In fact, Ningguang had already begun planning the establishment of the Liyue delegation even before Miyashiro arrived in Liyue. However, Ganyu's selection as the chief envoy to Inazuma was decided after Miyashiro dealt with the God Osial, who was suppressed under Guyun Stone Forest.
To ensure Ganyu would willingly accept this task, Ningguang made various preparations, even using her own methods to relay the matter to Lord Rex Lapis.
Although Ningguang did not know that Zhongli's identity was the retired Lord Rex Lapis, as one of Liyue's Qixing and the human the Lord favored most, Ningguang still enjoyed some privileges that other Qixing did not.
After carefully weighing the pros and cons of the matter, Lord Rex Lapis finally informed Ningguang through a dream that the matter was feasible! He would also contribute to it!
That's right, Zhongli's true reason for going to Inazuma also included a part of Ningguang's plan.
Before their departure, Ningguang secretly gave Yelan a very difficult task: to bring Ganyu and Miyashiro closer!
This greatly shocked Yelan. Although she had heard about such things from Ningguang, she always thought it was just a joke. But now, Ningguang was serious, and her first move was to send Ganyu, a Qixing secretary, to Miyashiro.
When Yelan asked Ningguang why she chose Ganyu, Ningguang merely sighed faintly and said, "Because Ganyu is the most suitable."
Yelan was also a smart person; with just a little hint, she understood Ningguang's meaning.
It was not easy to push a woman on someone as powerful and top-tier as Miyashiro. If Miyashiro were a lustful demon who indulged in all women, the number of his women would probably stretch from Liyue Harbor's docks to Stone Gate.
But the reality was different. According to the intelligence she had gathered, although there were quite a few women with ambiguous relationships with Miyashiro, the only woman Miyashiro truly acknowledged at present was Shenhe.
In this situation, mere beauties would not suffice. So, Ningguang found another approach: if it was difficult to connect through Miyashiro, then connect through Shenhe.
Thus, Ganyu, as Shenhe's fellow disciple, naturally became Ningguang's primary target. Most importantly, Ganyu herself also had a good impression of Miyashiro, which Ningguang naturally noticed. Otherwise, she would not have dared to risk great disapproval by informing the Lord of this matter.
If the Lord did not agree, she would not have dared to do such a thing. However, Yelan was unaware of Ningguang's consultation with the Lord. She still thought this matter was Ningguang's idea from beginning to end, which also gave Yelan some different views and concerns about Ningguang.
Ningguang's schemes ran too deep!
If nothing unexpected happened, Ganyu's position as chief envoy for diplomacy would be her last official Liyue post.
Yelan snapped out of her memories, only to see that Ganyu had already accepted Miyashiro's invitation. Ganyu and Shenhe, as fellow disciples, were like sisters and both wielded Cryo, so their bond was naturally very deep. When Shenhe encountered a problem, how could Ganyu, as her senior, stand by and do nothing?
Seeing this, Yelan couldn't help but sigh. Watching Ganyu willingly jump into the fire pit, Yelan felt quite uneasy.
Afterward, Miyashiro exchanged a few simple pleasantries and then turned and left, returning to his Regent's Office. In any case, Sara, who slept next to Miyashiro, was completely sleepless tonight.
For the first time, she so utterly detested her Tengu physique. What was the point of having such good hearing?
The muffled sounds occasionally coming from next door made Sara's body feel like a red-hot iron, and she herself began to emit faint moans.
The night passed without incident.
When the servants in the backyard of the Regent's Office personally saw Shenhe emerge from Miyashiro's room, they finally realized: this magnificent Regent's Office had finally welcomed its mistress.
Although Miyashiro and Shenhe had not yet officially held a wedding, this cohabitation already explained everything.
It was just... the mistress wasn't Sara, who lived next door to the Regent. They couldn't quite understand. Wasn't it said that the one closest to the water gets the moon first? How did someone else get there first?
When Shenhe, radiant with the nourishment of Miyashiro, formally appeared in the Regent's Office, all the staff members there showed great respect for Shenhe.
However, their respect for Shenhe only stemmed from Miyashiro. If Shenhe could someday earn the respect of the Inazuma people through her own strength, then her position as Regent's wife would be as solid as a mountain.
In contrast, Lady Sara today seemed somewhat listless, as if she hadn't slept well. Especially the resentful look in Sara's eyes when she saw Miyashiro and Shenhe made the thin-skinned Shenhe involuntarily hit Miyashiro.
Miyashiro seemed to recall something and called out to the tired Sara, shamelessly saying, "Sara, what's wrong? You look like you haven't slept well?"
Sara couldn't help but roll her eyes at Miyashiro. Don't you know why I didn't sleep well? But she couldn't say that directly to Miyashiro, so she just asked, "Does the Family Head have any instructions?"
Miyashiro: "When I went to Mondstadt, I brought back a few things. Can you help me deal with them?"
With that, he waved his hand, and a massive dragon bone and a giant dragon corpse, torn in half, appeared upright in the training ground of the Regent's Office, causing many Tenryou Commission soldiers to widen their eyes, gather around, and discuss animatedly.
Sara was equally shocked and asked, "Regent, did you kill a giant dragon?"
Giant dragons, on the continent of Teyvat, were synonymous with power and fear. Many people lived their entire lives without ever seeing these legendary creatures, yet now a fresh dragon corpse lay before everyone. The sense of awe was simply ineffable.
Miyashiro: "Hmm, although it's a replica created by that 'Doctor,' it's still material of Adeptus-level. Sara, find someone to make good use of this dragon corpse to create a batch of dragon scale armor and dragon bone weapons, and bestow them upon loyal subordinates."
A hint of joy flashed in Sara's eyes. As a warrior who charged into battle, she knew too well how significantly good armor and weapons improved combat strength.
More importantly, the way this giant dragon died was clearly by being torn apart alive. Such immense power immediately reminded Sara of the Crow Tengu Warrior projection—Susanoo—that the Family Head had once displayed.
At this thought, Sara's gaze towards Miyashiro became even more fervent.
Miyashiro: "Oh, and Sara, I also brought you a gift. I wonder if you'll like it?"
