The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 19 True and False Snow
He made a batch of "broken snow" by himself, and took advantage of the "broken snow" in Qun Yu Pavilion to sell these fakes to businessmen who were craving for "broken snow".

Ye Lan had a strange look in her eyes. She glanced at Chen Tianfeng who looked calm, and then she remembered Qian San's report: when testing Mr. Zhongli, a young man jumped over the courtyard wall with a knife.

"Brother Chen is really short of money." She sighed, thought for a moment, and suggested, "I can lend you some."

"Hey, borrowing money and not paying it back really hurts the relationship between brothers."

Chen Tianfeng waved his hand to refuse, obviously knowing very well his ability to make money legitimately.

"..." Ye Lan was half helpless and half amused, and reminded: "Brother Chen, Master Tianquan Ningguang has been making 'Broken Snow' in the Qun Yu Pavilion for so many years. Why do you think there are not many people who imitate it like you?"

"I guess it's not because they have high business ethics and never cheat or anything like that."

Chen Tianfeng raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "Is it because of Lady Tianquan Ningguang? She is also selling 'Shattered Snow'. If we do this, we will steal her business, right?"

"It's not just a matter of stealing business. The rules of Shattered Snow were set by Lady Ningguang. If you sell fake goods, you will definitely destroy the rules she has worked hard to build for many years. This is much more hateful than stealing business."

Ye Lan was not surprised that Chen Tianfeng guessed that Ningguang was also running the "Broken Snow" business, or that there were many businessmen in Liyue Harbor who guessed this matter, but everyone was willing to abide by this rule because Ningguang could really make some people make money.

"So, if you make fake goods, you will not only offend Ningguang, but also all the merchants who profit from 'Smashed Snow'." Ye Lan narrowed her eyes and tapped the table with her fingers. "You can foresee the consequences of this, right?"

"I will no longer have a place in the business community of Liyue Harbor."

Chen Tianfeng nodded and laughed, "But what does this have to do with me? I'm not a businessman, not even from Liyue. In the worst case, I can just make a lot of money and then leave."

He took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and said, "Besides, as long as I don't do business in Liyue, even if I offend all these merchants, it won't have much impact on my life... It's mainly Tianquan Ningguang."

Tianquan Ningguang is rich and powerful.

This is not just a joke. The supreme ruler of the country of Liyue is naturally the God of Rock, the Rock Emperor. Under the Emperor, the Seven Stars of Liyue jointly rule Liyue.

In fact, the Rock King, also known as the Rock Lord by the people of Liyue, only officially appears once a year to guide the general direction of Liyue's development. Therefore, in Liyue, each of the Seven Stars is a figure with great power and vision. If you offend any of them, don't even think about having a peaceful life in Liyue.

Tianquan Ningguang would never be happy to see someone breaking the rules by selling "fake snow".

Chen Tianfeng told the second lie: "So what we are going to sell is real 'crushed snow', so that we won't break the rules."

"Is it really broken snow?" Ye Lan was puzzled.

"The seal is real, and part of the content is also real. After being broken into pieces, it becomes real 'broken snow'. We did not break the rules, we were just trying to steal business."

Chen Tianfeng pointed his index finger at the white paper with only a red seal on it and said seriously, "And the Queen of Darkness said that she can handle such a small matter."

"...Brother Chen, please stop joking now." If Ye Lan believed what Chen Tianfeng said, she would be out of her mind: "This is too risky. Unless you can let me meet the Queen of the Dark Night, I dare not participate in this big business."

"The Queen of Darkness is very busy. I don't know what identity she has changed into now. Who is she trying to deceive? It's not that easy to find her - she always takes the initiative to appear in front of others."

Chen Tianfeng spread his hands, expressing his helplessness, and then sighed: "I understand your difficulties, brother. I am not a businessman. Even if I offend Ningguang, I can just run away, but brother still needs to do business in Liyue. How about this, brother and I will cooperate secretly once, and when the cooperation ends or is exposed, brother will say to the outside world that I am a liar, how about it?"

"I, the liar, took a large amount of fake 'crushed snow' and used the [most valuable and complete 'crushed snow'] as a reward to ask you to help me sell it. I got nothing else - so you are also a victim."

"Of course, this is the official statement. The gains from 'Broken Snow' will naturally be divided equally among us brothers." Chen Tianfeng took out two damaged pieces of paper from his arms, placed them upside down on the table, and pushed them to Ye Lan: "This is the [most valuable and most complete 'Broken Snow'], but it's all real. Brother Qian can testify that he was also present when I snatched the 'Broken Snow'."

Of the two pictures of "Broken Snow", naturally only one is real. It says that a demonic disaster has occurred in the Yebo Stone Mine in Guiliyuan. A group of monsters came from nowhere, affecting the mining and transportation of the ore. Therefore, the price of Yebo Stone in Liyue Port may rise in the future.

The other one was a fake "Snow Broken" that Chen Tianfeng had tried his best to imitate. However, although it was a fake, the information was real.

Chen Tianfeng picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, his eyes slightly lowered.

Since he had promised Yuan Mu that he would take care of his mother-in-law, he had to do his best to do it. It was just a gamble and some risks, but he wouldn't lose his life.

Ye Lan picked up two pieces of "Broken Snow" and felt like laughing. The "Broken Snow" was the information that Ningguang shattered, but a considerable part of Ningguang's information came from her. What's more, the "Broken Snow" that floated into Liyue Harbor this time was scattered by her. How could she not take a look at what was written on it?
She did not open it to check immediately. Instead, she looked at Chen Tianfeng with a smile in her eyes: "The value of 'Broken Snow' lies in the information. If I read it, it would be equivalent to taking away the value of these two 'Broken Snow'... Brother Chen, are you really willing to do so?"

"Of course I am willing to give it up. I still trust the character of Brother Lan You." Chen Tianfeng put down the teacup and smiled generously: "Besides, you are willing to give it up. Only by giving can you gain!"

"Brother Chen is generous."

Ye Lan imitated Chen Tianfeng's tone of praise, then pretended to examine the book carefully and opened the "Broken Snow", but she was actually still a little careless in her heart.

Yebo Stone Mine... the price of ore has increased... It is indeed this picture, the information is true. That woman Ningguang has probably been hoarding the goods for a long time, waiting for other merchants to get the news and then sell them to them.

The demonic disaster is not a big deal. The Qianyan Army will be able to deal with it completely in three months at most.

——But this information will not appear on "Broken Snow".

The merchants may make some money, but Ningguang will only make more.

The second picture... A dragon disaster will occur in Mondstadt in the near future, and the area of ​​​​wrecking havoc will mainly be Mondstadt...

Hmm, this one is... huh?!

A dragon disaster is coming to Mondstadt?!

Ye Lan's eyes widened, and the hidden aura fluctuated briefly at this moment, then quickly subsided.

Chen Tianfeng paused in pouring tea, feeling the movement of the [Qi] in the environment, and silently deduced a lot of information.

The smell of water element. "Brother Lanyou" has the divine eye of water element.

She acts mysteriously, travels in disguise, has the eye of the water element, and has an extensive intelligence network... Except for her gender and body shape, which are still a little confusing, everything else is basically confirmed, Miss Ye Lan.

Therefore, there is a high probability that this fake "Broken Snow" will appear on Ningguang's desk.

Chen Tianfeng hid the smile in his eyes and poured tea for himself and "Lan You".

"Brother Lanyou, please. Tea tastes bad when it's cold."
