The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 18 Such a Queen of the Night
night,

Chen Tianfeng sat cross-legged on the hard bed in the inn room, with a long sword placed across his legs and his eyes closed. He paid attention to the progress of the nameless martial arts while sensing the changes in the external situation.

At a certain moment, Chen Tianfeng opened his eyes and looked towards the door with flickering eyes.

He actually came... So "Brother Lanyou" is really Ye Lan, the Night Queen of Liyue Harbor?

How did she disguise herself? I remember Ye Lan shouldn't be so ordinary... It's better to confirm it again... Chen Tianfeng pondered and said with a smile: "Is it Brother Lan You who has arrived? Just come in, the door is not locked."

With a "creaky" sound, the wooden door was pushed open and Ye Lan, disguised as "Lan You", pushed the door open and walked in.

"Brother Chen, you really made me have a hard time finding you. Why don't you use your real name to stay at the hotel?"

Ye Lan closed the door and looked at Chen Tianfeng, about to chat about something else, but suddenly her eyes froze: "Brother Chen seems to have encountered a great opportunity these two days."

If Chen Tianfeng gave her the feeling of being an ordinary, strong man when they parted last time, then this time Chen Tianfeng gave her the feeling of being much stronger... How did he do it?
Ye Lan looked at him calmly, trying to find any trace of the Eye of God.

However, nothing was achieved.

"Brother Lan You figured it out?"

Chen Tianfeng put down the knife, came to the table, turned over two cups, rinsed them, poured tea, and took a sip in front of Ye Lan: "To be honest, brother, I met a great man these two days, and also saw Lord Tianquan's 'Smashed Snow', it was really spectacular!"

"Big shot?" Ye Lan raised an eyebrow. "Can you tell me more?"

"There's nothing we can't talk about between brothers!"

Chen Tianfeng patted Ye Lan's shoulder generously, with a strange look in his eyes.

The touch of this shoulder was indeed like that of a man. Could he have guessed wrong? Or was it that Brother Lan You was not Ye Lan, but Ye Lan's subordinate?
He took his hand back and said with a smile, "Brother, you have been doing business in Liyue Harbor for many years. You should have heard about the [Queen of Darkness] in Liyue Harbor, right?"

"Queen of the Dark Night?" Ye Lan was stunned for a moment, blinked, and a strange premonition inexplicably arose in her heart.

"Yes, the Queen of the Night."

Chen Tianfeng looked around, as if he was talking about some great secret, and even lowered his voice deliberately: "Brother, you also know that the work of Liyue General Affairs Department is open and transparent. From the high-ranking officials of Yujingtai to the grassroots employees of the Eight Gates, basic information is left in the government affairs directory."

"But the Queen of Darkness is an exception. Most of my colleagues have never heard of her name, and she is not listed in the directory. She is so elusive and unpredictable!"

"Brother, although I have not been in Liyue Harbor for a long time, I have heard something!"

Chen Tianfeng looked confident, staring into Ye Lan's eyes, and exclaimed: "It is said that this [Queen of Dark Night] can even influence the decision of Lord Tianquan Ningguang. Her background is so powerful!"

Ye Lan: “...It’s incredible!”

Ye Lan's expression almost couldn't hold back, and she quickly picked up the teacup to drink tea to cover it up, then put the cup down and frowned slightly: "Brother Chen's chance is to meet this [Queen of the Dark Night]?"

Damn it, why does this [Queen of the Night] sound like it's talking about her? But how come she doesn't know that she has such a shameful title?

"That's right! And it was not long after we parted ways. You left really early."

Chen Tianfeng looked regretful, without a trace of falsehood: "Otherwise, we brothers would have shared wealth. But it doesn't matter, I thought of you immediately when something good happened!"

"Brother Chen is so righteous!" Ye Lan was also touched, and immediately asked curiously: "Brother Chen, how did you meet this Queen of the Dark Night? Can you tell me about it?"

"Well, it's fate." Chen Tianfeng's eyes flashed with reminiscence, and he began to make up a story on the spot: "The Queen of Dark Night often acts under a false name or identity. When I met her, she was pretending to be a poor woman, selling herself to bury the Silver Wolf."

How could such a thing happen in Liyue! And what the hell is selling oneself to bury the silver wolf?

"I felt sorry for her, so I gave her most of my Mora. I didn't expect anything in return, but who would have thought that she was actually the Night Queen of Liyue Harbor!"

You are kindhearted, but this plot is too ridiculous, isn't it? "It really gave me a scare! What's even more unexpected is that the Queen of Darkness said that she hadn't seen someone as simple and kind as me for many years, so she asked me if I was willing to do something for her, and she would give me a reward."

So you believed it? What kind of fairy tale is this?

"Of course I don't believe it, but this queen is also a person of temperament. Seeing that I don't agree, she actually plans to kidnap me directly! What's the point of calling me a husband!"

"But brother, how could I be that kind of person? He immediately said that he would rather die than surrender, even if he got my body, he couldn't get me! The queen had no choice but to pass on a hundred years of skills to me, and told me a secret, telling me to use this secret to make money, and she would take the responsibility if anything went wrong."

You are such a bullshit!!!

Ye Lan's eyes twitched, and she had the urge to pick up the table and smash the bastard to death. She also suspected that the bastard had guessed her identity, so he deliberately said these words to deceive her.

Ye Lan's mind turned, and she glanced at Chen Tianfeng's eyes very naturally, smiling sincerely: "Brother Chen is indeed a man of great luck! He has encountered such a good thing when he first came to Liyue Harbor... By the way, did the Queen of the Dark Night tell you her name?"

"No, she just left a pseudonym that is obviously not Liyue's name." Chen Tianfeng shook his head and said, "Kafka, she said her name is Kafka."

Kafka...Yelan silently repeated the name in her heart, planning to go back and investigate to see if there really is such a "Queen of the Dark Night" or if this bastard in front of her is just talking nonsense - most likely the latter.

If one out of ten words that come out of this guy's mouth is really something, it would be a great achievement.

All those lies about centuries of skills and the secret of making money are so false that they cannot be more false.

Chen Tianfeng's expression was calm, and he didn't seem guilty at all. If lying had different levels, then Chen Tianfeng must be a master.

Even with all this nonsense, Brother Lanyou didn't show any abnormality. Could it be that he really wasn't Ye Lan, and had no relationship with Ye Lan? If this was true, wouldn't it mean that any random merchant in Liyue had such a well-informed information network?

Liyue is too dangerous... We need to test it out again...

Chen Tianfeng suddenly felt that things were a little difficult to do. He took a deep breath, looked at Ye Lan, and said with a smile, "Let's not talk about this anymore, Brother Lan You. Time is running out. Let's talk about the big business first?"

"Brother Chen, please speak." Ye Lan straightened his expression and waited seriously.

"Last night, Lady Ningguang spread 'broken snow' in the Jade Pavilion. Did you know about this, brother?"

"know."

Ye Lan nodded, thinking that some of the 'broken snow' was scattered by her own hands.

"Most of the 'Shattered Snow' fell outside of Liyue Harbor. Many adventurers went looking for it, while many merchants in Liyue Harbor were eagerly waiting, rubbing their hands, and planning to buy the 'Shattered Snow' at a high price."

Chen Tianfeng's eyes flickered, and he grinned, "Brother Lan You, this is our chance!"

"Appreciate further details."

Ye Lan didn't understand what opportunity Chen Tianfeng was talking about. Could it be that he wanted to buy Broken Snow at a low price and then sell it at a high price?
But adventurers and merchants are not fools.

"Brother Lanyou, look at what this is."

Chen Tianfeng took a thick stack of white paper from the table beside him and handed it to Ye Lan mysteriously.

Ye Lan took the white papers and was surprised to find that there was a familiar red seal in the lower right corner of each of them - the exclusive seal of Ningguang from Qun Yu Pavilion.

"We can take advantage of the time difference and make some 'crushed snow' to sell!"

Chen Tianfeng's voice rang out, Ye Lan looked up at him, then lowered her head to look at the white paper with the seal on it, her eyes gradually becoming strange.

The seal was of course fake, probably a copy of a radish seal. But unless one had extremely good eyesight, it would be difficult to tell whether the seal was real or fake.

This boy is really talented...
