"Moreover, I've been in this world for so long, and apart from Jueyun Mountain and Aozang Mountain, I haven't seen any of the wonders of this world yet. I want to see more of it."
There's something Jiang Ning didn't mention: as the two walked through the outskirts of Liyue, they occasionally helped passing caravans and local residents avoid being bothered by monsters, giving them a feeling of wandering the world with swords.
This allowed Jiang Ning to fulfill a small part of his past fantasies.
Back in Rihara, the patrol density and number of the Chiiwa Army seem to have more than doubled.
I guess it's because of the Rock-Headed King incident?
Moreover, it seems that each checkpoint has a Thousand Rock Army instructor.
When they encountered Jiang Ning and his companion, the Thousand Rock Army soldiers saluted them but did not approach them for questioning.
"It seems our story has already spread..."
Jiang Ning muttered to himself.
"Keep it up, senior sister, let's try to get to Liyue Harbor tonight."
"okay."
…………
"What are your thoughts on that kid from Jiangning, Xiao?"
The rooftop of Wangshu Inn seemed to have been cleared out; there was no one there. Xiao, who had made Jiang Ning and Shen He pay their respects to him during the day, was now kneeling on one knee before the back of a handsome young man, showing the utmost respect.
"Liu Yun has taken on a good disciple."
Xiao lowered his eyes and said.
"I've been observing that child for over two years. He's a very good-natured boy. And perhaps his special abilities can help you get rid of the influence of the remnants of the demon god."
If Jiang Ning were here, he would definitely recognize the young man in front of him as Mr. Zhongli, who taught him gun skills and rock element.
“Even without that child’s help, I will still help the Emperor guard this place,” Xiao said firmly.
Zhongli chuckled softly and said nothing more.
Even if they can't solve their own problems, are they unwilling to let their juniors take risks?
However, Zhongli believed that Jiang Ning could solve Xiao's problems.
Moreover, it seems that this year's ceremony was for Keqing's child to invite the immortals, right?
Zhongli was very much looking forward to seeing what kind of surprise the girl who advocated rule by man would bring her.
…………
At night, Liyue Harbor is like a city that never sleeps, with every household lighting up its lights.
Under the lights, it appears luxurious yet full of ancient grandeur.
With its red wood and black tiles, it looks just as magnificent as the Forbidden City in my hometown.
Moreover, I've also seen the Genshin Impact PV promotional materials.
The scene before us was clearly much larger than what was shown in the game's promotional materials.
And they are much more luxurious.
That makes sense, given that it is the center of a country, a place where countless ships pass through and merchants gather.
How could it be so small?
Although it was night, there were still quite a few people entering Liyue Harbor.
I don't know why, but I always have this feeling of being relaxed on the outside but tense on the inside.
"Senior sister, let's go line up over there."
Jiang Ning felt that they should follow the rules for ordinary people, but unfortunately, the two of them had such an extraordinary temperament that they stood out even in a crowd.
The Chiyan Army, responsible for registering people entering Liyue Harbor, also noticed this pair of one big and one small.
He strode forward, watched Jiang Ning happily salute, and then said:
"The cliffs are sturdy and the mountains are immovable! Young hero, we meet again. Thank you for saving my life!"
I don't know how to do it, but I know it's a long time
Jiang Ning stared at the person in front of him for a long time but still couldn't recognize him, so he could only ask, "Um, you are...?"
The Thousand Rock soldier said, "You may not remember me. Yesterday, that Rock Hound King, I'm ashamed to say, was the one who was knocked unconscious by the aftershocks..."
"Oh, you mean the one who wasn't injured but was lying on the ground? What are you doing here?"
Jiang Ning suddenly realized that he vaguely remembered it.
Qianyan Jun said, "The captain sent me here to rest. I told him I was fine, but the captain was worried I might have some aftereffects, and since I wouldn't rest, he sent me back to Liyue Harbor to guard the gate..."
Although it's work, the interior of Liyue Harbor is much safer than the outside.
Jiang Ning nodded: "I see... Your captain is just concerned about you."
"You can argue with that. But you two don't need to queue here; you can just go in."
Jiang Ning was somewhat surprised: "Won't this break the rules?"
"No, Lady Keqing specifically instructed that if the two distinguished guests come to Liyue Harbor, we will make things convenient for them. Besides, this is not breaking any rules."
Qianyanjun said.
"I see... Well then, thank you very much, senior sister. Let's go."
Jiang Ning smiled at the Qianyan Army soldier, then pulled Shen He away.
From the outside, Liyue Harbor already looks incredibly prosperous, but now that we're inside, it's truly brightly lit.
The faces of people on the streets and alleys were filled with happy smiles.
They seemed to be living a peaceful and prosperous life.
"The Emperor is truly amazing."
Jiang Ning exclaimed in admiration.
Shen He said, "Speaking of the Emperor, it seems the day for the Immortal Invitation Ceremony is approaching."
"A ritual to summon immortals?" Jiang Ning asked curiously.
On the way here, I happened to hear many business associations and ordinary people mention this term, but I didn't know exactly what it meant.
Jiang Ning didn't know.
"The Summoning Ceremony, simply put, is the day when the Geo Archon performs a divine miracle each year and meets with the people of Liyue..."
That's all Shen He knows.
Jiang Ning seemed to understand, but not quite. It was really difficult for her to ask her senior sister to explain... This was the time to...
"Commander, speak up and explain."
[Here it comes! The summoning ceremony for immortals, besides what the host senior sister mentioned, also includes the legendary Rock King's incarnations in a thousand forms as he travels among the people, experiencing their hardships and observing their lives.]
Therefore, on a specific day each year, their true forms descend to guide Liyue's future direction. This day essentially determines the most popular businesses in Liyue for the next year or even several years!
"I see..." Jiang Ning understood.
It's just the annual board meeting, and the boss is giving a speech.
The ceremony to invite immortals... I just happened to be there. It must be very lively.
Jiang Ning was very much looking forward to it.
15. Wanmintang, Xiangling
After traveling all day, Jiang Ning and Shen He were indeed quite hungry.
"Senior sister, let's find a place to eat... I just don't know where there are any good places to eat around here. I should have asked that guy from Qianyan Army earlier."
Jiang Ning touched his stomach, feeling a bit bloated.
"..."
Shen He was also somewhat helpless; he really didn't know the answer...
Jiang Ning looked left and right, then muttered, "At this point, we should look for the longest queue... I've got it!"
Jiang Ning saw what appeared to be a restaurant not far away, brightly lit.
And there are many people coming and going... Looking at these diners leaving, they all have rosy cheeks, and you can tell from their appearance that they have eaten very well.
This is the one.
He took Shen He's hand and walked quickly over.
The restaurant was a simple two-story building, not very big, and the decor was very simple, but the aroma wafting from inside solidified Jiang Ning's idea.
A plaque hangs at the entrance of the small building, bearing the three large characters "Wanmintang".
"Senior sister, is this place alright?"
Jiang Ning asked.
Shen He said, "I'll listen to you."
Jiang Ning nodded and entered the restaurant.
It seemed that because it was past lunchtime, a group of customers had just left, and there were now several empty seats inside.
Jiang Ning casually found a table in a corner, sat down, and began to look through the menu on the table.
"What would you like to eat, Senior Sister?" Jiang Ning asked. "Anything you like!"
He had the travel expenses given to him by the farmers who were grateful to him, and he also robbed the treasure-hunting gang that had recklessly tried to rob him and his senior sister along the way... It was probably tuition he paid to teach them to be better people.
It's safe to say that Jiang Ning could definitely afford to treat someone to at least one meal.
Shen He shook his head: "I'm not very clear about the dishes... Junior Brother, you can decide."
