Keqing has been having some headaches lately.
As one of the seven stars of Liyue, Yuheng Star, her job mainly includes measuring land and surveying terrain.
Therefore, her workplaces are mostly located in remote and desolate areas.
Despite being born into a prestigious and noble family, Keqing did not have the arrogance typical of other aristocratic families. On the contrary, wanting people to understand that she did not attain her position because of her birth, Keqing always insisted on doing her work personally and rarely took her subordinates to conduct surveys or similar tasks.
In addition, Keqing occasionally patrols the streets to conduct on-site investigations into social security issues in Liyue.
However, she had just returned from a survey in the wilderness and was planning to go home to rest when suddenly, she was blocked by the crowd in front of her.
"It seems there was some kind of argument..."
Thinking this, Ke Qing stepped forward, wanting to mediate between the two parties.
But upon seeing the person lying on the ground, even with Keqing's good temper, a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes...
Lying on the ground is the only son of Kaiyang, one of the seven stars of Liyue in this generation.
Because of his father's status, this guy usually acts recklessly. His father sent him to the Thousand Rock Army with the intention of training him.
Thanks to his father's connections, this guy started as a squad leader in the Thousand Rock Army and was later promoted to a junior commander. His job was to patrol the road and handle trivial matters such as disputes.
However, for some reason, this guy has recently developed a great interest in Keqing herself...
So, taking advantage of his work relationship, he tried every means to create opportunities to "bump into" Keqing, and would occasionally give Keqing some small gifts.
But Ke Qing, a workaholic, had no time to pay attention to him.
But there was nothing he could do. Out of respect for Kaiyang Xing, even though he had refused many times, this guy always came knocking on his door with a smile, and he couldn't make a move...
Therefore, I have no choice but to do more fieldwork...
After all, if too much time is wasted, the work won't be finished...
Cough cough...
Setting aside other thoughts, Keqing then looked at the young man who was arguing with that guy.
"Huh? This person looks familiar? Could it be...?"
To confirm her suspicions, Ke Qing disregarded the need to conceal her identity and hurriedly stepped forward...
………………
"Miss Qing!"
The man lying on the ground, upon seeing Ke Qing arrive, seemed to be injected with adrenaline. He quickly got up, glared at Jiang Mu, and then approached Ke Qing with a fawning smile.
"What brings you here today? Have you finished your work? If you have, perhaps..."
"Excuse me." Ke Qing frowned, ignoring the chattering old man, and faced Jiang Mu, hesitatingly said.
"You are... Jiang Mu?"
"I didn't expect that Lady Keqing would still remember me."
Jiang Mu was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said.
"It's not that I remember you."
Upon hearing this, Ke Qing smiled slightly and then gently shook her head.
"Senior Gan Yu often mentions you in front of us, and keeps asking where you are now."
"but……"
After looking Jiang Mu up and down, Ke Qing continued.
"I didn't expect you to be back now. She would be so happy if she knew."
Sister Gan Yu...
Jiang Mu was somewhat touched. He hadn't expected that even after being away for so long, Sister Gan Yu would still be thinking of him. It was truly...
“Senior Gan Yu has been busy at Yuehai Pavilion lately. If you have time, you can go and see her.” Ke Qing said to Jiang Mu, as if she had thought of something.
"She's been so busy lately, she hasn't had a proper rest. If..."
"I see."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mu quickly nodded.
"I'll go over there in a bit and try to talk to her."
"good."
Upon hearing this, Ke Qing smiled.
While Gan Yu's work style is admirable, her relentless work ethic, day and night, is truly frightening.
Although she says that's how she's always lived, but...
Now that someone can go and talk to her, that's really great...
However, before that...
What's going on here? Do you need help?
Looking at the man beside her whose expression had become somewhat unfriendly, Ke Qing asked in a low voice.
Keqing knew this guy's character somewhat. As a minor commander in the Thousand Rock Army, his temper was almost no different from that of some street thugs. If it weren't for his father protecting him, he probably would have...
To be honest, Ke Qing was quite pleased to see him get thrashed by Jiang Mu.
"I see..."
Jiang Mu thought for a moment and then told Ke Qing everything that had just happened, without embellishing anything.
After all, there are so many people watching...
"Ah Qing, don't listen to his excuses."
Upon hearing Jiang Mu's words, the junior commander of the Thousand Rock Army immediately became anxious, pointed at Jiang Mu's nose, and said sternly.
"You brat, don't make false accusations! It was you who brought the demon into the city, intending to do something nefarious during the Immortal Invocation Ceremony! Ah Qing, capture him now, or else..."
"bass!"
Keqing drew her Dragon's Roar sword from its sheath and held it directly against the former's neck.
"Shut up!"
At this moment, Ke Qing was no longer the gentle and mild-mannered woman she had been just moments before; she was clearly enraged.
"you……"
The man subconsciously swallowed and finally closed his mouth.
"It's true that there's been a ritual to invite immortals recently." Ke Qing sheathed her sword, looked around, and said calmly.
"However, Liyue is an open city. We, the Thousand Rock Army, do not prohibit guests with pets from entering Liyue Harbor. As long as they have registered at the Moonsea Pavilion, the owner and pet can move freely within Liyue Harbor!"
"good!"
Someone shouted, and immediately, applause rang out from all around.
"As for you..." Ke Qing looked at the man whose face was ashen and said.
“By abusing your position, you have embezzled other people’s money. Your crimes are such that even your father cannot protect you!”
"And you, your accomplices," Ke Qing said, looking at his two lackeys.
"From this day forward, there are no such people as you in the Thousand Rock Army. Now, immediately go to the Chiayi Instructor, return your uniforms and weapons, and await further instructions!"
After receiving this series of orders, Jiang Mu began to think more highly of the girl.
As expected of someone who dared to question even the Rock King Emperor, his aura is truly extraordinary.
"You slut, I've been pursuing you for so long, and you still prefer this newcomer, pretty boy. Since that's the case..."
While muttering to himself, the person lying on the ground suddenly pulled out a dagger from his chest, took a few steps forward, and was about to stab Ke Qing in the back!
"You won't get out of here alive either!"
"Alright." After briefly announcing the fates of the others, Ke Qing turned around, about to speak, when she saw Jiang Mu's eyes narrow, and he cried out in terror...
"careful!"
"Pfft!—"
