Words : 1233 Updated : Sep 29th, 2025

Following his memories, Su Yuan successfully arrived at the entrance of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, only to find the main doors tightly shut, as if no one was inside at all... Then he remembered that the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor might not be open to the public during the day. Or perhaps the Director Hu Tao and guest consultant Zhongli had gone out on business, which would explain why no one was there. However, Su Yuan felt that as a stranger, it might be a bit presumptuous to just go straight to Hu Tao and Zhongli and try to get close to them. Sure enough, it seemed like he would need someone to introduce him first... Su Yuan felt a slight regret. If only back when he came to Liyue with Beidou and Kazuha from Fontaine, he hadn’t been so cautious and had gotten off the ship with them to get familiar with Ningguang, things probably wouldn’t be so awkward now... Of course, Su Yuan also understood that it wasn’t like he had no options at all. Just like when he was in Fontaine with Neuvillette and shared some of his little secrets to gain his trust, he could probably do the same here... Since he couldn’t find Hu Tao or Zhongli now, he had no choice but to look for Ningguang... After all, she should spend most of her time working at the Jade Chamber... Though it sounded a bit strange and the wording wasn’t quite right, Su Yuan still wanted to say: "You can run from the monk, but you can’t run from the temple; you can run from Ningguang, but you can’t run from the Jade Chamber..." If that’s the case, waiting at the entrance of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor wouldn’t be a bad idea either... After all, you can run from Hu Tao and Zhongli, but you can’t run from the Funeral Parlor! However, when Su Yuan arrived at Yujing Terrace and found Buyun, the guide to the Jade Chamber, hoping to have him lead the way to meet Ningguang, he was coldly refused... "Sir, if you think that anyone can just casually enter the Jade Chamber, or that Lady Ningguang can be seen by just anyone, then you are gravely mistaken..." "So many people have used all their connections and spent vast amounts of wealth just for a chance to climb the Jade Chamber and meet Lady Ningguang—and yet they still couldn’t succeed..." "Just based on a few words from you, hoping I’ll lead you up to the Jade Chamber is nothing but a fairy tale!" "Besides, who knows if you’re not an assassin from an enemy faction of Liyue, trying to get into the Jade Chamber to assassinate Lady Ningguang?" Su Yuan didn’t know what to do anymore. The problem now was that he simply couldn’t gain Buyun’s trust... And Buyun, in the original game, was just an ordinary NPC. Other than knowing his name was Buyun and that he was a guide for the Jade Chamber, there was no other information about him... There was simply no way to gain Buyun’s trust by revealing little secrets only he knew... "Mr. Buyun, what’s going on here? Why is it so noisy?" At that moment, Su Yuan heard a voice behind him. He turned around and saw an old acquaintance... Although, this old acquaintance was only an acquaintance on Su Yuan’s side... "Miss Ganyu, hello," Su Yuan greeted her with a smile. "Huh? Do you know me, sir? Sorry, but I don’t seem to remember you at all..." Ganyu scratched her head, wearing a somewhat puzzled expression. "Miss Ganyu, you’ve come at just the right time. I saw this person sneaking around, and the first thing he said was that he wanted to go up to the Jade Chamber to see Lady Ningguang..." In front of Ganyu, Buyun was the first to speak: "But when I asked him if he had any appointment proof or identification, he couldn’t produce anything!" Facing Buyun’s "accusation first," Su Yuan was not surprised. Instead, he quietly whispered to Ganyu: "Ganyu, let’s go somewhere with fewer people. I have something important I want to tell you alone..." "Please, Wang Xiaomei... Tumbling-Down-the-Mountain True Lord..." Hearing these two nicknames, Ganyu’s face flushed slightly, and she whispered with some embarrassment and shyness, "I understand..." "Mr. Buyun, this gentleman is indeed a distinguished guest of ours at the Yuehai Pavilion, but trying to get into the Jade Chamber like this does break the rules..." Ganyu then spoke to Buyun: "Mr. Buyun, sorry to bother you at work. I’ll take this gentleman away now..." After speaking, Ganyu led Su Yuan to an open space beside the Yuehai Pavilion, then asked: "May I ask, sir, what is your name?" "My name is Su Yuan — ’Su’ as in tiramisu, and ’Yuan’ as in broken walls and ruins." Ganyu nodded and continued, "Alright, Mr. Su Yuan..." "The two nicknames you just used for me are something ordinary people definitely wouldn’t know..." "So I’m guessing you must have a close connection with the Traveler or Master..." "Hehe, as expected of Miss Ganyu, you noticed that," Su Yuan chuckled, "That’s right, the Traveler and I are comrades who’ve been through life and death together!" "So, Mr. Su Yuan, is there something important you need to discuss with Lady Ningguang?" "If it’s something urgent that needs to be said in person, I will immediately arrange a meeting with Lady Ningguang for you..." "If it’s not something extremely urgent, you can just tell me directly." "Actually, there isn’t anything particularly important or urgent. I’ve just recently arrived in Liyue and wanted to get a general understanding of the current situation here..." "If that’s the case, I can give you a brief rundown right now." "Not long ago, Liyue started experiencing numerous malicious killings..." "After an investigation by the General Affairs Department, it was discovered that all these murderers were controlled by a strange and terrifying force, granting them power beyond that of normal people..." Su Yuan nodded, it seemed these incidents indicated that many ordinary people had been corrupted and controlled by this eerie force... "What about those Sea Hordes monsters over at Guyun Stone Forest?" Su Yuan asked next. "Su Yuan, you even know about this?" Ganyu showed a slightly surprised expression. "Because of the Adepti’s confidentiality, the vast majority of Liyue people don’t know that the Sea Hordes at Guyun Stone Forest were also corrupted and controlled by this ominous force..." "But thanks to the joint efforts of the Adepti, and the intervention of the Archon himself, the crisis there has now been completely resolved." Su Yuan couldn’t help but nod—no wonder it’s Liyue, no wonder it’s the Archon... Even without his intelligence help, they managed to solve the crisis caused by the eerie corruption... No wonder the House of the Hearth homeless orphans from all over Teyvat, but none from Liyue... The people of Liyue are very well protected by their nation and the Adepti... But in the next moment, Su Yuan felt a sharp pain in his abdomen... He looked up, unable to believe what he saw before him—Ganyu. Why... why did Ganyu’s expression suddenly become so strange? Why was there also an eerie aura surrounding her...? When exactly had Ganyu been corrupted and controlled by this eerie power? --------------- Exclusive access : 320+ch on paetron Join now : patreon*com/DeCakraWnloverz
