Chapter 12 Follow-up
Qunyu Pavilion is a building that Ningguang has been building since he started doing business. After many years of construction, Qunyu Pavilion is now huge in scale, floating in the sky, and looks like a castle in the sky.
It is said that the Qunyu Pavilion was only the size of a room at first, but now it can cover the real bright moon over Liyue.
The world regards it as a symbol of Ningguang's authority and courage, and Ningguang himself thinks so too.
But Ningzhe knew that when he was traveling in Mondstadt and saw the brightly lit sky castle looming not far away, he also knew that this was the guiding light that Ningguang had established for him.
No matter where you are, as long as you look up to the sky, you can always find your way home.
——This is another reason why Ningguang built Qunyu Pavilion.
...
To be honest, this is Ningzhe's first time setting foot in Qunyu Pavilion.
Looking at the magnificent buildings, various cultural objects and furnishings with historical origins at first glance, Ningzhe remained calm on the face, but actually he was a little shocked inside.
This is much more exciting than in the game...
"Ningzhe, this is your first time on the Qunyu Pavilion. How do you feel?"
Ningzhe's appearance deceived 90% of the people in the world, but Ningguang was the remaining 10%. Now looking at his brother's expression that wanted to say "Wow" but was holding back, he couldn't help laughing for a moment.
"Do you feel it?" Ningzhe heard the words, straightened his expression, and then spoke seriously: "Looking down at Liyue Harbor from a height, you can see clearly all kinds of living things, and you can also witness the prosperity of the world. This is a kind of transcendence, and it is also a kind of
responsibility."
A smile appeared on Ning Guang's delicate face. She turned to look at Ning Yu and asked, "Ning Yu, it's your first time to visit Qunyu Pavilion. What do you think of this?"
"Of course we can't talk about opinions, but..."
Ning Yu smiled gently, and then said: "The ancients said that when you look into the distance and look back at the sky, you can use wise words when climbing high. This is the right way to describe the height of climbing to the jade pavilion."
"Haha..." Ningguang said helplessly: "You are still the same as when you were a child. You know a lot and you are full of quotations."
"Sister Ning is joking, how can I compare to your erudition and talent?"
Ning Yu smiled sheepishly, then pulled Ningzhe over and said, "What this guy just said was not from his heart. Do you want him to say it again?"
Ningzhe was caught off guard and was pulled over and glared at Ning Yu fiercely.
"oh?"
Ning Guang also looked at Ning Zhe with an expression of interest.
She also wanted to hear what Ningzhe was thinking.
"...When I see Qunyu Pavilion every night, I will think in my heart: Can every Liyue person see this star hanging high in the sky at night?"
After a moment of silence, Ningzhe finally spoke softly: "Now that I stand on top of this star, I realize that... no matter whether they are passers-by or tourists from a foreign land, they will stop and look at it, as if they have returned to Liyue Port.
"..."
Ning Guang's eyes became extremely gentle, and she subconsciously reached out her hand to touch Ning Zhe, but as soon as she made a move, she pushed her back.
not the right time yet...
With a long breath, the secretaries who had been waiting for a long time opened the door of Qunyu Pavilion and brought the three people in.
After walking in silence for a while, Ningguang led Ningzhe and Ning Yu to her private room.
"...You two should already know why I arranged for you to investigate Chuixiangmu, right?"
Ning Guang closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he had regained his composure.
There is no one around at this time, so there is no need to cover up.
"According to our guess, Qixing wants the Shi family to return to the officialdom. On the one hand, it can prevent the Shi family from becoming silent and disappearing into history; on the other hand, it can also serve as a reliable force to protect Liyue."
"...Of course, this is a very important point."
Ning Guang nodded and agreed with their statement.
"One of them?"
Ningzhe frowned, a little confused.
"You can guess this step is already very good. Just relax your sight a little bit..."
Ning Guang shook his head slightly, and then said: "The fragrant wood sent by the neighboring country Mondstadt contains the faith from [Wind God]. These powers are useless to us, but they are of great use to the immortals."
Immortal?
As soon as Ningzhe's thoughts changed, he thought of an aloof immortal.
"The Great Sage of Conquering Demons?"
Ningzhe asked hesitantly.
"That's right." Having said this, Ningguang still had a headache, "Due to the large movements of our Seven Stars in recent years, the immortals have become somewhat dissatisfied..."
Ningzhe nodded thoughtfully.
Ningzhe is no stranger to this great sage who conquers demons.
His name is Mandrill, a title given personally by Emperor Yanwang in the past.
As early as in an adventure in Jueyunjian, Ningzhe, who was still young, met the only Yaksha Immortal who was still fulfilling his contract. After saving Ningzhe, this Immortal actually fell in love with him.
He even wanted to send him to Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun to practice immortal magic.
Ningzhe, who knew the woman's character well, naturally didn't dare, so he had to find reasons to shirk it.
Because of this, Ningzhe also developed a relationship with the Great Sage of Conquering Demons - he also knew that this immortal was being corroded by karma all the time.
Ningzhe also heard Mandrill mention that once he was almost swallowed up by karma, and suddenly he heard the sound of a flute coming from the north, and the gentle music soothed his restless mind.
Ningzhe knew who played the flute, but it was not convenient for him to tell Mandrill.
And now that the relationship between the Seven Stars and the Immortals is tense, the Chuixiang Wood with the power of the Wind God is undoubtedly the best gift.
"So...the Shi family is just incidental?"
Ning Yu was dumbfounded, as if he didn't expect that what he and Ningzhe had put so much effort into was just a part of the plan...
"It can't be said to be incidental, because the Shi family's matter is related to Liyue's future. In fact, both are equally important."
Ning Guang shook his head gently.
"So...what do we need to do next?"
"you?"
Ningguang looked at Ningzhe in a funny way and said, "You only have one task next, which is to resist the businessmen in Liyue Port who are extremely excited about this matter."
"..."
Of course Ningzhe knew about this. He also knew that from now on, his Yunhai Bookstore would at least be a lot more "busy"...
After all, his current status is Lord Tianquan Xing Ningguang's confidant, and coupled with the scale of Yunhai Bookstore, he will definitely be a favorite among businessmen.
"But we can't resist those businessmen who have designs on the Shi family's land, right?"
Ning Yu remained calm.
"Of course, if I announce the results of the treatment of the Shi family in public, it will naturally make some businessmen with ulterior motives have plans..."
Having said this, Ningguang shook his head slightly with some pity, "Originally, this matter would have ended here, but these people still have to be sent in... Haha."
Hearing this, Ning Zhe was startled.
