Chapter 28
In Mondstadt, there is the Knights of Favonius who help the wind god Barbatos manage the affairs of the upper and lower levels. Naturally, there is also an organization in Liyue that helps the rock god manage the affairs.
That is Liyue's permanent deliberative committee, called the Liyue Seven Stars.
They are responsible for handling Liyue's political affairs, supervising and implementing the plans issued by the rock god.
And the girl who is walking towards Su Bai at this time is Yuheng Star, one of the seven stars of Liyue.
Her name is Keqing, and she is specifically responsible for the land construction of Liyue.
Since she is one of the seven stars of Liyue.
That also proves that her status in Liyue is very noble, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see her.
As for why she appeared here at this time, Su Bai was not very clear.
But what Su Bai knew was that
Keqing seemed to know Xiangling.
As for why a chef would have a good relationship with a senior official in charge of a country's land construction, Su Bai has never figured it out.
But if this chef is Xiangling, the unreasonable seems to become reasonable.
"It's not safe around here. Have you noticed anything unusual?"Just as he was thinking, Keqing's voice sounded again.
At this time, she had walked in front of Su Bai and Xiangling.
At this time, she did not pay attention to Su Bai, and her eyes were on Xiangling.
From her previous question, it is not difficult to guess that she appeared here now to investigate something.
Seeing her serious expression, Xiangling realized that things might not be simple.
So she answered very seriously:"I want to research some new dishes and come out to find inspiration. But I have been here for a long time and didn't see anything unusual around here."
"This is strange." Frowning, Keqing couldn't help but mutter,"It should be here."
"What's wrong……"
"God's Eye? Five? Different? ?"
Perhaps because she noticed Keqing's serious expression, Xiangling couldn't help but speak.
She wanted to ask if something happened nearby, but before she finished speaking, Keqing suddenly exclaimed with a surprised expression.
Seeing Keqing like this, Xiangling was curious.
God's Eye?
Five?
What does it mean?
Feeling a little strange, Xiangling followed Keqing's gaze.
It would have been better if she didn't look, but when she saw it, she was stunned.
Su Bai actually had five God's Eyes with different attributes hanging on his waist?!
Because she was concentrating on talking to Su Bai about fried rice before, she didn't notice that Su Bai actually had five God's Eyes on his waist, and they were of different attributes!
Xiangling was stunned and couldn't help asking:"How come you have five different God's Eyes on your body! ?"As soon as she finished speaking, Keqing beside her couldn't help muttering:"God... does he recognize you so much?"
Most people in Teyvat know that only those who are recognized by God can obtain the Eye of God.
So it's no wonder that Keqing asked such a question.
But when she asked this question, Su Bai didn't know how to answer for a while.
He couldn't say that the law of nature really recognizes me.
So he could only smile awkwardly and said,"Maybe."
Although it was quite surprising that there were five Eyes of God, Keqing was one of the Seven Stars of Liyue after all, and she was also knowledgeable.
So she quickly put away her surprise and looked at Su Bai carefully.
"You don't look like a Liyue person from your dress, where are you from?" After sizing him up for a long while, Keqing asked cautiously.
In fact, it was normal for Keqing to be cautious.
After all, Su Bai had five divine eyes of different attributes hanging on his waist. Anyone could tell at a glance that he must be very powerful. As one of the seven stars of Liyue, Keqing was from Yuheng Star. It made sense for her to ask a few questions when she found out that a very powerful person had come to her country.
Thinking of this, Su Bai responded very sincerely,"My name is Su Bai, and I'm a traveler."
""Traveler?" Keqing frowned and muttered.
From her expression, it seemed that she was judging the truthfulness of Su Bai's words.
This made Su Bai a little strange.
The young master already knew that he defeated the Wind Dragon in Mondstadt and was hailed as a Holy Light Knight. But Keqing, as one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, didn't know?!
Is it because the intelligence of the Kingdom of Winter is too powerful, or because Keqing has never cared about these things?
But it's strange.
Keqing is one of the Seven Stars of Liyue after all, and she has a pivotal position in Liyue.
Su Bai didn't want to offend her, nor did he want her to pay too much attention to himself.
So he half-jokingly said to Keqing:"Although I do have five divine eyes of different elements, I am here to travel and have not done anything strange. You don't have to look at me like that."
After he reminded her, Keqing realized that her reaction might be a bit excessive.
Retracting her gaze, Keqing said lightly:"Recently, some merchants have reported that foreign robbers have appeared near the trade route, causing great losses to the residents, and you happened to appear on the trade route, which is indeed a bit strange."
After she said this, Su Bai finally understood.
It turned out that Keqing came here to investigate the robbers.
This made Su Bai speechless, and he couldn't help asking:"You don't think I look like a robber, do you?!"
Keqing shook her head and said very seriously:"If it was an ordinary robber, there would be no need to make a big fuss, but now Liyue is preparing for the ceremony of inviting the immortals. As one of the seven stars of Liyue, I have to be on guard against such a thing."
Su Bai suddenly realized, smiled and asked:"So you suspect that I am a person sent by another country who wants to disrupt the ceremony of inviting the immortals, and I have ulterior motives. After all, I have five eyes of God on me, and I can see that I am powerful. Right?"
"Yes." Keqing didn't hide it and nodded directly:"As one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, I need to be responsible for the people of Liyue at all times. Please forgive me if I have offended you. However, due to the special circumstances now, I need to ensure the safety of your identity." As one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, what Keqing just said is not unreasonable.
After all, there have been foreigners in the downtown area of Liyue recently, and Su Bai is not only a foreigner but also happens to appear on the business road. This is indeed a bit of a coincidence. It seems normal for Keqing to be suspicious.
But it is really too much to say that he is a robber.
"I……"
""Keqing, you must have misunderstood. Su Bai is not a bad person! He has been with me just now, and he even taught me how to make fried rice."
Just when Su Bai wanted to prove his innocence by saying that he was a"Holy Light Knight", Xiangling beside him took the lead to explain for him.
Xiangling was very serious and did not seem to be lying.
In addition, Keqing knew Xiangling.
Because of this, Keqing believed Xiangling's words very much.
With Xiangling proving Su Bai's innocence, Keqing naturally believed it.
Perhaps she realized that she had misunderstood Su Bai.
Keqing's eyes were a little more apologetic.
She seemed to want to apologize, but Keqing's personality was too arrogant.
Keqing's tone changed as soon as she opened her mouth:"If that's the case, then you should not be the foreigner who has been causing trouble in Liyue recently. But you are in Shangdao here, and it is still too strange for a foreigner like you to appear here."
Although it can be heard from the tone that Keqing no longer doubts Su Bai, so her voice is very gentle.
But Keqing's words make people feel uncomfortable.
Although Su Bai knows that this is because Keqing is too arrogant, he does not blame her in his heart.
But Su Bai still said seriously:"It is not written here that it is a business road. Isn't it normal for me to travel around as a traveler? It is obvious that you have wrongly blamed others, but you are still blaming others. This does not seem to be the demeanor that the Seven Stars of Liyue should have."
