Chapter 9 Behind the Scenes

Liyue Port, corner of Yujingtai.

After pulling Hu Tao to the back of the stage, in the blind spot of Ning Guang's sight, Ning Zhe finally breathed a sigh of relief.

From the moment he saw Ningguang waiting for him at Yujing Terrace with great fanfare, Ningzhe understood what Ningguang wanted to do.

No matter what, at least it is not a simple matter of "recovering stolen gifts from neighboring countries".

Originally, anyone who encountered this kind of "theft" would try their best to cover it up. After all, this is equivalent to one's own incompetence to a certain extent, which is why the thieves were attracted.

But there can only be one explanation for Ningguang's behavior of bringing the incident to the public and using his influence to attract a large number of people to watch:

That is, Ningguang herself has an agenda, and her interests are high enough for her to come forward in person.

"Ningzhe...you just spoke to Ningguang like that in front of so many people. Will she cause trouble for you?"

Seeing that something was wrong with Ningzhe's expression, Hutao spoke with some concern.

Hearing this, Ningzhe shook his head and was about to speak when he heard a familiar voice:

"Don't worry, Ningguang can cause trouble for anyone, but he won't cause trouble for this guy."

Ningzhe and Hutao turned around at the same time and saw the person coming.

——As expected, it was Ning Yu with a smile on his face.

"What? Why do you say Ningguang won't cause trouble for Ningzhe?"

"Well..."

Ning Yu glanced at Ning Zhe and found that his friend was winking at him crazily, as funny as a typewriter. So Ning Yu chuckled and said: "The person behind the original construction of Yunhai Bookstore was Ning Zhe.

Light, and this huge collection of books was also found by her."

"Ah? You mean..."

"Okay... As long as you guessed it. There are too many things involved in this matter, and I shouldn't have told you to let you know..."

Seeing Hu Tao's eyes widening, Ningzhe felt helpless, but didn't say much.

"Wow..."

Hu Tao's eyes lit up. Since Ning Zhe was standing behind Ning Guang, didn't it mean that there was Ning Guang standing behind him?

Xingqiu, who was behind Ning Yu, was also surprised, but quickly calmed down and even nodded thoughtfully.

"That's right. No wonder Ning Guang, who has always kept a distance from others, trusts you so much and even went to Yunhai Bookstore..."

Xingqiu suddenly frowned as he spoke.

"No! Ningguang is the boss behind you, so why are you so stingy?"

"this..."

"Give back all the Mora that you have taken away from me in the past few months!!"

Ningzhe scratched his head and showed a simple smile: "Hey~"

"Hey, what do you mean?!"

"...Xingqiu, it's useless for you to say more. I've known this guy for more than ten years, and he hasn't invited me to dinner even a few times."

Ning Yu put his hand on Xingqiu's shoulder, sighed, and said helplessly: "Instead of wasting your time here, it's better to think about what to do later."

"What should I do later?"

"Yes." Ning Yu glanced at Ning Zhe and said, "Why do you think Ning Zhe asked Ning Guang in public how to deal with the alchemist clan?"

Yes, why did Ningzhe ask Ningguang in public?

Xingqiu frowned, and after thinking for a while, he said hesitantly: "Are you saying that Ningguang is very likely to take this opportunity to attack the Fang Shi family... maybe even... to attack Chongyun?"

"But shouldn't these things be under the jurisdiction of Kaiyang Star? Although Ningguang has the power of heaven, he can't interfere in the affairs of other seven stars, right? And... I can't think of how much dealing with the alchemist can bring to Ningguang

income."

"..."

Ning Yu didn't speak, but looked at Ningzhe meaningfully.

"...Of course. If it were normal, Ningguang would never take action against the warrior."

Seeing Hutao and Xingqiu looking over, Ningzhe had to say: "But at this time, the alchemist family is at its weakest in the past thousand years. The older generation is getting old, and the younger generation has no one except Chongyun.

Take the lead."

"In the final analysis, all this can be said to be a problem with the Alchemist family's own development strategy. If this continues, the word [Alchemist] may completely disappear from Liyue Port."

"But what does this have to do with Ningguang?"

Hu Tao spoke with some confusion.

"Of course this has nothing to do with Ning Guang... but it has something to do with another Seven Stars. She doesn't respect immortals and gods, and hopes to protect Liyue through human hands..."

"Yuhengxing...?"

Thinking of that resolute girl, Xingqiu suddenly realized.

"So, in the eyes of Yu Hengxing, a group of alchemists who are independent from the immortals but possess the power to exorcise evil spirits and subjugate demons... are absolutely indispensable in Liyue Port. This is why Ningguang wants to take action against the alchemists."

"...."

Therefore, Ningguang's move is just to turn the entire alchemist family into a force, even if they are deprived of their identities, is it just to protect Liyue as a weapon?

To this end, they even did not hesitate to use gifts from neighboring Mondstadt...

"But there is still a turning point in this matter, and Ningguang also reminded us."

When everyone was silent, Ning Yu suddenly spoke.

"...Yes." Ningzhe also exhaled a long breath, looked at Xingqiu seriously, and said: "She said: [Liyue is a country of etiquette and law, everything should be based on Liyue law], then

We can only make a breakthrough from this place."

"But Tianquan Xing herself is in charge of the revision and addition of Liyue's laws. Who in the entire Liyue Port knows the laws better than her?"

Xingqiu held his chin and thought carefully.

Even though the matter had become clear after Ningzhe and Ning Yu's analysis, Xingqiu still felt that they had overlooked something.

Yu Hengxing does have a motive for doing this...but the question is, will she, who has always been straightforward, use this method?

This kind of plan is equivalent to genocide to some extent...

"How much do you know about Yuhengxing?"

Ningzhe glanced at Xingqiu strangely, but didn't think much about it. He just said: "Yuheng Xing Keqing was born in a famous family... Although she is a seven-star, she usually takes care of her official duties.

On the front line. Whether it's a peddler or a roadside trader, she always treats everyone equally..."

Having said this, Ningzhe paused.

"Yes." Ning Yu also frowned, "It is unlikely that such a person would use this method to solve the problem of the alchemist family."

"But we don't have time to think about these issues right now."

Ningzhe finally shook his head.

Chongyun is afraid that he has solved the Shi family's problem and is already on his way to Yujingtai with Chuixiang Mu and the Shi family... They don't have time to sort out the whole thing.

The question now is...who can find a solution from Ningguang's revised law...

law...

Um?

An image flashed in Ningzhe's mind, and then a smile appeared.
