Heaven help us.
For Keqing, this Geo Archon fan, to say such words was enough to show Jiang Xuan's status in her heart.
However, Ningguang had always been rather indifferent to power.
Keqing naturally saw this. Fearing that Ningguang might have other ideas that would drag down Liyue, she earnestly reminded her:
"Ningguang, absolutely do not harbor any improper thoughts. If something goes wrong, not even the Geo Archon can save you."
"Don't think I'm joking when I say Jiang Xuan is very strong..."
"You haven't experienced his power. Yes, pure power, not relying on elemental energy..."
"You all heard the tremor from Mount Tianheng last night, didn't you?"
Hearing this, Ningguang and the others nodded slightly.
Keqing took a deep breath and said softly:
"When Jiang Xuan was clearing out the monsters... he almost broke Mount Tianheng with one punch."
"Finally, he diverted the force of his punch, blowing out an endless void in the sky..."
Saying this, Keqing pointed towards the sea.
The sky, which should have been shrouded in clouds and mist, now had a large, eerie clear channel in the middle.
It stretched as far as the eye could see.
Ningguang and the others originally thought this was some natural phenomenon.
They hadn't expected...
It was created by a single punch from one person?!
This...
Ningguang's heart sank.
She understood Keqing's words.
Pure power. Even the Geo Archon might be pounded flat by Jiang Xuan.
"Because of last night's tremor, I went to find Jiang Xuan."
Keqing's eyes flashed with a hint of shock.
"I asked him, how strong his power really was."
"Jiang Xuan told me... theoretically, his power has no upper limit. If a limit absolutely had to be set..."
"Jiang Xuan can smash the entire Teyvat with one punch."
"So, Ningguang, absolutely do not think improper thoughts. Jiang Xuan is my friend, Ganyu's friend, and he should also be Liyue's friend."
"And he will always be Liyue's friend!"
"Ningguang, make a decision quickly. Jiang Xuan is waiting for us to go back and build the base together."
With that, Keqing said no more, turned, and sat back in her chair, drinking tea in large gulps.
After all that talking, Keqing was parched.
After all, just the charcoal and wood, and that strange block world, were enough to talk about for a long time.
Ningguang remained silent, staring intently at the torch before her.
She reached out to pick it up, but after several attempts, she still found it very heavy, so she simply gave up.
This small torch weighed at least one hundred seventy to one hundred eighty kilograms.
And that wasn't the main point...
Ningguang tried it: she placed paper on the torch, but the paper wouldn't ignite.
The torch kept burning without any consumption.
Even though Teyvat didn't have formal physics yet, Ningguang felt this thing defied the laws of the world.
In fact, ever since she confirmed that Jiang Xuan had access to a world, Ningguang had decided to definitely cooperate.
But...
This matter was not so simple.
This was a collaboration concerning an entire world.
A collaboration risking the entire future of Liyue.
To be honest, she wasn't qualified to make this decision.
At the very least, the Geo Archon himself needed to consider it.
Ningguang's current thought was how to get closer to Jiang Xuan on a personal level.
A world, not only could make Liyue the strongest in Teyvat.
It could also easily multiply her personal assets.
Harvesting all the Mora in Teyvat into her Jade Chamber.
As long as she established a connection with Jiang Xuan, she was ninety-nine percent sure she could do it.
So, Ningguang, from the very beginning, hadn't thought of using any tricks.
How could someone as intelligent as her not understand such a thing?
Possessing the treasure of a world, if one didn't have means to protect oneself, who would dare to reveal it?
The cooperation between Liyue and Jiang Xuan was beyond her decision-making authority. The only thing she could do was wait for the Geo Archon's instructions.
She only wanted to establish a private cooperative relationship with Jiang Xuan.
Thinking of this, Ningguang felt a little regretful.
If she had known Jiang Xuan had such investment value, she would have gone and built a good relationship with him a year ago.
She felt somewhat envious of Keqing and Ganyu.
But she also felt a little regret for them.
With their relationship with Jiang Xuan, with a little business acumen, they could become wealthier than her.
However, these two really hadn't thought about this at all, completely focused on mining with Jiang Xuan...
There were too many magical things in that world.
To put it simply, Ningguang could even use those blocks to build a Liyue Harbor Sky Island in the sky.
The cost would certainly be less than building the Jade Chamber.
Thinking of this, Ningguang looked again at the pile of blocks stacked on the open ground before her.
Although very magical, still...
They were too uncoordinated!
Sighing, Ningguang said:
"Let's not talk about this for now. I already believe you. So, can you dismantle this block for me? It's an eyesore."
Hearing this, Keqing's expression instantly became a little strange.
Her gaze drifted, not daring to look directly at Ningguang.
Ningguang felt a bad premonition and said, suppressing her anger:
"Don't tell me, you only know how to place them, not how to dismantle them!"
Keqing pursed her lips and said in a low voice:
"I can dismantle them, but... I need tools..."
"What kind of tools do you need? I'll have someone get them!"
Ningguang looked at Keqing with a bit of a headache. This girl, she always felt she was unreliable now.
Keqing spread her hands, abandoning herself to fate:
"It won't work. I tried it. Teyvat's tools basically can't break these blocks at all. You have to use tools from that world."
Ningguang's vision went black. She looked at the chaotic scene on the field, full of strange rocks and old trees providing shade.
She felt her blood pressure rise.
"Then what should we do? Don't tell me we have to ask Jiang Xuan to help dismantle them!"
Ningguang rubbed her temples, almost unable to bear looking directly at her Jade Chamber.
It was completely messed up now.
But suddenly, a gentle male voice came from all around.
"If you don't mind, let me try."
Hearing this, everyone was startled and stood up in unison, looking at the newcomer.
"Geo Archon?!"
