After Gong Ming left, the eyes of the guests were also attracted by the sudden noise, and Ningguang took the opportunity to move to the window lattice where no one was paying attention to the banquet.

Fireworks were rising one after another on the dazzling galaxy, and the sound just now was the sound of fireworks exploding.

The travelers who were always paying attention to the surrounding movements discovered that Ningguang had escaped from the crowd, so he pulled Paimon and Zhongli closer to the direction of Tianquan Star.

The light in the golden room was dim. When everyone gathered together, Paimon could clearly see the cold expression on Ning Guang's face, which was as cold as June frost. The little mascot was so frightened that he hurriedly wiped the oil stains on the corners of his mouth with his sleeves and asked Ning Guang guiltily. The reason for light's anger.

"This matter has nothing to do with little Paimon. If you are not full, just go get some more food."

Ningguang looked at Paimeng's guilty look and waved his hands in a dumbfounded way, explaining that the reason for her anger had nothing to do with the other party's eating and drinking.

Although the distance was far away and Gong Ming kept his voice very low, with the power of divine ears, Zhongli could still clearly hear the conversation between the uncle of the Yuheng family and Ningguang.

The collapse of Qunyu Pavilion was also closely related to his retirement plan. Just as Zhongli was about to open his mouth to comfort him, a cold female voice sounded in his ears like the tapping of jade silk.

"It seems that our Lord Ningguang is in a bad mood today? Do you need me to help you solve your problems?"

What appeared in front of everyone was a tall, long-haired woman. Her clothes seemed to be in the winter style, and she had an elegant temperament. She held a few light papers and handed them to Ningguang and the others very familiarly.

"Eh? Wait! Who are you? What's the purpose of approaching Miss Ningguang!"

Paimeng flew in front of Ningguang diligently, like a bodyguard to protect her from the approaching strange woman.

After experiencing the Liyue War, Travelers and Paimon were somewhat wary of fools and strangers dressed in winter clothes. Now that this woman dressed in winter clothes was approaching Ningguang as if she were familiar with it, Paimon looked upright and awe-inspiring. Stopped the other party.

"Oh? This little fairy who can only talk is quite interesting... There are small white flying objects beside him, so this must be the traveler who defeated the whirlpool demon in the legend, right?"

"Please allow me to be rude, can you sell this little talking fairy to me?"

The woman raised a teasing smile and reached out to pinch Paimon's soft cheek. The moment her cold fingers touched Paimon's cheek, the little mascot shivered with fright and hurriedly walked behind the traveler. Drilling, asking for help in a childish voice with a cry:
"UuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuHe save me, Ying! This woman's fingers are so cold, she's even scarier than the stinky guarantee guy!"

Paimon hid behind the traveler, only daring to reveal half of his head to observe him.

Although Famas also liked to pinch her cheeks, the fire slime's hands were warm, and Paimon didn't resist the warm feeling. However, the palm of the winter woman in front of him was like the solid ice of the snow country.

Just when Paimeng was frightened, Yingmei looked at the familiar smile on the woman's face and the helpless expression on Ningguang's arms, as if she suddenly understood something, and nodded extremely understandingly: "Okay, then sell it. Fifty molara is ready."

"Hmph, Paimon is not a pet...wait! Traveler! What did you just say?"

"You, you don't really want to sell Paimon, do you?"

Emergency Food grabbed Zui Ying's arm in fear, and felt that it was not safe, so he hugged her whole body and refused to let go.

The corners of Ningguang's mouth also curved slightly, and he looked at Paimeng who was being teased by the two of them with a look of disbelief. Finally, he couldn't help but calm down his expression, and revealed the true identity of the strange woman: "Yelan, let's get down to business, you found out What’s the news?”

"Eh? This guy...is Miss Yelan?"

Paimon exclaimed, and then immediately covered his mouth with his hands, fearing that what he just said would be heard by the guests in the distance.

"With this level of disguise, will Pamon not be able to recognize me?"

The smile on Ye Lan's face did not diminish, she gently closed her sleeves to reveal the aqua blue jade bracelet on her wrist, and then handed the paper in her hand to Ning Guang again.

Paimon also understood the whole story at this time. He puffed up half of his cheeks and let go of Chu Ying's arm. When he saw the smiling expression on the other person's face, he suddenly became angry. After pinching the traveler lightly, he leaned over to Ning Ying out of curiosity. Next to Guang, read the paper handed over by Ye Lan:

"No. A, No. 25, half spinel earrings with Fontainebleau sapphire and dragon spar; No. B, No. 41, a jade medallion carved with three-color hibiscus, red phoenix and chaoyang; No. C, gilded jade and porcelain with mountain patterns. Jinzhan cup..."

Paimon unconsciously recited the words on the paper, then rubbed his chin in thought. "This looks like a manifest from an antique store...is there anything strange about it?"

Little Paimon spread his hands and innocently asked Ye Lan who handed him the paper, completely unaware of Ning Guang's gradually clenched palms and cold expression.

"It is indeed a treasure worth collecting, but this is not a list of goods in an antique store, but something that will be sold at an auction."

Ye Lan folded her arms lazily, glanced sideways at Ning Guang, who had a gloomy face, and told everyone the information she had collected:
"This dinner is just an excuse for the Yinyuan Hall to hide from others. It is actually an auction only attended by Liyue's upper class, and most of the rare antiques that will be auctioned... come from the Qunyu Pavilion that crashed a few days ago."

"Eh!?"

Paimon then turned around to observe the expression on Ningguang's face. At this time, Tianquanxing had already adjusted her expression. There was no joy or sorrow on her face. It seemed that the auction at this dinner was not her belongings.

But Yelan knew that Ningguang had probably already planned the ending for everyone in Yinyuan Hall.

"Can you find out the specific source of the goods?"

Ning Guang suppressed her anger and asked for detailed information about the items in the auction.

After the Liyue War, there were many government affairs in Yujingtai that needed to be decided by Ningguang, and the already busy Liyue Maritime Department had no time to organize the salvage of the wreckage of Qunyu Pavilion.

During this short gap, many commercial guilds affected by the war discovered hugely profitable business opportunities, and hurriedly directed merchant ships and personnel who were still able to move to the vicinity of Gu Pavilion to search for the treasures and treasures that had fallen from Qunyu Pavilion. The remains of the devil.

"Most of the items related to Qunyu Pavilion come from the joint fleet of Huishan Hall and Yinyuan Hall, and some items...the specific source cannot be found, but my informant in Shenglu Hall came into contact with a man named Ke Member of the Fools of Liment."

"Mr. Clement went to Guyun Pavilion two days ago to explore the terrain in the name of an archaeologist, and brought back a large number of antique treasures for sale, including your favorite pair of jade and porcelain gilt lamps with mountain patterns. cup."

Ye Lan's voice was calm as usual, but she glanced at the traveler and Zhong Li from time to time, as if she was fully aware of everyone's actions towards Guyun Pavilion.

"Eh? Clement? Isn't he the impostor who was driven away by Zhongli?"

Paimon recalled what happened at Guyun Pavilion, "Zhongli seemed to have reminded the bad guy that the cup he picked up was Miss Ningguang's personal belongings..."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?"

Ye Lan turned her head with a half-smile and looked at Zhongli, who was trying to reduce his presence, as if waiting for the other party's response.

"I just have an ordinary employment relationship with the Fools. It's just a matter of being entrusted by others and being loyal. Both the travelers and Paimon can prove it to me."

Zhongli's eyes were indifferent, and he defended himself calmly without any concealment in his words.

"That's a pity. According to intelligence, Mr. Clement disappeared inexplicably after he went to the top-floor office of Northland Bank yesterday."

"Maybe he offended someone he didn't dare to offend and was treated as a victim, right?"

Yelan lowered her eyes and told the information she knew, constantly observing the reactions of the travelers, Zhongli and others.

"Okay, Yelan, the information you collected should be more than this, right?"

"If it was just to auction the treasures that fell from the Jade Pavilion, there was no need for Yinyuan Hall, Huishan Hall and Shenglu Hall to take such a big risk and blatantly invite Qixing to the dinner."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little weird, Ning Guang immediately changed the subject and revealed the matter.

"You must have noticed that Keqing released the fireworks signal, and the Qianyan Army blocking the Golden House is already in place."

"If there is any other news, let me share it with you." (End of Chapter)
