Landed Xumi: There is no problem with my numbers!

The most peculiar thing was that after swallowing the food, she clearly felt a warm current rising from her abdomen, and even the fatigue caused by staying up late and working overtime for a long time was dispelled a lot.

Where on earth did this ingredient come from? How could it be so much more effective than some of the best tonics? Was the food at Bubulu so good?

He found that the various rare ingredients that he could only obtain because of his Seven Star status were not as good as the daily meals in this medicine house.

At this moment, Keqing began to doubt herself, wondering if she lacked common sense because she had not personally gone out to experience life among the people recently.

Because the people in the Bubu House don't have the habit of chatting for a long time during meals, except for some family matters.

So this unique dinner ended at a relatively fast speed with Keqing looking a little embarrassed.

Having a clear understanding of the quality of her own food, the other people at the table didn't actually think there was anything wrong with Keqing's performance.

——After all, if you don’t think this kind of food is delicious, it would be really strange, right?

After the meal was over, Keqing, who couldn't help but eat a lot because the food was so delicious, felt a little embarrassed as she helped Agui and Baizhu clean up the dishes on the table.

After finishing all the chores, she had almost forgotten the purpose of coming here, and then she saw three people who came in a group to find her.

He saw the Xumi scholar who was his target, the young man with golden eyes who was in charge of cooking, and a young man in green dressed as a bard coming in front of him together.

Lin Feng, who was standing at the front, noticed the purple-haired girl in front of him, whose mental state had obviously improved a lot, and smiled and said:

"Ms. Keqing said when she came here that she wanted to get answers to some questions here."

"——It just so happens that these two friends of mine are both knowledgeable in various fields. I wonder if they can sit in on the lecture together?"

"."

Hearing the question from the young man in front of me,

As a Yuheng star, Keqing has seen many big scenes.

Looking at the interested eyes of the three young men in front of me, for some reason, I suddenly felt a sense of inexplicable nervousness as if I were participating in a year-end assessment.

Chapter 187 Lin Feng, who trusts gods more than humans

"It just so happens that these two friends of mine are both knowledgeable in their fields. I wonder if they can sit in on the lecture together?"

In the backyard of Bubu House, after Lin Feng's introduction, which was in some sense quite 'conservative',

Keqing couldn't help but focus her attention on the other two young men.

Because of the daily work needs,

While eating just now, she had already memorized everyone's names out of habit.

Apart from the guest official "Zhongli" of the Wangsheng Hall whom she had known before,

Keqing also learned that the bard from Mondstadt was named "Wendy".

What surprised her the most was that, unlike Bai Shu who was very respectful to the Xumi scholar Feng,

In her opinion, these three young people were actually communicating in a relatively equal capacity.

And considering the possible hidden identity of the Xumi scholar

Keqing, who originally thought that this was just an ordinary meeting, actually felt the pressure she felt when facing her teacher in school.

But thinking of the doubt that had troubled her for a long time, she finally responded:

"It's impossible."

"In fact, I'd be happy to see someone interested in my topic and offering some insights."

"——It's just that my topic may be a bit 'outrageous' to many people, and it's not easy to accept from a common point of view."

Having said this, Shi Keqing paused and subconsciously glanced at the young man with golden eyes standing in front of her right.

——It’s not that she hasn’t heard of this gentleman from “Wangsheng Hall”.

In fact, when she first took office, Keqing had already dealt with Mr. Zhongli without his knowledge.

At that time, she had just taken over Qixing, and because there was too much work, she planned to follow the usual practice and recruit some talents from the public to help with the work.

Mr. Zhongli, a guest official of the well-known "Wangsheng Hall" among the people, immediately caught her attention because of his talent.

Unfortunately, after a thorough investigation,

She finally gave up on recruiting this talented person to work for her.

——Just because this gentleman is as knowledgeable and talented as the rumors say, and is admirable,

But his way of thinking is still too much like the Emperor's.

Although he is very young, his views on various things are the same as those of the old teachers in the school.

While it places great emphasis on "tradition", it also exudes an inexplicable sense of decadence.

Therefore, in the following conversation, Keqing was very worried that the other party would not be able to accept her point of view.

When Zhongli saw the little girl in front of him looking at him, she seemed to be a little hesitant in her words.

After just a moment, he knew what the other party was worried about. Shaking his head, Zhongli pointed at himself and Wendy next to him and said:

".Miss Keqing, don't worry. Since we have already said that we are only here to listen, we will naturally not say much."

After a brief pause, he used his eyes to warn the bards who were eager to try, and then he continued:

"——The protagonist of today has been you and my friend since the beginning."

"You two are both rare young talents. Your communication with each other is very inspiring to ordinary people like me."

"——However, if Miss Keqing feels it is difficult to speak up, then my friend and I can leave first."

"."

Keqing was silent for a moment, then as if she had made up her mind, she raised her head, looked at the people in front of her, and said with a firm face:

"No need to worry, Mr. Zhongli, there is nothing to worry about."

"——If an idea cannot withstand the scrutiny of others, then it has no reason to exist in the first place.

Such an idea will not stand the test of time and will only be worthless fantasy. "

"I am very happy that you two are willing to listen to this conversation - to have someone evaluate my views from a different perspective.

Whether I agree or disagree, this was something I had always wanted but could not get.”

Maybe it was the first time that I expressed my thoughts openly in front of others.

This Yuhengxing, who was often known for his swift and decisive actions in the past, suddenly remembered something and showed a bit of the momentum of "burning the boats and crossing the river".

".This is really rare. Such determination and momentum are rarely seen in normal days."

"——I just don't know why Miss Yuhengxing would put aside her official duties and come to Bubulu to see me in person.

What exactly do you want to discuss by making such an unusual arrangement? "

Thinking of his official status and the two old men watching the fun beside him,

Lin Feng asked the question knowingly while trying to maintain his own personality as much as possible.

"I have a question for you this time. You can just call me Keqing."

The purple-haired girl shook her head, indicating that the other party didn't need to care about his superficial identity.

After a slight pause, she said:

"——There are actually only two things I want to ask."

"First, I hope you can explain to me your attitude towards such a transcendent existence as 'God'."

"Second, I hope you can answer me your opinion on the possibility of human beings governing a country on their own."

"——Your Excellency feels that this prosperity is entirely brought about by the gods and has nothing to do with human beings.

Is it really a good thing for the people of this land to indulge in it without thinking?"

"."

Under the watchful eyes of the "pure passerby" Zhongli and the "fun guy" Venti,

This purple-haired girl, with an attitude that could be described as "fearless," voiced her doubts in this country that had walked with God for more than 3,700 years.

Apart from the Emperor who can only be seen from afar during the Immortal Invitation Ceremony, and those immortals who have not communicated with the Seven Stars for hundreds of years,

The young man in front of her is the closest thing to "God" that Keqing can find.

Whether judging from the power the other party had shown or various clues, there was a high probability that the other party had personally come into contact with the two gods of Xumi.

Their own status, coupled with the special perspective of foreign visitors,

Keqing felt that the other party's opinion was absolutely valuable to her at the moment.

"."

Even though I had anticipated what kind of questions this Yuheng Star would ask,

But Lin Feng glanced at Emperor and Wendy beside him, and remained silent for a moment because of her stubbornness.

——In front of the three gods, questioning whether the existence of gods is good or bad, girl, even if you change your worldview, you will most likely not be able to walk out of this door.

Throwing out irrelevant thoughts from his mind, Lin Feng thought for a moment and said:

". Considering that this is just a 'discussion', I will not ask about the motivation behind your question, Ms. Keqing."

"——Since you think my opinion is of reference value, I will just tell you my personal opinion."

He paused and said:

"Your first question is about my attitude towards 'God'"

Recalling what I personally experienced after arriving in Teyvat, the difference between the species of gods and humans,

Lin Feng didn't hesitate too much and gave his answer directly:

".Although, in my opinion, using a general term like 'god' to represent an individual is actually not very objective."

"——But in general, for me, beings like gods are, in most cases, more reliable and trustworthy than humans."

"."

Noticing that the purple-haired girl in front of him seemed to have something to refute,

Lin Feng did not intend to have a debate with her, but directly said:

"I know this answer may be a little hard to understand, but as a pure pragmatist, I prefer to use facts to prove my own statement rather than some empty truths."

"——And this fact is actually the word 'interest'."

At this point, the young man pointed to the luxurious buildings on Yujing Terrace in the distance and asked Keqing in front of him:

"As the 'Yuheng Star' in charge of land construction, Miss Keqing should have some knowledge of who lives in that area, right?"

"——If my previous observation is correct, apart from a small number of properties belonging to merchants,

Most of them should have been bought by the senior managers of Seven Stars and Liyue."

". That's true.

——But even if it is the Seven Stars, these properties were purchased through formal channels and there is nothing illegal about them. Is there any deep meaning behind your mentioning them?"

Although she knew that about half of these properties belonged to the Seven Stars and the Chamber of Commerce behind them, Keqing did not immediately understand what Lin Feng meant.

".There is no deep meaning. As the administrators of Liyue, the Seven Stars deserve to gain wealth and status in addition to their own contributions. This is in line with the fair principle of the 'contract'."

Lin Feng looked at the exquisite dress Keqing was wearing in front of him, paused, and continued:

"Individual interests and national interests do not necessarily conflict with each other. So, even though I would not adopt such a system, I can understand Liyue's current choice."

Although Lin Feng found it difficult to accept this outrageous system that combined politics and business and involved family affiliations, he still expressed his respect.

"——But even the Seven Stars can gain their own interests in governing the country. Then, Miss Keqing, do you know what benefits the Emperor has gained from governing Liyue?"

"If there is any record of the Emperor asking for something from the people of Liyue, then Miss Keqing can bring it up directly."

"."

“The benefits of governing Liyue”

"Emperor, what did you ask for?"

After hearing the other party's question, Keqing was about to answer immediately, but found herself stuck.

——The people of Liyue have become accustomed to the Emperor’s guidance.
