"Lord Keqing, in a fit of rage, chased after him and shouted."
However, Luo Mu tilted his head.
"I don't believe it."
"I--"
Lady Keqing was speechless.
It has to be said that with all the buffs stacked on Luo Mu right now, if she really had to cut down Luo Mu, she really... wouldn't be able to do it.
But you bastard, you shouldn't have said that so easily!
Is my word so powerless?
As a result, Keqing, who had caught up with the group, stayed with them in frustration, racking her brains for a way to turn the situation around from Luo Mu's hands.
……
We arrived at the director's office.
...Lady Keqing still hadn't come up with a solution.
"What wind blew in today, bringing our Lord Yuheng Star here? Haha—"
Before they even entered the house, they could already hear a hearty, energetic laugh coming from inside.
Ah, it's an old man. He looks quite spry, doesn't he?
Luo Mu was a little surprised.
"Old Li."
Ke Qing bowed slightly politely, then glanced at Luo Mu with an expression that... though formal, clearly betrayed her displeasure, and said...
“I do have some important business to attend to this time, but this man surnamed Luo is the team leader. You can talk to him, don’t worry about me.”
"Oh?"
The old man looked at Luo Mu, who was leading the group, with some surprise. "Mr. Luo, is that right? Young people these days are really amazing, each one more impressive than the last. They're changing so fast!"
"Hey, young people have their own tasks, and old people have their own wisdom and experience."
Luo Mu, with a bright smile, quickly ran to the old man's side, covering his mouth with his hand while glancing at Ke Qing and whispering,
"May I ask you about something personal first?"
Although she said she was speaking softly, it sounded quite convincing, but in reality, Luo Mu's volume was loud enough to be heard throughout the room.
The old man seemed quite happy.
"Okay, go ahead."
Upon noticing Luo Mu's gaze, Lady Keqing immediately had a bad feeling.
"Ahem,"
Luo Mu straightened his expression slightly and continued, "Do you know what the conditions are for proposing marriage to A-Qing's family?"
"..."
The air in the room seemed to undergo some rapid and wonderful transformation.
The old man glanced at Ke Qing, who was staring blankly, with considerable surprise, and then clicked his tongue in amazement.
"You've come to the right person. I'll tell you about Old Man Ke's place—"
"What are you all talking about?! ...
Lady Keqing unleashed an extraordinary and sharp cry.
And in an instant, she appeared behind Luo Mu, her face flushed, and strode to pull him back to the door. Then, she covered Luo Mu's mouth with her hand and quickly explained to the old man:
"Don't listen to this bastard's nonsense! He's just causing trouble! And please, please don't tell my family about this!!"
Luo Mu blinked innocently.
Well... Lady Keqing's hands are so smooth and tender.
I want to lick it.
Slurp.
"—?!"
Lady Keqing, who was trying to explain, suddenly shuddered, and her already flushed face turned even redder.
Even so, Lady Keqing stubbornly refused to let go, desperately covering Luo Mu's mouth.
The old man looked back and forth between the two people, and suddenly Hu Tao said with an innocent look:
“But I heard that Captain went to Keqing’s house to soak in the spiritual spring last time. I’d like to try it too.”
Keqing: "——?"
Lady Keqing looked at the grinning Kurumi with a betrayed expression.
However, before she could speak, the old man on the other side smiled knowingly and said:
"It's alright, I understand, it's just something between young people. You guys go ahead and prepare yourselves, I won't leak any information."
That's not what I meant at all!
Keqing almost shouted it out again.
But the more you explain these things, the more complicated they become. At least the old man has already promised not to tell anyone, so ending things here should be the best outcome.
"Mmmm."
Luo Mu raised his hand in greeting.
Can you let me go now? We have important business to attend to—
"you shut up!"
Lord Keqing, his face still flushed, did not hesitate.
Whether you're the captain or not, you're not allowed to speak now!
I'll do it!
"Well."
Okay, then I'll keep slurping.
Lady Keqing's eyes twitched, and she quickly turned to look at the increasingly kind-looking old man with a cheerful expression:
"We've come to inquire about the placement of the books donated by Xing Tiannan of Feiyun Group, and the recent staff turnover at the library!"
"Ah, that's easy to do."
The old man waved his hand, then looked at Luo Mu with a smile, "Hey, Luo, add me as a friend sometime. I can tell you everything you need to prepare and pay attention to."
Oh, great!
He waved happily to the old man.
Before Lady Keqing could even cool down, her face flushed red again.
Are you guys ever going to stop?!

"If you dare to cause trouble like this again, I'll really chop you up!"
Even after leaving the old man's office, Lady Keqing was still shouting at him in embarrassment and anger.
Luo Mu still looked completely innocent.
"I was just asking, I didn't say I was going to propose marriage. Can't I even ask out of curiosity?"
"Shut up! No excuses!"
"Oh."
He silently lowered his head and played with the light screen by himself.
"You're not allowed to add the old man as a friend!"
Lady Keqing instantly lost her temper again.
Wow, you guessed that?
"Do you think I'm stupid?!"
Noelle, who was standing to the side, sighed.
"You've completely integrated, Lady Keqing."
"—!"
Lady Keqing, who was trying to pull Luo Mu's hand away from the light screen, suddenly froze.
Yelan also peeked over.
"Friendly reminder: we're about to enter the library's reading area, so it's best to keep quiet."
"Goo!"
Lady Keqing glared angrily at Luo Mu, and grabbed his hand, conveying her message with her eyes:
No sneaking out!
Okay.
He chuckled and shrugged.
Although she had a great lack of trust in Luo Mu, Lady Keqing still reluctantly let go.
The main problem is that the light screen can be manipulated by thought, so even if you keep holding this guy's hand, it won't help.
Even so, Ke Qing, walking beside Luo Mu, would still occasionally cast a stern glance at him.
I'm watching you!
After all, they are actually chatting in the group right now, so if Luo Mu were to sneak away, it would really make people feel very threatened.
Luo Mu also had a serious expression on his face, discussing serious matters with everyone.
According to information obtained from the librarian, after personally bringing the donated books to the library, Xing Tiannan simply took a group photo with everyone, exchanged pleasantries for a while, went through the formalities, and left, even declining the library's invitation to dine.
However, a considerable portion of the donated books were placed in the rare collection area, and some of them were obscure books, so there was a possibility that notes could have been secretly hidden in them.
They walked through the antique-style library.
The entire library is located on a separate floating island. It is extremely large and is said to have been established since the founding of Liyue Harbor, storing a large number of books.
Most importantly, it is said that a considerable number of these books are paper versions of skill books, which surprised Luo Mu.
Indeed, no matter the era, paper books will always occupy a unique place, and among the books donated by Xing Tiannan are such paper skill books, the value of which is self-evident.
[Ye Lan: The library's security camera footage is ready. Would you like to take a look?]
[Luo Mu: I'm getting used to the presence of surveillance cameras in mystery cases...]
Of course, we should definitely check the surveillance footage if it's available.
Moreover, Ye Lan thoughtfully found the video footage from the crucial period, and as soon as he opened it, he saw the suspect, who had turned to ashes.
The other person acted like an ordinary tourist visiting the library, first confirming the location of the book they wanted to view on the public terminal, and then following the navigation step by step to the book collection area.
Luo Mu's expression suddenly became somewhat subtle.
Geological exploration...you're something else!
You really know exactly what I mean when it comes to niche or obscure topics.
[Amber: A batch of books donated by Xing Tiannan are right here!]
I rely on?
Luo Mu turned to look at the others around him, and everyone's expressions became somewhat strange.
Well... the simplest and most direct guess has come true, which seems a bit too easy on us.
The suspect even simply took a book from the shelf, glanced at it briefly, and then casually took it to the reading area, where he sat down and started reading.
[Ye Lan: That book...it seems to really be one of the books donated by Xing Tiannan]
