"A package addressed specifically to Tianquan Ningguang for personal delivery?
No wonder Kirara managed to reach Liyue. So she really did come on Beidou's ship."
As Lin Ze walked toward the teahouse, he stroked his chin thoughtfully, murmuring to himself.
A package addressed specifically to Tianquan Ningguang for personal delivery must be something significant.
Given Ningguang and Beidou's long-standing friendship, it made sense that Kirara could travel from Inazuma to Liyue aboard Beidou's ship.
Lin Ze found it a little odd that Beidou hadn't personally brought Kirara to Ningguang, but he decided not to dwell on it.
*The world is vast, but enjoyment comes first.*
*What does it matter what Ningguang bought? It's none of my business.*
With this thought, Lin Ze strode confidently toward the teahouse.
Upon arriving, he didn't immediately enter. Instead, he first went to Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
The teahouse only served tea, perhaps with some light snacks, but nothing substantial enough to satisfy his hunger.
Lin Ze had previously observed people ordering dishes from Wanmin Restaurant and bringing them to the teahouse to enjoy while listening to stories, finishing with tea.
The waiter cleared the table, returning the dishes to Wanmin Restaurant.
Many people did this, and Lin Ze planned to do the same.
Meanwhile, Kirara had proven her identity and been escorted to the Jade Chamber.
She successfully met Tianquan Ningguang and personally handed her the package.
Ningguang opened it to find a letter inside.
Upon unfolding the letter, she discovered another, smaller envelope.
The smaller envelope bore the Three-Tomoe Crest of Thunder, sealed with a potent elemental force.
Ningguang immediately began reading the letter, while Kirara remained.
She had both work and a mission to complete: finding Lin Ze's location and waiting for Ningguang's reply.
Since Ningguang knew Lin Ze's address, staying was the most logical course of action.
"The Raiden Shogun wishes to visit Mr. Lin Ze?"
"Miss Kirara, please wait a moment while I inform the Lord Emperor of this matter."
The arrival of a nation's deity in Liyue was no small matter.
Moreover, she needed to consult Lin Ze, as Ningguang couldn't make such a decision alone.
Ganyu had returned to Jueyun Pass, and while Keqing had resumed her duties, her office was at the General Affairs Bureau. With Ganyu absent, the Seven Stars had even more work to handle, and summoning Keqing would only cause further delays.
Ningguang had no choice but to report directly to the Rock Archon herself.
She retrieved a dazzling incense stick, lit it, and held it in her hand, closing her eyes.
Soon, she had conveyed the matter to the Rock Archon.
When Ningguang opened her eyes again, the other letter on her desk had vanished.
Yet the incense continued to burn.
"I have already informed the Lord Emperor," Ningguang said. "Miss Kirara, please enjoy your tea and wait a moment longer."
Meanwhile, at Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, Zhongli, who had been sipping tea, rose and returned to his room.
With a wave of his hand, he summoned the letter sealed by the Raiden Shogun. He effortlessly broke the seal and began to read its contents.
The message was simple: a Descender had appeared in Liyue, allowing the Raiden Shogun to glimpse a fragment of the answer to Eternity.
Zhongli prepared to meet with her to discuss the true meaning of Eternity.
He hoped the Rock Archon would approve.
Though the Raiden Shogun hadn't explicitly stated it, Zhongli knew the truth.
This wasn't merely sensing a fragment of Eternity's answer; the Raiden Shogun clearly possessed a so-called Diary Replica.
He wondered what Lin Ze had written within it that had stirred Raiden Ei's thoughts, prompting her to seek his counsel.
After tucking away the Raiden Shogun's letter, Zhongli pondered for a moment before leaving his chambers.
He had agreed.
This decision carried risks—Lin Ze might be swayed away—but Zhongli resolved to take the chance. Perhaps he could glean more information from Lin Ze himself.
And so...
Soon, an envelope sealed with Geo energy materialized mid-air within the Jade Chamber, landing before Ningguang and Kirara.
Simultaneously, the Rock Archon's reply entered Ningguang's mind directly.
"The Lord Emperor has agreed. This is his response. Recent affairs have kept him occupied, so he apologizes for any lack of hospitality."
After handing the letter to Kirara, Ningguang resumed her work.
Her three secretaries had been dispatched to assist the General Affairs Bureau, adding to her workload. This wasn't a show of authority; Ningguang was genuinely swamped.
Kirara harbored no resentment. After casting an admiring glance at Ningguang, she tucked the letter away.
Instead of immediately turning to leave, she hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"There's one more matter I must trouble Lord Tianquan with. Could you please tell me where Mr. Lin Ze resides? I'm very curious about him and would like to pay him a visit."
As she spoke, Kirara opened her Diary Replica panel.
Ningguang glanced up briefly, then wrote Lin Ze's address on a piece of paper and handed it to Kirara.
Since the Rock Archon had already approved the Raiden Shogun's visit to Lin Ze, informing Kirara of his address would allow her to report back to Raiden Ei upon her return.
Clearly, both Raiden Ei and Kirara possessed Diary Replicas.
"Thank you, Lord Tianquan," Kirara said, bowing her head.
After expressing her gratitude, Kirara turned to leave, her heart filled with respect for Ningguang. She marveled, "Truly worthy of being one of the Liyue Qixing!"
Observing the Liyue Qixing's work ethic and intensity, she was awestruck. The towering stacks of documents nearly obscured the Tianquan Star itself.
Inside the Jade Chamber, everyone was working with utmost diligence, practically running to complete their tasks. *This is what true officials should be like!*
Kirara held Ningguang in high esteem.
She also respected the Liyue Qixing, having glimpsed Keqing's tireless figure during the identity verification process before meeting Ningguang.
*Too much delay, and we'll never finish everything.*
Keqing's words hung in the air, driving the General Affairs Bureau to work at a feverish pace.
Leaving the Jade Chamber with a heart full of respect, Kirara studied the slip of paper in her hand, memorized its contents, and carefully tucked it into her Vision.
This precious item would undoubtedly prove invaluable back in Inazuma, ensuring she could fulfill her mission for the Raiden Shogun.
"Next, I need to meet Mr. Lin Ze. I wonder what kind of person he is?"
After disembarking from the floating stone platform, Kirara immediately asked the guard stationed there for directions to the address Ningguang had provided.
Glancing at the sky, she set off toward the indicated location.
Kirara didn't know if Lin Ze would be home, but staking out his residence was a foolproof plan.
She could even revert to her true form, bask in the sun by his doorstep, and patiently wait for him. Whether he was leaving or returning, she would be there to intercept him.
Meanwhile, Lin Ze, having devoured a hearty meal, was listening to Old Ironmouth's storytelling.
He was also pondering the optimal price for the God's Heart.
