"Wait, wait... let Paimon sort it out..."

After hearing Keqing's words, Ying and Paimon showed surprised expressions at once, and Paimon had to stroke his forehead.

"The Great Saint Xiao who conquers demons... Mr. Zhongli, the guest of the Hall of Rebirth..."

The more Paimon thought about it, the more confused he became...

My head itches, I feel like I'm going to grow a brain...

"…rumors! This is a blatant rumor! The great Tianquanxing spread rumors about me! I'm going to Fontaine to send her a lawyer's letter!"

After Nangong Ya's initial brain freeze, she came to her senses and quickly jumped up and desperately denied it.

"Ahem, this is inaccurate information to begin with, so you don't need to take it too seriously."

Seeing their reactions, Keqing had to cough twice and explain.

"Speaking of which, since you have no intentions towards Guizhongji, then why are you here?"

Keqing couldn't help but continue asking. After all, normally no one would come to this kind of place, not to mention that there was a conflict with the Thousand Rocks Army.

"We originally wanted to go to the Qun Yu Pavilion..."

Paimeng had to explain that they originally just wanted to ask how to get to the Jade Pavilion.

“So you are Ningguang’s guests. I have heard about you, Traveler.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Keqing, one of the Seven Stars of Liyue. I didn't expect to run into you guys in the mountains."

After learning what happened, Keqing recognized Ying's identity and introduced herself immediately.

"By the way, little sister, whether you are the descendant of an immortal or not, please remember that it is very rude to call others by strange nicknames. Do you understand?"

After introducing herself, Keqing remembered the strange name she had just been addressed and couldn't help but remind herself. She turned around, bent down, and reminded Nangong Ya with a serious face.

"..."

Nangong Ya glanced at Paimeng beside her, who turned his head away guiltily.

"I understand Sister Keqing, I'm sorry."

Nangong Ya had no choice but to sincerely apologize to Keqing instead of pretending to be pitiful to gain sympathy as she usually did.

"Well, it's okay."

After hearing Nangong Ya's sincere apology, Keqing nodded with satisfaction.

"Paimon..."

While Keqing and Ying continued to talk, Nangong Ya grabbed Paimon and brought him aside.

"Wow! You obviously gave that nickname to me, Xiaoya. Paimon is innocent!"

"That's what Paimon taught me."

"Wow? Xiaoya, can you please have some shame..."

Paimeng was grabbed by Nangong Ya's two hands and couldn't break free. He argued with Nangong Ya in frustration.

On the other hand, Ying was also shocked by Keqing's disrespectful attitude towards the Master during the subsequent conversation.

However, in the end, Keqing still told Ying how to get to the Jade Pavilion, and then said goodbye to them and left.

"Say, do we need to prepare some gifts for meeting each other? This is also the etiquette of Liyue, right?"

On the way back to Liyue Harbor, Paimon suddenly thought of this.

"Okay, okay. I'll go to the Hall of the Dead and get an urn to put the gift in. The exquisitely crafted urn looks extremely beautiful, and I can also take revenge for the rumor spread about me!"

When Nangong Ya heard Paimeng's proposal, her eyes lit up and she quickly agreed.

"Eh? This is not good!"

"I also think it's inappropriate..."

Ying and Paimeng unanimously rejected Nangong Ya's proposal.

"Tsk, you have no taste. The urns in our Wangsheng Hall are not available to ordinary people. And I heard that Sister Walnut also launched the Seven Gods customized urn today, and the Rock God urn is on sale now..."

Nangong Ya curled her lips and didn't force it, but she still started muttering to herself.

"..."

Because of Nangong Ya’s disruption, Paimeng had no idea what gift to give in the end.

In desperation, he had to follow Nangong Ya's advice and prepare a dish called Golden Crab.

"Does Ningguang really like to eat golden crabs?"

After packing the golden crab in the exquisite gift box he bought, Paimon looked at Nangong Ya with some uncertainty.

"Look at the color of the golden crab. It looks very rich and powerful. She, the richest woman in Liyue, will definitely like it."

Nangong Ya nodded affirmatively, but she was laughing secretly in her heart.

"Let you make up a rumor about me, hehe..."

If Nangong Ya remembered correctly, Ningguang had no praise for dishes like golden crab.

Just like that, Ying brought an exquisite gift box, and brought Nangong Ya and Paimeng to Yujingtai to find the [guide] Buyun.

"Hello, do you sell moons here?"

Following the secret code taught by Keqing, Paimeng tried to ask Buyun.

"Yes, how many do you want?"

"It is not convenient to reveal the quantity."

Just like that, after hearing the secret signal given by Yuheng, the three of them stood on the lift platform together.

"So, so scary! Is climbing up to the Jade Pavilion also a test?!"

Standing on the pumice lift, after confirming that there was no protection around, Paimon grabbed Ying's hair in fear and dared not let go.

"..."

If this continues, I will be bald sooner or later...

Ying was feeling depressed. At this time, the pumice lift also floated upwards, carrying her and Nangong Ya towards the Qun Yu Pavilion.

When the two of them and Paimon climbed up to the Jade Pavilion, Ningguang, wearing a cheongsam, walked out gracefully from the Jade Pavilion.

"I have been waiting for you for a long time, the person who has returned from the clouds."

Ningguang looked at Ying, Paimeng, and Nangong Ya beside them with a little interest.

"We have prepared a gift for our first meeting. I hope you like it."

Ying walked forward and handed the exquisite gift box in her hand to Ningguang.

"For me? Thank you so much. I invited the three of you to come, but I ended up causing you two trouble."

Ningguang took the gift box, thanked her, and handed it to Baishi who was following her.

"No worries, no worries~ But the Jade Pavilion is so beautiful!"

Paimeng waved his hands embarrassedly, and then couldn't help praising the Qun Yu Pavilion.

"This palace is floating above all the mountains, and from here you can have a clear view of the entire Liyue Harbor."

"…At first it was only the size of a room, but now it has grown to the point where it obscures the true silver moon above Liyue."

"I believe that one day, its shadow will fall over the Seven Kingdoms."

Hearing the praise for the Qun Yu Pavilion, Ningguang smiled and introduced the Qun Yu Pavilion and her own dream.

"But the altitude of Fontaine is quite high. Even the plains are higher than the highest peak in Jueyunjian. If the Qun Yu Pavilion flies over there, won't it collide with it?"

Listening to Ningguang talking about her dream, Nangong Ya immediately asked.

"...I am also aware of Fontaine's situation. The Jade Pavilion can move freely in the air, so it can naturally continue to rise and fall."

Ningguang looked at Nangong Ya in silence for a moment before explaining.

"That's it..."

Nangong Ya then nodded in understanding, which was the answer to the question that had puzzled her back then.

"Xiaoya, where are you going?"

While Ningguang and Ying continued their conversation, Nangong Ya took the opportunity to sneak aside. Paimeng, who noticed this, didn't care about his curiosity about what Ningguang said and hurriedly caught up with Nangong Ya.

"Hehe, I plan to dig a small piece of the Qun Yu Pavilion back."

After avoiding the guards on the Qun Yu Pavilion and Ningguang's secretary, Nangong Ya rubbed his hands with a wicked smile, looked around and thought about which piece he should dig out.

"This... it's not good to destroy other people's houses without permission..."

Hearing Nangong Ya's thoughts, Paimon felt a little uneasy and wanted to stop her.

"Don't worry, I just want to dig up a floor tile and take it back."

"I want to try and see if after I touch this floor tile, it will fly towards the Jade Pavilion, or the Jade Pavilion will fly towards me."

Nangong Ya waved her hand and explained.

But after hearing this explanation, Paimeng became even more panicked and quickly grabbed Nangong Ya's wrist to stop her.

"No! No matter how you think about it, it won't work! That would mean the end of Liyue Harbor!"

Due to Paimeng's obstruction, Nangong Ya was ultimately unable to get the floor tiles of the Qun Yu Pavilion as she wished.
