"Amber, you should also go to Liyue with us."
Jiang Ning also extended an invitation to Amber.
If you really want to count, Amber is also a quarter of Liyue blood.
Because her grandfather was from Liyue and was a mercenary commander.
Mr. An used to be very famous and famous in Liyue Port. If anyone needed mercenaries to escort him, he would be the first person to think of him.
However, the caravan he was responsible for protecting was attacked by a swarm of monsters during a certain escort mission.
In the end, he was the only one who managed to escape, and when he was dying, he was saved by the passing Knights of the West Wind.
Mr. An knew that he had no face to return to Liyue Port, so he chose to join the West Wind Knights and established a reconnaissance knight team.
Since then, he has lived anonymously in Mondstadt, married a wife and had children, and lived an ordinary life.
It wouldn't be bad if he ended his life like this.
However, four years before the main plot began, Amber's grandfather suddenly left Mondstadt without a trace and disappeared from sight.
This is one of the reasons why Jiang Ning extended an invitation to Amber.
Only by going to Liyue Port can Amber find Mr. An who left without saying goodbye.
"Eh?"
"You, do you want me to go to Liyue Port with you?"
Amber's eyes widened and she looked at Jiang Ning in disbelief.
"No, no, Mondstadt is my home. My friends and family are all here..." Amber kept shaking her head.
She had heard many people talking about Liyue and knew it was a very beautiful and wonderful country.
It might be okay if she travels to Liyue, but if she goes to settle there, Amber starts to become embarrassed.
"You don't have to rush to refuse. You can calm down and think about it carefully first." Jiang Ning said.
The tone he speaks now is very much like Ning Guang's. Every time Ning Guang negotiates with others, he always puts these words on his lips.
"We will leave Mondstadt the day after tomorrow. If you change your mind before then, you can always come to me."
After saying this, Jiang Ning did not stay any longer and turned around to leave with Shen He.
"Um, what's your name?"
Yula's voice came from behind.
"Jiang Ning, the river of rivers, the peaceful Ning."
"Jiang Ning, are you telling the truth? I mean, if I go to Liyue Port to settle down, will my life really be better than my current life?"
Youla looked a little wavering, but Jiang Ning's words clearly shook her heart.
"Of course." Jiang Ning nodded lightly.
"Although my words have no weight in Liyue Port, others do."
"who?"
"Ningguang. The current leader of Liyue's seven stars, Tianquan Star."
"She will welcome you to live in Liyue Port."
"Are you sure that's what she thinks?"
"Sure."
"Because I represent her attitude."
...
While Jiang Ning was talking to Youla, Ningguang took the secretary outside a house.
Ningguang looked at the house. The house had two floors, and there was a wine cellar made of a simple wooden house next to it. The aroma of wine could be smelled from a long distance away.
But the aroma is not particularly strong. It must be home-brewed wine, not as good as the taste of the tavern.
This kind of housing is not common in Mondstadt. It has a strong Liyue style and looks out of place with the surrounding houses.
However, this house is too mediocre and simple, and it can only be regarded as a place for poor people to stay in Liyue Port.
If Ning Guang hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would have been hard to imagine that the all-powerful mercenary leader was now living such an ordinary life.
"Hello, what can I do for you?"
At this time, the owner of the house came out of the house.
He was a bald man who looked ordinary and approachable.
His eyes were calm, and there was no sense of danger from him.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. An Wangyuan?" Ningguang looked at the man's body and asked politely.
The long years have weighed on this man, making him unable to resist and hunched slightly.
There were long and short wrinkles on his face, his figure was also fat and out of shape, and even his walking steps were erratic.
But even so, Ningguang didn't treat the man as an ordinary person.
Because there are some things that cannot be washed away even by countless years.
For example, a person's aura.
A person's body and appearance can change, but the aura of his body is not so easy to change.
Ningguang has been in business for many years and has met countless people. He can tell at a glance that this man is not simple.
Like an old lion.
Today's lion is just old, but that doesn't mean it has become dull and dull.
Once in danger, it can still squeeze terrifying power from its bones, making opponents who despise it pay a heavy price.
"An Wangyuan... I haven't heard anyone call this name for many years." The man sighed softly.
"Let me think about it carefully, it's probably not thirty but twenty years."
The man was Amber's grandfather. After the caravan was wiped out, he came to Mondstadt alone and lived an anonymous life.
Most of the time everyone called him 'Ann', and later 'Amber's grandpa', but no one knew his full name.
Now hearing the name An Wangyuan, Mr. An's thoughts were suddenly brought back to many years ago.
At that time, he was living in Mondstadt like a defeated dog...
An Wangyuan thought he had forgotten what happened before.
It wasn't until the appearance of Ningguang that he suddenly realized: there are some things that he will never forget or forget until he dies.
His ability to survive to this day was entirely due to the sacrifice of his own life by those brothers who had been through life and death.
"Come in and sit down." An Wangyuan waved to Ningguang and his secretary.
He laughed and joked: "The house is a little small, don't mind."
He could tell at a glance that Ningguang was well-spoken and elegant. Combining the two, she was not a wealthy lady, but also a powerful person.
It was indeed wronging her to let such a girl with no talent come to the house.
"Home is spiritual sustenance, no matter how big or small it is." Ningguang responded softly.
She followed An Wangyuan openly without showing any look of disdain or disgust.
Because a long time ago, she was also a child from a poor family, and she had lived in more difficult environments than this.
Crash.
An Wangyuan took out the tea cup and boiled water to make tea.
His movements were very steady, showing an inexplicable calmness.
While An Wangyuan was making tea, Ningguang's fingers gently tapped the table as a gesture of gratitude from the guests to the host.
The secretary next to him realized that he was not suitable to stand here and listen to the conversation between big shots, so he stood silently at the door and acted as a doorman.
As a qualified secretary, especially a personal secretary around Ning Guang, one must be discerning.
For a secretary, waiting at the door is a compulsory course, and she has accumulated a lot of experience.
He looked up at the sky from time to time, and occasionally looked curiously at the situation at An Wangyuan's home.
An Wangyuan planted a row of flowers next to the wine warehouse, but the flowers were just buds and had not really bloomed.
Time passed by, and the secretary didn't know what Ningguang and An Zhiyuan talked about.
All I know is that when Ning Guang came out, An Zhiyuan was in a state of despair and looked worried.
The secretary is not surprised by this situation.
He quickly followed Ning Guang and took out the umbrella he had prepared in advance.
The sun is a bit bright today, but Master Ningguang's fair skin cannot be affected.
An Wangyuan stood at the door, watching Ning Guang go away.
He looked up at the scorching sun, but he couldn't feel the heat at all. Instead, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
"You can't see these flowers growing up."
After a long time, he sighed heavily.
Amber, the child, likes flowers, but is unwilling to plant them.
In response, An Wangyuan, who loved his children, planted a row of flowers.
It's a pity that he can't wait for the day when the flowers bloom.
Ningguang's arrival broke all An Wangyuan's plans.
In fact, this cannot be blamed on Ning Guang. In the final analysis, she is just a messenger.
There are some things that An Wangyuan has to face.
He silently returned home and dug out the knight's coat of arms and sword. These are proof of his identity as a member of the Knights of the West Wind.
Now he found all the things and placed them neatly on the table.
Immediately afterwards, he put the food in the pot to keep it warm.
An Bo's child went out on a mission, and An Wangyuan didn't want his granddaughter to come back hungry.
After doing all this, he left Mondstadt silently.
...
I've been out of town for the past two days and haven't had much time to write plots, so I've slowed down my updates.
It's back today and normal updates will resume tomorrow.
Blessings are late but come!
I wish you all a happy new year and a new atmosphere!
