Chapter 374 I Want to Run Away, What Should I Do?
"How could that be? I am your sister. If I were to harm you, who else in this world would be kind to you?"
Ningguang touched Gu Sanqiu's head and said, "This is an official document sent to the Jade Pavilion. I suggest you pick it up, otherwise there might be problems~"
"Huh? I can copy a thousand official documents for you in a minute. If necessary, it is not a problem to inlay some gold, silver and jewels on them."
Gu Sanqiu started to act badly, rolled his eyes, and lay down on Ningguang's desk.
"Inazuma, isn't that damn place Inazuma a closed country? How come someone can still escape from there?"
"Haha, this is where it gets really interesting, isn't it?"
Ningguang picked up the document and said, "Speaking of which, the people who came here don't have much connection with the authorities. The people who went to Liyue from Inazuma this time are actually from the Naruto Grand Shrine."
"Nurogami Taisha?"
Gu Sanqiu raised his head and then continued to lie down.
"What are those guys related to theocracy doing in Liyue? Are they here to learn how the emperor governs the country on behalf of their general?"
"I'm not sure about that."
"However, under the national lockdown order, it is normal for the people of Narukami Taisha to come out. After all, the status of a shrine is very different from that of ordinary institutions."
Ningguang smiled and said, "After all, they are discussing topics such as how to exchange immortal arts and Taoism and how to obtain a better living environment for strange and bizarre creatures in today's reality. How can we refuse?"
"Of course you can refuse."
Gu Sanqiu stood up and pushed Ningguang back to her seat, then reached out and hugged her from behind, resting his chin on Ningguang's head.
"Sister, I'm already exhausted. Can you lighten my burden a little? Can't you exclude me from this kind of thing?"
"What about immortals' methods and the living environment of spirits? Even if I need to discuss this matter with someone, I don't need to go to you. It's obvious that they promised a lot of benefits and you couldn't bear to refuse. I'm right, am I?"
"Hmm~, you are worthy of being my brother. You are smart in this regard."
Ningguang patted Gu Sanqiu's arm and said, "Yes, the shrine maiden who contacted us has brought us the reward, or sincerity."
"It's a safer route, and there's also a trade expansion agreement endorsed by Narukami Taisha and the shrine's magistrate."
"Inazuma is in a state of isolation, and many of its specialties are coveted by many merchants. This business is not small even for us, so why not agree to it?"
Ningguang smiled and said, "With the trade agreement and a safer sea route, Captain Beidou should be able to feel more at ease. This is for the sake of the crew members who travel with her."
Gu Sanqiu collapsed to the ground as if he had lost all his energy.
"Is this why you sold me out, sister? It's impossible that they wanted me to cooperate as a receptionist."
"That's what the other party mentioned."
Ningguang approached and squatted, pinching Gu Sanqiu's cheeks up and down with her hands.
"The other party mentioned that when a meritorious Yin-Yang sorcerer named Korekami Harunosuke from Inazuma visited Liyue, he had a strong relationship with the Fengxiang lineage. This time, he hopes that the descendants of the Fengxiang lineage can accompany him for a while."
Finished.
Gu Sanqiu looked at Ningguang with a desperate look in his eyes: "Sister, my beautiful, kind, elegant and beautiful sister, don't you feel that there is something wrong with such a lame excuse?"
"Ah, the compliment is quite genuine, I accepted it without hesitation. As for what's wrong with it, who knows? Anyway, I don't know."
Ningguang pinched Gu Sanqiu's nose with a smile: "You have done this yourself, and you deserve to die. You have to bear the consequences even if you kneel down. Isn't this something my dear brother has long understood?"
"Then aren't you afraid that I'll be hacked to death by some strange guy for no apparent reason?"
"How could that be? If they wanted to do something to you, would they have to come to Liyue for an official visit with such fanfare? Wouldn't assassination be more convenient?"
"This is Liyue. Who dares to touch you?"
Ningguang stood up and said, "Based on this logic, the person in charge of the shrine may have his own plans and calculations, and the direction is likely to be contrary to that of the one who leads Inazuma."
Haha, this is actually true. In some ways, the pink-haired fox and the cook are not on the same page, at least not now.
After she successfully abducted Golden Retriever and overturned the definition of eternity, this dependent who was in an unconventional "rebellious period" finally returned to the right track.
But this has nothing to do with what he is facing now!
"Hasn't it always been Elder Ganyu who was in charge of this kind of thing in the past? Why does he need my cooperation this time?"
Gu Sanqiu began to look forward to the arrival of Golden Retriever. Couldn't the script of history suddenly speed up as if it had drunk fake wine mixed with the law of time? In this way, he would have a sufficient reason to run to Mond to avoid the limelight.
Although from the perspective of the promising future, the difficulty of the dungeon on the Golden Retriever's side will definitely be more outrageous, but based on the current situation, going to Mondstadt to find the Golden Retriever is at most a joke, and staying in Liyue to receive visitors from the Mingshen Grand Shrine is just a shame.
There is no need to think about how to choose!
"No."
Ningguang waved her right hand with a smile, and gems made of rock elements rose from the ground, lifted Gu Sanqiu up, and then sent him out of the main pavilion.
"Come to think of it, if we calculate the time, the guests from Narukami Taisha will be arriving around this time. How about you also go and greet them?"
"… Never mind, just go."
If the person who came was not from the Narugami Taisha Shrine but from the Tenryo Bugyo, he would definitely run to Mondstadt in a moment and take Minglei and Manye away to avoid the limelight.
After all, Tianling is full of fanatical followers of the cook woman. There is no guarantee that they have some strange and magical skills that will allow them to kill him in a moment once they realize his identity.
The pink-haired fox's visit to Liyue this time should have some superficial purpose as a cover-up, such as the trade expansion agreement between the two countries mentioned by the elder sister just now.
As for the core content, which involves the chess game of big shots, it is highly likely that he will not discuss it with him. It is still possible to find the old man in some way.
Gu Sanqiu was thrown out of the Jade Pavilion by Ningguang's rock elemental gem again. He was too lazy to even change his posture and just floated to the port with the wind. He really didn't want to move.
…
"Ah, it's the young master."
At the port, a woman with twin horns on her head and short ice-blue hair looked up at someone floating down to the ground, and couldn't help but smile.
"Well, Elder Ganyu... Sister Ganyu, I am no longer a young master. I am now the head of the Gu family. Not only am I an adult, but I also have the social status that an adult should have."
"hehe."
Gan Yu covered her mouth and chuckled: "But, for the immortals, no matter how old your family members are, they are still our juniors."
“That seems to make some sense.”
Gu Sanqiu thought about it, then nodded in agreement.
"Are people from Narukami Taisha coming over? By the way, there's no complete guest list?"
"In the past, when Inazuma was not locked up, I remember it was the Narugami-guchiji named Yae Shinko who contacted me."
Ganyu shook her head: "But the current situation is special. According to the current situation of Inazuma's isolation, it is already the limit for Narukami Taisha to send people out. It is unlikely that the chief priest will go with the team."
