"Take care, remember to come over for dinner the day after tomorrow for the Lantern Festival."
"must."
Ye Lan drifted away.
Xia Zhi lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then took out the few Mora coins and threw them back on the table.
He tried to figure out who Miss Yelan's boyfriend was.
The hexagram is formed.
It looks ordinary, but it looks familiar.
Xia Zhi remained silent for a moment.
This... isn't this the fake destiny I created for myself?
Xia Zhi picked up Mora from the table, thought for a moment, and then threw it back on the table.
He then tried to figure out who Ningguang's boyfriend was.
The hexagram is formed.
Still nothing special.
It still looks familiar.
Xia Zhi fell silent again.
How come this is another fake destiny that I created for myself?
My relationship with Miss Yelan and Miss Ningguang is completely innocent!
Perhaps the divination method used by the True Lord of Shaving the Moon and Building the Sun is unreliable.
Xia Zhi put Mora away, shook his head, and got up to go to the kitchen.
Forget it, let nature take its course.
--
Ye Lan returned to the teahouse on the rock.
"Lord Yelan, you're back!"
"Well, how's your intelligence gathering going lately?"
"Never let up!"
"Very good, bring them all to me."
"Yes!"
Ye Lan brewed herself a cup of "Silver Thread Dew" to give herself a mental boost before organizing the intelligence.
The first thing to look at is information about summer shops.
Very well, no new vixen appeared...
Next, let's look at other related information.
"The Liyue Newspaper Office has been established, and the newspaper is stirring up rumors about Ningguang and the owner of the Summer Shop."
"The eighth seat of the Fatui Enforcers, the Lady—the Blazing Witch of Burning—died by the sword of General Inazuma Raiden. All current Fatui Enforcers have been recalled to attend her funeral."
"The Lantern Festival market is open, and the Thousand Rock Army is now under martial law."
"Unexplained and terrifying phenomena appeared on Tianheng Mountain in a short period of time."
"The Great Demon-Slaying Sage Xiao suddenly appeared in the city, accompanied by Zhongli, a guest elder of the Rebirth Hall. After offering incense at the Yiyan Hall, he mysteriously disappeared."
"Dr. Bai Zhu of Bubulu provides free medical consultations, his miraculous skills bring people back to life, and he has healed countless people."
……
After finishing her tea, Ye Lan quickly reviewed all the intelligence. She closed her eyes, rested for a while, and then called her subordinates.
"Lord Yelan, what are your orders?"
"Go and bring me all the newspapers published since the Liyue Newspaper Office was established."
"Yes."
Before long, a large stack of newspapers was placed on the table.
Ye Lan picked it up and looked at it.
I mainly look at the entertainment section.
"Tsk... Lady Ningguang is just too much..."
After reading all the newspapers, Ye Lan pondered for a while, then found two more intelligence reports on the table.
One of them is about Charlotte, the editor-in-chief of the Liyue Newspaper—from the Fontaine Steambird Newspaper.
One of them is about the mysterious astrologer—Mona, who contributes to the Liyue Newspaper's astrology column.
She looked at the two intelligence reports more carefully.
"Mona submits an article to the Liyue Newspaper once a week, and tomorrow is her regular submission day..."
Ye Lan chuckled softly.
"very good."
……
The next day.
Mona left the newspaper office in a cheerful mood.
Yay, I got another 10,000 molars in royalties.
I can go shopping happily again!
No, I can't buy anything randomly today.
The Lantern Festival is just around the corner, I need to save up some money to spend lavishly on that day!
Mona walked back with these thoughts in mind.
As I walked down a secluded street, I was suddenly stopped by a clear, cold voice.
"Miss, please wait a moment."
"Ok?"
Mona turned around and saw a tall, mature woman leaning against the wall.
"Were you calling me just now?"
"Yes, Miss Mona."
"!"
Mona's face immediately showed a look of vigilance, especially when she saw that she also had a Water Elemental Eye on her body.
"you know me?"
"Of course I know you, the contributor to the Liyue Newspaper's astrology column."
"What do you want to do?"
“Miss Mona, don’t be afraid. I just want to make a deal with you.”
"trade?"
"You are a great astrologer, and I happen to have some doubts in my mind. I hope you can help me with some divination."
"I'm sorry, I never do fortune telling for strangers."
"is it?"
"Okay, you should go somewhere else. I'm leaving."
Mona turned to leave.
Ye Lan smiled slightly and did not stop her, but slowly recited: "Astrologis Mona Megistus".
Hearing her pronounce her full name accurately, Mona stopped in her tracks, turning around to look at her with some surprise.
Yelan continued reading her intelligence: "Last month, she suddenly appeared in Liyue City. On her first day, she checked into the biggest and best inn in Liyue. On the second day, she passed by a stall run by a Sumeru merchant named Dori and was attracted by the astrological instruments he was selling. She spent almost all the money she had on her to buy the instruments. Afterwards, because she was short of money, she moved out of her original inn and moved into the cheapest single room inn. She even reached the point where she couldn't afford to eat and could only perform divination for passersby on the street to earn one or two Mora... Is this what you mean by never performing divination for strangers?"
Mona blushed and argued, "They gave it to Mora, so it wasn't a random divination!"
Yelan smiled and said, "I can give you Mora too."
Mona scoffed, "I don't need your Mora."
Ye Lan shook her head: "I just received my royalties. Having money in hand gives me confidence."
Mona's eyes widened: "Even without payment, I would still say the same thing!"
Yelan got up from the wall she was leaning against and slowly walked over: "I sincerely ask you again, if you would do my divination like those passersby, I would give you Mora in return. What do you think?"
Mona's eyes flickered slightly: "Not good?"
Yelan extended one finger.
