Chapter 240

In fact, many fishermen in Liyue are the ones who understand the most about what the news reported.

If those warships were really training, then their ships should not get close because those battleships are terrifying.

Therefore, some people who originally planned to go fishing at Guyun Pavilion decided to go elsewhere tomorrow. It's better not to get involved in such matters. It would be bad luck if they got hurt by mistake.

On the other hand, some of Liyue's high-ranking officials were filled with doubts.

Training?

No one seems to have mentioned this before, right?

Liyue's navy had already received Takumi's order, so they didn't think much about it. Starting tomorrow, the sea area would be directly blocked. Ordinary people were not allowed to go there.

At Qunyu Pavilion, Ningguang, who had finished her official duties and changed into pajamas after taking a shower, also heard the news. A trace of doubt flashed in her eyes.

Apparently, she wasn't aware of this either.

"Guyun Pavilion?"

Suddenly, Ningguang recalled something.

The Rite of Descension was about to take place, and given the special nature of Guyun Pavilion, she couldn't help but recall what Takumi had mentioned to her before.

"Osial..."

Murmuring softly, Ningguang immediately dialed Takumi's number to understand the situation.

She wanted to confirm her suspicions.

The call connected, and Takumi immediately understood Ningguang's purpose, so he got straight to the point, explaining everything, including his conversation with the Geo Archon.

After listening to Takumi's words, Ningguang nodded solemnly.

"I understand."

"Next, I will also issue an announcement at Liyue Harbor."

"For foreign ships, let the navy direct them away."

"Make them take a detour to avoid any incidents."

Hearing Ningguang's response, Takumi immediately nodded.

"I have already arranged that."

"Be prepared on your side as well."

"The Rite of Descension is very important!"

After ending the call with Takumi, Ningguang thought for a moment before making another call.

After a brief wait, the call was answered.

"What's the matter?" came a cold voice from the other end.

Ningguang got straight to the point:

"Next month, when the Rite of Descension takes place, return to Liyue."

"Put your current affairs aside for now."

The person on the other end of the line paused for a few seconds before responding.

"I understand."

"I'll return then."

"There are no leads here anyway."

Ningguang nodded.

"Then, I'll trouble you, Yelan!"

After finishing the call, Ningguang shook her head, set aside her thoughts, and prepared to rest.

This matter was of great importance, so she had decided to call Yelan back next month. Additionally, she would summon everyone else to return as well.

To handle the upcoming events, she needed to be at full strength.

She didn't want to disappoint the Geo Archon.

Nor did she want to disappoint the people of Liyue!

The urgent news in Liyue also caught the attention of Childe.

Naval training?

It definitely wasn't that simple.

After all, those warships trained every day.

For the news to be broadcast now, something seemed suspicious.

The only possibility was that something had happened at Guyun Pavilion.

Childe's eyes suddenly lit up.

"The Demon God!"

Yes, something must have happened to the sealed Demon God there.

Thinking of this, he immediately called out to the people outside:

"Come here!"

As Childe's voice fell, several figures shrouded in black robes appeared before him.

"Go!"

"Head to Guyun Pavilion and investigate what's happening there."

"See if the Demon God's seal has loosened."

"Also, make sure not to provoke Liyue's people."

"If anything happens, just run!"

"Otherwise, no one will save you!!"

Recalling the battleships' overwhelming firepower, Childe couldn't help but emphasize his instructions.

Hearing this, the Fatui agents nodded and quickly departed toward Guyun Pavilion.

Takumi had no idea that after finishing his call with Ningguang, she had immediately summoned Yelan back.

After stretching, Takumi was ready to rest.

Meanwhile, Lumine and the others also heard the news.

Guyun Pavilion was now off-limits?

What?

There was still a lot of loot left there!

How would they retrieve it?

That was all money!

After thinking for a while, Lumine immediately called Fischer out.

After discussing with her, they made a decision.

They would leave early the next morning.

Go back and retrieve everything first.

Everyone would have to wake up early.

Fischer had no objections.

After all, there was a lot of money at stake.

Thus, they finalized their plan.

They also informed Bennett and the others to wake up early the next day.

With everything arranged, Lumine stopped paying attention to any more news and instead went to rest early.

She didn't know why Takumi had suddenly decided to block Guyun Pavilion.

But something must have happened there.

Otherwise, Takumi wouldn't have done it.

As for whether the order came from someone else?

Impossible.

Liyue's entire navy was built by Takumi.

This order must have come from him.

After arriving in Liyue, Lumine realized how high Takumi's status was.

So, such an order could only have come from Takumi.

Was it because of what happened with the Ruin Guards today? Or something else?

Either way, they had to retrieve everything tomorrow.

Thinking this, Lumine pulled Paimon close, using her as a pillow, and quickly fell asleep.

The next morning, as soon as Lumine woke up, she immediately went to wake the others.

The four of them set out early, rushing to Guyun Pavilion at full speed.

Upon arrival, they quickly began dismantling the remaining Ruin Guards.

However, as they started working, Lumine felt something was wrong.

It was as if something terrifying lay beneath the island.

Lumine was shocked.

"Something is definitely wrong here."

She wasn't the only one who sensed it.

Fischer also noticed something off.

Her perception skills were well known.

Even Razor, who had grown up in the wild and was highly attuned to danger, sensed it too.
