Hagintos Feels Bai Ye Leaping Back and Forth on Death's Door

I haven't kissed anyone or confessed my love, so I'm clean with everyone.

Thinking this, Bai Ye immediately felt righteous.

"Sister Ningguang, when do I leave for work?"

Seeing that Bai Ye hadn't even considered it, Ningguang was taken aback.

"Aren't you going to ask what kind of work it is?"

"No need."

Everything Ningguang gave him generously was for Floating Stones; he accepted any commission.

Ningguang rubbed her temples.

Then she stood up, and the qipao that had previously exposed her fair thighs draped down, covering much of her beauty.

Ningguang leaned close to Bai Ye, bending down to bring her lips near his ear.

"Someone like you is very easily deceived. I'm telling you, there are plenty of rich women in Liyue who love to keep young men."

Ningguang's breath was like a fragrant orchid.

She was so close that Bai Ye could feel the warmth on his face.

Am I being teased? he thought to himself.

At the same time, Bai Ye felt Ningguang place something hard into his arms.

"This is a deposit for you."

Seeing Bai Ye's shy, pretty face, Ningguang felt inexplicably pleased.

She took a deep breath beside Bai Ye's face and sat back down.

Her tone became serious:

"In a few more days, it will be time for the Rite of Descension. This year is different from previous years; the Fatui are very active, and they might be plotting some sabotage in secret. At the same time, openly, the traffic in Liyue Harbor will increase, and the sources of people will be more complex."

"To prevent any incidents during the Rite of Descension, I've arranged for people to maintain order both openly and in secret. Yelan will handle the secret investigation into those causing trouble behind the scenes, while you and Ganyu will lead people to maintain public order."

So it's a security job!

Although he knew something would happen during the Rite of Descension, Bai Ye still nodded, indicating his willingness to accept.

"The most important thing for Liyue right now is the Rite of Descension. After the Rite of Descension, we can start building roads and manufacturing vehicles."

"Mm."

"Once Ganyu returns, we, the Seven Stars, will arrange for her to liaise with you. She'll be the overall commander responsible for many matters, and you'll handle the specific frontline actions..."

After she had explained everything, Ningguang waved her hand.

Bai Ye signaled for the maids to bring in a table of food.

"Alright, the arrangements are complete. Now it's time for a welcoming feast."

Ningguang raised her wine glass.

"This time, you dealt with the Archon remnants first, and then the Fatui. Thank you for your hard work."

"Well, it's all for my own profit, isn't it?"

Bai Ye picked up his juice and toasted Ningguang.

"To profit!"

Ningguang and Bai Ye shared a smile.

After eating and drinking their fill, Bai Ye prepared to leave.

He had plans to eat with Hu Tao and Xiangling at Wanmin Restaurant in the afternoon.

Descending from the Jade Chamber, Bai Ye found a place and eagerly began to absorb the Floating Stone Ningguang had given him.

Opening the bag, he found a large piece of Floating Stone inside.

It was far better than the fragments of Floating Stone Bai Ye had absorbed before.

Bai Ye reached out and absorbed the Floating Stone fragment completely.

"Ah~, that feels good. I almost went crazy after holding back for two days."

Hagintos's voice echoed beside Bai Ye.

Bai Ye quickly comforted her, "It was for safety. First, we encountered that disciple of Cloud Retainer, and then we directly met Rex Lapis. I didn't dare to let even a trace of you out. We're going to Wanmin Restaurant later, Hu Tao is treating tonight. I said we'd eat outdoors, so you can have a good meal then too."

"That's more like it," Hagintos said with satisfaction.

Then, She remembered Bai Ye's previous sentence.

"Wait, you said you met Rex Lapis? Was there no danger?"

"Well, probably not..."

Bai Ye answered subconsciously.

Lying on the same bed as Hu Tao in front of Zhongli, He probably wouldn't suffer any world-ending calamities.

Hearing Bai Ye say this, Hagintos immediately became nervous.

"Why are you so unconfident? Is it because of me, your teacher?"

It wouldn't do if she, in order to protect herself, caused her student to be in danger.

"It's not because of you, teacher."

To comfort his teacher, Bai Ye had no choice but to honestly recount everything that had happened before.

After listening, Hagintos was speechless.

"Bai, you don't deserve any sympathy for getting beaten to death."

"Would you say that about your own student?"

Bai Ye was greatly embarrassed.

"Then what should I say? Should I say I'll immediately go and abduct that Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, leave a letter behind, and tell Morax that his daughter, Hu Tao, has been abducted by your former enemy Hagintos's disciple?"

Hagintos felt that she was an Archon, and in the Archon War, she should have been on the opposing side of Zhongli.

"I feel like I can't escape Liyue."

Bai Ye said honestly.

Then, he felt something was wrong and emphasized to his teacher:

"We're just ordinary friends. We're still very pure, ordinary friends. We don't have any improper thoughts about anyone."

"You can use that line to fool your teacher, but don't deceive your own heart. Forget it, forget it. This matter is up to you. And you, this Hu Tao is with Morax. The Ganyu you met before was also a disciple of an Adeptus, inherently half-Adepti. If you found a few more girls like that Xiangling, it would be great. The Archon beside her lost his power and couldn't see through me."

"Um, actually, Teacher Xiangling is also an Adeptus."

Grandma Yu was no less powerful than Cloud Retainer.

"You are truly arrogant."

After silently evaluating this, Hagintos quickly changed the subject.

"Let's hurry up and research what to eat tonight! I haven't eaten properly for days, I want to eat my fill."

"Okay!"

Bai Ye led Hagintos towards the direction of Wanmin Restaurant.

The boss of Morax, the disciple of an Adeptus. Bai Ye discovered that among the girls he was close to, Ningguang and Yelan were actually the safest.

Who would believe it if he said it out loud?

As Bai Ye walked, he arrived at Wanmin Restaurant.

As soon as he approached, He saw two girls standing on his left and right, waving at him.

Hu Tao shouted at Bai Ye, "Bai Ye, you're finally here!"

On the other side, Xiangling also called out.

"The food is ready, we've prepared to celebrate for you!"

"Mhm, I'm here!"

In the Guili Plains, Ganyu was escorting personnel to this area.

After arranging for the Millelith and the prisoners to settle in, Ganyu went to the side of a tent and picked up a pen and paper to write.

She planned to report her encounter with her Junior Disciple Brother to her teacher.

[Teacher, it's been a long time since I've seen you. I wonder how you are on Mt. Aocang. I've met your little disciple, and I will take good care of him in Liyue Harbor. Don't worry, I will definitely help him grow.]

After finishing writing, Ganyu put it in an envelope, preparing to see if anyone was going to Mt. Aocang on the way and ask them to deliver it.
