This is also where Amber thinks she cannot beat Ningguang. No one understands this market better than Ningguang. She has worked her way up from the bottom to her current position of Tianquan. The experience she has accumulated during this period is simply unimaginable for ordinary people. Amber has a good business acumen, but it is obviously no match for Ningguang who has been immersed in this field for a long time.

The assets in Amber's hands came to Million Mora, and the dice in her hand were also replaced with eight-sided dice. After that, the dice would be replaced again every time it was multiplied by 10.

"This method of publicity is quite novel. Not only does it earn Mora, but it also expands your network of contacts and allows you to obtain a lot of first-hand information in the market. You can also choose the goods you like from the downstream as the source of supply at any time. It's a pity that you didn't choose to do business." Ningguang rolled the dice and calmly evaluated Amber's methods.

She originally invited this scholar here not for the purpose of simply meeting him. The 20% net profit she held was too high, and it was necessary to judge whether her own value was worthy of this 20% profit. If not, then she would have to choose a new strategy, but it seemed unnecessary at the moment - compared with her own talents, this 20% was nothing.

"Mora is right there, and I can make money from her anytime, but this opportunity to study at the Church of God is very important to me. The books stored there are as vast as the ocean, and I will definitely benefit a lot from them." The chess piece fell again, and Amber took the asset she had set her eyes on early in the morning - the Rock Tea House.

On the surface, this looks like a teahouse, but in reality it is a casino. The profits brought by such an industry involving the "grey area" are unimaginable to ordinary people, and the huge wealth it possesses allows Amber to invest and lend money, which is her area of ​​expertise.

"Mora is right there... That's a really good point." Ningguang put down the chess piece. She had accumulated a large amount of funds in her hands, but at this moment she suddenly spent half of them. This choice made Amber completely confused.

"It seems the guest has some knowledge of Liyue and knows the main business of this Yanshang Tea House, but... he is still a little behind me." The "private boat" that always stayed at the dock for a long time, but at this moment, contrary to its usual behavior, accepted Ningguang's employment. She went straight to a huge and magnificent ship floating on the sea.

"Zhudian Fang - if the Yanshang Teahouse is gambling in the gray area, then this Zhudian Fang is a place for pleasure. Without a certain wealth, status and connections, you cannot board this boat." Ningguang began to introduce, and Amber's face became solemn. If what Ningguang said was true, the people occupying this Zhudian Fang would only be rich or noble. If you can get in touch with them, then it is only a matter of time before you rise to prominence.

Ningguang had previously spent half of her chips in one fell swoop just to build relationships, board this Zhudian Boat, and make friends with all kinds of wealthy businessmen and powerful people. Now, she was exposed to the upper class earlier than Amber, and the situation was reversed in just a moment.

"It's indeed a good move." Amber's brows relaxed, and she admired Ningguang's decision from the bottom of her heart. Just as she expected, she could never beat Ningguang in business. Although Amber had many advantages in terms of capital, she had just come into contact with the "upper class". Ningguang was currently far behind in terms of capital, but this trip had opened up a way forward for her.

It was too late to go to Zhudianfang now, so it was better to continue on the current path. Amber took a deep breath and calculated various information in her mind. She had obtained a lot of secret information that only she knew through the Yanshang Tea House, and the same was true for Ningguang. Amber combined this information to make precise investments, and could also accurately select the "noble people" who were really important to her from various gamblers. Under the multi-pronged offensive, Amber's chips were increasing rapidly.

Ningguang, who has established connections, is now in a higher position than Amber. Her chips are growing at a faster rate. With first-hand information from all sides, she makes the most of every chip. Every roll will make the Mora wave bigger. This is how business is. After the initial accumulation of raw wealth, you need to do your best to make it "flow" and make it flow as smoothly and long as possible.

Soon after getting the Rock Teahouse, Amber's chips reached the level of tens of millions of Mora, and the dice were also upgraded to ten-sided dice. Ningguang spent some time and also got the ten-sided dice after 30 game days.

When the accumulated points exceeded 10 million, Amber got the final twelve-sided die. This time, the gap between Ningguang and Amber was greatly narrowed, and she also got the final twelve-sided die in just game days.

The gap between the two was narrowing rapidly. Up to now, they had had several open and covert confrontations in the game. From being ordinary businessmen at the beginning of the game to being able to set off a tsunami in the business world, it took the two of them only less than a year in the game.

Neither of them gained any advantage in those battles, and the development to this level can be said to have been done with zero strategic mistakes, but in comparison, Ningguang's performance was more "perfect".

The game has been going on for three hours now. What is in front of the two people is no longer just a small chessboard, but an ever-changing business battlefield. When the first year ends, the game will enter the final settlement, and the final winner will be decided at that time.

Bai Xiao was dazzled. Bai Wen and Bai Shi, who had already dealt with the matters instructed by Ning Guang, were also watching this game of chess. From the time this chess game was officially invented to the present, no one had ever been able to defeat Ning Guang, and even few people could form a rivalry with Ning Guang - even if she chose to let her win. For example, this person could still have one chip better than Ning Guang when the game was about to end. It was simply unprecedented!

"There is only one month left before the end of the game." Amber rolled the dice, and the size of the points determined the income from her marketing. She bought many entertainment venues and had good relationships with banks, but this was still no match for Ningguang. Her tentacles were everywhere, and Amber had a hard time dealing with Ningguang's attacks.

"It's time for the final decisive moment." During the conversation, Ningguang fully unfolded the game she had set up, like an overwhelming net that left Amber with no escape. This was also the final blow she would use to directly decide the outcome.

"It seems that my bet was right." Amber breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this. She threw the dice, and with the implementation of the last transaction, the originally flawless net was opened by external forces, and Amber escaped the disaster.

"From the perspective of the game, using the help of the Northland Bank can be considered a clever move." With the end of the game, Ningguang, whose plan had failed, smiled nonchalantly. After counting the chips, Amber finally won with a narrow advantage of 1000 chips. But if this was not just a game, Amber would have actually lost a lot of initiative. The Northland Bank was not a pushover. Amber was essentially cutting off most of her own retreat to block Ningguang's attack.

"If this is not just a game, then I am in a losing situation. If it is even one more day, I will lose in terms of chips. In addition, you showed mercy at the beginning, so it should be my failure." Amber looked at the chessboard with many flags erected and shook her head helplessly. Tianquanxing is worthy of being the leader of Liyue merchants. He has unparalleled dominance in the business world, which is difficult for her to compare with.

"In that case, let's call it a draw." Ningguang held the pipe in her hand and looked up to Amber in terms of social skills. So far, this was the first person who had tied with her. If she had known this, she should not have concealed her weakness at the beginning. But that would have been boring. Blocking Amber's development path in advance would have made the game quite boring.

"This game of chess is really enjoyable. It is much more exquisite than the previous ones." Bai Shi walked forward and put a coat on Ningguang. It was getting late now. The sky had become completely dark and it was a little colder.

"You are indeed a talented person to be able to compete with me in chess. If you are interested in seeking development after completing your studies at the Academy, you might as well come to Liyue." Ningguang implicitly expressed her desire to recruit people in her words, and Amber did not spoil Ningguang's interest when she saw this.

"Thanks to Lord Tianquanxing for his kindness, I feel that my trip is worthwhile to receive your praise. From now on, cooperation with you will definitely bring satisfactory benefits to both of us."

Avoiding the topic of going to Liyue and only mentioning "cooperation" was already an implicit refusal, but the words were polite without spoiling the other party's fun. Coupled with the initial compliments, Ningguang once again sighed in her heart about the comfortable atmosphere of this meeting - it was different to chat with smart and polite people.

"It's getting late. Baishi, please take the guests to rest. If they need anything later, please let Baishi or the other servants know." Ningguang stood up, and Amber followed suit. "I have some chores to attend to today, so I won't be with you any longer."

Under Bai Shi's guidance, Amber came to the room prepared for her. On the way, Bai Shi started talking to Amber. She was probably the most lively of the three secretaries. Amber didn't need to pay too much attention to etiquette when talking with her, and she felt a lot more relaxed.

Bai Shi talked about her admiration for Ningguang every three sentences, and was amazed that Amber could be so appreciated by Ningguang. There were very few people who could be invited to the Qun Yu Pavilion, not to mention being treated with courtesy by Ningguang and staying overnight in the Qun Yu Pavilion. This was an honor that many rich and noble people could not get even if they tried their best.

Seeing this, Amber just smiled and changed the subject. She was good at catering to others and not spoiling other people's fun. After walking all the way to the room where Amber would stay overnight, Bai Shi's liking for Amber actually increased a lot - probably no one dislikes such a sensible and polite person.

After washing up before going to bed, Amber took another look at the scenery outside the window and the exquisite furnishings in the room, then covered herself with the quilt and fell into a good night's sleep.

Chapter 60: Yuheng Star

In the Qun Yu Pavilion, just as the sun rose, someone knocked on Amber's door. After asking, they were servants who came to help Amber dress up. Ningguang was dressing up at the moment, and she hoped that she could have breakfast with her later.

Upon hearing this, Amber accepted Ningguang's kindness and tried to experience the time of sitting in front of the dressing mirror without having to do anything, just watching the servants help her dress up. To be honest, she was a little uncomfortable with it, but looking at herself in the mirror with eyeliner drawn on, light powder applied, and various accessories was quite novel.

"Sir, you have a very good foundation. I couldn't tell it yesterday." The servant who was lucky enough to witness the scene last night was combing Amber's hair. Amber had neglected to cut her hair in recent years. She only found a chance to do so some time ago. Now her hair has reached her shoulders. She plans to keep it at this length in the future. After all, she is not used to having long hair.

"I don't have much time to take care of myself in the Ministry of Education. There's nothing I can do about it." Amber responded calmly. She suppressed her discomfort in her heart. When she came to someone else's territory, she had to abide by their rules, otherwise it would be disrespectful to the host. It was just like now - last night she wore Fontaine's formal dress to the appointment. Although it was not considered impolite, it was still a bit inappropriate. So today Ningguang asked the servants to bring a set of clothes to Amber and asked the servants to dress Amber up well.

Amber has a very good foundation, and a little light makeup can fully show her charm. It is different from Ningguang's elegance and grace. It is an indescribable heroism and a very dashing posture. Even if she is wearing more feminine clothes at this time, it cannot hinder her charm.

But in Amber's opinion, this dress looked a little strange. She was used to wearing a top and pants together, the only exception was the scholar's robe. She had never tried such a cheongsam-like dress before. The slit of this cheongsam was much lower than that of Ningguang's, and the hem was very long. It had a black base and was embroidered with ginkgo patterns in gold thread. It looked very harmonious with Amber's current flaxen hair. Just looking at the clothes, it was very noble.

The legs under the cheongsam were covered in a black silk fabric that was very characteristic of Teyvat. This was the first time Amber had worn something like this. Her legs were well-shaped and looked even more slender against the fabric. Ningguang must have noticed this and chose to add stockings as a base to the cheongsam, eventually forming this combination that sounded quite strange at first glance.

The only thing to be thankful for is that Amber was not given a pair of high heels, otherwise she would go crazy and it would be difficult for her to walk.

Led by the servant, Amber came to the square table. There were only three dishes on the table, and a small bowl of porridge. Perhaps because it was breakfast, the dishes tasted light.

"After a little dressing up, she looks quite pleasing to the eye." Ningguang, who had just taken her seat, looked at Amber as she entered the room and smiled faintly. "It seems my taste is quite good."

Amber's skin was initially quite dark due to years of sun exposure in the desert, but later, as the environment improved, it gradually lightened to a wheat color. During the time she lived in the forest, it became much whiter. Although not as white as Ningguang, her arms exposed to the air looked quite white against the backdrop of the cheongsam - this was probably because Ah Ji never gave up taking care of Amber's body.

"I seldom wear this kind of clothes, so I'm not quite used to it." Amber walked towards the dining table with a rather spectacular pace. Seeing this, Bai Xiao pulled out a chair in advance for Amber to sit on.

"Then you have to wear it more often in the future, otherwise it would be a waste." Ningguang held the spoon in her hand, and it was unclear whether the word "waste" in her words referred to wasting clothes or wasting her natural good looks.

"I'll make a note of that." Amber listened to Ningguang's advice, but whether she followed it or not was another matter. She then turned her gaze towards Baixiao and said, "I know how to use chopsticks. I don't need to worry too much about the cutlery."

"It's rare to see guests using chopsticks." Ningguang sighed. As far as she knew, the Xumi people didn't have the habit of using chopsticks. Many dishes were even cooked with hands instead of cutlery. However, it was not appropriate to mention these here as it would seem disrespectful.

"Just so." Amber took the cutlery from Bai Xiao and looked at the porridge in front of her. It was thick but not too thick. A red date served as a garnish, and it had a unique aroma of grains. "It's said that Liyue is a country with a recipe book as rich as its history books. It seems to be true. The grains alone are of high quality."

"That's a fair assessment, but this breakfast is just some simple food. If I have the chance, I can take you to Liuli Pavilion and Xinyuexuan to try the food there. Although it can't compare to the chefs in my Qun Yu Pavilion, it's still remarkable." Ningguang's tone was very indifferent, as if Liuli Pavilion and Xinyuexuan were some unremarkable little restaurants.

Amber had heard a little about these two famous restaurants in Liyue. Liuliting was particularly good at "Li cuisine", while Xinyuexuan was particularly good at "Yue cuisine". These were the two major cuisines of Liyue. Whether it was Liuliting or Xinyuexuan, their reservations could sometimes be scheduled for several months later - but for someone in a high position like Tianquanxing, perhaps it was really no different from a small restaurant that they could go to whenever they wanted.

"In Liyue, some people always order golden crabs at every banquet, which seem to be rich and luxurious food. I don't agree with this. Why not try this boiled cabbage? It is made by simmering old chicken and pork bones over low heat for a long time to make a broth, and then pouring it over the fresh and tender cabbage with only the heart. I don't have a high pursuit of food, and I usually eat things like this." Ningguang picked up the chopsticks and reached for the round plate in the middle of the square table.

On the plate was a cabbage that looked very fresh and tender. At first glance, it seemed ordinary except for its tenderness. Ningguang only regarded it as an ordinary meal in her words, but Amber was not a person who didn't know the value of things. The key to this boiled cabbage was the broth. The broth in this plate must have been simmered over low heat for a long night to produce such a clear broth. All the essence of the old chicken and pork bones were condensed in this bowl of soup.

Ningguang wasn't saying this to brag, but rather out of genuine belief. As the pinnacle of Liyue, what kind of delicacies had she not tasted? These things that ordinary people wouldn't dare even think of were nothing more than a simple dish to her.

Seeing Ningguang pick up her chopsticks, Amber didn't wait any longer and picked up the chopsticks to enjoy the breakfast. Her eating manners were impeccable, which made Ningguang think of her even more highly. If such a person could work for her, it would be something she would have loved to have. Unfortunately, the other party was not interested in this, so it was not convenient to force her.

There is an old saying in Liyue, which goes, "Don't talk while eating and don't talk while sleeping." However, "don't talk while eating" does not mean don't talk while eating, but don't talk while eating to avoid food scraps flying around or choking. If you have something to say, wait until you swallow it before saying it. Ningguang and Amber also chatted casually during the breakfast break, and this rather relaxed atmosphere continued until the end of breakfast.

Bai Xiao, who had originally left before breakfast, hurried back. Seeing Ningguang motioning for him to speak directly, Bai Xiao explained the situation, "Lord Ningguang, Lord Yuhengxing has requested an audience, and his attitude is quite intense."

"...Again?" Ningguang's brows furrowed slightly upon hearing this. "Bai Xiao, tell Yuheng that I've already consulted the Emperor about this matter. Yuheng doesn't need to worry about it any further."

Before Bai Xiao could respond, the sound of commotion came from the passage above the spiral staircase. Ningguang's eyes flashed with helplessness. It seemed that today's matter could not be easily resolved.

"Swoosh!" A hairpin was stuck on the handrail of the spiral staircase, followed by a lightning shadow. The capable woman with purple hair pulled out the hairpin stuck on the handrail and looked at Ningguang at the bottom of the spiral staircase.

Amber also saw the appearance of the visitor clearly. She was a girl with a serious personality, as can be seen from her face. Her long purple hair was divided into two parts and tied up on top of her head to form a rather strange hairstyle, like cat ears. She was wearing clothes with blue and purple as the main colors, and a pair of black tights with gold patterns on her lower body. She climbed over the handrail and landed on the floor under the spiral staircase.

"Lord Ningguang, Lord Yuhengxing insisted on seeing you. We couldn't stop him. Please forgive us!" The guard who came over half-knelt on top. Ningguang glanced at the guard, then looked at Yuhengxing who looked like he had to get an explanation today, and waved his hand with a little tiredness.

"Go down."

"Yes!" The guards quickly retreated from here, and the rest of the strangers also left the vicinity. For a moment, only two of the Seven Stars of Liyue, three secretaries and Amber were left.

Faced with this emergency, Amber was about to leave so as not to disturb the meeting between Tianquan and Yuheng, but was stopped by Baixiao who received a signal from Ningguang.

"..." Amber had a bad feeling, but what could she do? She might as well just be a light bulb.

"Ningguang, the Layered Chasm Mine has been closed for six months. You promised to give me a solution for the unemployed workers. Do you still intend to drag it on until today?" Yuheng showed her rather sharp attitude from the beginning, but it was no wonder that she cared so much. Liyue had seven stars and eight gates. The seven stars referred to the seven people who managed Liyue, and the eight gates referred to the eight institutions. Yuheng, one of the seven stars, was in charge of land and construction, and she had been working in the "Land Affairs Department", one of the eight gates, to handle various official business all year round.

Originally, places like the mines were under the jurisdiction of Yuhengxing, and the modern Yuhengxing was an extremely serious person. Once she thought something was valuable, she would personally handle it. For example, in order to formulate a plan to improve the treatment of workers, she, as Yuheng, went to the scene in person under an assumed name and experienced the life of a worker for two months. During that time, she pulled a cart in the Layered Rock Abyss, rammed earth at the South Pier, and worked in a small restaurant. She was quite prestigious among the ordinary people in Liyue.

Now, due to the sudden closure of the Layered Chasm, many miners who originally worked here have lost their stable jobs and have flocked to various places to do odd jobs. Compared with their previous jobs, they are very unstable and their income is relatively tight. Yuheng has raised this issue to Ningguang many times, but Ningguang has delayed it for various reasons.

Today, she must get an explanation.

Chapter 61: Job Solutions

"Keqing, I have already consulted the Emperor about this matter. My previous excuses were simply because the time was not right." Ningguang gathered her thoughts and resumed her usual look of a superior, but Keqing clearly didn't buy it.

"Three days followed by another three days, a month followed by another month, and it's already been six months!" Keqing seemed to have accumulated a lot of resentment for this period of time, and her attitude was not friendly. "These things could have been solved a long time ago, why did they have to be dragged on until today!"

"You've been putting off this important matter for far too long, using the excuse of asking the Emperor for permission! Frankly, I can't stand your behavior. Instead of asking the Emperor for permission on everything, why not use this time to think of a solution? Besides, could it be that Mora..."

"I have guests from the Xumi Desert here too. Please don't be rude in front of them. As a Yuheng Star, your every move represents the reputation of Liyue." Ningguang's calm voice interrupted Keqing's words when she was about to call the Emperor by his name. Keqing looked around when she heard it, and then she realized that there was another person here besides the three secretaries.

And...she's from the Xumi Desert? Keqing's expression grew complicated for a moment, but she insisted on getting down to business first. "...Does the Emperor know everything? I don't think so."

Ningguang's sudden change of focus on Amber made Amber's heart tighten. She had previously sensed the curiosity and desire to explore herself from this Yuheng Star. As an outsider, she didn't want to get involved in the discussion between Tianquan Star and Yuheng Star, two high-ranking beings. It would be very troublesome to offend either of them.

"I will put aside your disrespect to the Emperor. I have not been as idle as you think during this period. I consulted the Emperor early in the morning, and the Emperor also gave me the direction to pay attention to next. I was just waiting for an opportunity. If you had not happened to break in at this time, this matter could have been resolved more peacefully." There was a hint of anger in Ningguang's eyes. In this Liyue, the faith of most Liyue people in the Geo King is unshakable, but Keqing is one of the exceptions.

She reasoned that while the Emperor had protected Liyue for a thousand years, what about the next thousand years? Ten thousand years? A hundred thousand years? Currently, many merchants in Liyue pinned their hopes on the Emperor's decision during the annual ceremony of summoning the immortals. The poor hoped to profit from the decision and rise to wealth, while the wealthy hoped this turmoil would not affect them.

In today's Liyue, this choice may be understandable. The Emperor's divine power is strong, and relying on him will allow people to have food and clothing without worries. However, Keqing always has worries about this. She believes that the current prosperity of Liyue is like a magnificent fortress on the beach, and it is not humans themselves who can decide whether the sea will rise.

From this, Keqing learned to question, question the Emperor's doting, question the people's laziness, and question the way society works. It is these lazy and cowardly thoughts that deny the meaning of the existence of the entire human race. But if human existence is meaningless, then why should they be loved by God?

This viewpoint always struggles with popular support. To others, a mortal's life span is but a fleeting moment in Liyue's history, so why worry about the fate of the gods? Keqing despises those who rely on the gods for everything. Don't they have their own hands and feet? How is this any different from beggars begging for food? It is precisely because of these lazy individuals that humanity remains inseparable from the gods.

Because of this, Keqing often behaves disrespectfully towards the Emperor, and sometimes even goes against him on purpose. Naturally, such behavior is bound to attract some criticism, but Keqing doesn't care. Many of the things she does are indeed for the good of Liyue. Many Liyue people know this very well, and those accusations are harmless after all.

"That's not what you said to me before!" Keqing's eyes were fierce, but in response to Keqing's words, Ningguang just waved her hand slightly.

"That's because you're always yelling and making too much noise. I didn't really want you to disrupt the peace of these Jade Pavilions. Judging from the way you forced your way in earlier, my decision was absolutely correct."

"You—!" Keqing was clearly no match for Ningguang in the verbal exchange, but she had no recourse against her words. Furthermore, her purpose for this trip wasn't to do that, so she let the argument go. "...Never mind. So, what solution do you want?"

Ningguang didn't reply. Instead, she looked at Amber, as if she wanted Amber to respond, or as if she was deliberately drawing Keqing's attention to Amber.

"..." Amber didn't know what to say for a moment. This was clearly Liyue's business, so why did it involve an outsider like her? She had no interest in these matters! But now that Tianquanxing had signaled for her to speak, she couldn't afford to offend her host.

Under Keqing's curious and inquisitive gaze, and Ningguang's suggestive gaze, Amber finally spoke: "I'm just an outsider. I don't know much about Liyue's situation. I can only offer some humble opinions. Please bear with me if there are any mistakes."

"It's okay, just tell me." Ningguang said, which dispelled Amber's last concerns. She thought for a moment and expressed her views on this.

"Master Yuhengxing's goal must be to resolve the series of problems caused by unemployment for the former miners. There are a series of measures in this regard, such as providing unemployment benefits and other support policies. However, these measures are ultimately only temporary solutions. Without stable jobs, the problem cannot be completely solved. So the answer is obvious: just give these workers a job."

"That's true, but Liyue currently doesn't have any way to provide a large number of jobs at once." Keqing sighed when she heard this. How could she not understand this? Amber just told her to rest assured.

"The crux of the matter is just as Lord Yuhengxing said, but this problem is not without a solution. There is a very suitable place right now that is in urgent need of a large number of people." Amber's words aroused Keqing's undisguised curiosity. Ningguang was also waiting for Amber's reply. She had previously confirmed this person's ability in business, and now she wanted to see the other party's ability in political management.

"Where?" Keqing's tone sounded quite anxious. She had been thinking about this problem for six months and naturally would not miss this opportunity.

"I think Lord Yuhengxing is familiar with the transportation method called an airship. I won't elaborate on this tool in detail. As far as I know, the Ikaros Airship Company has recently started manufacturing the first batch of Akhmar-class airships. Unlike the standard 30-meter-long Leonard-class airships, the Akhmar-class is a large airship with a total length of 50-100 meters. Such an airship naturally requires a larger docking area."

"Liyue is the undisputed commercial hub of the Seven Kingdoms. In the future, more and more airships will be heading to Liyue. Liyue already has ports for docking ships, but it does not yet have reliable ports for docking airships. Construction in this area is urgent." Amber proposed a solution based on the information she had. Building a large port for docking airships is no small project. It will keep the workers busy for a long time, and its construction will also bring many benefits to Liyue.

Ningguang's eyes flashed with admiration, and her evaluation of Amber was upgraded from a great talent to a prodigy. Not only could she invent something like refrigerant, but she also possessed such outstanding abilities in business and politics. It seemed that establishing a cooperative relationship with her with the 20% net profit was actually a win for her. Mora were common, but talented people were rare. Although she could not absorb her into Liyue, it was necessary to establish a good relationship with her afterwards.

"It's a good idea indeed!" Keqing suddenly understood. As a person from Yuheng Star, she knew best how many jobs the construction of the port could provide. Her tone became much more excited.

"These are just some humble suggestions from my side. I'd be glad if they could help you two." Amber mentioned the contribution her idea could bring with a very friendly smile. This attitude of doing practical things without seeking fame made Keqing look up to her even more.

"This idea coincides with mine. The only thing left is to choose a location. I have a humble request about this." Ningguang looked at Amber again, and Amber's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"Yuhengxing will be responsible for selecting the site, and I hope you, Naife, can come along and offer your opinions. We can also enjoy the sights of Liyue Harbor with Keqing." Ningguang's hand had returned to her pipe. "As for your reward, for the next four or five days before the airship departs for Xumi, I'll grant you my privileges at Xinyuexuan and Liuliting. You can dine there anytime, and I'll reimburse all expenses. As for accommodation, Yuhengxing will take care of that, how's that?"

Ningguang looked at Keqing. Keqing, who had obviously been at odds with Ningguang before, nodded contrary to her usual behavior after looking at Amber. Amber didn't know how to describe that subtle look. The first thing in it was curiosity, followed by pure affection, which was very strange.

"Then I will accept the kindness of Lord Tianquan Star and go with Lord Yuheng Star." Having said that, it would not be appropriate for Amber to refuse. Anyway, she had nothing to do in the remaining days, so this would be a good opportunity to try the many famous dishes of Liyue.

Keqing took Amber and slowly left the Jade Pavilion. Amber wanted to take back her clothes, but those clothes had been taken away for washing by the servants while she was enjoying breakfast. Ningguang probably saw that Amber was not very used to such clothes, so she asked Baishi to take out a black cloak that looked very valuable. This was a piece of clothing used to keep out the wind and cold, similar to a lace-up cloak, but with a pile fabric attached to the top. It looked like it was made of precious animal hair and served as a neck scarf.

The cloak was also decorated with gold thread embroidery, but it was not ostentatious and was rather elegant. After Amber walked out of the Jade Pavilion, she also knew why Ningguang gave her another cloak before leaving. It turned out that the temperature was a little low today, and the occasional wind made it really cold.

"Bai Xiao, go arrange for someone to repair the handrail damaged by Yu Heng, and remember to send the bill afterwards." Ningguang looked at the direction the two people left and slowly retracted her gaze. The purpose of her inviting Amber to come was just to get to know her and "incidentally" judge the value of this person. Now the purpose has been achieved, and Yu Heng is quite curious about the scholar from the Xumi Desert, or rather, he is quite curious about some things behind her, so it would be nice to do her a favor.

In addition, she also had some other purposes that she didn't hold out for very much, such as hoping that Yuhengxing could learn something from this person and change her impatient temper.

Chapter 62: Keqing is different from what we imagined

After landing on the floating stone, you will reach Yujingtai, where stand the Tuwusi and Yuehaiting institutions. Tuwusi is mainly in charge of civil engineering-related affairs, while Yuehaiting undertakes a job similar to that of a "secretary", serving as a lubricant between the Seven Stars and the seven subordinate gates. If the eight gates are to be ranked according to the number of opportunities to contact the Seven Stars, Yuehaiting is the well-deserved first among them.
