Liyue Taoist of the original god

Chapter 492: It’s hard at the beginning, but even harder after that! (Part 2)

There was a brief silence in the reception room for a while.

Ningguang was waiting for Xue Lian's answer so she didn't speak again, while Xue Lian was surprised by Ningguang's attitude and didn't know how to speak for a moment.

The setting sun outside completely set at this moment, and the sky slowly became dark.

The family formation in your mansion was operating silently, and the entire mansion lit up with little lights.

In the dots of light, Xue Lian looked at her eyes that were not letting go for a moment, and said with difficulty: "I can't agree, this matter is too big for me."

In the end, Xue Lian, who wanted stability and didn't want to make mistakes, rejected Ningguang's request.

Then she continued to explain: "Before this, I have never interfered in the affairs of the family. You asked me to participate in the immortal invitation ceremony before, and you also asked me to come forward to appease the soldiers of the Qianyan Army. I have done all these things.

It’s very reluctant.”

"After all, the family is managed by the head of the family, Ouyang. Before, he was absent, so I could barely come forward. Now that the head of the family is back, if you feel that someone from your family must be present, then why don't you go to him directly?"

"he"

Hearing Xue Lian mention Ouyang, Ningguang's eyes were blank for a moment, but he recovered quickly.

Xue Lian didn't notice anything strange about Ningguang's expression in the shadowy spots of light.

Ningguang shook his head silently and sighed: "Ouyang will not interfere in this whole matter. This was already explained at the Seven Stars Conference. That's why I found you."

"Or this." Perhaps out of exhaustion, or perhaps for other purposes, Ningguang finally said, "You can ask Ouyang for instructions. If he agrees, then you will come forward to discuss the matter in two days. If he does not agree,

, then I won’t force it anymore, how about this?”

passive!

Ning Guang didn't like this feeling very much.

She doesn't like this, but when it comes to people related to Ouyang, she always puts herself in a passive position.

On the other side, Xue Lian saw that Ning Guang had already said this, and knew that it would be hard to refuse.

It just so happened that this matter really needed to be asked to Ouyang, so she did not refuse again this time, and nodded simply: "Okay, I will ask the head of the family later today and get his opinion."

"Well, good!"

Finally there was some progress, which made Ningguang feel better.

Although she knew that Xue Lian's words were far from the answer she wanted, after all, the matter was not so tense.

This is better news than nothing.

However, Ningguang guessed that Ouyang would not refuse in general.

Although she couldn't explain to Xue Lian why the discussion two days later was so important, Ouyang knew.

Therefore, Ouyang will basically not refuse after learning his request.

And the reason why she didn't choose to say this from the beginning was because it was still related to the assessment.

She didn't know whether Xue Lian's request for instructions was part of the assessment.

Ning Guang doesn’t want to lose!

But in the face of the safety of the people of Liyue, she was passively forced into a corner and had no choice but to make this decision.

"Right."

Talking about Ouyang, Ningguang pretended to be unintentional and asked: "Is Ouyang at home? He made a big fuss in Liyue Port the day before yesterday. Where is he now?"

"The head of the family has been in retreat in Guanhai Pavilion, but he has not been in retreat. He has asked Xiaogui to ask for instructions if there is anything. Do you want to see him for something?"

Ningguang quickly refused: "No, our division of labor is different now. I just asked, I don't need to find him."

The atmosphere then became relatively relaxed.

After the two chatted for a while, they got up and headed to the restaurant together.

With Xue Lian's persuasion, Ningguang agreed to this dinner.

After walking through the corridor, passing through the front hall, and then turning two more corners, the two of them arrived at the restaurant.

As soon as they entered the door, Gui Chuanyu and others, who had been waiting in the restaurant for a long time, spotted the two of them.

Gui Chuanyu even rushed out and shouted coquettishly.

"Mother?! You are finally here?! We are all about to starve to death!"

The child rushed into Xue Lian's arms like a gust of wind. He turned around and found Ning Guang still standing beside him. He immediately let go of his hand with some embarrassment and said awkwardly: "Hello, aunt!"

He knew about Ningguang. Ningguang had appeared before when there was a big fuss in Beiguo Bank. However, because of the chaos at that time and various reasons, Gui Chuanyu didn't know Ningguang.

However, his greeting surprised Paimeng who was sitting at the dining table. She asked in confusion: "Chuanyu, don't you know Ning Guang?!"

"Eh?!"

After being reminded, Gui Chuanyu looked back at Paimeng, then quickly stood at attention and greeted Ningguang seriously: "Hello, Aunt Ningguang!"

"puff"

Paimon looked at the naive Gui Chuanyu, and the drink in his mouth spurted out.

Kong, who was sitting next to him, was a little dumbfounded, and even Xue Lian felt extremely embarrassed at this moment.

Only Zhongli drank tea calmly, as if he only cared about when the meal would be served.

At this moment, the corners of Ningguang's mouth, which was originally smiling, began to twitch slightly.

She knew this kid was a tiger, but she didn't expect him to be so tiger.

But it’s nothing, just treat it as a child’s talk.

Ning Guang accepted this title naturally, at least on the face of it.

She smiled and touched the child's head and said, "You have grown so big. Hello, Gui Chuanyu."

"Well, Aunt Ningguang, have you come to my house as a guest today?" the heartless Gui Chuanyu said enthusiastically, "I am also bringing Mr. Zhongli and my friends to my house for dinner today."

After saying that, she asked Xue Lian with some embarrassment: "Mother, this should be okay, right?"

Xue Lian glanced at Ning Guang calmly. Seeing that her expression was as usual, she smiled and said to the child, "It doesn't matter, it will be more lively to eat together."

After saying that, he ordered the waiting servants to start the meal and invited everyone to sit down and eat.

"Let's have dinner, everyone sit down."

Paimon and Sora, who were sitting at the dining table, were talking quietly.

Paimon patted Kong's thigh under the table, and when Kong looked over in confusion, he whispered in his ear: "Traveler, I didn't expect to meet Ning Guang here. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"What's wrong?" Sora had some guesses as to why Paimon was so excited. It should probably be what happened on the bulletin board before, but he actually didn't care about it.

In the past two days, I followed Zhongli around Manliyue Port and prepared various matters needed for the ceremony of sending immortals.

Instead, he became interested in Zhongli.

So I won't take "contact with Ningguang" to heart.

Seeing Kong's extremely uncooperative attitude, Paimeng said angrily: "You said you couldn't meet Ningguang before, but now that the opportunity has come, are you going to give up like that?"

After greeting Xue Lian, she returned to the dining table and sat down. Seeing Sora and Paimon whispering to each other, she asked with a smile: "Traveler, Paimon, what are you talking about? Do you need anything?"

"No, it's not." Paimeng quickly sat down and explained awkwardly, "We don't have any needs. We are just talking about the football game we watched this afternoon. Well, that football game was really good. Mrs. Xue Lian, please come in advance

It’s really a pity to leave!”

"match?"

Seeing Kong also nodded, Xue Lian smiled and said: "It can make both well-informed travelers and Paimon find it wonderful, so it seems that it is indeed a pity for me to leave early."

The so-called football game is the football sport that Ouyang asked Yan Fei to host.

In addition, there is basketball and volleyball.

These are mainly for children to play and exercise.

The league is also established to increase the employment rate in Liyue Port.

After all, from the construction of venues to the management of the team, some workers will be absorbed.

This entire project includes entertainment industries such as newspapers, which Ouyang originally wanted his family to focus on and develop deeply in the future.

However, after learning that the world was basically monopolized by Steam Bird News and that the labor shortage in Liyue Port was basically solved, I stopped forcing it.

The reason why it started again in the end was purely because the Xuanmen lineage who moved to Liyue, under the arrangement of Yan Fei, and Ma Wenliang and the others, saved up bit by bit.

They are all still primitive, and strictly speaking, they don’t have much ornamental significance.

But it is a new thing after all, and both the people of Liyue and Kong find it very beautiful.

As for what Xue Lian said, they were just stage words, and she actually didn't care about them.

If she hadn't wanted to accompany her child today and see if he could really learn anything by being around Zhongli, she wouldn't have gone out of her way to act with him.

The current echo is just to make the atmosphere at the dinner table more relaxed.

Sure enough, after hearing what Xue Lian said, Gui Chuanyu also said excitedly: "Mother, guess, in the end, the Tornado Qiuqiu people team won, or the Flame Burning team won?!"

"Is this the Flame Burning Team?"

After finishing speaking, he looked at the child's funny expression and said in surprise: "Isn't it right? Did the Tornado Qiuqiu people win? I don't think they are very tall. Compared to the Flame Burning team, they seem a bit weak, but in the end it was the Flame Burning team.

Did the team lose?!"

"Uh." Gui Chuanyu's originally proud expression froze at this moment. He rubbed the back of his head and said in distress, "Mr. Zhongli seems to have said something about the overall and individual strength comparison."

As he spoke, he looked for help at Zhongli, who was quietly drinking tea and waiting for the dishes to be eaten.

Zhong Li received the look and saw that everyone was looking over, so he put down his tea cup and said calmly: "The Flame Burning Team is indeed slightly inferior in terms of physical fitness, but on the field it is not just about physical fitness, but also the skills of asking for help need to be tested.

And brains, the Cyclone Hills are so different in these aspects."

"Generally speaking, the Flames are more integrated, and the Cyclones, who only rely on their bodies, cannot compete with them. This can be seen from the fact that the final score ended at 5:2."

"Although the Tornado Qiuqiu people still scored two points, they could not win the final victory relying on physical fitness. The Flame Burning team played steadily and cooperated with each other, and finally won the victory with the joint efforts of everyone."

After Zhongli explained briefly, he wanted to continue to be a transparent person, but Paimon sitting on the other side couldn't help it at this time.

She quietly glanced at Ning Guang, who was sitting opposite, and then added pretending to be confused.

"Huh? Didn't Mr. Zhongli say before that the Flame Burning Team is like today's Liyue? Without the gods, it will be necessary for the seven stars to work together to fight against various external impacts in the future?"

This was indeed what Zhongli said. Paimeng mentioned it again, trying every possible means to get on Ningguang's line.

She is so afraid of poverty that now she wakes up early every day and goes out to buy food secretly without daring to order expensive food.

That's why she seems so eager and stubborn for the sake of a better life in the future.

Unfortunately, when Ningguang heard this, he did not look at Paimon or the traveler, but instead looked at Zhongli with interest.

At this moment, she felt a little curious about Zhongli, whom she had only met a few times and didn't know much about.

"Mr. Zhongli also pays attention to Liyue's Seven Stars?"

"No." Zhong Li quickly denied, "I happen to be a guest of your family, so I have a little understanding and a little knowledge."

Seeing that the other party did not accept the move, Ningguang did not continue to ask further questions.

My understanding of Zhongli is mostly based on hearsay.

Ouyang mentioned it, and she later sent someone to investigate.

I only know that the other person is indeed a knowledgeable person, but I don’t know much more.

The two met before because of the ceremony of sending immortals.

That meeting made Ningguang feel that Zhongli was a good talker and had something to say, and he had a good impression of him.

Now it seems that Zhongli is also concerned about Liyue's development?!

She remembered that Dadalia had mentioned Zhongli before about sending immortal rituals, and then Ouyang also proposed this candidate.

Then I think of Ouyang, who has now quietly become the god of Liyue.

Ning Guang suddenly thought, is Ouyang going to choose some people to take over the positions that have been vacant for a long time in the Seven Stars like Morax did before?!

Once this idea opened up, the more she looked at Zhongli, the more likely she felt that this was a possibility.

As an emperor and a court official, Zhongli was originally a guest of your family. If Ouyang wanted to gather power, he would naturally choose some people close to him.

So is there anything I can do with this?

Like wooing them in advance?!

wrong!

No rush!

As soon as this idea came up, Ning Guang suppressed it immediately.

It's not that she wants to go against Ouyang, but she feels that Ouyang, who is in the position of Seven Stars, shouldn't be such a childish person.

Even though Ouyang keeps saying "I don't know anything", he actually resolves Liyue's several crises quietly.

Without some real talent and hard work, he, the newly promoted Liyue God, would not be able to brave the disapproval of the world and promote Zhongli.

So it seems that this ceremony of sending immortals is the road paved by Ouyang for Zhongli?!

Unfortunately, everything is just speculation and it is difficult to make a judgment.

Thinking of this, Ningguang's expression did not change and he decided to observe it secretly first.

The atmosphere at the table gradually became relaxed.

However, Paimon and Gui Chuanyu were basically chatting. Paimon tried several times to bring the topic to Seven Stars, but failed.

In the end, I could only angrily start enjoying your family's delicious food.

At the same time, Ouyang in Guanhai Pavilion looked at the sleeping little fox with a toothache and felt troubled.

He never expected that everything would be difficult at the beginning, but then it would be even harder in the end!

Influenced by various literatures in his previous life, he originally thought that helping the little fox complete the eighty-one weekly cycle would be the end of it.

It was quite good at first. Although the spiritual power was not being cultivated smoothly, under his control, the spiritual power in the little fox's body was slowly moving on its own.

But after ninety-nine and eighty-one days, the situation suddenly turned around.

I can't stop!!!

The current situation is that the Dantian in the little fox's body is overflowing, but the spiritual power is still circulating in the meridians. If Ouyang hadn't carefully controlled the spiritual power to dissipate bit by bit, the little fox would have been exploded.

And died.

"System, didn't you say that the little fox's internal skills are not stable and need my help? Why can't it stop now?"

"Report, this device is parsing."

"Analyze your sister!"

Ouyang was so anxious that his forehead began to sweat. He was on pins and needles.

After all, this is a life, not the cold experimental body on the test bench.

Ouyang doesn't have such a hard heart either.

He glanced at the hologram projected by the system, gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and asked the system: "System, how about proceeding directly to the next step now?!"

"The report, after calculation, is that the success rate is seventy-four percent. However, this device needs to remind users that such efforts may lead to more uncertainties."

"Then you can give me a better plan!"

"Report, this device is being analyzed, and the solution will be given after the analysis is completed."

“Hot chicken!”

Ouyang gritted his teeth, carefully controlled the little fox's body, and teleported out of Guanhai Pavilion, arriving at the top of Tianheng Mountain.

After looking at the starry night sky, Ouyang exhaled a breath of turbid air, stabilized his mind, and prepared to help the little fox who had only practiced for two days directly "transform the demon pill into shape"!

My dad is pregnant.

The good news is that although we live in the same community, we don't live together.

The bad news is that my dad visited our two daughters the day before yesterday.

I'm in a weird mood right now, I don't know whether to panic or calm down.
