Although I've flown many times before, this is the first time I've ever been held and flown like this...
"Is there anything you're having trouble adjusting to?"
Seeing Ying's somewhat strange expression, Jiang Mu asked with concern.
"No...no..."
Feeling the warmth of Jiang Mu's large hand holding her, Ying's face turned even redder...
"There's no other way, you can't fly right now, so I had to resort to this..."
Jiang Mu said awkwardly.
Although the PV before the main story showed that Ying had the ability to fly, she is currently unable to fly because some of her abilities were taken away by Tenri.
"It's...it's okay..."
Ying shook her head and said.
"I...I don't mind..."
Suddenly, the atmosphere became both eerie and alluring...
………………
"Hello!!!"
Suddenly, Paimon's voice came from behind. The two looked back and saw Paimon flying over with his cheeks puffed out and a disgruntled expression on his face...
"You two, have you forgotten about me?!"
Paimon stood with his hands on his hips, looking displeased.
"Hey, Paimon, can't you fly?"
Ying asked with some curiosity.
"Hmph, if they could hitch a ride, who would want to fly on their own?"
Paimon said righteously.
"this……"
Jiang Mu and Ying exchanged a glance, both of them at a loss for words.
"Okay, okay..."
Jiang Mu said helplessly.
"But look at me now, I don't have any extra space left for you to hitch a ride with."
"Hmph, you can't stump clever Paimon with that!"
As he spoke, Paimon flew directly above Jiang Mu, then perched on his head, grabbed his hair, and stared ahead with an excited expression.
"Charge! Jiang Mu!"
"Yes, yes, yes..."
………………
Soon, the two of them arrived at the Qunyu Pavilion.
"Da da da da..."
Jiang Mu and the other two walked to the platform in front of the Qunyu Pavilion and stood still for a moment.
Wow, it's huge!
Looking at the magnificent, golden pavilion before him, Paimon exclaimed in surprise.
"We have been waiting for you for a long time, the one who has returned from Jueyun."
With a soft footstep, Ningguang, along with her three secretaries, walked out of the Qunyu Pavilion, stood in front of them, and smiled.
"Ah, it's Ningguang!"
Paimon exclaimed in surprise.
"Nice to meet you! We've prepared a gift for you, and we hope you like it!"
Ying took out the gift box and handed it to Ningguang.
"For me?"
Upon hearing this, Ningguang was slightly surprised, then smiled and said.
"Thank you so much. I invited you two here, but it has gone to your trouble."
As she spoke, Ningguang looked at Jiang Mu with some surprise.
“I remember I didn’t invite you…”
"I am a bodyguard, without any feelings."
Jiang Mu looked at Ning Guang indifferently, without a trace of a smile in his eyes.
"Alright, alright..." Hearing this, Ningguang waved her hand listlessly, turned around, and introduced the scenery below Qunyu Pavilion.
"This palace is suspended in the air, above all mountains, and from here you can clearly see the entire Liyue Harbor."
“From the age when I was learning to do business, I started accumulating construction funds for it. After becoming Tianquan, I invited top craftsmen to continuously expand it…”
"here we go again……"
Jiang Mu curled his lip. Ning Guang was bragging about her precious Jade Pavilion again...
"At first, it was only the size of a room, but now it can block out the real full moon in the sky above Liyue..."
"I believe that one day, its shadow will be able to cover the seven kingdoms..."
"This Lord Tianquan...is very ambitious..."
Ying murmured.
As she spoke, Ningguang looked at Ying and smiled.
"There aren't many outsiders qualified to enter the Jade Pavilion, but I often correspond with the acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, and she speaks highly of you in her letters."
"So, from the very first day you arrived in Liyue, I started laying out my spies..."
"Finally, when you headed to Wangshu Inn, we finally got hold of your movements."
"Could it be that Boss Philgoldette is one of your people?"
Paimon exclaimed in surprise.
“No,” Ningguang replied.
"call……"
Paimon breathed a sigh of relief, but Ningguang's words the next moment left her dumbfounded.
"The entire Wangshu Inn is staffed by our people."
“￥%%……￥……”
Paimon is now unable to speak.
"By the way, you've seen the Jade Balance Star among the Seven Stars before, right?"
Ningguang asked with a smile.
"Oh, is this also something you saw at the Jade Pavilion?"
Paimon asked, puzzled.
"Hehe... It's quite difficult to peek from this distance."
Ningguang smiled, and Paimon nodded shyly.
"Ke Qing said that the Seven Stars would not frame the Emperor..."
Ying looked at Ningguang and said.
"Well, you have a lot of dealings with immortals, so it's understandable that you don't trust us. We invited you here today to clear up some misunderstandings between us."
"Um……"
Ying nodded and walked to the side with Ningguang, while Jiang Mu and Paimon followed closely behind.
………………
Ningguang glanced at Jiang Mu, who had followed her, and simply smiled before speaking.
"You must have heard of... the War of the Demon Gods, right..."
"this……"
Upon hearing this, Ying frowned.
"I only vaguely remember the word, but if you ask me specifically... I don't know."
"There have been many demons and gods in the world, and there have been protracted wars..."
Ningguang's voice was melodious and resonant, telling an ancient story in a gentle and detailed way...
………………
"Then why did you hide the Immortal Ancestor's Dharma Body?"
Ying did not understand.
“That day at Yujingtai, it happened so suddenly that I was caught off guard. You were there at the time, so you must have seen it too.”
Ningguang sighed, feeling helpless.
"The Seven Stars' enemies have already lurked within Liyue Harbor. If I don't take action, I'll be at a disadvantage..."
………………
After exchanging a few more words with Ningguang, Ningguang invited them to the Qunyu Pavilion for further discussion.
………………
Wow, what a huge living room! I've never seen such a luxurious room before!
Upon entering the Qunyu Pavilion, Paimon acted as if he had never seen the world before, marveling at everything around him.
"Please make yourselves at home."
Ningguang smiled.
"Is...is it really possible?"
Paimon exclaimed in surprise.
“Of course.” Ningguang smiled slightly. “I invited you here because I consider you friends. When friends visit, the most important thing is to be happy.”
"And what about me?"
Jiang Mu pointed to his nose. If he hadn't misheard, Ningguang had just said "two," not "three," right?
"Bodyguards should act like bodyguards."
Upon hearing this, Ningguang merely glanced at him and chuckled softly.
"I invited my friend over today, and it's already a great honor that you were allowed to bring in one of your bodyguards. Don't be ungrateful..."
