Are you threatening me?
Jiang Mu looked at Zhong Li, who remained calm and composed, and narrowed his eyes slightly before speaking.
"I'm just stating a fact."
Zhongli seemed to realize that what he had just said was somewhat inappropriate, so he softened his tone and said...
"Moreover, in any case, Liyue is a country that I personally built, and in any case, I will not stand by and watch it perish."
"I will make my move when that time really comes."
A fierce glint flashed in Zhongli's eyes.
"No matter what kind of enemy it is, I will not allow it to shake the foundation of Liyue."
At the same time, Zhongli looked at Jiang Mu and said solemnly.
"In the name of Morax, the Geo Archon, I assure you that as long as Liyue survives, your home and your loved ones will not suffer any harm!"
"..."
After a brief silence, Jiang Mu nodded.
"Okay, at least I will provide some assistance."
"In that case, I'm relieved."
Zhongli nodded in satisfaction and said.
"Then, I look forward to our cooperation."
With that, Zhongli nodded, sat up from the ground, and prepared to leave.
"etc!"
Suddenly, Jiang Mu called out to Zhong Li.
"Is there anything else?"
Zhongli asked with some doubt.
"Here you go." Jiang Mu took out the bottle of wine that Wendy had asked him to bring to Zhong Li from the system space.
“Wendy… uh, Barbatosto, I brought this to you.”
“Wendy…that’s a name that suits him.”
Zhongli nodded and accepted it.
"Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness."
………………
Watching Zhong Li's receding figure, Jiang Mu sighed softly.
"Although I originally planned to get involved in the story, I just wanted to be a bystander watching the show..."
"The Vortex Demon God Oser... I wonder if we can even defeat him..."
"Wait, that's not right. How did the Liyue people defeat Oser in the original story?"
"Oh, I remember now, it seems like Ningguang smashed up the Jade Pavilion..."
"As expected, she truly lives up to her reputation as the renowned...rich woman, Guang. Her move is truly extraordinary..."
"Never mind, it'll still take a while..."
With that thought in mind, Jiang Mu leisurely returned to his room.
Knowing that the ceremony to invite the immortals wouldn't begin for another ten days, Jiang Mu felt relieved and fell into a deep sleep...
the next day.
Because of the upcoming ritual to invite immortals, Gan Yu returned to Yuehai Pavilion early to prepare for the event, and Yan Fei followed her to assist her.
Jiang Mu, along with Xiang Ling, returned to Liyue Harbor after a brief inspection of the farm.
Since merchants from all over the world came to Liyue to listen to the teachings of the Geo Archon and participate in the Summoning Ceremony, almost all shops that provide food and lodging were fully booked during this period. Wanmin Hall, one of Liyue's famous restaurants, was naturally extremely popular.
In a sense, it was quite remarkable that Master Mao was able to get Xiangling to stay with Jiangmu for a whole day.
After saying goodbye to Xiangling, Jiang Mu continued to stroll around Liyue Harbor...
Just like in the game in my previous life, the entire Liyue Harbor is now filled with a joyous atmosphere. Everyone is discussing what kind of decree the Geo Archon will issue this year, and what benefits they will receive.
However, all of this had absolutely nothing to do with Jiang Mu.
Because he knew that after this year, the Rock Lord would completely disappear from Liyue, and in its place would be an era of "rule by man" instead of "divine rule".
And that mortal named "Zhongli" will always, always guard Liyue, witnessing the blooming and withering of flowers, and calmly watching the clouds drift by...
However, that's all a long way off. Right now, all Jiang Mu can do is properly send off this Geo Lord who has protected Liyue for thousands of years!
"Huh, ginger wood?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out.
"Keqing?"
Jiang Mu turned around and saw the person who spoke, who was none other than Lord Ke Qing, the Jade Balance Star whom he had met just yesterday.
"You're on patrol again?"
Jiang Mu sighed.
"It must have been really tough."
"Actually, it's alright."
Upon hearing this, Ke Qing waved her hand and said seriously.
"Protecting Liyue is the duty of the Seven Stars. I am just doing my best to help Liyue move in a better direction."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mu nodded approvingly.
"Oh, right."
Suddenly, Keqing seemed to remember something and said.
"I forgot to tell you, last time I mentioned to Ningguang that you had returned, and she asked me to tell you that if you have time, you can come to Qunyu Pavilion, there is something we can discuss."
"Ningguang is looking for me?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mu was somewhat surprised.
This guy is a businessman who won't do anything without a profit, so for him to suddenly approach him like this... it seems he has some new and interesting idea...
"Okay, I'll go to Qunyu Pavilion later."
Nodding to indicate that he understood, Jiang Mu said goodbye to Keqing and walked out of Liyue Harbor.
Why?
Keep in mind, these jade pavilions are located tens of thousands of meters in the sky. If he wanted to get up there, he would have to fly...
And take off from the spot within Liyue Harbor?
