The journey to Teyvat from the Abyss Mage

The Lantern Festival is the grandest festival in Liyue, so it naturally cannot end in one day. This also means that Luomu’s house arrest will definitely not be dealt with in one day.

So now Luo Mu, who is more suitable for the name of Death Star than Captain Beidou, has confined himself in the courtyards of the Lin family mansion. He usually reads books and drinks tea in the Void Ten Thousand Treasury. When he is really bored, he just walks around in the yard, chats with servants and maids, and has dinner with the Lin family and Asi in the evening. His life is monotonous and boring, but it sounds very fulfilling.

As for the singularity of the soul, Luo Mu forced himself not to think about it. This was obviously not a problem he could solve at this stage. Thinking about it now would only add to his troubles. He even blamed Xu Kong Wan Zang for being too nosy.

I just came to you to tell you about my inner pain, but you gave me a new trouble! What are you thinking? Huh? Tell me!

As the two sides of Luo Mu's personality continue to merge, Luo Mu finds that he dislikes his Moriogai appearance less and less. In general, it is too cold and does not conform to his own two-dimensional aesthetics at all.

[But it is obviously not suitable for you to show yourself in your original appearance now, and your subordinates are more accustomed to you in this body...] The system said humbly.

Then it was silenced by Luomu...even though what it said was very true.

Now, all his external information transmission is handled by Tianming's Tibetan group. Luomu has specially set up a team of ten people to serve his intelligence system during the Lantern Festival and bring him the latest situation in Liyue.

These ten people have been screened through numerous rounds. The leader of the Tibetan group assured Luo Mu that these ten people are definitely the best looking... ahem... the most professional intelligence personnel in the entire Tibetan group.

At that time, Luo Mu felt that the leader of the Tibetan group looked very promising!

It has a much better future than that white-eared wolf named Ashi who brought ten sturdy men with him...

With the help of these ten people, although Luo Mu could not go out, his control over Liyue and Tianming did not weaken substantially. The Shadow Crew still acted secretly according to his instructions, and took advantage of their "ordinary people" status in the streets and alleys to mark out the Seven-Star spies one by one, while spreading rumors that wronged souls were seeking revenge on the eve of the Lantern Festival.

Luo Mu had no intention of letting what happened that night end like this. Not only did he want to kill them, he also wanted to smash their reputations into the dust and make them stains in their respective family trees.

During this process, the members of the Shadow Crew would naturally be at risk of being discovered by the Seven Stars' spies, but Luo Mu didn't care. He believed that even if Ningguang had confirmed her destiny as the culprit who planned the bloody night before the Lantern Festival, she would not do anything extreme.

As for the Shadow Crew, just let them be exposed. Anyway, those exposed people are just baits deliberately thrown out by Luo Mu to cover up his Hidden Crew and the more elite Shadow Crew members.

Qixing and Luomu, two organizations with huge disparity in strength, revealed their most superficial intelligence systems to each other in this infiltration and counter-infiltration. Luomu used this method to show Ningguang his purpose, and Ningguang also showed his sincerity in the same way.

Sometimes, Luo Mu also admires himself now: even if he is quarantined at home, he can still radiate such a strong influence. This sense of control... can really make people lost.

This is Luo Mu’s isolated life. Compared with the isolation in the previous life, life is countless times richer, but at the same time it is also countless times more boring.

Because, such an interesting world, actually has no Internet and mobile phones! On the fifth day of quarantine, Luo Mu finished reading "Shen Qiu Shi Jian Lu"... three times.

If there is anything important, it is that on the second day of the Lantern Festival, Ningguang finally found Luomu.

It was a sunny morning. The lush green leaves outside the study screened the sunlight into dim and uncertain light nets. The misty light sprinkled on the nanmu table, soaking it with the fresh scent of fragrant tea, as if it had been dyed tea color.

Through the rising smoke, Luo Mu looked at the woman in front of him who was still elegant in casual clothes, and couldn't help but sigh that things have changed:

The last time they met, Ying and I were drinking her tea, and now, she has become his guest.

"Mr. Jun Bai is indeed a man of good means. I never thought that you could actually subdue the Lin family and use them for your own benefit." Ningguang spoke first. Her phoenix eyes briefly glanced at the girl serving behind Luo Mu, and she pursed her lips slightly.

The person who can make Miss Lin serve... This Jun Bai is probably not cooperating with the Lin family as rumored, he has completely controlled the Lin family.

Luo Mu smiled slightly and said naturally: "Tian Quanxing, thank you for your praise. I just helped the Lin family a little. Mr. Lin showed me his kindness, so I can have a good life now. Please don't misunderstand me."

Misunderstanding... I don't think I misunderstood anything.

Ningguang narrowed her eyes.

“The Lin family’s tea business is well-known throughout Liyue.” Ningguang smiled and said, “Countless caravans go to Qiaoying Manor every year, but the only family that can really buy good tea is the Lin family.”

Hearing Ningguang's words, Lin Ling, the girl behind Luo Mu, lowered her head in shame.

Although the Lin family is a benevolent family of businessmen, they can't help but resort to some tricks and engage in monopoly. In the tea business, the Lin family is the only one in the market, and that's because of the many tricks used by Lin Qingquan. To put it in a broader sense, the Lin family's business is not so clean either.

"Lord Ningguang, are you jealous of the Lin family's business?" Luo Mu asked with a smile.

Ningguang waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, I was just sighing. It's really shocking that the Lin family's business has grown to such a level without making any noise."

This is strange. It is no secret that the Lin family rose to prominence in Liyue through the tea business. Yet, Ningguang, who monitors the entire country, actually said that the Lin family's rise was "silent"?

Because Ningguang was not talking about the Lin family at all, but the organization behind the Lin family now - Tianming!

After being tempered so much, how could Luo Mu not hear the hidden meaning in Ningguang's words? He nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, the rise of the Lin family has indeed surprised many people, but as long as the Lin family and the entire Liyue are united, its strength will only be a rare help, not a threat, right?"

What does it have to do with you whether my destiny grows fast or not? I can help Liyue and you, so there is no need for you to quarrel with me.

“I naturally believe that the Lin family and Liyue are of one mind.” Ningguang savored the Lin family’s top-quality tea and said calmly, “But some businesses can never be brought to the table.”

I can’t say now whether you are good to Liyue or not, but you killed so many people before the festival, you have to give me an explanation, right?

Luo Mu laughed long and drank a sip of tea. He smiled and said, "Business has both above-the-table and below-the-table aspects. Some businesses are difficult to do, but you have to do them. You are also a businessman, so you should understand this principle, right?"

Don't try to play tricks on me. If I don't kill those people, do you want me to send the Qianyan Army to kill them? You and I both know that they deserve to die. I did what you can't do officially, so don't try to be nice.

"Then..."

"I will report to you later. I can make this decision for the Lin family." Luo Mu promised solemnly: "I'm afraid you are here for those business too?"

"Since you said this, I feel relieved." Ningguang stood up and stretched out a hand to Luo Mu: "Mr. Jun Bai, remember what you said."

"I will definitely not let Qixing down." Luo Mu smiled and held Ningguang Subai's slender yet powerful hand.

A verbal agreement was reached between Tianming and Qixing. As for the future details, Ningguang and Luomu naturally could not just discuss them like that. This required a more suitable opportunity and place.

From the time Ningguang walked into the study to the time she left, neither Luo Mu nor Ningguang mentioned the one hundred or so people who died that night.

Luo Mu knew it clearly, and Luo Mu also knew that those people were no longer of any value. If anyone from either side talked about this matter, these people would only serve to bring an army to bear to punish them. Therefore, in order to avoid misunderstandings from the other side, both sides deliberately avoided talking about this matter.

Besides, it was New Year's Day, and talking about a bunch of animals was a bit unlucky. Looking at Lin Ling's back as she sent Ningguang away, Luo Mu's mouth curled up into a cold smile.

I hope you are smarter than Lisa and don’t let me down... Otherwise, this fake Rock God will not be able to protect your Qun Yu Pavilion.
