Hmm... Chu Luo nodded.

You've already said it, what else can I say?

It's pretty good to be given the title of a master; I'll just pretend I am one.

"You're too kind. Just call me Chu Luo. It's too much trouble to speak in such formal language."

Chu Luo smiled politely: "I'm quite familiar with Gan Yu and Ke Qing. We're not outsiders, so it's fine to just chat normally."

If we're going to use fancy language, one Zhongli would suffice. Speaking like that is too tiring; it's much more comfortable and enjoyable to speak plainly.

Of course, Chu Luo didn't know that Zhong Li wasn't so scholarly today.

"Then I'll call you the group owner, as we call each other in the chat group, okay?"

Ningguang's smile deepened, and she nodded: "Group leader, you can try this tea. It's from Qiaoying Manor in Northwest Liyue, and it's very famous in Liyue."

Oh wow, so this is the tea that Zhongli bought for 500,000?

However, Zhongli has been so busy these past two days that he hasn't been home at night and hasn't had a chance to drink his tea. I never expected that the first time would be for Tianquan Ningguang... This tea is really fragrant.

Chu Luo also knew the rules of drinking tea. He stirred the tea leaves, blew on them gently, and didn't know if it was right or wrong, but he just drank it.

Sipping tea, I awaited Ningguang's next words.

"Is there a spot available for the group leader for tomorrow's summoning ceremony?"

"I've got it. Xingqiu treated me to dinner last night and said he'd arrange a good seat for me."

Ningguang smiled and nodded upon hearing this: "I have heard about that. Please don't be offended, group leader. Some news always gets here, even if it's not something I care about."

"I understand. After all, how can you manage such a large place like Liyue Harbor without spies?"

Chu Luo nodded and said with a smile, "Ningguang, you must have something you want to ask me for, right? Don't be shy, just tell me what you want me to do. No need for formalities, we've been online friends for a while now, haven't we?"

Netizens?

what is that?

Ningguang hadn't heard of this new term before, but Chu Luo's carefree way of chatting made her smile, and her pursed lips made her look even more charming.

“The group leader speaks frankly and directly, which I admire. I invited the group leader here today because I have an important matter to ask you to handle.”

When it came to serious matters, Ningguang's expression immediately became serious: "The Summoning Ceremony is of great importance. In the past year, Liyue has seemed calm on the surface, but in reality, there are undercurrents that make me uneasy."

"After the Dragon Plague in Mondstadt, I've had a sense of urgency, a feeling that something big is about to happen. If anything goes wrong during tomorrow's summoning ceremony, I'd like to ask the group leader to help me out if necessary. Is that alright?"

Looking at Ningguang opposite him, Chu Luo felt a genuine sense of admiration.

Ningguang of Tianquan is incredibly wealthy. Most people in the world only see that Ningguang is rich and has a strong hand, but they don't see the hard work behind this woman.

From a barefoot little girl selling goods on the street to the man of Tianquan today, how many people know the hardships she has endured?

While one has God's-eye view and already knows everything, Ningguang, as someone involved, starts meticulously planning based solely on intuition—that's truly impressive.

Putting himself in her shoes, Chu Luo felt he wouldn't have done much better either.

"No problem, it's a small matter."

Chu Luo nodded: "If there's anything I can help you with during my time in Liyue, just let me know. This place is great."

Upon hearing Chu Luo's words, Ning Guang's serious expression relaxed, and she smiled again.

She stood up and bowed gracefully to Chu Luo's astonished gaze: "On behalf of the Seven Stars and the people of Liyue, I would like to thank the group leader in advance."

"Liyue is no longer the era of immortals. As Keqing said, perhaps it is time for Liyue to change."

"I have another question: why did the group admin help me so readily?"

With her final question, Ningguang looked into Chu Luo's eyes; this was something she couldn't understand.

I'm not really familiar with the group owner; we only know each other through the group. Why is that?

"Um……"

Chu Luo blinked, scrutinizing the beautiful and wealthy woman for a moment: "Perhaps it's because... Miss Ningguang is too beautiful?"

Crack... The sound of shattering porcelain rang out from outside the door.

Then Baiwen's somewhat nervous voice came through: "Lady Ningguang, the kettle is broken, I'll go get a new one right away..."

Inside the room, Chu Luo saw surprise and a momentary blankness in the eyes of Lord Tianquan.

The next moment, Ningguang's cheeks flushed slightly, and her imposing aura vanished instantly.

In Liyue, since I became one of the Seven Stars, when have I ever heard such words?

For an ordinary person, Ningguang would be completely unaware, but this person is the group leader, a mysterious figure who can deal with a powerful being like the Wind Demon Dragon with a wave of his hand.

"The group owner is also very handsome. I recently heard that someone at the market has arranged a marriage for the group owner. I wonder which girl will be lucky enough to get married?"

Chu Luo, who thought he had won, almost spat out his tea when he heard these words.

Well, is the old lady in Liyue also a time traveler?

Chapter 150 Spiral Deep Within Tourism Industry

The first largest group in Teyvat.

Kaia: Bennett, where are you? [Question]

[Amber: Strange, I've gone around in circles twice and still can't find Bennett. Bennett, where are you? @Bennett]

[Jean: Can't find Bennett? Are there monsters on the island? [Worried]]

[Kaeya: No, that's strange. There's only a very unusual door, like the entrance to a secret realm, but I don't know where it leads.]

Noelle: Bennett didn't sneak inside, did he...?

[Amber: This gate is strange; it has a lot of writing on it. Let me take a picture and show it to you.]

Amber: [Image][Image]

[Thoma: What kind of advertisement is this? [Curious]]

[Goro: The Abyss Order Spiral Management Association? [Speechless]]

[Yanfei: It takes Mora to enter once? [Shocked]]

[Jean: Bennett didn't really go inside, did he? What should we do? [Nervous]]

Amber: Let's go in and take a look too.

[Kaiya: Let me ask Chu Luo if this place is dangerous @Chu Luo, is the group admin there?]

[Chu Luo: Not here]

[Kaiya: ...Chulo, do you know where this is? Did Bennett run in there? [Question]]

[Chu Luo: Great place, you'll see once you go in [winking emoji]]

[Beidou: Looks pretty good. Are all those things about treasures and breakthroughs in strength written on it true? [Interested]]

[Chu Luo: Hmm, as long as you have the strength, the treasure is yours. [Calm]]

[Qin: Can I come out after I go in?]

[Chu Luo: You can come out anytime. We'll see. The Spiral Abyss is known as the testing ground for geniuses and trash. We can put it to the test. [thumbs up]]

[Sugar: The place managed by the Abyss Order... um... is it really okay?]

[Abedo: I'll go with the group admin another day. Let's not go today. @Sugar]

Sugar: Mmm

Diluc: The combat strength of these two... is quite interesting.

[Kaeya: Diluchu, what are you so smug about?]

Amber: Let's go in and find Bennett, and see if there's any treasure while we're at it~ Hehe~ [Eager to try]

[Yura: Be careful @Amber]

[Kaiya: I'll go in and take a look too. 998 Mora per use, that's a pretty good price [nodding]]

[Jean: Watch out, @Kaeya @Amber, once you find Bennett, come out quickly!]

……

At the entrance to the Spiral Abyss, Kaeya and Amber observed carefully for quite a while.

After confirming there was no other way, Kaeya and Amber stared at the words that appeared above and poured their elemental power into the gate one after the other.

So, the Mora self-service coin-operated machine next to it opened its mouth again, waiting for the two to feed Mora.

"998 Mora, that's enough to drink several bottles of dandelion wine..."

"If Captain Kaiya thinks he's poor, then I must be even poorer. I still have to treat Yura to dinner this month..."

The two of them each took a pile of Mora from the Eye of God and put it into the machine.

As the Mora clanged and clattered into the coin-operated machine, the entrance to the Spiral Abyss underwent a wondrous transformation.

"Please enter the Spiral Abyss within ten seconds. The great Goddess of the Abyss Moon will bestow a mysterious blessing. Praise be to the Goddess of the Abyss Moon!"

"Friendly reminder: If you can't hold on any longer, just shout 'I want to quit' to exit the Spiral Abyss challenge. Good luck!"

A new clue appeared, and Kaeya and Amber exchanged a glance.

"Amber, be careful."

"Captain Kaiya too."

As the two stopped resisting, a suction force pulled them into the vortex, and then the area returned to calm.

……

Unknown lands.

There is a huge building here, a spiral cylinder from top to bottom. Through the hazy mist, you can see a series of circular platforms, which are very neat from top to bottom.

At the edge of the fog was a huge red moon, from which a soft, faint light emanated, enveloping the entire building.

This is the Spiral Abyss, a popular tourist destination operated by the Abyss Order.

People with considerable strength often come here to check in and test their power.
