Chapter 434 Rice Wife’s Clay Sculpture(1/2)
"Forget it, we'll talk about the immortals later."
Ningguang didn't intend to fight with the immortal on this matter.
For her, rectifying Liyue Port is the top priority now.
Especially the two tasks of appeasing the residents and rebuilding Liyue Port made her extremely anxious.
But fortunately, she is now working in Tingyuge, so she has a lot less worries.
The old man came back last night. In addition to a few greetings with his two granddaughters who had not seen each other for a year, he also decided that Tingyu Pavilion would continue to close.
After all, Liyue Port will definitely not be peaceful these days. At the very least, there will be a lot of construction work, so it is better to take a rest.
Of course, the most important thing is that the Evergreen Banquet consumed most of the old man's energy, and he felt that it would be good for him to take advantage of this time to recuperate.
So now Tingyuge has become Ningguang's temporary office. It's not open anyway, so it doesn't matter if she uses it.
However, unlike a few people who started to deal with business, Mona and Paimon were still immersed in the shock of eight billion Mora.
In fact, they both thought too much. Using family wealth was not a simple matter. If it were that simple, Bai Qiyun wouldn't have to secretly take away his pocket money when he went to Mondstadt.
How can we be reduced to making money selling cakes in Mondstadt?
Liyue Port was severely affected by the disaster this time. Not only was Ningguang's Qunyu Pavilion severely damaged, but even Beidou's Death Star docked at the port was affected.
Fortunately, it's nothing serious, just some parts fell off and can be repaired.
It's just that with the damage to Liyue Port now, it's impossible to travel again after the Hailantern Festival as planned. We have to wait until Keqing sends people to repair the port again.
All in all, Beidou is now the most leisurely person in Tingyu Pavilion, even Paimon is busier than her.
Except for Shen He who fell on the bed and slept for a long time due to excessive consumption, Tingyuge is now back to what it was half a month ago, with everyone doing their own thing.
Although this Lantern Festival was not perfect, it was truly impressive.
The current turmoil in Liyue Seven Stars claimed to be caused by monsters attacking the city, and no news about the immortals was revealed.
This is also reasonable. After all, if the fact that the Immortal attacked Liyue Port is made known to the world, the turmoil that will be caused after that will be much greater than it is now.
But the price is that Qixing must bear the responsibility of "unfavorable city defense", especially Ningguang, who has military power in his hands.
Bai Qiyun saw through all these at a glance, after all, they were all matters on the surface.
In addition to wiping out his own behavior, spending 8 billion was also considered to help Ningguang get out of trouble.
Eight billion moras in cash is enough to shut up those old guys and save them money on repairs.
After all, they also knew that Ningguang's guilt was just unfounded.
"Forget it, I'll go clean up the outside."
After leaving the living room to Lord Tianquan for his office, Bai Qiyun took Mona and Ying, who wanted to escape and fish, to the outside of Tingyu Pavilion.
The red cloth and satin fluttered back and forth on the roof, and the sky lantern didn't have time to be taken off.
The Lantern Festival has passed, and according to tradition, these decorations must be taken down.
"So why do you have to do it for me?"
The astrologer complained while manipulating the elemental power in his hand to reach the red cloth high in the sky and tear it off one by one.
After the battle with the Immortal, Mona's strength seems to have improved significantly. She already has a captain-level shell. She only needs to fill in the content to take herself to the next level.
But when Shen He told her what happened that day last night, Mona showed a rare look of embarrassment on her face.
Although she came out under the old woman's order, she herself never thought that her master would leave such a strong backhand in her body.
In fact, when she woke up, she vaguely felt that the power of the stars surrounding her was too strong, as if something exploded beside her, with a hint of astrology in it.
"Tch, nosy old woman."
Mona was mumbling as she removed the decorations on the roof.
But the slightly raised corners of her mouth betrayed her thoughts.
Just as a group of people were cleaning up Tingyu Pavilion, an uninvited guest appeared in Liyue Port.
It was a young man covered in a windbreaker, walking on a street full of people, holding what looked like a communication device to his ear.
"Well, President, it doesn't look like there's anything big going on in Liyue Port."
He lowered his voice, as if he was talking to the person on the other side of the communicator.
A female voice came from the other side, making his head lower a little.
"okay, I get it."
After a while, the young man hung up the communicator and raised his head to look at the Liyue Port in front of him, which had just experienced trauma.
After receiving orders from his superiors, he had already come to Liyue Port to lurk. As expected, a riot broke out here just yesterday.
The president is really good at predicting things.
The order he received was, 'If Liyue Port suffers an impact beyond its endurance limit, we are allowed to take action.'
In fact, it was just to ask him to help prevent the situation from getting out of control. But fortunately, the people of Liyue Port withstood the impact yesterday, so naturally there was no need for him to intervene.
But as a member of the 'Relief Society', he knew exactly who was behind it this time.
After all, he was very familiar with the scent of those rats.

"Minister, the plan failed."
Under the rocky abyss, a little minion crouched in front of his boss.
Last night, their attempt to control the immortals to cause unrest in Liyue Port ended in failure. Not only did they not cause many casualties, but not many houses were destroyed, which was far from the result they expected.
But unlike his subordinates who were agitated, the man known as the minister didn't have any look of loss on his face.
He gently touched the inheritance in front of him, and the huge power contained in it had long since dissipated.
This trip to Liyue did not achieve the results we imagined, but it was not completely fruitless.
At least he figured out Liyue's current background, and also replenished the increasingly scarce demonic power in the world.
Moreover, with the help of the inheritance, Liyue's terrestrial veins were opened up. These achievements are all real.
Now Liyue does not have the Rock God, and its ability to predict risks has dropped by several levels.
Although the immortals still retain a certain amount of force, they are just a group of reckless men.
Compared with these people, he is more worried about those bastards from the Relief Society.
Although the other party hid it well, this time he still noticed the clues of the other party's actions from Liyue Port.
This is normal. After all, the 'Spirit Demon Society' and the 'Relief Society' are mortal enemies. The two are like the two poles of a magnet, constantly attracting each other.
But what concerned him more was the sudden silver light that night.
That kind of power shouldn't be available in this world. Could it be that the president of the relief society took action?
After the storm, the originally clear situation in Liyue was now covered with a thick layer of haze in his eyes.
————
"Five meters further to the left."
At the port, Keqing's subordinates were directing the workers to step up repairs to the port.
Keqing had previously taken over the task of delivering sea lantern festival gifts to the immortals, but she has not returned yet.
However, the construction of the port could not be delayed. At Ningguang's signal, the subordinates who originally belonged to Keqing stood up and took up the task.
On the steps nearby, a girl with peach blossom eyes leaned on her cheeks and looked at the busy people in front of her, with boredom written all over her face.
I finally had a Hai Deng Festival to play with, but someone ruined it. It was really boring.
"Why are you sighing? Is it because there are no customers due to this disaster?"
Bai Qiyun who was passing by saw Hu Tao sighing at the side and couldn't help but take the initiative to strike up a conversation.
Hutao's reputation has long been spread in Liyue Port, and most people don't have the guts to take the initiative to get involved.
Hearing this, Hu Tao glanced at the young man who made the sarcastic remarks, and opened her pink lips slightly.
"Please, I'm not that crazy yet, but what are you doing here? Are you here to work?"
"Me? I just came here to send money."
Bai Qiyun shook the bag in his hand, which contained bank notes, which were used to pay workers' wages and purchase expenses.
"Well, it seems that the Bai family has taken the responsibility for this loss. They are really responsible."
On the side, an unexpected figure appeared behind Hu Tao, making the young man slightly stunned.
"What's wrong? Little brother Bai."
Facing Bai Qiyun's surprised gaze, Zhongli focused his gaze on the young man's face.
The man quietly scanned the young man's body, and there was an aura from it that he was quite concerned about. It seemed that a lot of things happened during his absence in Liyue Port.
"Ah, Mr. Zhongli, you are back."
