Chapter 18 : Invitation To The Jade Chamber!

Start from the beginning
                                    

[Iron Tongue Tian grows animated as he broaches the topic of Tianquan Ningguang's palace in the sky, the Jade Chamber. All become fascinated by the Tianquan as he tells her tale of ultra-secretive scheming and "paper snow..."]

Iron Tongue Tian:
"They say that when Lady Ningguang ponders important affairs, she retreats to her Jade Chamber with none but her three closest confidantes in tow. Why brings she these trusted three? To sift through sources, dig through documents - looking for information. Piece by piece, facts and figures paint a picture on the walls of the chamber... But well before the wall is filled, Lady Ningguang's mind is made up. Having made her call, she has every last document shredded. And fwoosh! she scatters the shavings out her window. Ah, look at them! How they billow in the wind like a sudden swirling blizzard! As the fragments fall, traces of text flicker before the eyes of the merchants of Liyue like ink stains in white snow. The saying goes, the rarest treasures in the land are the words brought by the paper snow. For the words of the Tianquan have the power to move mountains and all throughout the land know it. These are but scraps of paper, and yet they guide Lady Ningguang's hand - such is their value. Merely grasping one or two of them will surely gift you a fragment of her wisdom - enough to stay a step or two ahead of your peers."

[Iron Tongue Tian has just done telling the tale of Ningguang's Jade Chamber and he just step down from the stage.]
Paimon: "Tianquan Ningguang... feels like we're hearing this name a lot."
Musashi: "This is Ningguang we're talking about."
Paimon: "Liyue locals talk about her, the Fatui hate her, she's most likely the one who hid the Exuvia, and we saw her at the Rite of Descension... Paimon wonders what sort of person she is."

[All three of them fall into thought for a minute, until...]
????: "At last, I have found you, you who returned from Jueyun Karst."
Paimon: "W-Who's there?"

[Musashi, Lumine and Paimon looked around to find the source of that voice.]
Musashi: "Where's that voice coming from?"
Lumine: "Paimon! Musashi! We have to leave this place!"
????: "Wait, I am not with the Millelith, nor am I here to claim your bounty!"

[Then, the three of them look up and saw a girl stands on the roof of Third-Round Knockout. She is a young woman with pale blue hair, fading into a darker shade at the ends. Her hair is styled in a layered, chin-length cut with two shoulder-length locks in front and the back section left long. Similarly to Kaeya's hair, it is easy to mistake for a ponytail, though not actually tied by anything. Though she mostly resembles a human, she has black-red horns that bend back along her hair, similar to how a goat's horns look, with brighter red markings on them. She has purple multicolored heterochromatic eyes that fade into pink then gold. Her outfit consists of a black bodysuit with gold accents on the legs underneath a white and purple bodice with long ends similar to a tailcoat, with a separated pair of sleeves to match. The bodysuit meets at the back of her neck to make a bow. She has white heels with gold accents and gray bottoms, with red knots around her ankles. Her Cryo Vision rests on her left hip with a red cloverleaf knot. Her outfit, Frostdew Trail, is described to be as elegant clothing blessed by the mighty and illuminated adepti. Additionally, she wears a golden bell around her neck.]
