Otherwise, you'll be the one who suffers in the end.
It even implicated Liyue!
Conversely, if this matter is simply left unresolved, both sides can remain at peace.
However, Beidou's attitude made her feel uneasy.
Ningguang glanced at her sideways with her graceful posture, standing ramrod straight: "Captain Beidou, I think I need to discuss with you just how bad the impact is when someone always sides with outsiders."
"For example, a certain woman almost caused a diplomatic incident in Inazuma!"
"This time it's even more despicable!"
"They actually helped outsiders bully the Liyue Seven Stars!"
“I can understand that she wants to be loyal to her friends.”
"But you said..."
"Isn't this kind of woman a bastard?"
Beidou: "..." numb.jpg

Meanwhile, after learning from Xiangling that tomorrow was the day of the Immortal Invitation Ceremony, Yingmei decided to continue her journey after finishing her meal. During this process, apart from Paimon eating himself into a ball, nothing unexpected happened.
Before sunset, Gu Jing and his group successfully arrived at Liyue Harbor.
Looking at the bustling harbor where thousands of sails converge.
All four of them smiled.
However, entering Liyue Harbor inevitably involves a period of inspection.
After everything was settled, Yelan, who had been waiting for a long time, put away the dice and greeted him with a smile.
"Welcome to Liyue Harbor."
"I am Ye Lan from the General Affairs Department."
“On behalf of Lady Ningguang, I welcome the two travelers.”
"I am very sorry that Lady Ningguang was unable to greet you in person due to her busy schedule, but she has prepared food and lodging for the two travelers."
"If there's nothing else to do."
"Why don't we go there now?"
In fact, compared to the hands-on leader Jean, Ningguang, who has a secretary by her side, doesn't have any particularly busy official duties. She just wants to give Beidou a good talking-to so that she won't accidentally sell out Liyue and then help others count the money.
Not knowing the intricacies of the situation, Yingmei and Paimon had no objections, but Gu Jing glanced at Xiangling before giving his reply.
Is it close to Wanmintang?
"It's very close, actually right across from Wanmintang."
"Then let's go."
Ye Lan led the way, remaining silent throughout, intending to see if Gu Jing would continue his madness.
However, from the perspective of the live stream, she discovered that Gu Jing was openly observing her walking posture from behind, which made her both amused and exasperated.
But he didn't mind Gu Jing's actions.
Her slightly bluish black bob was styled with side-swept bangs, and her green eyes and red lips were adorned with purple makeup.
She wore many ornaments, and the light blue jade bracelet on her right wrist was a family heirloom. Originally, it was a complete set for both wrists, but one was lost, so now she could only wear a white pearl bracelet on her left wrist.
She wore white jade and sapphire earrings on both ears, and a dice decoration hung from her neckline. Both the dice decoration and the God's Eye pendant on her leg had blue tassels. No matter how you looked at it, she gave the impression that she was not short of money.
Moreover, a closer look reveals that her entire leather outfit is a continuous piece, with the top, bottom, and boots all connected together.
The white silk robe casually draped over her shoulders is the perfect finishing touch to her outfit. Stretching reveals her flawless armpits, and the overall look highlights her tall, curvaceous figure and ethereal, mysterious aura.
******
What was somewhat surprising yet also reasonable was that Gu Jing and his group were taken to a detached house opposite Wanmintang.
Ye Lan smiled and took out a land deed, explaining, "Lady Ningguang has already bought this residence."
"Your name is on the land deed."
"In other words, this residence is the private property of Lord Gu Jing."
"However, please don't misunderstand."
"Lady Ningguang simply wants to make friends with you."
"A proper friend."
Yingmei and Paimon: "..." (Scalp tingling.jpg)
They exchanged a glance, both feeling a little conflicted. Gu Jing was treating them way too well! I wanted a friend like that too!
Gu Jing couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this: "Then please tell Miss Ningguang that I'd also like to be friends with her."
"However, I've never liked owing money to my friends."
"Moreover, reciprocity is essential for building lasting friendships in the business world."
"As a return on this house."
"This is my gift of gratitude."
As he spoke, Gu Jing also constructed a book called "Das Kapital" in his hands, written in Teyvat script.
Ye Lan also showed an interested expression. She also noticed that Gu Jing had specifically emphasized that this was a friendship in the business world. However, this meant that his return gift would have to be more generous, which was an unspoken rule of business etiquette.
In other words, this book was more precious to him than the house?
"understood."
"I will definitely bring it."
As she took the books, she placed the land deed on the table and secured it with a key. Just as she was about to leave, Ye Lan slyly turned around and launched a surprise attack.
"Speaking of which, my name was also recorded in Lord Gu Jing's diary, wasn't it?"
"Didn't you prepare any gift for me when we first met?"
Gu Jing wasn't surprised to be stared at by her with a smile. Rather, it was Ye Lan's unpredictable actions that made her so captivating.
Thinking about it, he smiled and spread his hands: "I didn't know it would be you, Yelan, who came to pick me up, so there's no point in talking about a gift. But I remember you like spicy food. I have a few bags of snacks left here. You can take them all if you like."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lan couldn't help but chuckle and tilted her chin up: "Are you sure? You have the nerve to give me leftover snacks as a gift?"
"And why are you emphasizing that it's leftovers?"
"Are you deliberately making fun of me?"
To everyone's surprise, Gu Jing's smile widened: "I certainly wouldn't say this to others, but for you, I remember your motto is that mediocrity is numbness, and intensity is clarity. I suppose you wouldn't like anything mundane."
Ye Lan's smile widened: "That's right, you do know about me, but that doesn't mean I can accept other people's leftovers."
Gu Jing raised an eyebrow: "Why do I feel like you're implying something?"
"Your imagination."
Instantly, Ye Lan covered her mouth and chuckled. She really didn't mean anything by it, but Gu Jing's reaction made her realize what was going on.
"Let's just consider it an illusion."
"Like I was just joking with you earlier."
"Spicy strips."
"I just made it."
As he spoke, Gu Jing placed the frozen tree spicy strips he had made in his spare time on the table, picked up two packs and tossed them to Ye Lan. Ironically, the plastic packaging had Paimon's image printed on it, but this was indeed the first time that spicy strips had appeared in front of everyone.
She tore open the package and tasted it on the spot. It was numbing, spicy, and chewy. The various delicious spices made her want to keep eating it. Ye Lan immediately fell in love with the taste. While Ying Mei was still savoring the taste, she sent Meng Xiangling to taste it.
"receive!"
Suddenly, she transformed into a streak of light blue light and sped over, grabbing the spicy snacks on the table and taking the copy of "Das Kapital" that Gu Jing had given her with her as she ran away!
Goodbye~
Such an exaggerated running speed left Yingmei and Xiangling completely stunned, and Paimeng almost cried. Fortunately, Gu Jing had prepared more than just that many spicy strips. However, he did not expect Ye Lan to be so inhumane when she was doing things.
[Regarding Ye Lan (first meeting): This woman made a deep impression on me from our very first meeting.]
[A flippant smile, a mysterious aura, and a fleeting presence.]
Like an orchid blooming at midnight.
But... I guess you could say she's a woman with a large mole on her chest?
[They're really something else when it comes to getting things done!]
However, it's quite obvious.
You're definitely looking for thrills, woman!
But no matter what you say...
It's wrong to bully Little Paimon!
I have a suggestion.
[Whenever we're both free.]
【Come to my room wearing Ningguang's clothes to receive your punishment.】
Ningguang: "???"
PS: The picture shows Yelan.
Chapter Thirty-Six: This is clearly a betrothal gift! The Emperor has been murdered! The entire area is sealed off!
[Qunyu Pavilion]
Returning to Qunyu Pavilion at lightning speed, Ye Lan raised an eyebrow as she looked at the updated diary. But to be honest, just imagining that scene was incredibly exciting, to the point that she kept staring at Ning Guang's clothes when she saw her.
Ningguang felt her scalp tingle under her gaze, her cheeks flushed as she forced a serious expression: "Keep your thoughts to yourself, I can't cooperate with you."
