"Just go, it's no big deal. In the prison of Yujingtai, is it possible for him to do anything radical?"

"In my opinion, he is just not convinced and wants to scold me again. For such an insignificant breach of defense, I don't mind having some sympathy for him."

Ye Luo looked very confident, but Hu Tao still advised: "You must be on guard. It's better to be careful about everything."

Keqing consoled him, "It's okay. I'll be with you and will definitely ensure Young Master Ye Luo's safety. Don't worry, everyone."

An hour later, Ye Luo followed Keqing to "Yujingtai". It had been nearly a month since he came to Liyue Harbor, and this was Ye Luo's first time there.

The road is full of colorful flowers and glazed lilies. The roads are complicated and interconnected. The rockery and artificial lakes are dotted with rocks and peaks.

The two passed by the "Yuehai Pavilion". Along the way, there were countless people running around busy. They were busy all the time, but when they passed by Keqing, they did not forget to say hello.

"Yuehai Pavilion..." Ye Luo stroked his chin: "Ganyu should be here..."

"Do you still know Miss Ganyu?"

Ye Luo muttered quietly, but unexpectedly Keqing heard it, so she quickly said, "I have heard of it, but I have never seen it."

Keqing replied, "Ms. Ganyu is busy with work every day and has no free time. She must be working overtime somewhere right now. If there is a chance, I might be able to introduce you to each other."

While the two were chatting and laughing, a little girl rushed into their sight recklessly, failed to stop her car at the bend, and bumped into them.

Keqing was nearly knocked to the ground. Ye Luo quickly put his arm around Keqing's waist and pulled her back.

But the little girl was not so lucky. She fell to the ground, her arms and legs were scratched, her face was flushed red, and tears were welling up in her eyes.

Ye Luo and Keqing helped him up, and Keqing recognized him: "Yuqing, why are you so reckless today? What happened?"

"Lady Keqing... We just received a tip that the fleet we sent out a few days ago encountered pirates at sea. They confronted each other at sea for three days and are now trapped on an isolated island."

Keqing suddenly became excited, and her emotions were no longer as stable as before: "What! Hasn't the fleet we sent out been gone for half a month? How come we are only receiving such news now?"

Yu Qing sobbed and wiped her tears: "Because the location is too remote, there are pirates around, and the enemy's firepower is very strong, they can't make it out no matter what. The Qianyan Army brothers who finally came out with this news are covered in wounds and are now dying."

Keqing barely stood up with Ye Luo's support and asked word by word, "Does Ningguang know about this?"

"Someone has already informed the other masters of the Seven Stars. I was originally planning to return to Yujing Terrace to find you..."

Seeing Keqing in this state and Yuqing crying, Ye Luo asked, "Excuse me, what is this fleet doing? You guys look very excited..."

Keqing explained, "This fleet is transporting jade mined from the Layered Abyss. The jade crafts made from them are rare, and countless craftsmen have put in countless efforts and spent a lot of time to create them. They are intended to be exported from Liyue to other countries."

"If something goes wrong with this fleet, the workers won't get any benefit for their hard work. They look forward to making money at the end of the year, and then they will lose hope. How will they survive in the next year?"

"The Qianyan Army and secretaries on the fleet are all my direct subordinates. Their lives are in danger now, and I can't just ignore them! They all have relatives and friends. They are other people's spouses, parents, children, brothers and sisters... I will never allow anyone to hurt them!"

"Moreover, if the merchants who place orders from various countries cannot receive the goods we send out, wouldn't Liyue, as a country of 'contract', become a laughing stock? People will ask us, where is our credibility, where is the contract?"

"besides……"

"The captain of this fleet, Pang Zuo, and our Yuqing, are childhood sweethearts. They grew up together. They were both poor children without a father or a mother. Although they are not biological siblings, they depend on each other for survival. When they grew up, they entered the Yujingtai together and served under me..."

Ye Luo immediately understood why the girl in front of him was crying so sadly and didn't care about her image at all.

Ye Luo himself is an orphan who grew up in an orphanage. He can best understand the feelings of these people.

But at least Pang Zuo and Yu Qing grew up relying on each other and were not so lonely. If they lost each other, it would be like losing the whole world for them.

"Young Master Ye Luo... I'm sorry, I may not be able to accompany you to see Zhu Fu. Just ask for directions to the prison and tell them your name, and someone will take you there."

"I have to go meet the Qianyan Army brothers who brought back the intelligence, and then lead the troops to rescue them!"

Keqing pulled away and walked away, Ye Luo raised his hand and held her...

Keqing turned back slowly, her eyes were already tearful and red.

Ye Luo said gently: "I will go with you, take me with you, I will definitely be able to help."

"It's too dangerous, let's just forget it. Although you have solved two major cases, the pirates at sea are much more terrifying than those people..."

"Every man has his share of responsibility for the fate of his country! Liyue cannot be protected by you alone forever, just like you once said that Liyue cannot be protected by the Geo King alone."

Looking at Ye Luo's determined eyes, Keqing was actually a little at a loss: "There is no need for you to wade into this muddy water. You know very well that there are dangers everywhere."

"You may think that I am being unreasonable, but I only have one thing to say..."

After saying that, Ye Luo looked at Yu Qing beside him and said softly: "I am also an orphan who grew up alone without a father or a mother, but I am not as lucky as you and Pang Zuo, who have someone to rely on..."

"I understand what is the most precious thing in this world, and people who are alone know how to cherish it much more than those who have experienced happiness early on..."

Yu Qing's body was trembling, her lips were pursed, and she stared at Ye Luo with eyes full of tears. At that moment, in her eyes, Ye Luo was not the great young man as rumored, but just a kind-hearted person who could fully understand her feelings and had the same miserable life.

"Okay... I'll be at the gate of Yujingtai. When you meet Zhu Fu and finish talking about your affairs, come find me there."
