Chapter 1068: Collusion
Bai Qiyun took the tea next to him and took a sip.
Well, not bad.
He put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at the woman in front of him.
"Miss Yelan, do you have anything to say?"
Since they had already exchanged pleasantries, Bai Qiyun was too lazy to continue doing Tai Chi.
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Ye Lan's slightly rich makeup, which made goosebumps appear on Bai Qiyun's back.
He really couldn't stand Ye Lan's smiling expression.
Moreover, he has also seen this woman without makeup. She obviously has a good foundation, but why does she have to make it so alluring and have that weird dressing style... Well, she really doesn't have any special quirks.
Bai Qiyun stared at Ye Lan's enchanting body, and after a while, he let out a long breath.
Probably not, this woman is still a virgin.
"Nothing, I just recently heard that Mr. Bai..."
"No, don't use that title, just call me by your first name."
"That's Mr. Bai. I heard that Mr. Bai has returned to Liyue, so naturally I should pay him a visit."
After a little struggle over the title, Ye Lan left Bai Qiyun a little confused.
Why did he need to visit Liyue Yelan? The two of them didn't know each other that well.
Seeing the confused look on the young man's face, Ye Lan couldn't help but smile leisurely.
This time her smile looked much more normal.
"Mr. Bai may not know something. The alchemist family that I belong to has actually been connected with the Bai family for generations. It's a bit like... an auxiliary family? Maybe Ningguang didn't tell you this, but you and I cooperated that time before.
Action itself has this reason."
As soon as these words came out, Bai Qiyun suddenly became enlightened.
He was still wondering why Ye Lan cooperated with his actions last time. It turned out that their families were involved.
Thinking of this, Bai Qiyun suddenly remembered what Shen He had told her when she first returned to Yuge, that sometimes Yelan would come here to spend the night.
This shows that Yelan and Ningguang have a very good relationship, and may even be Ningguang's people after all.
In other words... the decision to push Ye Lan to Tianshu Star probably had Ning Guang's shadow behind it.
If Ye Lan can really become Tianshu Star, then the cooperation between Bai Ye and his family will become indestructible.
Even by then, Ningguang's power in Liyue Seven Stars will be further strengthened, and his right to speak will become stronger and stronger.
And if they build a good relationship with Keqing in the future, the Bai family will even occupy a small half of the Liyue Seven Stars.
That kind of scene is shocking just thinking about it.
"Really, then it seems that we will have more areas for cooperation in the future."
As he spoke, Bai Qiyun seemed to have treated Ye Lan as the next Tianshu Star.
Even though it was still in the assessment period, he didn't think Yelan would lose to those two men.
Hearing this, Ye Lan had a smile on her lips but did not answer Bai Qiyun's words.
For her, talking to Bai Qiyun was not just a whim.
In fact, from the beginning, she did not want to participate in this Tianshu Star assessment for many reasons.
But she couldn't help but Ningguang came over to enlighten her personally.
After all, it would be nice to have the chance to change the position of Seven Stars once every ten years. It would be absolutely impossible if others didn't have any ideas about such an opportunity.
Condensing light is naturally inevitable.
Even though she doesn't need power to endorse her actions, just ensuring that the power of Seven Stars can be inherited by a suitable player is enough for her to speak out.
Under Ning Guang's suggestion, Ye Lan naturally wanted to establish a good relationship with the next speaker of the Bai family.
Although Ning Guang is now in a high position and has great authority, the next person to talk to the Bai family can only be Bai Qiyun.
Both Ning Guang and Ye Lan are very clear about this.
Yelan pondered for a moment, then looked at the young man in front of him with a smile, and his blue eyes also showed a rare hint of flattery.
"Now that Mr. Bai is here, how about you help me investigate the case at hand?"
As soon as these words came out, Bai Qiyun's heart skipped a beat.
The case Ye Lan mentioned could have anything other than the content of Tianshu Star's assessment.
He was surprised that Yelan could bring this matter to the table so openly.
But soon, he realized that his ideas were somewhat narrow-minded.
It seems that neither Tianshu nor Gan Yu said that this matter can only be done by the candidate himself.
And the position of Tianshu Star happens to be quite closely related to 'human feelings and sophistication'. In other words, from Uncle Tian's perspective, as long as the candidate can solve this problem, and as long as the means are legal, he will not restrict it.
In this way, if the candidate has the ability to pry open his mouth and get the answer directly from his mouth, it can actually be regarded as passing the assessment in disguise.
Ye Lan, who has been on the front line of intelligence work for a long time, may be the first to react among the three candidates.
After thinking about this, Bai Qiyun couldn't help but admire Ye Lan's ability from the bottom of his heart.
As expected of the person chosen by Ningguang, he figured out the essence of this assessment so quickly.
After all, at the beginning of the assessment, Uncle Tian emphasized that this was an assessment of a 'practical combat' nature.
Since this is all actual combat, it is natural and reasonable to use all available resources at hand.
"The case...you mean the assessment of Tianshu Star?"
In this case, there is no need for Bai Qiyun to be secretive.
He spread his hands out and looked like he was doing whatever he wants.
Hearing this, Ye Lan raised her eyebrows slightly, but there was not much surprise in her eyes.
"So, Mr. Bai knows what I am doing?"
"Of course, I am a bystander in this test. That woman Ningguang insisted on throwing me over to do the work."
Bai Qiyun shrugged and did not shy away from the details of this assessment.
"oh?"
Ye Lan's eyes flashed with brilliance, and they were instantly filled with smiles.
She leaned forward slightly and said with ulterior motives.
"In that case, I wonder if Mr. Bai can help the little girl?"
Hearing this, Bai Qiyun couldn't help but secretly curse in his heart.
What a 'little girl', this woman is older than him and is almost at the age where she should get married.
If Ye Lan can take up the post of Tianshu Star this time, there is no doubt that she will also be the top noble lady in Liyue in the future.
Bai Qiyun silently watched Ye Lan deliberately posing in front of his eyes, feeling a little funny in his heart.
This woman is used to doing front-line intelligence work, and she actually does this when getting along with her own people.
Bai Qiyun noticed that Ye Lan was deliberately trying to please him, but he did not directly refuse the kindness.
They brought it to your door, so why not?
"Let's talk about the content of this assessment."
