Genshin Impact: Learning makes me stronger

Chapter 375 Iwagami Teahouse

Shen He just smiled faintly and said nothing.

The atmosphere was silent for a while. Ningguang knew that Shen He had a cold personality, so she took the initiative to bring up the topic: "Miss Shen He, I wonder if you still have time after you get married. If you have nothing to do, maybe you can continue your previous work. Liyue also needs masters like you to protect it."

Shen He shook his head slightly, his expression calm: "I just want to be with my husband now, and I don't want to do anything else."

Ningguang smiled softly and nodded in understanding: "That's right. Being with the one you love is better than anything else."

The two chatted for a few more sentences, and then Shen He said goodbye and left.

But after walking a few steps, Shen He suddenly turned around, hesitated for a moment, and said to Ningguang: "By the way, Miss Ningguang, when I was picking food in the mountains just now, I found some Fatui moving around. They were sneaky and I don't know what they were doing. Maybe you can keep an eye on them."

Ningguang's eyebrows slightly raised, she put down her chopsticks, her eyes became sharp: "The Fatui? This is news worthy of attention."

After thinking for a few seconds, Ningguang raised her head and said to Shen He, "Thank you Miss Shen He for telling me. I will send someone to investigate this matter."

Shen He nodded slightly, said no more, turned around and left Wanmin Hall.

Ningguang picked up the chopsticks again and continued to enjoy the food in front of her, but in her heart she had already started thinking about the news brought by Shen He.

The Fatui's activities in Liyue have always attracted much attention. This time they were sneaky and must have some agenda. Considering the abnormal flow of funds in the Northland Bank, Ningguang became even more alert.

“Alas, this huge Liyue really is a place that never makes us feel at ease.” Ningguang sighed lightly.

After finishing her meal, Ningguang left Wanmin Hall.

On the streets of Chihuyan, as the sky gradually darkened, the lights began to light up, adding a sense of mystery and warmth to the Liyue Harbor at night.

Ningguang walked alone on the stone road, her eyes penetrated the crowd and fell on the farther place.

Looking down from the night sky, Ningguang, dressed in a golden cheongsam with an elegant and noble temperament, walks against the bustling flow of people, like a golden lotus blooming in the world, independent and aloof from the world.

When passing a street, Ningguang stopped and looked at the two-story building on the side.

The building has an exquisite and elegant appearance, and its main structure is made of wood with a warm brown tone.

The roof is covered with green tiles, and the eaves are upturned, light and agile.

And on the plaque of the small building, there are four large, vigorous and powerful characters written - Yanshang Tea House!

Ningguang pondered for a moment, then walked towards the door of the Yanshang Teahouse.

"Lord Ningguang?" The two bodyguards, a man and a woman, at the door bowed respectfully upon seeing Ningguang.

Ningguang nodded slightly, motioning for them to open the door.

The two looked at each other, then opened the door and let Ningguang walk in.

"By the way, why did Lord Ningguang come here in person? Don't he usually send someone to pass on messages to the boss?" one of the bodyguards muttered in a low voice.

"Maybe it's something important. Don't make random guesses and just do your job well." said another bodyguard.

Ningguang walked into the tea room, which was elegantly decorated and quiet, with a faint scent of tea filling the air.

There weren't many people in the tea room. The few guests were chatting in low voices and sipping tea with a calm look on their faces.

When Chu Yi, the waiter in the tea room, saw Ningguang, he was stunned for a moment, then hurried over to greet her.

"Lord Ningguang, are you here to see our boss?" Chu Yi asked in a low voice after moving closer.

"Well, where's Yelan?"

Chu Yi nodded slightly, motioning Ningguang to follow her, and said softly, "The boss is in the private room upstairs. I'll take you upstairs."

The two of them walked slowly up the wooden stairs. There were several landscape paintings hanging on both sides of the stairs, adding a touch of elegance.

Arriving on the second floor, Chu Yi gently knocked on a carved wooden door.

"Come in." Ye Lan's voice came from inside the house.

Chu Yi gently pushed the door open, made a gesture of invitation to Ningguang, and then retreated.

Ningguang walked into the room and saw Ye Lan sitting at the tea table by the window, playing with an exquisite teacup in her hands, her eyes seemingly gazing at the night view outside the window.

"Ye Lan." Ningguang called softly.

Ye Lan turned her head and raised her eyebrows slightly, obviously surprised.

"Ningguang? Why are you here?"

"Why, I can't come?" Ningguang smiled slightly, her delicate face was like a blooming rose.

"That's not the case. I'm just a little surprised. Don't you usually ask Baiwen to come and pass on the message?" Ye Lan put down the teacup in her hand, stood up and walked towards Ningguang.

"Is there something you forgot to tell me this morning?" Ye Lan asked curiously.

Ningguang shook her head, sat down opposite Ye Lan, and told her in detail what Shen He had told her: "This is the news I just learned about the Fatui..."

After listening quietly, Ye Lan tapped the table with her fingers and said, "So, you think the whereabouts of the Fatui are related to the unusual movement of funds in the Northland Bank?"

Ningguang nodded slightly. "I don't know if I'm just being too sensitive, but I always feel like there's some connection between these two things."

Hearing this, Ye Lan smiled softly, "No matter whether these two things are related or not, since they both involve the Fatui, we must investigate them thoroughly."

"You always have this awareness." Ningguang smiled.

"Don't give me that. I just came back. Can't you let me rest for a few more days?" Ye Lan rolled her eyes at Ning Guang.

Ningguang took a sip of tea and said, "Who made you so capable? The safety of Liyue depends on you and me."

"Hmph, let me make it clear in advance that I am not your subordinate. If you want me to work for you, you must pay me a lot." Ye Lan crossed his arms and looked at Ningguang with a smile.

Ningguang just smiled calmly, "When did I fail to pay you?"

"Okay, you're a rich woman, you have the final say." Ye Lan shrugged.

Next, the two sat opposite each other, tasting the fragrant tea from Qiaoying Manor in a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.

After a moment, Ye Lan seemed to have thought of something and asked with interest, "By the way, Ningguang, I heard that Su Xun is already married, is that true?"

Ningguang paused slightly while holding the coaster, then she nodded.

"Yeah, it was a month ago."

A trace of surprise flashed across Ye Lan's eyes. "If I remember correctly, this boy is only nineteen years old. He got married so early. Isn't he a disciple of an immortal? Aren't cultivators supposed to focus on cultivation and not get involved in worldly affairs?"

Ningguang gently put down the teacup and said, "Although he is a disciple of the immortal family, he also has his own emotions and choices. And his wife is also an extraordinary person."

Ye Lan chuckled: "This is interesting. I wonder what kind of woman can make him willing to get married so early."

Ningguang narrowed her eyes slightly, recalling the figures of Shen He and others: "They are all women with their own charm and abilities."

"All of them?" Ye Lan raised his eyebrows, looking surprised: "Could it be that he has more than one wife?"
