Chapter 272 The more frustrated you become, the braver you become
"Miss Ningguang, I'm really sorry. I'll accept her gift on my behalf. This friend of mine is not very good at getting along with others, but please believe me, she doesn't mean any harm."
Zuo Xi said it very sincerely. In fact, from his perspective, these words could indeed bear the word "sincerity". But he knew very well that Ningguang could definitely understand some other intentions. And that's what he likes to see.
"It doesn't matter. There are many immortals in Liyue who live far away from the world. Ningguang won't feel guilty for this. I wonder what Mr. Zuo Xi's purpose is for coming here this time?"
Ning Guang had an impeccable smile on his face, but his mind was rapidly processing the information just now.
Judging from each other's words and deeds, the two of them were vaguely headed by the executive. However, this is actually somewhat inappropriate. A more accurate statement should be that what the executive officer said basically represented the meaning of the two people, and the Xian family disciple had no objection.
Perhaps for the sake of "justice", the Xianjiazi named "Shen He" had no intention of getting close to him, and seemed to be repelling him thousands of miles away.
The executive officer's attitude was relatively mild. Although he was competing, judging from the fact that he accepted the apology and did not add insult to injury when the immortal family refused, but instead helped to smooth things over, at least his attitude was not hostile.
In this way, the next course of action is determined. The battlefield of "Xianjia Talisman" has been settled, and she can still compete with the executive officer as usual.
It's hard to say whether the immortal family will favor the other party in the competition, but it will definitely not favor itself. Fortunately, this probably won't affect the immortals' "assessment" of Liyue Port.
After confirming these, she started the next round of testing. She did send the invitation letter, but she still asked the other party's intention of coming, knowingly.
The first is to confirm again to avoid unexpected misunderstandings. The second is to test whether the other party really knows about the invitation. Then use this result to determine how carefully the other party controls various information.
"Miss Ningguang, you are such a noble person. You just sent an invitation letter to your residence. Have you forgotten it now? Come, please take a look."
Zuo Xi smiled and pretended to take out an invitation letter from his arms.
The other party asked the reason and he took out the invitation letter to prove it. This is a completely normal thing.
But when she saw the invitation letter Zuo Xi took out, Ning Guang's heart trembled suddenly, and countless speculations came to her mind.
The reason is simple, this invitation is not the one she sent out at all. At least not from the outside.
This kind of invitation letter, which is obviously fake at a glance, is just a joke. It is impossible for the other party to be unaware of such a simple matter. But he still took it out so openly... This shows that this invitation must have something unique that can prove its "authenticity".
Trying to suppress the speculation in his heart, Ningguang smiled and reached out to take the invitation from the other party.
After opening the invitation letter, Ningguang's bad suspicions finally came true. There is not a word on it, only a red seal - Ning Guang's personal seal.
It was confirmed that this was indeed her own seal, and even the subtle defects and protrusions that were unique due to the manufacturing process were no different - this was not an imitation, this was her seal.
This means that either someone around him is betrayed, or the other party is able to bypass all warnings and sneak in here.
She believed in her ability to recognize people, and the three of them would never betray if they knew everything. Then it can only be someone with excellent concealment skills.
Although the defense here is not as impeccable as Qunyu Pavilion, it is still one of the most heavily defended places in Liyue. Her private seal and [Tian Quan]'s official seal were placed in the same safe. The other party can steal her private seal, which means that he can also use the official seal at any time.
If the other party is intentional and acts more cautiously, they may even do something irreparable to Liyue Port before they even have time to notice.
Although those major events cannot be decided with just one official seal, who says he can only steal one official seal? If he can get the seal of [Tianquan], he can also get the seal of [Yuheng], and other seven-star official seals are no exception.
Do you still say you are lucky? Fortunately, the other party has an old relationship with the Emperor, so at least there is no need to worry about such a terrible thing happening.
Taking a deep breath secretly, Ning Guang quickly calmed down. In any case, although the other party is not considered a friend, it cannot be completely regarded as an enemy. This is undoubtedly a matter of joy.
Although we still need to be on guard, at least we don’t have to worry about things like the survival of the country.
"It is indeed true. It seems that I have been too tired recently and my memory has deteriorated. So, Mr. Zuo Xi, since you came here as promised in the invitation letter, what do you think about that matter?"
In fact, the time and place specified in the real invitation letter is to meet at Liuli Pavilion at noon tomorrow, but that is not important anymore. What Ningguang wanted to test this time was whether the other party knew the real content of the invitation, or whether the behavior just now was "disguising facts and distorting facts."
"Miss Ningguang, I know a few good doctors. Do you need help recommending them? Although I do admire Miss Ningguang's dedication and efficiency, you must also pay attention to your health."
Well, sure, he does know the contents of the invitation.
Looking at Zuo Xi's concerned expression, he listened to the other party's sincere greetings. Even Yi Ningguang's Chengfu only felt that he deserved a beating. It had been a long time since she wanted to hit someone so much.
From the beginning to now, the process of collecting information on my own has been extremely smooth. No matter how slow she is, she should have noticed that something is wrong - the other party has been deliberately cooperating with her tricks... her every move is predicted and manipulated by the other party.
The most critical and shocking thing is that every move of the other party is under her attention, and even stalking is accepted by default. Moreover, the other party would give him whatever information he wanted, and he was even worried that he would be suspicious and deliberately cooperate with his own tricks.
This kind of overt behavior was almost the same as humiliation, but even so, Ningguang was not going to admit defeat.
The duel is not over yet, she still has battlefields to fight for, and it is not time to give up yet.
Seeing that Ning Guang showed no signs of frustration, Zuo Xi was very satisfied.
Under normal circumstances, if another person had been subjected to such "humiliation" and "blow", he would have surrendered with the white flag. But Ningguang will not be defeated and will soon cheer up. This quality of not being afraid of failure and setbacks is a major reason for her success.
That's why he found it interesting. After all, the fox next door learned to lie down early after realizing the danger of not touching the bottom line. People like Ning Guang, who become more courageous with every setback, are interesting to tease.
