Seeker of Teyvat

Hearing Uncle Tian's question, Wang Dao came back to his senses and shook his head quickly: "No, you are fine. The golden pill you swallowed just now has completely suppressed the disease in your body."

"I'm just wondering... the effect of this golden pill shouldn't be so simple."

"Hmm?" Uncle Tian's eyes lit up, and he asked hesitantly, "Is this pill very precious?"

"Precious?" Wang Daoyi laughed, then explained, "If we calculate it in terms of money, this pill can be considered priceless."

"But if we simply calculate the cost of the materials and labor for this elixir, it would only be a few hundred thousand Mora."

"This is a pill I made by imitating the immortal treasure, the Cloud and Mist Golden Pill. It is inspired by the pure spirituality of the primordial chaos. Normally, after taking this golden pill, you won't be able to regain your youth, but at least your hidden illness should be cured."

"But now, you are only feeling a little better. The disease is still lingering in your body. It's really... strange."

After listening to Wang Dao's long speeches, Uncle Tian understood some things, but he was also more confused.

Why is it that the disease is lingering in my body? This is called...wonderful?

Seeing Uncle Tian's confusion, Wang Daoyi smiled, and his face showed the friendly look unique to science popularizers.

"In this world, unless there is intervention from a higher power, any living thing should reproduce and evolve according to its ecological environment."

"Any living thing here actually includes the lesion in your body. Although we need to confirm whether the lesion is a living thing, it is consciously defending against the power of the golden elixir."

"This is not the behavior of a normal lesion."

"That's why I said something interesting."

After listening to Wang Daoyi's explanation, Uncle Tian finally understood.

Then Uncle Tian raised his pale eyebrows, revealing an expression like an old naughty boy: "Hey, you fed me this golden elixir, I don't have any money to give you."

"Huh? Hahahaha, no need, no need. This thing is just a test product. You don't have to give me money." Seeing Uncle Tian start to joke, Wang Daoyi also followed his joke.

Then, the old man and the young boy burst into laughter on the second floor balcony of the teahouse on the rock.

a long time,

Wang Daoyi stopped smiling, then looked at Uncle Tian and said, "Although the golden elixir suppressed the lesion in your body, this lesion is so strange that it is probably not a normal disease. You'd better go back and let Bai Zhu give you a full examination to completely eradicate the lesion."

Uncle Tian also nodded: "I know, after the selection is over, I will go to Bubulu."

Seeing that Uncle Tian had his own considerations, Wang Daoyi didn't say much.

The two chatted for a while, and the people in the teahouse brought up some fruits and snacks.

I guess it was prepared by the gambler dressed as a spy from the General Affairs Department.

I have to say that these spies trained by Ye Lan are still very outstanding.

Wang Daoyi felt a little sorry and wanted to take all these people to the desert. They didn't have to be spies, just being an ordinary manager would be enough.

In Wang Daoyi's regret, he chatted with Tianshu until the afternoon.

Until sunset,

Three tired figures came up from downstairs.

Seeing Ying and Paimeng followed Ye Lan upstairs with tired faces,

Wang Daoyi smiled and waved his hand: "I haven't seen you for a day. Why are you so...sloppy?"

She gave Wang Daoyi a white look without saying anything. She walked to the tea table and sat down alone. She poured herself some tea and took a few big gulps.

"Next time, no matter what you say, I will not accept your commission again. Investigating information is not something a human should do. I would rather face ten large tribes of hillbillies than to inquire about the news again."

On the other side, Paimon was already floating beside the table, holding a piece of cake in each of his little hands, eating left and right, and he didn't forget to complain: "That's right, not only am I tired, but I didn't even have food. I was hungry all day!"

"Oh, is it that tiring? It's just some ordinary intelligence gathering. This is how the General Affairs Department's spies spend their days."

Ye Lan poured herself a cup of tea, then waved her right hand, sprinkled some red powder into the tea, and then drank it all.

Wang Daoyi shook his head: "I still cannot agree with your habit of putting Jueyun pepper powder in tea."

Ye Lan shrugged indifferently: "Then don't agree with it. It's just a personal habit, not a big deal."

"Besides, you are here, not to see me for tea, right?"

Wang Dao curled his lips, then took out Ning Guang's warrant.

"Yesterday I heard about the Tianshu Star selection from Ying. I am interested in one of the candidates, so I hope to get some information to share."

Ye Lan looked at the warrant in Wang Daoyi's hand and confirmed that it was from Ning Guang.

Then he nodded: "Okay, then you just listen on the side."

[Next, Ye Lan and Ying shared the clues they collected today and organized them.]

Wang Daoyi and Tian Shu listened and nodded secretly.

Some of their previous guesses had been partially confirmed with the help of Ye Lan and Ying's intelligence.

A hint of coldness appeared in Wang Daoyi's eyes. Now that he had caught the tail, it would be much easier to catch the person by following the tail.

On the other hand, Uncle Tian had a look of disappointment in his eyes. Originally, what they had deduced was very unfavorable to Zhiyi. Now, except for the lack of direct hard evidence, all the evidence from Yelan and Ying's intelligence began to point to Zhiyi.

The child whom he once regarded as his heir was a blatant traitor.

After some twists and turns in my heart,

Uncle Tian's eyes gradually turned cold.

He looked at Ye Lan, and an inexplicable pressure appeared on him.

"Ye Lan, since the matter has been investigated to this point, the final hard evidence is also indispensable. Don't worry about my face, and don't worry about the consequences of failure in the selection. Everything will be borne by me. I need you to find this traitor."

"If necessary... you can kill directly!"

At this moment, Wang Daoyi felt that this seemingly ordinary old man was surrounded by the aura of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

As expected, as one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, none of them has an easy life.

Chapter 410: The Fools Who Are All Small Actions

Ye Lan nodded towards Uncle Tian, ​​who suddenly became majestic, with an extremely serious expression.

"Don't worry, Uncle Tian. If he is really a traitor, I will definitely catch him. If he is being used, I will teach him a lesson."

Although everyone was sure that there was something wrong with Zhiyi, Yelan still did not directly label Zhiyi as a traitor.

Instead, words like "if...really..." were used.

As soon as Uncle Tian's aura disappeared, he seemed to have returned to his normal little old man state.

"That's good, that's good, please Ye Lan."

Yelan shook her head: "It's my job."

After completing the communication with Uncle Tian, ​​Ye Lan looked at Wang Daoyi again and gave Wang Daoyi a look. Wang Daoyi nodded in response, and the two completed the communication.

"It seems that you also have something to say to me. Let's go and talk over there."

Wang Daoyi said to Ye Lan.

Yelan nodded: "Okay."

Without avoiding Uncle Tian and Ying, Wang Daoyi and Ye Lan walked to the corner of the second floor and started chatting.

"I found something wrong. When I went to investigate Zhiyi with Ying recently, my spies were not idle either. They found that the people in the Fools' Group were gradually becoming more active."

"And now, there are two major events in Liyue..."

Yelan's eyes were cold, obviously she didn't like the fools.

Wang Daoyi thought for a while and said, "Do you suspect that there are fools behind Zhiyi?"

"Yes, Zhiyi's reputation among the people of Liyue has been increasing recently, but most of his stories have no basis. This kind of propaganda method is often used by the Fatui, and... I suspect that the Fatui did not just contact Zhiyi, they may have a greater purpose."

"A greater purpose?"

Wang Daoyi pondered for a moment, and then an idea flashed in his mind: "You mean... the Fatui not only want to interfere with the Tianshu Star selection, but also want to intervene in more Liyue affairs?"

Ye Lan nodded: "Yes, the current executive of Fools in Liyue is [Rich Man]. I have fought against him many times. Although I don't want to admit it, that guy is very familiar with Liyue. If he is [Rich Man], Behind the scenes, his purpose is definitely not just as simple as the selection of Tianshu Star."

"Well, Pantalone is actually from Liyue, so he is naturally familiar with Liyue. However, when you say that, I have some guesses."

Wang Dao had a thoughtful look in his eyes. Originally, he didn't think much about it. He simply sensed that something was wrong with Zhi Yi.

But what Ye Lan said now, if the Fools were involved behind the scenes, then the purpose of the Fools must be as Ye Lan guessed, and it couldn't be just for the selection of Tianshu Star.

When they intervened in the selection of Tianshu Star, they essentially wanted to intervene in the operation of Liyue and lay their own nails in Liyue.

As for Liyue's current situation, there is another place where it is easier to bury nails than Tianshu Star.

Wang Daoyi and Ye Lan looked at each other and said in unison: "Tongwen Academy!"

If there is anything in Liyue recently that ordinary people cannot touch, but has a great impact on Liyue, it is the selection of Tianshu Star and the death of the old dean of Tongwen Academy.

The selection of Tianshu Star affects future Tianshu Star candidates. Tianshu Star is the think tank role among Liyue's Seven Stars and can completely influence Liyue's future development path.

Although Tongwen Academy does not have as much power as Liyue Qixing, as the largest educational institution in Liyue, it can really affect the future of this country.

Therefore, if there is any conspiracy being carried out by the Fools, and it is even more important than the selection of Tianshu Star, then there will only be the subsequent selection of the president of Tongwen Academy.

"It seems we have the same idea, so do you have any manpower arranged for Tongwen Academy?"

Wang Daoyi showed a smile. If Alhaysen or Nasida were here, he would know that Wang Daoyi was already interested.

Although we cannot directly attack the fools and erase them in the biological sense,

But now that we know the purpose of the Fools, we can just play with them and play with them.

West Germany in the desert also played this game with the Elchingen Chamber of Commerce.

"I have sent people to collect information from the gentlemen of the academy."

"Tongwen Academy has a special status. Although it is nominally an institution under the General Affairs Department, it is self-contained. If possible, we think it is best for it to be able to circulate itself, rather than sending a new dean from the outside to parachute in."

Wang Dao nodded: "It makes sense. Without the suppression of the old dean, many gentlemen will probably be interested in that position. If you send people to airborne, it may be bad."

"Yes, but I went to the Hall of Rebirth before, and Master Hu gave me a list of gentlemen who were willing to keep vigil for the old dean. I think... the new dean is among them." Ye Lan took out a list and handed it to Wang Daoyi.

After taking the list and looking at it casually, I found that several names were individually circled, and it was marked that these people had completed the wake meticulously.

"Ha, he's either a sage or a villain. Hu Tao's comments are quite interesting."

Wang Daoyi smiled. Although Hall Master Hu seemed unreliable, he could see clearly on the big issues.

How could a person who has been in charge of a thousand-year-old organization at a young age not have any thoughts, but just don't use them on a daily basis?

"Then those are the people." Wang Daoyi pointed to the circled names on the list and asked.

Ye Lan nodded: "Yes, these are the candidates. Since they can meticulously complete the wake for the old dean, they are either people with pure souls or people with ulterior motives, no matter what they are. The new dean will basically not be someone other than themselves.”

The old dean has 'ruled' the academy for thousands of years. The teachers and students of the academy are actually his students.

After the old dean passed away, the person who took over his position would naturally have the most respect for the old dean.

This is in line with the will of everyone in the academy.

These people who come to the old dean's wake, whether they want it or not, are automatically candidates for the next dean.

As for those who are capable but did not come to keep vigil, there is still a chance, but... it is not great.

This is the shortcoming of the Millennium Blockade Institution. Sometimes, human factors are more important than objective factors.

No matter how capable the others are, during the selection, if the opponent says, 'He didn't even go to the old dean's wake, how can he be qualified to inherit the old dean's position?', it will be a decisive victory.

To put it bluntly, Tongwen Academy has broken away from the management of Qixing in a thousand years and has become its own sect.

Of course, this is also the reason why Ningguang now wants to intervene in the selection of the dean.

She wants to bring Tongwen Academy back into Qixing's management system.

"Okay, you and Ying continue to investigate the selection of Tianshu Star. As for the academy, leave it to me."

Wang Daoyi wrote down the names on the list and returned the list to Ye Lan.

"Are you going alone?"

Ye Lan still remembered that Wang Daoyi was helping them, but somehow he was seriously injured.

"? Of course not. Give me some of your people over there." Wang Daoyi saw Ye Lan's 'distrust' and felt a little uncomfortable.

At that time, he was suppressed by the Ice Queen's finger. Until now, Wang Daoyi still has no confidence in completely blocking that finger.
