After leaving Wangshu Inn, Ning Yu went directly to the Privy Council location.

According to Jiang Xue, the Privy Council is located in the southeast corner of Liyue. It is in a remote location, but it is very close to Liyue Port. It does not take much time to reach Liyue Port quickly.

According to the instructions, Ning Yu quickly arrived at the Privy Council.

Along the way, in order to rush for time, he did not choose to pass through Liyue Port. Instead, he chose to take the mountain road and use immortal magic to arrive quickly.

This also led to the fact that he never heard about any major events happening in Liyue Port, and he didn't even know about the "passing" of Prince Yan...

The gate of the Privy Council is made of some unknown black and gray stone. From the outside, it looks simple and elegant.

There was no one guarding the door, it was just wide open, as if anyone could come in and out at will.

"..."

Seeing this situation, Ning Yu subconsciously took out the gray-clothed token that Jiang Guo had given him previously.

Is the Privy Council actually undefended? If so, then this token...

Thoughts kept flashing through his mind, Ning Yu waved his hand gently, applying a layer of [Er No Wind Listening] to himself, walked forward, and crossed the gate of the Privy Council.

I didn't feel anything, I just stepped through a door.

"...Tsk."

Is it really just an ordinary door?

This huge sense of disparity made Ning Yu feel that he was just competing with the air.

"Hello, Lord Huiyi...wait, who are you?"

At this moment, a man wearing a black uniform suddenly appeared next to Ning Yu. He first saluted very respectfully, and then when he raised his head, he realized that he had an unfamiliar face.

"I am not the gray robe of the Privy Council. This token..."

Ning Yu took out the token, put it in his hand, and said: "...It was just given to me by a friend. I need to go to the Privy Council to check some information."

"Given by a friend..."

The man in black murmured this sentence repeatedly, then raised his head and nodded.

"In that case... Your Excellency, please excuse me. Based on Hui Yi's qualifications, except for the top floor where you are not allowed to go, you can check out other places at will."

After saying this, the man in black pointed to a three-story pavilion directly in front of him, bowed slightly, and then disappeared.

"..."

Ning Yu frowned slightly when he saw the man in black using his body skills to escape.

Just by possessing the token, can he check the secrets of the Privy Council at will? This man in black didn't even suspect that he might have obtained the token by committing murder and cheating?

Hmm...forget it, let's just assume that the Privy Council has some way of detecting the information.

Ning Yu turned his head and looked at the building that the man in black just pointed at, with a dull expression.

Pavilion?

Then let me take a look and see what is hidden inside.

...

No one knows exactly how long the Privy Council was established.

Even for each generation of Seven Stars, what they know is only the specific functions of the Privy Council and the identity of each [White].

From a certain point of view, in terms of status, this Privy Councilor in white is no less than the orthodox Liyue Qixing.

[White Clothes] Like the Seven Stars, it changes every generation.

But how exactly this position is selected, no one except the gray man in charge of the Privy Council knows.

The Privy Council has no power to supervise Qixing's life and work. Similarly, Qixing has no power to manage or order the Privy Council... This organization is directly responsible to the Rock King himself.

But...to this day, with Lord Yan "falling", what changes will happen to this organization?

...

When Ning Yu walked into the pavilion, there was a scent of books coming out of the shop.

Um...

Interestingly, there is not a single book on the entire first floor. They are all copywriting files. They are accurately sorted and labeled according to time, place, and person. From seven stars to ordinary businessmen, there are records here.

"Records of Stone Trading Company, the Boss of Jie Cui Hang", "Movement of Personnel Who Cannot Be in Hong Kong in Three Bowls", etc.

However, Ning Yu did not see the files about Yunhai Bookstore on the first floor...

After a brief walk around, Ning Yu didn't find anything useful, so he had to go upstairs to check.

The difference between the second floor and the first floor is very big.

From the appearance, the decoration on the first floor is more of a normal decoration style, while the second floor is made of simple solid wood, and no sunlight reaches this area through the windows.

As for this level, Ning Yu glanced at it and discovered a lot of confidential content.

"Yunhai Bookstore", "Beiguo Bank"...

However, Ning Yu doesn't care about these things. What he wants should be in another area.

Hmm... In the corner of the second floor, a dossier of "The Night of the Ning Family Extermination" was quietly placed there, covered with dust.

...

[The Ning family is a prominent family in Liyue Port. It is not a small matter to be destroyed in one day... Whether they are Seven Stars or ordinary people, they all need an explanation. ]

[The Privy Council also had the same idea, and the contemporary Lord Yunfu in white took action personally, always guarding the ruins of the Ning family.]

[...Sir Yunfu himself has found some clues. However, Prince Yan suddenly sent an injunction, asking me to wait for the Privy Council not to investigate further. ]

[The emperor’s order is the supreme creed of the Privy Council, so... we had to stop, Lord Yunfu even gave up on the clues we had found before. 】

[But in any case, the clues are placed in this file. If anyone is curious about this, you can check it out at will. 】

...

[According to Lord Yunfu, the power buried in the Ning family ruins not only has a deep and elusive aura, but also has a power similar to that of earth veins...]

[That power seems to come from the earth's veins...but it's not exactly the same.]

[Successor, if you see this, you might as well try to find the truth. Prince Yan does not allow the Privy Council to explore the answer to the Ning family’s destruction. Naturally, he has his reasons, but... As a recorder, I still hope that this

The deputy dossier will finally have an answer.]

...

After reading the contents, Ning Yu gently put down the file with a strange look on his face.

Back then... was it actually the Rock King who didn't allow them to continue investigating?

Moreover, this matter is actually related to the earth veins...

From various previous clues, it was not difficult for him to deduce that the monster that appeared that night came from the abyss.

And now, this monster is available in the files recorded by the Privy Council and seems to be connected to the earth line.

Abyss and Leylines...

"Hello, Mr. Ning Yu."

Just as Ning Yu was thinking, a voice suddenly came from the stairs.

——To be precise, it came from high up the stairs, that is, the third floor, the top floor.

Looking back, Ning Yu saw the person who spoke.

Dressed in white, wearing a mask, his tone was very gentle.

"you are..."

Seeing this person, Ning Yu frowned subconsciously.

"My name is Yunfu, you should have seen it just now, right?"

The man went down the stairs to the second floor and walked up to Ning Yu.

"Of course, you are the legendary Privy Councilor in White?"

"Of course we can't talk about legends, but Baiyi is real."

Hearing Ning Yu's name, Yunfu shook his head in amusement, and then said: "Since you have seen the file, then... do you want to find out the truth?"

"That's why I'm here."

Ning Yu nodded slightly, not changing at all due to the status of the person in front of him.

"very good..."

Yunfu nodded lightly, took out an empty bottle from his arms, and handed it to Ning Yu.

"This object was given to me by the emperor in the past. It has the function of absorbing the breath of the earth." Seeing Ning Yu's puzzled face, Yunfu explained: "You only need to go to the Ning family ruins and seal it in that place.

Collect the breath and it will guide you to the next step."

"Absorb... ley lines?"

Although Ning Yu was a little confused, he still took the empty bottle.

"That's right. And...after you collect the aura of the Ning family ruins, you'd better go to Tianqiu Valley."

Seeing Ning Yu accept the bottle, Yunfu sighed and continued: "That place has not been very peaceful recently. I am restricted from leaving the Privy Council for some reason, so I can only rely on you."

"..."

Ning Yu looked at him deeply, then nodded slightly.
