Chapter 695: The Quarrel between Xianyun and Ningguang
Just as Bai Zhu was carefully writing a pregnancy menu for Ying, the sound of light footsteps was heard.
He looked up and saw Ningguang, wearing the familiar stand-up collar and open-back cheongsam, walking into Bubulou leisurely but with a unique temperament.
Ningguang walked behind Shao Yun and his group, bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "Doctor Bai, Mr. Shao Yun, and Liuyun Immortal Family, Ningguang is here to greet you."
Ningguang's voice was gentle and pleasant, which made people feel good about it.
Bai Zhu handed the recipe guide he had just written to Ying, and then said respectfully, "Master Tianquanxing, I apologize for not being able to come and greet you in person."
Ningguang waved her hand gently, showing a kind smile, and said, "Doctor Bai, there is no need to be so polite. Ningguang just heard that Mr. Shao Yun, Miss Ying, and Miss Paimeng were visiting Liyue Port, so I came here to greet them and show my hospitality."
However, Xianyun on the side seemed a little indifferent to Ningguang's arrival.
There was a hint of contempt in his eyes, and his face showed obvious impatience and arrogance.
“Ningguang, you are so well-informed. We just arrived at Liyue Harbor and you got the news. You are like a wolf seeing meat, you are so hungry…”
Ningguang's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.
Compared to Xianyun's aggressiveness, she seemed unusually calm, and said slowly, "Family Liuyun, Ningguang is just concerned about the hero who saved Liyue, and has no other intentions."
These few seemingly casual words instantly made the atmosphere on the scene tense.
Between the man and the immortal, there is an invisible smoke of gunpowder, and an invisible war is about to break out.
Paimon's nose twitched unconsciously.
She felt she smelled the faint smell of gunpowder in the air.
"The atmosphere between Ningguang and Liuyun is so weird. Why do I feel like this isn't Bubu Lu, but the Naganohara Fireworks Shop of the Xiaogong family? The smell of fireworks is so strong."
Xianyun snorted lightly, folded his hands across his chest, and didn't look Ningguang in the eye.
"Oh? Ningguang, you don't care about the flood problem that may happen in Chenyu Valley, but you have the leisure to come to Bubulu. This is really confusing to me."
"If you don't care about the people of Liyue, I suggest you submit your resignation as soon as possible and choose a Tianquan Star that cares about Liyue."
Ningguang's eyes narrowed slightly. Her voice remained calm, but it revealed a subtle sense of majesty.
"As the saying goes, Liuyun Immortal Family specializes in different fields. I have already sent Keqing to take charge of Yilong Port. I naturally don't need to worry too much about what's going on over there."
However, when Xianyun heard Ningguang asking Keqing to guard against floods again, he immediately sarcastically said, "Yuhengxing is in charge of Yilongbu? Ningguang, you are so brave!"
"I'm afraid that child Hu Tao will be busy again."
Seeing Xianyun mention the losses caused by Keqing during the "Ba Che Rebellion" again, Ningguang raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a seemingly nonchalant smile.
However, behind this smile was an anger that almost broke her teeth.
In just a few seconds, countless ideas for how to respond flashed through Ningguang's mind.
Finally, she thought of a solution and said slowly, "Liuyun Immortal Family, this matter has already passed, why do you have to worry about it so much?"
"Besides, Mr. Shao Yun is here. If we continue to argue like this, won't it affect Ying's mood? If it has any negative impact on the fetus in her belly..."
Xianyun became more and more angry when he saw Ningguang bringing up Shao Yun, but he could not refute her. He could only say bitterly: "Well, Ningguang, you are really good at this! You have taken all the credit, you are so treacherous!"
However, although Xianyun said this, he knew in his heart that what Ningguang said made sense.
If Shao Yun is really annoyed, it will probably not be good for anyone.
Thinking of this, Xianyun's tone softened a little.
"Well, forget it. For the sake of Ying and Shao Yun, I won't bother with you anymore."
Paimeng, who was standing by, saw the entire tense conversation between Xianyun and Ningguang.
She approached Shen He curiously and asked in a low voice, "Shen He, has the relationship between Liu Yun and Ning Guang always been so tense?"
Shen He scratched his head hesitantly and answered uncertainly: "Well... probably, Master. For a period of time, she moved to Tianheng Mountain to live."
"I heard from Senior Sister Ganyu that during that time, Master seemed to have been causing trouble for the Liyue Seven Stars."
Shen He's words suddenly reminded Paimeng of something that happened more than half a year ago. He said with sudden enlightenment: "Oh! I remember that during the Lantern Festival, Miss Keqing seemed to have mentioned this to us..."
"I didn't expect that Master Liuyun would be so competitive. What a scary woman."
……
Hearing that Xianyun had given up arguing with her, Ningguang felt secretly proud, because she had obviously won this round of confrontation.
Even though we had to move out the big Buddha Shao Yun, victory is victory!
So she continued with the next deployment with satisfaction.
"By the way, Miss Ying, Mr. Shao Yun, and Miss Paimeng," Ningguang said to the three of them with a smile, "Ningguang would like to host a welcoming party for the three of you."
As soon as Ying heard the words "welcome guests", she understood that this clearly meant treating everyone to a meal.
"Eat, that's great! It happens that I haven't had breakfast yet because of the inspection."
As she spoke, Ying touched her stomach which had already been empty.
Although Ying has a poor appetite, it doesn’t mean that she really doesn’t eat!
Ningguang was secretly delighted when she saw this. This was a good opportunity to improve her favorability in front of Shao Yun.
So, she invited enthusiastically: "Then, please follow Ningguang."
……
Led by Ningguang, Shao Yun and his group slowly walked out of Bubu Lu. However, the moment Xianyun stepped out of the door, her face suddenly turned ugly.
Xianyun discovered that there wasn't even a sedan outside the door!
This gave Xianyun an opportunity to complain to Ningguang: "Ningguang, you're not trying to tell us that we have to walk to Yujing Terrace like this, are you?"
"Ying is pregnant, you are too considerate!"
Ningguang's expression froze slightly. She obviously had not expected this situation.
In fact, after learning that Shao Yun and others had arrived at Liyue Port, she rushed over and had no time to prepare sedan chairs or other things for transportation.
Faced with Xianyun's questioning, Ningguang was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
Seeing this, Xianyun was secretly pleased with himself. His attack had worked! He finally had the upper hand in the confrontation.
"Hmph, Ningguang, you are still too young!" Xianyun raised a scornful smile, "In that case, let me use my magic and let the breeze take us on our way."
After saying that, Xianyun waved his arm lightly, and a light green airflow lifted everyone up gently like a breeze.
This airflow slowly carried everyone into the air and flew towards the Qun Yu Pavilion.
Originally, Xianyun didn't want to take Ningguang with him, but then he thought, if he left her behind, wouldn't he appear narrow-minded and petty?
Doing so would actually put oneself at a disadvantage in this contest.
So, Xianyun decided to show his magnanimity and let the breeze take everyone to the Qun Yu Pavilion.
……
Inside Qunyu Pavilion.
Shao Yun and his group walked to the dining table that had been prepared in advance, sat down at their respective seats, and looked forward to the delicious food that was about to be served.
Ningguang sat upright in the main seat. Seeing that the time was almost up, she smiled and clapped her hands.
"Mr. Shao Yun, Ying, Paimeng, Shen He and the Immortal Liu Yun family have prepared some light wine and delicious food for you today. I hope it suits your appetite."
As Ningguang finished her words, the Jade Pavilion's attendants filed in one after another in a well-trained manner.
Holding the steaming hot freshly cooked food in his hands, the aroma filled the air, and Paimon's mouth was drooling at the sight.
Looking at the table full of fish and meat in front of him, Paimon's eyes lit up.
As expected, the food at Ningguang’s house is just great!
However, at this moment, Xianyun suddenly attacked Ningguang and said, "All this greasy food and fish is too greasy. Ningguang, don't you know that Ying is pregnant?"
"You're going to treat her with something like this? As expected, when a poor person suddenly becomes rich, he will only show off his wealth, but he has no idea what is the most appropriate thing to eat."
Ningguang remained calm despite Xianyun's ridicule.
She smiled and explained calmly: "Liuyun Immortal Family, you misunderstood. These delicious fish and meat are only for us to enjoy together. As for what Ying eats..."
Before Ningguang could finish her words, another group of servants came in carrying some delicious food specially prepared for Ying.
The dishes were delicate and light, obviously carefully selected and cooked, perfectly suited to Ying's current physical condition.
Such as eight-treasure porridge with red dates, white fungus and lotus seeds, steamed sea bass, stewed pear with wolfberry, etc., which are light, nutritious and suitable for pregnant women.
Ningguang looked at the delicacies that had just been placed in front of Ying, and said with a slightly smug smile, "I prepared these specially for Miss Ying. I wonder if the Immortal Family is satisfied?"
Xianyun felt embarrassed when he saw that Ningguang still had a backup plan, and could only snort coldly in a haughty manner.
"Tsk~, considering your thorough preparation, you'll pass."
Seeing Xianyun's frustrated look, Paimeng whispered to Shen He who was sitting next to him, "So, this means Ningguang is better?"
Shen He's dull brain couldn't process the scene before him.
"I'm not sure... But Master's expression right now is indeed arrogant..."
Seeing that Xianyun had nothing to say, Ningguang made an opening statement before she started eating.
"This delicacy was specially prepared by Ningguang at the request of the chefs of Liuli Pavilion and Xinyue Pavilion. It uses the best ingredients and is cooked with the best cooking skills. Please enjoy it."
Although Xianyun was humiliated, in order to save face, he made a disparaging comment: "What's so good about it..."
"This immortal's cooking machine can easily make something a hundred times better than this. Bring it to me someday and let Ningguang open your eyes."
However, Xianyun's comments lack momentum...
