The journey to Teyvat from the Abyss Mage

At Ganyu's gentle urging, Luomu and Ying finally stepped into the circle of light. As his immortal power boiled, Luomu felt that his body was surrounded by warm water, and the stars and heavens around him flashed by. When he opened his eyes again, they were already thousands of meters above the sky. In the night sky, clouds dyed inky black by the darkness floated in front of Luomu's eyes, and he could even feel the water element contained in them.

Although he was at high altitude, Luo Mu did not feel the lack of oxygen or cold at all. An invisible barrier seemed to shield the turbulence and cold air in the air from the range of the Jade Pavilion, allowing the Jade Pavilion to maintain a warm and pleasant climate like spring.

What a miraculous power! Luo Mu couldn't help but be amazed. Among the seven kingdoms, Liyue, which is not the most technologically advanced, can build such a city in the sky. Although it is assisted by divine objects and magic power, it also shows the ingenuity of Tianquan and his subordinates. If Liyue is like this, what about Zhidong? What about Kanreya, the blasphemous country? In the long years, will that country that is not tolerated by the gods really have a moment that can be compared with Sky Island?

"This... must be the Qun Yu Pavilion." Paimeng's voice trembled slightly.

Compared to Luomu, Ying and Paimeng were even more shocked. Luomu had at least laid a psychological foundation in the game, and now it could only be regarded as "when dreams come true", but Ying and Paimeng were different. They had actually seen such a spectacle for the first time. The majestic and magnificent but also exquisite and small pavilions and terraces in the details, all kinds of bright and beautiful exotic flowers and plants, complex and exquisite, and unpredictable mechanical arrays... The most amazing thing is that these things are suspended in the air! How can people not be amazed?

"It's really... a miraculous skill." Ying concluded.

In amazement, several people, led by Ganyu, walked towards the center of the Jade Pavilion... Jade Pavilion? Luo Mu didn't know whether the name "Jade Pavilion" referred to the gorgeous building where Ningguang worked, or the entire sky island.

When they arrived at the gate, two young men from the Qianyan Army who looked handsome but weak and delicate came to greet them. They nodded to Ganyu, and then they whispered a few words to each other. The two Qianyan Army soldiers put away their halberds and opened the gate for Luomu and his companions.

Pushing the door open, everything that came into view seemed extremely ordinary compared to the outer area of ​​the Sky Island. There were only ordinary wooden bookshelves, rows of neatly stacked official documents, and ordinary flowers and plants in ordinary-looking porcelain vases. The only things that looked unusual were a few exquisite screens with gold embroidered edges, which surrounded the office of Tianquanxing Ningguang.

This is the core of the Jade Pavilion. The power and money of the entire Liyue radiate from this place. This metaphor may not be appropriate, but the Seven Stars are like spiders, lying in this big web woven by economy and politics, waiting for prey to take the bait at any time.

"It seems that those soldiers outside are just for show." Feeling the elemental force that was many times stronger in the room and the mysterious mechanisms everywhere, Luo Mu whispered to Ying: "No wonder they put a few vases to guard the door."

Ying suppressed her smile and nodded. The name "vase" was quite descriptive. She also felt that the Qianyan Army soldiers outside the door were a bit flashy.

Ganyu stood aside with a smile, neither getting closer nor going further away.

Just as Luo Mu and Ying were observing the decoration inside the Qun Yu Pavilion, a sound of footsteps suddenly came from somewhere in the building. The owner of the footsteps was obviously someone who had been in a high position for a long time, and each step was steady and solid, with a graceful and elegant demeanor.

Under the expectant gaze of Luo Mu and Ying, a tall and beautiful woman with long platinum hair, wearing a cheongsam with alternating gold, white and black, and with a mysterious smile on her face, Tianquan Xing Ningguang slowly walked out from behind a screen. In her hand, a glittering gem was floating up and down, and the golden phoenix pattern on the cheongsam further highlighted her unique and luxurious temperament.

“Miss Ningguang.” Ganyu bowed to Ningguang.

Ningguang smiled and waved to Ganyu to signal her not to do so. At the same time, three pretty secretaries in ordinary skirts came out from behind Ningguang. One of them walked straight towards Ganyu and led the Seven Stars' secretary to the side to rest, while the other two led Luomu and Ying to the two nanmu chairs opposite Ningguang. Then, they retreated back to Ningguang, without saying a word, smiling or moving.

"You two, please take a seat." Ningguang said with a smile. She took the lead and sat behind the table. Luomu and Ying looked at each other and slowly sat down.

"Are you two from Mondstadt?" Ningguang asked.

Luo Mu nodded silently. He still didn't understand what Ningguang was up to by wanting to see them so late at night.

Ningguang nodded slightly, a hint of reminiscence flashing in her eyes: "Mondstadt's fine wine is so memorable."

"If you need, we can make the decision for Mondstadt and Liyue to reach a long-term trade cooperation." Luo Mu added calmly.

“Hahahaha, no need.” Ningguang smiled and waved her hands, “You and I both know that I didn’t invite you two here to discuss any business or trade.”

You and I both know what's going on. How can I know why you called us here in the middle of the night? Luo? He gritted his teeth secretly, but on the surface he still had a calm face that looked like he had seen through everything.

"Miss Ningguang," he said calmly, "Trade only requires price and goods, but what you want to discuss with us requires trust and friendship. We have stayed in your spies' gathering place for so many days, allowing them to investigate us and showing our sincerity, but you haven't."

The words were all very exaggerated, but Luo Mu knew in his heart that what he said was just a lie, just to make himself look unfathomable. In fact, he didn't think that far.

Oh my god, Xiao Luo, you are an actor! Ying, who was standing by, tried hard to suppress her surprise.

This is... too much! That's not how you explained it to me!

After hearing Luo Mu's words, Ningguang was silent for a moment. Then, she smiled faintly, raised her hand, and picked up a piece of information from the table.

"Since you need me to show my sincerity, this is easy to do. As a deposit for cooperation, I will advance you three truths."

"First, the reason why Inazuma's Yae Shinko and Kamisato Ayato came this time is related to the Divine Heart of Emperor Yanwang."

"Secondly, that Yajen Palace Master has strange and unpredictable methods, and she seems to have no principles at all. When she met with me, she left magic spells for monitoring in various places in the Jade Pavilion. Although we have noticed it and suppressed and cleaned it up, we can only ensure that the conversation here tonight will not be leaked. This is why I am in a hurry to see you two."

“Third,” Ningguang paused, a rare hint of frost covering her delicate face.

"Four months ago, the Rock King fell. Liyue is now a country without gods!"
