Liyue, Yunhai Bookstore.

The distance between Qingyunding and Liyue Port is relatively far. If the average person walks, it will take more than two hours to walk, excluding the obstacles such as treasure thieves, fools and elemental creatures that may be encountered along the way.

arrive.

But a famous bard once said the truth: Flying is faster than running.

So Ning Yu, who flew all the way from Qingyunding, arrived at Liyue Port in less than an hour. In terms of time, it saved nearly three-quarters of the time it took to walk.

Because of this, when he returned to Liyue Port, it was not too late - at least Lao Cheng was still sitting at the door of the bookstore and taking a nap, and the bookstore hadn't closed yet.

When he saw Lao Cheng sitting at the door leisurely, Ning Yu became more doubtful.

Lao Cheng is the strongest person in the bookstore besides him and Ningzhe. Although he does not have the Eye of God, his strength is stronger than many holders of the Eye of God - if even he is not aware of the intruder,

If you enter, then it means that this matter is not that simple.

Either the intruder is strong enough to crush Lao Cheng, or the thief is particularly good at sneaking and can hide it from everyone...

To be fair, the possibility of the latter is almost zero. As a swordsman, Ning Yu is very aware of how powerful Lao Cheng's perception is. As long as someone with even the slightest malicious intent steps into the bookstore, he will be able to immediately detect the aura.

and determine its specific location.

And the possibility of the former...

If he is really such a powerful being, then it is impossible for him to be discovered by the formation he left behind...

To sum up, Master Ning came to the conclusion.

The formation in his room must have been accidentally triggered by a mouse or something else... Otherwise, who would go to his room to steal things!

The only valuable thing was a sword, but it turned out that the sword was heavier than a bow called Gongzang, and it could not be lifted by a swordsman who had not specially trained in strength.

He has only used it once so far, and after the battle with Dadalia, he never used it again.

"unless..."

Walking on the ladder leading to the second floor, Ning Yu paused as he seemed to think of a more reasonable possibility.

Unless Ningzhe comes back.

If he comes back, at least after learning that his room has been moved to Qunyu Pavilion, he will definitely go to the manuscript paper as soon as possible.

And he knew very well that the manuscript paper was definitely put away by him, the only one who knew about its existence...

"But if this happens..."

Thinking that his friend was back, Ning Yu's expression soothed for a moment, but suddenly solidified the next second.

If he remembered correctly, after all the things in Ningzhe's room were moved away, Hutao put a lot of things into this room. Originally this was against the rules, but who made Ningzhe not available, and as the second child of Yunhai Bookstore?

He agreed again...

"No matter what, their affairs have nothing to do with me...I haven't even finished learning the technique yet, so how can I care about them..."

After taking two deep breaths, Ning Yu's expression became determined and he took steps again.

However, as soon as he stepped onto the second floor, he saw another old acquaintance.

"Xingqiu?"

Seeing the young man at the end of the bookshelf, Ning Yu quickly took a few steps back and looked at the "Classical Love Zone" written on the bookshelf, feeling a little unsure for a moment.

Is this the Xingqiu who only likes reading martial arts novels? Why does he now like to hang out in the classical romance zone?

"Um?"

However, Xingqiu seemed to have just finished reading a page when he suddenly heard someone calling his name. He turned around and saw Ning Yu with a strange look on his face.

"Ning Yu? You're back. Is this training over?"

Seeing an acquaintance, Xingqiu closed the book in his hand with a snap, and then looked at him curiously: "I heard from Miss Yanfei that your practice today is to solve the riddle left by the immortal.

Ah...it is said to be very difficult, have you solved it?"

"Uh, well..." Ning Yu smiled at the mention of this, and then waved his hands helplessly, "That puzzle is not difficult in nature, but the complicated thing is that it requires you to run around...

.”

The key is not to worry about running around, but to climb mountains every time... He doesn't have the wings of wind, and with the magic he currently has, he simply can't go from one mountain to another.

And the scariest thing is that after solving all the puzzles, you still have to use the wind element to trigger the thing that looks like a clover...

He did not have the Eye of the Wind Elemental God, so he sat on the top of the mountain for nearly an hour before gathering enough wind elements to activate the mysterious instrument.

"Yeah..."

Seeing Ning Yu's expression, Xingqiu seemed to be able to imagine how troublesome this thing was, so he quickly shook his head and started another topic: "Speaking of which, the cultural exchange meeting at Dao's Wife has ended a long time ago. Even the two

The trade routes between countries have been opened...has Ningzhe not come back yet?"

"He, if we go by his original statement, then he did not come back." Ning Yu looked at Xing Qiu and said seriously.

"ha?"

Xingqiu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ning Yu suspiciously.

What does it mean that according to the original statement, he has indeed not come back? If not according to what statement, he has already come back?

"It's hard for me to say because he could be there right now."

After that, Ning Yu pointed to the corridor leading to the interior of Yunhai Bookstore. At the end of the corridor was Ningzhe's room.

"Is it possible? Wait, I'm a little confused..."

Xingqiu had already frowned. He didn't understand what Ning Yu was talking about. How could he learn such riddles after becoming a disciple of the immortal?

"Tsk... Just go in and take a look." Seeing this, Ning Yu also knew that he seemed to be unable to explain clearly, so he opened the door very simply and pointed to the corridor inside, "But I can't guarantee what will appear inside.

, it’s not surprising that that guy would bring something weird when he came back from Inazuma.”

"When you say that, I seem to understand a little bit..."

Hearing the words "strange thing", Xingqiu's brows suddenly relaxed. Since it was related to Ningzhe, Ning Yu's abnormal behavior became reasonable.

boom!

Suddenly, there was a sound of heavy objects falling to the ground at the end of the corridor.

If you listen carefully...it seems that not only is a heavy object falling to the ground, but there is also a very strange sound mixed in, like some kind of soft object "squeaking" and suddenly falling to the ground.

"..."

Hearing this movement, Ning Yu and Xingqiu looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

Regardless of whether it is Ningzhe or not, it at least proves that there is definitely someone inside...
