Ningguang returned to the Jade Chamber with a dark expression, lost in thought as she gazed at the Jade Chamber, which she had expanded piece by piece.
For Ningguang, the Jade Chamber was not just a simple building; it was a reflection of her early life. The original Jade Chamber was only the size of a single room, and it was through Ningguang's continuous additions that it reached its current scale. She had even fantasized about the Jade Chamber's shadow covering The Seven Nations.
But now, someone actually wanted her Jade Chamber, using it as the price to reclaim the leverage they held over Yelan. This left Ningguang incredibly furious.
However, for a shrewd person of Ningguang's caliber, after the initial anger, she immediately realized that what Yuto had said earlier seemed to have a follow-up.
He seemed to have said that any condition was acceptable. What did that mean?
Ningguang gazed at the distant Guyun Stone Forest, lost in thought. Beneath Guyun Stone Forest, the God defeated by Lord Rex Lapis years ago, The Vortex Vanquisher—Osial—was suppressed.
Ningguang had long been aware of this matter, and from the intelligence she had recently gathered, the Fatui indeed had a conspiracy in this regard. Furthermore, the preliminary preparations for this conspiracy had already been completed. Since she couldn't stop it, she might as well use the Fatui's conspiracy to forge her supreme prestige as Tianquan.
However, even a weakened God suppressed for thousands of years, could human strength truly contend with it? Ningguang had a question mark in her heart.
"Ningguang, so you're here. I've been looking for you for a long time."
"How are the follow-up arrangements for the Rite of Descension?"
"How else could they be? It's a complete mess. Now rumors are flying around the city, with all sorts of talk, but most of it is directed at the Liyue Qixing, especially you, who presided over the Rite of Descension."
"Rumors spread with a single mouth, but dispelling them wears out your legs. This must be Snezhnaya's doing. It seems our relationship with Snezhnaya will have to change from now on."
"Oh, right. At the Rite of Descension, that perverted brat seemed to have forced his way out with a blonde girl and a silver-haired floating creature. They are now nowhere to be found. The Millelith has already issued a warrant. Why don't we take this opportunity to arrest him as well?"
"Your retaliation is coming too quickly, isn't it? No wonder he wasn't at ease and insisted on keeping some leverage over you to feel secure. It seems he understands you quite well. So, what do you think? Do you want to consider my previous suggestion? You're not getting any younger, and a younger man would be so delightful."
"Pah! Dream on. I'd rather not let him have the advantage over anyone. Speaking of age, aren't you the one who's more anxious? Why don't you go yourself?"
"I don't have any leverage in his hands. Besides, what I love most are Mora and my Jade Chamber. Men are just a bother; I'm not going to cause myself trouble.
Alright, let's get to business. That blonde girl and silver-haired floating creature—that combination is too obvious. They should be the Honorary Knight from Mondstadt, the hero who defeated Stormterror. Since such a person has come to Liyue, she should contribute, shouldn't she? Otherwise, I'd feel like I'm losing out."
"You, when will you change that personality of yours? Be more restrained; don't scare people away."
"It's fine. Oh, right. After they return to Liyue, have Ganyu invite them to the Jade Chamber."
