While I was in Mondstadt, I never imagined becoming a god.

"Yanfei, the most famous legal consultant in Liyue. If you have any legal problems, you can't go wrong with her."

He then turned to Ying and Paimon, introducing them to Yanfei.

"These two are my good friends, Ying and Paimon. They traveled all the way from Mondstadt to Liyue together."

"Hello everyone!" Paimon waved enthusiastically. "Xu Chuan's friends are our friends!"

Ying bowed slightly and gave a gentle smile.

Xu Chuan got straight to the point, "On the day of the Immortal Invitation Ceremony, they were treated as suspects by the Qianyan Army."

Yan Fei almost dropped the document in her hand.

She glanced at Xu Chuan, then at Ying and Paimon, her expression gradually becoming subtle.

"So...they are the two that Lady Ningguang ordered to be wanted?"

"Correct."

"..."

Yan Fei was silent for three seconds, then let out a long sigh.

"You've really given me a tough problem."

She said that, but she had already gotten up to pour tea for the others.

A celadon teacup was placed on the table, and wisps of steam rose from it.

This action itself is an attitude.

"Although I knew you would definitely come to me for help, I really didn't expect you to come so soon."

Yan Fei sat back in her chair, her fingertips lightly tapping the armrest.

"Moreover, the very first thing you said was to help clear the name of the suspect wanted by the Seven Stars."

"It's not about clearing someone of suspicion," Xu Chuan shook his head, "it's about clarifying a misunderstanding."

Xu Chuan picked up his teacup and took a sip. "They weren't the murderers to begin with."

"Qianyan Army is pursuing them because they were at the scene and were unidentified outsiders, so they are indeed suspects."

"What I need to do is prove them not to be."

Yan Fei stared at him for a while, then suddenly laughed.

"Alright, since you've put it that way."

She put down her teacup, sat up straight, and her entire demeanor changed.

No longer that carefree stay-at-home girl, but the top legal consultant in Liyue Harbor.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Chuan took out a letter from his pocket.

The envelope was made of fine material, sealed with the seal of the Knights of Favonius, and bearing Jean's own signature.

"This is a letter that Leader Jean entrusted me to pass on to the Seven Stars of Liyue. The contents of the letter can prove the identities of Luminous and Paimon."

Yan Fei took the envelope, turned it over to look at the seal, and her eyes lit up slightly.

"A personal letter from the acting commander carries considerable weight."

Her mind raced, and she understood Xu Chuan's intentions almost as soon as she received the letter.

"So, you want me to help you get introduced?"

"It's so comfortable talking to smart people."

"Well done, you've already planned it out before you came to me."

"This letter can provide Luminous and Paimon with the endorsement of the Knights of Favonius. With official guarantees, at least the Thousand Rock Army will no longer target them."

She shook the envelope in her hand.

"The Emperor has just passed away, and the Seven Stars of Liyue are extremely busy."

"Even with this letter, it won't be easy to meet them directly. You'll need to find someone influential to help introduce you."

Yan Fei pondered for a moment, then suddenly clapped her hands.

"I've got it. I'll take you to see Sister Gan Yu."

"Gan Yu?" Paimon tilted his head. "Who's that?"

"Yue Haiting's secretary." Yan Fei stood up and began tidying up the documents on the table.

"She is a capable assistant to the Seven Stars of Liyue and has influence over them."

"Let's go, Sister Gan Yu should still be at Yuehai Pavilion at this time."

The Moonlit Pavilion is located in the administrative area of ​​Liyue Harbor and is a dignified and elegant three-story building.

With its flying eaves and bracket sets, and vermilion pillars, it exudes the unique richness and grandeur of Liyue.

As soon as Yan Fei pushed open the door to Gan Yu's office, her brows furrowed.

The room was piled high with documents.

Stacks of files and documents were everywhere—on the desk, on the bookshelves, and even on the floor—almost burying the large desk.

In the middle of this sea of ​​documents, a young girl is writing furiously at her desk.

She had long, light blue hair, loosely tied into a bun at the back of her head.

What is most striking is the pair of curved horns on her head, extending from her hair, creating a strange harmony with her delicate features.

Gan Yu raised her head, revealing a delicate yet weary face.

His eyes were bloodshot from staying up too late, and he looked like he might collapse onto the table and fall asleep at any moment.

"It's Yanfei, long time no see."

Her voice was soft, with a slight huskiness.

"Sister Gan Yu!" Yan Fei quickly stepped forward.

"At this rate, even an immortal's body wouldn't be able to withstand it!"

Gan Yu blinked, gave a gentle smile, and naturally avoided the topic of staying up late.

"It's alright, I've just been a bit busier lately."

"You also know about the Emperor's affairs."

Her gaze passed over Yan Fei and landed on Xu Chuan and the others.

Who are these people?

Yan Fei sighed, knowing she couldn't persuade this workaholic sister, so she had to take care of the important matters first.

She briefly explained the whole story and then handed over Qin's letter.

Gan Yu took the letter, read it carefully, and then looked at Ying and Paimon.

"I see. This matter should indeed be clarified as soon as possible."

She stood up, her movements slow, as if she had been sitting for too long and her body was stiff.

"Perfect timing. Lady Ningguang and Lady Keqing are both at Qunyu Pavilion today. I'll take you there now."

Xu Chuan followed behind Gan Yu, his gaze unconsciously falling on the pair of curved horns on her head.

Coconut sheep.

He silently repeated the nickname in his mind.

He had been curious for a long time about what those two corners would feel like to touch.

Is it the hard, keratinous feel, or does it have fine, downy hairs like deer antlers?

Of course, it's impossible to ask such a question aloud.

Qunyu Pavilion.

This magnificent building, floating above Liyue Harbor, is a symbol of Ningguang's power and the culmination of her hard work.

The entire pavilion was built with precious wood and jade, with carved beams and painted rafters, and was magnificent and gleaming in the sunlight.

Gan Yu led the group through layers of guards and into the main hall of Qunyu Pavilion.

Inside the hall, two figures were standing in front of a huge map of Liyue, discussing something.

The one on the left is the owner of this Jade Pavilion—Tianquan Star, Ningguang.

She wore a white and gold cheongsam that accentuated her mature and voluptuous figure.

Her face was as exquisite as a work of art sculpted by a craftsman, and her amber eyes held a faint smile, yet none of them dared to show the slightest disrespect.

It's an aura unique to those who have long held positions of power.

The woman on the right is completely different.

The Jade Balance Star, Ke Qing.

She was dressed in a purple outfit, and her light purple long hair was tied into neat pigtails that fell over her shoulders.

Her features were bright and striking, with a touch of heroic spirit between her brows, which contrasted sharply with Ningguang's dignified and elegant demeanor.

At this moment, she stood with her arms crossed, her posture upright, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath.

Gan Yu stepped forward, gave a brief report on the matter, and presented Qin's letter.

Ningguang took the letter, her slender fingers unsealing the wax seal, unfolding the letter, her gaze sweeping over the surface, and after a moment she nodded slightly.

"The handwriting, seal, and wording are all correct; it is indeed a letter from the acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius."

Ke Qing also came over to take a look and nodded.

Ningguang carefully put the letter away and turned to Ying and Paimon.

A polite smile appeared on her face, tinged with apology.

"On the day of the Immortal Invocation Ceremony, the Thousand Rock Army was eager to investigate the truth behind the Emperor's fall, and their actions were inevitably a bit hasty, causing trouble for the two of you."

"This matter was due to the Liyue Seven Stars' lack of consideration. On behalf of the General Affairs Department, I would like to express my apologies to both of you."

She bowed slightly, her posture elegant and sincere.

Ke Qing also said decisively, "I'm sorry to have startled you. I will arrange for the arrest warrants to be dropped immediately."

Paimon's eyes lit up instantly, and his mouth opened into a small circle.

"This...this is the solution?"

Ningguang was amused by her appearance.

"Of course it's resolved. We, the Liyue Seven Stars, trust the Knights of Favonius's reputation."

She clapped her hands lightly, and a maid entered in response.

"Pass down the order to immediately withdraw the arrest warrants for Ying and Paimon."

Ningguang's gaze swept over the three of them, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

"As an apology, all expenses incurred by the three of you during your stay in Liyue Harbor will be fully covered by the Jade Pavilion."

"You can keep track of your expenses for food, lodging, shopping, and travel."

Paimon's eyes widened even more.

Those eyes almost shone with golden light.

"All...all?"

"All."

Ningguang nodded with a smile.

Paimon's lips curled up uncontrollably, as if he could already see himself enjoying all the delicacies of Liyue and browsing through all the shops in Liyue.

Her body leaned slightly forward, exuding an almost dreamlike aura.

"Lady Ningguang, you are such a kind person!"
