Chapter 156 Talking with Zhongli
Chapter 156 Talking with Zhongli
Inside the Dust Song Pot
Kong looked at Zhongli, especially at his intact arms. He asked curiously, "Morax, are you an incarnation now? How did you recover your arms?"
"Please call me Zhongli now." Zhongli sighed, and he looked at Kong and continued, "So why did you come to Liyue? What do you want to do?"
"What I want to do is always simple. I am just a traveler. I am just traveling."
"But, there are always people who want to use me to accomplish what they want to do." Kong said this, staring at Zhongli with burning eyes, and the mark of time flashed in his pupils, "Do you also want to use me?"
“I have indeed thought about this.” Zhongli looked away unconsciously.
"It doesn't matter. You haven't implemented it yet anyway." Kong snapped his fingers, and a recliner appeared behind him. Lying on the chair, he looked at Zhongli and said, "So what are you going to do? Tell me first. If you want me to take the blame, you and Liyue will be dead."
Zhongli originally thought that he still had room for discussion, but Kong's words directly blocked the way.
He had no choice but to tell Zhongli his original plan, and Kong looked at Zhongli with a speechless look.
"You, can't you just say that you want to test the people of Liyue?" Kong did not agree with Zhongli's plan at all. In his opinion, there was no problem with the governance of Liyue itself. The problem of Liyue now was the issue of combat power.
Combat power is difficult to measure. If a god-level combat force is deployed, Liyue without the God of Geo will be defeated. Even if a mortal who can fight against a god appears temporarily, the life span of the mortal is not enough to protect Liyue forever.
"Moreover, your retirement plan does not stand up to scrutiny at all. The tests you set are more about testing combat power, which is unreasonable."
"What do you mean?" Zhongli was very confused. He looked at Kong with a confused look and asked.
Kong was lying on the chair with his legs crossed. He just lay there and said, "You have completely misunderstood your relationship with Liyue."
“As the god of Liyue, you are not the founder of Liyue. You are just the god who protects Liyue. Even if Liyue loses you, how they live is none of your business.”
"All you need to do now is to gradually reduce your interference in Liyue's construction. Humans are forgetful creatures. No matter how memorable something is, it will be forgotten after a long time."
"You only need to provide a backup when Liyue encounters a catastrophe. Humans cannot truly grow up without experiencing disasters."
After hearing what Kong said, Zhongli couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He had never thought about this aspect of the problem before.
"Okay, I've said everything I need to say. You can start with the Immortal Invitation Ceremony in a few days. For example, if it's an event that's originally held once a year, you can change it to once every two years, and then keep increasing the time. In the end, no one will care about you anymore."
"You will become a legend by then. This will not affect your retirement plan at all." Kong stood up from the recliner after he finished speaking. Before he left, he looked at Zhongli and said, "I still say the same thing. Don't think about using me. It will have unpredictable consequences."
After Kong finished speaking, his body turned into particles and disappeared from the spot, and the chair he was lying on also began to dissipate.
Zhongli still stood there, his eyes dim and unclear, no one knew what he was thinking about.
Kong's body turned into particles and reassembled into a complete body in front of Chen Ge Hu. He turned his head to look at Grandma Ping and found that there was a red-haired girl beside her. The girl was wearing very cool clothes.
He took a quick look and turned to Grandma Ping and said, "Zhongli is still in there. I don't have any more ideas right now, so let him talk."
After saying that, Kong left. He did not leave Yujingtai directly but instead visited it with great interest. After all, he was a traveler now.
Yan Fei asked Grandma Ping with some confusion: "Grandma Ping, who is this person? Also, who is Zhongli? Is he also an immortal?"
Grandma Ping didn't say anything, she just shook her head.
Seeing that Grandma Ping had no intention of answering, Yan Fei did not ask any further questions. She said hello to Grandma Ping and left.
After Yan Fei left for a while, the Chen Ge Hu moved again and Zhongli walked out. He looked at Grandma Ping and nodded.
Only then did Grandma Ping feel relieved a little, and then she started asking for details.
On the other side, after Kong had been strolling around Yujing Terrace for a while, he felt a little bored. Just as he was about to leave Yujing Terrace, a woman walked up to him and said, "Hello, sir."
Kong's eyebrows couldn't help but raise, he wasn't too surprised, "Who are you, what's the matter?"
"I'm Bai Xiao, and I'm affiliated with Tianquan, one of the Seven Stars of Liyue. The reason I came here is because Lady Ningguang invited me." Bai Xiao said respectfully. It seemed that she should have known Kong's basic information.
"Tianquan, Ningguang." Kong didn't know what the Seven Stars were going to do, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I got it. You lead the way."
"Yes, then please follow me closely." Bai Xiao said and led Kong in one direction.
On Qunyu Pavilion
Kong looked down at the scenery below and couldn't help but sigh: "This is really a beautiful sight. I just don't know if the owner's ability can support her ambition."
Bai Xiao said nervously, "Well, sir, this is Lady Ningguang's territory after all, so it's better not to say such things."
"It doesn't matter. My ability is enough to support me to do anything. On the contrary, as for Ningguang, I highly doubt her ability is not enough to support her ambition." Kong didn't care at all and emphasized it again.
Bai Xiao helplessly held her forehead and said helplessly: "Forget it, then sir, please come this way."
"No, I don't need you to lead the way." After Kong finished speaking, his body disappeared from the spot. This scene made Bai Xiao exclaim in surprise.
Inside the Qunyu Pavilion
Ningguang sat on a chair. Although she held a pen in her hand, she had no intention of moving. There was a trace of sadness on her face, and no one knew what she was thinking about.
"You must be Ningguang, right? What do you want from me?" Kong's voice suddenly appeared in the quiet room. Ningguang was startled. She stood up and looked around, then saw Kong in front of her.
At this time, Kong was sitting on a chair, crossing his legs and looking at Ningguang with a serious expression.
"You are the traveler, Sora?" Although Ningguang was already sure of the identity of the guy in front of her, she still asked.
