Chapter 688

Morax knew this.

Because after Jiang Yan fell into slumber, Morax only then began to seriously manage the entire nation. Under Jiang Yan's avatar's iron-fisted policies at the time, Liyue's military strength had indeed soared, but it had also left the people of Liyue somewhat unbearably miserable.

Therefore, after Morax took power, he adopted a gentle policy of recuperation and replenishment.

Only then did the common folk of Liyue feel considerably better.

Until five hundred years ago, when the catastrophe of Khaenri'ah descended.

Morax had once seen that traveler's figure from afar.

But at the time the war was in a stalemate, so Morax did not take that traveler to heart.

Judging from traces over the past five hundred years, that traveler seemed to have joined the Abyss's camp.

But this matter...

Morax fell into a bit of a dilemma for the moment.

He looked toward Jiang Yan, you fellow, you really do give me a hard problem.

Jiang Yan's gaze wandered, refusing to meet Morax's eyes.

Looking every bit like it had nothing to do with him.

"Mm... regarding this matter, Lord Rex Lapis might know a thing or two."

"But I can't guarantee it, because you don't seem to understand Liyue's political situation very well."

"The Immortal Lord has governed for several thousand years; in the final analysis, Rex Lapis only descends once a year to issue a decree."

"All matters great and small in Liyue are handled by the Wood Spirit Immortal Lord."

"So compared to Geo Archon Rex Lapis, the Wood Spirit Immortal Lord might know a thing or two, perhaps."

Morax said, even casting an amused glance at Jiang Yan.

This time Jiang Yan could no longer sit still.

He had only come to watch the show; there was no need to drag himself into it too!!

Morax, this fellow, was truly ruthless.

As a god of over six thousand years, Jiang Yan, who was not yet four thousand and seventeen years old, was little different from a child before him.

Trying to outscheme an old fox of over six thousand years?

Heh, Jiang Yan was after all still relatively quite immature.

"Wood Spirit... Immortal Lord?"

A faint glimmer flashed in Ying's eyes.

How many times was this now that she had heard the name Wood Spirit Immortal Lord?

Previously Paimon had told her about the deeds of the Wood Spirit Immortal Lord.

At the time she had been a little curious.

Now hearing Zhong Li say so.

Ying now also showed a trace of hope in her expression.

If Morax only descended upon Liyue once a year, then he really might not necessarily know news about her brother.

Then that legendary Immortal Lord, as the chief steward who had always governed Liyue, might he know news about her brother?
