Keqing and Ningguang looked at each other, and after a long silence, Keqing spoke up: "Mondstadt did wrong to the previous Signora, but the problem stems more from Mondstadt's upper echelon at that time. Their words and the media could guide the people, but also mislead them.
But now Signora has chosen to join the Fatui and collude with those guys, she's not a good person either."
Ningguang expressed a different opinion: "Snezhnaya's decision to send Signora to Mondstadt likely had another purpose.
However, unlike before, the Fatui's reputation was at its worst during Dr. [博士]'s time as a diplomatic envoy in Mondstadt.
Signora has indeed restrained the Fatui."
Mu Yang frowned upon hearing this. He naturally knew what the Fatui's goal was.
Mu Yang wasn't interested in the God's Heart. Compared to the powers of the outer realms, the power of a God's Heart was nothing.
However, Signora becoming a diplomatic envoy had its benefits for Mondstadt. Did she still care about Mondstadt?
Mu Yang narrowed his eyes, then shook his head slightly. Even if Signora still cared about Mondstadt, it wasn't because she cared about it herself, but because it was the city her loved one had protected. Perhaps even now, she was a deeply contradictory individual.
But there was no common ground between them. Even if there were ways to revive people in the future, Mu Yang wouldn't help Signora revive her loved one.
Wouldn't it be better to revive Raiden Shogun, the Great Tree King, or Guizhong?
Keqing snorted disdainfully: "No matter what, the Fatui have harmed Mondstadt's citizens, haven't they?
I heard that the Fatui even wanted to recruit soldiers from Mondstadt!
Even if Signora has restrained the Fatui's behavior, they're still the Fatui. They're still causing havoc in various countries.
If you ask me, we should just sever ties with Snezhnaya and refuse entry to their people. Every time I see those Snezhnayan merchants coming to Liyue, they're Fatui spies. The Yuheng has been catching them for years."
Ningguang rolled her eyes at Keqing: "How can we just sever ties?
We can't completely get rid of Northland Bank when we're doing business abroad. We'll need to establish our own banks in other countries first."
Speaking of which, Ningguang also rubbed her temples. The mess left behind by the previous Seven Stars was just too much. Why did they let Northland Bank in so easily?
If it wasn't for asking the Geo Archon and knowing that those guys really had no sense of crisis, that they were truly incompetent, Ningguang would have suspected they were bought by the Fatui. Otherwise, why did they show no reaction when the Fatui used shady means to attack domestic money houses?
Thankfully, those guys were gone now.
Otherwise, she would have been dragged down by these incompetent teammates.
Keqing snorted: "You're always about weighing pros and cons. There'll be a period of pain, but it's better to cut it short. Liyue is the center of wealth in Teyvat. If Snezhnayan merchants can't enter Liyue, it's not us who'll be in trouble, it's Snezhnaya.
Without those Snezhnayan guys, Liyue will be much more peaceful."
Seeing the two arguing, Mu Yang turned to Nahida and asked: "Nahida, what do you think Liyue should do at this time?
Nahida happily took a bite of a roasted mushroom, then thought for a moment before saying: "The Fatui need to be watched. Both sides have their own points.
Actually, you can have Morax sign a contract with the Tsaritsa to prevent Snezhnayan people from causing trouble in Liyue. I believe the Tsaritsa will give Morax face."
Morax's face was still quite powerful. During the Archon War, he was the undisputed king of kills.
The title of Rex Lapis was earned through real blood and iron!
Nahida had a rough idea of Snezhnaya's demands. She was more upset about it. You can oppose the laws of nature if you want, but don't use my children of Sumeru for experiments!
She could understand it, but she wouldn't forgive it.
"Indeed, the Tsaritsa will give Morax face.
But so what?
If it were me, if they brought pain to my people, that country wouldn't have the right to exist.
No matter how noble the goal is, if it brings pain to others, then that supposed noble goal becomes vile." Mu Yang gently rubbed Nahida's head and said softly.
He wouldn't admit that it was because he had sauce on his hands.
Nahida nodded thoughtfully. Was that Mu Yang's way of thinking?
He's also a Dendro Archon!
He could see a lot from a little.
If Mu Yang were to become the Dendro Archon, judging by his thoughts, Sumeru would likely experience a massacre. The Akademiya, the people in the desert, they would probably all be purged by Mu Yang.
Keqing also heard Mu Yang's words at this moment and quickly advised: "Mu Yang, you're too radical!"
She thought she was already radical enough, but it turned out Mu Yang was even more radical.
She didn't believe Mu Yang would lack the power to destroy Snezhnaya in the future.
"Radical? Maybe." Mu Yang smiled noncommittally. If Snezhnaya lost in the future, that country wouldn't exist.
However, Snezhnaya hadn't brought trouble to him yet, so he didn't need to be so extreme.
Actually, besides Dr. [博士] and Scaramouche, most of the other members of Snezhnaya were probably even despised by dogs. It seemed like many of them had their own agendas.
Other countries, after the end of the story, seemed to settle down. It couldn't be denied that the previous chaos in these countries was caused by the Fatui.
But these countries also had their own internal problems.
Mondstadt's Dvalin, Liyue's trials, Inazuma's Watatsumi Island, the problems within the Tenryou Commission and the Yashiro Commission, Sumeru's Akademiya and Nahida's imprisonment, Fontaine's flood...
These events all seemed to be resolved by the Traveler, but it seemed like there was an unseen hand pushing them along.
The Fatui stirred the water, creating internal instability in these countries, and then they were resolved.
After that, Snezhnaya got the God's Heart, and these countries' problems were solved.
Mu Yang didn't know if this was part of a deal. If it was, then the Tsaritsa was a pretty good god.
It was just that she seemed to have poor control over her subordinates. Mu Yang really doubted if she could truly control the Fatui.
Anyway, Dr. [博士] was a terrible person, and it was also the Tsaritsa's fault for letting him run wild!
What a contradictory god!
