The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 20 Brother, you smell so good
"Brother Chen, this information..."

"It's amazing, right? Bro, I was also shocked when I saw it for the first time!"

Chen Tianfeng smiled, his expression of emotion not pretending: "As expected of Lord Tianquan Ningguang, you know everything about the neighboring countries!"

you fart!
How come I don’t know when Ningguang got this information?

Besides, even a brainless slime would know the importance of this information! How could it be torn into pieces and thrown down as "broken snow"?

How could Ningguang, who loves Mora so much, be such a spendthrift!

Ye Lan suddenly wanted to adopt the method of the Queen of Darkness that Chen Tianfeng had made up - kidnap this guy and ask him about the secret he was hiding.

But she was sure that after being kidnapped, this guy would talk nonsense, or even deliberately give out distorted information, trying every means to make her lose more than she gains.

At least he has no ill intentions, so we can try to cooperate... Ye Lan's eyes flickered, and she smiled sincerely: "Yes, you are indeed Lord Tianquan Ningguang, it is really shocking. But this business is too big, and Brother Chen also knows that I am just a small businessman in Liyue Port. How about letting me think about it for two days?"

"I understand. It's time to think about it carefully."

Chen Tianfeng nodded and waved his hand: "Brother, take these two copies of 'Smashed Snow' first. As I said before, I trust you, brother!"

"Brother Chen is so generous!" Ye Lan cupped her hands and pretended to hesitate: "But Broken Snow is so valuable, I'd better give Brother Chen some deposit."

"Hey, aren't we getting estranged? We are brothers, so don't worry about this!"

"No, no, I still have to give it to you."

"We are brothers! We are as close as brothers! Talking about money hurts our feelings!"

Chen Tianfeng glared at him, then changed his tone, "But since Brother Lanyou has insisted, it would hurt our feelings if I didn't accept it. How about this, brother, just give me something, 300,000 Mora will do."

Ye Lan: “…”

You didn't even think about refusing, did you? Also, how did you become the "older brother"? !
Ye Lan still had a smile on her face. She resisted the urge to flip the table and beat him up. She took out a banknote and said, "Just as Brother Chen said. This is a banknote from the North Country Bank. It can be exchanged for 300,000 Mora. Brother Chen, keep it."

“Brother Lanyou is really capable of great things!”

Chen Tianfeng praised generously, took the bill swiftly, flicked it, looked at the Northland Bank logo on it, and suddenly remembered something.

The Northland Bank was opened by the Fatui of Zhidong, and Liyue, at least Ye Lan, has an unfriendly relationship with the Fatui... So is the origin of this banknote legal?
Of course, whether it is legal or not is not important; what is important is whether it works well.

Chen Tianfeng paused for a moment and smiled shyly: "Brother Lan You, I'm ashamed to say that I haven't seen much of the world. Can I exchange this note directly at the Northland Bank?"

"Of course, can I still use fake banknotes to deceive Brother Chen?" Ye Lan frowned slightly and said in a firm tone: "Just change it directly, there is no problem with the banknotes!"

At least there would be no problem if she or Ningguang's subordinates went to exchange them.

Chen Tianfeng stared into her eyes, trying to find a hint of deception in her honesty, but the sincerity in Ye Lan's eyes was as great as his, and he could not see anything.

So Chen Tianfeng nodded and decided not to go to the Northland Bank to exchange it. Instead, like Ye Lan, he would directly give the silver note as Morahua and let someone with more ability, more confidence, and greater background to cause trouble for the Northland Bank.

"I trust my brother!"

Chen Tianfeng looked solemn and raised his teacup: "Brother, go back and think about it carefully. I'll wait for you! Let's make a fortune together! I'll use tea instead of wine to toast you!"

"I should offer a toast to Brother Chen." Ye Lan also stood up with her teacup, clinked it with Chen Tianfeng's, smiled at each other, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Tsk, given our brotherly relationship, it's a little boring to use tea instead of wine."

Chen Tianfeng put down the cup, sighed, and then his eyes lit up, and he suggested: "Brother Lan You, why don't we follow the etiquette of my hometown and wish you success with a warm hug, how about that?"

Ye Lan's smile froze and almost collapsed: "Brother Chen's hometown is..."

"A place that is not well-known in Teyvat."

Chen Tianfeng spoke the truth and then pretended to be slow to realize it: "Oh, look at your memory! I am from Liyue, so I may not be used to the customs of my hometown. Hahaha, it's a good thing that I am a man. If I were a delicate girl pretending to be a man, my suggestion would be too rude."

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and as if he had an illusion, he saw the smile of "Brother Lan You" stiffen for a moment, and suddenly he felt relieved.

Very good, the gender is confirmed!

It’s Ye Lan!

Chen Tianfeng showed a simple and honest smile, scratched his hair, changed the topic aside, and did not mention the hug at all.

The test had paid off, so there was no need to go to the minefield to seek death. If Ye Lan was really pissed off, the end would probably not be pretty. He couldn't beat her yet, so he had better be cautious.

You can't just hug someone, say "Brother, you smell so good", and then die without a complete body, right?

Ye Lan was wavering in her heart. She suspected that the guy in front of her had indeed guessed or noticed something, but she also felt that he was just talking nonsense and didn't really know.

The tea was refilled twice. Ye Lan stopped chatting which was meaningless and a waste of time. She took two sheets of "Broken Snow" and a stack of semi-finished "Broken Snow" and said goodbye and left.

Chen Tianfeng saw her off enthusiastically, then holding the knife, he quickly left the inn under the cover of night and ran all the way to Zhongli Courtyard near the Wangsheng Hall, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

You know, Ye Lan is a kind-hearted character - she is indeed very beautiful. She jumped so hard today. Maybe after she leaves the inn, she will think it is more cost-effective to kidnap herself, and turn around and bring people to surround him. Then he will really have no one to turn to for help.

Although the chances are small, it's better to be careful.

Since Zhongli taught him the martial arts, it means that he has a use for him and he would not watch him being imprisoned and toyed with by Ye Lan and do nothing.

First hide beside Zhongli for two days, wait for Ye Lan to bring the news back, and Ningguang will invite him to meet, then most of the things will be done. By then, at least there will be no danger in Liyue Harbor.

Chen Tianfeng held the knife, tightened his clothes, and half curled up and half leaned in front of the courtyard door, with the Northland Bank bill in his arms.

It turns out that taking risks makes money faster. Didn’t we make money from Yuan Mu’s funeral?
You can use the remaining money to order one for yourself and still have quite a bit left over.

Chen Tianfeng exhaled a breath, raised his head slightly, his black eyes reflected the starry sky, and it was unknown what he was thinking.

After a while, he lowered his head and smiled, staring at his right hand, rubbing his fingers twice, and the disgusting illusion of cold and slippery feeling appeared again.

In the small courtyard, Zhongli, standing in the moonlight, turned slightly and looked towards the door. Helplessness appeared in his deep golden eyes.

"Ugh···"

　I haven’t signed the contract yet. Alas, I’m still too green.
