The next day, the streets of Liyue Harbor were bustling with people, but there was an unusual atmosphere. Lin Huan walked slowly, her expression solemn and focused, her eyes swept across the crowd from time to time, trying to capture their reactions to the assassination of the emperor from their expressions and words.

She first came to Sanwan Buguogang. It was still lively here, with the laughter of the drinkers coming one after another, but if you listen carefully, the topic revolves around the assassination of the emperor. Tian Tiezui sat aside, not on the stage to give a lecture, gently shaking his folding fan, with a cup of tea on the table, which seemed to have gone cold, his face full of worry and restlessness.

Lin Huan walked forward and sat down beside Tian Tiezui, asking softly: "Mr. Tian, ​​you seem to be worried, what is it?" Tian Tiezui sighed slightly and said slowly: "Who doesn't know that the Emperor of the Immortal Ceremony fell from the sky? This fact is a major change in Liyue. Now the Seven Stars do not allow the people to discuss this matter, but how can there be a wall that is impenetrable in this world? Moreover, now that the masters of the Seven Stars do not allow the people to admire the immortal body, this matter is bound to arouse suspicion, and it is normal for some people to be dissatisfied. But in my opinion, the masters of the Seven Stars must have done this for the stability of Liyue. They do not want internal and external troubles to crush Liyue at the same time. As far as I am concerned, I can understand the considerations of the Seven Stars masters."

Lin Huan nodded slightly and said gently, "Mr. Tian is right. The Seven Stars are responsible for protecting Liyue. At this critical moment, their decision must have a profound meaning. The assassination of the Emperor has made everyone worried. However, at this moment, we should trust the ability and decision-making of the bigwigs, give them time and support, and jointly maintain the stability of Liyue. I believe that the situation will become clear soon, and Liyue will be able to overcome this difficulty."

Tian Tiezui was slightly stunned after hearing Lin Huan's words, and then the worry on his face eased a little. He gently closed his folding fan, nodded and said, "Miss Lin's words make sense. I was anxious at the moment and didn't think so clearly. The assassination of the emperor is indeed disturbing, but now I think that the Seven Stars must have their plans. We, the common people, can only wait for good news and believe that Liyue will survive this disaster."

Lin Huan nodded slightly, and then stopped talking. She just sat quietly beside Mr. Tian, ​​picked up the wine that the storekeeper placed next to her, and took a sip. Then, she continued to carefully observe the emotions of the drinkers around her. Some people looked sad and worried about the sudden accident of the emperor; some people were extreme in temperament, full of anger and indignation at the actions of Qixing, and pessimistically worried about the future of Liyue without the Emperor of Rock King; and some people whispered to each other, secretly guessing what kind of hidden secrets were hidden behind this matter, and wanted to make a fortune with the unprecedented changes. Such a variety of people is very touching.

It was almost time for dinner, so Lin Huan stood up to say goodbye to Mr. Tian, ​​and then went to Wanmin Hall. At this time, Master Mao was busy, but Xiangling and Guoba were nowhere to be seen. Seeing Lin Huan, Master Mao was slightly startled, and then he greeted her warmly: "Miss Lin, are you here to eat? Please take a seat." Lin Huan smiled and nodded slightly, followed Master Mao to the backyard, sat down at the table, and said softly: "Master Mao, there is no need to treat me specially, just give me a simple bowl of noodle soup. I mainly want to ask about the situation these days. Has the business of Wanmin Hall been affected?"

Master Mao frowned and sighed, "It has had some impact. Everyone is uneasy. But life has to go on. The Seven Stars don't allow us to see the immortal body. I think it's for the sake of Liyue's safety. We can only obey the arrangement."

Suddenly, the diners not far away started to discuss enthusiastically.

"It is really hard to understand why the emperor was assassinated. Who is so bold?" The bearded man looked confused and frowned.

"It's really strange. Qixing doesn't let us admire the immortal body. I always feel that there is something fishy about this matter." The tall and thin man nodded slightly, his face full of doubts.

At this time, an old man spoke calmly: "The Seven Stars must have a deep meaning in this move. The current situation is turbulent, and they must have made such a decision after careful consideration. We should believe that the Seven Stars are considering the future of Liyue."

But the young woman next to him pouted: "That being said, the Emperor has always protected us, but now he won't even let us see him for the last time. I always feel a little uncomfortable."

Everyone held their own opinions, and the argument became more intense. Master Mao heard the noise and hurried over, raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and persuaded: "Dear guests, please don't argue. Everyone is very sad about the assassination of the Emperor. But Qixing did this for the stability of Liyue. Let's wait and see what happens next."

After listening to Master Mao's words, everyone gradually quieted down. Lin Huan nodded slightly, looked at everyone, and said thoughtfully: "Master Mao, everyone does have many different opinions on Qixing's approach."

At this time, Master Mao breathed a sigh of relief, wiped his hands, and brought the freshly finished pastry to Lin Huan's table, speaking.

"Yes, some people think that Qixing did the right thing. After all, the Emperor was assassinated, the situation is unstable, and there can be no more chaos. The Fatui are also eyeing them covetously, and we can't let them take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble again. But some people don't understand and think that Qixing is unkind. But in my opinion, Qixing must be considering the overall situation, and everything is for the good of Liyue. Miss Lin, think about it, the assassination of the Emperor is undoubtedly a huge storm for Liyue. If the masters of Qixing don't make decisive decisions at this time, the situation in Liyue will probably be even more difficult to control. They are still determined to do what they think is best for Liyue despite the people's misunderstanding and even complaints. Although I am just a cook and run this small Wanmin Hall, I also understand that at this critical moment, stability is the top priority. After all, the stability of Liyue is related to the lives of each and every one of us."

Lin Huan said softly: "Indeed, in this special period, the stability of the country is of utmost importance. However, the emotions of the people cannot be underestimated and need to be appeased urgently. It's a pity that most of the energy of the Seven Stars is now focused on external security issues."

Lin Huan looked at Master Mao who was frowning slightly, and said softly: "Master Mao, don't worry. The Seven Stars can take care of external security, and they will not forget to appease the people. Although the situation is complicated now, I believe that the Liyue Seven Stars have their own overall considerations. We can also do our part to stabilize Liyue within our capacity. Just like in Wanmin Hall, comforting people with delicious food is also a kind of contribution."

After hearing this, Chef Mao's expression eased a little and he said, "Miss Lin is right. Even though Wanmintang is just a small restaurant, it can still do its part to comfort the people during this special period. I will prepare new dishes with all my heart, comfort people with delicious food, and let everyone find a bit of warmth in this uneasy atmosphere."

Lin Huan smiled and nodded, with approval in his eyes, and said, "Master Mao is very understanding. Wanmin Hall will surely become a warm haven in people's hearts during this special period. I believe that with everyone's joint efforts, Liyue will surely overcome this difficult time."

Lin Huan thought for a moment and said, "Master Mao, your kindness will surely infect more people. Each of us is like a small star. Although our light is weak, when we gather together, we can illuminate the future of Liyue."

She slowly picked up the teacup beside her, took a sip, and continued, "With people like you who are willing to dedicate themselves to Liyue, regardless of their status, I firmly believe that even if the situation is difficult, Liyue will be able to hold on and wait for the arrival of light."
