Genshin Impact, I'm Slime

The lights in the Golden House Banquet Hall are not as dazzling as those outside the building. It seems to be to highlight the privacy of this feast, but it seems a bit dim. There are several seats facing the hall above the circular hall in the house. It's empty, I don't know who it is for.

The invited guests gathered around the long table, and the light reflected from the gold cups and porcelain cups flashed alternately. They talked happily about the fresh wine and Liyue's exquisite dishes. The light through the glass windows somehow spread out. Deep red, the candle flame burns brightly, like a beating heart.

Ning Guang stepped into the banquet site and after taking a moment to look at the guests, he couldn't help but frown.

Because the composition of the guests attending this feast was extremely complex, although they were mainly partners from Yinyuan Hall, Huishan Hall, and Shenglu Hall, there were also some Xumi scholars who were closely related to Liyue, and members of the Mond Xifeng Knights. Diplomats, and commissioned officials in charge of Inazuma shipping.

Yinyuan Hall risked being dismissed by Seven Stars to organize such a grand banquet, there must be a conspiracy, but only with these guests who are well-versed in all three religions, Ningguang was unable to analyze the real purpose of Yinyuan Hall.

"Wow, there are indeed a lot of delicious food! Miss Ninglan is really rich!"

While Ning Guang was thinking secretly, little Paimon was attracted by the dazzling array of delicacies on the dining table in the hall. He excitedly pulled the traveler to the table and began to eat without any concealment, attracting frequent glances from the surrounding guests.

The traveler was busy teaching Paimeng table manners, while Zhongli brought a porcelain cup filled with tea from nowhere and was tasting it leisurely, seemingly not caring at all about the reason for the Hongmen Banquet.

Looking at the unsuspecting crowd, Ningguang shook her head helplessly. Just as she was about to give a warning, a familiar politician and wealthy businessman approached her and greeted her.

No matter where Liyue is, the Lord of the Seven Stars is the undoubted focus.

"Lord Tianquan, I really didn't expect that you would actually take time out of your busy schedule to attend the meeting."

"Miss Ningguang, your willingness to patronize me has really made this golden house shine!"

"How are you doing, Master Ningguang? I am Fan Bingwei, the [Queen of the Far Country] who has been appointed to implement the policy, and I am responsible for the shipping procurement of Inazuma..."

The crowd gathered around Tianquanxing, who was wearing butterfly purple clothes, and a formulaic smile appeared on Ningguang's face. He skillfully used social rhetoric to greet the businessmen who came forward to greet him. Although his words were full of cordiality and humility, his words were full of kindness and humility. This condescending aura of the rulers will still make people feel a sense of awe.

Although Ningguang's net worth, reputation, and social status are at the top of Liyue Port, she does not have the blessing of clan forces behind her, nor is she like Yuheng Keqing, who has ancestors who once served as the Seven Stars of Liyue, as well as countless people in the General Affairs Department. Clan members who serve in large deployments.

During the thousands of years that the Kingdom of Contract has been passed down, the aristocratic families in Liyue have long used their blood and resources to weave an intricate network of relationships. Even Tianquan Ningguang, who made a fortune from poverty and poverty, has to follow the existing rules of the game. And sophistication.

"The Ningguang Rich Lady is indeed very popular!"

While the Tianquan Planet was surrounded by wealthy businessmen and dignitaries from all over the world, Paimeng at the dining table was chewing delicious and crispy golden shrimp balls, raising his neck and couldn't help sighing.

The traveler also imitated Zhongli beside him, picked up his teacup, and watched Ningguang socializing with the guests with a calm demeanor.

As expected of the Tianquan Star, which ranks first among the seven stars, this skill of being all-round and versatile is really not something that ordinary people can master casually.

"Miss Ningguang! You are indeed here too, hahaha, I thought that little girl Ning Lan was joking!"

"I present this glass of wine to you, and you must give me this face."

Following the sound came a Liyue man with a rosy complexion and a bloated body who looked to be about 50 years old.

The guests surrounding Ningguang seemed to be in awe of the middle-aged man who spoke out, and they dispersed to make way for a passage. After Ningguang saw the other party's face and the family crest on his waist, he lowered his eyes in greeting without leaving a trace. .

"It turns out that Uncle Gongming also attended this banquet. Is the family business still stable?" The middle-aged man, whom Ningguang calls Gongming, wears a luxurious robe to cover his gradually bulging beer belly. Although he is middle-aged, But his hair is still very thick, and it can be seen that he has taken good care of it, and he is one of the elders of the family of "Yuhengxing" Keqing. He has the titles of presidents of many chambers of commerce in his name, and he can be said to be the mainstay of the family's influence. figure.

Gong Ming seemed to have drank a lot of wine before, but he was still sane and articulate, but he was a little emotional.
Ning Guang calmly observed the dilation of the opponent's pupils and made a secret judgment.

"Thanks to you, I'm much better now. You know, there are many people in the family who covet my position."

"During the period when my business was sluggish, I could see ghosts and ghosts with my eyes open and closed during the day and night. I was so scared that I lost my mind and was terrified. I thought that a dead person was really coming to seek revenge on me... Oh, I can't bear to look back on the past."

"If it hadn't been for your help at that time, and if it had been delayed for a few more days, those bastards would have removed me from all my positions in the family and put me under house arrest in the barren forest of Qingce Village."

Gong Ming sighed, shook his head, and sighed with sincerity: "Although you also took away part of the family's business, no matter what, you saved my life. If you hadn't seen it with your discernment, There is something wrong with that loan contract, I never imagined that my secretary who has been with me for more than [-] years would actually want to kill me."

Speaking of sadness, Gongming clinked the wine glass in his hand with the tea cup in Ningguang's hand. He didn't care whether Ningguang drank or not, and drank the wine in one bold gulp.

"Uncle Gongming, you are really overestimating me. This is just a small effort."

Ning Guang heard the vague accusation in the other party's words, but she didn't take it at all. She put the tea cup on the table and replied slowly: "After all, time is money. With your situation at the time, if you delay it again, In a few days, I may really have to rest in the villa for the rest of my life."

"Hmph." Gong Ming snorted coldly and squeezed the wine cup in his hand to make a rattling sound. "So, I made everyone involved in this matter pay the price."

Ning Guang did not answer. She knew that the seemingly honest and kind-hearted uncle in front of her used extremely cruel methods to deal with all the traitors in the family after the business war. This even affected several innocent Liyue Chamber of Commerce, directly Causing the other party to become bankrupt and liquidated.

If Keqing had not been favored by him and asked Ningguang to help many times, she would not have intervened in this kind of internal fight in the family that was harmful to no one.

"Hey, let's not talk about these spoilers."

"Miss Ningguang, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. I will fully support you in this auction today."

Gong Ming patted his forehead, waved away the onlookers, and lowered his voice at the same time: "I know Huishan Hall is unkind in doing this. You are the hero who smashed the Qunyu Pavilion and saved the entire Liyue, and you are also Liyue's hero. Lord Tianquan..."

"They took advantage of the situation and blatantly auctioned off your personal belongings. They are really...unbecoming of a human being!"

Gong Ming's words were quite cryptic, which made Ning Guang confused.

When did this banquet hosted by Silver Plains Hall turn into an auction, and what does it mean to auction her personal belongings?
However, this doubt only lasted for a moment. Ning Guang raised his head and looked at the setting of the venue and the arrangement of seats. Combined with Gong Ming's words, he had a vague premonition in his heart, and his face gradually became ugly.

As we all know, when Qunyu Pavilion fell, countless treasures collected on it also fell into the sea. Although Ningguang organized personnel to salvage them afterwards, many things were still lost.

A considerable part of them may have flowed back to Liyue Port in some shady way, and then appeared in the hands of some private collectors.

And this so-called auction...

Ning Guang's face was as cold as ice at this moment. At this moment, a strange uproar suddenly came from the other side of the venue. Gong Ming's expression also changed slightly, and he hurriedly said goodbye to Ning Guang and walked towards the place where the noise came from. (End of chapter)
