Genshin Impact: Can’t the executive just give up?
Chapter 129: Diverting trouble to the east
Of course, when it comes to assassinations, Rosaline cannot be blamed entirely. Under normal circumstances, the targets of the Fatui assassination are just some politicians and wealthy businessmen from the Seven Nations. Although those people also have bodyguards, how much stronger can they be?
But this time, the assassins of the Fatui have to face their executors. Regardless of the identity issue, the alchemy that comes from the "Golden" Rhinedort on Rhine is not something that ordinary people can deal with.
Although alchemy is a science, in the hands of those powerful alchemists, it has become a powerful force that is no less than the Eye of God.
In comparison, sending only two servants to assassinate Ningguang this time is indeed not enough.
Returning to the Jade Pavilion, Ningguang sat on the desk, looking a little tired. "The Invitation Ceremony is approaching, but the Fatui are becoming more and more rampant. It seems they are planning to disturb the peace of Liyue."
Rhine stood aside and said nothing.
Ningguang continued to think, “I just met the Young Master, and the next moment I was assassinated. This is too much of a coincidence.
The executive officer... he can't just sit there idle."
Seeing Ningguang begin to doubt the young master, Lai Yin tried to strike up a conversation: "Isn't it too coincidental? Your identities are so conspicuous, many people should have noticed it.
Those two kids should also be the killers. They are holding the evil eye of the Fatui, as if they are afraid that others don't know. Could it be that someone wants to kill you and deliberately put the blame on the "Young Master", or wants to use you to deal with the Fatui?"
Ningguang sneered, “In Liyue Harbor, there aren’t many people who dare to do this, unless they are the other Seven Stars, but they have no reason to do so. The Fatui have always been flamboyant, and such actions are in line with their style of behavior.
But what Mr. Bai said makes sense. I have already sent someone to check it out, and there will be news soon."
Ningguang sat there motionless, but she was not just resting, she was also waiting for someone.
With a click, the door of the Qun Yu Pavilion was opened. Without any assistant to lead the way, a slender figure in blue walked into the Qun Yu Pavilion alone and found Ningguang as if she was familiar with the place.
"Ningguang, the information you requested."
Ye Lan placed a stack of information on the desk in front of Ningguang, then sat down beside her, crossing her long legs in black leather pants, as if this was her own home.
"Young Master" and the various Fatui officials have indeed been making some small moves recently.
The ordinary Fatui are easy to check, but for "Young Master", I can only confirm that he is still doing his original activities in Guili. Apart from that, he has spent money in various entertainment venues in Liyue Harbor."
Ningguang checked Ye Lan's report and listened to her story.
She quickly read through Ye Lan's information and wondered, "Why is the "Young Master" always with that guest from the Wangsheng Hall, and using the funds from the North Country Bank to pay for him?"
The more Ningguang looked, the more she felt something was wrong.
As for Zhongli, since he was close to the executive officer, she had people investigate him many times, but the results of those investigations showed that this person knew a lot about the various details of Liyue and was very knowledgeable.
Other than that, there is nothing special.
But why would an ordinary person, whose job is just a guest official in the funeral industry, be favored by an executive of the Fatui?
Lai Yin leaned close to Ningguang, almost touching her face, and checked the information with her under Ye Lan's surprised eyes.
He interrupted Ningguang's thoughts and said, "This Zhongli seems to be very knowledgeable about the ancient ways of Liyue. He knows a lot about things that many people in Liyue don't know.
The "Young Master" hit it off with him from the first sight, as if they were drinking buddies. After arriving in Liyue Harbor, he often hung out with him, yet was very respectful to him.
Zhongli also knows Rhine, the brother of the executive officer "heretic".
Besides, the Fatui's behavior is extremely abnormal. They were normal before, but now that the Seven Stars Summoning Immortal Ceremony is approaching, they have become bolder..."
Ningguang narrowed her eyes, her ruby-like eyes staring at the profile of Rhine who was so close to her. "Mr. Bai, what you mean is that the Fatui intends to do something with the Seven Stars Summoning Ceremony by relying on Zhongli's research on Liyue?"
Lai Rhine ignored Ningguang's question, but turned to look at Ningguang and said to himself, "And Lord Ningguang happens to be the host of this ceremony of inviting the immortals."
"Having said that, it can indeed clear up a lot of doubts. I am indeed the person who knows the ritual operation specifications best among the Seven Stars. If I disappear, they may have more room for maneuver.
That "young master"'s activities in Guiliyuan..."
Rhine continued, "The Fatui deliberately invited you to Guiliyuan, and even boldly attacked you after you left. If it weren't for me, the sudden variable, you might have really fallen into their trap.
In that case, the suspicion of the Fatui will be unclear. This is the case with Guiliyuan, but precisely because of this, the Liyue authorities will focus on the abnormality of Guiliyuan, because there is a secret there that even the Seven Stars must disappear after knowing. "
"But I know that everything is normal there. My intelligence officer Ye Lan has also been there. Although he did not go deep, he did not find anything obviously strange..."
Ningguang's eyes widened. "Mr. Bai, what you mean is that Guiliyuan is just a cover, and the real focus should be on the ceremony of inviting the immortals?"
Ye Lan also came back to her senses. She still remembered that it was Rhine who risked his life to stop the "Young Master", but in addition, the executive "Madam" was also there. As long as she wanted, she would never be able to escape.
So is there a possibility that even without Rhine, she could have escaped by herself due to some coincidences, and this was not her own effort, but a deliberate act of the Fatui, with the purpose of letting her tell Ningguang about the Fatui's activities in Guiliyuan?
Ye Lan thought to herself: "The Fatui..."
Such a powerful enemy should not be underestimated.
Ye Lan came back to her senses and wanted to discuss with Ningguang, but she found that Ningguang and the masked man were almost cheek to cheek.
"Ningguang... Ningguang!" Ye Lan raised her voice to wake Ningguang up.
"Yeah, I'm listening."
Ningguang also noticed that she was too absorbed in her thoughts and got a little too close to Mr. Bai. She could even see a hint of red in his golden eyes that belonged to her.
Ningguang leaned back a little: "I didn't expect Mr. Bai to think of this."
Rhine didn't care much: "It's just that the authorities are confused. It's just that my position allows me to observe more."
"I want to discuss the next plan with Ye Lan. Would you like to join us, Mr. Bai?" Ningguang invited Rhine.
“I read a sentence in a book yesterday, ‘Do your job according to your position.’ You can discuss the affairs of Liyue among yourselves.” Rhine rejected Ningguang without hesitation and turned to leave.
His only responsibility was to divert Ningguang's attention away from the "Young Master" and he had no business taking care of anything else.
Even if Ningguang put all the Thousand Rocks Army into the Immortal Summoning Ceremony, it would have nothing to do with Rhine. At most it would cause some trouble to a certain yellow-haired traveler.
