Qiu Nian looked at Tian Tiezui not far away and chuckled.
Without further ado, Tian Tiezui began to speak immediately.
"As you all know, right here by our port, there is a celestial palace in the clouds and a misty palace."
What does it mean to have connections and influence that reach the highest levels?
"Look at this, this is what you call having connections to the highest levels. This is the extraordinary business that Lord Ningguang has built up."
Tian Tiezui raised his head, looked at the huge Jade Pavilion floating in the sky, and said loudly.
"On a clear, bright day, look down from the deck outside the palace gate!"
"Wow, that's amazing! That's a panoramic view of most of Liyue Harbor..."
"It is said that whenever Lady Ningguang has an important matter, she always comes to this Jade Pavilion."
"Send away everyone else and only bring three trusted people with you."
"Why bring these three trusted confidants along?"
"So it turns out they were supposed to be on the sidelines organizing intelligence and processing data."
"The summaries are being posted on the wall, and there are more and more of them being posted."
"But before these white walls are covered, Lady Ningguang will surely be able to make a final decision."
"After making this decision, she will crush all the documents."
"Whoosh~ Throw those scraps of paper out the window."
"Good heavens, it's fluttering down like a sudden snowfall."
"The writing on the scraps of paper is like ink stains on the snow in the eyes of all the businessmen in Liyue. It is eye-catching!"
"A poem praises it, fluttering and falling like snow dust in the clouds, dense and sparse, each word is as precious as a rare treasure, and in the blink of an eye, the grandeur of rivers and mountains is swallowed up."
"Everyone knows that the power of heaven is supreme!"
At this point, Tian Tiezui clapped his hands with his folding fan.
The guests at the other tables around also cheered.
"Just imagine, although this thing is just scraps of paper, how precious must the thought process that Lord Ningguang used to make decisions be?"
"If you grab one or two more, the benefits that Lady Ningguang slips through her fingers will be a point or two more than your competitors..."
Tian Tiezui looked at the group of diners below and shook his head.
"Ningguang...?"
"A little girl who sold her goods barefoot all the way."
"Tianquan, now one of the seven stars of Liyue, is indeed powerful."
Qiu Nian slightly raised her head, gazing at the Jade Pavilion floating in the sky, and inwardly marveled.
Chapter 29 Qiu Nian, Invited to Qunyu Pavilion
"Tianquan Ningguang... I've been hearing this name a lot lately."
"The people of Liyue are talking about her, and the Fatui hate her."
"It seems like she's the one who underwent the burial of the Hidden Immortal Ancestor. We even saw her once during the Immortal Invocation Ceremony..."
"I wonder what kind of person she really is?"
Paimon looked at the group of twenty-odd people in front of him and spread out his small hands.
"Finally found you."
"A person who has returned from the Cloud Realm."
Just then, a rather cool and aloof female voice came from above.
Upon hearing the voice, Paimon's eyes widened, and he quickly looked around.
"Paimon, let's go!"
Ying immediately stood up, wanting to leave.
"Please wait a moment."
“I am not a member of the Thousand Rock Army, nor am I a constable sent to arrest you, but I am indeed an envoy of the Liyue Sept.”
"I am Gan Yu, Yue Haiting's secretary, and I have come to see you."
Upon hearing this sound, Qiu Nian and the others looked towards the roof.
There was a woman with long blue hair and a single tuft of hair sticking up from her head.
Two small black and red unicorn horns grew on her head.
The Eye of Ice is located on the Liyue Knot at the waist.
She was wearing a short white cheongsam with gold embellishments.
Inside was a tight-fitting backless bodysuit, covered by black stockings with gold embellishments on the hoops.
Overall, she looks very quiet and gentle, and seems to have an ethereal quality.
Ying looked up at Gan Yu on the roof, feeling somewhat puzzled.
"To be precise, my job is to be the secretary who is responsible to the entire Seven Stars organization."
"And this temporary role is that of Miss Ningguang's special envoy."
Gan Yu stood on the roof and explained to Ying below.
It was obvious that she did not recognize Zhongli or Qiu Nian.
"That's strange. It's understandable if Xiao Ganyu said she didn't recognize me."
"After all, I only stayed in Jueyun for ten years back then."
"Isn't it a bit unreasonable that he didn't recognize Morax?"
Qiu Nian looked at the sweet rain on the roof, then at Zhong Li beside her, feeling somewhat puzzled.
After all, Morax looks almost exactly the same as he did during the Demon War.
"Wow, it's Ningguang."
"The messenger of Ningguang has arrived."
Paimon looked at the rain on the roof and spread his little hands, complaining.
[Speak of the devil, and he appears, right?]
Gan Yu really appeals to my tastes.
[She has two horns on her head, could she be the coconut sheep that Qiqi was talking about?]
[You upstairs have quite the imagination!]
"A person returning from Jueyun Pass... Please forgive my lack of courtesy, as I am in the common people."
"But the letter I brought is an invitation formally drafted by Miss Ningguang in her capacity as Tianquan."
"We invite you and Mr. Qiu Nian to go to that heavenly palace."
Gan Yu looked down at Ying and Qiu Nian and began to explain.
Qiu Nian was somewhat puzzled when she heard that Ning Guang had also invited her.
You mean...an invitation?"
Paimon looked at the rain on the roof and asked with a strange expression.
"Yes, that's what Miss Ningguang said."
"I want to see her, I want to invite her to the Jade Pavilion, where I will accompany her to cut the tangled threads of the undercurrents one by one."
Gan Yu nodded and then repeated what Ning Guang had said.
"and many more..."
Why invite Qiu Nian?
Ying looked at Gan Yu on the roof and asked the question that had been bothering her.
"Hmm...Isn't Mr. Qiu Nian also a person who returned from Jueyun Pass, just like you?"
"I think this is probably why Ningguang Society invited Mr. Qiu Nian."
Gan Yu pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then explained to the people below.
After saying that, Gan Yu turned to leave.
"Wait a moment, Miss Gan Yu."
"You haven't told us how to get to the Jade Pavilion yet."
Qiu Nian looked at Gan Yu, who had turned around on the roof, and spoke up to remind her.
Upon hearing this, Gan Yu's beautiful purple eyes widened, and then she blinked.
Oh no, I almost forgot about something so important.
She then told the group the secret code for ascending the Tianquan Star pavilion before leaving.
"She must have completely forgotten, right?"
Paimon watched Gan Yu's departing figure and said with a disdainful expression.
"However, it's unbelievable that we actually received an invitation from the Liyue Septate."
"When meeting wealthy people, you must pay attention to etiquette!"
Paimon turned his head, looked at Ying beside him and Qiu Nian beside him, and reminded them with a smile.
"I've always been very polite."
"What idea are you plotting now?"
Ying looked at Paimon beside her with a puzzled expression.
