Chapter 38 Qunyu Pavilion
"…What is a paper airplane?"
Hu Tao was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but ask Liu Bai.
After all, there are currently no airplanes on the continent of Teyvat. Although there seem to be some airships, an airship folded out of paper definitely cannot fly.
Hearing Hu Tao's question, Nashida looked at Liu Bai with some curiosity.
"Since you are so curious, I will show you."
Seeing the looks in Hu Tao and Nashida's eyes, Liu Bai immediately walked to the wall with the flyer and folded a paper plane on the wall.
"Hey, look, this is a paper airplane."
"Ha~"
After folding it successfully, Liu Bai blew on the nose of the plane, then gently threw it forward.
Walnut and Nashida followed the paper plane and saw it fly out with a whoosh and fly to the Tiger-Eating Rock.
"Ow!"
As we got closer, the owner of a grocery store over there was hit accurately on the head by a paper plane. He let out a scream, covered his forehead and looked around angrily.
"…Great idea! Fold all the flyers into this kind of paper…and distribute them with flying chickens. This way everyone will accept my flyers!"
Watching the paper plane fly away, Walnut's eyes gradually brightened.
"Or, let me hold a paper flying chicken competition and let everyone who participate in the competition use only the flyers of the Wangsheng Hall to fold them!"
Kurumi continued to speak excitedly.
This is not the first time that Hu Tao has distributed flyers. But normally people would just throw away the flyers when they see them. But if they were folded into paper airplanes and distributed, maybe everyone would like them?
"Great, this is a great idea. As expected of the head of the Wangsheng Hall, Mr. Hu Tao is really talented."
When Liu Bai heard that Hu Tao actually thought of this promotion plan from the paper airplane she folded, he couldn't help but applaud in agreement.
"..."
"...Haha, Miss Xiaobai, you're joking. This is all thanks to your idea."
Kurumi's expression froze, and then she fought back with gritted teeth.
"Hey, it's nothing, it's just a small favor."
Liu Bai waved his hands embarrassedly.
She didn't care at all about being addressed by Walnut. Anyway, her gender was indeed marked as female on the system, and it would cost 1 billion Mora to correct it, which Liu Bai couldn't afford.
"Forget it, forget it. I'm going back to make paper airplanes. See you next time~"
Seeing that Liu Bai didn't care, Hu Tao felt like he had punched cotton. He had no choice but to wave goodbye to the two of them and then take his employees back to the Hall of Rebirth.
As for distributing flyers, let’s talk about it after I finish folding the paper airplanes.
After saying goodbye to Hu Tao, Liu Bai took Nashida towards Yujingtai.
……
"Haha, it turns out Ganyu is waiting for that young man. I've seen him quite often recently."
On Yujing Terrace, Grandma Ping was talking to Ganyu. When she learned the reason why Ganyu was waiting here, she chuckled and spoke.
In recent days, Liu Bai has passed by Yujingtai quite many times.
"So that's how it is. No wonder Master Liuyun and the others came to ask me about him before... Ah Ping, you must be careful. He is very dangerous."
Gan Yu nodded, then gave some instructions to Grandma Ping with some concern.
"Haha, don't worry about me. There's nothing to be valued about an old woman like me."
Grandma Ping responded with a chuckle.
"Well, someone seems to be coming..."
"Are you coming?"
Hearing what Grandma Ping said, Gan Yu quickly looked towards the stone stairs.
Then she saw Liu Bai walking towards them holding Nashida, and in his other hand he was holding a string of... rock sugar glazed lilies.
"..."
Grandma Ping also saw this scene. After thinking about it, she moved her body to cover it with a few glass lilies she had planted nearby.
"What beautiful flowers! Even prettier than the string of rock candy mora yesterday."
Liu Bai said this as he looked at the glass lily in his hand which was wrapped in a thin layer of rock sugar.
This string of rock sugar glazed lilies had other uses, so he asked the stall owner to wrap it with a layer of clean, transparent plastic wrap.
"You didn't pick these glazed lilies from Yujing Terrace, did you?"
Nashida confirmed with Liu Bai somewhat helplessly.
It was not surprising that she, as the god of grass, could create flowers, but she didn't think Liu Bai could do it.
"No, I summoned it from the wild."
Liu Bai immediately shook his head to deny it.
"You two, you are finally here. Miss Ningguang has been waiting for a while."
At this time, Ganyu said something to Grandma Ping and hurried over.
"Yes, please lead the way, Miss Lushui."
Liu Bai nodded and spoke to Ganyu, then handed the candied glazed lily in his hand to Nashida for safekeeping.
"Please come with me."
Although Ganyu was a little unhappy, she did not correct Liu Bai's address. She felt that the other party did it on purpose and it would be useless to correct him.
The two followed Ganyu and went to the General Affairs Department together.
Nashida held the candied glazed lilies in her hand and looked around along the way. She found that the number of artificially cultivated glazed lilies on Yujing Terrace was obviously less.
Apparently these are what Liu Bai called "summoned from the wild."
Continuing forward, there is a square on the Yujing Terrace with a huge incense burner. This is the venue for the ceremony of inviting the immortals.
Next to this venue, the huge building with a golden roof is the location of Liyue General Affairs Department.
However, Ganyu did not bring them to the General Affairs Department, but found a guide named "Bu Yun" next to the General Affairs Department. He was guarding a suspended stone platform nearby.
This hanging stone is the only way to the sky palace "Qun Yu Pavilion".
Of course, if you can fly, you don't need the hanging stone...
Ganyu explained to the guide Bu Yun that Ningguang had already instructed them about today's meeting, and then she successfully led Liu Bai and Nashida to the Hanging Stone.
There are no guardrails around the hanging stone, but it is relatively spacious. As long as you are not too afraid of heights, it is quite safe to stand in the center and don't walk around.
Just like that, the suspended stone rose into the air and floated slowly towards the direction of the Jade Pavilion in the sky.
As the most important property of Ningguang of Tianquan Star, usually only guests of noble status are qualified to enter the Qun Yu Pavilion.
Although the Fatui executive officers had a bad reputation, Ningguang would always invite them to the Jade Pavilion when receiving envoys from other countries, and would not specifically target the Fatui.
As the suspended stone rose, Liu Bai and Nashida looked up in the direction of the Jade Pavilion.
Looking from this direction, you can see that there are signs of repair on a wall in the Qun Yu Pavilion, and the scaffolding used for high-altitude operations has not been removed yet.
"Well, I heard that the wall was damaged by something. Maybe a flying monster hit it without knowing the truth."
Noticing the gazes of Liu Bai and Nashida, Ganyu also looked up, recalled the past, and explained to the two of them.
"?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Bai subconsciously raised his hand and touched his eye sockets. Fortunately, the things inside were still there.
Just like that, the suspended stone slowly stopped in front of the Qun Yu Pavilion, and Ganyu then led the two of them up to the Qun Yu Pavilion.
"Ms. Ganyu, there are two more people. Please follow me. Mistress Ningguang and Mistress Keqing have been waiting for a long time."
Bai Shi, the little secretary who was arranged by Ningguang to wait here, immediately came over and explained to them.
Ganyu nodded, looked back at Liu Bai, and then led them to follow.
The Qun Yu Pavilion is a palace in the sky, not a small pavilion, so there are naturally countless rooms inside. In addition to important office spaces, there is also a relatively safer reception room with less confidential information.
This is where Ningguang plans to meet Liu Bai.
"In addition to his information, you also need to pay attention to this Xumi girl he called Liu Xida. This is probably not her real name."
In the reception room, Ningguang, who had been waiting in advance, gave instructions to Keqing beside her.
