Genshin Impact: Learning makes me stronger

Chapter 397 Ningguang Invites

Wendy shook her head slightly, a mysterious smile on her lips, "I came to Liyue this time not to look for the old man, but for other things."

Paimon's curiosity was completely aroused. She moved closer to Wendy, her eyes sparkling. "Other things? What is it?"

Wendy lowered her voice to sound mysterious, "Well, this is a secret that cannot be revealed."

Paimeng pouted in dissatisfaction, put his hands on his hips, and said angrily: "Humph, singing for money, you only know how to whet people's appetite."

"Hey~" Wendy smiled slyly, but had no intention of explaining.

Su Xun and Ying looked at each other. Although they were somewhat curious about Wendy's purpose in coming to Liyue this time, neither of them asked. After all, looking at Wendy's expression, it was obvious that she didn't want others to know, so let's not ask.

Everyone has their own secrets, and others should not explore them too much.

Just as everyone fell into a brief silence, the door of the courtyard was suddenly knocked.

Su Xun got up and opened the door, only to see a short-haired woman with a pretty face and dressed in secretary's attire standing outside.

"Are you... Miss Baishi, the secretary of Lord Ningguang?" Su Xun looked at the woman in front of him with a little surprise.

Bai Shi smiled reservedly and said happily, "Yeah, yes, I didn't expect Mr. Su Xun to recognize me. I feel deeply honored."

"Haha." Su Xun smiled. "Miss Bai Shi, you are joking. I believe everyone in Liyue Port should know that Lord Ningguang of Tianquan Star has three capable secretaries. I wonder why Miss Bai Shi came here today?"

Bai Shi smiled slightly at Su Xun's compliment, and said directly without further ado, "Mr. Su Xun, Lord Ningguang invites you to the Qun Yu Pavilion for a chat."

"Ningguang is looking for me?" Su Xun was slightly startled and felt a little strange.

This was the first time Ningguang took the initiative to invite him to the Qun Yu Pavilion.

Su Xun secretly wondered the purpose of Ningguang's invitation.

"I wonder why Lord Ningguang wants to see me?" Su Xun asked.

Bai Shi shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know the specific details either. Mr. Su Xun will know when he goes there."

Su Xun nodded and looked back at Yingmei and the curious Paimon and Wendy.

Ying, who heard the conversation between the two, smiled and said, "Go ahead, we'll wait for you here."

She felt that Ningguang was probably looking for Su Xun to discuss some political matters. After all, Su Xun was a seven-star inspector. If the Liyue leaders had any major decisions or matters that needed to be discussed, they were obliged to let him know.

Su Xun nodded slightly, chatted with Wendy for a few words, let him do as he pleased, and then went to the Qun Yu Pavilion with Bai Shi.

Along the way, Su Xun thought about Ningguang's purpose, but after thinking for a moment, he felt that there was no need to waste his brain energy, he would know it soon anyway, so he stopped thinking about it.

Soon, the two arrived at the Qun Yu Pavilion.

Bai Shi led Su Xun to Ning Guang's study, then she stepped out and gently closed the door.

In the study, Ningguang sat behind the desk, her luxurious attire showing her elegance and majesty.

What surprised Su Xun was that there was another person in the room besides Ningguang.

He knew this person. It was none other than Ye Lan.

Although he had only known Queen Ye Tian in the game in his previous life and the two had never met in real life, Su Xun recognized her at a glance when he saw her familiar temperament and dress.

At this moment, this heroic woman with delicate face and capable temperament was looking at Su Xun with interest, with a smile on her lips and a look in her eyes that made Su Xun feel a little strange.

Su Xun did not think much about it. As one of the top intelligence chiefs in Liyue and a semi-official staff member cooperating with Ningguang, the Tianquan Star, Ye Lan must be well aware of the many strange people and things in Liyue. Perhaps she showed such an expression because she knew some of his deeds.

Although he didn't know what she was thinking, Su Xun didn't pay too much attention to it. Instead, he greeted Ningguang and asked, "Master Ningguang, what do you want to talk to me about?"

After hearing Su Xun's words, Ningguang's face, which had originally been smiling, showed a helpless look.

"Su Xun, I treat you as a friend, why are you still so distant?"

Su Xun was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "I was negligent, Ningguang."

Ningguang nodded slightly, pointed to a seat nearby, and said, "Sit down."

Su Xun sat down as he was told and looked at Ningguang, waiting for her to explain the purpose of her visit.

Ningguang took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Su Xun, I came here to discuss an important matter with you."

"Please speak." Su Xun nodded.

Ningguang put down the teacup, glanced at Ye Lan, then smiled and said to Su Xun: "No hurry, before explaining the matter, let me introduce this person to you first."

Ningguang raised her hand slightly, pointed at Ye Lan and said, "This is Ye Lan, the intelligence expert of Liyue Harbor and my important partner."

Su Xun nodded slightly, smiled politely at Ye Lan, and nodded.

"Hello, Miss Ye Lan."

Ye Lan blinked her eyes and said teasingly, "Brother Su Xun, I have heard of your great name for a long time. You have nine wives, which is really the envy of others."

"Uh..." Su Xun didn't expect Ye Lan to suddenly bring up this topic, and felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

"Ye Lan!" Ningguang frowned slightly and scolded Ye Lan lightly with a hint of blame in her eyes.

Ye Lan just shrugged and gave a meaningful smile.

"Sorry, Su Xun, Ye Lan just likes to joke around, don't take it too seriously." Ningguang explained to Su Xun.

Su Xun had already toughened up his skin, and he didn't take it too seriously. After a little embarrassment, his expression returned to calm.

He coughed lightly and shrugged, "It's okay, Ningguang, go on."

Ningguang breathed a sigh of relief. She had just been a little worried that Su Xun would mind Ye Lan's joke, but now it seemed that Su Xun didn't take it to heart, so that was good.

If you anger this immortal disciple who also serves as the Seven-Star Inspector, it will be disastrous.
