"Hehe... There are indeed very few people who are fortunate enough to be invited to Qunyu Pavilion."
"I never expected that even Mr. Qiu Nian, who had only recently arrived in Liyue Harbor, would be invited."
"I guess it's because of you guys."
Zhongli chuckled upon hearing this, glanced at Qiu Nian beside him, and then spoke to Ying and Paimon.
"Ha ha..."
"I feel the same way."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Nian agreed.
"Go ahead, but don't forget about the matter of sending off the immortals."
"After returning from Qunyu Pavilion, our next meeting point will be Dihua Island."
Zhongli looked at Ying and Paimon in front of him and gave them a reminder.
"Yes, we won't forget."
"And even if we forget, Qiu Nian will remind us."
Paimon nodded upon hearing this, then looked at Qiu Nian beside him and said.
So, Qiu Nian, Ying, and Pai Meng set off on their way to Qunyu Pavilion.
"I want to meet a very wealthy person like Ningguang."
"Shouldn't we prepare some gifts for our first meeting?"
Paimon seemed to have thought of something and asked Qiu Nian and Ying.
"A gift...?"
"I happen to have a wonderful gift here."
"This should be enough as a gift."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Nian spoke to Ying and Paimon beside him.
"Qiu Nian, are you sure you can do it?"
"Besides, you're so poor, while Ningguang is incredibly wealthy."
"How could I possibly want your gift?"
Paimon found this very unreliable.
"Yes, after all, you just started working at the Rebirth Hall today."
"They probably won't be paying salaries that soon, right?"
Ying also felt somewhat puzzled.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Nian's lips twitched slightly.
It seems that the image of being poor is deeply ingrained in Ying and Paimon's minds.
There's an old saying in Liyue: "A small gift carries great meaning."
"Don't worry."
Qiu Nian turned her head and looked at the brightly lit and bustling Liyue Harbor under the night sky, and spoke.
"I still have some concerns."
"Why don't you take out the gift and let us see it?"
Paimon looked at Qiu Nian beside him and made a suggestion.
"Um..."
Qiu Nian stopped in her tracks upon hearing this.
He then took out a black jade plaque about two inches in size.
There are also indistinct patterns carved on it.
Chapter 30 Meeting Gift
"Is this the gift you were talking about?"
"A pitch-black jade pendant?"
Paimon looked at the jade pendant in Qiu Nian's hand and asked, somewhat bewildered.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Nian chuckled softly and then pointed the jade pendant at a lamp.
The light easily penetrated the dark jade plaque.
It presented an extremely bright and beautiful turquoise color.
The carved patterns on it became clear at this moment.
It was a koi carp leaping out of the pond.
"So...so beautiful!"
Paimon stared at the jade, almost mesmerized.
"It's really beautiful."
"This is the first time I've ever seen such beautiful jade."
Ying nodded in surprise upon hearing this.
"This is a natural black jade of extremely high quality."
"And the pattern on it was carved by me personally."
Qiu Nian looked at the black jade in her hand and explained it to Ying and Paimon.
As for how he acquired this piece of black jade.
He thought the piece of black jade was quite beautiful at the time.
He took a small portion of it while crushing the outer shell of the rough stone.
He had already refined this piece of black jade into something that could be used for storage.
The space inside is only about one cubic meter.
Even disregarding the value of the material and carving of black jade itself.
Its ability to store things alone makes it a worthless treasure.
He created it out of boredom.
"I didn't expect you to know carving, Qiu Nian?"
Paimon looked at the black jade in Qiu Nian's hand and said with great admiration.
"Know a thing or two."
"It's just one of my little hobbies."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Nian gave Paimon a faint smile.
"let's go."
"This piece of black jade should be enough as a gift for our first meeting."
After Qiu Nian finished speaking, he led Ying and Pai Meng toward the direction of Yujingtai.
Upon arriving at the destination, they found a man named Bu Yun.
After exchanging the secret code.
The three of them then stepped onto a platform with a floating stone base.
The platform then carried Qiu Nian and the other two towards the Jade Pavilion in the sky.
Ningguang was standing on the Jade Pavilion, her beautiful eyes gazing at Liyue Harbor below.
Behind her were her two trusted confidants, Bai Shi and Bai Wen.
"Mr. Qiu Nian..."
“He lives in the outer area of Jueyunjian, is handsome, and is an old friend of Mr. Zhongli from Wangshengtang.”
"We came to Liyue Harbor together with the travelers who returned from Jueyun Karst."
"He also worked with the travelers to complete the relevant treatise on sending off immortals."
"Later, through Mr. Zhongli's introduction, he became a guest elder of the Hall of Rebirth."
Ningguang lowered her chin with one hand and murmured to herself.
Its origins are truly mysterious...
It's as if someone appeared out of nowhere.
She had been observing Qiu Nian from the shadows for so long, but she hadn't noticed anything unusual.
It turns out that Mr. Qiu Nian hid it very well...
Or was he originally just a hermit living in Jueyun?
However, since he was also caught up in the vortex, and it was related to that traveler from a foreign land.
Let's invite her up here so she can meet us in person.
Before long, Qiu Nian and the other two ascended to the Qunyu Pavilion.
"Wow..."
"Is this the Jade Pavilion? It's so huge!"
Paimon was astonished as she looked at the enormous palace that lay before her.
"Indeed, whether it's the magnificent appearance or the height that overlooks Liyue."
"They are all breathtaking."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Nian nodded in agreement.
