Ningguang opened her mouth, but didn't know what to answer.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Bai."

In Ningguang's opinion, such a sign should be Mr. Bai's regret as an alchemical life, and it is something he is unwilling to face.

Rhine asked in confusion: "Why do you want to apologize?"

Although Rhine is indeed a true alchemical life, he does not have such obvious defects, so he naturally cannot understand why Ningguang apologized to him.

Ningguang explained, "I shouldn't have delved too deeply into the details of Mr. Bai's identity. I overstepped my bounds.

Now that the room is clean, I will go back to rest."

"Hmm." Rhine looked at Ningguang's departing back, thoughtfully.

Now, all the information that reveals the lifeblood of Liyue’s business and the countermeasures against the actions of the Fatui may have been written down by Ningguang on paper and placed in this huge Jade Pavilion.

But those were not what he needed.

Rhine is only responsible for considering Tartaglia's affairs.

After all, the Hundred Taboos Talisman is a magical item. The Fatui know nothing about this area, so they need enough time to research and imitate it.

And Rhine just wanted to give his contract more protection. Otherwise, he had no interest in playing role-playing games with this Tianquan Star.

He was just curious about when Ningguang would attack Tartaglia and what means she would use.

The bright moon sets in the west and the scorching sun rises in the east.

The streets of Liyue were still prosperous, and no one knew that Tianquan Ningguang, one of the most powerful people in Liyue Port, had narrowly escaped an attack and assassination attempt lurking in the dark yesterday.

"Ha~"

Rhine lay on the spacious bed, turned over, and glanced at the sunlight outside the window with great effort. He found it too dazzling and continued to recall the dream he had just had.

"Mr. Bai, it's time to get up. Lord Ningguang is going to discuss business later and needs your company." Outside the room, someone seemed to be knocking on the door.

Rhine looked outside the door in a daze again, and couldn't tell which assistant of Ningguang was shouting, so he had no choice but to get up, change his clothes, and open the door.

"It's Bai Xiao." As soon as Rhine opened the door, he saw Bai Xiao in dark red.

Ningguang's three assistants are very similar in appearance, voice, and clothing style.

Rhine had no choice but to distinguish their identities based on their hairstyles.

He could only pray that they didn't suddenly change their hairstyle, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to tell them apart.

"Mr. Bai, Ningguang has an appointment with a big shot in Mond today to discuss a business deal. I hope you can accompany her." Seeing Rhine get up, Bai Xiao reiterated the content.

"A big shot in Mond?"

Rhine was a little curious, as he actually knew some of the "big shots" in Mond.

Bai Xiao led the way for Lai Rhine and introduced him, "He said he wanted to discuss a deal to sell the black mud from the Layered Abyss. The merchant doesn't have much power in Mondstadt, but he does have a high reputation."

"Reputation... Do I know anyone from Mondstadt who is famous? Is it Diluc? It can't be Barbatos, that guy can only talk about the business of purchasing alcoholic beverages at most."

Bai Xiao's introduction made Rhine even more curious.

While they were thinking, they had already walked in front of Ningguang.

"You're here." Ningguang greeted Rhine gently, seeing that he was obviously still asleep.

Rhine answered subconsciously: "I'm here."

"I want to discuss a business deal today. Bai Xiao has already told you. Come on, follow me." Ningguang walked out of the Qun Yu Pavilion.

Their destination was the Liuli Pavilion.

"Ha~ Isn't it said that the Mond man has a great reputation? He won't attack you.

Besides, we are in Liyue Harbor, in broad daylight, who would dare to attack you?"

Rhine yawned and complained to Ningguang.

The implication is that even though the Fatui have targeted Ningguang, there is no need for her to be so cautious and even need to bring Rhine with her at this time.

Even when he was an executive, he would sleep until he woke up naturally, but now he had to be woken up by Bai Xiao.

"Ha~" Rhine yawned again.

Ningguang looked at Lai Yin's lazy appearance and finally suppressed the urge to yawn.

This kind of thing is contagious.

This "Mr. Bai" seemed quite aloof when we first met him, but now it seems that his true nature is beginning to be revealed?

Ningguang thought to herself, maybe Mr. Bai had just woken up and had not yet fully adapted to the way of dealing with people, so this was his true self.

Rhine followed Ningguang, half a body length behind, and walked into the private room of the Glazed Pavilion.

As one of the most luxurious restaurants in Liyue Harbor, the Liuli Pavilion’s private rooms are naturally well decorated.

Inside the private room, there was a long table in the center, and behind the table sat a young man with an mature look.

The boy had slightly long platinum hair and light blue eyes that were brighter than the clearest pool in Mondstadt. He was wearing a white robe in the Mondstadt style. Although it did not match the style of the Glass Pavilion, it was equally luxurious.

"Albedo?"

Rhine looked at Albedo who was sipping tea and almost called out his name.

Why did he come to Liyue?

Albedo saw Ningguang coming in and put down his teacup: "Ms. Ningguang..."

Rhine stood aside, watching Albedo and Ningguang getting close to each other, and remembered what Baixiao had said to him.

He doesn't have much power in Mond...Albedo is Mond's chief alchemist. Although he has some status, he is indeed not as powerful as the Grand Master of the Knights Templar and the Cardinal.

As for fame, the appearance of Albedo once overturned the Mond people's understanding of alchemy. With his alchemical abilities, he should indeed be very famous.

But Rhine didn't expect that someone with Albedo's personality would actually come to Liyue and personally host something like a "dinner party".

"This is my friend and bodyguard, Mr. Bai. Mr. Albedo, don't worry, he is trustworthy." Ningguang briefly introduced Rhine to Albedo.

"Ah."

Albedo didn't think there was anything wrong, or rather, he didn't care.

Although strictly speaking, he did come to discuss business, this "business" was somewhat special.

Some time ago, Albedo had a sudden inspiration and started studying Durin's abilities, and there was a kind of power that had many similarities with Durin's abilities.

That is the power contained in the mud produced from the abyss. Although the energy content in this mud is very small, it is somewhat connected with the abyss.

This did succeed in catching Albedo's interest, although his curiosity about those unique things was like the wind in Mondstadt, caressing people's cheeks the moment before and disappearing in the blink of an eye.

But now, he has indeed become interested in these things that the people of Liyue avoid.
