Jiang Ning was fiddling with the fire when he sensed someone approaching and looked up to ask:

"Who?"

His hand rested on the sword that was placed to the side.

"Don't misunderstand, I meant no harm."

A young man stepped forward. Jiang Ning narrowed his eyes; the man before him was quite capable.

"who are you?"

Jiang Ning asked.

The man said, "I'm just someone passing by. My name is D'Artagnan, and I am..."

"The lowest-ranking executor of the Fools?"

Jiang Ning suddenly remembered that he seemed to have heard this name from Ke Qing.

He looked at D'Artagnan with some hostility and said, "What do you want with me, Executor of the Fools? I haven't settled accounts with you for what happened in Mondstadt yet."

Although you indirectly helped yourselves by gaining a thousand-year legacy, let's keep things separate.

D'Artagnan quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't misunderstand, I really have no ill intentions. I just want to get to know you. I've heard about what happened in Mondstadt. That was done by a lady. What does it have to do with my young master?"

Jiang Ning still looked at D'Addariya coldly, but finally relented: "Sit down."

He also wanted to see what the Fools were up to.

Wait a minute, considering the plot where his master wants to retire... the original storyline wasn't that the Fatui wanted to get the Heart of God and then cause trouble in Liyue.

As it turned out, the old man wanted to retire, which was seen as a test for Liyue?

But isn't this test too easy? Is it treating the fools as a test of retiring and transitioning to rule by men?

Although Jiang Ning found it absurd, he believed that his thinking was largely correct.

All I can say is that Jiang Ning is very smart, but even if you brainwashed him, you probably wouldn't have thought of this. Not only did he retire, but Morax pulled off a huge stunt by jumping into the clouds to commit suicide and fake his death.

“Well, then I won’t stand on ceremony…” Tartaglia also showed a happy expression. “Speaking of which, this lady is a madwoman. I don’t get along with her at all. Moreover, this time I was sent to Liyue by Her Majesty the Queen in a perfectly legitimate manner. The mission is one thing, but the Northern Bank needs to audit their accounts.”

As Jiang Ning listened to D'Artagnan talking incessantly, he also had his own thoughts in mind.

Let's talk to Ningguang about this later. This country with the right to mint coins only has so-called money shops? And only some locals deposit money here?

On the contrary, the Northern Bank made a fortune?

This won't do. It's time to let the Northern Bank know about the rogue tactics of the minting nation. Also, I'm likely to be pushed into the spotlight.

As the saying goes, a new broom sweeps clean. Even though I may only be a deity with supervisory power, I still have to make a splash, right?

Northern Bank is a pretty good new company.

One can only say, are the wealthy fools ready to embrace the advanced banking concepts of the 21st century?

Despite having many thoughts running through her mind, she remained expressionless and simply went along with Tartaglia's statement that she had no ill intentions towards Liyue and that it was purely a normal exchange between nations.

Jiang Ning's gaze softened somewhat, and he said, "Since you've come to Liyue with friendly intentions, we naturally welcome you. I've always held the belief that we should treat guests with good wine and enemies with spears, and this applies to other countries as well."

The almost explicit words made D'Artagnan laugh as well:

"Yes, yes, that's right, very well said. So, let's communicate more in Liyue Harbor in the future. I'm new here and don't know what fun places there are. Also, there are quite a few people at home waiting for me to buy some souvenirs to take back with me."

"You can ask me more questions then."

Jiang Ning also wanted to see what Dadalia thought. Since you wanted to get closer to me, then I'll just go along with your wishes.

A hint of a smile flashed deep in Tartaglia's eyes: "Alright, it's a deal then. When we get to Liyue Harbor, I'll treat you to a meal. Consider it an opportunity to meet a new friend."

"If it's about dining, I'd recommend Crescent Moon Pavilion and Crystal Pavilion. These are the most upscale places in Liyue. Of course, if you're looking for good quality at a reasonable price, Wanmin Hall is just as good."

Jiang Ning said.

“Alright, I’ll make the arrangements then.” D’Artagnan agreed readily.

The rest of the time was spent chatting about this and that without any disagreement. Since everyone had already discussed what they wanted, they parted ways somewhat "reluctantly."

After Daliyah left, Jiang Ning also stopped smiling.

I can see it now, this guy is a battle maniac. Does he really think I can't see the fighting spirit in his eyes?

But to be honest, Jiang Ning is very confident now. In the past month or two, he has been working hard to clear out the Abyss Cult and has also gained a lot of benefits.

Things are different now. My strength has skyrocketed, and more importantly, I have the support and assistance of my senior sister, Coconut Milk.

Although Jiang Ning didn't know the exact strength of Tartaglia, judging from the aura he exuded, he was genuinely afraid of being accidentally killed.

"What? Someone was here just now?"

Xianyun also appeared at the opportune moment and asked a question.

Jiang Ning laughed: "Master, don't pretend. I can feel it. You and Master Zhongli are watching me from the mountain."

"Huh? No." Xianyun still wanted to play dumb.

Jiang Ning said, "My senses are very strong, and my master didn't deliberately keep it from me. He probably isn't afraid of me finding out. Although it's not complete yet, I've already obtained a portion of the Rock God's authority from my master."

"Although I haven't reached the point where I can know everything in Liyue if I want to, the nearby Geo elementals will still tell me a lot."

"Besides, Heureia left too, didn't she? It's obvious she deliberately left me here alone, just so I could make contact with Datalia, right?"

"You are quite clever." Now that things had come to this point, Xianyun chuckled and stopped pretending.

Heureia returned and said, "See, I told you I couldn't hide it from him."

Xianyun snorted but didn't say anything.

During this time, Xianyun and Heulia's relationship has become much closer. After all, they have been close neighbors who frequently exchanged business dealings since before.

"Master's exam must be coming up soon... Hmm, will he be stationed permanently in Liyue Harbor soon?"

Jiang Ning asked.

"Don't ask me about this, I don't know."

Xianyun's gaze was calm.

Jiang Ning didn't press further; Xianyun's behavior already spoke volumes.

He smiled and presented the roasted rabbit to Xianyun, saying, "Master, please have some."

Above it are the finest salt grains produced by Jiangning using the salt authority.

Heulia was used to it. At the beginning, she was protesting that her powers were being used by Heulia to grill.

Now, whatever, let it be. At least it's been put to good use.

After all, compared with the other two powers that Jiang Ning possessed, his own power was truly insignificant in terms of combat.

Xianyun was very satisfied and took it to eat.

The aroma and flavor danced on my taste buds, and Xianyun couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"You silly child, if I wanted to taste your cooking, I had to bring you out here. I wouldn't allow Gan Yu and Shen He to bring you food from the Chen Ge Pot, so you finally have to cook for yourself."

Jiang Ning was helpless; his master was truly someone whose rank was higher.

At home, if she doesn't want to cook, Shen He and Gan Yu will let her have her way. But as soon as her master comes, she has to obediently cook as soon as he says a word...

That's it, the chef is forced into employment.

"Alright, let's rest a bit more and continue. The place where the demon god is buried is not far away."

"Well, it's a pity that after all this time, not a single one still retains any trace of omnipotence or resentment."

"These things are not so easy to come by. You are extremely lucky to have met Heulia and that necromancer."

"alright."

…………

Meanwhile, D'Artagnan, on the other side, also returned with a full load, feeling that he had made a good start.

The Fools nearby congratulated him, saying, "Congratulations, young master, on your initial contact with Liyue and the gain of their trust."

D'Artagnan toyed with the short blade in his hand, then said:

"It's not that easy. Most of the time we were just arguing and testing each other. If it were that easy to gain trust, Liyue would be just like Mondstadt by now."

"However, this has laid the groundwork for future contact, which will continue..."

"What he just mentioned about restaurants in Liyue... I think it's Crescent Moon Pavilion, Wanmin Hall, and Crystal Pavilion? Once we get to Liyue Harbor, we can ask the people at the Northern Bank which restaurant is the most upscale and best for entertaining guests. We can book the best private room and not worry about the cost."

"Yes……"

"Also, find out if there is a Mr. Zhongli in Liyue Harbor. Remember, you must be polite. Her Majesty the Queen said that this Mr. Zhongli is someone we can win over."

"Yes, sir."

120. Poor Jiangning, a master and apprentice lineage passed down through generations.

After another period of training, Jiang Ning returned to Liyue Harbor. Looking at the bustling city before him, he felt as if he had been transported to another world.

During this period, we were living in the wild. Apart from sleeping in the Chengehu, all we could see were mountains and forests.

They dug their way from Liyue Harbor all the way to Qiaoying Manor, then returned the same way, turned a corner, and went to Stonegate.

Jiangning is definitely acting a bit strange.

Once home, he goes straight to sleep without saying a word.

Heureia sat at the doorway, watching the idle clouds, somewhat speechless:

"I've already said that cramming is not a good teaching method. What have you done to this child?"

Xianyun said somewhat embarrassedly, "Well, it's because I'll be staying in Liyue Harbor for the next month, so I was thinking I needed to catch up on this schedule..."

Heureia sighed, "Well, at least I have those treasure-hunting gangs and the Fools to relieve stress..."

Because he has been "surviving in the wild" and has to face the remnants of the demon god and the monsters eroded by the demon god's resentment every day, Jiang Ning has always been in a state of combat readiness.
