Genshin Impact: I, the Winter Prince, reign supreme.

There was only one purpose in doing this: to make Yelan believe in the ancestral apparition!

Of course, Su Yu didn't believe that a simple gamble could make Ye Lan believe him completely.

Sure enough, the next day, Ye Lan started throwing the luck dice early in the morning, wanting to test the effect of the luck dice a second time.

Under Su Yu's manipulation, the luck dice rolled a 1 this time.

Odd numbers signify bad luck.

Ye Lan scratched her head, completely baffled as to why she had rolled such a terrible number.

She decided to stay home and avoid contact with anyone today to ward off bad luck.

Back inside, he immediately locked the door.

Not long after, she received an urgent secret report from her subordinates.

After reading the intelligence, she felt a sudden darkness before her eyes and almost fainted.

Yelan's true identity is a mystery to many, and even the members of the "Liyue Seven Stars" are unaware of her background.

In fact, she is Ningguang's special intelligence officer.

However, it is not a superior-subordinate relationship, but a cooperative one.

In recent years, Yelan has disguised himself as a mercenary from Sumeru, an adventurer from Fontainebleau, and a fisherman from Mondstadt, taking on various roles and risking his life to travel across the six kingdoms, gathering much important intelligence.

This intelligence, after being compiled and edited, became two of Liyue's most important intelligence documents—

The List of Special Concerns and the List of Secret Intelligence.

The first book lists extraordinary people and events from various countries, as well as some immortals from Liyue, and some information even involves demon gods.

The second book records dangerous characters who could threaten Liyue, including Fatui enforcers, Abyss forces, and even gods.

These two intelligence reports, the culmination of her hard work, are her badges of honor as she walks in the shadows.

Due to the special nature and importance of these two intelligence reports, only high-ranking personnel in Liyue are allowed to access them, and photocopying is prohibited; therefore, only one copy exists.

However, the original manuscripts of these two intelligence reports were damp and moldy, and the writing on them was completely illegible until they were discovered by staff this morning.

Her years of hard work were destroyed in an instant.

Ye Lan was both heartbroken and furious, and insisted on going to the scene.

When she arrived at the location, all the staff members lowered their heads, too intimidated by her fierce gaze to utter a sound.

"Such an important item, how could it get damp and moldy? Are you all incompetent?!"

"Lord Yelan, this is truly not our fault. In the past two months, only you have entered the secret room to review intelligence. That day you left the Eye of God inside. We deduce that the leaked water element may have caused this incident."

Yelan suddenly remembered that after reviewing the intelligence that day, she suddenly thought of a way to disguise herself and infiltrate the Fools. So she dressed up in the secret room and casually took off the Eye of God from her body.

So it seems the "murderer" is actually himself!

The Eye of God does indeed have a tiny probability of spontaneously emitting elemental power when not under human control; this has happened before.

Last year in Liyue, an unlucky guy put a Pyro Vision in his house, which caused a huge fire.

I never imagined that such an unlucky thing would happen to me.

Getting angry won't help; you can only accept your bad luck.

Ye Lan was in a terrible mood, so she went to a tavern, ordered a table of food and drinks, and drank heavily.

Upon returning to the Yanshang Tea House, she discovered that her bracelet was missing, and she instantly broke down.

She was already angry and sad for a long time after the Fools took one of her jade bracelets, but who would have thought that she would lose her second bracelet too!

Suddenly, a torrential downpour began outside.

Ye Lan, disregarding her umbrella, frantically rushed back to the tavern, only to be told by the tavern owner that he hadn't seen her jade bracelet.

Ye Lan returned to the street and searched carefully along the way.

However, there were many pedestrians on the street before the rain, so there was a high chance that someone else picked up the bracelet, and it's probably very difficult to find it again.

Finally, Ye Lan squatted dejectedly in the downpour, sobbing sadly.

Not far away, there was a tall restaurant.

On the top floor of the restaurant, two figures stood: Su Yu and the lady of the Hidden Mirror.

Su Yu held two jade bracelets in his hands.

The one that Ye Lan lost was actually secretly moved by him while Ye Lan was drinking at the tavern.

"Your Highness, Miss Yelan has been gathering intelligence for a long time and has an excellent mental fortitude. She shouldn't be so fragile, right?"

The lady in the mirror held up a black umbrella for Su Yu and asked in confusion.

"Yelan's family is a very ancient sorcerer family in Liyue. This pair of jade bracelets is the only relic left by her ancestor Boyang. They carry the glory of their family's glorious period, as well as their longing and remembrance of their ancestor. They are of special and great significance."

"In Yelan's eyes, the Eye of God is not as important as these jade bracelets."

Su Yu answered softly.

Although Yelan is Ningguang's special intelligence officer, while helping Ningguang gather information, she is also searching for the reason why her ancestors fell.

Five hundred years ago, apart from the immortals and the Emperor, no one else in Liyue knew the details of that great battle.

The immortals lived in seclusion deep in the mountains, keeping silent about the great battle of that year.

As for the Emperor, even Ningguang had never seen him, let alone an intelligence officer like her.

Therefore, she needs to find the truth herself.

In this respect, she is quite similar to the traveler Sora; both are searching for answers from the past...

Hearing the mournful cries carried on the wind and rain, the lady with the hidden mirror felt sympathy and asked, "Will Your Highness return the bracelet to her?"

"tomorrow."

Su Yu gave an exact time.

The next morning.

The sky cleared after the rain.

After a night of heartbreak, Ye Lan started throwing the luck dice again.

The number 4 is an even number; good luck today.

"Sigh, what's the use of good luck now? The bracelet is already lost."

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

She opened the door, and the bright sunlight outside was dazzling.

The subordinates' smiles were as radiant as the sunshine.

"Lord Yelan, good news!"

“A passerby found the jade bracelet last night and handed it over to Qian Yanjun this morning. Qian Yanjun knew that you lost the bracelet last night, so he specially brought it over to ask if it was yours.”

Ye Lan looked at the jade bracelet in his hand and was immediately overjoyed.

That familiar elemental force was the very one she had lost.

The Luck Dice are amazing!

From that moment on, Yelan fully believed that the Fortune Dice was an opportunity left to her by her ancestors.

If you use this die well, you can achieve good fortune and avoid misfortune in many things.

Chapter 97 Marriage

After a night of despair, Ye Lan was so moved by the return of her ancestral jade bracelet that she wanted to cry.

"It's inconvenient for me to show up in person, so please give him these Mora as my reward."

The subordinate took the heavy money bag and roughly estimated that it contained at least several hundred thousand Mora, which was not a small amount.

"Lord Yelan is kind and compassionate; no wonder even the heavens are on your side."

"It wasn't God who helped me, but the luck dice. You go ahead and take care of your business, and close the door behind you."

Ye Lan returned to her bedroom, held the bracelet, and polished it for a long time, overjoyed.

Once she calmed down, she activated the incantation and tried to contact her ancestor again.

After confirming the effects of the Luck Dice, she wanted to know more about her ancestors.

The death of their ancestor caused the family line to be interrupted, and no renowned sorcerer has appeared since.

If the ancestor is still alive, even if it is just a wisp of a soul, he can pass on the sorcerer's mental techniques and secrets.

"Ancestor, your junior Ye Lan pays her respects."

"Get up. There is something I need you to do. I have observed the celestial signs and it seems that trouble may be brewing in Liyue in the near future. To ensure your safety, you must deposit all your assets into the Northern Bank."

“The Northern Bank is backed by a bunch of fools. I don’t feel safe depositing all my assets into it. Besides, why should I deposit my assets into the Northern Bank? I have the ability to protect my own wealth.”

Although she did not want to disobey her ancestor's decree, she simply did not understand her ancestor's thoughts.

"With the Emperor's power shaking the world and him personally overseeing things, are you worried that the Northern Bank will default on its debts..."

The ancestor's voice grew fainter and fainter, and finally, the call abruptly ended.

Ye Lan could tell that the old ancestor seemed to be in very poor condition and could not maintain a long conversation.

After careful consideration, she decided to follow her ancestors' advice.

Depositing assets in the Northern Bank not only avoids trouble but also may gain the endorsement of Prince Zhidong, making it a worthwhile deal.

Having received an early warning from their ancestor, Ye Lan naturally hoped that her family could avoid the risks.

So she returned to her clan that very day and quickly convened a meeting with the clan chief and elders.

She told her clansmen the whole story of her ancestor's miraculous appearance.

The clan leader immediately decided to deposit all of the family's assets, amounting to tens of billions of Mora, into the Northern Bank.

The clan leader is an uncle of Yelan and is quite famous in Liyue. He once ran for the position of "Liyue Seven Stars" in the previous election. Although he lost in the end, it was enough to prove his wealth.

Her uncle has many close friends.
