Three bowls of rice doesn't cost more than a bowl of soup. At a table in a restaurant somewhere, Kong, Paimon, and Zhongli were sitting here listening to books and drinking tea, talking about the ceremony of sending the immortals.

"By the way, after dealing with the treasure-stealing group, Ye Li followed Miss Keqing and did something mysterious."

Paimeng asked the question in her mind, and Zhongli, who was sitting opposite her, gave an ambiguous answer.

"After all, we are dealing with the important matter of the Treasure Stealers. Perhaps your relationship with the Seven Stars will become better. Young friend Ye Li followed Miss Keqing for this matter."

"He's really worked hard. He's been busy with us all the way and hasn't even had a bite to eat."

Paimon's voice was a little frustrated, and Kong was also worried about Ye Li's busyness.

"You don't need to worry about that. His cooking skills are not much worse than Miss Xiangling's. Besides, if we really eat, we will eat with Qixing."

"That means he eats better than us."

"As far as common sense is concerned, indeed."

"Ahhh, no, next time I see him I have to ask him what kind of fancy food he eats so I can ask Sora to help buy some for him to try."

Paimon's tone changed instantly, but what he said made Kong speechless. However, he knew that Paimon was just joking. If he really did that, his food expenses this month would be directly proportional to the level of his busy adventure commissions.

Fortunately, there is still a lot of commission funds from Mond for conquering monsters, plus the subsequent rewards for assisting in the arrest, there is no need to worry about the expenses in the past six months for the time being.

……

Qun Yu Pavilion, internal conference hall.

The exquisite colored glaze display cups were neatly arranged. Ningguang held the teacup in her hand and looked at Ye Li who was sitting opposite her and said:

"I didn't expect that there would be a base of treasure-stealing groups near Tianheng Mountain, which is so close to Liyue. Moreover, they are carrying out large-scale operations at this critical juncture. If you hadn't discovered it early, I'm afraid that the village would have been looted."

"You and I both know the nature of the treasure-stealing group. The person behind the scenes is a tough presence in the dark side of Teyvat. To be able to gather so many people at this critical juncture, I believe Miss Ningguang should understand that there is a problem within the group."

"But mice will always hide in the dark. Even if I can catch them all, the information I can obtain is limited."

"The Treasure Stealers, the Fatui, and the Lonely Cloud Pavilion are full of monsters. This mixed environment will test your management ability. But I believe you can handle it all."

Seeing the expectation in Ye Li's eyes, Ningguang, who also had a sense of responsibility for the land of Liyue, took a deep breath, drank a sip of refreshing tea, put the teacup on the coffee table and said:

"Thank you very much for your trust. If you can accept the inheritance, I'm sure the immortal family won't put so much pressure on you."

"What the immortals want is the attitude of the Seven Stars and humans. The death of the Emperor is no less of a blow to them than it is to you, and may even be more severe.

As for the inheritance, maybe one day I will have to, or my mindset will change, or I will find someone more suitable than me. "

Looking at Ye Li in front of her, who seemed lazy but spoke very seriously, Ningguang suddenly had a feeling of meeting him for the first time, but the feeling disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Things in the world are unpredictable. With all the forces coming together, we are just a leaf boat in the turbulent waves. Just do your best."

Ye Li stood up from the comfortable soft chair, put down the unfinished tea set, turned and walked towards the door, and said to Ning Guang without turning his head:

"By the way, remember to notify all places in Liyue to strengthen their vigilance. This is what a wise man among the immortals told me, but with your wisdom you should have considered it. I won't say much. See you again if we are lucky."

After saying goodbye, Ye Li jumped out of the window next to the main entrance. This unconventional way of leaving somehow relieved Ningguang of the pressure that had accumulated over the past few days, and she also remembered some details of her original plan.

In the air below the Qun Yu Pavilion, Ye Li fell in free fall accompanied by the sound of whistling wind, but someone did not react at all.

Looking at the prosperous city getting closer and closer below, Ye Li's gaze was calm. He just adjusted his body and headed towards his destination, with the wings of wind behind him spread out.

Gliding all the way to the entrance of Wanmin Hall, many people who came to eat were not surprised by Ye's landing. There were many rich young men who played with this thing from high altitudes, and there was no need to mention the unlucky ones who occasionally fell and got injured.

After folding the Wings of Wind, Ye Li stepped into the Wanmin Hall. After greeting Master Mao, he went upstairs and came to the old place.

After all, Kong and Zhongli guessed half right. Ningguang was quite generous with Kong's reward. Ganyu, who went to deliver the invitation letter, also took the reward along with her, without any sign of procrastination.

After going up to the 5th floor, Ye Li came to the last private room, knocked twice, opened the door and entered. The people who came into his sight were Hu Tao, Xing Qiu and others.

"Ye Li Keqing, why did you come just now? Everyone is waiting for you until the flowers are almost withered."

Facing Hu Tao's teasing, Ye Li just told the truth:

"I can't help it. I had to follow Zhongli to deal with the Immortal Delivery Ceremony. I ran around here and there and was busy for most of the day before I got it done. I also had to report the progress to Ningguang later, so it's normal for me to be late."

"Okay, okay. I know you've worked hard. Tell me what's going on. I can't just let everyone come over to play."

Hu Tao's doubts are also the doubts of Xingqiu and others. They already knew about the death of the Emperor from their previous communication with Hu Tao. They were also very sad in their hearts, but life must go on. Knowing the truth can be regarded as a disguised witness to everyone's friendship.

"We called everyone out this time to prepare for the big event that will happen tomorrow. By then, the entire Liyue Harbor will be on alert."

As soon as Ye Li said this, everyone's expressions suddenly became serious and the atmosphere instantly became heavy.

"It sounds like something big that I shouldn't know about. How about I go out first to avoid suspicion?"

Although Charlotte, who was pulled over by Walnut to have a meal, was very curious, she didn't dare to get involved in the country's major domestic affairs, as it might bring unnecessary trouble to Fontaine.

"Miss reporter, you can know about this, but you have to sign a contract first to promise not to leak it."

Charlotte's interruption immediately eased the serious atmosphere among the crowd. Ye Li also changed the topic and talked about the recent movements of the Fatui.

"I see. Kong is actually so capable. He has contact with immortals and cooperates with the Seven Stars. Now that you've revealed such an important thing, aren't you afraid that Ningguang will find fault with you afterwards?"

Xingqiu, who had figured out the whole thing, turned to look at Yeli at the table. Some resentment towards Ningguang in his heart prompted him to ask a question, and Yeli answered very straightforwardly:

"Don't worry about that. The cooperation contract between me and her doesn't include an option to not disclose secrets. Besides, Liyue Harbor is full of mixed people nowadays. It's better to make some preparations and arrangements than to be stupid and know nothing."

"Then what should we do? If we don't have a detailed plan, running around like a headless fly will cause problems."

At this moment, Yan Fei, who was a demigod, spoke. She knew Ye Li's situation and also understood why Ningguang did not stop her from speaking, but she still wanted to know the key execution issues.

"I have already arranged this. Ye Ci will explain it to you one by one."

At this moment, Ye Ci, who was sitting next to Ye Li, stood up, took a pill, picked up the evil eye, and weaved a large map with grass elements. The level of sophistication surprised everyone except Ye Li.
