Just as there are people who resonate with Keqing's work ethic, there are naturally also people who resonate with her hobbies.
Keqing's hobby strongly resonated with two people: Kujou Sara and Barbara.
Buying dolls of the divine is truly civilized, isn't it?
What kind of bad person would buy dolls of their own deity?
Keqing has a cabinet full of Rex Lapis idols, and Kujou Sara has a cabinet full of venerable mikoto statue of narukami ogosho.
Barbara naturally collects many statues of Barbatos, and currently, Barbara is the most well-fed.
Because in the illustrations drawn by Lin Qiu, Venti appears the most among the deities, even having a divine form, whereas Ei doesn't even have an illustration.
Among the fans of the deities, Dinazade is arguably the most pitiful.
Most Sumeru People don't know what Lesser Lord Kusanali looks like, so dolls are naturally scarce, and even with money, Dinazade can't buy them.
It's ironic that people like Keqing, who are 'disrespectful' to the divine, are actually very much favored by the gods.
Whether it's Venti, Guizhong, Zhongli, or Nahida, they all like this Yuheng.
The reason is that Keqing's 'disrespect' does not include 'arrogance'; she opposes the divine but does not deny them.
She humbly learns all sorts of knowledge and, when troubled, considers what the divine would do, but she never relies on the divine.
In contrast, the Grand Sage can be said to be the exact opposite.
Also 'disrespectful' to the divine, the Grand Sage does not oppose the divine, but he denies them.
If he merely denied them, it wouldn't matter much, as most deities wouldn't care about such things.
However, while denying the divine, he cannot escape his dependence on them, wanting to use human wisdom to create a god to guide them.
If he relied solely on his own wisdom to create a god, that would be one thing, but he is also very arrogant.
He imposes his personal ideas on all Sumeru People, using the full power of Sumeru to help him create a god.
Isn't this purely the opposite of wisdom?
The reason Nahida tolerated it before but became very angry later was because the Grand Sage crossed a line.
You can oppose me, you can deny me, but you cannot impose your arrogance and desires on other citizens.
In contrast, Furina doesn't have these worries.
Her citizens still revere her; the most disrespectful act they might commit is naming a pet 'Furina'.
This also shows that the Chief Justice was a good choice; if the Grand Sage were the Chief Justice, Furina's situation would be no better than Nahida's.
Neuvillette lacks human emotions, which also prevents him from developing human arrogance.
He has diligently worked for four or five hundred years without a single thought of overstepping his bounds.
At this moment, Furina wanted to go to Liyue again; she knows Keqing and Xiangling, and after reading these two stories, she wanted to see them.
It must be said that ever since meeting Lin Qiu, Furina has become much more active.
Her psychological pressure has lessened, and with Lin Qiu's teleportation ability, she can travel anytime, causing Furina to rush to Liyue to play whenever she has free time recently.
Speaking of Liyue, we must also mention The Knave; she is currently in Liyue, observing Lin Qiu's movements.
Unlike Tartaglia and Rosalyne, who are on a ship, she, stationed at Northland Bank, can read at any time.
She was uncharacteristically dejected; Zhongli's line, 'Grateful for the kindness of old friends, inheriting the affection of former companions,' stirred her memories.
If Granny Ping's bonsai represents 'Liyue,' then her bonsai represents 'House of the Hearth.'
It's just a pity that her old friend can no longer see the 'bonsai' she meticulously cultivated...
Arlecchino closed the book and remained silent for a long time.
She was still too composed; Balladeer had already torn up two books.
"Qiu Cheng..." Balladeer silently recited Lin Qiu's pen name.
Lin Qiu looked at the system notifications and found that this book had caused several Fatui Harbingers to break down.
I wrote a story about Liyue, why are you guys breaking down?
However, what puzzled Lin Qiu was why Rosalyne, who usually breaks down easily, didn't this time?
Just as he was thinking, someone knocked on the door. Opening it, he saw a pink-haired girl in a red dress with antlers.
"Granny, I've come to find you~!" Yanfei looked inside and froze.
Everyone here is young! Where's Granny? Granny Ping's aura is clearly here!
By the way, why are there so many adeptal auras here...? Is this still Liyue Harbor?
"Oh? It's Yanfei. Come in quickly, come to Granny." Gecheng waved to Yanfei.
"Granny?" Yanfei walked up to Gecheng, a little bewildered.
This person indeed has Granny's aura, but... why is she so much younger?
As a newly ascended half-allogene, Yanfei had never seen Granny Ping when she was young, which is why she seemed so surprised now.
"Should I call you 'older sister' now?" Yanfei scratched her head.
As a lawyer, she has a habit of speaking precisely, but calling her 'Granny' is also her habit; for a moment, she didn't know what to do.
"Call me whatever you like~." Gecheng smiled, "Let me introduce everyone to you."
After the introductions, Yanfei understood what was going on.
The reason Granny became younger was because her friends from her youth had returned.
And Granny called her back to ask her to help the Traveler find materials to craft the Serenitea Pot.
"I understand, Granny. Leave it to me." Yanfei smiled.
It seems she still habitually called her 'Granny,' and Gecheng didn't mind.
"Mr. Lin Qiu, it's a pleasure to meet you." Yanfei said to Lin Qiu.
As a legal expert, she loves to read, and she had naturally read the prophecy book.
"It's a pleasure to meet you too, but I didn't expect it to be at my home."
He didn't meet 'Zhang San' in court; instead, he met her at his own home.
Yanfei, however, thought a lot. As a lawyer, she is accustomed to analyzing others' statements.
Lin Qiu said 'didn't expect,' so reverse thinking means he had thought about meeting me?
But why? Even as an adeptus, I'm just an unqualified little half-adeptus!
And as a lawyer... to be honest, she didn't think she could provide any legal advice to the Prophet.
This is a Prophet! What a lawyer says needs debate, but what a Prophet says, everyone just believes.
If it really came to court, instead of me helping him debate, it would be more like him helping me testify...
Yanfei couldn't understand why Lin Qiu would want to meet her, after all, how could she know that she was a playable character in 'allogene'?
Unable to figure it out for now, Yanfei decided to set it aside and said to the Traveler,
"Traveler, do you want to come with me?" Yanfei asked; she also wanted to take this opportunity to get to know Lumine, as Lumine is the protagonist in the prophecy.
"Okay." Lumine nodded. She was actually a restless person by nature, so she readily agreed.
On the other side, Keqing was chatting with Ganyu.
As the 'victims' of the prophetic story, they were discussing when to find Lin Qiu.
Unfortunately, both are workaholics. Although they really wanted to find Lin Qiu, they were quite busy due to the approaching Moonchase Festival and couldn't spare the time.
In resignation, they could only let Lin Qiu 'get away with it' for a while longer, until the day of the Moonchase Festival when they would have a break.
