Looking up at night, the brightly lit Qun Yu Pavilion looks like a silver moon, overlooking all living beings from afar.
The Traveler can indeed help Liyue, but she is ultimately just an outsider.
If she wants to get through this crisis, she can't rely solely on outsiders.
She must let the people of Liyue, the hermit immortals, and those with bad intentions know that even though the Emperor is no longer here, she can still protect this city.
"By the way, I came here to tell you something else."
As if remembering something, Ye Lan looked in the direction of Jue Yunjian and spoke.
And judging from her increasingly solemn expression, this was definitely not good news.
"The immortals are here to punish us, right?"
Being helpless against Bai Luo doesn't mean she is stupid.
Ever since the Emperor was assassinated, she has been combining all the intelligence at hand to deduce all possible situations that might arise in Liyue City.
Hiding the Immortal Ancestor's Dharma Sheath is also to deal with these possible situations.
Everything developed just as she expected.
Apart from the remnants of the vortex that suddenly appeared and the Fatui who inexplicably became honest, everything else was basically under her control.
In other words... the appearance of the remnants of the Whirlpool was also within her consideration, she just didn't expect that these people would be so eccentric.
"According to the Traveler, it's only a matter of time before they arrive in Liyue. Do you want me to help? As long as I tell them about the instructor, I'm sure they will understand."
Ye Lan has a lot of information related to Bai Luo in her hands.
As long as this information is handed over to the immortals, no matter what choice they will make, at least the guy who is staying out of the matter can be pulled in, so that he won't be so comfortable just eating spectators' food.
"No, we don't know the attitude of the immortals towards him yet. If the immortals think we are throwing dirty water on him, it will be even more troublesome."
Ningguang said after reaching out to stop Ye Lan.
If it were before, Ningguang would definitely agree with Ye Lan's choice.
Because it is a beneficial and harmless thing for them.
But before that, she had met the Great Sage Subduing Demons in person and consulted him about matters related to Bai Luo.
During that consultation, the Demon-Subduing Great Sage did not give her much useful information, but he also made her clear about the immortal's attitude towards Bai Luo.
Ningguang's people have been with the Great Sage Conquering Demons for such a long time that they know this immortal's temper very well.
He can't be said to be approachable, but he can't be said to be aloof either.
No matter who I talk to, it always feels calm and peaceful.
His emotions only fluctuated when he mentioned the missing Yaksha.
[Bai Luo?! Have you seen him? Where is he? ]
[If you have seen him, please tell me where he is. I have something very important to find him for! ]
The demon-conquering sage who is always frugal with words and treats people calmly.
After hearing her say the name Bai Luo, he actually showed such an unbearable side of himself, which made it hard not to doubt the relationship between them.
She could feel that urgency even through the mask.
The most important thing was an old account book she dug up.
It was a small detail that she had forgotten long ago.
This is the record of the instructor’s first visit to Liyue.
That day, the Great Sage who Conquers Demons was looking out from the treetops while the instructor was recuperating from his injuries on the platform.
Normally, when faced with such a situation, the Great Sage Subduing Demons would avoid communicating with ordinary people as much as possible.
But that day he observed the instructor in the treetops for a long time.
Apart from almond tofu, he, who never accepted offerings from mortals, actually caught the sunset fruit thrown by the instructor.
After the Great Sage ate the Sunset Fruit, the two of them put on their masks and disappeared in the same way. No one knew where they went.
Afterwards, the instructor used a lot of tricks to summon the Great Sage who subdues demons.
She didn't take it seriously at the time.
Now it seems... ...something unknown must have happened during the time they disappeared.
"But it's against the rules to keep the immortal out like this, right?"
The status of immortals in Liyue is higher than that of the Seven Stars.
If they are stopped outside without a proper reason, unnecessary conflicts will inevitably arise.
Ye Lan even had reason to suspect that they would directly attack Liyue City, pull down the unruly Liyue Seven Stars, and regain power in Liyue.
"No problem. Since I have already guessed that the immortals would do this, I will naturally arrange corresponding countermeasures."
To be in command of all strategies is not just a synonym for the heart of the Coral Palace.
Whether in the officialdom or the business world, Ningguang rarely fights unnecessary battles.
Therefore, she had already thought of a way to deal with the immortal.
"Do you still remember the guest official who organized the ceremony to send off the immortals in the Hall of Rebirth?"
"you mean... ... "
She was naturally familiar with that guest official. In a sense... it was she who introduced the traveler to the other party. However, the one who asked her to make the introduction was Ningguang, the Tianquan Star in front of her.
"Go and inform the immortals that the Emperor's farewell ceremony is currently being prepared. All matters will be discussed after the Emperor's funeral is settled. By then, Tianquan will personally go to Jueyunjian to apologize."
Chapter 655: You can’t just grab a duck and pluck it, right
No matter how turbulent the current situation in Liyue is, the Northland Bank is definitely the most solid one.
Although there were reasons why Bai Luo asked his men not to cause trouble, it was more because of its special status.
As one of the largest banks in Liyue today and a well-known bank in the entire Teyvat, the wealth and treasures it stores are countless.
Its customers come from all walks of life and can be said to be the lifeline of many people.
No matter how many ideas those who secretly fan the flames have, they will not touch the Northland Bank, because touching the Northland Bank would not only offend the Fatui, but would also create enmity with countless people.
Therefore, even though the Fatui and Liyue fell out in the original novel, the Bank of the North remained as stable as a rock.
Today, Northland Bank is as bustling as ever.
After many knowledgeable people noticed the turmoil in Liyue, they immediately chose to come to the Northland Bank with their assets.
Maybe the fees of Northland Bank are much higher than those of ordinary money houses, but at least its credibility is guaranteed.
Even if for some reason, the things they deposited here were lost.
As long as you bring the corresponding documents and procedures, Northland Bank will compensate the corresponding expenses afterwards. This is one of the reasons why Northland Bank was able to take root in Liyue so quickly.
He is very efficient.
On the other hand, if someone owes something to Northland Bank... ...the debt handlers are not easy to deal with.
In addition to Northland Bank’s customers, there have been a number of unfamiliar faces in the lobby recently.
They basically used consulting business as an excuse to stay in Northland Bank for a long time, sometimes staying for the whole day.
These people certainly cannot be customers. They are basically spies planted by Liyue.
If it were in the past, Andre would have sent people to drive them out long ago, but with Bai Luo's order, they couldn't do anything and could only let them stay here.
With a slight sigh, Andre went upstairs along the stairs.
The noise downstairs did not affect Bai Luo upstairs.
I have to say that the accommodation arranged by Northland Bank for Tartaglia is really great.
Unless you open the windows on purpose, the noise from the outside world will not affect the interior of the house at all, and may even give people the illusion of being isolated from the world.
"Mr. Executive, except for the people from Guyun Pavilion, all the members of the advance team that were scattered throughout Liyue have returned."
"As for the archaeological team, they should also bring only the minimum weapons possible, mainly for self-protection."
"Liyue has not let down its guard against us."
Andre secretly glanced at Rosalin who was leaning on the sofa and reading a book, and buried his head deeply again.
If it was just Bai Luo, he could still breathe a sigh of relief.
The executive officer was notoriously hard on his subordinates.
Even though he would occasionally play tricks on me, it would only make me look embarrassed and at most I would lose some face.
Basically there is no danger to life.
But the woman sitting on the sofa was different.
The Eighth of the Twelve Executioners of the Fatui—[Ms.].
Compared with the last time we met, the lady this time didn't have that arrogant feeling anymore.
Even after arriving in Liyue, he did not interfere too much with Bai Luo's plans.
Now she really looks like what a Mondstadt person should be like.
"How are Roger's gang?"
Looking through the information in his hand, Bai Luo asked.
Roger and his group of seemingly clowns also play an indispensable role in his plan.
"We secretly funded them through a merchant in Liyue named Mao Caigong, but their actions... Sigh."
As a subordinate of a rich man, Andre originally thought that there was nothing in the world that Mora could not solve.
But after coming into contact with Roger and his gang, he finally understood why Liyue said that.
A rotten wood cannot be carved.
These people are truly hopeless, absolutely hopeless.
If it wasn't a task assigned by Bai Luo himself, he would have wanted to quit.
“Is it done cleanly?”
Funding Roger and the remnants of these vortexes is definitely a stain.
If it is not handled cleanly, it may affect Bai Luo's layout.
"Don't worry, Mr. Executive. Mr. Maocai was originally a businessman. He also had reasons to use Mora to support Roger. No matter how the General Affairs Department investigates, they can't find anything wrong with us. As long as they can't find anything, everything will be easy." Volcano Literature
Yes, there are some things that you and I know very well, and we are also very clear about who did it.
Even if Liyue's General Affairs Department was 100% certain that the Fatui and the Northern Bank were behind the conspiracy, they would have no way to stop it as long as they could not trace the blame to the Northern Bank.
"That's best."
After carefully looking through the information in his hand and making sure there were no omissions, Bai Luo nodded with satisfaction and put it casually on the table.
In this way, he only has one trump card left in his hand, and he only needs to find a chance to throw it out to get out of the matter.
"Excuse me, sir, is there anything else you would like to ask me? If not, I will..."
Andre swallowed and looked a little nervous.
That’s right, before becoming an executive officer, Bai Luo had already dealt with these superiors.
After they became colleagues, except for a very small number of executives, Bai Luo no longer felt much pressure from them.
But it’s different for those of them who serve as subordinates.
He could still relax a little when facing his direct superior, the rich man.
But if he had to face two other executives at the same time, it was already his limit for him to be able to stand here.
"Go and appease everyone. After this matter is over, give everyone a bottle of fire water... and send an extra box from Guyun Pavilion."
"As for the cost..."
In the Kingdom of Winter, fire and water are actually not very expensive.
But in Liyue, this thing is an imported product and is much more expensive than local ones.
