Chapter 548: Yelan! A ripe, poisonous candy!
For this reason, there are now dozens of acting secretaries lingering in Yuehai Pavilion.
All of them serve Ganyu alone, but even with so many people, it is still difficult to handle all her work.
It seems that if they are to be truly cultivated, it will take a considerable amount of time.
Subsequently, when Hearing Luo Li and the tool duo arrived near Yiyan Palace, they passed through the numerous crowds.
Although the Geo Archon has "fallen," there are still a large number of people who believe that the Geo Archon can still protect them; this faith, inherited from ancient times, is expected to be impossible to eliminate for a long time.
Of course, there is nothing bad about this; the Liyue Qixing did not seize power by usurpation, so they naturally would not forcibly eliminate the Archon's influence.
"Should we send word?" Paimon asked, looking at the guards at the entrance of Yiyan Palace.
On the far right was the envoy who once sent them to the Jade Chamber.
Paimon went to ask if the other party could help bring a few people into Yiyan Palace, but received an answer of being unable to help.
Although the two sides were not strangers, the Jade Chamber was Ningguang's private territory and naturally could not be compared to Yiyan Palace.
Therefore, even as a guide, there was no way to bring them in through his own connections.
However, fortunately, a turning point appeared at this time; the three saw an acquaintance just coming out of Yiyan Palace.
"Huh, Master! Why are you here?!"
Carrying a stack of documents, Ganyu's expression as she looked outside became very surprised.
She had just finished delivering a task, and seeing Hearing Luo Li and the traveler duo was truly very unexpected.
"This is quite a coincidence; it seems we don't need to think of ways to get in."
Hearing Luo Li smiled lightly and opened his arms towards Ganyu, who was coming to meet them.
The master and apprentice, who had parted half a month ago, met again; Ganyu happily hugged Hearing Hearing Luo Li waist, enjoying the atmosphere wrapped in a sense of security.
A moment later, after the reunion, Ganyu separated from Hearing Luo Li under the surprised gazes of many guards.
"Master, you are here for...?"
Her gentle eyes blinked, and it seemed as if only Hearing Luo Li existed in her gaze, unable to even fit the traveler duo.
"Here for some business to find the Liyue Qixing, to get a permission from them."
Ganyu suddenly realized and said, "Then I will take you in."
As a secretary to the Liyue Qixing, she clearly possessed the privilege of bringing strangers into Yiyan Palace.
After all, in terms of status conversion, apart from the Liyue Qixing, her tasks and power were relatively large.
It was just that Ganyu had never liked using power; as a half-adeptus, she was free of desires and very restrained.
Under the unwavering gaze of the guards, the half-adeptus girl in black silk stockings easily brought the three into Yiyan Palace.
"Ganyu's influence is really big!" Paimon expressed heartfelt emotion.
If it weren't for her, the three would have had to think of ways to get in.
Of course, Hearing Luo Li might have had a simpler way, such as using spatial movement to enter without permission.
But doing so might cause some accidents and trouble; now with Ganyu, there was naturally no need to take risks.
Inside Yiyan Palace!
As the place where the Geo Archon once worked and resided, the interior decoration was extremely luxurious.
Magnificent and grand were just the basics.
The many carved beams and painted pillars were subdivided into several areas, and along the way, the flowers, birds, insects, fish, screens, and jade steps were dazzling.
Although the place was large, there were very few people inside.
Most of the guards were outside, and inside, apart from the Liyue Qixing and the people they trusted, it was almost impossible for strangers to appear.
Now, some passing clerks were a bit surprised to see Ganyu bringing three strangers in.
If it were an ordinary person, they might have sounded the alarm directly, but since it was Ganyu, no one felt any vigilance.
After all, although this place was important, compared to the many secrets Ganyu had in her head, it was nothing.
While heading towards the depths of Yiyan Palace, Ganyu introduced it to Hearing Luo Li.
However, she soon discovered that Hearing Luo Li didn't seem unfamiliar with the various facilities here and didn't need guidance at all.
She paused for a moment before reacting; Hearing Luo Li had been here hundreds of years ago, and had even chatted and drank with the Archon here countless times.
However, the introduction was not useless; at least Lumine and Paimon were very shocked.
This was an aesthetic completely different from Mondstadt or Inazuma, mixed with the precipitation of history and ancient engravings.
"Because most of the Liyue Qixing have their own work, Yiyan Palace follows a duty system, with the Liyue Qixing taking turns on duty; the person responsible this month is Lady Ningguang."
Soon the four arrived at the innermost part, and Ganyu explained as they finally reached the outside of the main hall.
Hearing Luo Li nodded slightly, and while Ganyu went to knock on the door, he heard faint conversation coming from inside the hall.
One of them was Ningguang, whom he had met several times, and the other was quite unfamiliar.
Not letting Hearing Luo Li wait, Ganyu pushed open the ajar hall door and brought the three inside.
The sudden guests caused the conversation inside to stop immediately.
Ningguang frowned slightly, her sharp gaze looking towards the door, only to find it was Ganyu.
After her astonishment, Ningguang returned to a faint smile.
"Miss Ganyu, is there anything else that hasn't been explained clearly?"
"No, I just brought Master and the traveler to see you."
Ganyu said, stepping aside, making Hearing Luo Li, Lumine, and Paimon appear.
"Mr. Hearing Luo Li?"
The moment she discovered Hearing Luo Li, Ningguang stood up from her seat to show respect.
Since the Archon incident, Hearing Hearing Luo Li relationship with the Geo Archon had been mostly figured out, plus the Archon had later told the Liyue Qixing in a dream that he was not dead.
Ningguang clearly understood that this person was also a big shot, perhaps even one of the Seven Archons, so her attitude was very respectful.
Besides, the scene of Hearing Luo Li slapping Osial away was still fresh in her memory; such a powerful figure could not be valued too highly.
Fortunately, the other party was Ganyu's master and had also been an important person who protected Liyue, so there was no need to worry about him being detrimental to Liyue.
"I don't know that Mr. Hearing Luo Li has arrived; I failed to welcome you, please forgive Ningguang for her rudeness."
The noble woman in a graceful cheongsam walked down and expressed her apology to Hearing Luo Li.
"There is no need for polite words; I came suddenly, so it is normal that you didn't know."
Waving her hand, Hearing Hearing Luo Li gaze passed over Ningguang and looked at the blue figure behind her.
That was a woman wearing black silk stockings similar to Ganyu's, with short blue-black hair with gradient highlights and beautiful emerald eyes.
Her figure was quite curvaceous, different from the slender girl, carrying a mature and alluring flavor.
Like a candy wrapped in poison, and like a ghost that cannot be fathomed.
Clearly standing there, her presence was quite thin.
"Miss Yelan?"
Seeing her, Ganyu couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
She was Yelan?
Hearing Luo Li narrowed his eyes and began to seriously examine this alluring mature woman again.
