Why!

What right does she have to complain about Mu Xian?

Why should she have the right to complain about her own brother?!

Thinking of this, he quickly released his grip on his right hand.

Ningguang knew that all of this needed to change...

No matter what, she needs Mu Xian back in her life.

And this opportunity soon presented itself to Ningguang...

Ningguang never believed she would ever see the homeless boy who had stolen her goods and ended up having his business swallowed up by her.

However, he probably can't accept a boy now, as he has become the executive officer and a wealthy man in the Kingdom of Winter.

Ningguang had heard that when he first joined the Kingdom of Winter, he helped the Kingdom of Winter resolve an economic crisis.

He is no longer the rich man who wanted to steal everything. Now, with his eyes narrowed, he has a refined and scholarly air, and even his tone is calm and unhurried.

Ningguang knew that she and he were the same kind of people.

But there's something different about her; Ningguang disdains to pretend.

After all, he and I experienced not only hardship, but also the darkness of the world.

A person who suffered hardship in childhood can still smile nonchalantly and gently care for others; perhaps this can be called gentle strength.

But if someone who has witnessed the darker side of the world still maintains a warm and approachable demeanor with a gentle smile, there's only one possibility.

He wanted to pull people into the darkness of the world as well.

Chapter 194 Family 8

Ningguang represents Liyue, while the rich represent Winter.

Two people with a grudge sat at the negotiating table in Yuehai Pavilion, yet the scene was surprisingly harmonious.

This is a matter between nations, and the two of them will not bring their personal grudges into Liyue.

However, this does not mean that the two people can continue to get along harmoniously after the negotiations.

The matter between the nations concerns a certain pact between the Rock God and the Ice God, the contents of which are related to the Heart of God.

After that negotiation, Ningguang and the rich man were alone.

At the same time, Ningguang also learned some of the Emperor's plans.

These plans gave Ningguang some ideas.

However, before putting her idea into practice, Ningguang focused her attention on the wealthy.

The two people now are destined not to rush over and strangle each other.

This is not respectable for their status.

After all, their status is now in a more "undignified" way.

For example... people can become inhuman for the sake of profit.

Ningguang glanced at the rich man after the negotiations ended, but she didn't want to say anything more to him.

but...

"I don't seem to see your usual little follower..."

These words made Ningguang stop in her tracks.

She turned to look at the rich man, only to see him still squinting: "However, on the way to the Winter Kingdom, I saw him on a ship..."

"Judging from his appearance, he was having a very pleasant conversation with the captain."

During his time in Winterland, the rich man did not remain stagnant; at least he immediately recognized Ningguang's weakness.

As Ningguang turned her head, her gentle smile turned eerie.

"So let's make a deal."

"I need the Northern Bank to inject funds into Liyue, and you, you probably need that little lackey back by your side..."

Ningguang certainly knew what the rich were thinking.

Sending the Northern Bank to Liyue is more of a signal that they want to start a new business war with Ningguang.

Just like Ningguang said before, the two of them are of the same kind.

She knew exactly what the rich man was thinking—he wanted to take back what he had lost in Liyue.

However, Ningguang didn't care. If she could defeat the rich man the first time, she could defeat him the second time.

The rich man's plan is simple.

He disguised himself as a member of the Southern Cross crew and joined the fleet, carrying spices that could lure the sea mountain when the fleet set sail.

Hai Shan's strength was enough to annihilate an unsuspecting fleet, and the rich man could frame Mu Xian for the annihilation of the fleet.

Next, Ningguang used various methods to put others on the opposite side of Mu Xian.

Ningguang intervened to protect Mu Xian.

Afterwards, the wealthy would deliberately leave behind evidence that the Southern Cross had been destroyed by a sea monster.

At the same time, it restored Mu Xian's innocence.

They spread rumors about them by using small details to amplify larger claims.

Whether a rumor is true or false, as long as it spreads widely enough, enough people will believe it.

As long as some people believe it, and it spreads from person to person, more people will believe it.

These things may not affect these people much, but in the short term, they will lose the trust of the people of Liyue.

It's important to know that most of these people are connected to Liyue's various economic lifelines.

Meanwhile, the Northern Bank can take advantage of the period when they lose the trust of the people to establish themselves and develop in Liyue.

Bring Mu Xian back to your side and let the Northern Bank intervene in Liyue's economy.

This is a win-win situation for both Ningguang and the wealthy.

However, Ningguang knew that if the plan were actually implemented, their relationship would not be a "win-win" situation for either of them.

How could a plan possibly be a real plan?

Perhaps in the real plan, the wealthy man didn't produce evidence that his fleet was destroyed by a sea monster...

In that case, it won't be those who oppose Mu Xian who suffer disgrace, but rather Ning Guang, who protected Mu Xian...

However, Ningguang still agreed to the rich man's plan.

After all, the rich have their own plans, and Ningguang has hers as well.

Using the Northern Bank to interfere in Liyue's economy... Ningguang, being a Tianquan, was destined to prevent this from happening.

Therefore, Ningguang told the Emperor about her plans.

But the Emperor did not nod in agreement as usual; instead, he looked at Ningguang with a complicated expression.

After watching for a long time, Ningguang finally heard the Emperor sigh.

"Never mind... Northern Bank...it's not such a bad thing."

"If things get to the point of no return, I will intervene..."

"However, if you do something wrong, you'll have to pay the price for failure..."

Ningguang didn't understand what the Emperor said, but she knew that the Emperor had given her a guarantee.

The plan was quickly put into action, and on that day Ningguang received intelligence that the Dark Star had been wrecked.

But things didn't go as planned...

In order to save everyone on the ship, Mu Xian awakened his Divine Eye and saved them all.

Well... it really sounds like something Mu Xian would do...

Fortunately, the captain of the Big Dipper fell into a coma, allowing Ningguang's plan to proceed smoothly.

The rich man appeared as planned, accusing Mu Xian of being the culprit who destroyed the fleet.

As expected, many people came to Ningguang in the first few hours of the trial, but Ningguang used various reasons to persuade them to stand by and watch.

The most interesting one is the girl in the pink hat, who can convince herself by simply talking about the "law".

Ningguang saw Mu Xian again, but this time...

The fabricated charges were read aloud by the girl named Yanfei...

With a complicated expression, she described the punishment she would receive for committing these acts.

Immediately following this was a series of curses from the surrounding crowd.

The cursing, while carrying a sense of personal satisfaction, sounded grating to Ningguang.

So Ningguang looked down at Mu Xian in the audience and found that Mu Xian was looking up at her.

Those eyes...

Just like when I asked myself if anyone would stand by me...

As his older sister... as family... of course I'll always stand by his side!

But Ningguang is still Tianquan of Liyue.

At the very least, Ningguang cannot allow Liyue to suffer losses because of her personal feelings.

Ningguang has no ship, which is evidence that the seamount was destroyed.

If I were to rashly protect Mu Xian without any evidence...

This approach of solving problems based solely on emotion will only make the already indignant public even more disgusted with Mu Xian.

At the same time, they will also lose trust in themselves as Tianquan.

After all, Ningguang knew that the rich wouldn't obediently hand over the so-called evidence.
