Some things I can't understand

"Then why did you hide the Immortal Ancestor's Fa Shedding? Doesn't this make people more suspicious?"

Ningguang laughed dumbly,"That day at Yujing Terrace, it happened suddenly and I was completely unprepared. You were there at the scene and should have seen it all."

"The enemies of the Seven Stars have long been lurking in Liyue Harbor. If no action is taken, they will be at a disadvantage."

"Hiding the Immortal Ancestor's Transmutation is a necessary move, so that I can turn light into darkness and use stillness to overcome movement."

Ying:"The enemy you are talking about is the Fatui executive, right?"

Ningguang looked at Yingmei with more admiration.

This traveler is really extraordinary.

Even though the young master has been around them, she has always remained vigilant.

Ningguang did not express her opinion, but the smile on her lips became more intense.

Paimeng also realized at this time,"No wonder the young master always suddenly appears when we are preparing for the ceremony to send the immortals."

"Could it be that he funded the Immortal Ceremony in order to obtain information from Zhongli?"

【You are not Paimon, who are you?】

【How could Paimon know all this? Shouldn't she be saying something nonsense?】

【Hahaha, that's too mean.]

Ying was very pleased,"Paimon has become smarter."

Ningguang did not continue the topic about the Fatui.

Instead, she changed direction,"Although the scenery outside is beautiful, the wind in the sky is still a little strong."

"The palace is ready to receive guests, please follow me in."

Ying knew that Ningguang represented the supreme power of Liyue.

Even in a private palace high in the sky, she would not talk about the Fatui in public.

Ying and Paimon turned around to follow Ningguang in.

But they found that Mu Yang was still staring at Guyun Pavilion.

"Mu Yang? What's wrong?"

Mu Yang didn't even turn his head, still staring into the distance.

"You go in first, don't worry about me."

Ying knew that Mu Yang could not be persuaded.

Maybe he remembered something, but didn't want to tell Ningguang.

So, Ying followed Ningguang into the palace.

Looking back every few steps.

On Mu Yang's side, he was trying hard to suppress his crazy surging thoughts.

It was too weird, he had known that the vortex demon god Osel was below.

He also knew that Ningguang was too optimistic.

The demon god was not dead, but was sealed.

But why didn't he have this feeling before?

He was now filled with rage.

He wanted to draw his sword.

What about Zhongli?

Why didn't he react when he was standing next to Zhongli?

He couldn't figure it out.

——————

Ying's side.

Paimeng asked quietly,"Mu Yang should be fine, Ying."

To be honest, Ying didn't know.

The two followed Ningguang and walked through the luxurious hall.

They came to Ningguang's office.

"You two can feel free to treat this place as your own home."

"I invited you here because I treat you as my friends. When friends come to play, of course, having fun comes first, so there’s no need to be restrained."

Paimeng was not restrained.

She flew directly to the ‘wall’ mentioned by the storyteller and started to watch.

Ying was a little worried that the money-grubber would secretly take one to sell for money.

It shouldn’t be the case.

Paimeng and Mu Yang were not there.

Ningguang naturally didn’t hide anything.

She wanted to gain Ying’s trust. She asked who was more trustworthy if she had to choose between herself and Keqing. Ying said directly,"Keqing. She is probably the only one in Liyue who dares to say such disrespectful words to the gods and immortals in public." Ningguang chuckled as if she had guessed the answer long ago.

"...Haha, you really would choose Keqing. I have this level of intuition."

"I originally thought that being too rigid would lead to failure. With her personality, to become a Seven Star, she would need me to take care of some things behind the scenes."

"But after she said,"The age of immortals has passed. If even the Seven Stars of Liyue dare not face this, what will happen to the future of Liyue?"..."

"Some of my doubts have been dispelled."

Ying had just heard Keqing say this this morning.

In this country where gods walk together, it does take courage and determination to say such things.

This is why Ying feels that Keqing is more trustworthy than Ningguang.

Ningguang continued,"I don't deny that the death of the Emperor seems to be beneficial to the Seven Stars."

"But for Liyue, I cannot let the rumors of"Seven Stars usurping the throne" hold me back from my actions."

Ying stared into Ningguang's eyes.

"Are the Fatui behind those rumors?"

Having come here, Ningguang no longer avoided the topic of"the Fatui".

"Um...It seems that you have completely understood what I am going to say from the beginning."

"I ordered the news to be blocked and the immortal body to be hidden, in order to temporarily stabilize the situation."

"Secondly, it is also to avoid...The same thing that happened in Mondstadt."

The Fatui have taken advantage of the death of the Emperor to carry out too many covert actions that go beyond the bottom line of diplomacy.

Ningguang said that as the"Heavenly Power" responsible for Liyue.

At this time, she no longer cares about whether the counterattack is elegant or not.

Approving the preparation of the"Send Immortal Ceremony" is just to buy some buffer time for the Seven Stars to fully take over Liyue.

Ying:"It is indeed as Mr. Zhongli said, the Seven Stars provided the venue just to achieve their own goals."

At this time, Paimon suddenly flew over

"Are you guys done talking? I have something to say"

"But you can say it."

Paimon rubbed his hands excitedly.

"I heard that guests who give a gift can get some benefits....Do we have a share then?"

Ying was speechless after hearing this.

He was still thinking about the benefits!

【Paimon plays with reality】

【《Stay true to your original aspiration》】

【Seriously, just let Ningguang finish the meal in front of you and take the box and the jade carving back.】

【Mu Yang: I can’t afford to lose that silver.]

Ying recovered and said,"Paimeng...Can't you say something else?"

Ningguang didn't mind. She liked people like Paimon who were straightforward and showed their thoughts on their faces.

"I have troubled you a lot recently."

She waved her hand generously.

"As an apology, you can choose one of my favorite things and take it away.

"Good! I've been waiting for this sentence - I've thought of it a long time ago!"

She pointed to the legendary wall

"I want the paper on that wall!"

Yingmei:???

Paimon:"Don't look at me like that, come here quickly."

Ying followed her.

Paimon pointed to the paper in the front.

"Look, there is a place marked with a red circle, and it contains information about the Fatui and the"Talisman of No Taboos"."

"Don't you have a"100-point taboo scroll" in your hand? Now we can investigate that guy"Young Master""

"Rather than choosing to believe Ningguang or Gongzi, it is better for us to go and see for ourselves!"

Yingmei was shocked and reached out to pinch Paimeng's face.

"Are you really my Paimon?"
