Genshin Impact: The Vision of Gods Shines Again

As for delaying the trial until the captain arrives...

But this would only ruin Ningguang's plans.

Mu Xian would never be disappointed in anyone, and he had absolutely no way of using any means to bring his relationship with Mu Xian back to what it was before.

Moreover, once they make a choice outside of this plan, the wealthy will realize it and make other preparations during the period of delayed trial.

Therefore... I can only make decisions that align with the will of the people.

Ningguang has already made arrangements. After the trial is over, she will arrange for someone to abduct Mu Xian from Qianyan Army.

She would hide Mu Xian in a very secluded, very hidden corner.

Until the captain wakes up, until the whole truth comes out...

That's all that matters...

As long as this is done...

As Ningguang uttered the words of final judgment, she suddenly realized something was wrong.

She turned her head sharply and looked at the wealthy man next to her.

The executor of the Fools was not angered by the decision he made that was outside the plan.

Instead, he revealed a smile that suggested his plan had succeeded.

The smile was faint, yet it made Ningguang's pupils shrink, and a sense of panic arose in her heart.

In her panic, she looked at Mu Xian, only to see a figure breaking free of shackles.

The figure rushed towards the rich man, but was stopped by a purple figure.

When the icy blue arrow struck Mu Xian, Ning Guang felt as if her whole body had been frozen.

Regardless of the evidence, the act of openly attacking a witness on the Yujing Terrace...changed everything.

Ningguang had tried to abduct Mu Xian from the Qianyan Army.

But the rich seemed to know his plans, and every time Ningguang sent out her men, they always encountered resistance from the Fools.

Until that day, the rich man personally found Ningguang, who was already in a terrible predicament.

He still wore that calm smile, but his tone was chilling.

"You ruined all my hard work back then."

"And now, I'm destroying the only person you ever truly cherish."

"One thing for another...that's fair, isn't it?"

Chapter 195 Falling from the Jade Pavilion

Using old objects to find the souls of the deceased connected to them...

This method is not unique to Inazuma.

Ningguang consulted many ancient texts and finally found something in the texts related to the young medicine boy at Bubulu.

The light beneath the towering abyss grew increasingly dazzling, so much so that Bai Shi, standing behind Ning Guang, squinted and eventually couldn't bear it any longer and looked away.

However, Ningguang did not notice that a mysterious power was being infused into the wooden sword.

As the wooden sword hung upside down, it seemed as if some force flowed down the blade, pulling the white light below to slowly float up.

That was the soul of someone who was connected to this wooden sword but had already died.

As for the connection...

For example, the person who cut down the tree to make this sword...

For example, the person who planted that tree...

But when it comes to the person most closely connected to it, there is only one person.

Many white dots of light only rose a certain distance before stopping.

But a point of light slowly rose and drifted towards Ningguang.

Compared to the others, this spot of light appeared dim and dull, a hazy gray.

Seeing this, Ningguang smiled knowingly.

She put down the wooden sword and wanted to reach out and cup the point of light, but as if realizing something, she quickly withdrew her hand.

A tight, soft handkerchief appeared in Ningguang's hand.

Ningguang, through her handkerchief, was about to reach out to that point of light.

At that moment, Ye Lan's voice rang out.

"A soul without a body is useless..."

"Who said there isn't..."

Ningguang didn't turn her head when she said this; her gentle expression masked her calm words.

"Before the Jade Pavilion, I was always circling around the Golden House..."

Ningguang's words were brief and to the point, but they left Yelan somewhat confused.

But a moment later, Ye Lan suddenly looked up as if she had thought of something, and she suddenly realized what Ning Guang was talking about.

The Golden House is the place where Mora was forged, and it is said that Mora was forged primarily from the flesh and blood of the Emperor, mixed with various metals.

Therefore, after that ceremony to invite the immortals, the Emperor's body was kept in the Golden House.

This act of utter disrespect to the Emperor made Ye Lan want to say something, but she couldn't find the words to say.

Duty made Yelan want to blame Ningguang, but personal feelings also led her to indulge in some delusions.

Her eyes remained fixed on Ningguang, and looking into her gentle eyes seemed to have driven her to madness.

"Younger brother... Mu Xian..."

"I'm taking you home."

Ye Lan listened to Ning Guang's murmurs as if she were coaxing a child.

The carefully maintained hand, still bearing some calluses, cautiously reached out towards the hazy spot of light.

Ningguang looked at the light spot in front of her and seemed to see the Mu Xian of the past.

She still remembered the deal with the rich man, in which she sacrificed some of her own assets to allow the Northern Bank to enter Liyue.

The rich man's promise to clear Mu Xian of suspicion brought Bei Dou to his senses.

Indeed, Beidou's initial coma was not an accident, and even the wealthy man's decision to become a crew member was not a spur-of-the-moment thing.

A true businessman knows how to stir up other people's emotions; Mu Xian's sudden move on the Jade Capital Platform was also something a wealthy person would do.

Even when Mu Xian was bullied by Ke Qing at the dock, he never fought back. How could he possibly want to kill a rich man as soon as he arrived at Yujing Terrace?

Ningguang knew then that she was caught in a huge trap.

If he didn't agree to the man's conditions, the rich man could have kept the captain unconscious until Mu Xian was to be executed.

He was even... unable to wake up.

Thinking of this, Ningguang unconsciously quickened her pace as she reached out her hand.

The previously quiet point of light seemed to sense something and trembled in a rather human-like manner.

This tremor stunned Ningguang, and her heart trembled along with the light spot.

Her outstretched hand suddenly quickened; she wanted to grasp the point of light in front of her.

But the light spot was even faster than her; with a flash of gray light, it rushed back at an even greater speed.

It seems we're about to return to the ley lines.

—Back to the ley lines?

How could you do this!

—After planning for so long...

—I've endured it for so long...

—We're about to meet.

Ningguang, who always appeared shrewd and rational in front of everyone, suddenly gritted her teeth.

She rushed toward the hazy light as if she had made up her mind.

She knew, of course, that there was a railing in front of her, so she climbed over it.

She knew, of course, that there would be no foothold after she flipped over, so she fell downwards.

The sudden situation startled Ye Lan, who was standing nearby. She tried to use the Life-Binding Silk to hold back Ning Guang, who had jumped down from the Jade Pavilion.

However, the thread shimmering with pale blue light had just been extended when it was blasted away by a resolute force.

"Lord Ningguang!"

Bai Shi, on the other side, finally reacted. She screamed and shouted something towards the open space where Ning Guang had been standing, then looked at Ye Lan.

"Lord Yelan, is Lady Ningguang alright?"

"Do not worry."

Bai Shi's voice brought Ye Lan back to her senses from her previous worries.

"She is Tianquan, one of the seven stars of Liyue."

Ye Lan looked ahead with complicated emotions, hesitating whether she should jump down like Ning Guang...

In order to find Mu Xian's soul in the ley lines as soon as possible, the Qunyu Pavilion is not located at a high altitude on the Great Abyss.

The falling light was getting faster and faster, and just as it was about to touch the ground, the outstretched hand had already grabbed the gray light spot in front of it.

Driven by the power of the rock element, the falling condensed light quickly became floating in the air.

Ningguang, who had landed smoothly, looked at the light spot in her arms and felt a pang of heartache. How could things have turned out like this?

—It's all gray and doesn't look good at all.
