"But you also know that, given the size of Feiyun Group and the complex relationships involved, 'speed' is the most difficult thing to achieve, right?"
"Just say what you have to say."
Ke Qing looked at Ning Guang, her tone resolute, "Don't think I don't know that you also hope this matter can be investigated and clarified as soon as possible, after all, it concerns your own safety."
Ningguang smiled.
“I don’t deny that, so I think we should be in a cooperative relationship now. Given the size of Feiyun Group, I can personally go to their headquarters, which should make many things much more convenient and efficient.”
"Aren't you afraid something will happen?"
Keqing raised her eyebrows in surprise and looked Ningguang up and down again.
She had to admit that she had never imagined Ningguang was such a daring and adventurous person.
After all, Ningguang had just gone through a life-or-death ordeal. Knowing that the problem might lie with Feiyun Group, she still went to that kind of place on her own initiative. This was probably a test for both her safety and her mental state.
"It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. If we can solve the problem as soon as possible, even if there are some risks, it's always better than constantly being on guard against an attack that may come at any time."
Ningguang said this while taking a sip of the warm water in her glass, before slowly continuing.
"However, since we are now going to cooperate, shouldn't Lady Keqing also make some gesture when Mr. Luo Mu and I go to Feiyun Group?"
"What do you want me to do?"
Ke Qing's words were very direct, and there was not a trace of hesitation or doubt on her face.
"It's very simple."
That's what Lady Ningguang said, but Luo Mu clearly saw the corners of Ningguang's mouth curve up after she put down her water glass.
Ningguang, sitting up straight with a smile on her face, looked directly at Keqing, who was looking serious, and continued:
"Lady Keqing, please stay here with me too."
"..."
"Huh?" *2
He and Ke Qing both exclaimed in bewilderment.
Then, the two of them looked at each other in an unusually synchronized manner, and everyone's expressions were somewhat peculiar.
"wrong."
Keqing turned her head and looked at Ningguang with a hint of annoyance. "I'm talking to you about something serious, not asking you to joke around!"
"Hehe, why does Lady Keqing think I'm joking?"
Ningguang placed her hands, fingers interlaced, in front of her lower abdomen, and asked in an elegant and composed manner,
"Didn't Lady Keqing say before that the configuration here is still somewhat lacking in terms of personnel level and equipment facilities? But if Lady Keqing can stay here, it can make up for all of this, right?"
"Furthermore, I don't think Lady Keqing would have any connection with the Abyss Order?"
Luo Mu timidly raised his hand:
"Um... could I know what rank Lady Keqing is?"
"It's Lv.6?"
These words were spoken by Ye Lan with a mocking expression.
But he almost choked.
That's terrifying!
No,
"I remember that Yuheng Star is in charge of land development and people's livelihood, isn't it?"
Luo Mu couldn't help but ask.
Look at Ningguang, this Tianquan star is only a level 4 that was artificially boosted, why does she need to be level 6 to manage land construction?
My older sister is only Lv.6, the Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, but that's a knightly order, they're in charge of real combat!
"Hehe, so it's not just empty talk that Lady Keqing is exceptionally strong."
Ningguang chuckled softly and said.
"Hmph, it's just the protection of my family. I've been able to receive excellent conditions for upbringing since I was a child. As long as I don't slack off too much, this achievement is nothing."
Keqing herself, who is at the center of the discussion, actually showed quite little interest in the topic.
Luo Mu hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
I think that becoming a Jade Balance Star and reaching Lv.6 is something that, even if the conditions are met, shouldn't be something that can be achieved simply by not slacking off a little, right?
However, before he could raise any questions, Keqing, after a moment's thought, efficiently looked at Ningguang and replied:
"I can grant your request."
He stood beside him: "..."
Should I assert myself as the head of the household in this situation?
Of course, that's a joke.
Keqing, undisturbed, continued speaking while looking at Ningguang:
"But you have to understand, I can't be your personal bodyguard. I can only guarantee to take care of you as much as possible without affecting my own work."
Ningguang laughed too.
"As for a bodyguard, I already have a reliable one, so there's no need for you to worry about it, Lady Keqing. You just need to come here whenever you're resting."
Although she didn't quite understand the point of Ningguang's request, Keqing didn't think too much about the not-too-harsh conditions and nodded.
"no problem."
Only Luo Mu remained bewildered.
Is that correct?
Why are there suddenly two Seven Stars residing in my house?
The Divine Calculation System Girl will never be... in Liyue! : Chapter 403: Lust is Incurable
Since things have come to this, let's eat first.
Eating can play a magical role in interpersonal communication, especially when there are many people and it's lively.
Although the sudden addition of three people put some pressure on Noelle in the kitchen, fortunately, none of them in the room were ordinary people.
Noelle has been wearing that maid outfit for so long that she's really become quite the all-around maid. She can do any job like lightning, and she can single-handedly keep the whole kitchen bustling with activity while cooking. It's quite amazing to watch.
Of course, he would never say this to Noelle.
This silly junior is already disobedient enough; if she gets any more arrogant, she'll just fly away!
"...That's right, everything stop for now and wait for my message. I know the preparations are all done, and every day we wait is a loss, but no one is allowed to start the project without my explicit permission!"
Even after sitting down at the dining table, Lady Keqing seemed very busy.
"After all, the preliminary work had already been arranged, and it's troublesome to notify everyone when this happens suddenly."
Ningguang, sitting upright, spoke unhurriedly, tapping her chopsticks twice on the table as she glanced at Keqing, who was still looking at the light screen beside her, her tone slightly teasing.
"If Lord Yuheng Star hasn't finished his work yet, we can wait a little longer."
"No need. Since the food is already prepared, it's time to eat properly."
Ke Qing turned off the light screen in front of her without changing her expression, picked up her chopsticks, and said, "Then, I won't be polite."
Without needing anyone to call her, Ke Qing took a bite of food from right in front of her and put it in her mouth.
Noelle, who was sitting next to Luo Mu, was still a little nervous.
"what about the taste?"
"Um……"
Keqing, whose cheeks puffed out slightly, swallowed hard. "It tastes very standard, like a standard answer sheet filled in on an exam. Has this maid only recently started learning Liyue cuisine?"
"I knew a little bit about it before, since there's someone here who likes Liyue flavors."
Noelle glanced at someone.
Luo Mu calmly picked up some food, and casually said:
"If I had known that one day there would be two Seven Stars sitting at the table in our house, I should have given you a good special training session to avoid embarrassing yourself like this."
"Isn't it just that you, senior, want to eat the flavors here? You're making it sound so real."
Noelle looked at him with disdain.
Keqing chimed in:
"Actually, my taste is more inclined towards traditional methods. Although there are many improved and innovative dishes now, many of them have messed up the original flavor profile. If Miss Maid continues to refine her skills in the current direction for a while, she should be able to achieve very good results."
"I didn't know that Lady Keqing was also an expert in food?"
Ningguang asked with great interest.
"Food is the most important thing for people. Being able to enjoy a meal is a very pleasant thing that can relieve stress. I have tried many high-end restaurants and local restaurants in Liyue Harbor. If you want to say that I have done some research, I am confident that I can claim to be an expert."
Lady Keqing naturally took over the topic.
"Oh? Does Lady Keqing have any dessert recommendations? I'm quite curious."
Ningguang continued to ask questions with great interest.
"dessert?"
Ke Qing thought for a moment, "The Crystal Crescent Moon from Mingxingzhai is very good, but it's too hard to buy. Last time I had to pre-order three months in advance to finally get a serving, and the taste was unforgettable for several days."
"Three months? Ah—"
Ningguang seemed to remember something, "I saw a post from Mingxingzhai before, so I asked the owner of Mingxingzhai to book three months' worth for me. You wouldn't have..."
Lady Keqing was stunned.
"Oh!"
Lady Keqing slammed her hand on the table. "So it was you who made me wait so long?!"
Doesn't this show that we have similar tastes when it comes to desserts?
Ningguang had a big smile on her face.
"If you like it, then you should pre-order and buy it properly! What about the others if you buy up all the stock!"
"So I paid five times the price."
"??? So what if you're rich!"
Sitting opposite Luo Mu, he looked at the two noisy people on the other side with a bewildered expression.
You two are surprisingly quite talkative...
Ok?
He suddenly noticed that Ye Lan was waving her chopsticks at him.
"Friendly reminder: Although I arranged this house for you, now that you've been given the right to use it, and others are moving in on their own, inviting others to stay, and even eating and drinking there, it's perfectly reasonable to collect rent, isn't it?"
rent?
This is something he had never even considered.
"That won't be necessary—"
He subconsciously looked at Ningguang.
That makes sense.
Ningguang interrupted him, saying elegantly, "Mr. Luo Mu is only here in Liyue to handle a case, and he is not my subordinate. I should indeed do something to show my appreciation for troubling everyone like this. For example, one of my subordinates would rather charge me for driving him around."
As for which one it is, that goes without saying.
Ye Lan calmly shrugged, picking up food from her bowl as she spoke:
"We're just employees, we get paid to do things, isn't that just our duty? But—"
Ye Lan, drawing out her words, leaned back in her chair, seemingly crossing her legs, and suddenly gave him a playful smile, exuding a queenly aura.
