Genshin Impact: What? The one we need to save is Fukaros

After leaving Dove Coffee Shop, Ningguang returned to Qunyun Pavilion in a daze.

When I opened the door of my room, I found Ye Lan was already waiting there.

“Ningguang, I’m really sorry,” Ye Lan said, her tone full of apology, “I did a terrible job of intelligence work.”

As a special intelligence officer directly under Ningguang, her recent performance has been disastrous. Not only does she not have any information about the Western Factory, she is also completely unaware of the fact that Kaiyang and other seven stars had borrowed a large amount of stored grain.

But Ningguang did not show any blame. She said calmly: "This is not your fault. The West Factory is much more powerful than we thought. Besides, you have to monitor the Fatui."

Ye Lan shook her head gently, "This can't be an excuse for me to shirk my responsibility."

Ningguang comforted him, "I know you have tried your best, and that is enough."

She paused for a moment, then cleverly changed the subject, "So, are there any new developments from the Fatui? That guy Tartaglia is quite active."

Ye Lan nodded, with a slightly depressed tone: "Have you heard about it too? This guy is not only active, but also flamboyant. He is just short of having the words 'I'm going to make a big move' engraved on his face."

Ningguang pondered for a moment. "He must have been placed in the foreground by the Fatui to attract our attention. We don't need to pay too much attention to him."

Ye Lan agreed with this: "I think so too. There must be someone else who is actually carrying out the Fatui conspiracy plan."

Ningguang continued, “I have a feeling that the Emperor’s fall is inextricably linked to the Fatui.

The West Factory seemed to have known this secret long ago and made careful arrangements accordingly.”

After listening to this, Ye Lan sighed and said, "If this is true, then Yide is really a terrifying person. It is not unfair for us to lose."

“It’s true that we didn’t lose unfairly.” Ningguang’s voice revealed a hint of bitterness, “It’s just that we lost miserably.”

Ye Lan could understand Ningguang's feelings because she also lost miserably.

Just as Kaiyang and others decided to burn the granary, the Western Factory had already sent this information to Ningguang.

And I didn't even notice it at all.

Ye Lan sighed softly, then asked, "Have you negotiated with Yi De?"

Ningguang nodded affirmatively. "He told me to choose only one between power and wealth."

After hearing this, Ye Lan asked anxiously, "What is your decision?"

Ningguang gazed deeply at Ye Lan, her best friend who had followed her loyally for many years.

She knew very well that if she chose wealth and gave up power, Ye Lan would inevitably be excluded from Liyue's future power system.

In addition, many people who rely on and trust themselves will be implicated.

Thinking of this, she no longer hesitated and made her decision, "Power."

After finishing his words, Ye Lan felt relieved.

In Ye Lan's opinion, Ningguang is the most suitable person to lead Liyue forward.

She said to Ningguang solemnly: "You made a very wise decision."

Ningguang felt a little lost, because wealth also had a very ordinary meaning to her.

But she quickly calmed down and said to Ye Lan in a serious tone: "Liyue is about to usher in a profound change. You'd better close your Yanshang Teahouse as soon as possible!"

Ye Lan was stunned. "Yan Shang Teahouse is an important base for us to collect intelligence. Why is it closed?"

"Because it involves gambling." Ningguang explained, "If you understand the laws of Fontaine, you will know that gambling is a serious crime, and the West Factory will directly invite you to have tea.

Of course, if you don’t mind going to Xichang for ‘tea’, you can continue to operate.”

Ye Lan tried to defend herself: "We were just gambling for fun in the Yanshang Teahouse.

Ningguang said unhappily, "Then go and explain to the West Factory! See if they believe in the idea of ​​a little gambling to amuse oneself."

Ye Lan was naturally not stupid enough to really explain to the West Factory what "small gambling for pleasure" meant. She waved her hand helplessly and said, "Forget it, I'll just shut it down."

Ningguang continued, “Also, tell Rouran, the owner of Zhudianfang, that if she doesn’t want to go to jail and work on a sewing machine, she should get out of here right away! The people behind her can’t protect her.”

There was obvious disgust in her voice.

Ye Lan smiled softly and said, “Perhaps, losing to Yide is not entirely a bad thing.

After several days of travel, Kong and Paimon finally returned to Liyue Harbor.

They found that the full curfew in Liyue Harbor had been lifted at this time, and even if they walked in front of the Thousand Rock Army, they would not be questioned.

Despite his surprise, Sora decided to head to the North Country Bank first.

He found Tartaglia and briefly recounted his experience of searching for immortals over the past few days.

When hearing the names "True Lord of Managing Water and Mountains, True Lord of Cutting Moon and Building Yang, True Lord of Retaining Clouds and Borrowing Wind...", a hint of excitement flashed in Dadalia's eyes.

He seemed to have seen the scene of a group of immortals coming together to attack Liyue Harbor.

But he quickly calmed down and said seriously: "After the Emperor's death, Ningguang's reaction was very intriguing. Not only did she block the news, she also hid the Immortal Ancestor's Dharma Sheath left by the Emperor."

"Ah!" Paimon exclaimed, "We originally came here to look for the Rock God. Now we won't be able to see him, right?"

Tartaglia smiled slightly and offered, "Don't worry, I know a friend on the road who can help you see the Immortal Ancestor's transformation."
