Without continuing the topic, Ningguang turned her gaze toward him:
"So, is this our guest from Mondstadt?"
"Does Lord Tianquan Star know me?"
He was somewhat surprised.
Although the title of transnational case handling sounds impressive, it shouldn't be to the point where someone like the Seven Stars of Liyue needs to personally intervene, right?
"Hehe, the commotion caused by the Abyss Order in Mondstadt is unprecedented in recent decades. All countries are paying close attention to this incident, especially the Abyss Order's next move."
Ningguang looked him up and down with great interest. "So, as a person who was directly involved in the incident and the head of the investigation team, Mr. Luo Mu's work is quite noteworthy."
As Ningguang said this, she turned to look at Yelan with great interest:
"Besides, this is the first time I've seen our minister willing to act with others!"
Ye Lan spoke softly:
"His credit for catching the enemy yesterday was his; I have no interest in taking credit for others."
"Huh? Is that really all there is to it?"
He looked at the two people in front of him with a somewhat subtle expression, whose conversation had drifted off course.
The relationship between these two seems to be closer than I imagined... Of course, it's also possible that I don't actually need to pay much attention to Ningguang right now.
The Divine Calculation System Girl will never be... in Liyue! : Chapter 363 We meet again, sweetheart~
The adult world is always complicated.
When others are friendly to you, say nice things to you, and flatter you, you need to think carefully about whether it's just politeness or simply their usual way of treating people.
Whether facing a beautiful woman or a handsome man, if you get carried away by a compliment and think that others are looking at you differently, you can easily be manipulated.
Or, to put it more simply, you'll be treated as a backup option...
In short, although Ningguang seemed very interested in him and said that he was highly regarded as a witness to the Mondstadt incident and the head of the investigation team, he was no longer the innocent young boy who had just arrived in Teyvat.
As a time traveler, he naturally felt close to Ningguang, a character he was familiar with in the story. However, from Ningguang's perspective, his current status was probably not enough.
Of course, given Ningguang's status and position, even if it's just polite talk, the fact that someone is willing to say such nice things to her already shows that she's a very kind person. In some more enjoyable storylines, such important figures would probably be arrogant and haughty.
Then there's the saying "Don't underestimate a young man's potential"... Okay, let's not talk about that.
However, perhaps that's precisely why we need to be more careful.
After all, whether you're a businessman or a person in power, if you're not careful in front of such a ruthless person, you might really be sold out or have your people won over by Lady Ningguang.
Ah, but if I could choose Ningguang-sama's magnanimous heart, I wouldn't necessarily reject it—
"Alright, let's set off then. We can't keep our guests waiting."
As he drifted off into his own thoughts, Yelan and Ningguang's conversation came to an end.
"Oh? Although Lady Ningguang is usually not late, she can't even keep her guests waiting. This person must be extraordinary, right?"
Ye Lan asked with keen insight, as he was also somewhat curious.
"We'll have the answer to that question when we get there; I can't say more now."
Unfortunately, Ningguang did not respond.
He got into Ningguang's car with Yelan. Yes, there were two rows of seats in the back, facing each other.
The assistant sat in the passenger seat, so Ningguang sat on one side of the back seat, while he and Yelan sat opposite her.
As for the others in his group, they followed in another car.
"What's wrong? Mr. Luo Mu's expression seems a bit strange?"
Ningguang smiled slightly and even poured them a cup of tea herself.
However, his mood was indeed a bit... strange.
"I know that security is required for Lord Tianquanxing this time, but no one told me that I needed to provide close protection?"
He glanced at Ye Lan beside him.
Ye Lan calmly sipped her tea, while Ning Guang chuckled softly.
"Hehe, that's why I said it's very rare for Ye Lan to be willing to act with others. We've had some free time along the way, so if Mr. Luo Mu is willing, could you tell me the details of your encounter with the Abyss Order yesterday?"
“I have already written the details in the report. If Lady Ningguang is interested, just take a look at the report. We still need to pay close attention to our surroundings.”
Ye Lan spoke first without changing her expression.
Luo Mu: "..."
He glanced at Ningguang, who was looking at him with an even more amused smile, and suddenly began to doubt his previous judgment.
Perhaps, Lady Ningguang is genuinely interested in me?
No, no, it's better to calm down.
He thought for a moment and then asked a question:
"Given Lord Tianquanxing's status, since he knows the Abyss Order has ulterior motives, shouldn't he arrange for some higher-level guards? After all, neither Yelan nor I are even Lv.5. Or is Lord Tianquanxing himself a very high-level expert?"
"I don't have any rank."
Holding her teacup and exhaling a breath of hot air, Ningguang said leisurely, "If we're talking about fighting, a certain Yuheng Star is quite good at it, but I'm just a Lv.4, and I only mess around casually. To keep my body in good condition and make it easier to work, I don't really need to consider combat power."
That?
Seemingly sensing his question, Ningguang looked at the teacup in her hand and said softly:
"However, while it's easy to find highly skilled individuals, trustworthy people are hard to come by. I've already made arrangements for additional security forces, but if I had to pick the most important person by my side, old friends would be the most reassuring."
"certainly--"
Ningguang looked up at him. "Since Yelan is willing to bring you along, I will trust you just the same."
Uh.
He said with a subtle expression, "You two really have a good relationship..."
"Your expression is a bit too easy to misunderstand."
Ningguang said, "This girl comes from a family of heroes in Liyue. Her ancestors had a glorious history of fighting alongside Yaksha and breaking through dangerous places. If she does anything to disgrace the family, I don't need to worry about it. Her elders will probably come and teach her a lesson first."
"Huh, is that really true?"
He turned to look at Ye Lan.
"Yes."
Yelan's reply was quite ordinary, "It's truly heartbreaking that Lady Ningguang is willing to trust me for such a reason."
"Ha, that's not what someone said when they asked me for a raise and to clean up their mess."
Again.
He had become somewhat accustomed to their bickering and started to space out.
The person in front of me was supposed to be a dignified Tianquan Star, from a heroic family in Liyue. Were they not ordinary people?
He couldn't help but recall the image of Ye Lan lifting her waist and drenching him last night, and his heart skipped a beat.
...Indeed extraordinary, Lord Yelan.
"Our destination is just ahead."
Ningguang's words brought him back to his senses.
Nothing happened.
He didn't know whether to feel regret or relief.
Serving as Lady Ningguang's personal bodyguard, and then arriving at the destination just like that, isn't that a bit too uneventful?
"You can come with me to meet the guests, but of course you have to watch your words and actions, otherwise I may not be able to protect the two of you."
"Even Lord Tianquan Star has difficulties?"
These words were spoken by Ye Lan, and of course, he was also very curious about Ning Guang's statement.
Who exactly is she meeting that even Ningguang is being so cautious about?
"You'll understand what I mean when you see it for yourselves."
Ningguang smiled. "But as I said before, watch your words and actions."
The hovercar came to a smooth stop in a magnificent, ornately decorated pavilion in the sky, and he got out of the car with Ye Lan and Ning Guang.
"Isn't that the saying?... It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early."
A somewhat familiar voice came from the other side.
No, wait, really??
Luo Mu stiffly turned his head with a series of cracking sounds, and saw that she was still wearing a gorgeous court dress, with alluring red lips...
"Your Excellency, so you've just arrived too?"
Ningguang gave a polite smile to the "lady" who was walking from the other side.
"We meet again, huh?"
Ignoring Ningguang's greeting, the woman walked right up to him, bent down with overwhelming force, and whispered in his ear:
"My sweetheart~"
He glanced at Ye Lan, who was standing beside him with a look of astonishment, and even Ning Guang, with a cold sweat dripping down his face. Only one thought popped into his mind.
This is anything but ordinary now!!
The Divine Calculation System Girl will never be... in Liyue! : Chapter 364 The Lady's... Return Gift
To be honest, he's a little panicked right now, but only a little, well, maybe not just a little, it's quite a lot, no!
You, a high-ranking executive officer of Winterborn, and a figure several generations above me, don't you have anything better to do?! How did you manage to chase us all the way from Mondstadt to Liyue?!
He really hadn't expected this development!
All I did was use your underwear as a rag... Okay, I admit that's something worth pursuing for a high-ranking executive, but you didn't have to...
"that--"
Although he cursed a lot in his mind for a moment, Luo Mu still had to face the lady who was right in front of him.
As mentioned before, the lady is not only very tall, but also has a voluptuous figure like an eight-foot lady or the Duchess from Resident Evil. The size of her breasts is so large that you can tell at a glance that she is superior to Lisa.
So when the other person leans in like that, the pressure is indeed extremely... well, substantial.
However, he dared not harbor any wicked thoughts in front of such a powerful and dangerous figure.
After all, he had three perfectly good wives at home, and he didn't want to just die like that.
So, even though cold sweat was pouring down his forehead, he still had to give the woman in front of him a forced smile and then try to find an excuse:
"What a coincidence! You're in Liyue, Executor?"
"Yes, it is quite a coincidence."
As the woman spoke, instead of leaving, she extended her index finger, painted with red and blue nail polish, and lifted his chin, looking at him with a smile.
"The executor in charge of Liyue is our youngest member. The Abyss Order has caused such a big commotion this time, I was worried that he, a young man, wouldn't be able to handle it. I happened to be nearby, so I came to take a look."
"I didn't expect there would be such an unexpected bonus!"
I……
Luo Mu's eye twitched.
I don't believe you for a second!
While I was fighting to the death with the Order of the Abyss in Mondstadt, you kept stabbing me in the back, and now you're saying you're being so kind?
Do I look stupid?!
Unfortunately, circumstances were beyond his control; even if the matter were exposed, it wouldn't change anything. He could only quickly rack his brains:
"I didn't expect you and our leader, Jean, to have the same idea. Our leader was also worried that the Abyss Order might do something big while Liyue was off guard, so she specifically asked me to come to Liyue to help."
