To put it more elegantly, it was a leisurely stroll through the mortal world.
Of course, which of the other six countries doesn't know that the Fools are causing trouble like crazy?
Even if he said he was a nobody, no one would believe him. Instead, it would make a bunch of people go crazy, wondering how much bad he might be up to.
“Dio…” Ningguang chuckled softly with her eyes closed. “No, it’s definitely more comfortable to hear Qin Ye call out to you. You were originally from Liyue?”
Qin Ye shrugged: "No, it's just that I personally prefer this name. I'm a native of Zhidong."
"I see."
Although the other party said they wanted to chat, Ningguang never let her guard down.
I heard that the Fool participated in politics in the Winter Kingdom when he was only twelve years old.
Originally, the "Rich Man" wanted to take full control of Teyvat's economy and took many radical measures. It was only through the "Fool's" checks and balances from behind that the circulation of Mora was kept at a normal level.
Even his strength has always been a mystery. She originally thought that such a young man was just a politician, but she did not expect that even Ye Lan was no match for him.
"You still maintain a high level of vigilance towards me. Not to brag, but as the twelfth seat, I should be on Liyue's very important list, right?"
Ningguang smiled gently, lightly stirring the tea with the lid of her teapot: "Of course, in terms of hospitality, you are even better than the [young girl]."
Isn't it because that scheming, introverted girl rarely goes out...?
Having known each other for so long, he really knows his other colleagues very well.
“You know I’m not talking about that kind of list.”
“Liyue has always welcomed friends and wouldn’t do those things.” Ningguang appeared very calm, showing no signs of being caught off guard.
"Then let's just say that."
Qin Ye continued speaking to himself: "You should know that my principles of conduct are rather moderate and balanced. Sending someone like me to Liyue means that I will at least not do evil."
"Of course I know that."
But what I fear most is people like you stirring up trouble!
"The main reason I came to Liyue this time is to manage the subordinates of a certain useless senior and prevent them from causing any trouble."
"Senior?" Ningguang frowned.
How many more Executors will the Fools send to Liyue?
"Yes, the eighth seat of the Fatui is a diplomat, but she is currently busy with her work in Mondstadt and cannot leave, so I am temporarily filling in. My presence here is essentially like taking a vacation."
The kind of thing that might only happen once every fifty years.
Qin Ye sighed inwardly.
Tianquan Ningguang...
The more people talk to her about this kind of person, the more likely it is to trigger a chain of speculations in her mind. It would be better to use Rosalyn as a shield.
As for how many troubles she will encounter after arriving in Liyue...
Rosalind's predicament is none of my business, Dionysus's business.
"On holiday? I didn't expect you to have such leisure time." Ningguang, seeing that she couldn't get any more information out of him, was already planning to end the conversation.
"Someone is reimbursing all my expenses; wouldn't it be a huge loss not to make good use of this opportunity?"
Qin Ye reached into his pocket and pulled out his last trump card.
An exquisitely carved jade box was pushed out, its surface warm and smooth to the touch. As the lid was opened, a flawless thumb ring lay quietly inside.
"I've heard that noble sons from various countries would even offer treasures or large orders that could easily shake a nation just to make you smile. Although I am nothing special, after seeing your beautiful face, I still want to express my feelings."
Ningguang paused for a moment, but quickly regained her smiling expression: "It is indeed a fine jade. Just the container used to hold it, plus the carving, is priceless. You are very kind."
She reached out and accepted the gift, acknowledging the other person's thoughtfulness.
"With such a beautiful woman by my side, it's truly a pity how quickly time flies. I've already taken up quite a bit of your time today, so I'll take my leave now."
Qin Ye slowly stood up, took the other person's hand in a gentlemanly manner, and performed the winter-like hand-kissing ceremony.
Ningguang nodded politely: "I have other important matters to attend to, so I cannot see you off any further."
Today's meeting finally came to an end. Watching Qin Ye walk away, she sighed deeply.
"Congratulations, Lord Tianquan! You've managed to make the executor of the Fools fall at your feet in just one encounter."
Ye Lan emerged from behind the screen, a meaningful smile on her lips.
Chapter 6 Famous Buildings of Liyue
Ningguang's face showed anger.
She picked up the folding fan on the table and tapped Ye Lan on the shoulder: "Now is not the time for jokes. Tomorrow, the news that Dionysus is pursuing the Radiant Light of the Celestial Power will probably spread throughout the streets and alleys."
"So certain?"
"Of course, the Fools will naturally go along with it from behind, so if I target him or have too much interaction with him, it will become fodder for gossip."
She maintained an elegant and dignified, yet undeniably aloof, distance from her numerous suitors.
Paying too much attention to this executive could have irreparable consequences, thereby affecting the resources at our disposal.
After all, jealousy is a terrible thing.
Similarly, although the Fool and the Rich disagree on political views, who knows about their private relationship?
As Liyue's greatest enemy at present, she has had many opportunities to clash with the "Rich Man," in fact, quite frequently.
Ye Lan chuckled: "He really is an interesting person. So, it means I'll have to take care of things related to him from now on?"
"Well, that's all we can do. We also need to send someone to investigate the [Lady] who's far away in Mondstadt. Whether what he said is true or false, we need to prepare in advance."
Ningguang pressed her brow, feeling a slight headache. She hadn't expected that a mere ten-minute conversation would bring so many worries.
Was selling out his teammates also part of his plan?
Ye Lan casually sat down in the chair and waved her hand: "How much of what he said do you think is believable?"
"If he was 70% credible before he gave away the ring, now he's less than 30% credible in my mind."
The man's defense was not passive; given his identity as a diplomat, Liyue could not interfere with him too much.
For her, it was necessary to keep track of his every move and constantly try to figure out his elusive thoughts.
In the conversation just now, the other party confirmed the only thing that needed to be confirmed—Liyue is very wary of him.
From now on, he just needs to deal with whatever comes his way.
"So, last time you asked me to be the successor of Seven Stars, how could I possibly agree? Actually, I had a pretty good impression of Qin Ye in private, but who knew he would become a different person once we sat down at the negotiating table."
“Let’s put him in there,” Ningguang decided.
"I think so too."
What they call "that" is a secret intelligence list from Liyue's intelligence department, containing truly dangerous individuals who could threaten Liyue.
His extensive experience in handling crises told him that the person must have a grand purpose.
I'm afraid I'll have to explore the Fools' territory more often from now on.
It's actually quite exciting to think about.

"Brother Qin Ye, how did the negotiations go?"
Tatiana looked somewhat worried.
"Of course, they'll then focus their energy on some boring things."
Take your time guessing; even if you rack your brains, you still won't figure out what I'm going to do.
You think we're on the same level, but actually you're on the fifth level, while I'm in the atmosphere.
Qin Ye reached out and touched the girl's head. Unlike in winter, Li Yue's clothes were much more revealing.
The girl's headdress and robes had been completely removed, revealing her fair and beautiful back.
"So what preparations should we make for the next step?"
She was in high spirits, after all, it had been a long time since she had been able to help Qin Ye.
"Walk with me for a bit, then go back to the mansion that the Fools bought to rest, and while you're at it, make a few notes for me."
"Please speak!"
“New Moon Pavilion, Glazed Pavilion, Wanmin Hall, Mingxingzhai, Wanyou Shop, Heyu Tea House, Three Bowls Without Crossing the Harbour, Chunxiang Kiln and Yanshang Tea House.
Tatiana took out paper and pen from the mysterious four-dimensional "ravine" and carefully recorded her notes.
She clenched her fist to encourage herself: "Don't worry, I'll definitely find out their location by tomorrow morning!"
"No need to rush, getting enough rest is the most important thing."
Qin Ye put his arm around hers, gesturing for her to take his arm.
"Well..."
Although we often do this when we go shopping in private, it's not appropriate in a foreign country!
Then he put his arm on it.
"These places you mentioned are all very important, aren't they? Crescent Moon Pavilion and Glazed Pavilion sound like offices for clerical staff, Wanmin Hall? Is it an intelligence organization? Star Studio..."
Could it be that this is a place in Liyue used to cultivate future great figures?
Teahouses are places where all sorts of people mingle, perfect for making connections. "Three bowls and you're out of the water?" Who would guess? But Brother Qin Ye must have his reasons for doing this.
Seeing that the other person had started to let their thoughts wander wildly, Qin Ye quickly spoke up to stop them.
"Ah no no no, the first three places are for eating, Mingxingzhai and Wanyoupuzi are for buying antiques and curios, and Heyu Teahouse and Sanwanbuguogang are for drinking tea and listening to music."
"Hey?"
Tatiana felt her expression instantly collapse, her lips twitching: "What about the last two?"
"Chunxiang Kiln is purely a personal interest of mine, cough cough, just a simple interest, nothing more. I went to Yanshang Tea House to meet a friend."
Is Chun Chun Chun Chun Xiang Yao the kind of place I'm thinking of?!
