The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

"As for what happened before... I will give you a satisfactory answer once all these troubles have passed."

Ningguang quietly took a few steps back; she was genuinely afraid that Yu Jin would turn her into a mop. Such a thing could be accomplished with magic.

"Forget it, we don't need it now. Besides, by the time this storm passes, I'll probably be long gone." Yu Jin shook his head. Now that the matter was settled, whoever wanted to be the gatekeeper could do it!

“Here, this guy is yours.” Yu Jin pushed the young master, who had his head down, forward.

"Uh... everyone's here?" The young master looked up and greeted them, forcing back the tingling sensation on his scalp.

“Young Master…” Ke Qing looked at the executor in front of her, who was embarrassed and ashamed, and looked at Yu Jin with curiosity in her eyes.

"How did you manage to subdue him, senior? Young Master's strength is not weak."

"Huh? Is he that strong? First like this... then like this... that should do it."

Upon hearing this, Yu Jin gestured towards Ke Qing. However, judging from her confused expression, she probably didn't understand.

Hearing Yu Jin's nonchalant tone, the young master beside him was instantly enraged. What did he mean by "He's that strong?"

Young Master can guarantee that if it weren't for Yu Jin, he could have broken through the entire Yujingtai by now.

But then the young master caught a glimpse of Yu Jin's arms covered in gauntlets, and decisively suppressed his thoughts.

His hand is still throbbing painfully. If he were to say what was on his mind, the pain would probably be worse than just his hand.

"Look at you? You're not convinced?" Yu Jin said in an unfriendly tone when he saw the young master looking him up and down.

"No, no, no! Absolutely not!" The young master wiped away his cold sweat and hurriedly explained.

"Excuse me, Mr. Yu Jin, what was the reason you captured the young master?" Gan Yu asked, suppressing her shock at the young master's honest and unassuming appearance.

Even executives can be this docile? You see everything if you live long enough.

“He was spying on the girl.” Yu Jin took a step back, pointed at the young master, and looked disgusted.

“You… alright, that’s true.” The young master thought of refuting it, but ultimately gave up.

Falling into the hands of Seven Stars is far better than falling into the hands of Ember. Now the young master understands that he cannot go against Ember; obeying him and getting rid of him is the best solution.

"Peeping at...a young girl?" Gan Yu was stunned, and her gaze toward the young master turned disgusted.

How could a high-ranking executive have such a hobby?

Feeling the strange gazes around him, the young master had no words to express his bitterness. But to get rid of the embers, he endured it!

"Understood, we will handle this matter properly, Yu Jin, don't worry!" Ning Guang shook his head, and the Thousand Rock Army soldiers who were hiding in the shadows came out, and the young master put on specially made shackles.

Although these shackles cannot control a God's Eye holder of this level of strength as an Executor for a long time, they can still restrict them temporarily.

"Congratulations on acquiring a pair of bracelets. Look, they're quite valuable," Yu Jin said with a smile, patting the young master on the shoulder.

The young master's eye twitched. In a way, Ember's words made some sense. Because the shackles that could restrict the possessor of the Eye of God were truly expensive!

"Bye-Bye!"

"goodbye!"

After a brief farewell, Yujingtai fell silent once more.

"Phew! That damned guy is finally gone." The young master, still in shackles, sat down on the stone lion beside him, reverting to his arrogant demeanor.

"Hey! Gentlemen, how long are you going to keep me in these shackles? Do you really think you've got me?" The young master said impatiently, looking at Ningguang and the others who hadn't moved for a long time.

The role of an executive officer is especially useful after a crime has been committed.

"No rush. How can this be considered a success if you don't bleed a little?" Ningguang looked at the arrogant young master and sneered.

"How much? Name your price." The young master jumped down from the stone lion, his face calm.

"Money? This isn't a problem that money can solve. Do you think we're unaware of the Fools' little tricks?"

"Gan Yu, go to the Northern Bank and call the lady over. Also, have her bring the list of Liyue spies. If any one doesn't match, the young master can 'stay' in Liyue for another month."

"understand!"

Gan Yu nodded and quickly ran towards the Northern Bank.

"You know the Lady?!" The young master was shocked. News of the Lady's arrival was top secret, and since arriving in Liyue, she hadn't left the Northern Bank even once. How did Ningguang know about her?

"Calm down. I have my own methods." Ningguang looked into the distance, her eyes slightly narrowed, and said as if teasingly:

"This lady is far more capable than you. I have absolutely no clue about her purpose. I just wonder if you, as her colleague, understand it." Ningguang turned to look at the young master beside her, her face full of mockery.

She was certain that the lady's plan was kept highly secret, so much so that even the young master was unaware of it.

How pitiful, to be deceived by one's own colleague without even realizing it. Ningguang looked at the pensive young master and shook her head.

"Madam, isn't she here in Liyue to recuperate?" Upon hearing this, the young master scratched his head.

According to the woman, she seemed to have suffered great harm in Mondstadt and needed to come to Liyue to recuperate; that was all.

Chapter 292 The Fools' Little Tricks

2023-11-14

"Tuk! Tuk! Tuk!"

In a meeting room at Yujingtai, Ningguang carefully examined the list in her hand while lightly tapping the desk in front of her.

In front of her sat a lady, and beside her stood a young man who had been unshackled.

The young master rubbed his wrists; it was the first time he had ever been handcuffed. He had to admit, those specially made shackles were quite effective at restraining him.

His connection with the Eye of God has been largely suppressed.

The young master looked around and found that only Ningguang, the lady, and the young master remained in the small meeting room.

Looking at Ningguang, who remained calm and composed not far away, a ruthless glint appeared in the young master's eyes.

With the two of them, he and the lady, should be able to easily defeat this woman he dislikes.

"Take care of your colleagues behind you. Even if I die, none of you will leave this place alive." Sensing the young master's gaze, Ningguang said to the lady in front of her without raising her head.

"Oh? I didn't realize Tianquan was so strong? You're confident you can survive two executives." The young master raised an eyebrow, but his tone was unmistakably sarcastic.

“Strength isn’t just about muscles.” Ningguang put down the list in her hand and looked at the young master with a half-smile, saying:

"Guess how many terminal machines are pointed at this spot?"

"Return to the end of the journey?" The young master's eyes were pure, a beauty untouched by the pollution of knowledge.

"The Celestial Crossbow used by Liyue to fight the Demon Gods during the Demon God War. If you're looking for death, don't drag me into it." Seeing that the young master was completely clueless, the lady finally couldn't bear it any longer and spoke up.

What's going on? She was doing well at the Northern Bank, but then she was told to go to Yujingtai to redeem the young master.

The key point is that this idiot young master was caught for some crime of "peeping at girls"! How come I never noticed he had this kind of fetish before?

"Hehe, it seems there are still some clever ones among the Fools." Ningguang chuckled a few times. The Return Machine was only recently repaired, and to be honest, we have to thank Ying for that.

She then put the list in her hand into the drawer, waved her hand, and said, "The list is fine. Take your colleagues and go."

"If I catch you again, it won't just be a list of undercover agents I want." After making her usual threats, Ningguang raised her head and shouted sharply, "Off duty! Show the guests out!"

……

At this moment, everyone at the Northern Bank was as silent as a cicada's song, including the young master.

"Do you know that you've completely ruined all the rich people's arrangements over the years?"

The lady looked at the young man, her anger rising. In order to redeem him, she had even handed over Zhiyi, who was only half an undercover agent.

It's all to ensure the young master can be released immediately. Ningguang said that for every person who makes a mistake, they'll be locked up for another month; who knows if it might end up being a year?

At this critical juncture, the woman dared not gamble.

"Tell me how you fell into the hands of the Seven Stars. With your strength, you shouldn't have been subdued so quietly."

The woman glanced at the embarrassed young master beside her and asked in confusion. Given the young master's strength, it wouldn't be easy for Li Yue to capture him without causing a commotion. But this time, an unexpected turn of events occurred; the young master was captured without the Fatui's knowledge.

“It’s not Seven Stars, it’s that guy in armor from before. I think his name is Ember.” The young master said with a constipated look on his face. This was the first time he had ever encountered such a helpless guy.

His pride and joy were nothing compared to Yu Jin's; he was like a child in comparison. The last time he felt this way was when he fell into the abyss and faced his master.

The key point is that he is no longer that ignorant child! Thinking about this, the young master felt that Ember was even more unfathomable.

Upon hearing this, the woman rolled her eyes.

She stroked her chest, inwardly blaming herself for not realizing it was Yu Jin sooner. She should have suspected it the moment she heard the young master's accusation of "peeping on a girl"!

As someone determined to avoid Ember whenever she encountered it, the woman felt she had been far too careless.

"Alright, that's enough. You're just unlucky to have met him," the woman said weakly, nodding helplessly.

She looked up at the young man, who seemed to be deep in thought, and a bad feeling crept into her heart. "What are you thinking about? Are you planning to retaliate?"

“Of course, have the Fools ever suffered a loss?” the young master said matter-of-factly.

As soon as the young master finished speaking, the lady felt the burn marks on her back begin to ache again—she was afraid that the young master's actions might "accidentally" hurt her.

Thinking of this, the lady hurriedly waved her hand at the young man and said, "I advise you not to act rashly. It would be better to stay quiet for a while."

"Calm down? I can wait, but Her Majesty the Queen can't. Although I don't know why Morax faked his death, that Immortal Ancestor's Dharma Transformation is the real deal."

"If we miss this opportunity, it won't be easy to find another chance to seize the Heart of God so easily."

The young master felt that the lady was speaking from a position of privilege, as the task of seizing the Heart of God was his, not hers. Of course, the lady could have told him to wait.

However, the young master cannot wait. The acquisition time of the Heart of God is predetermined, which is also determined by the Fools based on the intelligence they have collected from various countries.

His mishap could potentially have some impact on the actions of the other executives.

This is a responsibility that the young master does not wish to bear.

“Indeed, madam. What happened to you in Mondstadt? I have a feeling your bones are broken.” The skirmisher stepped out from behind the counter of the Northern Bank, his eyes filled with disdain as he looked at the woman.

Seeing the lady's arrogant demeanor before, the soldier thought she had some real power. He didn't expect her to give up so easily when some unknown guy appeared.

In comparison, the soldier found the young master, this "gorilla," much more pleasing to the eye. At least the young master didn't immediately consider giving up after learning that Morax was still alive, unlike the lady.

"Instead of worrying about whether my bones are broken, you should worry about whether your body parts fit properly. You should get your mouth replaced too," the woman retorted sarcastically without flinching.

The soldier shrugged, indicating he didn't want to argue with the lady. Of all the executives, he and the lady had the worst tongues; they exchanged more sarcastic remarks than all the other executives combined.

"I'll say it again, you'd better shut up for a while. I've fought that guy before, and he's no match for you."

The woman paused for a moment, then continued, "As for the Heart of God, don't worry. I have a way to get it. You can take a vacation now."
