Original God, but the real world

Chapter 65 64-Worth it
After leaving the Hall of Rebirth, Jiang Qing's expression became somewhat stiff.

This special food is worthy of the evaluation that "the plate is filled with extremely high-level delicacies that bombard the taste buds to the point of complete failure."

He has confirmed that the description is true.

But these are small things.

As long as the goal can be achieved, the means and what happens in between don’t matter.

He went to many places today, and it cannot be said that no accidents happened, but fortunately the result was still good.

But now there's one last place to go.

"It's too late. Forget it." Jiang Qing let out a long sigh. "Why not do it tomorrow?"

In fact, this job was the last thing on his mind in his plan.

Repay the money.

He had no plans to continue running his own business.

The Jiang family’s business was not small before, but it was not huge either, otherwise the head of the family wouldn’t have to go there in person.

After the bankruptcy, everything in Jiang Qing's home was taken away.

The last thing he had to do was to buy these things back and then sell the family business.

The price doesn't matter, but the process must be handled by him personally.

This is Jiang Qing’s last debt.

It was also because of this debt that he had to choose to start from Mondstadt and then return to Liyue.

From now on, he can devote himself to pursuing a higher future in this world.

······
"You seem very happy?"

Eula was a little surprised.

The chat with Yan Fei was actually not long.

She was never able to do what she had promised Jiang Qing, and she hugged Yan Fei's thighs and cried about her current difficult situation.

In fact, it took a lot of determination for her to just be honest about her current situation.

"I have a...rich lady as my teacher, and she is also very good at fighting." Jiang Qing had no such concerns and was very frank, "If nothing unexpected happens, she will be my future."

As for this thigh, I am determined to hold on to it, brother.

"You don't have to say it. I know you definitely didn't succeed." Jiang Qing glanced at her and was not surprised at the result at all.

Youla pursed her lips, her face rarely showing a slightly drunken red.

She understood her situation and knew that this was not the time to be particular about anything.

But if you can't do it, you can't do it.

Any crisis will happen in the future.

If it is not something from the present, it has no coercive power.

"It's okay." Jiang Qing patted Youla's shoulder and comforted her softly, "It's better this way. The less you say, the more she cares about you."

Who makes Yan Fei a good person?

"This way if we really run into any trouble, she will help you even if you don't ask her for help."

Obviously this kind of comfort is useless.

Eula also realized that Jiang Qing had no expectations at all.

"By the way, I sold the [Secret Covenant of Leeward]." Jiang Qing said nonchalantly, "If we are lucky, we can find a backer. If we are unlucky, we can only change our identities and Mora and start over here."

"Let's start over again." She sat next to Jiang Qing with a calm tone.

"That's right." Jiang Qing said with a smile, "You are a noble, so show some of the arrogance and pride of a noble."

"What are we afraid of?"

"There's no need to be so humble and feel like you're owed something."

This wasn't a request for help. Jiang Qing couldn't quite understand why Eula felt inferior there.

Helping is true, but “asking”?
That's true, but demands and requests are not the same thing.

Logically speaking, she saved people first and then asked for something in return.

This could certainly be considered as repaying a favor, but even if it was repaying a favor, this life-saving favor was something she had worked really hard for.

It's not a bad thing to ask for something in return after doing a favor, right? Where in the world do so many unreasonable helping hands come from?

Why should you be so cautious and feel like you owe something?

What's the worst that could happen?
Eula held a considerable amount of Mora in her hands, and with a group of the last elites left by Lawrence, she established herself in Liyue.

This situation is already very good.

Jiang Qing asked her to contact Yan Fei and choose Hu Tao herself because neither of them wanted to start over.

With these two people as a guarantee, they can revitalize their family business as quickly as possible and skip the initial accumulation that ordinary people have to go through.

Like business.

In business, you need to build up integrity little by little and accumulate funds.

But if Yan Fei could provide the guarantee, they would be able to instantly raise the level of their partners to the level of large chambers of commerce like Feiyun Chamber of Commerce.

The other party did not value Youla and Jiang Qing, but Yan Fei.

But what does it matter?

It's still business with them.

They borrowed Yan Fei's prestige and status just as a stepping stone, and they still had to negotiate the business behind it themselves.

Yan Fei does have a powerful background, but she is not a bad person.

Her status is not enough to make those businessmen do business at a loss.

Unless she is willing to use her identity as a descendant of immortal blood to do evil, her deterrent power is far less than that of the Seven Stars.

The Seven Stars can make any businessman do business at a loss, because they can not only control the business, but also control the lives of these people.

They don't have to actually do these things, as long as people know they can do these things, businessmen will naturally give up certain interests in order to cooperate.

In other words, money to buy your life.

Yan Fei doesn't have that kind of deterrent power.

Because as everyone knows, immortals and Liyue people exist from two different worlds.

So what can we do? Yan Fei's identity is just a stepping stone, but it will not let the other party do business at a loss.

If Youla and Jiang Qing didn't do well, they would be kicked out immediately.

Saving my life in exchange for a chance to knock on the door, do I feel guilty about this?

If it doesn't work, then it doesn't work. At worst, I can just start over with these people.

Jiang Qing didn't care.

In his current status, no choice is unique.

For any result, there is a second way to achieve it.

Because he is unimportant, that's all.

Eula is different.

She had put too much of a burden on herself.

She always thought that she was Lawrence's only future. She dared not fail, could not fail, and was unwilling to fail.

But Jiang Qing didn't care at all.

"Thank you." Eula pursed her lips, "Sorry."

Until now, Jiang Qing has been the one who loses face most of the time.

This person actually fulfilled the promise he made when he asked her to study.

Don't care about face at all.

Jiang Qing shrugged and smiled nonchalantly.

There are two things that are difficult for people: knowing that they have value and acknowledging that their value is limited.

Jiang Qing did both of these things very well.

When he was in Mond, no one took him seriously, but Jiang Qing valued himself. He was sure that his life was more valuable than anything else, so he had to live forever.

Even helping "Jiang Qing" repay his debts was not the top priority in his arrangements.

But now, he knew that he was nothing in the eyes of others, so his choice was unrestrained.

He dares to try all possible options.

"I don't want to teach people how to do things." Jiang Qing said, "I also think that you are more beautiful now than when you are willing to lower yourself."

"Keep your options open. Things aren't so hard that you have to give up anything."

It's good to have your own persistence. There's no need to do everything as if you only have one chance.

Show Hand forever? That's not necessary.

Even if you are a gambling monster, you can't win every time.

It never goes wrong to leave yourself some wiggle room.

Youla turned her head and looked at Jiang Qing beside her.

This face is very familiar. When teaching Xifeng swordsmanship, she was the one who dragged Jiang Qing back to the carriage many times.

She had paid attention to this aspect. After all, it seemed that this person's talent could only rely on his face and mouth to make a living.

Jiang Qing looked at the sea in the distance with a calm expression.

He was certainly not recalling his own journey across the ocean, but there was indeed an opponent over there who left a more profound impression on him than the Fatui.

"But a coward is not worthy of loving others. Those who are loved by him will only be unhappy. A coward is not worthy of owning precious things. Even if he gets them by chance, he will accidentally break them."

He recited it softly, as if he were singing a church hymn.

Yet his tone was calm and indifferent.

Eula once had the opportunity to realize this, when Lawrence was facing a life or death decision.

But this power of choice was blocked by her elders.

The other party knew very well how difficult this choice was for Eula, so he considerately made the choice on her behalf.

In the end, she just accepted it all.

As long as she doesn't make a choice, it seems that this matter has nothing to do with her, so Lawrence's death has nothing to do with her.

She was just a lucky survivor.

"Decide whether they live or die." Eula curled up her legs and hugged her knees.

She tucked her chin between her knees and let her hair cover her eyes.

"Lawrence's future was decided that night, and I...was only responsible for staying alive."

Eula looked at the old man's arrangements.

Watch him arrange the family business, decide what should be returned to Mond and what can be taken away.

Watching... a few people survived, while most were abandoned to die.

This is not an explanation to Mondstadt, this is an explanation from Mondstadt nobleman Lawrence to Barbatos, the god of wind.

"Two thousand years ago, Lawrence chose Barbatos, and finally enjoyed the grace of the gods and became a great noble in Mondstadt."

"One night two thousand years later, Lawrence, who had been blessed by the gods, returned the grace and left Mondstadt cleanly."

Yura said softly.

In that environment, the pressure of life and death was too great.

So Eula didn't decide, she was decided.

She spoke very seriously and in a low voice, as if she was planning to confide in someone.

So Jiang Qing couldn't help laughing out loud.

Of course it's clean.

Almost everyone died.

But this is what man and God are like.

No choice is free, and God's grace is not free either.

We have received God's grace, but we have to betray the freedom given by God.

So...
"Serves you right," he said.

Before he could react, a jade-colored arm was pressed against his abdomen.

The elbow stopped at his abdomen.

Based on Jiang Qing's understanding of the owner of this pair of arms, which were not weak but equally beautiful, this elbow strike might send him to the hospital for emergency treatment.

This was of course dangerous, but she stopped after all.

Jiang Qing reached out and grasped Youla's wrist, then placed her back on the girl's lap.

"Very funny?" Eula raised her head.

"A little bit." Jiang Qing did not deny it.

After he did this, even if Eula really had any sadness, it was suppressed.

She stood up and grabbed Jiang Qing's right hand.

"Let's go back and practice swordplay."

She no longer bears grudges.

This is not Mondstadt, and she is not Lawrence of Mondstadt.

If there is a grudge now, revenge will often be taken on the spot.

"Then you better hurry up." Jiang Qing was not nervous at all, "Didn't I tell you that I took your things to become a disciple, and the teacher is a beautiful, long-legged, wealthy woman."

He also deliberately concealed some information and then emphasized the word "big".

"In a few days I will stop learning the West Wind Sword Technique and start learning the secret family technique instead."

"If you don't teach well, you won't have another chance later."

Eula paused.

She turned around and looked Jiang Qing up and down.

Jiang Qing didn't seem nervous at all, he straightened his back calmly.

"what are you looking."

"Your bones are the hardest there." Eula said frankly, "You have a deep understanding of the West Wind Sword Art. I decided to teach you the more profound parts."

"I need to get to know your physical condition better."

She no longer felt sad.

Jiang Qing laughed and said, "What's the point of just looking at it?"

He said meaningfully, "Pull it out for practice."

"Of course, I think so too." Eula showed a pure smile.

She is not an ice beauty, but she rarely smiles.

For a moment, Jiang Qing was actually tempted.

The aroma that hits you in the face and the girl's simple smile are really heart-stirring.

However, Jiang Qing remained calm, "Then shall we go?"

"Let's go." She agreed simply.

There is no need to describe the second half of the story in detail.

With Jiang Qing's current level, dealing with Eula is really just what she said, let me see where your bone is the hardest.

Fortunately, she knew that there would be a business meeting tomorrow, and Jiang Qing would still have to rely on his mouth to fool others, so he was restrained in his actions.

He simply passed the essence of West Wind Swordsmanship to Jiang Qing.

Of course, it is well known that Jiang Qing's talent is average.

He definitely won’t be able to learn if I teach him directly, so I can only let his body learn it first.

After nightfall, Jiang Qing, who was thrown into the medicine barrel, pressed his chin on the edge of the barrel, using a special posture of "hanging himself from a southeast branch" to ensure that he would not sink.

This was his last bit of stubbornness.

The light blue interface in front of him gradually unfolded, showing Jiang Qing’s gains for the day.
