Liyue is a land of etiquette. When it comes to elders and friends, especially on special occasions, sometimes an unintentional act of courtesy can win their favor. Ningguang always keeps this in mind.
Especially when it comes to the older generation.
Although she didn't know how Su Chen managed to grow younger with age, no matter how his appearance changed, his age was still there.
She belongs to her grandfather's generation.
The older generation pays even more attention to etiquette.
After finishing their meal, Ningguang instructed her secretary to settle the bill, but Su Chen stopped her.
"Send the bill to the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce," Su Chen said with a smile. "Give it to Luo Minghe and say that Su Chen sent it. He will know what to do."
Ningguang's expression brightened with joy: "Thank you for your kindness, senior."
With Su Chen's words, he was essentially taking over the previous matter. With the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce joining in to open up the sea route, the work ahead would be much simpler.
Of course, she also values that two billion yuan deal.
...
the other side.
Ying never expected that after coming to Liyue to participate in the Immortal Invitation Ceremony, she would be dragged away by this immortal named Fa Nan to collect the Xuanyuan Sword.
What?
What did you say?
Has the story mission been updated?
She was prepared to run away, after all, accidentally pulling out someone's treasure could mean jail time or even execution. But now, not only has she escaped punishment, she's also triggered a series of quests: pulling out the sword.
Family, get me the Sword-Drawing Divine Song!
"Speaking of which, Traveler, how did you manage to pull out the Xuanyuan Sword? Are you related to the Human Emperor?"
On his way to the next Xuanyuan Sword, Paimon asked the question that had been bothering him.
"I don't know, I just had this feeling at the time, so I gave it a try."
After Ying finished speaking, she looked at Paimon and said, "Weren't you also cheering me on and telling me to go up?"
Paimon chuckled and said, "You wouldn't happen to be a descendant of the Human Emperor, would you?"
Ying thought to herself, "I'm even older than that human emperor."
More than that, she was concerned about why the Rock King Emperor wanted her to draw the sword. Wasn't it supposed to be the sword that would determine the fate of the Nine Provinces? Was it really okay to draw it?
"Sigh~ I wish Su Chen could come along too."
Paimon suddenly sighed.
I always feel uneasy when the big boss isn't around.
"Who is Su Chen?" Fa Nan asked curiously. In fact, she had heard their whispered conversation perfectly, but she just didn't say anything.
"Su Chen came to Liyue with us, but he's a diplomat from Mondstadt, here to attend the Summoning Ceremony... Let me tell you, he's amazing, he knows everything, and he has a lot of impressive friends too!"
"Wow, humans are amazing."
Hearing Fa Nan's dismissive tone, Paimon snorted, "Don't underestimate Su Chen. After hearing about our story yesterday, he immediately thought of the energy accumulating under the Xuanyuan Sword! And he even knows the Wind God; they're friends!"
"Oh?"
Now, Fa Nan became somewhat interested.
Becoming friends with the Wind God is truly extraordinary.
"Hmm, he has some ability, but he's still far from being as good as the Human Emperor. He's only considered one of the better humans," Fanan said. "He's probably about one ten-thousandth as good as the Human Emperor."
Paimon tilted his head: "Is the Human Emperor really that powerful?"
"Of course!" Fanan said with some pride, "He is the most powerful human in the world!" After saying that, he lowered his eyes and his expression became somewhat lonely. The Human Emperor has been gone for thousands of years.
Ying and Paimon exchanged a glance, and the latter comforted her, "It's alright. Liyue is doing so well now, the Human Emperor must be very pleased. Maybe you'll dream about him when you go to sleep tonight."
"Thank you, Paimon, I feel much better now." Fanan laughed. "By the way, tell me about that guy named Su Chen."
The long journey was boring, but I quite enjoyed listening to interesting stories.
Then, upon listening to the conversation, it turned out that the person in question was actually from Liyue. What kind of animal linguist is she? She can communicate with animals. That's amazing.
"Shh!"
At this moment, Fa Nan raised his hand, signaling the two to stop talking.
"what happened?"
"There's someone over there."
As they approached the Xuanyuan Sword, Ying and Paimon looked out and saw a group of people surrounding it.
"It's the fools."
What are they doing here?
The armed attire of that group was clearly that of the Fools.
“What are the Fools?” Vanan asked.
"Hmm... they're from the Winterlands. These people are very powerful, but Captain Jean said the Fatui are not trustworthy, so we should still be careful." Although the lady's attack hadn't been exposed, they had heard about the Fatui's actions in Mondstadt, so the two remained wary of them.
Vanan didn't pay much attention; in her eyes, all humans looked pretty much the same. But seeing the Fools trying to draw their swords one by one, she couldn't help but laugh.
That big fat guy, doesn't he know his own limitations?
Just then, a blue-haired man wearing a mask stepped out from among the crowd.
The foolish warriors quickly made way.
"Who is this person?" Fa Nan stared at the other person, her intuition telling her that this person was not simple.
"I don't know, I've never seen him before, maybe he's a big-headed captain," Paimon said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the blue-haired masked man reached out and grasped the Xuanyuan Sword. The three of them thought it was another failure, but a terrifying power suddenly surged from the man.
Boom!
The moment the Xuanyuan Sword was drawn, the entire earth seemed to be pulled, emitting a violent tremor.
Fa Nan was taken aback and realized something was wrong.
"Something's not right, there's something fishy about that guy!"
She was about to make a move when she was stopped by a sudden voice.
"Vanan, wait a moment."
Swish!
A figure appeared.
She has long, fiery red hair, pale purple eyes, a small flame symbol on her forehead, and a diamond pattern on each side.
The girl looked very young, but she was full of spirit.
"Yingda?" Fanan tilted his head. "What are you doing here?"
Yaksha Indah, her good sister.
“Of course I’m here. I’ve been following that guy for quite some time now,” Yingda said.
"But didn't you go to Cengyan with Brother Fushe?"
"Oh, Minu went with them. I have something to do here."
Pointing to the blue-haired man, Yingda said with a serious expression, "That guy is called Doctor. He's an executive officer of the Fatui. He's been researching the Xuanyuan Sword since he came to Liyue. I'm keeping an eye on him."
About a month ago, Yingda discovered the Fools who were always loitering around the Xuanyuan Sword. She originally just told Qixing about it and asked him to handle it.
Unexpectedly, half a month ago, Seven Stars' intelligence discovered that the Doctor had arrived in Liyue. Because the Ascension Ceremony was imminent, they had no time to attend to it, so they could only ask Yingda for help.
Yingda originally wanted to resolve the issue in the simplest way—through violence. However, she had recently fought with the doctor, and although they didn't end up fighting, the latter's strength made her wary.
"He's going to draw his sword!" Paimon suddenly shouted.
The ground tremors became more and more obvious. Unlike Ying, who directly pulled out the Xuanyuan Sword, she gained the approval of the Xuanyuan Sword's will and therefore found it easy. The Doctor, on the other hand, clearly used force to suppress it directly.
“Don’t worry, he can’t pull it out,” Yingda said. “This is the Emperor’s sword. Even if it’s split into nine pieces, not just anyone can pull it out.”
Indeed, the doctor couldn't pull it out, but his power was influencing the Xuanyuan Sword.
The Xuanyuan Sword was split into nine, and its power was naturally far less than before. In addition, the remnants of demons and gods accumulated under the Xuanyuan Sword were surging. At this time, combined with the doctor's power, it caused the entire surrounding mountain range to shake violently.
"We can't let him release the remnants of the demon god inside!"
Fa Nan's gaze sharpened, and his figure transformed into a water elemental as he rushed out.
Boom~~
Before the fools could react, they were swept away by the torrent of water.
"Hmm?" The doctor, who was drawing his sword, raised an eyebrow. Sensing the power gathered by the sword, he had no choice but to temporarily abandon drawing his sword and stop it.
The two forces collided, and Fa Nan staggered back a few steps, staring warily at the Doctor.
She didn't gain any advantage in the exchange just now.
The fact that the opponent could achieve this in such a rushed confrontation speaks volumes about their strength.
"Fight the difficulties!"
Yingda and Ying rushed out immediately.
"Oh? The fairies of Liyue, huh? I am somewhat interested in you, but not now." The Doctor smiled calmly, seemingly unaffected by his current situation.
"Human, leave this place! The Xuanyuan Sword is not something you can covet!"
He spoke sternly and forcefully.
Ying's taking the Xuanyuan Sword was an accident. Fa Nan could sense that Ying was a 'good girl', and in the end, the Emperor acquiesced to it.
But she could tell at a glance that the Doctor was no good.
The Xuanyuan Sword, even the Holy Sword, is the weapon of the Human Emperor. How could it fall into the hands of such a person?
"Heh~ Such a divine artifact has been left to gather dust here for thousands of years. It's such a pity." The doctor shook his head slightly. "You have no idea of its value. This is a sword that can slay gods. It should stand high in the sky and look down on all living beings. But now it can only be buried here."
