Original God: Becoming the elder brother of the Thor twins

"I think we can get down to business."

Ningguang raised her eyebrows slightly, a sharp glint in her eyes. Her gaze was always fixed on Lei Dianshi, watching him slowly finish a cup of tea. The fragrance of the tea filled the air, but it could not ease the slightly solemn atmosphere at the moment.

"Do you mean the diplomatic aspect?"

Lei Dian released the teacup, and the bottom of the cup gently touched the table, making a slight sound. There was a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

"I'm afraid not. To invite me secretly alone, is there something else going on?"

A faint smile appeared on Lei Dianshi's lips. He had already seen through the mystery, but just didn't point it out. His deep eyes seemed to be able to see through all disguises.

"Kanpaku-sensei is insightful."

Ningguang first smiled, her smile as bright as the warm spring sun, but in the blink of an eye, her expression became serious, and that serious look was like the calm sea before the storm.

"Not long ago, the Emperor was murdered, and the entire Liyue Harbor became a place of panic."

Ningguang frowned slightly, a trace of sadness flashing in her eyes.

"First of all, I apologize for my recent neglect of your envoy. It was a helpless move. The forces in Liyue Harbor are complex and intertwined. I need you to distract us and buy us some time."

Her voice was low and sincere, and every word carried the difficult situation Liyue was facing at the moment.

Ningguang saw that Lei Dianshi's expression remained unchanged and he remained calm. She continued:

"How can a nation without gods survive? We must face this reality. As the Seven Stars of Liyue, we are responsible for the future of Liyue."

"The Fatui are our first obstacle. I believe that Mr. Kanpaku understands what I mean."

"You want me to help you suppress the Fatui?"

Lei Dianshi narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of tentativeness in his tone.

"To be more precise, it's a clamp."

Ningguang emphasized.

"The Fatui have exploited the Emperor's death to launch numerous covert actions that go beyond the bounds of diplomatic policy. As the Celestial Authority responsible for Liyue, I have no regard for elegance in my confrontation."

"So what good are we doing?"

Profits come first, Mora is king.

Without sufficient benefits, Lei Dianshi would not easily participate in such a thankless cooperation. He stared at Ningguang, waiting for her answer.

"Inazuma has been secluded for many years, and must be in urgent need of development. This is why Mr. Kanpaku is engaging in diplomacy. We can start with trade and economic cooperation. In addition, Liyue has partners throughout Teyvat, and Mr. Kanpaku can use me to connect with other..."

Ningguang spoke incessantly, every plan was carefully considered, and every cooperation point was full of temptation.

Hiss~ These contents seemed a bit complicated and difficult to understand, but his face remained calm and he had to pretend to listen. He believed that Ningguang would not do anything about it. After all, this was a major matter concerning the interests of both countries.

"How is it, Mr. Kanpaku, are you satisfied?"

There was a hint of anticipation in Ningguang's eyes. She hoped that this cooperation plan would impress Lei Dianshi.

"Not bad, but I want to make a request, which is not really a request."

Lei Dianshi crossed his arms across his chest, his expression indifferent.

"Tell me about it, Mr. Kanpaku."

Ningguang thought that Lei Dianshi was dissatisfied with her proposal for cooperation, and her heart tightened slightly.

"If I help Miss Ningguang a great favor in the future, should Miss Ningguang give something in return?"

Ningguang still had a smile on her face, but her heart was not at peace. There was a conspiracy.

"What does Mr. Kanpaku want from me?"

Her voice was slightly deeper.

"Miss Ningguang's most important thing."

Lei Dian Shi spoke word by word.

"..."

Ningguang was speechless for a moment. Everyone knew that the thing she considered most important was the Qun Yu Pavilion where they were now. It was her hard work and her pride. She would rather destroy it with her own hands than give it to anyone else.

"Mr. Kanpaku has quite the appetite."

Ningguang said coldly.

"But I think Miss Ningguang will agree. Maybe not now, but I believe she will agree soon. It won't be too late for Miss Ningguang to answer me then."

Lei Dianshi shrugged, not caring about the change in Ningguang's tone.

"Oh, then let's wait and see."

Ningguang's tone was unfriendly, and even a hint of anger flashed in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it.

"Miss Ningguang should be alright now. I'll be leaving now."

Lei Dianshi stood up and prepared to leave.

"Wait a moment." Ningguang shouted.

"Anything else?"

Lei Dianshi, who had already stood up, turned around, feeling somewhat puzzled. Was Ningguang unhappy with what had just happened and wanted to keep him?

"It's a small matter. I've taken up quite a bit of your time, Mr. Kanpaku. You can take any item from me and leave. This is Liyue etiquette."

Ningguang followed Lei Dianshi and stood up.

That's it.

Lei Dianshi looked around and found that everything that could be placed in the Qun Yu Pavilion was priceless. The jewels shone with brilliant light, the antiques exuded an ancient atmosphere, and the calligraphy and paintings contained a profound cultural heritage.

But Lei Dianshi was not very interested, or perhaps Lei Dianshi did not want Ningguang to suffer too much loss, and might take away the Qun Yu Pavilion in the future.

So Lei Dianshi casually took a piece of white paper from Ningguang's desk and left.

"Ugh--"

Ningguang sighed softly and asked Baiwen to escort Lei Dianshi for a while. After Baiwen took the order and left, the room returned to silence, leaving Ningguang sitting alone in her seat.

She raised her delicate hand and took out the pipe that was as gorgeous as a work of art. The gems inlaid on the pipe reflected a brilliant light under the light.

She filled the cigarette with tobacco gracefully, lit it gently with a lighter, and took a deep breath. In the smoke, her eyes became even deeper and more unfathomable, as if she was thinking about the next move in the chess game in the smoke. Every decision was related to the fate of Liyue.

"crunch"

A sound with a unique "texture" entered Ningguang's ears. It was the sound of a window being pushed open. The sound was particularly clear in the silent environment.

"Ningguang, smoking is harmful to your health after all, so it's better to smoke less."

It turned out that Ye Lan, who was hiding in the dark, came out after Lei Dianshi left. She waved her jade arm, as if to dispel the pungent smell of smoke, and there was a hint of concern in her eyes.

Ningguang glanced at Ye Lan, a faint smile curling up at the corner of her mouth:

"Humph, you're here to control me. It's just some little trick to relieve stress."

There was a hint of disapproval in her tone as she took another drag on her cigarette.

Ye Lan snorted, knowing that it would be harder than climbing to the sky to persuade Ningguang to smoke less, so she just said it casually.

"Why, is the Inazuma kanpaku available?"

Ningguang slowly put down her pipe and gently exhaled a puff of swirling white smoke, her expression slightly solemn.

"There are still too many uncertainties surrounding him, and further deployment is needed."

There was a hint of worry in her eyes. This cooperation with Lei Dianshi was full of variables.

"Also, the spies around him should be removed."

Ningguang then gave the order.

"it is good."

Ye Lan responded, and then couldn't help but remind him:

"Go to bed early, good night."

After saying that, she flashed and quickly climbed out of the window to leave to carry out her mission. Her figure quickly disappeared into the night.
