Genshin Impact: After entering the card pool, I kicked away the knife and stabbed myself

After bidding farewell to the three Yakshas who seemed to have been tricked, everyone returned to Liyue Harbor and went to "Hanfeng Ironware" to find Lao Zhang to submit the materials.

Old Zhang immediately began to make the Qianqi Core, and Shen He also borrowed Old Zhang's space to make the Immortal Talisman. At this point, the three gifts that Xingqiu mentioned for Ningguang were all collected.

"Let's go find Ningguang now! But, it seems that to see Ningguang you need an invitation or something... Whatever, I think it would be okay for us to show the gift to the person guarding the Jade Pavilion."

To Paimeng's surprise, they were allowed to pass directly without even asking their purpose. So when he saw Ningguang in the Jade Pavilion, Paimeng couldn't help but ask.

Ningguang did not hide it and said, "You guys are making so much noise in the city, of course I know what you are doing."

"Well, thank you for your hard work. At least the foundation for the expansion of the Jade Pavilion in the next ten years is here. I thank you in the name of Tianquan Star. Now it's time for me to fulfill my promise and reward you."

Paimon: “Yeah!”

"I have heard about Mr. Yun's wishes."

Seeing Ningguang mentioned herself first, Yun Jin waved her hand quickly: "Eh? No need, Miss Ningguang, my wish has been fulfilled, just give the reward to someone else."

Ningguang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't treat them unfairly just because I give you a reward. Why don't you listen to me first?"

After Yun Jin nodded stiffly, Ning Guang said, "You are struggling with whether to use the current "Goddess Splitting the Guan" or the script of Layered Rock Abyss that your father is preparing for the performance in Qun Yu Pavilion?"

"How about this, the play "The Goddess Splitting the Temple" is performed in the Jade Pavilion, and the play "The Abyss of the Rocks" is performed at the Lantern Festival?"

"celebration?"

"It's like this. The performance we agreed to have at the Jade Pavilion was largely to make a good impression on Inazuma's diplomatic corps. And Inazuma is looking for us to apply for diplomacy at this point, and another reason is that the Lantern Festival is arguably the most important traditional festival in Liyue. After the diplomatic corps arrives, if we can successfully negotiate the establishment of diplomatic relations, Inazuma will open a passenger ship with Liyue on the eve of the Lantern Festival, and a large number of Inazuma people will flock to Liyue to celebrate the Lantern Festival with us."

[I always feel something is weird... In reality, foreigners will also come to celebrate the Spring Festival with us? ? ]

[No one is open during the New Year holidays, is there a place for Inazuma people to eat and stay? ()]

[Ningguang: Asking means giving money]

"And regarding the Thousand Rocks soldiers in the Layered Abyss... Regarding their return, the seal will loosen soon. The immortals also predicted that the time would be before the Lantern Festival."

"The two just happened to collide. After all, Inazuma didn't know the news, and we couldn't refuse their kindness, so we just went together. Therefore, this Lantern Festival is not only the Lantern Festival of the current Liyue people, but also the Lantern Festival of the soldiers who returned from five hundred years ago. It may also be the Lantern Festival in the minds of Inazuma people."

[In my mind... Arataki Ichito, Kuki Shinobu: Is this something I can say? ]

[I guess Arataki Ichito wouldn't think of that, hahaha. Even if Kuki Shinobu knew, he wouldn't tell her, so it doesn't matter.]

"Therefore, the scale of this year's Sea Lantern Festival will be unprecedentedly large, and we will also hold many activities, among which the most important one is the celebration of the Sea Lantern Festival."

"So, Mr. Yun, are you willing to perform at this year's Lantern Festival?"

Yun Jin responded excitedly: "Of course! Thank you Miss Ningguang!"

Ningguang smiled, shifted her gaze, and said, "Mr. Aratake Ichito, Ms. Kuki Shinobu, do you have anything you want to ask me?"

"Eh? Do I have a share?"

Arata Ichito scratched his head and said, "No need for me! I don't have anything to ask!"

"The boss's will is my will."

Aratake Ito never expected that the woman in front of him was the person with the most power in Liyue at the moment, because he didn't have that brain. However, Kuki Shinobu felt that her current life was very good, and she didn't need even the promise from Liyue's Tianquan Star.

As for your question about why the second-in-command of the Arotaki faction didn't find some benefits for the Arotaki faction...

For Kuki Shinobu, the current poor but happy Aratake faction is the best. If he gets money for no reason, who knows whether his brothers will be greedy for money and split the Aratake faction. After all, money can move people's hearts, and Kuki Shinobu doesn't want to see Aratake Ito sad.

As for the matter of Kuki Shinobu's family, it was completely resolved when Miyu Chiyo returned to take care of Aratake Ichito. After all, as the nominal second-in-command of the Aratake faction and the actual mother-in-law, Kuki Shinobu was Aratake Ichito's top priority.

Aratake Ichito and Kuki Shinobu were also a little awkward for Ningguang. After all, they were companions who had obtained the materials together with the traveler and the immortal disciples, and they were also close to Miyu Chiyo, the follower of the Thunder God. So Ningguang wanted to give them some benefits, but she was afraid that Aratake Ichito, a single-celled organism, would say something that would embarrass her.

The main reason is that we haven't established diplomatic relations with Inazuma yet. If we bring up something about Inazuma, Ningguang won't be able to agree to it right away...

Anyway, it's nothing more than a matter of face.

Now that both of them have expressed that they have no demand, everyone is naturally happy.

"In that case, I will pay for all your expenses during your stay in Liyue. At least stay until the Lantern Festival to see the prosperity of Liyue. My promise to you two is still valid. If you encounter any difficulties, you can come to me."

[Ms. Ning will pay for all the expenses tonight! ]

[Arakaki Ichito: Thank you for the invitation. I am in Liyue and have been asked to be supported by a man and a woman at the same time]

【??? Something is wrong with you upstairs】

Although Xiao had promised to take care of the food and lodging, since Ningguang had said so, Arawaki Ichito said without hesitation: "Thank you!"

Jiuqi Ren also thanked her: "Thank you, Miss Ningguang."

Ningguang then looked at Ying and Paimeng. "What about you? Ying, what do you want to ask me? Let me be clear in advance that I don't know your brother's whereabouts, so don't waste this question."

Paimonghan said: "Hmm... Miss Ningguang always seems to be able to predict the future..."

Paimon knew that Ying didn't care about anything in particular except her brother's affairs, so he said, "In that case, it's Paimon's turn to ask!"

Paimeng had an excited smile on his face, his eyes sparkling. Ningguang knew what Paimeng wanted to say at a glance, so she spoke directly: "Doing business is not as easy as you think. Funds, connections, a sense of wind direction, a nose for opportunities... all of these are indispensable."

"If you want to ask how to make money, I will answer according to the agreement. But it may not be effective for you now."

Paimon's eyes widened, surprised that Ningguang had seen through all her little thoughts, and said, "Wow - I haven't asked anything yet!"

Ningguang smiled as if she was looking at a child and said, "Your thoughts are written on your face. Of course, if you help me collect materials for the expansion of the Jade Pavilion during this period, I will never treat you unfairly."

"I can promise that if one day you are in urgent need of assistance, you can come to me to find a job. As for the salary and benefits, I will of course give it according to the highest standards."

"Great! Next time when Mora runs out, we can just come find Miss Ningguang!"
