Chapter 470

With the guidance of Guizhong, Himeko and Noelle easily entered the school.

Noelle had been here before. She knew there was a school, but she wasn't very familiar with the specifics. She didn't know much about what went on inside. Fortunately, Guizhong knew the place well and was there to guide them.

After entering the school, Guizhong didn't rush to find Zhongli. Instead, she took the time to introduce the school to Himeko. There was a lot taught here—alchemy, divination, mechanics, and even martial arts. It was a comprehensive institution, without a doubt.

Himeko was amazed. Was this a school of magic and technology?

Alchemy wasn't too different from modern technology. Thinking about the things Takumi had mentioned, she could see how alchemy and mechanics had scientific elements to them. In particular, mechanization was closely tied to machinery.

As they walked, Himeko and Guizhong engaged in a conversation about their respective fields. Himeko, having a Ph.D. in Aerodynamics, was well-versed in mechanics and had also studied artificial life. She was practically a doctor in multiple disciplines.

Guizhong found Himeko's insights fascinating. Chatting with her, Guizhong gained a lot of new inspiration. She looked at Himeko eagerly.

"Himeko, would you like to join our agency workshop?" Guizhong asked. "I'm currently working on a project to launch something into the sky."

"Takumi already chose a name for it—Satellite."

"It will be used to detect weather changes in Liyue and more."

"If you join, we might be able to complete the project faster."

Guizhong looked at Himeko expectantly.

Himeko was taken aback. Launch a satellite?

After considering it for a moment, she didn't refuse.

"I have no problem with that," Himeko said. "Besides, Takumi also asked me to teach at this school. It works out well."

She thought it over carefully. There didn't seem to be any issues.

Working on a satellite? That sounded fun.

Seeing that Himeko agreed, Guizhong was thrilled. She continued leading Himeko and Noelle around the school.

Finally, they arrived at Zhongli's office.

Himeko observed the serious-looking man in front of her. She was slightly surprised.

"This is Zhongli, the consultant of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor," Guizhong introduced. "Didn't you say you joined Wangsheng Funeral Parlor? That makes him your senior."

"Zhongli, this is Himeko. Takumi recommended her to teach at the school. What do you think?"

Zhongli sighed inwardly. What did he think?

He could see her perfectly fine!

"Hello," Zhongli greeted.

However, he was surprised that Himeko had joined Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.

Himeko studied the man in front of her.

The headmaster?

He seemed well-educated, and his demeanor was extraordinary.

Was he really just a principal?

Though filled with questions, Himeko still greeted Zhongli politely.

"Hello, Mr. Zhongli."

Himeko sat down as they began their conversation. Zhongli asked most of the questions, and Himeko answered openly.

Through the discussion, Himeko realized Zhongli's identity wasn't as simple as it seemed. There was more to him than met the eye.

Likewise, Zhongli learned a lot about Himeko's world. When Himeko spoke of Honkai, Zhongli understood that it was a truly terrifying existence.

Still, Himeko wasn't a threat. She was a good person.

...

Meanwhile, Takumi was unaware of what was happening there. He had brought Keqing back to Liyue Harbor because Ningguang had summoned him.

At the Jade Chamber, the Liyue Qixing had gathered for a meeting. The main agenda was voting for Yelan to take over as the new Tianshu.

Yelan hadn't arrived yet, but she had already agreed. Now, the Qixing only needed to vote, making the decision official.

Of course, this was mostly a formality.

Baiwen was also present, holding a camera and recording everything. Clearly, this was going to be tonight's headline.

The Liyue Qixing had no objections to Yelan's appointment as Tianshu. While the general public might not be familiar with Yelan, the Qixing knew her well. She was Liyue's top intelligence agent.

If Yelan became a Qixing, her past achievements would be made public. This would help the citizens of Liyue understand why she was chosen for the role.

When the vote was held, it was unanimous.

Ningguang then picked up her phone and sent a message to Yelan.

Looking at her contact list, she found the name [Sister Yanshang Tea House Lan].

She sent her a message.

To be honest, many people wanted to complain about Yelan's display name. Why not just use her real name?

Why "Sister Yanshang Tea House Lan"?

It felt out of place.

Look at the names of Ningguang and Keqing—both were formal and serious. No unnecessary embellishments.

After sending the message, the Qixing continued discussing other matters.

Liyue was advancing rapidly. More and more people were coming to Liyue to seek fortune. The officials shared their latest work reports.

Baiwen recorded everything to prepare for the evening broadcast. Of course, editing was needed before airing.

Once the reports were finished, Yelan arrived.

Seeing her enter, Ningguang began presiding over the next proceedings.

Yelan was officially appointed as Tianshu.

Uncle Tian handed over the official seal to her.

In the coming days, Yelan would start assuming her duties as Tianshu.

The Liyue government would soon release an official announcement informing the public that a new Tianshu had been appointed.

Additionally, Yelan's achievements would be made public so that people understood why she had earned this position.

Once everything was finalized, the Liyue government issued the written announcement.

Not only that, but the news was also published online.

At the same time, Takumi used his authority to pin the announcement to the top of the trending list.

Now, anyone browsing the internet would immediately see the news.
