The stone walls of Salt of the Earth are still damp and covered with thick pale salt frost. Sometimes, one or two drops of salt water will roll down from the stone pillars hanging from the roof of the cave and hit the ground, where they will melt into the sand in a moment.
In the soil and salt gravel, there is not even a splash of water.
Except for scholars who study history, few people remember that Yantu once had a loving mother. Perhaps only those descendants of Yantu still remember to devoutly replace fresh flowers at the entrance of the temple every year.
Ning Guang watched Heulia leave, and immediately stepping out of the banquet hall were Pantalone, the executive sent by the Fools, and Harpas, the god of fierce battle.
The two of them seemed to be sure that Liyue Qixing could not keep them. Their eyes did not even linger on the heavily armed Qianyan Army, and they walked towards the exit of the exclusive VIPs while talking and laughing.
This is indeed the case. Although the Qianyan Army soldiers blocked all the entrances and exits of the banquet hall, as Famas and Pantalone advanced without warning, the Qianyan Army soldiers holding axes and axes guarding the exits retreated one after another.
After all, the shocking scene of Famas throwing weapons is still in front of his eyes, coupled with the ignorant executive officers and the winter lady Irina who shows the power of two elements, no one is willing to face the three elements of the same camp.
Power user.
"Miss Ningguang, is there anything else you want to tell me?"
Pantalone did not look back, but smiled at Qian Yanjun who was blocking them in front of them. His eyes were full of gentle and gentle interest, showing a friendly attitude, which was in sharp contrast to Qian Yanjun's nervous look.
"Of course not. Your Excellency, as the envoy of Zhidong, you can leave at any time."
Ning Guang stared at Pantalone's back, then turned to wink at Feng Yan.
The leader of the Qianyan Army made a retreat gesture, and the soldiers who blocked the exit slowly retreated. Pantalone and Famas left the almost airtight golden house surrounded by the Qianyan Army.
At this moment, besides Ning Guang, those who felt frustrated were also the travelers who were not of any help.
She just accidentally received Miss Ning Lan's commission. She didn't expect that this commission would involve so many secrets and events, the appearance of the Fool Executives, the division and rebellion within Liyue, and even the demon god who had been dead for thousands of years.
This is how you can recover.
What's more important is that the travelers couldn't figure out the positions of Famas and Zhongli. This time Famas stood on the seat of the fools. Although Zhongli went deep into the Molla casting workshop with them to investigate, he looked indifferent.
But it turned out that he had expected this.
The traveler always felt that Famas and Zhongli were hiding some truth, but the executive officer of the Fools was also present, so it was not convenient for her to question Famas.
But now that Famas and Pantalone left hand in hand, Xiying's attention naturally shifted to Zhongli.
Zhongli also noticed the traveler's eyes full of curiosity, but he did not mean to answer the other's doubts. Instead, after the fools left, he went straight to Ningguang and said his resignation to Tian Quanxing in a low tone.
"Miss Ningguang, since the truth has come to light, please excuse me."
"The Emperor Yanwang's ceremony of sending immortals will begin at 10 o'clock today. The Hall of Rebirth needs to prepare for the sending of immortals. Please be on time to preside over it."
Although it was a request, there was not much respect in Zhongli's tone. It was like a routine notification from a superior to his subordinates. It was obvious that Morax, who was used to giving oracles, had not fully adapted to his status as a mortal, especially since he was still thinking in his heart.
When he is thinking about other things, he will subconsciously ignore the behavior that a mortal should have.
Ningguang had long been suspicious of Zhongli, so naturally she was not offended by Zhongli's tone. On the contrary, she heard some strange sense of urgency in Mr. Keqing's words.
Is it because you are worried that the immortal ceremony cannot be held as scheduled?
The dim shadows formed by the candlelight blocked Zhongli's expression, making it difficult to see clearly whether he was happy or sad. However, Ningguang had no reason to stop Zhongli from leaving this place and could only nod his head.
"Of course, I will have to go to Shengtang and Mr. Zhongli later."
"Wait... Zhongli! We'll go with you!"
Seeing that Mr. Keqing was about to run away, Paimeng hurriedly flew to Zhongli's side, stretched out his hand to grab the corner of his clothes, and kept turning around to wink at the traveler. When Yingmei saw this, she naturally took three steps at a time and rushed to Zhongli, and then used
Amber eyes looked at Zhongli expectantly.
"...Well, many chores also need to be done by travelers."
Who can resist the innocent look of a traveler?
After saying goodbye to Ningguang, Zhongli and the traveler walked in the direction Famas left. Before leaving, Paimon curiously looked around the banquet hall, then suddenly turned around and flew back to Ningguang: "Miss Ningguang, say
Get up, Yelan, is she okay?"
"Thank you for your concern. It's okay."
The water light flashed, and Ye Lan's lazy voice sounded at the same time. You Ke, hiding in the shadows, suddenly appeared behind Paimon. The injured left shoulder had been bandaged, but the lack of blood on her lips made her denial sound.
Not very convincing.
"Aww!"
Paimon was startled by Ye Lan's cold voice. He didn't even have time to carefully observe the other person's clothes. He hurriedly flew back to the traveler, beating his chest as if he was in shock, and then turned his head and made a face at Ye Lan.
, followed the traveler and left the banquet hall.
"Do you need me to follow you?"
It wasn't until the figures of the traveler and Zhongli disappeared around the corner of the stairs of the venue that Ye Lan casually asked Ningguang.
Zhongli's identity is mysterious, and the traveler also has great powers. The two of them left the banquet hall so eagerly, obviously with ulterior motives.
Although Yelan couldn't understand why Ningguang gave these two people such boundless trust, she was still accustomed to taking all situations into her own hands.
After all, these people can easily stir up trouble in Liyue, even if they don't have that intention.
"No need, you'd better recover from your injuries." Ningguang turned her head helplessly and happened to meet Ye Lan's emerald green eyes, "It seems that the teahouse owner has met a well-matched opponent?"
"I don't deny this, but..."
Yelan raised her arm and shook her wrist. The white bandana on her shoulder had been cleaned by her using water elements, and the unique and refreshing orchid fragrance of Youke still remained on it.
But Ning Guang's attention was attracted by a pair of jingling bracelets on Ye Lan's right wrist. The bracelets were of the same style, and seemed to be reunited after a long absence, and at the same time glowed with a faint blue light.
"A scar in exchange for another Youqi wrist. I think this is a very good deal."
Yelan lowered her eyes slightly, and casually tugged the black hair behind her ears. The dim yellow light of the banquet hall reflected on Yelan's face, making it dim and shining with mottled light.
The severe pain that ordinary people can't bear is just a part of gains and losses in Ye Lan's eyes. Just like her life, Ye Lan doesn't mind and even enjoys it.
Irina, the lady from the Winter Country who followed Pantalone out of the Golden House, did not notice at all that the bracelet on her hand had been stolen by Ye Lan during the battle, and she still silently served the big banker.
