In Liyue, fiancee Kamisato Ayaka

"Then I have to wait for Liyue to pass this test before I can truly relieve myself of the heavy responsibility of being the god of Liyue."

Zhongli took a deep breath and ended the topic: "Okay, let's stop chatting here. It's almost time for me to fulfill my duties as Zhongli."

"Zhongli's...responsibility?" Ji Qiao was slightly taken aback, not knowing why.

"Although Morax is the ancestor of all the immortals, he is still one of the immortals in the final analysis. Every time an immortal passes away in Liyue, there will be a grand commemorative ceremony. This is Liyue's tradition."

Zhongli explained: "But now Liyue Qixingguang has to deal with the immortals and fools, and this gift ceremony... I'm afraid I don't have time to take care of it."

"Fortunately, as a guest minister of the Past Life Hall, I have enough qualifications and reasons to hold this gift-giving ceremony."

"Is it necessary to do this?" Ji Qiao asked in surprise: "I know that you are looking forward to the idea of ​​fishing to relieve the heavy responsibility, but the matter of delivering the coffin to yourself...is a bit delicate no matter how you think about it?"

"The ceremony of sending off the immortals is also held to let the people of Liyue realize more clearly the fact that Emperor Yanwang has passed away."

Zhongli turned around and faced towards the direction of Xiangshengtang: "Also, this can be regarded as [Zhongli] adding a performance to the work content of Xiangshengtang."

"Performance?"

"Since I have decided to live in Liyue Port as an ordinary Liyue person, I naturally have to think about my future."

Zhongli said solemnly: "The grand ceremony of sending the fairy ceremony will cost a lot of money. Although Liyue Qixing has no time to take care of sending the fairy ceremony now, as the son of Emperor Yan, Min, the current ruler of Liyue, naturally won't let the Hall of Rebirth bear this expense."

"With Hall Master Hu's personality, even if it is the Liyue Seven Stars, there will still be one Mora that should be collected."

"You really know how to plan carefully...Wait, that's not right!"

Ji Qiao suddenly thought of some blind spot, and quickly put on a serious expression: "Aren't you Morax?! Wouldn't it be easy for you to make Mora?"

"That's true, but since I have decided to bid farewell to Morax, naturally I can no longer use his power."

"alright."

Ji Qiao didn't know what to say, so she shook her head and sighed: "Then you go and prepare to send Xian Dianyi, and I will show you how far the confrontation between Liyue Seven Stars and the immortals has developed."

"Well, then thank you very much."

"You're welcome, just remember to invite me to dinner next time we meet... Don't forget to bring Mo La!"

-

"Please, please calm down, everyone!"

I heard Gan Yu's anxious but helpless voice from afar. Ji Qiao followed the source of her voice and saw a group of immortals in the form of cranes and deer confronting Liyue Qixing with a strong attitude. The Liyue Seven Stars are not afraid at all.

The tense atmosphere continued to spread, making Gan Yu, who was standing in the center, full of embarrassment, hesitating to speak.

"It seems that the situation is really not good."

Even from a distance, Ji Qiao could feel the atmosphere of a war imminent, fearing that a big fight might happen anytime in the next second.

Even so, the Liyue Seven Stars headed by Ningguang still did not back down, and they were even more calm in the face of the oppression of the immortals.

"Hmph! What else is there to say!"

The one who took the lead was the one who was good at chatting... Uh, it was about Zhenjun Liuyun borrowing the wind: "You not only concealed the death of the emperor, but also hid the immortal ancestor Fashui without authorization, and now even we have intercepted him in Liyue Port Besides, do you really think that after the emperor passes away, this Liyue will be the world of your Liyue Seven Stars!"

"Calm down the anger of the Xian family, Qi Xing definitely doesn't mean that."

Facing the immortal who has guarded Liyue for thousands of years, Ningguang was calm and composed, without any panic: "It's just that the emperor's murder happened suddenly, even if I was on the scene at the time, I didn't notice anything strange in advance. In order to be able to To regain the initiative in the next operation, hiding the immortal ancestor Fashui and blocking Liyue Port is also a last resort."

"I have to? I don't think so!"

"Hi, Miss Keqing."

"Ok?"

Suddenly a familiar voice came from beside her ear, Ke Qing turned her head subconsciously, and found that it was Ji Qiao who had slipped to her side at some time, she was startled.

"Ji Qiao? Why are you here?"

Although the immortals from Jueyunjian were too caught off guard this time, and the Qianyan army was short-handed and unable to seal off all the surrounding areas, after all, the immortals came this time with a tough attitude of provoking a teacher to inquire about their crimes. The coercion is far beyond what ordinary people can bear, and they don't worry about being heard by others.

Didn't expect a fish that escaped the net to slip in? !

"I came to see Le... Cough, I mean, the immortals who watched Jueyunjian have such a strong attitude, but Miss Keqing just watched from the sidelines from the beginning to the end, isn't she going to say something? "

Based on Ji Qiao's understanding of Ke Qing, she would never say a word when facing the tough immortals... Just kidding, she dared to speak out to Morax during the invitation ceremony, so how could she be here? Admit cowardly in front of the immortals!

"Because Ningguang told me repeatedly in advance that I must restrain my emotions and try not to speak."

Ke Qing's expression was rather sullen: "I really can't understand their arrogant attitude. In the final analysis, the people who have supported Liyue all these years are obviously our Liyue Seven Stars, so why should they ask the teacher for their crimes now?"

"Besides, we didn't cause Morax's death."

"really."

Ji Qiao nodded approvingly, and looked at Ning Guang, who was talking with the immortals, with a hint of admiration in her eyes.

How else can we say that the right of heaven is respected, even in the face of the unkind immortals, Ningguang has no fear at all, and has maintained a calm attitude from the beginning to the end.

"So how are you negotiating?"

"As you can see, the conversation is almost on the verge of collapse."

Although the development of the scene is getting worse and worse, Ke Qing's expression seems to be a lot more relaxed, probably because he really can't stand this feeling of aggrieved: "Although from the standpoint of the Liyue Seven Stars, the current situation with the immortals Confrontation is really not a wise choice, but in order to maintain the order of Liyue Port, we can't back down on anything!"

"Everyone, please calm down."

Gan Yu is still trying to act as a mediator, trying to prevent the confrontation between Immortal and Qixing: "Now that the emperor has been killed, Liyue is also in crisis, if there is internal strife at this time, it will only make the fools and Liyue's enemies stand on the sidelines... "

"Gan Yu, there is no need to say any more."

Zhenjun Liuyun borrowed the wind to snort coldly: "We are only here for the emperor this time, if you continue to block, don't blame us for being rude!"

"Zhenjun Liuyun Borrowing the Wind..." Gan Yu opened his mouth with a look of embarrassment.

Witnessing the atmosphere that was about to reach the tipping point, Ji Qiao couldn't help but sighed, and said to him, brother Zhongli, you really have a big heart.

Everyone is going to break up and start a war because of you, but you are... busy looking for a coffin for yourself.

"Everyone, can you listen to me?"

Although this is a matter between the Liyue Seven Stars and the immortals, Ji Qiao knows the truth of the matter after all, not to mention that from his point of view, there is no need to make such an unpleasant scene, if they really let them fight because of unnecessary things... This Liyue is completely messed up!How can I stay like this!

There is no other way, I can only act as a peacemaker once.

"who are you?"

Liu Yun borrowed Feng Zhenjun's tone in a bad tone: "This is a matter between immortals and Seven Stars, how can you, a mortal, be allowed to intervene!"

"This is true, but as a mortal, I am also a mortal living in this Liyue Harbor." Maybe it was not long before we parted from Zhongli, which made Ji Qiao's way of speaking more similar. He said slowly with an elegant yet polite attitude: "Besides, I am not from Liyue, but a stranger who came from a long way from Dao's wife. In terms of status, I neither belong to Liyue Seven Stars nor to the immortal family. "

"As the saying goes, a bystander is clear. I know exactly what happened in Liyue Port recently. Since the immortals and Qixing are unwilling to back down, why don't I speak a few words of justice?"

"To be fair? Hmph, that's fine! Just let you, an outsider, say who is more reasonable in this matter!"

"Thank you."

"When I first came to Liyue, I often heard such a saying - although Liyue is managed by the seven stars of Liyue, the real controller of Liyue has always been Emperor Yan." Ji Qiao paused, Feeling that everyone's eyes were on him, he smiled slightly: "Actually, after the emperor was killed, I heard a lot of gossip in Liyue Port, one of which was that the emperor's murder was planned by Liyue Seven Stars, The purpose is to seize power and usurp the throne."

"Seize power and usurp the throne?"

The aura of the True Lord Cutting the Moon and Building the Sun suddenly became colder, and his voice was cold and deep: "Human beings have acted recklessly to the point where even the emperor dares to harm you in order to fight for power! It's really unreasonable!"

Ke Qing frowned, and couldn't help but open her mouth to refute, but Ning Guang stretched out her hand to stop her.

She stared at Ji Qiao with a sinking face, as if waiting for his follow-up speech.

"Immortal family, please calm down first, do all the immortals know about Guyun Pavilion?"

"Guyun Pavilion?" The silent Great Sage Subduing Demon suddenly took over the conversation, his handsome face flashed a trace of seriousness: "That is the place where the King of Rocks once threw a huge rock spear to suppress the demon god, why? Could it be that Guyun The seal of the pavilion...is it loose?"

"We passed Guyun Pavilion just now, and we can still feel the power of the emperor's seal left in the rock spear, there is absolutely no possibility of loosening it!"

"This fairy family misunderstood. I often hear the legend of Guyun Pavilion from the storyteller in Liyue Port, so I just want to confirm whether it is really formed by the huge rock spear thrown by the rock king emperor. But... since How could the King of Rocks have the power to open up the world and split mountains and rocks, but how could he be killed by mortals?"

"This……"

The immortals suddenly fell silent and remained silent for a long time: "Indeed, with the strength of the Emperor Rock King, no matter how powerful a mortal is, there is absolutely no possibility of competing with him."

"The power of Emperor Yanwang is well known in Liyue, and the legends and deeds about him are even more widely spread." Ji Qiao continued meaningfully: "However, even so, there are still rumors in Liyue—— Dijun Yanwang was assassinated by Liyue Qixing who is a mortal. Don’t those who spread the rumors know the strength of Dijun Yanwang?”

"According to what you mean, is someone trying to blame Liyue Seven Stars on purpose?" Liuyun asked Zhenjun Fengfeng.

"I'm just telling what I've seen, heard, and want to tell. As for the rest, I think the immortals will make up their own minds."

Ji Qiao stroked her chest with her hands: "Besides, this Liyue Port has been guarded by the Emperor Yanwang for thousands of years. If the immortals use their immortal power here to destroy every brick and tile of Liyue Port... I am afraid that the emperor will be in the Nine Springs. You will feel sad too."

Obviously, Ji Qiao's words successfully made the immortals give up their plan to attack, and even the original turbulent momentum was restrained a lot.

"It's true, as you said, maybe there are really people who are sowing dissension and trying to achieve ulterior motives." Zhenjun Liuyun borrowed wind for a long time, and then spoke again: "But the death of the emperor is also a fact. Since we are here If you do, you will never leave empty-handed!"

"It's natural, but now someone in Liyue Port is taking advantage of the death of the emperor to stir up trouble, trying to plot against Liyue Port protected by the emperor."

Ji Qiao reasoned hard: "Liyue has lost the Emperor Yan, and only the Liyue Seven Stars are left as the last barrier. At this most critical juncture, the Liyue Seven Stars are also doing their best for this land."

"Then... what do you say?"

The right to speak in this negotiation has undoubtedly been dominated by Ji Qiao. Whether it is the Liyue Seven Stars representing human beings, or the three-eyed and five-display real person representing gods, they are all waiting for Ji Qiao's solution.

"In my opinion, it's better for everyone to take a step back. All the immortals will give Liyue Seven Stars three days as a time limit. If you can't give all the immortals a satisfactory explanation after three days, then Xingshi will not be able to blame you." Late."

"Three days?" The immortals present looked at each other, then nodded: "Okay, I will do as you said! We will come back in three days!"

With Ji Qiao's intervention in this confrontation, at least a temporary sentence was drawn. After the three-day period was agreed, the immortals in Jueyunjian also returned to their respective hermitages.

It's really been a long time since I've been so tired. It's really uncomfortable to be caught between the Liyue Seven Stars and the immortals. I'm afraid that if I accidentally say the wrong thing, it will directly become a small flame that detonates the explosive barrel.

Ji Qiao took a deep breath, turned around and looked at the girls who were all staring at her without blinking... the next second, she straightened out her facial expressions and image, and even flirtatiously lifted up the broken hair on her forehead, revealing A self-confessed handsome smile.

"—You can worship me, but don't fall in love with me~"

PS: The belated second update, 4.5K chapter.

Chapter 39 039: Ayaka Kamisato: I suddenly feel heavy in my head...

Ji Qiao has always been the best at such things as talking.

Don't get me wrong, it doesn't have any meaning on other levels, and it doesn't have any connection with Missy.

Really.

"This crisis, I really want to thank you for your help."

Liyue Qixing, who still doesn't know the truth about the assassination of Emperor Yan, is not only looking for the murderer, but also needs to maintain the order of Liyue Port while keeping an eye on the secret movements of the fools. People, even Ningguang, who has experienced large and small business wars, can't help but feel a little bit incapacitated.

It's not that she can't do anything, it's just that she still needs to deal with the crisis in Liyue Port to prevent the fools from making trouble secretly. The longer the delay, the more likely the fools will succeed. If there are too many explanations, the immortals will only preconceive that it is their sophistry of Liyue Qixing.

In addition, the immortals in Absolute Cloud have lived in seclusion in the mountains for a long time, and they don't know anything about the current ecology of Liyue Port. It may take a long time to really explain it clearly.

But time did not allow her to do this, and the group of immortals... really didn't seem to have that patience.

Fortunately, Ji Qiao, who does not stand on any side from a standpoint, intervened to avoid the worst situation from happening.

"If you hadn't come forward to mediate in the end, the confrontation between the Liyue Seven Stars and the immortals would not have stopped so easily."

"Yeah, you have to thank me very much."

In the final analysis, Ji Qiao just spoke out about the unreasonable things about the murder of the emperor. In fact, whether it is the Liyue Seven Stars or the three-eyed and five-display real person, they should have paid attention to it, but because of the positions of both parties and the situation at the time , they simply have no time to care about it.

It was like lighting the fuse of dynamite.

To be honest, I originally wanted to reveal the truth about the death of Yan Wang Dijun, but after thinking about it, since I promised to keep Zhongli a secret, I gave up this idea.

With Ning Guang's mind, even if Ji Qiao just revealed a little bit of information, she is very likely to extract the cocoon from it and finally learn the truth of the matter.

What's more, when I think that everyone is kept in the dark, even Ning Guang, who always puts himself in the role of a chess player, has become a pawn in this chess game. Only he is outside the chessboard. There is a sense of superiority.

I don't know what will be her expression when the dust of this chess game is settled and everything is revealed?

"Let's say it first, I don't appreciate verbal thanks."

Ji Qiao sat casually in Ningguang's original position, with her legs crossed in a high-profile manner, as if she was being reasonable and unforgiving.

He picked up the glazed ceramic teacup, and when his lips touched the rim, he seemed to be able to feel the scent of lipstick left on it. Ji Qiao took a sip of the still steaming black tea, and sighed in his heart that the taste was really good... Well, all kinds meaningful!

Of course, it is 2 years behind my eldest lady!
