After a short rest and adjustment, everyone walked towards the location of the return machine.

When they arrived there, everyone was stunned by the sight: an extremely huge crossbow appeared in front of them, and around it was a mess, with rocks and debris all over the ground.

"I didn't expect they could be so ruthless." Keqing said angrily, gritting her teeth.

Zhongli couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's damaged so badly..." He stared at the broken Guizhong machine in front of him, and an indescribable emotion surged in his heart.

Although this is an immortal mechanism, after thousands of years of wind and rain, it has become dilapidated and seems like it will collapse at any time.

Just as everyone was lost in thought, there was a loud noise suddenly. It turned out that Ruota punched the wall beside him, instantly making a big hole.

Inside the cave, various parts are neatly stored.

Seeing this scene, Keqing widened her eyes and said in disbelief: "There are actually these things here?"

"I guess this is some kind of storage room." Zhongli explained.

Upon hearing this, Keqing looked at Zhongli again. Not only did he know magic, he also seemed to know everything. Is such a person really just an ordinary person?

At this moment, Gui Zhong slowly stepped forward, bent over to pick up one of the parts, and examined it carefully. Then, she looked up at Gui Zhongji and said softly, "Let me try to see if I can repair it..."

On the other side, Qianyu, Fulin, Paimeng and Ying had already climbed up to the Qun Yu Pavilion.

They stood on this castle in the air, feeling the breeze on their faces, and Paimon looked around excitedly, marveling.

"Wow, I never thought that such a large building could float in the sky!" Paimon exclaimed with emotion. She looked over the railing and looked at Liyue Harbor in the distance.

Ying laughed and joked: "Haha, isn't Paimon floating too?"

Hearing this, Paimon pouted and retorted unconvincedly: "Hey, this is not the same thing at all, right?"

Qianyu couldn't help laughing as he watched the two bickering. He pointed to the Jade Pavilion under his feet and explained, "I guess it's a mineral called floating stone that's at work."

"This mineral is a bit like a magnet, creating a force field where like charges repel each other and opposite charges attract each other."

"In fact, we only need to install a piece of the same giant floating stone under the Qun Yu Pavilion and on the ground, and then the whole pavilion can fly."

Paimon suddenly understood what was going on and showed an expression of "I see." She looked at Qianyu with admiration in her eyes. "So that's how it is, Qianyu, you know a lot!"

"Hey~"

Just as everyone was talking, Ningguang's figure suddenly appeared behind them.

"We've been waiting for you for a long time, everyone."

"Hey, it's Ningguang." Paimon turned around and saw Ningguang looking at them with a smile, with two servants beside her.

“Although I had expected this, it was only when I stood in this castle in the air that I discovered that the ordinary Liyue Harbor also has a different artistic conception.” Qianyu exclaimed.

Hearing this, Ningguang smiled and said, "So you all like the Qun Yu Pavilion?"

"Yeah, I like it very much." Ying said.

“Well, it’s my honor to be appreciated by all the guests here,” Ningguang said modestly.

"But why did Ningguang invite us here? It can't be just to see the scenery, right?" Paimeng suddenly asked.

Ningguang smiled softly upon hearing this.

"Of course. In fact, the reason I can pay so much attention to you is inseparable from the acting leader of the Mond Knights who is far away. It was she who introduced you two to me." Ningguang said while looking into the distance.

"Are you talking about Captain Qin?" Paimon showed a hint of surprise when he heard that.

“That’s what Paimon said. Besides, if no one cares about the knight who saved Mondstadt in Liyue, wouldn’t it make me, a Tianquan Star, look very inappropriate?” Ningguang asked back.

"So, have you been paying attention to us from the beginning?" Ying suddenly reacted.

"In fact, my spies should have been observing you when you arrived at Wangshu Inn."

"Ah? Does that mean the owner of Wangshu Inn is Ningguang's man?" Paimeng asked.

"No." Ningguang said with a faint smile.

"In fact, the entire Wangshu Inn is full of our people."

Upon hearing this, Paimeng's computer crashed on the spot.

As she spoke, Ningguang turned her gaze towards Qianyu and Fulin.

"Although the acting leader did not mention you two, according to my ears and eyes, I still invited you two up. Please forgive me."

"It's okay, it's great to be able to come to Qun Yu Pavilion." Qianyu said with a smile.

"Then let's stop here for the basic introduction. Please allow us to talk for a moment about the next topic." Ningguang smiled and gestured to everyone. She turned around and pushed open a door, inviting everyone to enter the Jade Pavilion.

Everyone followed Ningguang into the Qun Yu Pavilion. As soon as they opened the door, they saw the magnificent interior decoration.

Countless precious gems and gorgeous decorations adorn the walls and ceilings, which makes people marvel. And around the hall, there are rows of neatly arranged bookshelves filled with various archives and books, which looks particularly solemn and dignified.

"Wow, I didn't expect that the inside of the Jade Pavilion would be even more exquisite!" Paimeng couldn't help but exclaimed.

“Haha, thank you for the compliment. In fact, when it was first built, the Qun Yu Pavilion was only the size of a room. But as time went by, I continued to renovate and expand it, and it has reached its current size.” Ningguang said proudly.

"Well, Miss Ningguang is really amazing." Ying nodded in appreciation.

Not long after, everyone followed Ningguang to an archive room. This archive room was smaller than the hall outside, but it was also decorated very delicately.

"Have you heard about the war between demons and gods two thousand years ago?" Ningguang suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, Ying and Paimon nodded, but Qianyu and Fulin did not respond.

"After that epic battle, many demon gods fell, and only seven victorious ones remained in the mortal world. They are now referred to as the mortal rulers, or the seven gods."

"They divided the territory among themselves, which formed the seven countries of Teyvat today." Ningguang's eyes tightened as she spoke.

"Demon gods will fall, and rulers will change. Now, apart from the deceased God of Rock, the only one left is Mondstadt's Wind God, Barbatos."

Hearing this, Ying and Paimeng glanced at Qianyu inadvertently, while he was staring at a wooden board covered with papers.

“No matter what, even if a new Rock God appears, we are still the people of the old Rock King. Do you think Qixing can bear the crime of assassinating a god?” Ningguang suddenly asked.

"But why did you hide the Immortal Ancestor's magic shell?" Ying asked puzzledly.

“Haha, the incident on Yujing Terrace happened suddenly. My actions seemed to be random, but in fact, they were meant to confuse people.” Ningguang lowered her voice as she spoke.

"To confuse the real enemy of Qixing."
