Genshin Impact, I'm Slime

Chapter 294 The Last Calm
"Behind these rumors, there are also figures of fools?"

While thinking about it, Ying asked in an affirmative tone.

"It seems that you already know what I'm going to say from just now."

Ging Guang looked at Ying's chest meaningfully.

"I ordered the news to be blocked and the fairy body to be hidden, firstly to stabilize the temporary situation, and secondly to avoid... the kind of thing that happened in Mond."

"The fools have taken advantage of the death of the emperor, and have already done too many secret operations that have exceeded the bottom line of diplomacy. As Tianquan, who is responsible for Liyue, I can't care about my posture when confronting.

Ningguang explained in detail the means of fools and Qixing's response. At the same time, he also told the two that the approval of the preparation of the gift ceremony was just to buy some buffer time for Qixing to fully take over Liyue.

"Hmm... Sure enough, it is exactly as Zhongli said, Seven Stars provided the venue for the ceremony just because they can use us to achieve their own goals."

Paimon looked at the smiling Gingguang angrily, but he couldn't feel much disgust of being used in his heart.

"By the way! Speaking of achieving the goal... there is one more thing, can I say?"

The little mascot opened his eyes wide, staring at the information board behind Ningguang.

"But it doesn't matter."

As if knowing what Paimon was going to say, Ningguang nodded without hesitation.

"I heard that the guests who gave the meeting gift will get some benefits... Then do we have a share?"

Paimon clenched his fists to his chest and asked expectantly.

"Pimon, can't you think of something else?"

Ying pulled little Paimon awkwardly, and held her in her arms.

How can you ask for a gift in return so directly.

"Hahaha, it's okay, I like straightforward people very much."

"Recently, there have been quite a lot of troubles for you. How about this? As an apology, you can choose one thing you like from me and take it away."

Ningguang waved his hand, signaling that he could choose anything in the study.

The first thing Ying noticed was the flawless glazed cups and crystals behind Ningguang, the jade fan inscribed by the emperor, the picture scroll of Zhu Dan with the wonderful brush, and the out-of-print ancient books...

But Paimon seemed to have already decided what he wanted.

"Okay! Just wait for this sentence! I've thought about it a long time ago, what I want is... the piece of paper on that wall!"

Little Paimon stretched out his hand and pointed to the information board covered with white paper behind Ning Guang.

Hearing Paimon's words, Ningguang covered her mouth and smiled lightly, while Ying rolled her eyes.

Paimon's thinking is always so clear.

"Don't look at me with that look! Don't you understand? The paper on this wall, even if it's only the size of a fingernail, can fetch sky-high prices!"

"If it hadn't been for a torn piece of paper... Ugh! I can't even imagine how much it's worth!"

Seeing that Ningguang didn't object, Paimon took Ying and flew staggeringly to the last wall of the study room covered with white paper, wanting to see what was written on it, which was worth fighting for by so many businessmen.

"Traveler, I need to go to the cabinet to get some documents, please forgive me."

"If you choose the paper you want, just peel it off."

Seeing the two of them focusing on the white paper on the wall, a meaningful smile hung on their condensed faces, and they left the study with squinted eyes, leaving the huge space for the two of them.

"Master Ningguang."

Waiting outside the study, Bai Xiaojian Ningguang walked out from behind the screen, and hurried forward to wait.

She knew that if there was no major event, Ningguang would hardly leave the study of Qunyu Pavilion.

Unless it was invited by the captain of the Big Dipper of the Southern Cross.

"Bai Xiao, ask the General Affairs Department to investigate all the Munata people living in Liyue, according to the photo I gave you before."

Ning Guang took down the white paper and charcoal from the bookshelf outside the main hall, quickly drew the appearance of the gift box sent by Ying and Paimeng, and even recorded the size of the lid and lock of the box exactly.

"There is also the source of this box, especially the dragon spar used as a lock."

Reaching out to click on the position of the lock on the blueprint, Ning Guang folded his arms and held them in front of his chest.

When Bai Xiao left, he condensed the light to estimate the time, walked to the side hall next to the study, and randomly picked up a copy of "Di Jun Chen's Travel Notes" from the pile of books on the ground, but he didn't seem to read it. He just spread the book and leaned against the screen Lost in thought.

In the study room on the other side, Ying and Paimon were muttering and looking at the information board, looking for the largest piece of paper.

"Well, look carefully, there is no need to pick at all."

"The biggest note is pinned in the most conspicuous position!"

With his hands on his hips, Paimon said to Ying who was carefully checking the text.

"Huh? It seems to be a map... there is a circled place, could it be a treasure!?"

The little mascot waved his hands excitedly and moved his face close to the paper.

"You blocked me, Paimon."

The girl whose sight was blocked pulled Paimon back to her side, and read the note under the map with a serious expression.

"I want to see too!"

An angry Pai Meng hugged Ying's head, lying on top of the girl's head to read the text.

"Hundred no taboo talisman... Fools study and copy... Huh?"

Paimon read the words written in secret language on the map in a daze, and translated them word by word.

"What is written on this piece of paper is the secret research of fools on the strategy of nothing taboo, and it was discovered by the thread laid by Seven Stars."

"Ningguang said just now that the fools did a lot of bad things secretly in Liyue, such as spreading rumors, coveting the immortal body, etc... But what kind of bad things is the study of Baiwutao?"

Hearing Paimon's question, Ying took out the no taboo talisman that Dadalia had given her earlier.

She suddenly remembered that Master Liuyun borrowed Feng Zhenjun to say that this talisman is not only a pass to visit the Immortal Mansion, but also an edict containing the emperor's divine power.

Are the fools planning to use the power of the dead emperor to do bad things?

Ying frowned, with a strange look in her beautiful golden eyes, and secretly wrote down the location on the map.

"Ying, speaking of it, there is something to do with you, so why don't you check it out?"

Paimon touched the paper on the wall, and while the girl was thinking, he tore off the map.

Since the fools have a conspiracy, the great adventurer Ying and her partner Paimon are going to thwart the fools' conspiracy!

Maybe there are treasures left in the secret experiment site of fools!

"Pimon...I think this piece of paper is pasted in such a conspicuous place, and the location is specially circled, it seems to be deliberately leading us there."

The girl stared at the enthusiastic Paimon, interrupting her fantasy mercilessly.

"Is that right?"

"Then...then we won't go?"

Paimon covered his mouth in surprise, then pinched the map in disappointment.

"Eh?"

Seeing Paimeng's aggrieved appearance, Ying hastily stammered to explain her thoughts.

After a lot of fuss.

"Oh, so what you mean is that the more you can't fully believe in Ningguang, the more you need to prove Ningguang's statement in person."

Holding the suspicious paper, Paimon blinked and nodded in approval.

"Although it's a bit beyond my understanding, although I think Ningguang is a good person... But as you said, act first!"

"Before going to Dihuazhou to find Zhongli, let's go to the place mentioned in this document to see if the fools are really doing some shady things!"

Paimon clenched his small fist firmly.

At this moment, Ning Guang, who was originally reading books in the side hall, knocked on the glass screen and returned to the study.

"Two, have you finished choosing?"

Ning Guang held a jade-inlaid pipe in his hand, walked to the desk, and lightly knocked off the burnt shredded tobacco.

Paimon waved the paper in his hand, just about to step forward to explain, but Ningguang smiled and waved his hand: "If you decide, don't ask me, just take it away."

There was gentle warmth in the condensed red eyes, as if he didn't care what the two of them took from the Jade Pavilion.

"Look, look, let me tell you that Ningguang is a very kind and nice person!"

Paimon quietly flew to Ying's ear, whispering.

"Master Tianquan, thank you for your hospitality, we are going to leave."

Yinghuo opened her mouth as if she had never heard of it, and even covered Paimon's mouth.

"No no no...!"

Paimeng struggled hard in Ying's arms, and Ningguang seemed to have a tacit understanding, ignoring the small emergency food, and nodded slightly.

"That being the case, hopefully next time we meet, you've done the right thing...or will make the right choice."

"Baiwen, see off two distinguished guests for me."

The three of them didn't say much, and under the leadership of Baiwen, Ying pulled Paimeng and left Qunyu Pavilion.
