The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

The woman finished speaking and sighed. This was her true purpose in coming to Liyue, and it was something she had kept hidden.

Unexpectedly, she has now directly told the young master and the soldiers who should have kept it a secret, which makes the lady feel a little tired.

"Oh? I see you're always at the Northern Bank and never go out. You're telling me you have a way to get the Heart of God?" The young master looked unconvinced.

Once the lady arrived in Liyue, she really acted like a virgin, never leaving her home all day. This made it hard for the young master to believe that the lady had a way to obtain the Heart of God.

"You don't need to know the details, at least not now. You just need to know that the Heart of God will eventually come into my hands." The woman began to speak in riddles.

It wasn't that she didn't want to explain, but that's how the contract between the Queen and the Rock God was stipulated. The lady couldn't break it.

The young master and the soldiers exchanged bewildered glances after hearing the lady's vague explanation.

"Do you believe it?" the soldier asked the young master, turning to him.

"I don't believe it." The young master shook his head.

"Snapped!"

The two clapped their hands and ran like the wind into the depths of the Northern Bank.

Just as the lady was about to stop the two, she heard the young master and the soldiers' mocking shouts coming from afar: "Big sister, go and take good care of your pregnancy! We've got our hands on the Heart of God!"

The veins on the woman's forehead bulged immediately. She took a few deep breaths, then left the Northern Bank.

Very well, let those two go to their deaths. There are a few promising young players who should be able to fill the vacant spots.

As for the Northern Bank, it's time to leave immediately. From this point on, it's no longer safe.

Chapter 293 Ascending the Jade Pavilion

2023-11-14

"Is this the Fools' backup plan that you've found these past few days?" Ember held a talisman in his hand, turning it over and over to examine it several times.

Although it looks like a counterfeit product, the power it contains is almost identical to the Unfettered Talisman that Ember saw before.

Could it be that the Fools have captured the immortals and are forcing them to draw talismans day and night?

Yu Jin was immediately alarmed. The immortal and Zhongli had been best friends for thousands of years, and he had to tell Zhongli about this important matter immediately.

"Your Majesty, are you thinking about something impossible?" Seeing Ember's restless movements, Mongot knew without a doubt that his mind had wandered off to some unknown corner.

“Mongt, you tell me what happened.” Mongt’s words immediately pulled Ember out of his reverie.

He realized that with Montgomery, the external brain, here, why was he wasting his energy? Using his brain was the most tiring thing, okay?

"Found in a camp outside the city, this paper is being replicated by an organization called the Fools."

"I've also obtained the research notes, but since my subordinates haven't been here long, they haven't been able to decipher the underlying principles yet."

As he spoke, Montgomery took out some crumpled and hastily written papers from his cloak and handed them over.

Ember pretended to look at his research notes, but his mind was actually on something else—verifying whether Montgomery's conjectures were correct.

Since the young master did indeed follow Ying, does that mean that the Seven Stars will invite Ying next?

Ember was very curious, so he tossed his research notes to Montgomery. He couldn't understand them anyway, and who knows, if he left them with Montgomery, Montgomery might use them to wipe his sweat one day.

It's mainly for wiping other people's sweat.

"Let's go, Monget! Let's go to Yujingtai and see if the Seven Stars have actually invited Ying."

"Generally speaking, definitely."

Seeing Ember's hurried figure, Mongot gave a curt reply before quickly following after him.

Covered in the same stealth spell as Paimon, the duo of Ember and Mongot still attracted a lot of attention—mainly because of Ember's attire.

But that's about it; unusual clothing is always easier for people to accept than differences in body size or species.

As Yu Jin walked from the lotus pond into the Jade Capital Terrace, he immediately noticed the difference. There was someone else there today!

With Menggete by his side, Yu Jin came to Bu Yun's side.

Yu Jin stared at Bu Yun, and Bu Yun stared back at Yu Jin. The two remained silent for a long time.

"This... what brings you here, sir?" In the end, Bu Yun couldn't bear the strange atmosphere any longer and broke the silence first.

There was no other reason than that the dark slit in the Ember Helmet was so dark that it frightened him.

"What are you doing here?" Yu Jin asked curiously, looking at Bu Yun, this "unofficial member".

This person wasn't here on my previous visits to Yujingtai, so how come they've appeared now? And in such a remote and hidden corner no less.

Is it some kind of scam?

"Weren't you going to Qunyu Pavilion?" Bu Yun looked at Yu Jin and Meng Ge Te. So these two weren't the so-called "distinguished guests"?

Gan Yu had specifically sought him out today, saying that two distinguished guests from Tianquan would soon need his guidance to ascend the Qunyu Pavilion.

So when Bu Yun saw Menggete and Yu Jin walking over, he assumed they were the distinguished guests Gan Yu had mentioned, but he was mistaken.

"Why would I go to Qunyu Pavilion? No, wait, maybe I really should go." Yu Jin changed his mind halfway through his sentence.

The face of the Seven Stars is Ningguang, and Ningguang always works in the Qunyu Pavilion. Perhaps Ningguang will arrange for Ying to meet at the Qunyu Pavilion.

Upon hearing this, Bu Yun's gaze sharpened. Could they really be distinguished guests today?

"So... since we're going to Qunyu Pavilion, what's the code?" Bu Yun leaned close to Yu Jin and asked quietly, like a thief.

"Forehead……"

"Open sesame?"

"..."

Bu Yun's eyes immediately turned impatient. He waved his hand and hurriedly said, "Go, go! Wouldn't it be a great honor to waste so much of my time?"

"Hiss—, that's impressive? You need a secret signal to go up?" Yu Jin looked at the Jade Pavilion in the sky and asked, puzzled.

"Of course, the Jade Pavilion is the brainchild of Lord Tianquan. Do you think just anyone can go up there?"

"No code, go somewhere cool and stay there!" Bu Yun looked around, feeling that Yu Jin was here to cause trouble.

Actually, it's pretty much the same. Yu Jin looked at Bu Yun and said seriously, "I think Qunyu Pavilion is cooler."

Before Bu Yun could say anything, Yu Jin bent his knees and leaped, rushing towards Qunyu Pavilion like a flying arrow.

Seeing this, Mongot shook his head and jumped out like Ember.

"Cough cough cough..."

As the dust kicked up by the two dissipated, when Bu Yun looked again, all that remained on the ground were two large craters where the floorboards had cracked.

The General Affairs Department has even more work to do now.

……

"Bang!" Ember jumped from the ground onto the Jade Pavilion, landing with a sound like a large iron lump.

"Thud." Mongot was much "quieter" than Ember; the sound of his landing was just flesh lightly hitting the floor.

Baiwen: "..."

Baishi: "..."

Bai Xiao: "..."

Weren't we told that our distinguished guests today were two young girls? How come two... two men have jumped up here?

Bai Wen and the others glanced at Yu Jin and Meng Ge Te, then nodded. "Hmm, they should be men."

"Quickly inform Lady Ningguang! Someone has forced their way into the Jade Pavilion!" Bai shouted belatedly.

Damn, what's wrong with them? They were so calm even though someone was clearly intruding. Have they gone crazy from working overtime lately?

"It's alright. You all step back." Just as Baiwen was about to inform Ningguang, Ningguang walked out of the main hall of Qunyu Pavilion.

Upon seeing who it was, she couldn't help but rub her forehead. Had she and Yu Jin been seeing each other too frequently lately?

"I...I understand." Despite their confusion, Baiwen and the other two, as Ningguang's loyal followers, retreated.

"Gentlemen, I don't think I invited you, did I?" Ningguang turned to Yu Jin and the other two after Baiwen and the others left.

"It's okay, I want to see you." Yu Jin showed no awareness of forcibly entering a private residence, not only touching and looking around, but also saying things that were easy to misunderstand.

Ningguang indicated that she didn't want to talk to Ember and turned her head towards Montgomery, feeling that Montgomery was easier to communicate with than Ember.

"The king wants to know if you have invited that traveler named Ying." Mongot lowered his eyes, his expression unchanged.

During the time when Rodel was known as the Blessed King, he had long since developed a thick skin that remained unmoved even if Mount Tai collapsed before him.

Even in this situation, he was able to keep his composure.

"That's it?"

"That's it."

Mengge nodded.

"I've invited you, so may I ask you to come down?" Ningguang looked at Ember and Mongot with a helpless expression.

Yu Jin wandered around for a while and thought that Qunyu Pavilion was very high-class. The patterns and decorations were no different from those of the cathedrals he had visited.

Hearing Ningguang's helpless tone, Ember nudged Montgomery and said to Ningguang, "Actually, I came here to help you."

"Look, have you been very busy lately?" Yu Jin glanced at Ning Guang's eyes. Although she was wearing makeup, he could still see the dark circles under her eyes.

"Yes, that's true. So what?" Ningguang nodded. Recently, various matters had been piling up on her like snowflakes, almost exhausting her.

"So I'd like to give you a special introduction to our brains, the epitome of intelligence—Mongt!" Ember pointed at Mongt and said confidently.

Mongot subtly twitched the corner of his mouth. How come he didn't know he had so many titles?

"Get to the point." Ningguang remained unmoved. There was no way she would let an outsider handle the affairs of the Seven Stars.

"I'd like to stay at Qunyu Pavilion a little longer and study some more."

Chapter 294 Montgomery's Mind-Reading Ability

2023-11-15

"Study? What do you have here that you can learn?" Ningguang was a little confused. Yu Jin didn't seem like someone who liked to study.
