result--
The driver's seat was taken.
"Can I borrow your car for a bit? I need to run some errands!"
"—??"
The driver, left behind, watched the hovercar hurtle away in front of him, looking somewhat bewildered.
……
Luo Mu's family.
Luo Mu and Lisa, who had just returned home from a candlelight dinner, were both a little confused when they saw the group leader suddenly appear in front of them with a calm expression.
"Sister Qin, aren't you... supposed to be at work?"
"Yes, but I'm off work now, and there's no need for me to rush home. It shouldn't be a problem for me to come over temporarily, right?"
Luo Mu was dumbfounded.
I won't say anything about you not getting off work until after 7 pm, but you come all the way here after work and then have to go back to your place around 10 pm. Isn't that a bit too much for you, Commander?
Then--
The door to their house was pushed open from the inside.
Yura, who had changed into her loungewear, was a little surprised to see the three people standing outside the door.
"Commander, you're here again. Why don't you come in first? I've just thought of some new tricks. You're definitely not going to win today."
"Okay."
Qin nodded naturally and calmly, and went into the house first.
Luo Mu's face darkened.
Seriously? You guys are coming again?!
"I have to go to the Wind Dragon Trial tomorrow, don't you guys consider helping me rest and recharge!"
***
He sent it anyway.
The Wind Dragon Trial is tentatively scheduled for the afternoon, because he still has to go to Mona's Grand House in the morning, after all, he made a promise to his teacher, the Grand Astrologer.
The content is... to let the teacher observe his and Mona's practice in person.
Luo Mu, supporting her back as she left the house, looked distressed.
Being a scumbag really requires not only good eloquence, but also good physical strength!
The Divine Calculation System Girl won't be attacked in Liyue! : Chapter 518 Ningguang: I think I shouldn't be attacked again...
The part about playing around at Mona's house with the teacher was actually quite interesting. The main thing was that Mona's reaction was particularly strong when the teacher was present, especially when she created a small fountain in front of the teacher...
However, he has been quite exhausted these past two days, and he still has to continue with the trials, so this part will be left aside for now.
(ps: Actually, it's because I've been wandering around Mondstadt for too long and it's time to go back to Liyue.)
In short, while the Wind Dragon Trial remained challenging, it lacked the oddities of the Twelve Trials, so his trial went quite smoothly, and his attribute panel saw another significant boost.
Physical Strength: 73
Control Index: 9.8
【Elemental Power (Wind): 68 (+17)】
Wind element utilization efficiency: 176%
[Elemental Power (Geo): 27]
【Mental Power: 51】
After using the 5 attribute points he originally had to fill in a few points of Anemo to meet the trial requirements, he also put the remaining 2 points into Geo power. In any case, with the current level of his stats, he should be able to focus on leveling up his Geo power from now on!
So, at this point, he has basically achieved his goal of taking leave midway to return to Mondstadt. Now, naturally, he needs to return to Liyue to rejoin his team.
Noelle has already sent a message saying that she has also successfully passed the trial and advanced, and it seems that her results were quite good.
The trials at the Layered Rock Abyss seem to be based on the number of floors. Although Noelle didn't specify how many floors she reached, she's just a silly junior. When he goes there in the future, he'll definitely teach Noelle a lesson about the difference between a master and a maid!
……
Liyue Harbor.
Qunyu Pavilion...
"call--"
Having just finished work, Lord Tianquan rubbed his shoulders, looked out the window wearily, and let out a sigh.
The investigation into the Feiyun Group has entered a lengthy period of screening, and even though Yelan and Amber have been working very hard, they have not yet made any valuable progress.
Naturally, the same applies to Keqing.
In response to this situation, their Lord Yuheng Star has recently become even more irritable than she has.
After all, as long as the problems of Feiyun Group are not thoroughly investigated, the project that Keqing had prepared cannot continue to start, leaving a large amount of equipment and workers idle, which is a huge waste of resources every day.
There have been many voices suggesting that the engineering teams should be transferred to other project groups first. This seems like a normal way to avoid wasting resources and make adjustments. But if such a large number of engineering teams are transferred to start other projects, they can't be temporarily transferred back before the other projects are completed, right?
Whether the entire engineering team goes to participate in other large projects or is broken up and dispersed to various small projects, once this is actually implemented, it will not be an easy task to bring the team back.
If things come to that, it's fair to say that Keqing's original plans will essentially be indefinitely postponed, which is clearly an unacceptable outcome for her.
Therefore, recently, anyone could sense that Lord Yuheng Star was not in a good mood.
On the other hand, Ningguang's side has been free of all the previous incidents and attacks. The Internal Security Department, which is in charge of security, has repeatedly emphasized its professionalism to her and suggested that it would be safer for her to return to Qunyu Pavilion. They also said that the outsider was just there by chance.
Ningguang couldn't really refute this claim, since she couldn't very well say to their faces, "I suspect there might be members of the Abyss Cult infiltrated our ranks, so I trust you even less than the outsiders you're referring to..."
However, judging from the current situation, it is quite possible that she was just overthinking it.
"Ha, in the end, if that captain hadn't suddenly run away, I wouldn't have to worry about this kind of thing, would I?"
Ningguang, alone in her office, unconsciously revealed a hint of resentment on her face.
The current situation is that Keqing is so busy investigating the case that she is always hanging out with Yelan and Amber to discuss the investigation. I bet even if you ask her to leave, Lord Yuheng Star wouldn't want to go back to her own home.
Ningguang raised her hand again to operate the light screen and glanced at the chat window with Luo Mu.
The content still ends when Luo Mu told her that he was preparing for the Wind Dragon Trial, and she doesn't know how things are now.
"咚咚-"
A knock came from outside the door. "Lady Ningguang, it's time for you to go to the Trial Council."
Ningguang turned off the light barrier, readjusted her state, and calmly replied:
"I'm coming right away."
Because of the recent attacks, she had actually turned down all jobs that required her to appear in public, but as a member of the Tianquan Star, there are always some projects within her responsibilities that she can't just give up.
This time, she was going to the meeting to publicly confirm this year's policy changes and economic situation with various figures. It was a regular meeting of Tianquan Star. If she didn't even dare to attend the meeting because of the recent events, her image would probably plummet immediately.
Ke Qing knew about this matter, and Lord Yuhengxing even took the initiative to offer to come and help. After all, the reason Ke Qing initially came to stay with Luo Mu and the others was to add a layer of security. However, given the momentum of their investigations recently, many people have probably forgotten about it.
"Buzz-"
Ningguang turned her head.
Keqing even sent a message right on time.
However, after thinking it over, Ningguang politely declined Keqing's suggestion.
[Ningguang: You're probably still investigating the case, right? I have the Imperial Guards escorting me, there's no need for you to come all the way here.]
[Keqing: That's fine then, just remember not to wander off!]
Ningguang was speechless for a moment.
Am I a little kid?
Shaking her head, Ningguang walked outside on her own.
Keqing is clearly under a lot of pressure lately, otherwise she wouldn't have given up so much.
Everyone has their own things to do. Although being attacked at public events has left her with some psychological trauma, she can't just stop participating in events altogether, can she?
Since everything has been fine for so many days, why not take this opportunity to overcome this psychological shadow? There's nothing wrong with that.
"call--"
Taking a deep breath to calm her already tense and uneasy feelings, Ningguang pushed open the door and walked out of the office.
***
Liyue Harbor Airport.
"Aha! Liyue, I'm back again!"
Having just finished the Wind Dragon Trial and barely rested, the very responsible Mr. Luo Mu had a meal with his, well, second, fourth, and fifth wives, and then rushed to Liyue without stopping.
"Who should I call now?"
Mr. Luo Mu cheerfully swiped open the light screen, only to be met with, "Amber's call?"
What kind of prophetic ability is this?
He answered the call, and Amber's urgent voice immediately came through.
"Something terrible has happened! Lady Ningguang's carriage has just been attacked and is missing!"
"……ah??"
The Divine Calculation System Girl will never be [illegible] in Liyue! : Chapter 519 Luo Mu's speed is trustworthy!
To be honest, his first reaction was actually a bit bewildered.
How come I just got off the plane? No, where's the shuttle? Are you guys kidding me?
Then, Luo Mu calmed down quietly.
"Damn it! Where is it?! Who did this?! When did this happen?!"
"Just about five minutes ago! Lady Ningguang's car was suddenly attacked on its way to the venue. After the guards repelled the attack, they discovered that Lady Ningguang's car had been replaced with a fake one!"
Amber paused for a moment, then heard some of Keqing's voice, which sounded somewhat excited, before Amber's voice continued.
"Lady Keqing is very angry right now. We're already on our way to the scene. You're in Mondstadt—"
"I'm already in Liyue!"
He interrupted abruptly, and while pushing the two fox ladies aside, he ran at top speed towards the airport exit, shouting, "Where is the scene! Wait, do you have any clues about Lady Ningguang's whereabouts?!"
Sitting atop Luo Mu's head, Miss Jiu Chong used her tiny paws to tug at Luo Mu's hair. Her face was disheveled in the wind as Luo Mu sped forward, her eyes squinting as her fox fur fluttered wildly in the wind.
"Not yet... The Internal Security Department said the car was parked on a pre-set spatial concealment array! Such precise location and arrangement—if there isn't a mole in the Internal Security Department, I'll change my name today!!"
Keqing's furious voice came through the phone, replacing Amber's.
"What the hell is the point of going to the scene now?!"
Luo Mu couldn't help but swear.
After the initial shock of receiving the news was gradually accepted rationally, it was replaced by a rapidly growing sense of anxiety and worry.
Teyvat has teleportation, so if Lady Ningguang is really taken to the territory of the Order of the Abyss, it's uncertain whether she'll ever be able to return.
The mere thought of Ningguang possibly disappearing from his sight forever, or the only news he would hear about her from the evil deeds committed by the Order of the Abyss, filled him with tension, irritability, anxiety… or rather, fear—a feeling he had never faced before—about 'forever' and 'loss'.
Too many complex and incomprehensible emotions were swirling and churning more vividly in my heart.
Things aren't that bad yet.
The unusually calm voice acted like a blast of cold air, instantly calming the restless atmosphere in the air.
Ye Lan, her tone as calm and rational as ice, spoke on the phone:
"Liyue Harbor is not a place you can come and go as you please. Even if the enemy uses magic arrays to conceal the traces of space, it is impossible for them to run very far from the core of Liyue Harbor. Lady Ningguang should still be within the boundaries of Liyue Harbor, but we need to find her as soon as possible."
Luo Mu slapped his face hard, then shook his head violently twice to calm himself down.
