At Liyue Pier, Yuheng Xingqing has been waiting here for nearly half an hour.

Originally, Ningguang should have done this herself. After all, she personally invited the head of the Shenli family... But for some reason, today, she suddenly entrusted the reception to Keqing.

He disappeared from Qunyu Pavilion.

It was obvious that Keqing's work schedule had been decided today, and she would go to Tianqiu Valley to re-measure the land after dinner, but she didn't expect that Ningguang would suddenly "throw" the job to her.

Moreover, Ningguang had already prepared to recruit a large number of experienced craftsmen, and had arrived at Tianqiu Valley before Keqing... So Keqing, who had nothing to do, had no choice but to agree to the job of welcoming them.

As a result, the wait lasted for half an hour.

"..."

After half an hour of being blown by the sea breeze, Ke Qing's smile had almost solidified.

Also waiting for half an hour was Qianyan Army instructor Tou Fengyan standing next to her. However, this tough guy was not blown into this state by the sea breeze, and his expression was still very dull.

"Lord Yu Hengxing, how about you still..."

"It's okay. The agreed time is coming soon, and the shogunate's social minister should be arriving soon too."

Having said that, Keqing continued to look into the distance, and sure enough, she saw a huge Inazuma-style ship sailing towards us on the sea level in the distance.

The overall layout of this ship is different from most of the ships in Liyue. Compared with the overall grand style of Liyue, although the ship is large in size, it looks very delicate and smart.

At this moment, Ningzhe on the ship also completely saw all the personnel on the dock. In order to prevent there being spies secretly, he even used his mental power.

The powerful spiritual power swept through the entire dock, but there was nothing in the dark. Not to mention spies, there were not even children who liked to play around.

"Okay, it's stable!"

Ningzhe took back all his strength with great satisfaction, and then walked towards the bottom of the deck without looking back.

"Huh? Little guy, what are you doing down there?"

Naturally, Yae Shenzi also saw Ningzhe's movements, but even she couldn't understand the move of walking below the deck.

"It's very simple, I have to stay away... I will go back to the bookstore later, no one can stop me!"

With these words, Ningzhe got into the deck. He seemed to have used his mental power to completely block his aura.

"..."

After seeing Ningzhe's actions, Yae Shenzi shook his head helplessly, and then looked towards the Liyue Pier, which was getting closer and closer.

"Lord Palace Secretary, we will arrive at Liyue Port soon."

At this time, Ayato also walked out of the room. He put on formal clothes and looked like a noble young man.

"Tsk... Ayato, you don't look like you're going to participate in a negotiation."

The moment he saw Ayato Kamisato, Yae Kamiko's DNA seemed to have moved, and he immediately spoke with a smile.

"Haha...that's what Mr. Palace Secretary taught you."

Ayato also smiled and continued elegantly: "It's just a pity that coming to Liyue this time is not for negotiation...it's just an exchange between [friends]."

"Is that so?"

Regarding these words, Shenzi was naturally noncommittal and set his sights on the dock again.

"That's natural."

Ayato's expression remained unchanged, and he always had that smile that made people feel like they were having a spring breeze.

Shenzi seemed to have lost interest in his "yin and yang weirdness" and just looked at the highest place in Liyue Port. If she remembered correctly, that should be Yujing Terrace, where "Sister Ganyu" works and often

A place to stay.

...

Ningzhe was already squatting on the middle level of the deck, and could barely see what was going on outside through some windows.

Although the environment here is indeed not very good, it is much better than the fishing boat he was on ten years ago. At least there is no fishy smell...

Well, now we can see that Ayato and Kamiko have disembarked from the ship... They have already been in contact with Keqing and Fengyan... Okay, they are already chatting.

Ningzhe, who was hiding in the dark, was very satisfied with this progress, because based on his understanding, the resolute Keqing would soon take them to the official accommodation prepared for them in Liyue.

And looking at the expressions on Keqing and Fengyan, they seemed to have no idea they were on the ship...

Oops! Okay, I got it!

"The crew members are all my own. I just need to wait for them to leave and then I can start the next phase of the plan..."

Ningzhe stared intently at Keqing and Ayato who were having a conversation on the shore, while constantly thinking about the next countermeasures.

Although Ning Guang has not been seen at the port so far, to be honest, based on his understanding of his sister, she definitely cannot be that simple.

Maybe she's even ambushing him somewhere...

brake--

However, the next second, a green wind element flashed by, and a figure gradually formed next to Ningzhe.

"who?!"

Ningzhe stood up subconsciously, turned around, and saw the person coming.

"...elf?"

"Um."

To Ningzhe's expectation, the person who suddenly appeared below the deck of the Takumi turned out to be the Yaksha Immortal.

"What about you?"

When Ningzhe saw this old friend, he still didn't react.

"When you first arrived at Liyue Port, you used your mental power to scan the entire port. I happened to be nearby and felt this aura."

Mandrill's expression was as calm as ever. At this moment, he had his arms folded across his chest, and his aura was very stable.

"...So I came here to take a look, but I didn't expect you to be here."

"That's it..." After hearing this, Ningzhe suddenly understood.

This makes sense, after all, his mental strength is no longer the same as before, and that powerful and vast aura is enough to attract Mandrill, who is extremely sensitive to danger.

"But...since you have nothing to do, I will leave first."

Mandrill glanced at Ningzhe's body again, then nodded slightly, and then his figure gradually disappeared.

"Huh? You're leaving so soon?"

Ningzhe was even more confused when he saw Mandrill coming and going in a hurry.

"...Um."

Mandrill responded, and before his figure completely disappeared, he said something that surprised Ningzhe.

"Welcome home."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mandrill's figure disappeared here.

"Oh...that's right. I haven't been back to Liyue for a long time..."

After being stunned for a moment, Ningzhe nodded seriously towards the place where Mandrill disappeared, and then he looked towards the pier outside.

At this moment, Keqing and Ayato had already left the dock, and it looked like they had been gone for a minute.

"good!"

Seeing this, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Ningzhe's mouth.
Chapter completed!
