In the Jade Pavilion, Ningguang sat quietly, listening attentively to the intelligence sent by her subordinates. After learning that the deputy envoy who came to Liyue with Alicia was most likely the Fontaine Water Goddess Funina, Ningguang quickly sent someone to follow her. Because of this, Funina's every move when she went out was under their control, and the whole picture of the attack was naturally in their sight.

"Lord Ningguang, after many observations, we can be sure that Miss Holmes must be the Goddess of Fontaine Water." The reporter's tone was firm, as if he was confident in this conclusion. Ningguang heard this, her eyes instantly became sharp and solemn, and she asked seriously: "So, do you mean that the explosion that happened before was caused by this deputy envoy?"

"Explosion? Oh... Lady Ningguang must be talking about that incident, but in fact, strictly speaking, it was not the deputy envoy herself who caused the explosion, but a cat under her command." These words made Ningguang a little confused. Cat? What kind of cat has such power?

After seeing the doubt on Ningguang's face, the spy began to tell Ningguang in detail about the scene when Funina was attacked: At that time, when Funina was attacked, the spy sent by Liyue to monitor and protect her should have stepped forward to help immediately, but his own strength was limited, and the other side was outnumbered, so he chose to hide temporarily and hide in the dark to observe the development of the situation. According to the original idea of ​​the spy, if Funina was really the water god, then with her ability, this group of people would definitely not pose a substantial threat to her.

However, what puzzled the spy was that at the beginning, Furninna looked just like an ordinary little girl; but when she was cornered by the Fatui Executor and had no way to retreat, the shield she formed easily blocked all the attacks of the lady! Especially the cat she summoned at the end - that huge and terrifying beast, even now when thinking about it, the spy still shudders involuntarily.

When Ningguang heard that the creature that caused such destruction was just a cat in Furnin's hand, her already solemn expression became even more complicated. Although she had not seen the cat with her own eyes, she could feel the terrifying atmosphere brought by the canned food just through the description of the spy. Judging from the strength currently displayed by Alicia and her group, it was obviously beyond their ability to deal with.

Finally, Ningguang took a deep breath and secretly rejoiced in her heart: Fortunately, Liyue has the powerful and invincible Emperor. After getting the information she wanted, Ningguang gently waved her hand, indicating that the spy could leave. After the other party left, Ningguang called in Bai Xiao, who had been waiting outside the door.

"This matter is of great importance. We must not let it affect the friendly relations between the two countries." Ningguang's voice was low and serious, with a trace of worry in her eyes. Baixiao stood respectfully by the side, knowing Ningguang's inner worries.

"So, how should we respond?" Bai Xiao asked cautiously. Ningguang fell into a brief contemplation, and after a moment, she said, "For the time being, we should keep our troops on standby and keep a close eye on their every move. At the same time, we should send more people to protect the safety of Alicia and others to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

Bai Xiao nodded, indicating that he understood what Ningguang meant. He knew that in this situation, they had to act cautiously and not act rashly. They needed time to observe the development of the situation and formulate the most appropriate response strategy.

"In addition, send an envoy to inform Ye Lan and order him to make full preparations and strengthen the monitoring of the Fatui. Never tolerate the possibility of the opponent making any unusual moves or playing any tricks. At the same time, order Ganyu to draft a detailed restriction order. From today on, all activities of the Fatui members will be completely restricted. Any behavior must be reported in advance and approved before it can be implemented. The reason for restricting their freedom of travel is that they dared to openly attack the Fontaine Mission!"

Ningguang sighed, and then continued, "In two days, the ceremony of inviting the immortals will be held. This matter is extremely important and must be properly arranged. In the meantime, I'm afraid Ganyu will have to trouble you."

Ningguang felt helpless. The pressure she had been under during this period was enormous. Not only did she need to personally preside over the ceremony of inviting the immortals, but she also had to deal with various complicated and thorny issues. Now, she could only place her hope on the Emperor, hoping that he would give her some guidance and enlightenment when he came this time.

Bai Xiao took the order and left. Ningguang was the only one left in the room. Ningguang leaned back in her chair and rubbed her temples. She knew that the next few days would be extremely busy. But she also firmly believed that as long as she was fully prepared, she would be able to cope with various challenges.

At this time, a breeze blew past, blowing the curtains. Ningguang looked out the window and prayed silently in her heart: May the Emperor bless me and everything go well.

After Alicia brought Funina back to Liyue Harbor, Funina was still a little depressed, so she asked Clorinde to send Qiqi back to Bubulu. Since that incident, Funina lost interest in going out to play, and hid in the base for two consecutive days and refused to go out.

During this period, Liyue sent a team to visit them and express their concern and care for the Fatui incident. The team also brought a message: the Fatui had been punished accordingly. However, Alicia did not receive another invitation from Ningguang. She understood that regarding the cooperation, she might need to get the consent of the Geo King before she could give a clear answer.

As a result, Alicia could not return to Fontaine for the time being and could only stay in Liyue and wait. She could not help but think of Villette who was far away in Fontaine, and secretly "groaned" in her heart. During this period of time, Villette might have to face all the affairs of Fontaine alone, but Alicia had no choice but to suffer for Villette.

In such a tense and expectant atmosphere, time passed quickly, and two days passed in the blink of an eye. Finally, the much-anticipated ceremony of inviting the immortals was held as expected under the watchful eyes of the crowd. At this moment, the entire Liyue Harbor was shrouded in a solemn atmosphere, and everyone's face was full of piety and awe, quietly waiting for the emperor to come. However, at this critical moment, Liyue Harbor unexpectedly welcomed two uninvited guests - the traveler Ying and her cute emergency food Paimon.

After hearing the news of the Immortal Invitation Ceremony, the two of them came from afar without stopping. They were exhausted along the way, but when they stepped into Liyue Harbor, they immediately felt the solemn atmosphere here, and an inexplicable excitement surged in their hearts.

Paimon said excitedly: "Great, it looks like we've caught up."
