Chapter 345: Emperor Yan and Ye Lan, Ning Guang's Confrontation, Return to the Hall of Rebirth
“Knock, knock, knock, knock…” Emperor Yan knocked on the door gently a few times and waited quietly. Ningguang’s voice came from inside, “Who? The door is not locked. Please come in.”
As the door slowly opened, Ningguang saw that the person coming was Morax. Although she did not panic like Keqing when she saw the Emperor, Ningguang seemed to be very helpless towards the Rock King whom she respected.
Ningguang stood up, walked to the front of the Rock King Emperor, and said, "Emperor, didn't I tell you long ago that you don't need to knock when you come here, just walk in directly."
The Rock King shook his head. "That won't do. What if Ningguang you are dealing with something very important? If I walk in and scare you, that would be a loss. Besides, Ningguang, this is my personal habit. You don't need to persuade me."
Ningguang sighed. She couldn't argue with her own emperor in this regard. Besides, what he said seemed to make sense, although it always felt a little weird.
"Well, okay then. Then the reason why you came to my office, Emperor, if I guess correctly, is that you have some task to assign to me, or you want my body, right?"
Ningguang's teasing didn't seem to have any effect on the Rock King, and no emotion could be seen on him. The Rock King coughed lightly.
"Well, don't make such jokes. Ningguang, you know why I invited you to join this organization. Besides, we are not in a superior-subordinate relationship now, but more like friends.
I know you want to see my true appearance, and so does Keqing. Maybe one day in the future you will be able to see my true appearance, but not now."
The Rock King thought of something, and asked Ningguang, "By the way, Ningguang, how are you doing with the task I gave you before?"
Ningguang nodded. "Well, I've already chosen the person you asked me to find." Ningguang clapped her hands. "Come out, Ye Lan? This is our Rock King. I know you are very capable, but please be serious in front of the Rock King."
Ye Lan came out of a secret door. The Rock King had actually spotted her a long time ago. However, he had never pointed it out. Instead, he was full of interest in the abilities of this Beng San Ye Lan. It was definitely not because Ye Lan had a particularly good figure.
"Oh? I thought you would call me out later, Ningguang. Are you the Rock King? Interesting. I think, with your ability, you must have discovered me a long time ago, right? Of course, now I know a lot about this organization, and with my ability, I am definitely qualified for the job here."
After hearing Ye Lan's introduction and the other party's advance guess that he had discovered her, Emperor Yan Wang was very satisfied with Ye Lan's talent.
"Well, I didn't expect that you could make such an accurate judgment just after we met. I am very satisfied with you. Then, Ye Lan, congratulations on joining the [International Column] and becoming our [Tianshu Star].
I believe you already know what Tianshu Star does. With your ability, you are definitely qualified for the work of Tianshu Star. In the future, you, Ningguang, and Keqing will be colleagues. "
"Thank you, Emperor Yanwang, for trusting me. Ye Lan has fulfilled my mission and has become a qualified [Tianshu Star]." Seeing the trust that Emperor Yanwang had in her, Ye Lan accepted the appointment. Ye Lan was very grateful for the recognition from Emperor Yanwang.
Ningguang welcomed Ye Lan's joining. She believed that with Ye Lan there, the intelligence department of the International Brigade would soon attract more suitable people to join.
After explaining some things to Ningguang, Yelan and the others, Emperor Yan left in a hurry. After all, such a long time had passed, Keqing must have already set off to the Hall of the Dead. And Hu Tao and the others were almost there at this time.
The Rock King found a deserted place and teleported to a deserted place. Then, he changed back to Zhongli's appearance and walked slowly towards the Hall of Rebirth.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Hu Tao and the others returned to the Hall of Rebirth. To be continued...
