Seeker of Teyvat

And those involved may be two, three, or even more generations of the Seven Stars.

"Thank you for the reminder. I am ready. The Immortal... will see that [Liyue under human rule] can also achieve a great future."

Hearing Wang Daoyi's words, Ningguang nodded slightly, and her eyes softened as she looked at Wang Daoyi.

Wang Dao nodded slightly, did not continue speaking, and left the Qun Yu Pavilion with Ningguang's order.

With Ningguang's consent, Wang Daoyi easily found Ye Lan's men in the Yanshang Teahouse.

Although they hid well, they were still very conspicuous in Wang Daoyi's eyes.

"Where's Ye Lan?"

Wang Daoyi did not hide anything. He walked up to them, showed Ningguang's warrant, and asked directly.

Fortunately, the other party not only recognized Ningguang's warrant, but also knew Wang Daoyi.

"What do you want from Big Sister? She went to investigate something with the traveler, and we don't know where she is for now."

Said the General Affairs Department spy dressed as a gambler.

Wang Daoyi nodded slightly, and then continued to ask: "Who did they investigate, Zhiyi? Or Qianwei or Mingbo?"

The General Affairs Department spy dressed as a gambler had a conflicted look on his face. Obviously, he couldn't decide whether he should tell Wang Daoyi the information.

The people here are all spies trained by Ye Lan. They serve Ye Lan, and Ning Guang secondly.

If Ningguang came in person, given the cooperation between Ningguang and Ye Lan, they would naturally tell Ningguang about Ye Lan's whereabouts.

But it is hard to say about Wang Daoyi who holds the Ningguang Order.

Who knows if Wang Daoyi is an enemy spy, or even an enemy in disguise?

Seeing the other party's embarrassment, Wang Daoyi did not continue to ask. The other party was just an ordinary spy and there was no need to embarrass them.

"Forget it, I'll just wait for Ye Lan to come back and tell her I was here. Also, is Uncle Tian still on the second floor?"

The spy dressed as a gambler breathed a sigh of relief, then nodded to Wang Dao: "Okay, I'll tell the big sister. Also, Uncle Tian is on the second floor recently."

The spies obviously didn't know Uncle Tian's identity, and Ye Lan didn't tell them.

After all, as the head of Tianshu Star, Uncle Tian’s identity is kept secret. Except for some key figures, most Liyue people, and even employees of the General Affairs Department, do not know Uncle Tian’s identity.

In the eyes of the spies, Uncle Tian might just be a retired employee of the General Affairs Department who had a good relationship with Ye Lan and Ye Lan just invited him for tea.

"Okay, I'll go upstairs and have tea with Uncle Tian. Remember to tell Ye Lan when she comes back."

Chapter 409: Cloud and Mist Golden Pill

The second floor of Iwagami Teahouse is rather strange. The stairs are not inside the teahouse, but on the side outside the teahouse.

So Wang Daoyi left the Iwagami Teahouse first, and then found the side stairs to go up to the second floor.

Sure enough, just as the spy dressed as a gambler said just now, Uncle Tian was drinking tea here, or in other words, admiring the surrounding scenery.

"Oh, it turns out it's you. Why do you have time to see this bad old man like me?"

Although Uncle Tian's health has become worse, his hearing is still good. He heard some movement of Wang Daoyi going upstairs. When he turned around and saw that it was Wang Daoyi, the vigilance in his eyes immediately dissipated, revealing a smile.

When Wang Dao heard what Uncle Tian said, he smiled, walked to the tea table and sat down.

"If you are considered a bad old man, then I'm afraid there won't be many respectable old people in Liyue."

Wang Dao praised Uncle Tian on the other hand.

Uncle Tian smiled and shook his head: "You, when we first met in the Hall of Rebirth, I knew you were a good talker. I never thought that now, an old man like me would have to trouble you to visit me. It's really... fate is unpredictable."

Uncle Tian was a little sad. When he and Wang Daoyi first met, Wang Daoyi was still a young boy, and he was also energetic and thinking about Liyue's affairs.

But now,

Wang Daoyi is still young and strong, so powerful that even Qixing pays great attention to him.

But Uncle Tian himself was so old that he had to leave the matter of choosing his successor to others.

"Destiny and time are the most elusive things in this world. They fool us, but we have no way to resist." Wang Daoyi also smiled and shook his head, seemingly saying something reasonable.

Uncle Tian smiled and did not continue the topic of fate and time.

He reached out and picked up the tea cup and poured Wang Daoyi a cup of tea.

"Try it, this is the good tea that Yelan got from Ningguang. If I hadn't been sick, I might not be able to drink this good tea."

"Ha, Uncle Tian is joking. If you are willing, the tea merchants in Qiaoyingzhuang will probably squeeze through your door."

As the brains behind Qixing, once Tianshu Xing expresses his special interest in something, someone will always bring it to him.

Even though not many people know the identity of Uncle Tian, ​​most of these few people are powerful people.

If these people have the opportunity to bribe or get close to Tianshu Star, they will never give up.

"Oh, what they sent is the filth of the world, how can it be compared with this pot of tea from Yelan."

Uncle Tian sneered, obviously looking down on those people who tend to be popular.

Uncle Tian can understand their behavior and do things for the greater good, which is completely normal.

But breaking rules and provoking regulations for profit is bad and stupid.

During his career, he had been bribed many times.

However, today Uncle Tian is still a Tianshu star, and most of those who bribed him have disappeared into Liyue's shopping malls.

The more secretive the location, the more important the rules must be.

"Ha, let's not talk about this anymore. You kid, you didn't come to see me this time to talk about these trivial things."

Uncle Tian interrupted the discussion between the two on bribery and being bribed, looked at Wang Daoyi with interest and asked.

Uncle Tian knew Wang Daoyi's identity, but he didn't know much. He could only confirm that Wang Daoyi and the emperor had a close relationship.

So when Wang Daoyi came to him, he couldn't help but think of other things like Ning Guang.

"Ha, you have a keen eye. I do have something to ask you for." Wang Daoyi smiled and then continued, "You entrusted Ye Lan to help you choose your heir, but did you ever have a choice in your heart?"

Hearing Wang Daoyi's question, Uncle Tian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Uncle Tian was not surprised that Wang Daoyi knew about the selection of Tianshu Star. Wang Daoyi had so many friends in Liyue, most of them were in high positions. It was expected that he would know some secret information.

However, what makes Uncle Tian curious is why Wang Daoyi intervened in the selection of Tianshu Star. Although Wang Daoyi has not done anything yet, in Uncle Tian's view, Wang Daoyi told himself about the selection of Tianshu Star. It is already interfering with the assessment.

Therefore, based on the above reasons, Uncle Tian did not answer Wang Daoyi's question, but asked: "I am very curious, is it the existence behind you, does it want to intervene in the selection of Tianshu Star?"

Perhaps because he felt that he didn't have long to live, Uncle Tian's question was not as roundabout as Ningguang's, but he directly questioned Wang Daoyi.

Wang Daoyi shook his head quickly: "Of course not, this is my own decision, and behind me..."

Wang Daoyi still didn't say the last words.

He originally wanted to say that there was no one behind him, but after thinking about Zhongli's support for him and Istaru's plan spanning thousands of years, Wang Daoyi felt that it was better for him to keep a low profile.

Uncle Tian could also care about the words Wang Daoyi swallowed back in the end, or in other words, he noticed but didn't say anything.

"Forget it, now that you are in front of me, you must have dealt with that girl Ningguang." Uncle Tian suddenly lost his guard, shook his head and sighed a few times.

"To tell you the truth, before I fell ill, I had actually made a decision that Zhiyi would take my place." There was a trace of regret in Uncle Tian's tone.

A hint of understanding appeared in Wang Dao's eyes.

Sure enough, Uncle Tian had actually decided on his successor a long time ago, but something happened that made Uncle Tian temporarily change his decision.

Therefore, Wang Daoyi asked curiously: "So, why did you change your decision?"

Uncle Tian was silent for a while, then sighed, "Alas, Zhiyi was born in a poor family, but he was a man who was willing to make progress. I met him before when I was fishing. He didn't know my identity at the time, so we got along for a while as fishing friends. He helped me process the fish, and I taught him all kinds of knowledge."

"Over time, this half-teacher, half-friend relationship has been maintained."

"Later, after Zhiyi got the news that he was selected as a candidate, something was wrong with him."

"Although he still looks enthusiastic, but... fake, fake, fake. I can tell it's fake at first glance."

"He doesn't want to laugh, but for the sake of Tianshu Star's position, he is forcing himself to laugh."

"At that time, I advised him that although Tianshu Xing is noble, he is also a person who hides behind the scenes. If he really doesn't want to fake that smile, then he can give up that fake smile and treat others with sincerity."

"Maybe my persuasion had an effect. Zhiyi disappeared for a few days. According to what he said, he went to the mountains alone to meditate for a few days. The effect was very good."

"Later on, he really made great progress in dealing with people, and his reputation among everyone became better."

Uncle Tian was talking nonchalantly, Wang Dao listened attentively and showed no impatience at all.

In the first half of Uncle Tian's narration, Zhiyi is simply the most suitable successor.

He is young and energetic.

He corrects his mistakes and has a strong learning ability.

He is half teacher and half friend to Uncle Tian, ​​and is the person most likely to take over Uncle Tian's burden.

But, the story always has a twist.

Next, Zhiyi’s turning point came.

"Later, other candidates were gradually selected according to the process."

"Ming Bo has served the General Affairs Department for many years and is quite prestigious among the many employees of the General Affairs Department."

"Qian Wei is a rare flower in Liyue's business community. The appearance of these two people put a lot of pressure on Zhiyi, and he began to worry again."

"However, with the experience from last time, Zhiyi told me that he would go to the mountains again to meditate and calm his mind."

"I don't know if the mountains are really that conducive to meditation. After Zhiyi came back this time, he was even more... 'perfect'. No matter what happened, he could handle it in an orderly manner. His logic in speaking was also more meticulous, and he treated people like a master who had been practicing this art for decades."

"Moreover, the Liyue people's favorable impression of Zhiyi is getting better day by day, and many good things about Zhiyi have appeared for no reason."

"Oh, Zhiyi and I have known each other for a long time. He can be said to be half of my apprentice. How could I not know his story?"

"So, I concluded that there must be a person behind these things, so I entrusted the review to Ye Lan. Ye Lan is the best at this kind of information investigation."

"So whether Zhiyi was deceived or... cooperated with unknown forces, he is no longer suitable to be Tianshu Star."

Having been deceived by outsiders during the Tianshu Star assessment, he naturally has no qualifications to sit on the Tianshu Star position.

Another possibility is that Zhiyi was corrupted and made a deal with an unknown enemy.

If that's the case, then it means Zhiyi is useless.

"Cough, cough, cough." As he spoke, Uncle Tian seemed to feel a little sorry for the child Zhiyi and coughed violently.

Wang Daoyi hurriedly stretched out his hand and put a pill the size of a pigeon egg into Uncle Tian's mouth.

Then he picked up the teapot on the table with his other hand and brought the spout to Uncle Tian's mouth.

"Gudong, gudong~"

He swallowed a few gulps of tea and took the Hunyuan pill into Uncle Tian's stomach.

Feeling the slight warmth coming from his stomach, Uncle Tian was a little shocked.

Since he fell ill, countless doctors from the General Affairs Department have come to treat him, but no one has ever made him feel so comfortable.

Even Baizhu could only use bitter medicine to keep his body from getting worse.

And Wang Daoyi, with just a random pill, stopped his condition from worsening, and there was even a slight improvement.

It's incredible.

Uncle Tian sighed slightly in his heart, lamenting the gap between immortals and mortals. They really belonged to two completely different worlds.

"How do you feel?" Wang Dao, who was standing by, asked hurriedly when he saw the pain on Uncle Tian's face fade away.

Although Wang Daoyi felt that the lesion in Uncle Tian's body had shrunk and he dared not do it again, he still had to listen to the patient's own feelings.

Uncle Tian smiled and said, "Much better. After taking that pill, I feel relaxed. I don't feel the discomfort of holding my breath anymore."

Although what Uncle Tian said seemed to be good news, Wang Daoyi frowned.

There was a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"How could this happen?" Wang Daoyi looked at Uncle Tian and murmured, "This shouldn't be the case..."

Uncle Tian was confused by Wang Daoyi's reaction. What? My recovery is not right?

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with me?" Uncle Tian couldn't help but asked Wang Daoyi.
