Jiang Ning said, "Don't misunderstand, I just made a deal with some people to protect your life in a critical moment, but other things are not within my business scope."

Ying was somewhat disappointed, but more than that, she was curious: "Who is it? How could someone like that possibly get the attention of a great master like you?"

Jiang Ning said, "Don't worry about who it is, it won't do you any harm anyway."

Xin Hai said, "Is this person... very powerful? Would he be willing to be hired by our resistance army?"

My current state of mind is to do everything I can to gather all the power I can.

Jiang Ning said, "No way. First of all, I'm here representing Liyue. I'm only protecting Ying because she's a friend of Liyue. If things get bad, I'll take Ying away. I won't interfere with your resistance. This is your Inazuma's internal affair..."

"Furthermore, I don't think your Haiqi Island has anything to offer that would sway me to stand on your side. You should know that the person on the other side is General Thunder, one of the seven most revered gods in the mortal world."

Xin Hai hurriedly said, "Whatever the conditions, please tell us, perhaps we can..."

"Xinhai, you don't need to say anything more. You really can't afford this price," Ying couldn't help but say.

My mind calmed down, and I listened attentively.

Ying said, "Can't you, Haiqi Island, have Liyue stand directly behind you, which is tantamount to declaring war on Inazuma?"

Xin Hai said, "Of course not. Even if we sold Haiqi Island, we couldn't afford the price. But what does that have to do with asking Jiang Ning for help?"

Ying glanced at Jiang Ning: "Can I say?"

Jiang Ning nodded: "Yes, you can..."

Now that he no longer needs to fear General Thunder's gaze, it doesn't matter if he's exposed.

Ying cleared her throat and said:

“Once Jiang Ning makes a move against General Raiden, it will be equivalent to Liyue and Inazuma starting a divine war. Then, Inazuma and Liyue will directly start a national war... Moreover, Inazuma will inevitably perish, and if your Haiqi Island has to pay the price... then it will have to belong entirely to Liyue.”

"Huh? A war of gods? Is it that serious?"

Xin Hai was still a little confused, perhaps because he had just woken up.

Ying said, "Yes, Jiang Ning, Morax's disciple, was personally acknowledged by Morax during the last Ascension Ceremony and the Ascension Sending Ceremony of the Geo Archon. He will gradually inherit his position and become the second Geo Archon of Liyue. He is now the only candidate for Geo Archon."

"Moreover, Ningguang of Tianquan Star is Jiang Ning's fiancée, and Keqing and Jiang Ning have a very good relationship."

"Gan Yu, the chief secretary of the Seven Stars, is also Jiang Ning's fiancée. Jiang Ning himself is a disciple of the immortals and the only male in this generation... He is a very favored figure among all the immortals."

"Do you think Inazuma has any chance of winning against two gods, one of whom is a war god known for his fighting prowess?"

Jiang Ning's identity shocked Xin Hai.

Who would have thought that this seemingly harmless, handsome young man was actually a god? And this really is a case of one small change affecting everything…

Xin Hai was no longer going to discuss hiring anyone, just as Ying had said, they simply couldn't afford to hire anyone.

And don't let your own Haiqi Island become a military commander of Liyue, a sinner on this side.

161. Jiangning in a serious manner

Just as Ying was praising Jiang Ning's identity, Paimon also said:

"Speaking of which, Ying, you always talk about Jiang Ning, why don't you think about yourself? You're being chased by General Lei Dian, go find your brother! I suddenly remembered, if it were Kong, he wouldn't have to be afraid of General Lei Dian, right?"

null?

Jiang Ning silently pricked up his ears; it seemed this traveler's brother was quite a formidable character as well.

Ying glared at Paimon irritably and said, "Why are you being so nosy? I don't care about Kong. He's like a riddle... Besides, he definitely won't care about me either."

Paimon said with a grin, "Don't say that. After all, Ying is Sora's sister. If something happens to you in Inazuma, something will definitely happen to Inazuma too."

"Ying's brother seems to be an important person as well? What does he do?"

Xin Hai hurriedly asked.

If Jiang Ning can't fight for it herself, then Ying's family should be able to, right?

After all, Ying is a traveler from outer space, so there won't be any issues with national stances.

Ying covered her face, somewhat embarrassed: "If Sora really makes a move, then Inazuma will still be gone..."

"what?"

My mind is filled with questions.

Paimon said awkwardly, "Because Ying's brother, Kong, is the prince of the Abyss Order, and those Abyss Mages and Abyss Chanters are all Kong's subordinates..."

"Ah this..."

Although Xin Hai did not understand, he was deeply shocked.

Is this because I'm in bad luck today?

It's not easy to find someone who can resolve the chaos caused by Inazuma, but what happened? They're a deity from Liyue, and there's no way to ask them for help.

I've also heard of someone who can rival General Thunder.

Prince of the Abyss, I dare not invite you.

Both of them were careless, and Inazuma was gone.

Why does Inazuma seem so weak?

Life is tough, I sigh with sorrow.

Damn, I'm so tired.

Reduce the energy in your heart by one, reduce it by one.

"Never mind, Ying, what's the matter that you came to see me about?"

Both sides tacitly avoided mentioning the diary.

Ying quickly said, "It was Goro and the others who said they hadn't seen you in a long time and were worried that something might have happened to you, so they sent me out to look for you."

Xin Hai nodded: "Okay, I'll go back with you right away. So, this... uh, Your Excellency?"

Jiang Ning said, "Just call me by my name. Don't worry too much about my divine status."

Xin Hai could only say, "Then, Mr. Jiang Ning, since you said you wanted to go with Ying, then come back with us as well."

Jiang Ning nodded: "Okay."

The group walked towards the rebel camp. Paimon floated to Jiang Ning's side and asked in a fawning manner:

"Jiangning, is there anything good to eat? For so long, all we've had is roasted melon and hard dry rations. Paimon has gotten so thin from hunger."

Ying curled her lip dismissively. "You've gotten thinner from starvation? Give me a break, how could that be? Yesterday, you, Paimon, were shouting how delicious it was, and then tearfully devoured three large bowls of rice."

The rebels almost ate you out of house and home; in the end, I was the only one who managed to feed you by going out hunting...

Xin Hai's face showed some disappointment. "I'm so sorry I couldn't make sure you ate your fill, but everyone in the resistance isn't getting enough to eat..."

Reduce the energy in your heart by one, reduce it by one.

Jiang Ning said, "Yes, if you really can't get enough to eat from the Qu Chen Ge Pot, Senior Sister Gan Yu and Senior Sister Shen He are always there. Just tell them to have Xiang Ling make some for you."

It would have been better if we hadn't brought this up, because as soon as we did, Paimon got all fuming:

"I'm going to complain about this. Ying said she had to share the hardships with everyone in the resistance, so she made me eat this stuff with her. Humph."

Ying said, "We're here to escape disaster, after all. We can't just eat the good stuff and let others see us, can we? But if we have that much Mora, Xiangling isn't doing charity work. We don't have that much Mora."

Perhaps because Jiang Ning had arrived, Paimon stamped his foot:

"I don't care, I'm going to eat something delicious tonight."

Jiang Ning said, "Okay, then let's eat something good tonight. If it's really not good, you can just eat in your room. You don't need to eat outside with everyone."

Xin Hai also said, "Yes, Ying, don't worry too much about us."

Ying hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Well, okay then."

Paimon cheered, "Yay! Tonight I want boiled black-backed bass, sweet stuffed chicken, and oh yeah, Tian Shu meat and Mora meat!"

"It's all meat anyway, right?" Ying said irritably.

Jiang Ning said, "Okay, no problem, I'll talk to my senior sister about it later."

"Yay! Jiang Ning, you're the best! Even better than Ying!"

Ying was furious: "So, you're the kind of person who only cares about whoever feeds them, huh? I've been raising you for nothing!"

Paimon chuckled and went to fawn over Ying again, after all, she was his long-term meal ticket.

Upon arriving at the rebel camp, they saw some rebel soldiers patrolling, their armor and weapons in disarray.

Add to that their energy and the way they walked, and honestly, calling them a rabble would be an understatement.

However, some of the weapons and equipment on these people... why do they look so familiar?

"Isn't this a weapon that Liyue discarded? Where did you get this?"

Jiang Ning's expression turned serious, and he asked somewhat unfriendly.

Although a batch of these items will be disposed of after being eliminated by the Thousand Rock Army, they are either sealed away or reforged.

Why are you here?

Xin Hai said, "This...this..."

Jiang Ning looked at Xin Hai seriously: "I hope you can give me a satisfactory explanation."

Faced with the oppressive feeling of a deity, Xin Hai broke out in a cold sweat.

Finally, Ying explained, "These were sold by Hokuto-nee. Didn't Hokuto-nee have some weapons from the Chiiwa Army as armaments for the ship before? Then she sold the surplus, the discarded ones..."

Jiang Ning had a bit of a headache; this must be Beidou taking pity on him.

But Beidou, what you're doing is utter nonsense! Selling obsolete weapons to a country in a civil war, and these are clearly weapons from the Thousand Rock Army... Are you trying to drag Liyue down with you?

what?

If they really take this seriously, it could become a very serious diplomatic issue.

When I get back, I must talk about BeiDou.

And aren't Ningguang and Keqing going to do anything about it?
