Chapter 89 Showdown and the past

The annual Moon-by-Moon Festival finally came to an end with the flying silk.

Silks are like wishes one after another, flying into everyone's hands and into every family.

This month-by-month festival may not be the best, but it will definitely impress everyone.

...

After saying goodbye to Hu Tao and Xingqiu, Ningzhe returned to the bookstore with Jiang Guo and Ning Yu.

Hanging decorations of different colors have long been hung on the broad eaves of the bookstore, but the laborer who was supposed to be sitting at the door was nowhere to be seen.

However, Ningzhe didn't want to say anything. Based on his understanding of workers... this guy was probably going to have a drink with his old friends.

It's the Moon-by-Moon Festival, it's time for these old guys to get together.

After returning to the bookstore, Ningzhe ignored Ning Yu and Jiang Guo and walked slowly back to the room by himself.

"Well... Speaking of which, we haven't officially met yet."

Seeing Ning Zhe slip away, Ning Yu was silent for a while, and finally looked at Jiang Guo and spoke in a gentle tone.

"Ah, hello, Mr. Ning Yu, my name is Jiang Guo, and I am the new accountant of Yunhai Bookstore."

Jiang Guo didn't expect Ning Yu to speak at this time. She was stunned for a moment and then quickly said: "I used to work as a busboy at Wangshu Inn. Thanks to Boss Ning, I think..."

"No need to hide anything."

Hearing that Jiang Guo was obviously hiding something, Ning Yu shook his head and said calmly: "Not only do you have the Eye of God, but you have also won the thousand-year competition in Liyue... Then I will not doubt your strength."

Ning Yu paused for a moment, then said, "Since you are someone recognized by Ningzhe, I will also trust you...So, I don't want you to deliberately hide something."

Seeing Ning Yu's blue pupils shining slightly, Jiang Guo swallowed.

If he only had a little regret before, then he regrets it extremely now.

He thought he could live a relaxed and happy life after coming out of the Privy Council, but what he didn't expect was that there was such a Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in this Yunhai Bookstore...

Ningzhe himself possesses extremely powerful mental power, and this young man named Ning Yu also possesses considerable strength.

I am a few years older than these two people, but I didn't expect...

"...Um."

After coming back to his senses, Jiang Guo took a deep breath, and then said helplessly: "Ningzhe didn't ask about it, so I didn't tell him. After all, in his capacity, he wanted to know about my past.

Very relaxing.”

"I just think that these things are trivial and there is no need to talk about them."

At this point, Jiang Guo's expression suddenly became serious.

"...But you are right, no matter what, I am now a member of Yunhai Bookstore."

Hearing this, Ning Yu nodded slightly but did not speak.

"I used to work in the Privy Council. For some special reasons, I needed to find out something."

"This matter is related to a tragedy that happened more than ten years ago. I must get the truth...and Ningzhe is Tianquan's younger brother. I think that by following him, I can get information that cannot be obtained through ordinary channels."

Jiang Guo changed his usual laziness and looked extremely serious.

A tragedy more than ten years ago...

Hearing these words, Ning Yu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Jiang Guo and frowned, "If you don't mind, could you tell me... what is this tragedy?"

"Of course. Everyone in Liyue knows about this matter. There is nothing to mind or don't mind..."

Jiang Guo shook his head and then said: "This incident is the Ning family's massacre more than ten years ago. You and Ningzhe have been traveling since childhood, so you may not have heard of it..."

As he spoke, Jiang Guo suddenly paused, then raised his head sharply and looked at Ning Yu in disbelief.

More than ten years ago, the huge Ning family was destroyed overnight, and no one in the family was spared... But only the body of the eldest son of the Ning family was not found.

Ning family, Ning Yu, more than ten years ago...

Is it possible...

"...really."

To Jiang Guo's expectation, after Ning Yu heard this, he just shook his head gently.

"I was a little curious before, why the treasure house at the old site of the Ning family showed signs of being explored by someone... No, to be precise, that person didn't touch anything, he just wanted to find out something through these leftover things.

"

"It has been more than ten years since the Ning family was destroyed. All valuable things have been looted long ago... There are also signs that the items in the treasure house have been rummaged through, but they have not been taken away."

"Now that I think about it, that person should be you."

"..."

After hearing this, after a long silence, Jiang Guo exhaled and nodded with a complicated expression.

"But I'm curious, why are you so concerned about this matter?"

Ning Yu pulled out a book from the bookshelf nearby and spoke in a calm tone.

"It's very simple. Now that I know that you are the young master of the Ning family who survived that year, I won't hide it from you."

When Jiang Guo saw Ning Yu's reaction being so bland, she understood immediately.

"Back then, when that incident happened, I happened to be near Ning's house... In other words, I had faced that thing head-on."

Face to face?

Ning Yu's calm expression finally changed.

"That thing..."

Jiang Guo was silent for a moment, then raised his hand, and a wind element was suddenly generated, as if this could bring him a sense of security.

"Powerful, profound, indescribable..."

"If my teacher hadn't saved me...even if it hadn't looked at me at all, I would have died in that breath."

Seeing Jiang Guo's trembling appearance, Ning Yu silently stretched out his hand, and a soothing force attached to his body.

"...Thanks."

Jiang Guo took a breath and felt better.

"You're welcome."

Ning Yu shook his head, then glanced at Ningzhe's room, hesitated for a while and then said: "Ningzhe can't let Ningzhe know about this matter."

"Why?"

Jiang Guo naturally didn't understand. In his opinion, as long as Ningzhe intervened in this matter, they could quickly find clues.

"I know Ningzhe, if he knows some news about the destruction of the Ning family..."

Ning Yu put the book back in his hand, sighed, and then said: "Then he will definitely drop everything he is doing and try his best to find the truth for me."

"But right now, he has far more important things to do than helping me. At the very least... he can't be distracted by my affairs."

How can Liyue Port and Qunyu Pavilion take over all this?

As Ningzhe's best friend, he understood better than anyone how much effort Ningzhe put into planning this matter.

Similarly, as Ningzhe's good friend, he must not allow Ningzhe to worry about his own affairs.

Moreover... they haven't found any breakthrough clues. Telling Ningzhe now will only increase their worries.

"..."

Hearing this, Jiang Guo fell into silence.

After a long silence, he suddenly smiled, looking a little helpless.

"I finally understand why you two are able to travel across the continent at a young age."

After saying this, Jiang Guo returned to his previous lazy appearance and walked towards his room.

As he walked, he waved his hand and said: "I'm going to bed first. I have to get up early tomorrow to do the accounting..."

Watching Jiang Guo leave, the smile on Ning Yu's face gradually faded.

"Powerful, profound, indescribable..."
