Chapter 892 What Does the World Mean?
Navelette asked calmly, "I don't want your servants."
"Xu Ning's wine gourd seems to have been connected to this space lately, and it can no longer conceal the aura remaining inside. I'm sure you've sensed it too..."
Funina looked at Vilette and nodded hesitantly.
"Could we try to communicate with 'He' and ask what Xu Ning is doing that makes such a fuss?"
"I'll give it a try. Uh..."
Navelette watched as Funina's expression grew increasingly strange.
"What's wrong? Did something happen to Fucarus?"
Funina said incredulously, "He said He's very busy lately and it's best not to bother Him. He needs to get things done before some guy who's good at having children arrives, so that his children can have an advantage in the future competition for the crown prince position..."
Navelette thought about it seriously, "The struggle for the crown prince position has always been like this. But who is he planning to have a child with? Is it that Xu Ning?"
"No matter who it is, something's not right here. I can't tell which is more important, this letter or what He said. Let's forget about everything and get there quickly."
……
As the letters received from various places were opened, it became clear that, apart from the high-ranking officials of Zhidong who seemed to have other plans, the high-ranking officials of other countries began to head towards Liyue one after another.
However, despite taking a long detour, he was the first person to enter Liyue.
"It was normal when I came here before, how come it's become so dark now?"
"Ouch, I bumped my head on the roof!"
"Paimon, don't fly around recklessly. Ayaka, you should go into the Dust Song Pot first. Something's definitely not right here!"
After the group squeezed out of the small house, a battle broke out.
When Baiwen entered the study of Qunyu Pavilion, Xu Ning almost immediately guessed what message she had come to deliver.
"Has my buddy Kong arrived yet?"
Baiwen nodded. "Yes, he appeared at the teleportation anchor point of the Guili Yuan base as we arranged. However, thanks to the help of several people with the Eye of God who were traveling with him, he still managed to escape. We were unable to capture him directly."
Xu Ning laughed and said, "I never intended to confront him head-on, but I couldn't resist Lord Tianquan's insistence on testing the Qianyan Army's strength. If he wants to question me, let him come to Qunyu Pavilion to question me. Even if we really can't reach an agreement, we can ambush him here, tie him up, and throw him down. How convenient..."
Just as they were getting into the conversation, Xu Ning felt the gourd in his hand suddenly vibrate. He figured that Ying inside was very dissatisfied and had Qingyi send him a signal.
"Alright, alright, pass down the order: Qunyu Pavilion welcomes Kong's arrival, and there should be no further deliberate obstruction. Have any of our soldiers been injured or killed?"
Bai Wen shook his head slightly, "There were no casualties. The enemy was very restrained. Moreover, one of the priestesses even used a water-based healing ability on the Thousand Rock Army before leaving."
This message surprised Xu Ning.
It seems that Brother Kong guessed what he was going to do and brought his two beloved women with him beforehand. Tsk tsk, I wonder if he'll go to the trouble of bringing his brother-in-law along too. I'll ask him when he arrives.
The news spread very quickly, and Kong rushed to Yujingtai the very next day at noon after receiving the message.
Xu Ning had already arranged for a dining table to be set up at the viewing area of Qunyu Pavilion to entertain the friends who had "come from afar".
They came from afar in the truest sense.
He stepped forward and launched into a barrage of questions.
"Big brother, what are you doing? Why can't we sense any of the teleportation anchors in Liyue? If Dain hadn't been with me, I would have been adrift at sea for at least half a month before I could get back, and I would have had to travel a long way... And when did you hide a teleportation anchor in Guili Plains? It's such a small house..."
Paimon, standing to the side, shook his little fist, "...and made me bump my head several times!"
"Calm down, calm down, sit down and talk slowly. This must be the first time Miss Kamisato and Miss Coral Palace have come to Liyue. It's our fault for not being able to let you enjoy the beautiful scenery of Liyue in peace. We have prepared a few cups of fruit wine as my apology to you two."
Xu Ning ignored his irritable younger brother and the white-haired boy, first inviting his two beautiful sisters-in-law to sit down, and then pouring them two glasses of wine in turn.
Seeing that the wine's expression changed, Kong quickly spoke up to stop it.
"No... Brother Xu's liquor can't be touched anymore. Brother, I've been wondering for a long time why you, who already have so much Mora, are still so dedicated to expanding your liquor business. Now that I think about it, Brother, you've wanted to destroy Teyvat a long time ago with liquor that can dissolve people, haven't you?"
Seeing that none of them were drinking, Xu Ning leaned back in his chair and took a sip of wine from the gourd.
"You finally asked this question. Actually, you wanted to ask me this back in Fontaine, didn't you? Well, after all, you've traveled to many countries, always adhering to the principles of making friends and helping others. You like the people here, you hope the world can become a better place, and you've even put yourself in danger many times for the sake of the world..."
"So, before you want me to answer your question, Sora, answer me honestly about one thing: what does this world really mean to you?"
Kong seemed to have never really thought about this question before, and was momentarily stumped by Xu Ning's question.
Xu Ning had actually anticipated this. "Is this question too broad and vague? Let me break it down for you."
"You and Ying have traveled through the starry sky. Is Teyvat just a stop on your long journey? Are even these two beautiful ladies at the table two harbors where you will stop in your long life? Will you one day leave Teyvat behind, never to look at it again, and resolutely embark on the next wonderful journey?"
"me……"
"If your answer is yes, then the fate of this world has little to do with you. We can face our own destiny, and you have no reason to interfere with the path we have chosen."
"Of course, if your answer is no, are you prepared to make this world your permanent home and to pay any price for its preservation and beauty, even including your own life?"
A few beads of cold sweat had already formed on Kong's forehead. "I... I still can't be sure of my own feelings, but I still can't just stand by and watch you destroy this world. That's wrong..."
"Putting aside right and wrong, let me ask you another question. When you first came to Liyue a long time ago, did our Geo Archon tell you what the meaning of the journey was?"
