Chapter 249 Taking Revenge on a Long Journey
Xu Ning thought to himself that he had done the same thing, seeking advice from the Emperor.
After watching Kong leave with Paimon, Xu Ning once again stepped onto the stage of the Adventurers' Guild.
Catherine saw someone approaching and greeted them with a smile, "Towards the Stars..."
"I want to ask you some information!"
Xu Ning interrupted her pleasantries before she could finish speaking, and then he saw Catherine close her mouth and silently look at him, remaining motionless for a long time.
"Huh? It's stuck?"
Xu Ning waved his hand in front of Catherine.
Catherine's professional smile returned as she explained, "I didn't get stuck; I just silently recited the lines in my head."
Xu Ning said dejectedly, "Is it a new model? Is it this unique? I'd like to ask you something."
Catherine smiled and replied, "What is it about?"
"The Southern Cross fleet of Beidou focuses on Beidou news."
Upon hearing Xu Ning's words, Catherine nodded and said, "According to the news from Inazuma, the Southern Cross fleet departed from the island and returned home immediately after receiving news of the Emperor's passing."
"Merchant ships along the way saw a large ship similar to the Death Star, but it did not fly the Southern Cross flag. Instead, it flew a pirate flag with a dragon head and skull, suggesting that it had transformed into a pirate and plundered merchant ships everywhere."
"Breaking news: Fishing boats have spotted a large ship anchored near Guyun Pavilion, its flag unknown."
It must be said that the Adventurers' Guild's information channels are truly impressive.
From these three messages, Xu Ning seemed to be able to see the mental journey of Beidou.
The Emperor is dead? Something's happened! Hurry home.
Too late to get back for the big battle? Let's vent our anger by beating up the Dong family.
You're finally back, and the battle is over? Let's stop at Lonely Cloud Pavilion for a bit, find out what's going on, and then head back.
Xu Ning pondered that rather than waiting for Beidou's men to gather information in Liyue Harbor and return with incorrect intelligence, it would be better for her to go and deliver some positive and encouraging information herself, which might change the terrible scene in her dream.
Xu Ning reached out and grabbed a man wearing small glasses and dressed in green, saying, "Xiao Qian, go to Yuehai Pavilion and pass on a message to Lord Tianquan, saying that I'm going to wander around the vicinity of Guyun Pavilion in the next few days."
Since Ningguang used the Jade Pavilion to suppress Ausel, she has been living in the Moon Sea Pavilion for some time now.
This man named Xiaoqian is said to be a key member of the Adventurers' Guild. He has been making a lot of noise in the streets of Chihu Rock lately, and it is said that he has recruited a lot of people to join the Adventurers' Guild. His performance is even better than that of the beautiful girl Tiantian in Yujingtai.
"It's Lord Xu Ning! To use someone from our Adventurers' Guild, you need to submit a request to Miss Catherine!"
Xiaoqian pointed to the front desk with a grin.
Xu Ning said irritably, "It's just a message, why make such a fuss? Go quickly, I'll introduce you to an expert in a few days, but whether you can get him into the association depends on your methods."
Xiao Qian rubbed his hands together and smiled, "Alright then, I've also been feeling a bit unfulfilled lately by helping ordinary people. I'll wait for you."
Xiaoqian happily went to report the news. As for the embarrassing incident later, when she lost to a master and ended up naked in the shipyard for half the night before being rescued by Tiantian and her men, that's another story.
Xu Ning took a picture at the teleportation anchor point of Tiger Rock and was directly teleported to Lonely Cloud Pavilion.
As he was gazing into the distance, a sudden gust of wind blew beside him, and Xu Ning turned his head to see Xiao appear beside him.
"Immortal Xiao, I apologize for disturbing you. I came here to find someone."
Xu Ning greeted him with a smile.
Xiao glanced towards the due south and quietly said, "It's between the two adjacent islands to the south."
Xu Ning first thanked him, then said apologetically, "I apologize for disturbing your peace and quiet. I will speak to them about it."
Xiao shook his head slightly. "They didn't know I was here, and I didn't contact them, so it can't be considered a disturbance."
After a moment of silence, Xiao spoke again: "Last time... the Emperor wouldn't allow it."
Xu Ning immediately understood what Xiao meant.
When the Vortex Demon God appeared last time, there was such a huge commotion, yet Xiao didn't show up.
Moreover, given Xiao's strength, if he were to make a move, a fully-formed Xiao would be enough to deal with a vortex demon god that had been suppressed for over a thousand years and whose seal had not even been completely broken.
Naturally, the Emperor forbade Him to take action, and even the immortals present did not intervene, only providing a little immortal power.
Xu Ning laughed and said, "That was a test given to us by the Emperor, and we passed it successfully, didn't we?"
Xiao nodded and said again, "Also, thank you for the wine. And, be careful..."
Xu Ning sensed that Xiao's eyes were slightly strange when he said those words. Just as he was about to ask, Xiao turned around and disappeared.
"Hey, what are you being careful of?"
Xu Ning called out, but there was no response for a long time. Full of suspicion, he ran towards the island to the south.
Although Guyun Pavilion is not large, it is shaped like an island on all four sides.
Although it was supposed to be heading south, it was essentially like running around Guyun Pavilion for most of the way.
Seeing the familiar large ship in the distance, Xu Ning, whose forehead was slightly sweaty, couldn't help but smile.
I haven't seen Beidou for a while, and I really miss it!
Listening to the music and drinking games carried on the wind, one knew without asking that a lively banquet was taking place on the large ship.
Xu Ning smiled slightly, beckoned the wind, spread his wings of wind and flew into the air, then slowly glided towards the large ship.
As soon as Xu Ning stepped onto the ship's railing, before he could even greet the people on board, he heard a playful voice laughing cheerfully.
"To thank Big Sister Beidou for treating me to drinks, I'd like to perform another song for everyone."
"Xu Ning travels a thousand miles to his hometown for a nighttime rendezvous with a beauty, Xu Ning's attempt to hide a mistress is cleverly exposed, Xu Ning takes a beauty on a three-day mountain excursion and has not returned—you can request one of these three songs..."
Xu Ning's vision went black, and he almost fell off the ship's side.
How did that street singer end up on this ship?
A burly man laughed and said, "You've already sung all of these. Try something new, or you can put down your wine glass and go eat at Wan Ye's table."
Wendy, standing in the center with a violin in one hand and a wine glass in the other, looked at Xu Ning, who was swaying precariously at the ship's side, with a mischievous expression on her face.
"Then I'll sing a song called 'Bearing humiliation and hardship, I travel thousands of miles, finally avenging my great enemy, and watch how this villain roams freely!'"
Xu Ning gritted his teeth as he looked at Wendy, who was surrounded by the crowd.
This guy asked me to help him deal with the young master last time, and he actually ran away.
As soon as Xu Ning came out, he immediately instructed Baiwen Huaying Graphics to strictly forbid all wine shops in Liyue from selling a single drop of wine to this guy, otherwise he should never think about getting any grade of wine from his distributors again.
Unexpectedly, this guy neither begged for mercy nor apologized, but instead disappeared and even came here ahead of time to slander me.
I always said that the skill of choreographers is a family tradition of Mondstadt, and the root of the problem lies with you, a street performer.
"You shameless scoundrel..."
Xu Ning had just pointed at Wendy and shouted half a sentence when he heard a cold voice from the side ask, "Is what he said true?"
Although the sound was not loud, it contained the faint rumble of thunder.
Xu Ning turned his head in surprise, and the cold sweat that had just disappeared from his forehead reappeared.
"Um... Beidou, let's talk this out, I can explain... Could you put the knife down first...?"
