Chapter 230 As long as one opens one's mouth to speak...
Not long after, Ningguang returned.
Seeing that Bai Mu seemed to be instructing Naxida, she did not immediately interrupt, but stood quietly beside Bai Mu and watched.
After studying the camera created by the Great Tree King for a while, Shiraki suddenly looked up at Ningguang.
The girl had been standing there for a long time without making a sound, leaving Bai Mu completely baffled.
"Is there anything else you can do?"
"Uncle Bai, I've already sent people over there. Do you have any further instructions?"
Upon hearing this, Ningguang immediately asked.
She had been standing for a while, and her legs were starting to ache.
"It's okay now."
"Is there anything else? If not, I'll be going now."
Bai Mu shook his head and asked in return.
He had noticed Ningguang standing beside him for so long and assumed there was something else going on.
In retrospect, he misunderstood.
As expected, Ningguang shook her head at this moment.
"Uncle Bai, I'm fine too."
"That's fine."
"I'm leaving now. Please take good care of Nasita."
Ignoring Naxida's resentful look, Bai Mu left after saying this.
......
The teleportation portal at Qingce Village was already packed with people, and there were also some soldiers maintaining order outside the portal.
These soldiers were sent by Ningguang to maintain order.
Although Ningguang sent them to maintain order, judging from the current situation, these soldiers just stood there dumbfounded, not daring to care about the behavior of the old men from Qingce Village.
Since most of the old men in Liyue are retired in Qingce Village, there's no guarantee that their elders might be among them.
If you accidentally offend an elder, you shouldn't go back to celebrate the Lantern Festival.
...
"Grandma Ruoxin, we are here to maintain order on the orders of Lord Ningguang."
"But these elderly people are our elders after all, and it's not easy for us to manage them."
"Your Majesty the Divine Lord, Grandma Ruoxin, could you please say a few words on our behalf?"
"Shouldn't we at least keep the elderly away a bit?"
At this moment, a young Qianyan soldier quietly walked up to Ruoxin's side, who was not far away.
He was very clever; knowing that these elderly people were beyond his ability to manage, he found someone who could control them.
If Xin holds a high position in Qingce Manor and can be considered one of its leaders, then this Qianyan Army member has come to the right person.
Seeing this young junior come to ask for her help, Ruoxin gave him a kind smile.
She then walked to the center of the venue and waved, attracting the attention of the old men present.
"Please listen to what I have to say, everyone."
Meeting the gazes of everyone present, Ruoxin slowly spoke:
"Everyone, there's no need to rush. Could you please step back a little?"
“These young men are all juniors whom everyone has offended. They were sent by Tianquan Star to maintain order.”
"If possible, I hope everyone will take care of the younger generation."
Ruoxin holds a very high position in Qingce Village.
Since she had spoken, everyone present would naturally give her face.
And these people were unaware of the situation, which is why they all swarmed around the portal.
If they had known that the few people standing on the periphery like mannequins were junior members of the Thousand Rock Army maintaining order, they certainly wouldn't have acted so rashly.
If those few Thousand Rock soldiers had said a word, they wouldn't have gathered together like this.
"Dear elders and seniors, thank you for your cooperation."
"Please do not gather here. This area has now been taken over by our Qianyan Army. You can all go home now."
After everyone dispersed, the few Thousand Rock Army soldiers standing on the outer perimeter finally had a chance to squeeze into the inner circle.
The squad leader at the head of the group bowed respectfully to the elderly people, intending to ask them to leave.
However, no sooner had he finished speaking than a large slingshot landed on his head with lightning speed.
Accompanying the slap was a curse:
"What the hell are you spouting?!"
"His Holiness the Divine Lord told us to wait here, but you, brat, want us to go back?"
"Let the Sen'iwa Army take over? Did His Majesty order the Sen'iwa Army to take over?"
"We gave you face before, but now you're not giving us any face at all."
The force of the blow was a bit too much, causing the squad leader's mind to go blank.
It took him a while to realize who had hit him.
“Grandpa, we were just following orders and didn’t know His Majesty the God’s command.”
“But Grandpa, we came here on His Majesty’s orders.”
"To be precise, the order was issued by His Majesty to Lord Tianquan, and then Lord Tianquan issued it to us."
The squad leader said, feeling wronged.
During the time they had been here, except when they first came out of the portal, they had stayed on the outer perimeter and had no idea what was going on here.
If he had known Bai Mu's previous orders, how could he have dared to let these old guys go back?
"Alright, alright, the little guy doesn't know any of this, let's not talk about him anymore."
At this moment, Ruoxin came over and smoothed things over.
"Hmph, kid, you'd better watch yourself."
Before returning to the crowd, the old man didn't forget to give the squad leader another tap on the head.
......
"Stop arguing, let me say a few words."
A small door opened next to the large portal, and Shiroki slowly walked out from it.
Upon seeing Bai Mu, those old guys immediately shut their mouths.
The soldiers standing by the portal were somewhat bewildered by the sudden appearance of Bai Mu, and remained standing there dumbfounded.
"You all go down first, I need to talk to you about something."
Bai Mu turned to look at the soldiers and said softly.
"Uh...this one..."
One of the Chiiwa soldiers wanted to ask Shiraki about his identity.
But before he could speak, the captain covered his mouth and pulled him away.
Seeing his grandfather nod almost imperceptibly, the squad leader knew he had guessed Bai Mu's identity correctly.
"Please speak, we'll go down now."
Shiraki controlled his volume to ensure that everyone outside could hear him.
"You all probably already know the purpose of this portal, right?"
The audience nodded in agreement.
"I'm going to say a few things to note, so please listen carefully."
Upon hearing this, everyone became extremely alert, ready to listen to the "divine oracle."
"You can use the portal with confidence; there's no need to worry about its security."
"A powerful being has been maintaining this portal; he is very strong."
"As for how many are strong..."
"Perhaps a little bit better than him?"
Bai Mu casually pointed to the silver-haired old man closest to him.
