Her every gesture reveals an easy and elegant demeanor that makes people fall in love with her, and the delicate smile on her face is like a beautiful painting that makes people admire her endlessly.
A cheongsam with alternating colors of gold, white and black fits her curvy figure, and the perfect curves show the unique charm of women.
The hem of her cheongsam was shaped like a bird's tail, the collar was embroidered with brilliant golden phoenix patterns, she wore a white scarf around her neck, and her arms were covered in black sleeves with wide and long sleeves hanging naturally. The golden finger gloves made Yu Qi think of the characters in some palace dramas.
She was also graceful and elegant, incomparable. Looking the woman up and down, Yu Qi couldn't help but admire her in his heart.
Glancing around at everyone in the room, the woman took a step forward, with a hint of golden light appearing from her waist. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a fan-shaped decoration with a sparkling rock-attributed eye of God hanging on it as a pendant, which was very eye-catching.
The woman walked in front of the crowd with ease, and bowed slightly to True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng and True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang. Her seemingly gentle words were filled with undisguised pride.
"Greetings to the two True Lords, the Seven Stars of Liyue, Tianquan Ningguang is honored!"
"No need to be polite~" He waved his hand casually, and then Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun carefully looked at the woman in front of him and nodded slightly: "Are you the Tianquan Star of this generation? I heard that there is a rumor that 'Tianquan is the most respected among the Seven Stars of Liyue'. Now it seems that he is indeed a good person."
As an ancient immortal who has been around for thousands of years, Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng can be said to have watched Liyue being built all the way. From the first generation of Seven Stars to the present, she has witnessed countless people ascend to the position of Seven Stars.
There are naturally many outstanding people among them, and it is rare for Ningguang to receive a "good" evaluation from her.
"I don't deserve the praise from the Immortal Lord. It's just that my colleagues are being modest." Ningguang smiled slightly. She was not very excited by the praise from the immortal. Her eyes turned and swept across the people in front of her, finally falling on Yu Qi.
"This must be the boss Yu Qi of Azure Wish..."
Chapter 146: Ningguang’s Show of Good Will
"This must be the boss Yu Qi of 'Blue Wish'." Ningguang looked at Yu Qi with a smile. There was curiosity, doubt and regret in her scarlet eyes. The extremely complicated look finally turned into a hint of faint calmness.
"I have heard of your great name for a long time. Ningguang should have come here to have a chat with Boss Yu Qi a few days ago, but unfortunately I have been busy with mundane matters these days and have not been able to find a suitable opportunity."
"I just happened to come here today. On behalf of the Seven Stars of Liyue and the many soldiers of the Thousand Rocks Army, I would like to thank Mr. Yu Qi for selling us so many elixirs. Without these elixirs, the Thousand Rocks Army on the front line would have suffered heavy losses!"
“That’s not necessary.” Shaking his head, Yu Qi did not expect Ning Guang to bring up this matter right away. “It’s just a normal trading relationship. You provide Mora, and I provide elixirs. That’s all.”
"Azure Wish's business has never been targeted at certain individuals. Whether it's the Thousand Rocks Army, adventurers, or even farmers who till the fields and grow vegetables, as long as they can afford Mora, they can also buy health-recovery pills from me."
"So, don't feel that you need to thank me for anything. I don't think I deserve this kind of gratitude."
“But no matter what, the grace of saving my life is heavier than heaven.” Ningguang stared at Yu Qi with an extremely serious expression, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: “We, the Seven Stars and the Thousand Rock Army, are all grateful for this favor and will never forget it.”
"If we have the opportunity in the future, we will definitely do our best to repay your kindness."
"...Okay, it's up to you." Looking at Ningguang speechlessly, Yu Qi could naturally feel the sincerity in her heart, just like the Qianyan Army he met yesterday.
He was indeed grateful to Yu Qi, thanking him for being able to sell blood-recovering pills and body-strengthening pills on a large scale to the Qianyan Army.
Yu Qi was naturally deeply touched by this and felt quite satisfied.
Of course, compared to the Thousand Rocks Army's pure gratitude, Ningguang's emotions were a little more complicated.
In addition to gratitude, there seems to be some covetousness? No, to be more precise, it should be the idea of desire.
She wanted to get more "pills" from Yu Qi, not just blood-recovering pills and body-strengthening pills, but other pills with more magical effects.
He reached a cooperation with Yu Qi, and even tried to seize Yu Qi's skills and monopolize the business of these elixirs. He used his power and connections in Tianquan Star to promote them to the seven countries, thereby making his already wealthy "assets" even richer!
Truly realize his dream, or goal, of 'one day, letting the shadow of the Qun Yu Pavilion cover the seven countries'!
This thought popped up in Ningguang's mind from time to time, but it was always fleeting and she would force it down in an instant. As a Tianquan Star, she would not let momentary greed sway her behavior.
After all, everything is just limited to imagination and has never been put into action.
Therefore, even though he noticed these thoughts in Ningguang's mind, Yu Qi did not feel uncomfortable at all, and did not have any unnecessary resentment towards Ningguang because of it.
After all, up to now, Yu Qi has not met many people who can resist greed when faced with blood-recovering pills and body-strengthening pills.
Apart from those non-human gods or immortals, there are only Hu Tao, Xing Qiu, Chong Yun and Yun Jin.
On the contrary, Yu Qi actually admired Ningguang's attitude at this moment. In that moment just now, while he sensed Ningguang's mood, he also got a glimpse of the rough plan she had already thought of in her mind.
How to quickly promote the blood-recovering pills and body-strengthening pills and accumulate capital without allowing these pills to benefit the enemy.
If Ningguang's plan goes according to plan, in less than a year, she will be able to earn thousands of times more than Yu Qi, not to mention the connections, favors and even intangible political capital she will gain.
How should I put it? After seeing through Ningguang's thoughts, Yu Qi couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "What a strong woman! She is indeed a big businessman who started from scratch and ascended to the position of Tianquan step by step."
Comparing his current behavior with Ningguang's plan, which could only be called an 'idea', it was not even a small thing.
"In addition..." Not knowing that her thoughts had been completely noticed by Yu Qi, Ningguang stretched out her hand behind her. Then a secretary who came in with her walked forward respectfully and handed a scroll to Ningguang.
"I've heard for a long time that Mr. Yu Qi likes all kinds of rare minerals. These are some of my personal collection of minerals, as well as some precious ancient books. I'm giving them to you today as a gift to you for opening your business."
Smiling, she handed the scroll to Yu Qi. Although her words were gentle, they were firm and unyielding: "I had planned to deliver it on the day Mr. Yu Qi opened his business, but I didn't expect something happened and I was delayed. Please forgive me."
"Then I'll be honored to refuse." Glancing at the scroll handed to him by Ningguang, Yu Qi nodded and put it away casually.
Then he flipped his hand and took out a small jar of iron vine leaves and a small bottle of honey, and handed them to Ningguang: "I don't have anything good here, just some tea leaves and honey. Consider it a return gift. I hope Master Tianquan will not despise it."
"No, I should be the one thanking Boss Yu Qi for his generous gift." Seeing the return gift handed over by Yu Qi, Ningguang's eyes lit up slightly and she took it with a smile.
As a drink that Yu Qi often uses to entertain guests, although there are not many people who have tasted Hundred Flower Honey except a few acquaintances, Ningguang was able to easily collect information about Hundred Flower Honey with her ability - collected while collecting information about Yu Qi.
The taste is wonderful, and people will never forget it after tasting it. When brewing, there are hundreds of exotic flower scents, which are fragrant but not strong and pungent.
After drinking it, you can clearly feel that your body is much more comfortable. Not only has your strength increased, but even old illnesses in your body have improved... The most important thing is that the skin of those who have drunk it has become noticeably better!
There were some true and some false news, but it did not prevent everyone who had the pleasure of tasting it from praising it highly. Ningguang was naturally a little curious about it.
She even thought about "buying some from Mr. Yu Qi to try", but when she thought that this honey might be some kind of extremely precious "magic medicine", she thought that rashly buying it would probably make Yu Qi unhappy, so she gave up the idea.
But I didn't expect that today, just out of the intention of buying something good, I sent a small gift to Yu Qi, and I would actually receive a gift of flower honey from him in return. For Ningguang, this was somewhat of a pleasant surprise.
As for the tea, although no one knows what it is, but since it was put together with the Hundred Flowers Honey and given as a return gift by Yu Qi, it must be some incredible elixir!
Ningguang thought secretly as she handed the return gift to the secretary behind her with a smile and told her to keep it carefully.
Unconsciously, she seemed to have formed a vague idea in her mind that "whatever Yu Qi did must be something good."
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Yu Qi, Ningguang managed to get closer to him. Then, she looked up at the people around her and said, "By the way, who are these people?"
It was impossible for her to say that she didn't know anyone present. Apart from anything else, Ningguang had already investigated the identities of Alicia and Zhuzi.
Although she was skeptical about the identity of a certain pink fairy lady as a "country girl", Ningguang would not bother to delve into it unless it was necessary.
What really made her curious was the identities of Lei Dianzhen, Nashida and Wendy.
"According to the intelligence, these three people suddenly appeared two days ago. Two of them are said to be Yu Qi's cousins, and the other one... is a friend of Zhongli Keqing from Wangsheng Hall?"
Her fingertips moved silently as Ningguang recalled the information she had gathered in her mind, and she couldn't help but be amazed.
One is obviously from Inazuma, and the other is obviously from Xumi, but they are both cousins of Yu Qi, a Liyue native? Are they too lazy to find a good excuse to lie?
The most important thing is that, unlike Alicia, Ningguang cannot find any identity information of these two people.
This made Ningguang curious. What secrets did their true identities hold?
"Oh, them..." She casually introduced them to Ningguang. The information Yu Qi said did not surprise her.
"So that's how it is!" After greeting Lei Dian Zhen and the others with a smile, Ningguang did not choose to delve into it further. She turned her head to look at Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhen Jun and the others who were reading the information with great interest. After hesitating for a moment, she chose to get straight to the point.
"Oh, right, I just heard Mr. Yu Qi say outside the door that several True Lords came to Liyue Harbor this time to perform a ritual. If the ritual is performed in full, it will be a good thing for Liyue."
Seeing that Master Liuyun Jiefeng and the others looked up at her, Ningguang did not feel nervous. She maintained her charming smile and said calmly, "I wonder what kind of ceremony it is. Could you please tell me about it?"
"I think, as one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, I should be able to know this information, right?"
"This..." With their brows slightly furrowed, Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng and Zhenjun Xueyue Zhuyang couldn't help but look at each other when they heard Ningguang's request. Then their eyes inadvertently glanced at Wendy, who was sitting awkwardly on a chair beside them with a teacup in her hand.
Noticing the small movements of the two True Lords, Ningguang's expression moved, and her eyes involuntarily looked at Wendy, looking up and down at this casual bard.
"Uh, why are you all looking at me!" Feeling everyone's gaze, Wendy waved her hands in surprise and said helplessly: "I'm just a guy who provides information. How you modify the ceremony is your business."
"Since Lady Ningguang of Tianquan Star is interested in this ceremony, let her take a look. It's not something shameful to see anyway."
"Isn't that right, Miss Mei, Nashida?"
Lei Dianzhen and Nashida, who were standing by, had already started discussing quietly. When they heard Wendy calling their names, they looked up at him calmly and said, "This is the ceremony you provided. It's up to you."
"Well, in that case, here is the information about the ceremony. Tianquan, you can take a look at it too." After pondering for a moment, Master Liuyun Jiefeng flashed a light in his hand, and used his magic to copy a copy of the information and handed it to Ningguang.
"It just so happens that you are more familiar with the affairs of mortals than we are. The final implementation of the ceremony will require the participation of mortals. If you join in now, you may be able to offer some suggestions."
Of course, this is just to offer suggestions.
Watching the conversation between the few people, Ningguang's eyes flashed with a thoughtful look. She could naturally see the strange attitude of these two True Lords towards Wendy, Lei Dianzhen, and Nashida.
Awe? Respect? Both!
Obviously, these two are definitely not ordinary people!
"Could it be that one of them is an immortal who has transformed into a mortal and come to Liyue to experience the mundane world?" A thought flashed through her mind, but was quickly rejected by Ningguang.
'No, their temperament, clothing, and style do not match those of Liyue. Instead, they are somewhat similar to those of Mondstadt, Inazuma, and Xumi!'
Ningguang took the document handed over by Master Liuyun Jiefeng with a hint of respect and opened it while thinking to herself: "Haha, interesting, it can't be that the 'immortals' from other countries are coming here for a tour together, right?"
Her eyes fell on the document in her hand, and Ningguang was slightly stunned, and then her brows gradually frowned.
"Brew Festival, isn't that a festival in Mondstadt to celebrate the harvest?" Ningguang quickly scanned the document, skipping over the detailed information of the Brew Festivals held in the past, and saw the last part of the modified ceremony information provided by Wendy, as well as his requirements.
"Holding a ceremony through the Brew Festival and performing a sacrifice to calm the turbulent earth veins in Mondstadt?!"
Her eyes narrowed, and Ningguang raised her head and looked at Wendy solemnly, vaguely confirming his identity in her heart.
“This information…” After closing the file, Ningguang asked with a trace of doubt: “Logically speaking, shouldn’t the Knights of Favonius take the initiative to send a letter to the Seven Stars of Liyue, and then the Seven Stars communicate with the immortals?”
"Why would an ordinary bard like you take charge of this?"
The God of Wind has not appeared in the world for hundreds of years. Similar incidents have occurred between Mondstadt and Liyue in the past. Basically, the Seven Stars reported to the Emperor during the immortal summoning ceremony, and the Emperor then sent immortals to Mondstadt for assistance.
But this time...
Facing Ningguang's questioning, Wendy's expression did not change at all. She yawned lazily and said, "Because the situation in Mondstadt is a bit urgent."
"I also know the process you guys are going through. If we wait until the Immortal Summoning Ceremony, it will be too late."
"It just so happens that Mr. Zhongli and I are old acquaintances. I know that he has the ability to communicate with the immortals, so I took the initiative to volunteer with Captain Falga to take on this matter."
“Then, that’s it.”
"...Is that so? I understand." Ningguang let out a sigh, handed the documents to the secretary, then stood up and said goodbye.
"I need to go back and think about this matter carefully. I also need to notify the other seven stars to discuss it together. So I'll take my leave now."
As she said that, she turned to look at Gan Yu and said, "Ms. Gan Yu, please pay attention to this first. If there is anything, please send someone to the Qun Yu Pavilion to inform me."
"Yeah, okay." Ganyu nodded, and the confusion on her face faded away, returning to her usual capable look as a Seven Star Secretary.
"Well, the two True Lords, and everyone else, Ningguang will take her leave."
"Walk slowly!"
After waving goodbye to Ningguang and watching her walk out of the store, Yu Qi raised his hand and rubbed his brows, ignoring the crowd that had dispersed a little but still blocked the street.
He sighed and turned to look at everyone: "Okay, let's stop discussing this and go to the backyard."
"Also, Zhuzi, come and help."
"Huh? Oh, OK boss!"
"Backyard, is that the cave that Aping opened up for you?" Raising his eyebrows with some interest, Master Liuyun Jiefeng put away the information, stood up and urged impatiently.
"Then let's go quickly. I'm curious about how you did it to make Ping spend so much effort to open up a half-cave for you that is similar to the Chen Ge Pot. When I asked her before, she was hesitant and refused to tell me."
"Well, I didn't do anything." Scratching his head, Yu Qi had a strange expression on his face.
Maybe, it was because of the smoke?!
Of course, it is impossible to say this.
Just like that, Yu Qi led everyone into the backyard cave, and then...
"Choo Choo Choo……"
