Xingqiu will never forget that morning.

Originally, his friend Chongyun invited him to have a meal at Wanmin Hall. After he arrived at the scene, he saw Ningzhe, Ning Yu and Hutao. These two things were originally so happy, why did they make people so sad together?

Oh, it must be the reason why this bitch Ning Yu ordered two portions of Xianjiaoqiang early in the morning.

Look at Ningzhe and Hutao, they ordered a large portion of boiled fish. Although there were a bit too many shrimp dumplings in it... but it looked like a gathering of friends!

Xingqiu is actually very optimistic about Ning Yu. After all, one of them is a young knight who advocates loyalty, and the other is a gentle young scholar. He likes to communicate with such talented peers.

but!

Ning Yu's behavior of ordering two portions of Xianjianqiangqiang and not being able to finish it, and ultimately letting the unlucky guy Chongyun take over, made Xingqiu feel... happy from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing Chongyun holding his stomach and burping as he thought about life, Xingqiu felt that all the troubles caused by the trivial matters of the Guhua Sect could be left behind.

Of course, Xingqiu would be happier if the last Mora didn't pay for it himself.

Obviously the scale of Yunhai Bookstore is no less than that of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, but Ningzhe always likes to rub off on other people... In his words, it seems like "Why give it to Maura when you can get it for free"... Tsk

, there is no trace of the temperament of Ning, the boss of Yunhai Bookstore.

.......

After having enough wine and food, the five people walked out of Wanmin Hall.

In the early morning at Liyue Port, there are already many people running around, either preparing goods for the next day or on their way. Everyone has something they want to do.

"It's a pity. Although Master Mao's boiled fish is also delicious, it is not as good as Xiangling..."

Ningzhe burped and said with some regret: "I don't know where she went to find ingredients again. What a pity."

"Yes, yes, the shrimp dumplings made by Xiangling are much more delicious than those made by Master Mao!"

Hu Tao was convinced and nodded vigorously.

"That's pretty much it. What are you two rich guys talking about for free?"

Xingqiu couldn't bear it anymore and immediately turned to look at Ning Yu, his words full of resentment: "And you, do you know how many molas it cost to jump over the wall for two copies?!"

"Well...based on universal rationality, it's probably quite a lot."

"you...!"

"Ahem...I have some things to do later, shall we meet again later?"

Seeing that Xingqiu was a little angry, Chongyun quickly spoke to stop him, then looked at Ningzhe and said, "The next step will be as we planned before, I will go to Shitou's house in the south of the city first."

"be safe."

Ningzhe nodded and said nothing more.

"Plan? What plan? What are you going to do?"

Xingqiu paused for a moment, then looked at Ningzhe and others in confusion.

"Okay, I didn't plan to hide it from you." Ningzhe exhaled and said helplessly: "If you want to know, come with us to see Ningguang..."

"Ning Guang?"

"Yes."

Looking at the confused Xingqiu, Ning Yu said helplessly: "But the matter has been resolved, let's just watch the last scene."

"Watching a show..."

Xingqiu became even more confused, but out of trust in these friends, he didn't ask any further.

"Let's go meet... Ningguang and see how she arranges it."

A glimmer of light flashed in Ningzhe's black pupils. If he guessed correctly, the matter was by no means that simple.

...

South of the city, Shijia.

The Shi Family was originally the most powerful exorcist family in Liyue Port. They were famous for their castings. Many of the famous alchemist weapons in Liyue history were forged by them. Therefore, the Shi Family can be said to be the most famous in the entire Liyue Port.

A family of alchemists.

But times have changed, and with the continuous development of Liyue's business, more and more molas have come in, causing these families who don't know how to do business to be squeezed step by step, and finally they were forced to a remote corner of Liyue Port...

Shi Bai, the contemporary head of the Shi family, knew very well that if things continued like this, the entire Shi family might be submerged in the tide of history.

Therefore, he chose to take the risk and use the most extreme method to get on the line with Tianquan Star Ningguang.

"Why..."

In the lobby of the Shi family, Shi Bai looked at the two young men kneeling in front of him and sighed helplessly.

"You...shouldn't be like this..."

Only when the two young men fled back to their family in embarrassment did Shi Bai know what they had done.

Actually went to assassinate the investigator assigned by Ningguang??

Even if the assassination was attempted, it still failed?!

Now, maybe the entire Liyue Port will learn about this scandal soon.

How dare you? I have lived for more than fifty years and I don’t even dare. How dare you?!

But after the initial rage, Shi Bai had to force himself to calm down.

"That hanging incense tree has been sealed by the West Wind Church. Unless we can find the clergy of this church, we will have no way to move the divine power hidden in it..."

Shi Bai stroked his forehead with a headache and continued: "But the fragrant wood itself was given to Tianquan Star by them. We have no reason to go to them..."

"Not to mention that you have created such a big trap..."

The two young men kneeling on the ground did not dare to move like quails.

"you..."

Seeing his junior's reaction, Shi Bai was even more furious. He was about to scold him when he sensed a familiar aura.

"Chongyun?"

Crunch~

The old wooden door was pushed open, and Chongyun with a cold expression slowly walked in.

"Uncle Shi."

After Chongyun came in, he bowed to Shi Bai. The two young men were shocked, but Shi Bai was not surprised.

"...Chongyun."

Shi Bai felt that he had never sighed as much in his life as he did today.

"Uncle Shi doesn't need to say anything more. Since the cause has been planted, the result is inevitable."

The Eye of God on Chongyun's waist emits bright white light, like a star cutting through the night sky.

Feeling the biting cold temperature, Shi Bai was silent for a moment, and then said with some relief: "You actually suppressed the pure Yang body with your own wishes... Yes, there is a successor to our alchemist clan..."

Chongyun didn't speak, and still had that cold expression.

"That's all..."

Shi Bai stood up, adjusted his clothes gently, and then said to Chongyun with a smile: "Let's go, I think Master Ningguang has been waiting for a long time, right?"

Chongyun still didn't speak.

"What's wrong?"

Perhaps because he had made a choice, Shi Bai had a relieved smile on his face.

"No..."

Chongyun couldn't help but look at Shi Bai's expression. He stared at the two young men kneeling on the ground and said coldly: "It's them I want to take away, not you."

When the two young men heard this, they did not dare to raise their heads and their bodies were still trembling a little.

"...They were sent by me to assassinate Mr. Ning."

I don't know if it was Chongyun's illusion, but after saying this, Shi Bai suddenly seemed to have aged a few years.

"What? It's really you..."

Hearing this, Chongyun couldn't help but look at Shi Bai, as if he wanted to see signs of lying on his wrinkled face.

However... Chongyun couldn't see anything.

"As early as when Ning Guang went to the bookstore, I suspected that she might know something. Later, when Ning Guangzi went to the Hall of Rebirth, it proved my suspicion..."

"So you decide..."

"Yes, Ning boy is very smart. He can quickly find out that the people behind him are from the alchemist clan, so I have to strike first."

"..."

"I knew I had made a big mistake, but I planned these things alone and had nothing to do with these juniors."

"..."

Looking at Chongyun who was clenching his teeth in front of him, Shi Bai sighed silently.
Chapter completed!
