It's like a dream, like flying into the clouds, and like going deep into the bottom of a valley.

Ningzhe felt like he was flying in the sky, with the breeze blowing around him, sometimes as hot as flames, sometimes as cold as running water.

Although for Ningzhe, this kind of dream is something that can only be encountered but not sought.

Ever since he came to the continent of Teyvat, he has fallen into such fantastic dreams from time to time.

At first, Ningzhe was happy that this was his golden finger...

After all, some seniors can acquire some abilities through dreaming, why can't he Ningzhe?

However, this dream seems to have no other effect besides the fantastic feeling.

Over time, Ningzhe began to use this dream as a tool to relieve stress and relax...

"Oh? Why is it a little different this time?"

While "enjoying", Ningzhe suddenly discovered that in addition to the breeze, there was also some turbid rock and soil around him.

Geotechnical?

Somehow, Ningzhe stretched out his hand to grab the rocks and examine them carefully...

...

"Um...?"

Following several mutterings of unknown meaning, Ningzhe slowly opened his eyes.

First of all, this is inside the bookstore, not where he slept before.

Secondly...

“!!!!”

Then, he immediately closed it again, as if nothing happened just now.

Happy birthday!! Ningguang is really here!!

Next to Ningzhe, the laborer tremblingly saluted Ningguang, but Ningguang waved his hand indifferently.

Then, the laborer retreated respectfully, giving Ningzhe a look of pity before leaving.

According to Ningzhe's judgment, there should be no one else here except Ningguang and himself.

It seems that Ningguang also deliberately blocked the worker and secretary, probably guessing that he had woken up.

Of course, Ningzhe was so moved that he didn't dare to move.

"..."

After a while, Ningzhe heard the sound of the teacup being placed on the coffee table.

"There's no one around here, do you still have to pretend?"

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Lord Ningguang's voice was unexpectedly gentle.

"Yes, yes, dear Miss Tianquan."

Seeing that Ningguang took the initiative to break the window paper, Ningzhe had to open his eyes and looked at her expressionlessly, "I wonder if you have any important instructions when you return to the bookstore this time?"

"hehe..."

Seeing his brother's reaction, Ningguang was not surprised and chuckled twice, "If I don't have anything to do with you, I can't come to this bookstore, right?"

Then, Ningguang stood up, walked to Ningzhe, reached out and lifted a strand of his hair.

"Do you think that if you dye your hair black, you won't be my brother?"

Hearing this, Ningzhe let out a "tsk" sound, but did not stop Ningguang from stroking his hair.

Of course, this was for the sake of blood relationship, not because he couldn't beat Ningguang Ao.

"White is so beautiful..."

"What do you want to do?"

Seeing that Ning Guang seemed to be chattering again, Ning Zhe quickly interrupted, "Let me tell you first, don't ask me to write anything like "Rebirth of Liyue: I am Tianquan Unified Teyvat" and "I rely on eating Mora"

It’s a novel like “The God of Meat”!”

"How many times have I told you that this genre is a light novel from Dao Wife, and we in Liyue don't like it!"

When Ningzhe mentioned this, he gained courage and stretched out his hand to knock away the hand that was still stroking his hair.

Seeing this, Ningguang was not angry, but just smiled and said: "Really? I heard that you wrote a lot of novels like this when Inazuma was traveling."

"Let me think about it, "Let's work! General", "My miko can't be that cute"..."

"Hello!!"

Ningzhe's face turned red, and he stood up in anger, trying to shut up Ningguang.

However, Ningguang just flashed slightly and easily avoided Ningzhe. At the same time, he kept saying, "What's wrong? Didn't you mention your most satisfying masterpiece? I remember it seemed to be called "About Me"

The matter of entering into God's family"..."

"Sister! You are my biological sister! Can you not tell me?"

Ningzhe's defense was completely broken, and he curled up next to the chair, trembling all over.

"Um..."

Ningguang slowly sat down on the old man's chair and said to himself: "I think the idea of ​​"I become a god by eating Mora meat" is a good idea."

"Hello..."

Ningzhe's voice was hoarse, as if his head had been stuck in the ground.

"Don't you like the Mora meat I cook the most?"

Ning Guang was still smiling, with tenderness written all over her delicate and elegant face.

"..."

Ningzhe, who had been shaking all over just now, suddenly stiffened, and then slowly stood up.

Although her back was turned to him, Ningguang could still feel the complex emotions in her younger brother's heart at this moment.

"It's been so long since I've been back, this is the first time you've called me sister."

Ningguang's lips were slightly open, showing an indescribable feeling of loneliness.

"...Lord Ningguang, if you have any questions, please just tell me."

After a long silence, Ningzhe finally turned his head and bowed slightly, "If others know that Master Tianquan has a biological brother, those people hiding in Liyue will be restless."

This business-like tone sounded like he was really thinking about Ning Guang.

But only Ningguang knew that she had personally sent Ningzhe to travel in order to eliminate her weaknesses.

Speaking of traveling, Ningzhe's life could even be described as "wandering" a few years ago when Ningguang had not yet ascended to the position of Tianquan. After that, although Ningguang often sent people to send Mora, but in those years

The wandering life was engraved in Ningzhe's mind and he will never forget it in his life.

"..."

Ningguang also knew how much this incident had affected Ningzhe, but if she was asked to choose again, she would not regret it.

Although Liyue Port, where everyone does business, is prosperous, it is not so easy for ordinary people to survive. What's more, they are a pair of siblings who are powerless.

Of course... Ningguang will never say these words.

"...certainly."

After an unknown amount of time, Ningguang spoke again, "You are acquainted with Hutao from the Hall of Rebirth, so in your personal capacity, please inquire about the whereabouts of the "Exorcist Fragrance Wood" for me."

But this time, it seemed that she had turned back into the aloof Tianquan star.

"Exorcism fragrant wood?"

"Yes, this item is a gift from the West Wind Church in Mondstadt. Although I am not interested in this kind of thing, after all, it is a gift from an official organization of a neighboring country, so I can't refuse it."

"But since you are looking for it, it means that the "Evil-Expelling Fragrance Tree" is missing, right?"

"That's right..." After saying this, Ningguang stroked his forehead with a headache, "As soon as that item entered Liyue Port, it disappeared inexplicably... But since the name of this item is "Exorcism", then I think

The Purity Hall, which is in charge of funeral affairs, should know something about it."

"Then why don't you go find the alchemist?"

"..."

But this time, Ningguang didn't say anything, and just looked at Ningzhe meaningfully.

"Do you suspect that the alchemist did it?"

Ningzhe reacted immediately, frowned and said, "But in Liyue Port today, where is the alchemist who dares to openly offend you?"

Hearing this, Ning Guang shook his head.

"For alchemists to exorcise evil spirits, in addition to spells, the most important thing is the magic tools. And the "Exorcism Incense Wood" sent by the West Wind Church is just the best material for making magic tools."

"I see..."
