Genshin Impact: A Mortal's Ascension to Godhood

After drinking and eating with his two companions, Li Tao sent Xingqiu and Chongyun back home, and returned to the house he bought in Liyue and lay down on the bed to rest.

However, he couldn't sleep, as he was always thinking about the so-called [Seven Star Election Conference].

Li Tao sat up from the bed, sat on the edge of the bed for a moment, and cast his eyes on the calendar hanging on the head of the bed.

Speaking of which, it has been almost a year since I came to Liyue.

The Seven Stars Election Meeting, also known as the Seven Stars Election Meeting, will be held at the end of this year. After the Seven Stars are elected, everyone can celebrate the New Year happily.

However, the schedule of the Seven Stars should not have changed, right?

Li Tao thought that when the traveler arrived in Liyue, the Seven Stars were still the same Seven Stars, so he stopped thinking about it and instead started to care about his predecessor's Seven Stars.

Before Ningguang became a Tianquan star and Keqing became a Yuheng star, there should have been other people in Liyue who took on these positions, right? What was Liyue like at that time?

Li Tao carefully recalled the books collected in Wanwen Collection, and there seemed to be no books on Liyue’s political history.

"Oh, yes. Someone from the General Affairs Department seemed to have told me that the personnel transfers of the Seven Stars and Eight Sects of Liyue seem to be classified as confidential files—"

In other words, it is a slide that cannot be touched at all.

Uh......

"Why do people in Liyue always insist on some insignificant things in some strange places?" Li Tao couldn't help but complain.

However, he also knew that sometimes the higher-ups would issue some strange regulations simply because someone had actually done so in real life.

The reason why they don't make the list of all the past Liyue Seven Stars available to the public is perhaps because they are afraid that someone will use the list to seek revenge on their relatives or descendants?

"Alas, why am I thinking about this? I'm not going to be one of the Seven Stars of Liyue. I just want to watch the Seven Stars Selection Meeting for fun."

After figuring it out, Li Tao felt refreshed. He curled up in bed, turned over and fell asleep.

.......

But sometimes, it was not Li Tao who took the initiative to cause trouble, but the trouble just came to him on its own.

The next morning, Li Tao was awakened by a knock on the door.

"Haha——I wanted to sleep until noon, who is knocking on the door so early......"

Li Tao rubbed his eyes and opened the door, only to see the postman from the post station stuffing a letter into his mailbox.

The postman saw Li Tao was awake, and happily pulled out the half-stuffed letter and put it in Li Tao's hand: "Adventurer, you're awake. I thought you were still asleep so early, so I knocked twice symbolically and prepared to put the letter in the mailbox."

"But since you're awake, I'll just deliver this letter to you...please sign for it."

Li Tao wrote down his name in confusion and watched the postman run away with his big bag.

Who would write to me? It can't be Xingqiu or Chongyun, right? If they want to see me, they don't need to write a letter, they can just come to my door.

Could it be that Xiangling has something to ask me again? I see that she has been busy at Wanmin Hall recently and hasn't participated in any activities?

Could it be that Master Zhongli wanted to check on the progress of my mission and wrote me a letter asking me to report to him? This is more likely.

Li Tao felt the cool breeze in the early morning, and his mind gradually became clear.

He leaned against the wall outside the house, tore open the envelope, and took out the letter inside -

"Ah? Such high-quality stationery..."

As soon as he took out the letter paper, Li Tao felt something was wrong. The quality of the letter paper was a little too high-end, and it didn't seem like something Zhongli would use. It was true that the old man had no concept of money, but he usually wouldn't deliberately buy such high-end letter paper. Li Tao took a closer look and found that the four corners of the letter paper were sprinkled with gold powder, which gave off a pleasant aroma.

I looked at the content again and found out that it was Lord Tianquan Ningguang, one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, who summoned me.

Li Tao’s brain froze for a moment: No, who?

Taking another look, the letter still said "Ningguang has something to ask him to go to Qun Yu Pavilion for a while."

This surprised Li Tao. Why did Ningguang suddenly want to meet him?

The next moment, Li Tao gave up thinking about the answer to this question: It’s impossible to guess, it’s impossible to guess at all.

Instead of racking his brains to figure out what the other party needs him to do, it is better to improvise when the time comes - it is impossible that there are eight hundred swordsmen and axemen in the Qun Yu Pavilion, and when Li Tao gets there, they will use cups as a signal and rush over and chop him into a pulp, right?

No!

"No, no, no, let's think about what happened in Liyue recently that required Lord Tianquanxing to specially summon an ordinary person like me." Li Tao quickly got his brain working again, and soon, he discovered a problem based on what he had seen and heard in recent days.

Ningguang wants to see me, could it be related to the [Seven Stars Selection Meeting] at the end of the year?

"After all, if you think about it carefully, the only major event in Liyue recently seems to be the selection meeting. Although the disappearance of Xingqiu and Chongyun once had a great impact, it has now been concluded, and Liyue and Zhidong have already conducted relevant negotiations..."

"Why don't we go to the Adventurer's Guild and ask for some information?"

Li Tao made such a decision.

......

"You said you received a letter from Qixing, inviting you to come over for a chat?" Sister Lan was standing next to the Adventurer's Association's notice board. After hearing what Li Tao said, she smiled and said, "Li Tao, you are very lucky. That person is recruiting you to be elected as the [Political Advisor] during the group meeting."

"Political advisor?" Li Tao pointed at himself with a confused look on his face. "Me? Please, Sister Lan, do you think I'm the kind of person who can get involved in political affairs?"

Sister Lan replied lazily: "You don't have to be someone who can participate in political affairs to become a [political consultant]. Maybe they just need you to provide some knowledge in a certain area."

"Li Tao, are you so sure that your knowledge in certain areas is useless to that adult?"

Li Tao was confused. What do I have that Ningguang would value? Can this thing be useful during the Seven Star Selection Meeting? Why didn't I know I had these things?

Seeing Li Tao's clear stupidity, Sister Lan couldn't help but push him: "Li Tao, if you don't understand the situation, I suggest you ask someone."

"Who?"

"Lawyer Yan Fei is an expert in Liyue law. It is said that she was the primary consultant to Lady Ningguang when she was formulating Liyue laws. She also served as Lady Ningguang's [Political Advisor] during the last Seven Star Selection Meeting. Go find her, she should have relevant experience..."

.......

On the same day, at some time, Yan Fei Law Consulting Office.

Li Tao explained to Yan Fei that he had received the letter from Ningguang.

"Hey, adventurer, have you also received a letter from Lady Ningguang? That means that for the next period of time, you and I will be in the same business. Please give me your guidance!"

Yan Fei happily extended her hand, but Li Tao frowned helplessly and asked: "Wait, Miss Yan Fei, I still don't understand what this letter means..."

Yan Fei thought for a moment and explained, "Well, it means literally. Have you heard of [Political Consultant]? Last time, Lady Ningguang also approached me about this and asked me to provide her with some legal advice."

"When the time comes, just answer whatever Lady Ningguang asks. It's very simple."

Seeing Lawyer Yan Fei's confident look, Li Tao always felt that he was in trouble again...
