Early the next morning after returning to Liyue Port, Ying and Paimeng once again came to the North Country Bank located at the highest point of the magical corridor building in Liyue Port, and successfully met the fool who had been waiting for them for a long time. Executive officers - "Young Master".
"Master!"
"The guests are coming."
"Please take a seat, both of you."
"You guys talk first, and I'll ask someone to prepare some tea and cakes?"
Nadia, the foolish guard of the Northland Bank, led Ying and Paimon to the young master's office, and after sending them in, they left without waiting for the instructions of the young executive officer who had been waiting for a long time. He went out and thoughtfully closed the office door to the three people inside.

"Is it you?"
"welcome!"
"You two, I haven't seen you for a few days. You seem to have lost a lot of weight. Why, the trip should be going well, right?"
Seeing Ying and Paimen, Mr. Foolish Man did not directly ask about the situation of the mission to find immortals. Instead, he first inquired about their situation thoughtfully.
Of course, whether it is a sincere concern or a false and habitual greeting is a matter of opinion.
"Um."
"well enough?"
Ying pursed her lips, responded casually, and looked around at the same time, seemingly absent-mindedly.
"Where's the good?"
"snort!"
"We are not good at all!"
However, at this time, Paimon complained loudly and rudely.
"Do you know?"
"The road between the clouds is difficult to walk, and there may even be no road at all. Searching for immortals will exhaust us to death!"
"There are many dangerous monsters there, as well as the terrifying Qiuqiu people. If it weren't for Ying's ability, we probably wouldn't be able to come back now."
"besides!"
"We have been running around for nearly a month, and we are exhausted. We have helped you such a big favor, aren't you going to give us a little reward?"
"Like Moura last time, if you give me another two hundred thousand, it will be so-so."
First, he complained, and then, of course, Paimon was not polite at all. He directly asked for the reward, but as for the mission, he never mentioned it.
Obviously, Paimon still doesn't know that a certain bad little girl is the kind of real rich man who can make Mona the richest man in Teyvat with just a little bit. Instead of coming here to ask for help If this foolish executive son begged, it would be better to go back to their friend who was still sleeping soundly to beg!
"award?"
"Ha ha!"
"Well……"
“Of course there’s no problem with the reward!”
"But I have to ask some questions first. If your answers satisfy me, I will definitely have someone give you some Mora support in a few days."
If it were normal, the young master would have thrown away hundreds of thousands of molas without saying a word, just like how he directly funded two people with a total of two hundred thousand molas before.
But, he doesn't have much money recently. Especially after spending tens of billions of dollars to make a deal with the Southern Cross Fleet, Beiguo Bank doesn't have much liquidity left at the moment. If someone comes in with a large amount of money at this time, If they want to withdraw money, they will have to make a fuss!
Therefore, Mora, etc., he must also save some money and work hard to ensure the normal operation of the Northland Bank until they fool everyone to transport those 'new coins' back to the Winter Kingdom and successfully transport back those 'new coins' The replaced 'old currency' mola cash will be returned and received in your account.
"strangeness!"
"Why do you have to wait a few days? Can't you give it now?"
Blinking, Paimon was a little dissatisfied with that answer.
She just wants to get the benefits quickly instead of waiting for a few days, because, according to her experience, those guys who keep saying that they will give money in a few days often only give them countless days, or even several days. If you don't pay for a month or even a year or two, if you don't pursue the request, it is no different from directly refusing to pay.
"Paimon!"
At this time, Ying quietly stretched out her hand to pull Paimon and winked at him.
On that day, the reason why Ying agreed to each other's plan and went to Jueyunjian to seek immortality was also because she wanted to prove her innocence and seek the truth. At that time, they were just getting what they needed from each other, but they didn't really want to Cooperate with fools.
Therefore, she does not want to accept money and goods from the Fools again and have a deeper relationship with the Fools, especially now that their suspicions have been cleared, and they have met Tianquan Ningguang and get along fairly well with each other. In this case, it is even more necessary to distance yourself from the 'young master' in front of you.
"Ha ha!"
"Anyway!"
"Back to business!"
"Now that you are back, there are some things I have to ask."
"How was your trip to Jueyunjian this time?"
Smiling, seeing that the traveler from another world did not want to delve into the matter of getting paid, the young master quickly laughed and asked about the situation he was concerned about.
"snort!"
Since there was no money for running errands, Paimon was of course too lazy to say anything more. Instead, he turned and flew to the side, looking annoyed and ignoring him.
"..."
As a last resort, Ying first shook her head with some laughter and tears, and then took a step forward and roughly told them the situation they encountered while searching for immortals in Jueyunjian.
Anyway, there was nothing else going on. With the help of the 'No Taboos' given by the other party, they quickly met the three True Lords of Cutting the Moon and Building Yang, True Lord of Li Shui and Laying Mountains, and True Lord of Liuyun Borrowing Wind. However, when they finally went to look for the demon-conquering sage at Wangshu Inn, they encountered some minor accidents. They searched for many days but couldn't find him, even if they wandered around with the 'No Taboo'.
Finally, after searching for three days and searching in various ways to no avail, they had to give up and returned to Liyue Port with Annie and the others.
Of course, Ying was not so thoughtful as to tell the story of how they met and returned together with Annie, Yun Jin, Mona and Xiao Keli, and were even invited to visit those jade pavilions yesterday afternoon. After all, , whether they were in Mondstadt or Liyue, they often had conflicts with fools on the way.
Moreover, she was also an honorary knight of the Mondzewind Knights, and she had a hostile relationship with the Fools. She would definitely hide things that had nothing to do with the agreed-upon mission.
As for whether the other party already knew it, it was none of her business. After all, those things had nothing to do with the mission of seeking immortals. Regardless of whether the other party asked or not, she didn't want to say too much.
"I see......"
"Tsk!"
"Although the Great Sage of Conquering Demons has not been found, it is rare to find the True Monarch of Cutting the Moon and Building the Yang, the True Monarch of Li Shui and the Mountain, and the True Monarch of Liuyun Borrowing the Wind."
"There are some names among them, but even I have never heard of them!"
After hearing what Ying said about the situation, although he knew that an immortal was missing, the young master didn't mind. He just nodded with satisfaction, saying that he was very satisfied with the tasks of Ying and Paimon. It was worth it that he had given them two gifts when they first met. He has a hundred thousand taboos and an activity capital of 200,000 Moras.
This is the traveler from another world in front of him. Otherwise, if he or the soldiers of the Fools set out to search for him in person, in just one month, let alone whether they can find it as smoothly as the two people in front of them. Well, just based on their status as fools, after meeting with those immortals, they might make some troubles!
"All right!"
"Since you two have successfully completed my instructions, in return, I have some information to provide you with!"
"Although……"
"I don't know why the wanted order was cancelled, but I'll just try to explain it, right?"
First, he stared at Ying and the still aggrieved Paimon with meaningful eyes, and then the young master slowly said something.
For example: Regarding the death of the gods, that is, the fall of the Rock King Emperor, Liyue Qixing's reaction is very intriguing. Recently, not only has the pursuit of the real murderer suddenly stopped completely (the pursuit of Annie, Ying and others has been cancelled), but also No one is allowed to pay homage to the Rock God's "Fa Shen", and the other party even hid the "Fa Shen" and so on.
In short, those situations seemed very unusual to the young master.
"About that..."
"What do you two think?"
After saying that, after looking at Ying and Paimon's reaction again, the young master asked with a half-smile.
"view?"
"No opinion!"
"Anyway, if you don't give me any money, what else can you say?"
Paimon said angrily, and his tone was still a bit broken, as if he was still a little bit worried about the other party's refusal to pay for the errands?
"..."
Ying didn't speak, just glanced at the other person's somewhat meaningful face, and then slowly shook his head.
"We have completed the mission of finding immortals that you have given us."
"if….."
"If you have nothing else to do, we will go back first."
After saying that, Ying greeted Paimon, and then planned to turn around and leave the office of Northland Bank.
"!
"
"please wait!"
However, how could the young master let Ying leave like this?
So, just as the two of them turned around, he quickly dodged and intercepted Ying arbitrarily, blocking the way for the two of them to leave.
"?!"
Seeing this, Yingxin was startled, and then of course he was secretly on guard.
Although she didn't think that the other party would do anything to her and Paimon in Liyue City, but when she thought that this was the Bank of the North, the home of the Fools, and that the other party was one of the Fools' executives, she thought that another executive had She couldn't help but feel a little nervous after attacking Wind God Wendy and succeeding.
"Ahem!"
"Don't mind, I really don't mean anything else!"
"Is such that……"
"Calculating the time, it should be around the time you set off and arrived at Jueyunjian?"
"I heard……"
"At the lake between the clouds, someone seems to have seen a battle between immortals, and there is still a huge rock gun piercing the bottom of the lake. Do you know what the reason is?"
After signaling to Ying and Paimon not to be nervous, the young master anxiously asked about another thing he wanted to know more. At the same time, he did not forget to stare at Ying and Paimon's faces with suspicious eyes. Face, staring at some details on the two people's faces, as if trying to see some clues or something.
"ah!"
"That big gun!"
"Paimon saw it too!"
"so big!"
"Like a mountain!"
After hearing the young master's question, Paimon naturally exclaimed.
"this……"
"Feel sorry!"
"When we returned from Xunxian, we did see it. We even tried to call the Moon-Cutting and Yang-Building True Lord, but..."
"For some reason, she didn't respond..."
"So, we don't know exactly why that is."
There was also a trace of confusion and helplessness on her face. Ying thought about it first and finally said with a wry smile.
That's right!
On the way back, they did indeed see the huge rock spear that stretched between the mountains of Jueyunjian like a miracle, and subconsciously believed that it was inseparable from the True Monarch of Cutting the Moon and Building the Yang, and for the first time, it was an immortal. I felt a little horrified by its power.
However, like Yun Jin and Mona at that time, she still doesn't know who did it, or why the big rock gun was inserted in the middle of the lake.
"You don't know either?"
"That one is really a pity. I thought you saw something..."
After hearing this and seeing that there was nothing wrong with the expressions on their faces, the young master couldn't help but sigh in frustration.
However, he still subconsciously believed that the matter was not simple, and it was definitely not as lighthearted as a battle between immortals or a demonstration!
Because he had sent people to investigate and even verified some historians. According to various records, especially the legends about Emperor Yanwang and Guyun Pavilion, they all agreed that:
That was probably the work of the 'dead' God of Rock, or, at least, it was inseparable from the God of Rock!
Of course, that's not absolute.
Perhaps, that is just related to the power of the Rock God, or is it for other reasons?
As a result, the situation in Liyue Port has become more and more complicated and subtle. He has not been able to figure out the key point yet. In addition, he has been distracted by something recently, so, He didn't know what to do for a while.
"Your Mightiness!"
"Do you have anything else to do?"
Seeing that the other party was thinking, Ying became even more impatient, so she asked directly.
"ah!"
"No, no more!"
He was slightly startled, and then, thinking that he was still blocking the young master at the door, he had to quickly get out of the way.
"Both of you!"
"Tea and snacks are here, please take your time?"
At this time, by coincidence, Nadia, the guard of the Northland Bank, opened the door and walked in with tea and cakes. She looked at Ying and Paimon standing in front of the door with a slightly surprised look, and then turned around. He smiled and invited.
"No!"
"Paimon!"
"let's go."
However, Ying did not want to be grateful, but directly greeted Paimon who seemed to be hesitant, then turned around and walked out first.
"!
"
"Wait for me!"
Seeing this, Paimon ignored the snacks and hurriedly followed him out.
"..."
"Sir, Nadia didn't do anything wrong just now, right?"
Seeing this, the somewhat astonished female guard thought that her arrival had disturbed or ruined the conversation, so she quickly bowed her head and told the young master who was standing aside with his arms folded and an expression on his face that looked like a smile. Sinful way.
The discipline within the Fools is very strict. If she had done something wrong just now, she would have been severely punished. When she thought of that kind of regulations, her legs could not help but tremble.
"No."
"Don't worry, Nadia, it's not your problem."
Fortunately, in the anxious and frightened eyes of the female guard, the young man did not mean to blame her. He just smiled and waved his hand casually, signaling her not to be nervous.
"interesting!"
"but……"
"never mind!"
"Don't worry, just put your things down and you can go out."
"Hold the door for me."
After saying that, he signaled Nadia to put down her things and go out. Then the young master slowly walked to the window again and glanced in the direction of the Jade Pavilion hanging high in the sky.
He knows...
According to their intelligence reports, yesterday, Tianquan Ningguang intercepted and invited the little girl Anne outside the city, as well as the 'New God' Keli from Mondstadt, and the astrologer Mona from Fontaine. Together with Yun Jin, the famous star of Liyue Port, they went to Qunyu Pavilion for a banquet.
Of course, among them, there happened to be the two travelers who just left!
And it is said that until now, except for the two people just now and Yun Jin from Yunhan Club, the two little girls and that Mona, they are still stranded in Qunyu Pavilion?
In this way, it was not difficult for him to guess that the relationship between them seemed to be very unusual!
"..."
But alas, it’s useless to know!
Because they, the fools, could not penetrate into Qunyu Pavilion. He had no idea what the relationship between those people was, nor what they said, and he did not dare to go there just now. When asking about it, you can only think about it yourself and make random guesses.
"snort!"
"The storm is getting more intense..."
"only……"
"I don't know, who will win in the end?"
After muttering to himself, the young master finally shook his head, then smiled, and then walked towards the tea and snacks that Nadia, the guard of fools, had just brought and put down, and began to sit down and sit down contentedly. Start eating.
"..."
There is a serious lack of information at the moment, and things here in Liyue are even more complicated. The situation is intertwined with various forces. The God of Rock, the Immortal, the Seven Stars of Liyue, Mondstadt, Fontaine, the Southern Cross Fleet, travelers from other worlds, and a certain A mysterious minting institution and so on. Many people and forces are mixed together. Many things are still hidden in the fog. There is even fog under the fog. Therefore, there is really not much he can do except wait and see. Apart from changing, there really is no more or better way.
But he's not in a hurry!
Because he has found a key point to break the situation, and he will start taking action tomorrow at the latest, and he believes that by then, everything will be cleared up.
