The treasure thieves of Teyvat rob Shenhe

"After the incident at Tianheng Mountain, he came to see me. I told him about the Quantai incident, and the Demon-Subduing Great Sage said he would help."

"A thousand years ago, the Emperor suppressed the Yunchi. Five hundred years ago, my mother sealed the Quantai at Wuwangpo. This time, it is my turn." Lin Ye said in a deep voice.

Ningguang looked at Lin Ye deeply when she heard this. She felt a strong sense of responsibility from Lin Ye.

And to face the devil head-on, it takes tremendous courage.

Lin Ye is still a teenager, but he has such courage. He has a bright future and will become a great man.

Ningguang's favorability +1.

“If the demon god Quan Tai is resurrected and attacks Liyue Harbor, we, the Liyue Seven Stars and the Thousand Rocks Army, will protect the residents of Liyue Harbor. You don’t have to bear too much.” Ningguang said in a gentle voice.

However, Lin Ye's words just now mentioned something that Ningguang was particularly concerned about.

“Does the Emperor know about this?” Ningguang asked Lin Ye.

The Emperor is the leader of Liyue and only descends to the human world during the annual ceremony of inviting the immortals. He is usually missing. Ningguang and the other seven stars also receive instructions from the Emperor through various means.

Of course your emperor knows this, having been a spectator for more than two months. Lin Ye complained in his heart.

Ningguang's words also made Lin Ye suddenly realize that the current situation in Liyue Harbor facing the revival of the Demon God Quan Tai is very different from facing the Demon God Osel in the game.

In the game, the demon god Otellar was resurrected, and Liyue Harbor was caught off guard. Even though Ningguang had deployed a large number of spies to observe every move in Liyue Harbor after the "Emperor was murdered", the Fatui's Young Master's disruption and the resurrection of the demon god Otellar were still beyond Ningguang's expectations.

At that time, Liyue Harbor had to deal with the demon god Osel on one hand, and the teleportation sneak attacks of a large number of Fatui on the other hand, which was somewhat embarrassing.

Fortunately, Ningguang has a "nuclear weapon" trick that can reverse the situation and make the final decision. Otherwise, it would take a heavier price for Liyue Harbor to complete the Emperor's answer.

And now Liyue Harbor is still under the protection of the Emperor.

Just as Lin Ye had thought before, before the main Demon God quest began, Liyue Harbor should have been the safest among the seven kingdoms.

This should be accompanied by a picture:

Liyue Harbor when the Emperor was killed: Little Xiu Gou was weak, pitiful, and helpless.

Liyue Harbor under the Emperor's protection: Jin Lun Xiu Gou, look at me, you bastard!

Lin Ye thought that even if he told the people of Liyue Harbor about the Demon God's revival, there would probably still be people who would not take it seriously and would look forward to it instead. Storytellers in particular would probably be ecstatic, waiting for the day when they would hold a little notebook and use the most gorgeous words to record the scene of the Emperor fighting the Demon God.

There are new materials, right? The old Emperor hasn't made a move in many years.

“I think the Emperor certainly knows, but why didn’t he tell us? He must have his considerations.” Lin Ye imitated Xiao’s way of speaking and said seriously.

Ningguang thought about it and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

However, Ningguang is not a person who lives by the Emperor. She is a person with her own opinions and is very independent. She gradually worked her way up from a fish vendor to the Seven Stars of Liyue, and from a poor businessman to the richest person in Liyue Harbor. These are all her pride.

If her achievements were all obtained through the Emperor's reward, then wouldn't her efforts over the years be a joke?

Although Ningguang’s other ideas are incompatible with Keqing’s, the only thing that makes them different from Keqing is their pride as human beings.

“Even though we have the Emperor’s protection, we cannot let our guard down,” Ningguang said. “I will instruct the Thousand Rocks Army to step up their alert and be ready to face an attack from the Devil’s Fountain at any time. Areas outside of Liyue Harbor also need to be on alert.”

"Master Linye, you provided a very important piece of information." Ningguang said solemnly.

"Nothing." Lin Ye waved his hands guiltily.

The reason why Lin Ye didn't ask Ningguang for help at the beginning was because he had previously learned that if Mu Xiaojin's plan failed, Zhongli would take action.

Then there is no suspense.

Pushing Lin Ye to fight against Quan Tai was also due to the system's mission.

Even if I ask Ningguang for help.

Unless Ningguang takes out "nuclear weapons", it won't make much sense.

It’s not that Lin Ye looks down on Liyue Harbor’s military capabilities.

But according to Lin Ye's understanding, apart from Zhongli, the God of War who can beat ten people alone, the high-end combat power of Liyue Port is obviously the Three-Eyed Five-Manifestation Immortal, followed by Ye Lan, Beidou and other talented people.

Hu Tao’s level is not bad either, and there is also Xiao, the great demon slayer.

As for the Qianyan Army, the ancient Qianyan Army might be very powerful, but what about the current one?

The wife of the demon god Osel was finally defeated by Shenhe and the Traveler. Without Shenhe and the Traveler, the Qianyan Army should be able to defeat them, but they would have to pay the price of casualties.

With Zhongli's support, Lin Ye tried his best to avoid unnecessary sacrifices.

"After all, the reason I want to defeat Quan Tai is because he will not let me go after he is resurrected. Instead of waiting to die, I might as well take the initiative. My mother was killed by Quan Tai. As her son, isn't it normal for me to avenge her?" Lin Ye said frankly again.

Ningguang smiled and said, "This kind of courage is rare among ordinary people. But you are right. Instead of sitting and waiting for death, it is better to take the initiative."

"But Liyue Harbor is far away from Wuwangpo. If we rashly dispatch a large-scale Thousand Rock Army, we might alert the enemy.

"Lord Ningguang, please leave this matter to me. I am not fighting alone. I have many companions and immortals to help me," Lin Ye said, "Why don't I act as a vanguard scout and go to Wuwangpo to try to prevent Quantai from resurrecting.

Ningguang pondered.

Lin Ye had obviously been investigating Quantai for a long time and was very experienced, and his team was very strong. If she sent someone to intervene rashly at this time, would it have a counterproductive effect?

If we fail, Quan Tai's resurrection is inevitable, and we can fight the enemy in Liyue Port at that time." Lin Ye continued.

“…This is a very dangerous mission,” Ningguang said seriously, “Are you ready?”

"Of course." Lin Ye smiled.

"I know someone who is quite capable on his own, but unfortunately she is on the sea returning to Liyue right now and cannot help."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ye had a guess in his mind.

The big sister of Beidou.

The person who dared to break through the blockade of the thunderstorm and smuggled the traveler to Inazuma had the strength to kill the giant beast of the underworld sea [Shanhai] before obtaining the Eye of God. After that battle, Gao Tian gave the Eye of God to the big sister Beidou.

Ningguang mentioned Beidou, but did not discuss her plans in detail. Instead, she asked Linye when they would set off.

"He is waiting for an opportunity." Ye Lan said.

"Mr. Zhongli, the guest official of the Wangsheng Hall, said, I don't know what means he used, but he said that when the time comes, we will naturally know when to set off." Ye Lan continued.

"Mr. Zhongli?" Ningguang recalled the guest official. She had met him several times. He was unfathomable and made Ningguang afraid. If it was him, Ningguang would actually think it was normal. Didn't he know a lot?

"I understand." Ningguang nodded.

“If you succeed, we’ll need to hold a grand celebration banquet for you. It’s been a long time since a hero appeared in Liyue Harbor.” Ningguang smiled meaningfully.

Under the protection of the Emperor, people worship God.

Ningguang hopes to use Lin Ye to help the residents of Liyue Harbor stand up and let them know that as people, they can also be powerful and should not be a "mama's boy."

It’s not that there’s anything wrong in praising the Emperor, but the Emperor’s stature is too great, and no one can compare to him.

Just like setting up an idol, isn't it the hope to be as good as the idol in some aspects? However, when most people regard the Emperor as an idol, they want to be blessed by the Emperor, rather than wanting to be as good as the Emperor.

Afterwards, Ningguang chatted with Linye about the expedition against Quantai, and the general meaning was that they could provide any help they could.

After Lin Ye left.

Ningguang talks to Ye Lan, asking her what the chances are for Lin Ye to succeed.

Ye Lan thought about it and smiled.

"Along the way, whether it was solving the anomaly in Tianheng Mountain or repelling Quan Tai's incarnation in the [memory] world of Qingce Manor, this guy Lin Ye has done many amazing deeds without realizing it."

"So this time, I bet he can win."

…………

After Lin Ye left Qun Yu Pavilion and returned to the Lin family, he planned to take Shen He to find Chongyun.

"Shen He, next I'm going to find someone who is somewhat related to you by blood."

They will act together in the future, so it would be better to take Shen He to meet Chongyun in advance and inform him in advance, so that Chongyun will be confused alone.

"What do you mean?" Shen He was puzzled.

Does she have any relatives?

When he was a child, Shen He returned to the village and found that his father had died long ago.

Shen He always thought that he had no relatives.

"We are relatives. According to seniority, he should call you aunt." Lin Ye said with a smile.

Chapter 141 Teahouses are not easy to run these days, so we need to start a side business

"Call me aunt?" Shen He was surprised, and a look of surprise appeared on his cold little face.

"Well," Lin Yewen explained, "his name is Chongyun, an alchemist from the Tianheng Mountain lineage. He should be a relative of yours."

"I met Chongyun in Tianheng Mountain. He has a rare pure Yang body and a great ambition to exorcise evil spirits. When he learned about the Quantai incident, he was very eager to help."

"I didn't know much about the Exorcist family before. When I investigated, I accidentally learned that they had a relative named Shen. At that time, I thought of you. After careful investigation, I found that there was indeed a girl named Shen He."

Lin Ye thought of an excuse and said it in a gentle voice. At the end, he was a little worried that this excuse was not perfect enough and would make Shen He unhappy.

"I'm sorry for investigating your background without your consent."

"It doesn't matter," Shen He shook his head, "It was a coincidence. Besides, you also... care about me."

"Of course." Lin Ye nodded immediately.

"I told you in advance so that you can be mentally prepared."

"...Chongyun, does he know about my relationship with him?" Shen He asked.

"I haven't had the chance to tell him yet, but I feel like he should recognize your name. When you introduce yourself, he'll definitely be aware of it."

Shen He was silent for a while.

"Shen He, if you feel this is a burden, you can stay at home." Lin Ye said.

"No, I want to help you." Shen He stared at Lin Ye and said seriously, "I will meet Chongyun sooner or later."

"I'm just worried about...his attitude toward me."

Lin Ye was stunned for a moment.

He was a little annoyed because he had been focusing on investigating Quan Tai recently and neglected to understand Shen He.

Shen He was born with a lonely fate and was easily hurt by her relatives and friends. Her father abandoned her when she was a child. The words “you were born with this fate” left an indelible psychological trauma on the young Shen He.

Shen He would naturally show caution and worry towards relatives he had never met.

Lin Ye thought about Chongyun's family's attitude towards Shen He and smiled gently.

"Don't worry, Chongyun is a very good person. He will definitely be very happy to see you. I can guarantee this."

Shen He said nothing.

There was a hint of hesitation on her face.

Then, Shen He nodded as if convincing himself, "Well, I believe you."

…………

Lin Ye and Shen He went to Chong's house and learned that Chongyun had gone to Feiyun Chamber of Commerce and was staying with Young Master Xingqiu.

Xingqiu and Shen He met in Aozang Mountain, and later parted in Liyue Harbor. Xingqiu was busy with his creation.

Lin Ye took Shen He to Feiyun Chamber of Commerce again, and helped Shen He to learn the way and take a stroll, as a rare moment for the two of them.

When Lin Ye realized that this seemed to be a world for the two of them, he deliberately slowed down his pace, wanting to ask Shen He if he had any favorite roadside stalls.

Then Lin Ye discovered that Shen He always had a cold face, and it was hard to tell what she liked. She was unaware of Lin Ye's little thoughts, and asked Lin Ye in confusion if he wanted to buy something.

Lin Ye was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. The road ahead is long and arduous, one has to eat one bite at a time and love cannot be rushed.

At the entrance of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, Lin Ye was speechless to find that Xingqiu and Chongyun were not there. He went to ask Axu, the servant of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, and only then did he find out that Xingqiu and Chongyun had gone to Heyu Teahouse.

Linye:......

Could it be that the two of them are also spending time together in their own world?

Ahem, just kidding.

Heyu Teahouse is one of the good places recommended by Lin Ye when he brought Shen He to Liyue Port.

The most famous teahouses in Liyue Harbor are Heyu Teahouse and Yanshang Teahouse. Heyu Teahouse is more well-known to the general public.

The residents of Liyue Harbor come to Heyu Teahouse not only to drink tea, but also to listen to the storytelling of the Tea Master and watch the wonderful Liyue opera.

The civilizations of the seven countries in Teyvat have their own characteristics. For example, Mondstadt is famous for its poetry and knights. It is a country of freedom and romance.
