Genshin Impact: Learning makes me stronger

Chapter 399 A Little Ambiguous Accident

Su Xun smiled and said, "Actually, I don't study alchemy that often, and I haven't used up all the resources I collected, so there's not much that needs to be reimbursed."

Su Xun did not take his achievements in alchemy too seriously. After all, his main focus was on cultivation.

At first, his purpose of learning alchemy was just to improve his strength, but since he broke through to the immortal realm, the effect of alchemy on improving his strength has gradually weakened, so he rarely uses this skill anymore.

Perhaps, only when there is a new breakthrough in the level of alchemy can it contribute to the growth of his strength again.

“I see…” Ningguang suddenly realized and nodded in understanding.

"In that case, you can always come to me when you need me."

Su Xun nodded slightly, expressing his gratitude for Ningguang's kindness.

At this time, Ye Lan had been watching the two people talking quietly, with an inexplicable light flashing in her eyes from time to time.

When the conversation between Ningguang and Su Xun came to an end, Ye Lan coughed lightly and said, "Ningguang, I'm leaving first. There are some things I need to take care of."

"Wait, Ye Lan, it's already noon. Why don't we have lunch together before leaving. And Su Xun, you should stay and have lunch with us." Ningguang suggested. She looked out the window and saw that it was almost noon.

"Oh? Let's have lunch together?" Ye Lan raised her eyebrows slightly, with a hint of smile on her lips. "It's so rare that the great Tianquan Star actually invites me to have lunch together. This is something that many people in Liyue Port would love to have. In this case, I would be honored to refuse."

Hearing this, Ningguang smiled calmly and said, "We are partners who get along well with each other. I will naturally treat you with courtesy."

"What do you think? Su Xun?" Ningguang turned to Su Xun and asked with a smile.

Su Xun smiled awkwardly. Not long after he finished lunch with Yingmei, Wendy and the others, he was called over by Bai Shi. Naturally, he did not expect Ningguang to treat him to a meal, so it seemed unnecessary to have another meal.

However, as a powerful practitioner, he could digest any amount of food, so Su Xun did not reject Ningguang's kindness, but smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Since Lord Ningguang is so kind, I will respectfully obey your orders."

Ningguang saw Su Xun agreed, and the smile on her face became softer. "Okay, I have asked Bai Shi to invite the chefs from Liuli Pavilion and Xinyue Pavilion to prepare lunch. I believe their cooking skills will not disappoint you."

"Wow! Then I must taste it carefully. The dishes from these two restaurants are not easy to get." Ye Lan showed an expectant look.

Su Xun just nodded without comment, his expression calm.

To be honest, although the chefs in these two most famous restaurants in Liyue have extraordinary skills, their cooking skills are at most on par with Xiangling's, and are far inferior to his own, so he naturally would not expect too much.

After all, artistic level cooking skills are already extraordinary, how can these ordinary mortals compare to them?

At lunch time, Ningguang, Su Xun and Ye Lan were sitting in the restaurant of the Qun Yu Pavilion. The chefs from Liuli Pavilion and Xinyue Pavilion had already served exquisite dishes on the table.

Although the dishes were delicious, Su Xun just tasted a few bites politely and did not show much interest.

During the meal, Ningguang and Ye Lan discussed some intelligence information without hiding anything from Su Xun.

In Ningguang's opinion, Su Xun, as a disciple of the immortal family and also holding the position of Seven-Star Inspector, is absolutely a legitimate descendant of Liyue, so there is no need to hide too much.

Ye Lan was naturally aware of Su Xun's identity. As an intelligence officer, she had thoroughly investigated Su Xun's identity, background and other information a long time ago.

She also understood Ningguang's trust in Su Xun, so she had no scruples either.

Su Xun listened to the conversation between the two and occasionally agreed with a few words.

Although he was not particularly interested in this information, he was able to learn some information about the situation in Liyue.

In this way, the three of them spent a not-so-long lunch time in a relaxed and happy atmosphere.

After lunch, Ye Lan was the first to stand up and say goodbye.

She said to Ningguang and Su Xun, "I still have some business to attend to, so I'll leave first."

Ningguang smiled and nodded in response, and Su Xun also politely saw Ye Lan off.

After Ye Lan left, only Su Xun and Ning Guang were left on the field.

Ningguang looked at Su Xun, then at the dishes on the table, and asked softly, "Su Xun, do these dishes suit your taste?"

Su Xun blinked and replied politely: "Very good, the chefs of Liuli Pavilion and Xinyuexuan are indeed well-deserved."

Ningguang nodded slightly, and the two chatted for a while before Su Xun stood up and said goodbye.

"I'll see you off." Ningguang stood up gracefully, her white and gold cheongsam swaying gently with her movements, showing her noble temperament.

Su Xun nodded slightly to express his gratitude: "Thank you very much, but don't bother me, I can go back by myself."

Ningguang smiled softly and said, "It's not a big deal. I need to move around a bit anyway."

The two walked out of the Qun Yu Pavilion together, and Ningguang accompanied Su Xun to the door.

"Well, Su Xun, let's meet again next time..." Ningguang said to Su Xun with a smile while walking and turning her head.

"Watch your step!" At this time, Su Xun's eyes swept across a loose stone slab less than one meter in front of Ningguang, and he hurriedly reminded Ningguang.

However, Ningguang was slightly startled by Su Xun's sudden reminder, and her movements paused, but this pause caused her center of gravity to shift.

Ningguang's figure suddenly shook and she fell to the side.

Su Xun was quick-witted and instantly stretched out his arms to embrace Ningguang's slender waist.

The atmosphere suddenly solidified!

Ningguang was startled by Su Xun's sudden action and her beautiful eyes widened slightly. After being stunned for a few seconds, a blush quietly crept up her cheeks.

Su Xun felt Ningguang's body temperature and softness in his arms, and was stunned for a moment.

However, he quickly came to his senses, loosened his arms slightly, stepped back, kept a proper distance, coughed lightly and said: "Ningguang, are you okay? The situation was urgent just now, I'm sorry for the offense."

Ningguang steadied herself, the blush on her face still fading. She calmed herself down, shook her head slightly and said, "It's okay, thank you very much. If it weren't for you, I would have fallen down."

After saying that, Ningguang straightened her clothes and continued to walk side by side with Su Xun.

Su Xun nodded slightly, indicating that you're welcome, and then he turned his gaze to the loose stone slab and reminded: "Um... this stone slab is a little loose. Maybe it was not fixed properly before. Let's have someone fix it later."

“Yeah.” Ningguang responded softly.

The atmosphere between the two became somewhat subtle. After a moment of silence, Su Xun took the lead in breaking the silence: "Ningguang, if there is any new progress regarding the doctor's matter, remember to inform me in time."

Ning Guang looked at Su Xun and nodded slightly: "Don't worry, I will let you know as soon as I have any news."

Soon, they arrived at the elevator on the Qun Yu Pavilion.

Su Xun said goodbye to Ningguang again: "Then I will go back first, see you next time."
