"but……"

Zhongli's sudden change of subject made Rhine feel a little heavy-hearted. Could it be that Prince Yan had any other requests?

“But Rhine, Liyue’s marriage law emphasizes monogamy, and it has been like this since ancient times.

I am no longer in charge of the world, but I still want to warn you that when you try to break the law, you must also think about whether what you do is approved by your partner.

If you fail, you will suffer the backlash of indulgence."

Zhongli still remembered that the General Affairs Department commissioner who had spied on him had an affair with Lai Rhine. Not only that, Tianquan Ningguang also trusted him very much.

It was hard not to associate Rhine's personality and actions with some strange aspects.

The most important thing in a relationship is loyalty. Obviously, Zhongli does not approve of Rhine's approach.

"Ah? Monogamy?" Rhine's answer seemed a little confused.

"Anyway, just remember my words." Seeing that Rhine didn't seem to understand, Zhongli didn't explain much. He lowered his head and drank tea. He didn't want to care too much about such things.

"I see. Liyue's monogamy means one lady and one wife, right?"

Rhine nodded in agreement: "I'll remember your words, Mr. Zhongli. I'll leave first then."

After saying that, without waiting for Zhongli to say anything else, Rhine stood up and left, leaving Zhongli holding the teacup, looking a little messy.

"A lady...a wife?" Zhongli was obviously confused.

"Should I explain it to him clearly, or is it just that young people nowadays think like this... Never mind."

In the end, Zhongli gave up thinking.

Yujing Terrace, outside Yuehai Pavilion.

As soon as the Seven Stars finished their discussion and left Yuehai Pavilion, they saw a man in a white robe wearing a silver mask, with his hands behind his back.

The breeze blew through his fluttering white clothes, making this mysterious man who was facing them sideways look like a master.

"Who is your Excellency?"

Keqing was the first to react, her tone somewhat sharp.

At this sensitive time when the Emperor passed away, such a strange and mysterious man blocking the door of their Yuehai Pavilion would only make people feel that he had bad intentions.

Hearing Keqing's question, Rhine turned his head and looked at the Seven Stars indifferently, as if these big shots who could call the shots in Liyue Harbor were not taken seriously by him.

“Could it be an immortal?

But it doesn’t look very friendly.”

The appearance of the visitor with seven stars in his sight was extraordinary, with a somewhat immortal demeanor.

"There's something fishy..."

Unlike the other seven stars, Keqing only felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong. She was always swift and resolute and prepared for battle immediately. Although she had not yet drawn her sword or made any preparatory movements, her body gradually tensed up.

Under normal circumstances, even if they saw strange people, they would not pay much attention to them, but now...

"He's my man."

Just as the atmosphere became increasingly tense, a calm female voice broke the silence behind everyone.

Ningguang looked at the scene in front of her and found it hard to understand. She had only left Yuehai Pavilion less than half an hour later, so how could she encounter such a scene?

In Ningguang's eyes, this strange-looking man who lived under the same roof with her was the familiar Mr. Bai.

But in the eyes of the other seven stars, this person was not only strange, but also had an aura that was far beyond that of an ordinary person.

"Hi, Ningguang!" When Rhine saw Ningguang coming, he walked straight towards her. Even the mask could not hide the smile on his face.

After parting with Zhongli, Rhine had been waiting for Ningguang at Yujingtai until Qixing went out.

But he didn't expect that instead of waiting for Ningguang, he waited for the other six stars.

Although he had played several Keqings in the past, he was not familiar with the real Keqing, let alone the others.

And judging from the faces of several people, Rhine always felt that they came with ill intentions.

However, just as he was hesitating about how to introduce himself, Ningguang appeared, saving him the trouble of talking.

When he saw Ningguang, Rhine regained his usual enthusiasm, and the cold attitude he had pretended to be because he didn't want to talk disappeared instantly.

"Ningguang, how was the talk? I noticed your colleagues looked so nervous, did they encounter any difficulties?" He stood beside Ningguang and asked with concern.

“Although the situation is not favorable for Liyue, it is not a difficult task.” Ningguang shook her head, and she also realized why her colleagues were so serious.

"This is my friend Mr. Bai. Although he is somewhat unique, he is not an immortal, and he will not be an enemy of Liyue..."

Ningguang introduced Rhine to the people present and mentioned the time when he saved her, allowing everyone to leave with peace of mind.

There's no way around it. The Qixing people's personalities are far from being ordinary people, but if they really saw an immortal looking for them to accuse them for no reason, they would naturally feel some pressure.

"Why is Mr. Bai here?" Ningguang asked.

"Of course I have nothing to do, so I came to see you." Rhine stayed beside Ningguang.

He just went to the Golden House to store the Immortal Ancestor's Dharma Transmutation. Logically, he should return to the Qun Yu Pavilion after finishing his work.

But Teyvat lacks indoor entertainment activities, and the technology tree has not developed much towards electronic equipment. He can't continue playing Liyue for a thousand years, right?

Rhine, who had nothing to do, had no choice but to come to Ningguang.

At least following Ningguang around is not only pleasing to the eyes, but also occasionally entertaining her and having some fun.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Bai, the situation in Liyue may change recently, and I may have to violate the contract..."

Just as Ningguang was about to say this, she saw golden threads coming out of Rhine's hands, interweaving into a brightly colored candied haws.

"You've been feeling tired lately, do you want to try it?"

Although he was wearing a mask, Ningguang could see a smile in his eyes and on his lips, which eased her still somewhat nervous mood.

"Thank you, but..." Although Ningguang didn't hate the desserts on the street, she really had no desire to taste them now. But when she was about to refuse, she suddenly remembered something.

“Yes, thank you.” Ningguang did not take the candied haws, but took the initiative to move closer. Seeing that there was no one around, she took one with her mouth, slightly tightened her cherry lips, and began to chew.

"It has the right amount of sweet and sour, the sugar coating is crisp, and it tastes pretty good." After eating it, she gave a fair comment.

"But I can't eat too much, so I may have to trouble Mr. Bai with the rest." There were few people around, and Ningguang was uncharacteristically gentle in her eyes.

"Yeah." Rhine didn't think too much about it, nor did he care whether there was Ningguang's saliva on the candied haws. He put it to his mouth and started eating.

The gate of Yuehai Pavilion was only a short distance away from the pavilion leading to Qun Yu Pavilion, and the two of them arrived there quickly.

Rhine followed Ningguang, waiting for her to climb onto the pavilion, but saw her suddenly stop after taking a step, then turned around nimbly with her hands behind her back.

"Mr. Bai, didn't I promise you that I would play with you for a while after the Immortal Ceremony?"
