"So, Ningguang wants to invite that traveler?"
As Wang Daoyi was studying the Gnosis at home, he was interrupted by someone.
Looking at the "young lady" with qilin horns in front of him, Wang Daoyi couldn't help but show an expression of speechlessness. "Senior Ganyu, if Ningguang wants to invite the traveler, why don't you go directly to them? Why involve me?"
"Please, please don't call me senior, just call me Ganyu." Ganyu explained somewhat embarrassedly, "Because there were some misunderstandings with the traveler before, I want to ask you to be the intermediary, so that the traveler can accept Ningguang's invitation."
Wang Daoyi was helpless. Currently, it's likely that Lumine is with Zhongli, so it might not be easy to handle if he goes over there. However, facing Ganyu in front of him, he couldn't refuse.
After all, Ningguang had given him a lot. The previous elemental fragments, not to mention the favors he owed.
However, the meeting between Zhongli and Ying was about to end, so there shouldn't be a problem if he went over.
In the end, Wang Daoyi agreed to Ganyu's request, with the reward being that Ningguang would continue to send him a batch of elemental materials.
Hmm, Elemental materials, I didn't want to, but Ningguang has given too much.

"The returnee from the Jade Chamber, I'm sorry to disturb you!"
Lumine and Paimon were chatting happily when they heard a voice behind them.
"Who?" Paimon turned around suddenly.
Lumine reacted faster, turning around and protecting Paimon behind her.
Then they saw a girl with strange decorations and a familiar figure standing behind them.
"Daoyi? Why are you here? Weren't you in seclusion? Also, who is she?"
"Cough." Wang Daoyi walked to Zhongli's side, first giving him a helpless look, then said, "She is Ganyu, the secretary of Jade Chamber, serving the Qixing of Liyue. She is here to invite you on behalf of Ningguang. Afraid that you might refuse, she asked me to be the mediator."
"Ningguang?"
"Invitation?"
Lumine and Paimon each caught the key points.
Ganyu took over the questions. "Yes, I represent the Tianquan, inviting you to visit the Jade Chamber."
"Wow, it's about Ningguang, Ningguang's envoy!" Paimon exclaimed in surprise.
To Paimon's surprise, Ganyu showed a sorry look. "I apologize for the lack of etiquette while in the mortal world."
Then she took out a letter and handed it to Ying.
"This is an invitation from Ningguang, inviting you to visit the Jade Chamber as the representative of the Tianquan."
Lumine took the invitation and said, "We're still having dinner, can we go tomorrow?"
Ganyu nodded. "Of course!"
On the other side, Zhongli spoke, "Since the matter is done, let's have dinner together!"
Ganyu didn't know Zhongli's identity; she only recognized him as a guest of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
She shook her head quickly, refusing Zhongli, saying she still had work, and then disappeared into the crowd.
Seeing Ganyu refused and left, Zhongli looked at Wang Daoyi again.
Wang Daoyi gave a forced smile. He couldn't tell what Zhongli was thinking, so he could only sit down reluctantly and accompany him for dinner.
Lumine and Paimon didn't notice the subtle atmosphere between Wang Daoyi and Zhongli, continuing to enjoy their meal and chat happily. They recounted their experiences over the past few days and mentioned the Fatui's executive Tartaglia who had saved them.
Listening to them, Wang Daoyi couldn't help but remind them, "Although Tartaglia is from the Fatui, you should not trust him too much!"
"Ah, does Daoyi also know Tartaglia?" Paimon asked in surprise.
Wang Daoi nodded slightly, not saying much, just indicating that he had fought withTartaglia before.
Lumine felt a little moved but remembered that Lumine's goal was to find her brother. In the end, she sighed and gave up the idea of having Lumine find a regular job.
After the discussion about how to pay the bill, Lumine and Paimon bid farewell to Zhongli. "Zhongli, we're leaving. Wang Daoyi, are you coming with us to Wangsheng Funeral Parlor?"
Wang Daoyi glanced at Zhongli and refused Lumine's proposal.
"It's getting late, you two go ahead. I'll go home directly later."
After Lumine and Paimon left, Wang Daoyi explained with a smile, "Haha, Emperor, it's unexpected, but Ningguang has given too much. I can't help but work for her."
Zhongli looked at Wang Daoyi with a faint disdain in his eyes.
Huh, for the sake of money, he's going against his will. It doesn't seem like him at all. He usually treats money as nothing.
Looking at the somewhat frightened Wang Daoyi, Zhongli shook his head. If it were in the past, he would have at least scolded him, but now, he's about to retire, so forget it.
"It's almost time. The preparation for the Rite of Ascension should be completed soon, and the patience of the Adepti is almost worn out."
Zhongli said calmly, giving Wang Daoyi an overview of the current progress of the plan.
"When the Adepti's trust in the Qixing reaches its lowest point, the two sides will inevitably confront each other. At that time, Lumine will definitely go to the Golden House to find the Gnosis. It will be the moment when the traveler sees the true target of the Fatui's executive."
"And the divine body doesn't contain the Gnosis. When Tartaglia realizes that Morax might be feigning death, he will initiate the final plan to force me to take action. That is to use a large number of Forbidden Contracts to open the seal of the Guyun Stone Forest and release the demons that I have suppressed."
At this point, a hint of smile appeared at the corner of Zhongli's mouth. "So, which old friend will come out? It should be the one with the biggest reputation, Osial!"
Listening to Zhongli's words, Wang Daoyi felt a strange shock. Knowing the plot, of course, he knew that things would develop as Zhongli said.
Different from experiencing the plot in the game, Wang Daoyi, who witnessed Zhongli's plan firsthand, felt even more awe for the wisdom of the gods and demons.
The Qixing of Liyue, who ruled Teyvat for thousands of years, were not simple characters.
