"That's right. Although it can't summon inanimate objects like that demon god, it deals critical hits and true damage every time it strikes these undead and soul-type enemies."
Although Zhongli didn't know what Jiang Ning meant by "critical hits with every strike," she understood a little bit.
"Do you have a natural advantage against undead creatures...? With your strange constitution, perhaps the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons will have an easier time."
Zhongli said.
"If I can help, I definitely will. We're all on the same side..." Jiang Ning said.
However, there was one more thing Jiang Ning didn't mention: after communicating with the system, perhaps in future journeys and missions, he might be able to use those rewards to complete or even strengthen the power of this demon god.
At that time, Jiang Ning will definitely show off during the monster siege and then shout loudly.
"Reincarnation from the dirty soil!"
Who knows, maybe even dead demons and gods could be used to our advantage.
Jiang Ning treated these unfamiliar demons and gods merely as props.
Zhongli looked around. The demon god's resentment had been completely absorbed, and the surrounding stalactites began to collapse on their own.
He put away his shield and said, "Let's go, today's trip has been worthwhile."
"Oh right, senior sister, don't forget the two Fools outside. Take them back to Keqing and Ganyu senior sister."
"OK, all right."
…………
At Wangshu Inn, Zhongli stood on the rooftop platform, quietly gazing in the direction of Guili Plain.
"Emperor."
The Great Demon-Slaying Sage Xiao knelt on one knee behind Zhongli and said respectfully.
"Hmm... there were some pleasant surprises today."
Zhongli said.
Xiao lowered his head and pondered for a moment before saying, "Is it because of what happened in Jiangning?"
Zhongli smiled. After so many years, Zhongli once again felt a joy from the bottom of her heart.
"Yes, that child's constitution is quite special. I need to confirm it again. If it is correct, not only will you be able to relax a bit, but I will also be able to shed my heavy burden."
"Over thousands of years, the erosion of time has even made the most solid rock feel a little tired."
Xiao's outward appearance remained unchanged, but in reality, his inner world was in turmoil.
Judging from what the Emperor is saying... he's going to abdicate?! This is a very big deal.
However, as a subordinate of the emperor, whatever decision the emperor makes, it must have a deeper meaning.
Zhongli said, "In the future, if you have the opportunity to get in touch with Jiang Ning, do so as much as possible. It will be beneficial for you and Liyue, both publicly and privately."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Xiao bowed his head respectfully.
…………
"Therefore, this time we must make that Tianquan Star bleed profusely..."
When Shen He and Jiang Ning returned home, their disheveled appearance and Shen He's wounds startled Gan Yu.
After asking what had happened, Gan Yu immediately became angry.
Inaccurate information almost prevented his junior brothers and sisters from returning.
If it weren't for Mr. Zhongli's intervention...
Gan Yu felt a chill run through her body; she couldn't even imagine it.
Shen He rebuked them severely: "Senior sister, this time it's my fault. If it weren't for me..."
"I already told you, Senior Sister Shenhe, it's okay, it's not your fault, don't blame yourself. Look, everything's fine, isn't it? If you keep saying that, I'll get angry."
Jiang Ning deliberately pretended to be angry, and Shen He quickly and obediently stood beside Jiang Ning.
"Alright, this time, I'll go with you to find that Tianquan Star and have a good talk with him. Don't worry, I won't let you suffer any losses."
Gan Yu patted his slime and assured him.
Jiang Ning said, "Senior sister, is this really okay? Aren't you afraid people will say you're using this as a pretext for personal revenge?"
Gan Yu said, "No, how can this be considered settling a personal score? Officially, it was indeed this person's intelligence error, and it could easily result in the loss of two promising disciples. You know, if you grow up, you will become the backbone of Liyue."
"Secondly, if a disciple of the Celestials dies because of the Liyue Seven Stars' decision-making mistakes or even intelligence failures, the Celestials will definitely have a lot of opinions. Given Master's temperament, she will probably come to Liyue Harbor to demand an explanation."
“If this goes on and on, it will only shake the relationship between the Seven Stars and the Immortal.”
Gan Yu's words were reasonable and well-founded; she truly deserves to be called the Iron-Willed Seven-Star Secretary.
"Alright, then I'll listen to you, Senior Sister."
Jiang Ning said.
…………
The news of the immortal disciples quickly reached the ears of Tianquan Xing, who was well-informed.
Ningguang only felt a headache, while Keqing, who came to discuss the work, seemed somewhat gloating.
"Look at you, you're so arrogant. You gave the information to Shen He and Jiang Ning without being sure, and now they're coming to complain to your parents."
Ningguang sighed: "This was indeed my mistake..."
Who would have thought that it was actually a demon god's ruins? And the Fools were causing trouble there too.
I must have let my guard down a bit because of Shen He's strength as a first-class Jiangning.
This incident also served as a wake-up call for Ningguang.
Always make sure the information is accurate, and never make the same mistake again.
However, for my own affairs, the most I can do is sincerely apologize and offer appropriate compensation. I've heard that Jiang Ning isn't an unreasonable person, and it's not impossible for him to mediate and make things amicable.
only……
Ningguang looked at Keqing in front of her with a strange expression.
I really didn't expect that this Yuheng Star would be so bold as to compete with Gan Yu and Shen He, one a half-immortal and the other a disciple of an immortal family, for Jiangning?
Rumors have already spread that Lady Keqing is pursuing that boy, and has even made her hand in his.
You can see people dressed up and holding hands with others on the street.
It seems to have come from Sister Lan of the Adventurers' Guild.
But the details are clear and detailed, and there's even a record from a phonograph machine...
Ningguang had no idea what he was thinking. Perhaps he had really reached the age of puberty?
However, Ningguang didn't remind Keqing that even she would enjoy watching this kind of amusement.
A love triangle... well, a love triangle, between the contemporary Jade Balance Star and a disciple of the immortals.
That's interesting, really interesting.
46. Ningguang's Sincerity
"Lord Ningguang, we have guests visiting. They are Miss Gan Yu, Miss Shen He, and Mr. Jiang Ning."
One of the secretaries, Bai Shi, tiptoed in and reported.
"They're here already? So fast..."
Ningguang looked somewhat helpless.
Ke Qing also adopted a look of watching a good show.
The issues discussed today have been resolved smoothly and ahead of schedule.
The rest of the journey will take at least another hour.
Therefore, Ke Qing felt that she should start to balance work and rest.
"Tianquanxing, I think you should give me an explanation for this."
Gan Yu, who is usually easygoing, was now acting like a fierce animal protecting its young.
He didn't even call Ningguang by name anymore; he went straight to Ningguang and began to question her.
However, Ningguang was not looking at Gan Yu at this moment, but instead sizing up Jiang Ning.
As for Shen He, he often clears out monsters in the wild and has a lot of contact with the Liyue officials. Therefore, Ningguang has met Shen He once... although Shen He himself does not know it.
However, this was the first time Jiang Ning had met Ning Guang.
Ningguang had been curious about Jiangning for a long time.
The boy, who had been well hidden by Gan Yu and didn't like to show his face in public, was finally seen today.
Ningguang was somewhat amazed; her lips were red and her teeth were white, and her skin was even better than her own as a woman, which made her feel a little insecure.
No wonder he was able to capture the hearts of the aloof and beautiful Shen He, as well as Gan Yu.
However, after a brief moment of amazement, Ningguang turned her gaze back to Ganyu.
Ningguang did not deny Gan Yu's questioning; any attempt to refuse would only displease him.
"This was indeed our mistake, and we are willing to offer a suitable compensation plan."
Ningguang said.
Gan Yu said, "Compensation alone is not enough."
"Tonight, I'll host a banquet at the Crescent Moon Pavilion to entertain you all, as an apology," Ningguang said. "Also, all the intelligence personnel involved will be disciplined and held accountable, and the intelligence will be re-verified..."
Gan Yu nodded in agreement. It was best not to make a big fuss, otherwise, petty people would seize the opportunity. This was already the limit Ning Guang could do, and it showed her sincerity.
"However, this compensation..."
Ningguang smiled and said, "I'm sure you'll all be satisfied."
