Seeker of Teyvat

"I once heard that when Ningguang just started to learn how to do business, she had already started to use her very limited income to prepare for the construction of Qunyu Pavilion!"

"At first, it was only the size of a room, but with constant expansion, it is now a palace of this size."

"This is her spiritual support as a businessman and Liyue Qixing, and it is also a reflection of her own life."

Grandma Ping's words were slow and powerful. Thinking of the disappeared Qun Jade Pavilion, that miraculous building, several immortals also showed a trace of regret and regret.

"The destruction of the Jade Pavilion for Liyue is of great significance to her. I think that such a level of dedication and sacrifice can at least be exchanged for a word of appreciation."

Hearing Grandma Ping's words, a smile appeared on Ningguang's face. She didn't mind the immortal's dissatisfaction with her, and she didn't regret sacrificing the Qunyu Pavilion. What she wanted was a bargaining chip to talk to the immortal.

"No, at this time I should say, 'At least it can be used as a bargaining chip in negotiations', which is more in line with my wishes!"

“…Ha” Grandma Ping didn’t expect Ningguang to say these words.

Ningguang paid tribute to Grandma Ping: "Thank you so much for being willing to say a few words to me. In fact, we all know the intentions of all the immortals, but we cannot give in!"

Ning Guang's words attracted everyone, and everyone looked at her.

"It's been three thousand seven hundred years... According to records, the immortals have signed a contract with the Emperor to protect Liyue for three thousand seven hundred years!"

"To this day, Liyue's mountains and rivers are as stable as a rock, just as they were thousands of years ago. This is an amazing feat!"

"But this does not mean that Liyue is still the Liyue of thousands of years ago." Ningguang changed the topic and looked at several immortal families with determination in his eyes, "Please don't just put your protective eyes on this land. Please also look at this city and everyone here!”

There was an inexplicable meaning in his eyes, and the voice of Zhenyue Zhuyang Zhenjun was a little cold: "Are you questioning the way we protect Liyue?"

The immortals on the side also looked at Ningguang, wanting to hear what she would answer.

Ning Guang shook his head and avoided the question from Zhen Yue Zhu Yang Zhenjun: "No offense at all, I just hope that all the seniors can think about Liyue for once."

"Oh, you are still commensurate with your seniors. Your seven-star juniors have no seniority in front of me!" Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng sneered.

Ignoring the two pieces of poultry emperor's provocation, he stared sincerely and slowly said: "This morning, I dreamed of the emperor."

"Huh?" Hearing the emperor, Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun's attention was immediately attracted, and he didn't care about provoking Ningguang.

"In my dream, I want to tell him that although we, the Seven Stars, are mortals, we also have a 'contract'. The accumulation of the Seven Stars of past generations means that each generation of Seven Stars will leave behind something worth inheriting."

"I also want to tell the emperor that under your guidance, the seven stars in the past have worked hard to survive in the human world, and have built a network of contracts each for 'trade'."

"But I didn't say any of this. I just looked at him silently until I woke up from the dream..."

It has to be said that Ningguang is a natural leader and is very talented in speaking. His emotional narration made all the immortals a little silent.

"Ningguang..." Paimeng was also a little touched and gently called Ningguang's name.

Ying: "Actually, everyone feels the same..."

Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun turned her attention to Ying and Paimeng. She already had some intention of giving up, but her arrogant nature prevented her from going down the stairs.

"As the saying goes, 'A bystander sees more clearly'. What do you want to say?"

Ying thought for a while and said: "Once a conflict arises between the guardian and the person being guarded, things will become difficult to recover."

Paimon nodded. "Yes, that was a story that just happened in Mondstadt...Tvarin, one of the Four Wind Guardians, was like that... Fortunately, it ended perfectly."

"At that time, the Wind God personally tried to stop their confrontation because He believed that confrontation would only leave scars in the hearts of both parties and would not bring any benefits..."

Yingye nodded and said, "Yes, this is what I learned in the 'free' city-state."

Ke Qing: "It seems that every family in the seven kingdoms of this world has a sutra that is difficult to recite."

Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun: "What you said is indeed a very simple truth. As immortals, we should not let the strangers who helped us laugh at us."

Seeing the looseness of several immortals, Grandma Ping, who knew what was going on from the beginning, persuaded again: "Okay, didn't Ningguang just say, 'Please take a closer look at this city and look at every person here. Human'? I have already tried this kind of observation, why don't you try it too?"

At this time, one of the survivors of the Qianyan Army couldn't help but came over and interrupted: "Fellow immortals, I apologize for not being able to perform the full ceremony because I am wearing armor."

True Lord Cutting the Moon and Building the Yang asked impatiently: "Who are you?"

"I am the instructor of Qianyan Army, Feng Yan, and I came here to express my gratitude to the immortals. I thought this battle would be our last battle. It was all the immortals who helped us that prevented our entire army from being wiped out."

"You immortals are showing great power, I am just an ordinary soldier, but I will definitely stick to the front in the future and will not let down the kindness of you immortals."

True Lord Xue Yue Zhu Yang was speechless for a moment.

No one knew whether it was Ningguang's arrangement or the power of fate, but a little girl of seven or eight years old suddenly jumped out from somewhere at this moment. The people of Liyue had obviously left Liyue Harbor long ago, and the power of the aftermath of their previous battle was not something a little girl could sustain.

"Huh? Why do you all seem so dejected? Didn't you just defeat the big monster?"

The little girl's innocent words softened the hearts of several immortals again, and their original anger for accusing them gradually dissipated.

Grandma Ping's expression changed, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she deliberately guided him, "Haha, aren't you afraid? Little girl, it was so dangerous just now..."

The little girl said innocently again: "Changchang is not afraid, because the uncles of the Qianyan Army are here, there are powerful adults with the Eye of God, powerful brothers and sisters, and all of Liyue... Everyone is here!"

"In times of danger, everyone is protecting Changchang. Normally, everyone prepares fun and delicious things, and makes the harbor more and more beautiful." The little girl recited the lines very naturally.

"Big brother over there, thank you for protecting Liyue Harbor! Come visit us next time during the Lantern Festival!"

Xiao didn't think too much about it, and said to the little girl who was talking to him: "There is no way to come!"

Little girl: “Ah?”

Xiao turned his head away regretfully: "There is no other way, because I am an immortal after all."

"Is that so? Then it's really not easy to be an 'immortal'." Seeing Xiao turning his head away with regret, the little girl sighed naively.

There was silence for a while,

Grandma Ping: "Look, everyone, this is what this era looks like. The country of the 'Contract' is still grateful to the immortals, but over the years, Liyue's problems, big and small, do not necessarily rely on the immortals to solve them."

"The people we call 'ordinary people' have fragile bloodlines, but they are also strong. The contract between God and Liyue has lasted for more than a thousand years, and now is the era of the contract between Liyue and humans."

Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun: "Forget it, look around, we are just standing in this port, and it seems that we are out of place in Liyue. What do you think, Liuyun?"

Master Liuyun Jiefeng: "Why are you asking me? I am not the one who led the army to Liyue Harbor to call for justice..."

On the other side, Paimon was very sensitive to the atmosphere and immediately noticed something was wrong: "Huh? The atmosphere over there seems to be different..."

Ying nodded: "Obviously, they seem to have been persuaded..."

Finally, Xiao looked at everyone, then glanced at the pavilion in the distance, chuckled and said, "Forget it, let's go back."

After hearing what Xiao said, Zhenjun Xueyue Zhuyang turned around and saw that Xiao had turned around and walked away for a distance. He couldn't help but shout.

"The Great Saint Who Conquers Demons?"

Grandma Ping smiled and chuckled: "Hehe..."

Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun: "Well, I understand what the Great Sage Conquering Demons means. The Liyue I haven't seen for a long time is indeed very different from the Liyue I remembered. I'm afraid that by the time we understand the new 'contract' here, you humans will have created a new atmosphere in Liyue. Forget it, it's better to go back, it's better to go back..."

Compared to Xiao who took a few steps to leave, Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun was more decisive than him. As an immortal who was born from a crane, he simply flapped his wings, and soon the people below could only see a black dot going away.

True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang: "... Never mind. If all the immortals are of the same opinion, I have nothing to cling to! But after the immortals leave, whether the Seven Stars of Liyue can cover the sky with one hand is still uncertain in my opinion."

The negotiations haven't even officially started and half of our family members have already left. What's the point of talking? I'm not going to do this anymore!

After leaving behind a threatening remark, True Lord Xue Yue Zhu Yang turned around and walked away in a very casual manner.

Grandma Ping: "Alright, alright, Xieyue, stop caring about this, old man. I think it would be better if we give the power of supervision to the people of Liyue..."

"???" Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun, who was the most angry about the death of Yanshen, was stunned. You guys are just leaving like this? Then was Yanshen's death in vain?

It looked back at everyone. It was the only immortal left here except Ganyu who had always been with the Seven Stars. What the hell was it doing!!!

"Hmph!" She snorted coldly and arrogantly, then flapped her wings and flew away in extreme dissatisfaction.

After all the immortals have gone away.

Paimon: "Huh, a crisis of a war between humans and immortals, this can be considered a peaceful ending, right?"

Ying: “I guess so.”

On the distant balcony

Wang Daoyi watched the immortals leave, then turned to look in the direction of the Northland Bank. He wondered whether the Emperor would be satisfied with this answer!

He let go of all the distracting thoughts in his mind and a hint of inexplicable meaning appeared in his eyes.

Then, the future of Liyue will be an era of human rule!

I just don't know how Ningguang will treat those who spread rumors when the emperor "fell".

Chapter 101 The Final Deal

After all the immortals left, Wang Dao felt relieved and turned around and disappeared on the balcony. He appeared here mainly because he was worried about the conflict between Qixing and the immortal. However, seeing Ningguang's arrangement, the immortal was convinced by her.

On the pier, Ying looked at the distant balcony in confusion, feeling like something was watching over her just now.

But if I look carefully, I can't see anything.

Withdrawing his gaze, Ying looked at Ningguang and Keqing: "Ningguang, Keqing, since the matter is settled now, let's leave first. We still need to help Zhongli complete the ceremony of sending immortals!"

Ningguang and Keqing nodded and did not do anything to persuade them to stay. Although the matter between the devil and the immortal was over, they still had more things to be busy with.

In the previous demon attack, although the Qianyan Army responded quickly, a large number of merchant ships were destroyed. In the defense against the invasion of sea monsters, a large number of Qianyan Army were injured or even sacrificed.

Like the Qianyan Army, there were also the Adventurers Association and many Liyue warriors who came to help, and they also suffered casualties.

Whether it was the destruction of merchant ships, the destruction of docks, or the casualties of Qianyan Army and adventurers, Qixing needed to deal with them.

The two watched Ying and Paimon leave, then called Qian Yanjun and the secretary of the General Affairs Department to start solving the problems after the disaster.

Ying and Paimon leave the dock.

"Ah, by the way, Master released the Demon God just to force the Rock God to show up!" Paimeng was flying in mid-air, as if he remembered something, "But the crisis was solved by us alone, so Lord Rock still didn't show up!"

Ying shook her head. She was also a little confused about the situation with the God of Rock, who was originally the protagonist of the Immortal Gifting Ceremony.

"I'm totally confused, but the most likely clue is the [Immortal Gifting Ceremony with No Immortal to Send] we're planning!"

"Then let's go find Zhongli. Didn't he say before that he should go back to the Hall of Purity first? Let's go to the Hall of Purity!"

Immediately, the two of them rushed to Shengtang.

On the other side, Wang Dao left the dock and went to Wanmin Hall to inform Xiang Ling and Master Mao that the disaster was over and they could rest assured. After being checked many times by Xiang Ling to confirm that he was not injured, he reluctantly left Wanmin Hall and then left alone. One person walked towards Feiyun Slope.

According to Zhongli's arrangement, it was time to go to Beiguo Bank to complete the transaction.

Ying and Paimon were much faster than Wang Daoyi, who was slow, and soon arrived at the Hall of Rebirth.

A ferry official stood at the door of the Rebirth Hall.

"We are here to see Mr. Zhongli. Can you inform us?"

Unlike Wang Daoyi who could come and go at will, Ying and Paimon were not familiar with this place yet, so they asked the officer politely.

With a polite smile on his face, the ceremonial officer shook his head: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhongli is not in the hall right now."

"Ah, nothing will happen to him!" Thinking of the previous battle with the devil, Paimon showed a trace of panic on his face.

Hearing Paimeng's exclamation, the face of the ceremonial officer of the Hall of Purity was uncontrollably speechless. Usually they were the ones who went to the Hall to tell others that something happened to others. Unexpectedly, someone came to the door of the Hall to say that something happened to the guest of the Hall of Purity today.

Although she didn't like Paimeng's guess, Miss Yiguan still provided the information politely: "Mr. Zhongli went out and seemed to be visiting Beiguo Bank."

"Bank of the North?" Paimon thought for a moment and immediately recalled this place, "Isn't that the territory of the Fools?"

Ying also showed a hint of dignity. In the previous battle, the constant stream of soldiers from the Fools had injured her several times, and now Zhongli had actually gone to the territory of the Fools.

There is no doubt that Zhongli and the Fools are a group, but he is a little worried about Zhongli, fearing that he will be kidnapped and threatened by the Fools.

Paimon also had the same worry: "Could he still not know about the Fools helping the Demon God attack Liyue? It feels very dangerous to go to the Fools' place at this time!"

After a pause, Paimon looked at Ying: "Although it is also very dangerous for us, Ying, we can't watch Zhongli being captured by the fools. We have to go and see!"

Ying nodded. Although they didn't get along for long, and although this person always ate and drank without Moura, Ying still believed that Zhongli was her friend and should save him.

The two left the Hall of Purity and quickly rushed to Beiguo Bank.

The Hall of Rebirth is located on Feiyun Slope, close to the edge of Tiger Rock, and Beiguo Bank, as a financial giant in Zhidong, is in the most prosperous area of ​​Feiyun Slope.

After rushing into Beiguo Bank, Ying heard a familiar angry voice.

"You actually said this is [cooperation between executives]? The so-called [cooperation] should at least involve the exchange of information..."

Looking up, it was Dadalia who was fighting her in the golden room. At this time, he was wrapped with many strips of cloth and was looking at a woman angrily.

"Haha... don't worry about it, young master. In the end, you ignored the deal and the calculations and just made a scene. Aren't you happy? It suits your style..."

As she was talking, the woman noticed some movement and turned to look at the door. "Wait, it seems someone you know is here."

"It's Young Master and Zhongli, and... you! You are the Fatui executive..." Paimon looked into the room and found that they were all people she knew, including the lady she had met in Mondstadt before.
