Coral Palace Xinhai's original plan was not complicated at all.

In essence, Haiqi Island is the weakest party in the game between all parties. She cannot lay out her plans in Inazuma City like Ningzhe does for a leisurely stroll.

In contrast, she must go to the most accurate position every step, otherwise it will bring unbearable consequences.

This is the resistance of the weak...although it is weak and dangerous, it is necessary.

For this reason, my heart has long been awakened.

Haiqi Island has received funding from mysterious forces and has been able to temporarily stabilize its posture. Coupled with the current armistice time, it should be able to ease the current tense situation...

Although she did not trust this [mysterious force], under the aggressive attitude of the shogunate army, she had no other choice but to accept this "gift" with caution.

How could she not understand that this was seeking the skin of a tiger, and it might even drag the entire Haiqi Island into a state of eternal disaster... But she had no choice.

But now...

After meeting Ningzhe himself, this third-party spokesperson who was completely independent of Daozhu's situation gave me another idea...

...

Daozuma City, Baiweiju.

Thanks to Ningzhe's profound research on food, such a swaggering group was able to find a restaurant with not many people but very good food during meal time.

The owner of Baiweiju is an uncle who was born and raised in Daozhu. He is taciturn, but his unique "Baiwei Noodles" are the best.

"Uncle Masahiro, I have free time today, so I'm here to taste your food again."

After arriving at the store, Ningzhe greeted the store owner in a familiar manner, then took a look at the number of people traveling with him, smiled and said to the store owner: "I have a few more friends today, so... Well, here are seven bowls of special Baiwei noodles.

Bar!"

"...Okay, please sit down. The 100-flavored noodles will be served shortly."

Uncle Zhenghong nodded. He didn't care who came to the store with Ningzhe. He just agreed softly and then walked to the kitchen.

After watching the uncle leave, Ningzhe returned to where the group of people were sitting.

"Although I haven't been in Inazuma for a long time this time, I'm very lucky. I discovered this uncle's top craftsmanship."

After sitting down, Ningzhe took the initiative to take the responsibility of pouring water. While pouring steaming tea for everyone present, he said: "Although this uncle was born and raised in Daoji, he made it

Food encompasses all things, and you can even taste the flavors of Mondstadt and Liyue."

"Let me tell you, all gourmets in the world have one thing in common. As long as they have a pure heart, they can make such delicious food...are you right?"

After pouring water for the last person, Ningzhe had just finished speaking. The time card was so precise that people even subconsciously doubted whether it was rehearsed.

"Well... you are right, at least I can't refute it."

After a moment of silence, Xinhai nodded first, acknowledging Ningzhe's words.

Yae Shenzi picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, nodded slightly, and made no comment.

As for Wulang and several other soldiers, most of them looked at each other in confusion, somewhat unsure of the meaning of Ningzhe's words.

Is this white-haired boy talking about delicious food?

It should be... it should be, but why do I always feel that there is something in his words?

"But there are exceptions to everything. At least I know a chef from Liyue. She is different from traditional chefs..."

Seeing Xinhai respond to him, Ningzhe suddenly became interested and continued: "If a chef like Uncle Zhenghong can make all kinds of delicious food without leaving home, she gets creativity by walking around and makes

A work that amazes everyone.”

"If there is a chance, I would really like to take you to meet her, and you will definitely have a good relationship with her."

Ningzhe looked a little excited, as if mentioning this matter made him a little happy.

"..."

And hearing Ningzhe's words, even Coral Palace couldn't help but feel confused.

What does he mean by this...

First of all, rule out that he is just chattering, because these words have a very strong direction. Although it is impossible to understand what he is talking about at the moment, if you think about it carefully, these words and wording are very sophisticated.

"If I have the chance, I certainly wouldn't mind getting to know such a strange person."

Thoughts kept running through his mind, but on the outside Xinhai still smiled and nodded.

"Awesome. Now then...oh, Uncle Masahiro, this time it happened very quickly."

Ningzhe was about to take this opportunity to say something more, but when he looked up, he saw an uncle with a dull face walking over pushing a dining cart. There were seven bowls of ramen that looked delicious, tasty, and perfectly placed on the dining cart.

"You are in good luck today. I caught some very delicious fish this morning and prepared them early... Please use them slowly."

Uncle Zhenghong nodded, and after saying this, he walked towards the kitchen without looking back.

"Oh, that's right...that's pretty good."

Ningzhe stood up immediately, walked to the dining car, and started distributing the noodles.

At this moment, the resistance soldiers, who had been silent and motionless, stood up quickly and walked to the side of the dining car as if they suddenly came to their senses.

"Ning, Lord Ningzhe, leave this kind of thing to us. You'd better sit down and have a good rest..."

Although the soldiers did not understand what Ningzhe meant, they believed that Mr. Coral Palace could understand, so...

Let them do this tiring work!

"Oh? Okay, then I'll trouble you."

Faced with the requests of the rebel soldiers, Ningzhe behaved very naturally. He took the opportunity to sit down and operated smoothly.

"Haha... Little guy, just say what you want. The surrounding area was blocked by your people three minutes ago."

At this moment, Yae Shenzi suddenly shook his head slightly and spoke with a smile.

"Really? I thought it was healed five minutes ago, but it seems Tianling Fengxing still doesn't trust me."

Hearing this, Ningzhe was stunned for a moment, then crossed his arms and said helplessly.

"Mr. Ningzhe?"

Xinhai took a long breath and then looked at Ningzhe.

She knew that all the previous reminders were over, and now the real negotiations between the two parties began.

"Hmm... Well, well, the time for friendly communication is over."

Ningzhe put down his hand and looked at Xinhai, a white light flashed in his eyes.

"Let me introduce myself again. I am Ningzhe, the Liyue Privy Council Acting [White]... If you can't understand, you can think of it this way..."

Ningzhe stood up and stretched out his hand. A wine glass on the bar nearly four or five meters away from him flew over in the next moment and was held tightly in his hand.

"The power I can use in Daozhu is no less than the power possessed by the Seven Stars of Liyue... Do you understand?"

Ningzhe gently shook the wine glass in his hand, looking at the sea of ​​his heart with extremely calm eyes, like a puddle of clear water without any ripples.

If Ningzhe was an enthusiastic boy next door before, he is now a planner who has been in a high position for a long time - majestic and mysterious.

Seeing such a strong contrast between the white-haired boy and the young man, Coral Palace was stunned for a moment.

"...I see."

But soon, she reacted and her expression was equally calm.

"So, what do you want the rebels to do?"

Xinhai saw very clearly that since Ningzhe had shown off his cards in front of her, the next step would be a situation where the resistance forces would have to cooperate even if they didn't want to.

"It's simple, very simple... I just like talking to smart people."

Seeing Xinhai's reaction, Ningzhe nodded with great satisfaction, then snapped his fingers.

The next second, the surrounding environment suddenly changed and turned into a secret room.
Chapter completed!
