Genshin Impact: Teyvat Travel Log

Ye Lan smiled and shrugged: "You're a good person in every way, except that sometimes you like to pretend to be serious."

As she spoke, she came to Ningguang and put down "Das Kapital": "Here, this is his return gift to you. I didn't peek at it, but I'm really curious why he's so sure that this book is more valuable than the house you gave him?"

Ningguang didn't say anything upon hearing this, and picked up "Das Kapital" to read it from beginning to end.

Ye Lan thought she would give some evaluation, then pretend to be uninterested, and secretly read it after she left.

But Ningguang's composure turned into a furrowed brow in deep thought.

Then his expression grew more and more serious, his eyes more and more horrified, and he would occasionally show a look of sudden realization. Even his posture of crossing his legs changed from sitting upright to sitting properly without him realizing it. He was completely captivated!

this--.

What kind of extraordinary book is this?

How could Ningguang, that seemingly virtuous woman, have turned into this?

Curious, Yelan moved closer to Ningguang and leaned back in her armchair to peek at her.

As expected!

Her eyes were completely glued to the pages!

******

It wasn't until the next morning, after burning the midnight oil and taking countless notes, that the two reluctantly closed their books, bookmarked and still wanting more, after repeated reminders from their three secretaries, since they still had a ritual to perform for the immortals that day.

However, even after a whole night, the two of them had not read more than 10 pages. On the contrary, they each had a thick stack of notes.

This is unavoidable, because "Capital" is a crystallization of wisdom based on various factors such as capital circulation, value, economy, and politics throughout human civilization, and summarized through historical practice.

A few simple words cannot possibly capture the weight of this masterpiece, and its appeal to people like them is self-evident.

While eating breakfast, the two best friends teased each other, noticing each other's slightly tired faces.

Even though she had calmed down, Ye Lan's expression was still very emotional. She didn't stop what she was doing, taking out a packet of spicy strips from the Eye of God's storage space, tearing open the packaging, and pouring the spicy strips into a bowl to mix with the lotus seed porridge.

"Without a doubt! This is absolutely a masterpiece that cannot be described in words!"

"I initially thought he wanted to give this book as a return gift."

"Now it seems..."

"This is clearly a betrothal gift!"

"Even if you were sold off entirely, it wouldn't be enough to compensate him!"

Ningguang: "..." Unable to refute.jpg

Completely unable to refute, Ningguang simply pretended to be deaf, but her eyes involuntarily fell on Yelan's bowl.

I stared at the spicy strips in her bowl with great curiosity.

Noticing her gaze, Ye Lan didn't make things difficult for her. She chuckled and tossed her two unopened packets.

In my opinion...

"You might as well just obediently marry him."

"It would be best if he had a few more smart and clever children!"

"Let him be completely bound to Liyue!"

"Otherwise, wait until he goes to another country."

"Our Liyue might really be in grave danger."

"Besides, you're not getting any younger."

"Wait until you're old and faded."

What will you do?

Ningguang: "..." I can't eat this meal!

Despite her displeasure, Ningguang's expression remained unchanged, showing no outward sign of joy or anger, clearly indicating that she had been thoroughly manipulated by Ningguang.

After patiently waiting for Ye Lan to finish speaking, she smiled and asked in return, "Don't just talk about me, you don't have many years of youth left either, do you?"

Ye Lan's smile remained unchanged upon hearing this: "So I'm already assessing him, aren't I? And so far, my impressions of him are quite good."

"After all, you know me, I do have some embarrassing hobbies."

"But how could I possibly bring something like this up to someone?"

“But Gu Jing is different; he seems to understand me very well.”

"Understanding me doesn't make me feel resentful."

"This is already a perfect match for me."

"If this really works out, then we can continue being sisters again."

"Isn't that wonderful?"

Ningguang: "..." Tianquan remained silent.jpg

It made me fall silent several times in just a few minutes!

I must say...as expected of you.

However, she could understand Ye Lan's thoughts. She did like to pursue excitement and was somewhat addicted to pain. She enjoyed the dull pain when pressing bruises and the stinging sensation when applying herbs to wounds.

Even when she went to Bubulu for treatment, she didn't want to use anesthesia during some of the more painful treatments!

It's true that it's hard to talk about; Qiqi, the apprentice doctor at Bubulu, often suffers from amnesia, and she herself disguises herself to seek medical treatment there.

It was because she and Ningguang had known each other for many years, trusted each other, and were both women that Yelan did not hide this matter from her.

If Gu Jing really doesn't mind Ye Lan's unique quirks, then she has no reason to stop this good thing.

However, as for herself, so far she has indeed had no intention of marrying anyone else, or at least she has never been tempted by it.

I won't stop you from doing what you want.

"If it really works out, I will offer my blessings, but I'd better not say anything about myself."

"Besides, you must have noticed it by now, right?"

"He is not the kind of man who can be bound by others."

"This is bound to be a failed investment."

"Without a doubt."

Ye Lan: O_o You can call your own feelings an investment? You're something else! I can't argue with that!

******

But then again—

Is something missing this morning?

Flipping through the copy of the diary, Ye Lan discovered a fact with a delighted expression—Bei Dou had actually taken action last night!

Specifically, yesterday when she returned to Qunyu Pavilion, Beidou, who had been spared by Ningguang, also approached Gu Jing, but wasn't she scolded? After getting drunk, she couldn't control her mouth and confided in Gu Jing on the spot.

What's funny is that Gu Jing actually said Ning Guang did the right thing, that betraying his own people was indeed wrong, and even advised Bei Dou to act within his capabilities.

"Look, Big Sister Beidou."

"The character '义' (yì)."

"The upper half is the character for lamb."

"The lower half is me."

"What do you mean?"

"It means I've become a lamb to the slaughter."

"This fulfills righteousness."

"I know you have a scale in your heart."

"I won't be easily deceived."

"But it's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark."

Promise me.

"Let's act according to our capabilities in the future."

These three values—

Ye Lan thought it made absolutely no mistake!

In the live stream replay from yesterday, Beidou himself agreed with Gu Jing's statement, and then the two started drinking.

The conversation drifted back to what happened last time, and they even asked Gu Jing when he planned to fulfill their promise of three days and three nights.

As a result, Gu Jing made a decision on the spot, ate the rice in his bowl in a few bites, and like a spoiled brat, carried Beidou to the bedroom on the second floor.

Yingmei and the others were having dinner in the living room at the time, and they were all stunned when they saw this scene.

The live stream then went black.

However, given this situation, it seems the invocation ceremony for today's deities might not be possible.

******

It was noon.

The annual Summoning Ceremony in Liyue Harbor was held as scheduled. In the square of Yujing Terrace, there were more foreigners than Liyue locals. In the very center of the square, on the altar set with ores, silks, and food, there was a huge incense burner.

When Yingmei and Paimon squeezed to the front of the crowd, Ningguang, who was in charge of the invocation ceremony, couldn't help but feel a little scared.

After all, Gu Jing had previously revealed that the Traveler would be wanted wherever he went. Unfortunately, no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't understand why the Traveler was wanted in Liyue. The person who wanted to see some fun hadn't explained it clearly either, so Ningguang was naturally being extra careful.

But she never expected that, amidst everyone's expectant gaze, that man who wanted to retire would pull off such a stunt!

Piaji, the half-dragon, half-scaled creature, crashed down from the sky!

And sticking out his tongue!

Seeing this, Ningguang's expression turned grim. After carefully confirming the situation, she immediately ordered, "The Emperor has been murdered! Seal off the entire area!"

The Thousand Rock Army, known for its strict discipline, immediately sprang into action.
