Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

Liyue, inside the Xin Yue Xuan restaurant.

Venti held a wine bottle in his left hand and a wine cup in his right, wolfing down the food given with contempt.

Zhongli couldn't bear to watch; he looked at Da Da Li Ya and said, "If there's anything, you can ask now."

"Hehe, Mr. Zhongli is truly straightforward."

Da Da Li Ya raised his hand to pour Zhongli a cup of wine and said with a smile, "The Geo Archon has passed away, and Liyue has lost the protection of a god, but I've discovered that the people of Liyue seem even more self-reliant."

"Oh, is the Geo Archon very important to Liyue?" When Zhongli said this, the corner of his mouth hooked up a single pixel.

Important or not important, this was his answer.

Liyue's current situation is what he himself anticipated.

God Wei holds Tianquan Star; in a mere three years he reached a height unprecedented and never to be surpassed.

Not to mention that Divine War, which fought until the Shadow Archon began to fear.

Xuan Ge dared to battle all gods alone, and Istaroth also dared to record it, not deleting it.

Therefore, God Wei planted too deep an influence in the people's hearts; this is not only Liyue, but the entire continent.

But the ones who revere God Wei the most are still the people of Liyue, after all, he is one of their own.

Liyue people now go abroad, whether doing business or traveling, their backs are straighter than gods', walking with a swagger.

Only because the Geo Archon is the strongest god, and from among their humans also came the strongest, even fiercer than gods.

So, he chose this time point to fake his death, letting Liyue be entrusted to human hands.

Although Xuan Ge's appearance was somewhat unexpected, isn't this also fate?

"Uh... hehe." Hearing this answer, Da Da Li Ya couldn't find words to reply for a moment.

The Geo Archon... important...

Seems important...

God Wei General's deeds are in the education of the Seven Nations, good and bad each criticized in their own way.

When he was young he actually had very complex feelings toward God Wei General, because he killed indiscriminately.

But growing up he gradually understood, God Wei General Xuan Ge slaughtered the high-level officials of various nations, actually for the sake of better unification, for the sake of better management.

So he killed the chicken to warn the monkeys, directly scaring the nobles and classes of the Seven Nations into not daring to show their faces for five hundred years.

Seeing Da Da Li Ya didn't understand these things, Zhongli explained a sentence: "The Geo Archon only has the merit of unifying the Archon War for Liyue, while God Wei General raised human faith to a height equal to gods."

"But this..." Da Da Li Ya weighed his words, "Isn't this Liyue's saying, what's it called, hold the bowl to eat, put down the bowl to curse your mother?"

Venti downed half a bottle of wine, then said with a smile: "Hey, Old Man means practicalism."

"Practicalism?" Da Da Li Ya was truly somewhat confused, "The Geo Archon created Mora, and Liyue is also the nation of wealth, however you look at it it's very practical."

"So, this is practicality."

Venti drank a cup of wine then explained to him: "God Wei means, if this Geo Archon doesn't give Liyue people work, then don't work, let the capable occupy the position."

"... I'm gone." Da Da Li Ya felt his brain had been slapped.

This... this God Wei General is so contrary to reason?

"The title of god is bestowed by people, but gods are not illusory, so God Wei General wants to break this rule."

Zhongli sensed the Raiden Shogun had already arrived in Liyue; he threw out a sentence to let Da Da Li Ya's CPU burn itself up.

He could sense it; Venti naturally could too.

Venti glanced at the wine in his hand that he couldn't afford; he reluctantly parted with it, put down the wine and looked at the two: "I still have business, I'm leaving first."

Zhongli frowned and reminded: "Venti, the current situation is too chaotic."

He had already heard Raiden Shogun's counterattack against Xianyun's words, what Qiu Ge Zhi Di was smashed out by herself, these things caused his state of mind to change.

"God Wei General once said, a triangle is the most stable." Venti greedily drank another cup, then went to find Rosalind.

Any later, afraid even the soup wouldn't be available to drink.

"Hmm..." Seeing Venti insist on leaving, Zhongli responded in a deep voice, not making a move to stop him.

After all, the karmic entanglement between Rosalind and Xuan Ge was something Venti accidentally poked out.

Now only the two remained in the private room; Da Da Li Ya picked up a few pieces of meat, tasted them, then asked: "Is it true that God Wei General injured all gods back then?"

Zhongli didn't answer, but counter-asked: "As the Ice Queen's Harbinger, don't you know?"

"Uh... actually I just find it somewhat hard to believe, after all even Captain couldn't do it." Da Da Li Ya scratched his head; Captain had once encountered God Wei, and even served as God Wei Guard for a period.

According to Captain, back then God Wei General dared to directly lead cavalry, at the slightest disagreement charging into the Abyss Rift, killing in and out seven times.

"Historical Records: God Wei fell in Qiu Ge Zhi Di at merely the Weak Crown Age."

"Weak Crown Age?" Da Da Li Ya found it even more inconceivable, "He actually wasn't an adult!?"

Zhongli fell silent for an instant, explaining for him: "Twenty years old..."

In his heart he added a sentence: almost twenty-one, because in a few days it will be Xuan Ge's birthday.

Thinking of this, Zhongli even somewhat didn't dare imagine Xianyun's appearance when she collapsed back then; that was after all someone she raised with her own hands.

Da Da Li Ya: "..."

This time it was Da Da Li Ya's turn to fall silent.

"Truly a monster."

Da Da Li Ya perked up his spirit, revealing a battle-intent expression full of regret.

"What a pity, I'm not from the same era as Shen Wei, otherwise I'd really want to exchange blows with him."

Zhongli didn't look at him, but had already calculated the outcome in his heart.

One nine.

With one spear thrust from Xuan Ge, Da Da Li Ya would owe Xuan Ge nine lives.

When Xuan Ge goes mad, his first spear thrust nearly killed Venti, let alone that Sky Bow using Ya Jiao as an arrow.

Liyue, Northland Bank Branch.

Rosalind was looking at Da Da Li Ya's plan in her exclusive office.

"Da Da Li Ya, I've told you not to do this, but you just won't listen."

Rosalind looked at that brainless plan, she helplessly held her forehead.

This is Shen Wei's homeland, yet Da Da Li Ya actually wants to force out the Geo Archon, isn't this making trouble?

If this matter goes wrong, Tian Quan Star Ningguang would truly dare to send troops, and bring the Yuheng crashing into Snezhnaya.

Although Liyue's strongest army, the Shen Wu Army, guards the tomb in Qiu Ge Zhi Di, the Qianyan Army aren't just eating dry rice either.

These current Qianyan Army are all sons following their fathers' aspirations, passed down generation after generation.

They all regret not having followed General Shen Wei on campaigns, and have been waiting for the opportunity of the remaining six nations to invade.

Waiting for that one sentence: 'Though far, they shall be executed.'

So, the Doctor fundamentally dares not come to Liyue, even slices keep an extremely low profile, not daring to stir up any trouble.

The wealthy are the same, this Liyue Northland Bank Branch of his is entirely working for Liyue, he only dares to grumble a couple sentences in Snezhnaya, not daring to say a single word face-to-face.

"Oh my~ you seem troubled, need the wind to help blow it away?"

Hearing this movement, Rosalind put down the papers, looking displeased at the Anemo Archon standing at the doorway.

Seeing Rosalind's loathing gaze, Venti covered his heart and said sadly: "Don't look at me like that, it hurts my heart."

"Barbatos, do you think you have the qualifications to say that?"

Rosalind looked at Venti with cold indifference.

"You claim Xuan Ge is your friend with your mouth, but when it came to striking, you were the most ruthless."

Hearing these words, Venti's expression pained for an instant, then he didn't conceal it either, directly stating his purpose for coming.

"Rosalind, Xuan Ge has returned."

"Heh, Lord Anemo Archon, do you believe those words yourself?"

Frost began to surface on Rosalind's arm, she didn't want to converse further with Venti, after all she owed Venti a debt of gratitude.

Her encounter with Xuan Ge was an accident, but it was indeed personally forged by Venti.

That day, a Great General in black suit with cloud patterns, of heroic bearing, stood beneath the Wind God Statue, encountering a girl practicing singing.

And that girl, due to shyness, missed a beat and ran off-key.

The General didn't laugh at the girl, but also opened his mouth to sing, using his tone-deaf, completely off-key tuning to coax her.

Thinking of this, Rosalind's eye sockets reddened as she looked at Venti: "Not entering the earth's veins, soul scattering and spirit dispersing, Barbatos, your heart is truly ruthless."
