The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 163 Northland Bank and Executive Officers
Ye Lan climbed up to the Qun Yu Pavilion, glanced down from the deck, and easily recognized that it was the location of the port market.

I don’t know what Tian Feng is doing now, or whether he is satisfied with the courtyard... Ye Lan retracted her gaze, nodded to Bai Shi who was waiting on the side, entered the Qun Yu Pavilion Palace, and saw Ning Guang standing in front of a wooden wall covered with information.

After not seeing this Tianquan Star for many days, he is still as charming as ever, but for some reason, his beautiful back seems a little tired.

Ye Lan walked forward, looked at the wall of information, and turned to Ning Guang: "What are you thinking about?"

"Thinking about Mond."

Ningguang sighed and looked at Ye Lan with her red eyes: "Are you serious about what you said in your report? The dragon that caused a storm in Mondstadt was moved by the singing of a temporary band of Mondstadt knights, and helped them defeat the real dragon?"

Stories like this belong in children's picture books, not in serious mission summaries.

The beautiful woman with white hair and red eyes rubbed her brows, her expression full of fatigue, and said incredulously: "I still can't imagine why Mond's disaster ended in this way. Can such a mild thing really be called a disaster?"

There weren't even any victims in Mond in this "disaster"!
"That's why I speculated that it was Mondstadt's Wind God who took action and quietly changed the story before the Mondstadt people noticed." Ye Lan shook his head and was silent for a few seconds, then said, "The Wind God really dotes on his people."

Her tone was a little complicated, and it was hard to tell whether it was an expression of emotion or something else.

"The Emperor loves the people of Liyue as well."

Ningguang glanced at her, as if to emphasize something, and then changed the subject: "Did you find anything during your visit to Mingyun Town this time?"

"Yes, and it is related to the Fatui."

Ye Lan's face became serious, and while he was thinking carefully, he told the information he had obtained.

"A talisman with no taboos..."

Ningguang narrowed her eyes and said, "If I remember correctly, this talisman is a token of trust bestowed by the Emperor to mortals. Legend has it that those who hold this item can safely approach the immortal cave."

Ye Lan nodded: "Yes, although the original Hundred Taboos Talisman obtained by the Fatui has long exhausted its power, even so, it still retains some magical aura. Even if its effect is not as good as before and is extremely limited, but..."

"But the Fatui are mass-produced."

Ningguang said what Ye Lan wanted to say, her expression solemn: "As the saying goes, a pile of sand makes a tower, and a pile of wood makes a forest. No matter how weak the effect of the Fatui's imitation of the Hundred Taboos is, as long as it is still effective, it will burst out with unimaginable power when the terrifying number of people accumulates."

"The question now is what the Fatui are going to do by imitating the Hundred Taboos Talisman."

Ye Lan thought deeply. The Fatui never do meaningless things. Since they choose to imitate the Hundred Taboos Talisman, they must have a plan to use it.

You can't be trying to go to Jueyunjian to seek immortality, right?
"There is too little intelligence to make an approximate estimate, but it is impossible to make an accurate guess."

Ningguang shook her head and said, "Unfortunately, we don't know how many of the Hundred Unrestricted Talismans the Fatui have copied, and how many they have now."

"But since their factory was still running when I discovered it, it means that the number of talismans they had was far from enough. Moreover, their factory was destroyed, and I moved all the machines for replicating talismans back. Unless the Fatui have another factory, their plan is half-ruined."

Ye Lan folded her arms, her lips curled up slightly: "Next I will keep a close eye on them to see if they really have other factories. If they do, I will destroy them again."

If not, what we need to do is to stop the Fatui from rebuilding or building new factories. It would be best to wait until they are halfway through building them and throw some gunpowder bombs in, which saves both trouble and effort.

"Well, I leave it to you."

Ningguang nodded slightly, her red eyes rolling, and suddenly she thought of something. She looked at Ye Lan with a smile, her eyes moving happily: "I heard that your pretty boy is back?"

"Who told you that? Never mind." Ye Lan raised her eyebrows, then waved her hand, thought for a moment, and said, "Tian Feng is indeed back - I brought him back from Mondstadt myself. But don't misunderstand one thing, Tian Feng is not my gigolo, he is my... um, comrade-in-arms or good friend?"

Ye Lan frowned and thought, and finally thought of the right words. When she looked up, she found that Ningguang's eyes looked a little strange. She couldn't help but be startled: "What's wrong?" "Nothing, I just thought of something interesting."

Ningguang pursed her lips and smiled, looking Ye Lan up and down, with a smile in her eyes that became even more intense.

At first, they both thought Chen Tianfeng was not simple, and after careful consideration, they each invested in Chen Tianfeng as a leisurely move. But now it seems that Ye Lan has made additional investments without knowing it, and no longer regards Chen Tianfeng as a leisurely move.

Tianfeng...haha, what an intimate name.

Ningguang shook her head and stopped thinking about it. After chatting with Ye Lan about other matters, she sent Ye Lan away from the Qun Yu Pavilion.

"Bai Shi, go to Yuehai Pavilion and ask Miss Ganyu to come to Qun Yu Pavilion. Tell her that Tianquan wants to discuss something important with her."

"Yes, Lord Ningguang."

Ningguang hesitated for a few seconds, then looked at another assistant standing beside her: "Where is Yuheng now?"

Bai Wen replied, "Lord Yuheng is on leave today and seems to have gone out to do some shopping."

"Going out to buy things? That's rare. Is there anything worth her going out in person?"

Ningguang looked puzzled, but she didn't think about it and ordered, "Go to Yuheng's residence and ask Yuheng to find some free time tomorrow. I will wait for her in Qunyu Pavilion."

"Yes, Lord Ningguang."

……

at the same time,

Liyue Port, Beiguo Bank.

The Fatui who escaped from the Guiliyuan factory knelt on one knee on the ground with cold sweat on his forehead. He lowered his head, not daring to look at the expressions of the two Fatui executives above him.

"You mean, the great sage of Xumi, Azar, sent two assassins to travel thousands of miles to Liyue, accurately found our factory, and blew it up?"

The executive sitting on the right had a playful expression, but his eyes were unusually cold: "How did you come up with such a reason?"

"Sir, I'm not lying, really!"

The fools were terrified and explained: "I heard all this with my own ears. It is absolutely true!"

"Oh? Heard it with your own ears? What else did you hear?"

The blue-haired executive, wearing a half-mask that revealed his lips and jaw, leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and looked relaxed.

"I still hear...I still hear..."

But the more he said this, the more nervous the fools below became. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "That person also said that Azar has long been dissatisfied with you. If you dare to return to Xumi, then... Please forgive me, sir! The rest are all malicious words, and it is difficult for me to repeat them!"

"Hahahaha, I don't think he lied."

The executive officer on the left laughed and raised his eyebrows at his colleague beside him: "Dotore, what did you do in Xumi to make that great sage hate you so much?"
