However, Xu Ning was not afraid to answer this question.

After all, as far as he knew, the seven rulers of the mortal world, the ultimate victors in these wars between demons and gods, did not care much about whether or not to respect the gods.

For example, if you were to say a few bad things about that person who doesn't do their job, the worst punishment you could get would be if they blew a mouthful of sand into your eyes!

However, if you pour Him a bowl of wine, He might even join in the cursing.

Autistic patients are considered slightly dangerous. "Did you disturb my eternity? If not, I don't care who you are! If you did, I'll stab you in the back."

When it comes to that little grass that's forced to stop operating due to anti-addiction measures, it's just, "Sorry, I still need to learn what you're saying."

Morax, the Geo Archon, might react as: "Kid, I admire you."

After all, a beef offal vendor did just that and received a meaningful smile in return.

However, considering that I've been in Liyue Harbor for so long, I still haven't seen Keqing.

I remember she came from a prestigious family and spent her days loitering around the docks, so it's probably normal that I don't see her.

Uncle Tian held his teacup and saw Xu Ning remain silent for a long time. He thought that this question might be a bit too early for him.

Uncle Tian sighed, put down his teacup, and said, "You didn't just answer this question off the top of your head; that alone puts you ahead of most Liyue people."

Xu Ning was suddenly pulled out of his thoughts about Ke Qing when he heard Uncle Tian speak. He scratched his head apologetically and said with a smile, "I'm really sorry, Uncle Tian. I suddenly thought of a little sister I've never met before and got lost in thought. I couldn't answer your question right away."

Uncle Tian's hand trembled slightly, and he almost flipped the teacup he had just placed on the table, lid and all, onto Xu Ning's face.

I'm asking you such a serious question here, and you're thinking about some little sister over there.

We've never met before? By the way, how many sisters do you actually have?

Xu Ning could also see that Uncle Tian was a little displeased, so he smiled awkwardly and quickly said in a serious tone.

"The Geo Archon has protected Liyue for nearly a thousand years, and everyone in Liyue has benefited from his grace. Such great achievements should naturally be passed down from generation to generation."

"However, the prosperity of Liyue over the past thousand years is not only due to the protection and guidance of the Geo Archon, but also inseparable from the hard work of the people of Liyue."

"Or you could say that Liyue was preserved because of the Emperor, but Liyue truly prospered because of us, the people of Liyue."

After Xu Ning said these words, and seeing Uncle Tian nod silently, he knew that the Seven Stars had probably already begun to think about the future of Liyue.

Seeing this, Xu Ning thought he should strike while the iron was hot and spoke again.

"Therefore, if we have the strength to protect Liyue as it is today, and can formulate policies that will ensure Liyue's long-term prosperity, then it's not impossible for His Majesty to take a break for a hundred or two hundred years!"

"That's why I chose Ningguang to manage my business. In my opinion, she's the only person who can do both of these things. You can consider it!"

After Xu Ning finished speaking, he raised his wine gourd and took a big gulp, but he was secretly glancing at Uncle Tian's expression out of the corner of his eye.

When Uncle Tian heard Xu Ning mention Ning Guang, an unfathomable light flickered in his eyes, and then he suddenly laughed.

"She can only do one thing!"

Xu Ning looked at Uncle Tian with a puzzled expression.

Uncle Tian repeated, "In my opinion, she can only do the second point, which I can see from her business acumen."

"She recently invested huge sums of Mora in various industries in Liyue Harbor, and not a single one has been a loss."

Uncle Tian smiled, blew on his teacup, and took a sip of fragrant tea. "Perhaps many people say that her credit sales and subsidies to small businesses were her only failed investment, but I know that this was actually the one that made her the most money."

"I can even make a promise to you here: she will definitely have a place in the Seven Stars in the future."

Xu Ning listened to Uncle Tian's words and laughed heartily; this was exactly the sentence he wanted to hear most.

However, Xu Ning did not believe that Tian Shu said Ningguang could only make Liyue prosperous, but could not protect Liyue.

That's because Uncle Tian hasn't yet witnessed Ningguang's extravagant spending of billions.

However, at this moment, Uncle Tian leaned forward slightly, signaling Xu Ning to come closer.

Then Uncle Tian whispered in Xu Ning's ear, "I'm asking you, do you want Ningguang to stay in that position sooner, higher, more stable, and for longer?"

Xu Ning was shocked. "Uncle Tian, ​​are you trying to make some kind of shady deal with me?"

But I really like this one!

"Please tell me what you need!"

Uncle Tian nodded in satisfaction. Sure enough, this kid would do anything for those little girls.

"Although the Seven Stars position is supposed to be selected through recommendation, we still need to assess it privately. My old friend is already considering retirement, but we haven't discovered any particularly outstanding talents yet, which is why I specifically asked him to stay for a few more years."

“Gathering Light’s reputation has been rapidly established at the lower levels; what she lacks is the support from above and the military.”

"Come to the Thousand Rock Army's camp tomorrow. We have a group of kids around your age. Help us train them."

"If you teach well, I guarantee that the military and those prestigious families will be grateful to you. You know how beneficial this will be for Ningguang."

You want me to teach a bunch of little brats?

Xu Ning never expected that Uncle Tian would be waiting for him here in the end.

"Who are they...?"

When Uncle Tian saw him asking, he smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about their identities. I'm not afraid to tell you that some of them do come from extraordinary backgrounds, but most of them are children from poor families, and some are orphans of the army. Just treat them all the same."

Xu Ning pondered for a moment, "Why me? The Thousand Rock Army has evolved from the Thousand Rock Regiment for a thousand years, so it naturally has its own methods for training soldiers. Moreover, there are probably many talented people in the Thousand Rock Army. Why choose someone like me who came from an unorthodox background?"

Uncle Tian snorted, "Unorthodox? Look at Beidou, the one you taught. Last time, she cut a mast with one sword, deterring the villains. She's almost become a legend in Liyue Harbor. Even in the Thousand Rock Army, no one dares to say they can take a sword from that girl head-on."

Xu Ning smiled wryly, "So you're all comparing yourselves to BeiDou?"

I'm not afraid to be frank, but I wouldn't dare say that I can go head-to-head with Beidou Jijian right now. Is her progress due to my efforts?

This is the little girl's innate superhuman strength!

I just have a keen eye for people!

Uncle Tian shook his head when he saw Xu Ning's expression. "Besides, you don't need to belittle yourself. The Thousand Rock Army has been stationed in Liyue for a long time. Although they have a lot of experience in training troops, they also have a lot of accumulated problems. It's time for them to have something new to stimulate them."

Xu Ning finally understood what Uncle Tian meant and said with a smile, "You want me, this wild Crimson Demon King, to go in and add some vitality to the Thousand Rock Army, right? Uncle Tian, ​​you really are a master at fish farming, no wonder you come from a fishing background!"

Uncle Tian laughed heartily, "So you know about fishkeeping too, kid. We can exchange ideas sometime. So you agree? I'll send someone to Ningguang's place to pick you up tomorrow."

Xu Ning nodded in agreement. Uncle Tian finished the remaining tea in his cup in one gulp, then left with a smile and his hands behind his back.

The next morning, Xu Ning still hadn't seen Ningguang and Beidou, but the people who came to pick him up did arrive.

"Hello, I'm here to take you to the Qianyan Army's garrison."

Xu Ning was taken aback. "Wife... no, I should call you Miss Gan Yu. Thank you for your help."
