Ningguang looked at her exquisitely decorated Jade Pavilion. Maybe Yu Jin was also a person who loved beauty? Want to study art?
"I'm not learning from you, I'm learning from Monggot." It was obvious that Ningguang was overthinking. Yu Jin was not the kind of person who liked art at all.
"Learn from me?" Mongget was a little surprised. Could it be that Yu Jin had changed his personality?
"Yes, didn't you ask me to learn more about the ways of the world? There will be a case soon. Tell me about it and I will learn it." Yu Jin nodded. For the sake of his crumbling throne, he felt that it was time for him to work hard.
Because he felt that it was a bit unreasonable for a king to not know what his subordinates were thinking.
"Okay! Since the king said so, I will definitely perform well!" Menggete nodded, and a sense of confidence arose spontaneously.
He looked at Ningguang carefully, as if he wanted to see through her completely.
Ningguang felt the burning gaze of Mungert and shuddered. "What do you two want to do? Let me remind you, I finally made time to meet Ying, so don't mess with me."
"It's okay. Ying and I are very familiar with each other. Even if I mess up, it's okay." Yu Jin patted his chest and said indifferently.
This made Ningguang very angry, but she looked at Mongert with a burning gaze and Yujin who was leaning his head to look down, and sighed helplessly.
“You two can look around here, but don’t cause any trouble!” After making a meaningless threat, Ningguang automatically ignored Monggot and Yujin.
The sun was rising gradually from the east, and near noon, new changes finally appeared in the Qun Yu Pavilion.
The humming sound of the Floating Stone gradually became clearer. Under the Jade Pavilion, Ying and Paimeng rose up on a stone platform made of the Floating Stone.
"Eh? Tianquan... No? Why are you guys here?!" Paimon vaguely saw the figures on the Jade Pavilion from below. She originally thought that it was Tianquan waiting for them, but she didn't expect it to be Yujin and Mengget.
"You guys treat me as if I don't exist. I'm just here to join in the fun." When Yu Jin saw Ying and Paimeng coming up, he consciously gave up his seat.
And Mongert beside him also turned his head, and his scorching gaze swept over Paimon and Ying.
The two of them shuddered immediately, they felt that Mongget saw through everything.
"Well... well then." Ying nodded and wiped the sweat off her forehead. She felt that she would not be surprised to see the embers anywhere.
Embers always seemed to pop up from where she least expected them.
Just as Ying was looking around for the so-called "Tianquan Star", the door of the main hall in the distance opened and Ningguang came out with her three followers.
“Why haven’t you gone down yet?” Ningguang asked in surprise when she saw Yujin and Monggot still standing nearby.
Are these two guys so idle? They can stay outside the Qun Yu Pavilion for a whole morning without anyone paying attention to them.
"Why go down? I've been waiting for this moment! Please--" Yu Jin bent down, stretched out his hand, and made a "please" gesture.
"Ahem... ahem. I've been waiting for you for a long time. You who have returned from Jueyunjian." Upon hearing this, Ningguang forced her head to turn around and greeted Ying and Paimeng.
"Ning... Ningguang, nice to meet you. This is the gift we prepared for you. I hope you like it." Paimon also greeted him.
Yu Jin, who was standing by, looked up at Mongget. After the latter's eyes wandered over Ying, Paimeng, and Ningguang for a while, he said calmly:
"I can't tell what the deep meaning is. It should be just a simple greeting."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Hearing this, the three turned their heads and looked at Mongert, who was not to be outdone and responded with a twinkling look.
"Oh, I see." Yu Jin nodded. He didn't know when a notebook appeared in his hand, and he was writing something.
After writing, Yu Jin looked up and saw everyone in silence.
"Hmm? Why are you so distant? Let's continue chatting?" Yu Jin greeted him familiarly, as if he didn't consider himself an outsider.
"call--"
Ningguang took a few deep breaths, then smiled at Ying and said, "Ying, right? I have exchanged many letters with the acting leader of Mondstadt, and she praised you highly!"
"So, as soon as you arrived in Liyue, I spread out my spies. Finally, when we were at Wangshu Inn, I completely grasped your movements."
Ningguang crossed her arms and slowly revealed her tracking of Ying and Paimon.
"Is Philgodette, the boss of Wangshu Inn, your man?!" Paimon asked in shock.
“No.” Ningguang chuckled, then raised her head and said seriously: “The entire Wangshu Inn is ours.”
"Didn't you meet with [Yuheng] at Guizhongji before?" Ningguang told the story of Ying and Paimeng's experience a few days ago. Combined with her previous words, the aura of a mastermind came over her.
"$#%..." Paimon became incoherent. Did they have been under someone else's nose for so long?
"This is a show of goodwill. Ningguang can see Ying, but Ying cannot see Ningguang. Now she has made this clear and voluntarily given up the advantage of intelligence. This is a show of goodwill."
Monggot tapped the floor with his curse sword and continued, "It may also contain a threat. If Qixing can follow Ying once, he can follow her twice."
"If she's still involved with the Fatui, she'd better think about whether she can stop an assassination attempt during her days of relaxation."
"Oh, I see." Yu Jin was puzzled. Wasn't this really an over-interpretation? But since it was Monget's speculation, it shouldn't be too far off.
"..."
"..."
"..."
Ningguang felt for the first time what it felt like to be sweating profusely. She smiled at Ying and Paimon and said, "Just ignore what they say. Don't take it seriously."
"Okay...Okay." Ying nodded stiffly. Qixing is indeed Qixing, with so much profound meaning in just a few words.
But if there was no Mungert to interpret it, would he really be able to understand it? Ying scratched his head, thinking that he probably couldn't understand it.
"You first went in search of immortals, and then had a lot of contact with the Fatui. I'm sure you have a lot of misunderstandings about us Seven Stars." Ningguang sorted out her feelings and continued the topic.
Ying nodded. She was still in a daze.
Fleeing in a hurry, meeting the young master by chance, searching for immortals in the mountains, sending off the immortals at the ceremony, and now to the Shangqun Yu Pavilion, everything happened too fast, and people changed too fast, Ying had no time to sort out her thoughts.
"Do you know about the [Demon War]?"
"Not sure." Ying shook her head. The Demon God War happened too long ago, and many records have been lost in time.
"I remember that thing called 'Demon' here will be very dangerous after death, right?" Mongert asked the embers.
"I think so. There are things like demon remnants after the death of a demon, which are very dangerous." Yu Jin responded. He had never seen a demon die.
However, considering the dangerousness of the demon's remnants, if they are not handled properly after the demon's death, they will harm future generations.
"That's right." Mongert understood.
"What's the matter?" asked Ember.
"This sentence is a test, to test whether Ying's trip to Jueyunjian to look for the immortal is a misunderstanding."
"If she knew about the Demon God War, then she must have some idea of the harm that would happen after the Demon God's death."
"Knowing that the Rock God is still alive, you still go looking for the Immortal. This is deliberately cooperating with the Fatui to cause trouble for the Seven Stars."
"But Ying just said she didn't know," Yu Jin added.
"So Ying was misled by all this. She is not really an enemy of Qixing. There is still room for discussion between Ying and Qixing."
Mongget gave his own interpretation calmly.
"Oh, I see." Yu Jin nodded. He felt that he would never be able to learn Mungert's ability to read people's expressions in his lifetime.
Ningguang looked at Monggot, then at Yujin, and remained silent for a long time.
She couldn't hold herself any longer.
Chapter 295 It's You, Monggot
2023-11-15
"Da da da!"
The sound of high heels hitting the ground was so rapid. Yu Jin raised his head and saw Ning Guang with bulging veins. In addition to the bulging veins, she also had a creepy smile on her face.
"You don't have to tell me, I'll go by myself." Yu Jin knew that Ningguang could no longer hold on, so he decisively threw away the paper and pen in his hand and ran into the main hall with Mongget.
As for learning to understand people's minds? What the hell! If someone is stubborn, just pull out their soul and dig it out. There's no need to go through so much trouble.
With this in mind, Yu Jin quickly ran into the main hall of the Jade Pavilion. He now had a good idea to use the magnificent Jade Pavilion.
……
"Tsk! A rich woman is a rich woman!"
As soon as Yu Jin entered the main hall of the Qun Yu Pavilion, he was attracted by the magnificent decorations inside.
Bonsai, calligraphy and paintings, porcelain vases... countless exquisitely crafted and antique calligraphy and paintings are placed in the main hall of the Qun Yu Pavilion, vaguely conforming to a certain pattern.
Of course, Embers can't see this pattern.
He looked left and right, touched them, and occasionally uttered an exclamation of admiration. However, he was not praising the beauty of these things, but was expressing his admiration for Ningguang's identity as a wealthy woman.
To be honest, I haven't seen many rich ladies like Yu Jin. There are some rich men, and Sullivan should be considered a very rich man, but he was killed by Yu Jin.
As for Malika, it should have been easy for her to become a wealthy woman, but her boudoir was filled with books and she did not look like a queen at all.
It can be said that Ningguang is the most truly wealthy woman Yu Jin has ever seen.
Yu Jin looked around, trying to find a suitable place to implement his good idea. Unexpectedly, he saw Mongert carefully looking at something at a desk.
"What are you doing?" Yu Jin came closer.
Mongert raised his head, held up the journal in his hand and said, "King, I am reading this. I didn't expect that the Seven Stars have a more thorough grasp of the Fatui than I thought."
"Let me see it!" Yu Jin didn't hesitate at all and took the diary and started flipping through it.
The first thing that caught my eye was a summary that seemed to have nothing to do with the Qun Yu Pavilion:
"...The newly ordered [Liyue Local Chronicles: Welcoming the Gods] has been sent to the Qun Yu Pavilion. Please check it out, Master Ningguang..."
“What the hell? Ningguang likes Liyue’s customs and culture so much? She even sent people to collect them?” Yu Jin flipped through the log and complained.
"Please look here, King." Mungert flipped the page casually, and a few more lines of words appeared on the page.
"…Sentence three, two; sentence seven, eight; sentence eight, five; sentence four, four; sentence three, one…"
"What what what? What is this? Is it a couplet?" If the summary at the beginning confused Yu Jin, then this sentence was completely incomprehensible to him.
"Couplet? I don't know what a couplet is, but if these codes are arranged like this, it should be this sentence..."
Mungot's huge, slender fingers were unusually flexible. Every time he turned a page, he circled a word according to the code. In a short while, he had turned the entire diary.
