There is no doubt that Chongyun is the person closest to Liyue officials among the younger generation of Liyue alchemists.

Because he has a good friend named Ningzhe, and Ningzhe is the leader in the literary field of Liyue Port.

Of course, the more important reason is that Ningzhe is also the younger brother of the Tianquan Star of the Seven Stars of Liyue - even without this level of identity, the title of [Permanent Diplomatic Envoy] is enough to indicate his identity.

According to common sense, for this reason, Chongyun should also be the target of being attracted by the alchemist family.

At the very least, members who are close to Liyue officials will win over him. After all, he can directly talk to the highest level of Liyue.

This is indeed the case.

Chongyun's family is not from the Shi family, so its status in the alchemist family is not as good as that of the Shi family. In the past years, the Shi family did not give them much help.

At this time, the offensive and defensive situation changed, and the powerful family wanted to win over an ordinary alchemist family...

Regarding this, the elders in Chongyun's family have very simple ideas.

——No matter what choice Chongyun makes, they will support it and spare no effort to support it.

They believe that the young man they have high hopes for can make a decision that they will not regret, even if this decision is not in the interests of the family's development.

So Chongyun made a choice.

The conditions given by the Alchemist Family are: as long as Chongyun can provide direct or indirect communication channels with Lord Tianquanxing, they will support Chongyun to squeeze into the core layer of the family. When Chongyun gets older, they can also recommend him to become a member of the family.

The highest decision-making level.

Chongyun’s answer was: [Sorry, I’m still young and lack strength, so it’s hard for me to take on big responsibilities. 】

After this conversation, there was no doubt that Chongyun and his family were ostracized by the entire Shi family.

The faction close to Liyue officials did not like them because Chongyun refused this condition.

The faction that opposes Liyue officials also dislikes them because Chongyun has a close relationship with Liyue's senior officials.

The days caught in the middle were very difficult, and during this period many people were targeting them intentionally or unintentionally. Sometimes, there were people who specifically followed Chongyun and monitored his every move, even when Chongyun was practicing.

Don't let it go.

But of course, the Shi family did not do these actions blatantly, and not many people knew about it except the people involved.

Obviously, the uninformed people here do not include Wu Guan.

That's why he was so surprised after seeing Chongyun come to the General Affairs Department Detention Center in person.

"...Chongyun?"

Wu Guan subconsciously glanced behind Chongyun and saw no one else. He came alone.

"I don't remember anyone telling me you were coming here...why?"

Although his contact with this young alchemist was not very deep, Wu Guan understood his character very well, and there was only one reason why he came here at this time.

"For...what I should do." Chongyun replied. He knew that the commissioner of the General Affairs Department in front of him was not simple, and he probably knew why he came here.

"Is this so..."

Hearing this, Wu Guan fell silent. After nearly a minute, he raised his head and spoke slowly: "Then, I will let you in. As for what you want to do, I won't ask, but you need to agree to something.

thing."

"Say." Chongyun said.

"It's very simple and necessary...that is, you must ensure to be [calm]. No matter what you hear, you must first remain calm."

"Um?"

Hearing this, Chongyun frowned in confusion.

Why does this sound so strange...

Did the Commissioner of the Department of General Affairs think that he, Chongyun, was an irritable person?

"This is the only request."

Wu Guan, however, seemed to have not seen Chongyun's expression at all, and just repeated this sentence: "As long as you agree, I can let you in to chat with Shi Quan."

"Of course." Chongyun nodded seriously, "Uncle Shi Quan is not a heinous person. Although his ideas are different, I believe he will not do such terrible things."

"..."

Hearing this, Wu Guan glanced at Chongyun meaningfully.

This young man...is really like what the rumors say, he will never assume the worst for anyone when encountering anything.

Yes, judging from his usual behavior, Shi Quan is indeed a kind and determined person.

Therefore, when Ningzhe took this man and a large group of treasure thieves over, they were confused. If it wasn't Ningzhe who was arresting him, and the evidence was conclusive, they would all wonder if there was some misunderstanding.

.

"In any case... you will know after you go in." Wu Guan shook his head and added: "Remember what you just promised. By the way, these words are not left to you by me, but by Master Ningzhe.

left."

"Huh? Does Ningzhe know I'm coming here?"

"No......"

Wu Guan took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, his expression becoming a little complicated.

"Master Ningzhe left these words, not directed at any one person..."

"He may have known a long time ago that the Alchemist Family will not send anyone here, and those who will really come to this place will only be superficial [outsiders]..."

Wu Guan seemed to have understood, and now he no longer cared about anything when he spoke.

"...For example, you, Chongyun. Of course, there are others."

"Outsider?" Hearing this word, Chongyun rubbed his head, as if he didn't understand.

"It's not important. You go ahead, I'll hold the door for you here."

Wu Guan waved, got out of the way, and then walked to the door.

"Door door?"

Chongyun was even more confused. He was just here to visit someone. This was the Department of General Affairs Detention Center, not Liyue Prison. Is there any need to be so exaggerated?

Is it possible that Shi Quan really did something outrageous? But if he really did such a thing, he should not be in the detention center, but should be directly sent to prison...

Chongyun rubbed his forehead, he really couldn't understand.

"...In fact, if I don't hold the door for you and it's discovered that you went in, neither of us will be able to walk around in pain."

Wu Guan said without looking back.

"But why? I remember that visits are allowed in the detention center?" Chongyun looked puzzled.

"because..."

Wu Guan was silent for a moment, then waved his hand.

"... In short, because Shi Quan is not a simple prisoner. If you insist on going through the process, I will never let you in. But because of Master Ningzhe's instructions,... you can go in."

When Wu Guan said this, his back was turned to Zhongyun, his expression did not change at all, as if he was not talking to anyone.

"Is that so...I understand."

Although he didn't fully understand, Chongyun nodded seriously and then left a message: "Thank you."

Immediately afterwards, he walked into the corridor of the detention center, and Shi Quan was locked in the room at the end.

"..."

Chongyun's figure disappeared from sight, and Wu Guan breathed out softly.

"...Everyone is in the game."
