Winter Executor, starting with a system of wronged individuals.

Su Ming's lips twitched slightly. Wasn't that Sandone in the picture? What did that have to do with him, the hermit?

So all these people wearing white stockings are here to lure him in, is that it?

Would Su Ming, the 12th seat of the Executive Officer and a recluse, be seduced by these shallow and laughable white silks?

meeting!

Su Ming silently breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the desire for the treasure chest suppressed Bai Si for a short time, otherwise he would have been sent to the Thousand Rock Army dungeon to eat government food by now.

No wonder Sandonne hesitated and seemed to want to say something before leaving, but in the end she only vaguely said, "I'm sorry, Su Ming, but you did it first before I did it!"

Su Ming now understood. This was Sandone's revenge on him for using the name of a puppet to act as a white-stocking pervert. It hurt, it hurt so much!

But even if he becomes a white-stockinged pervert, what will the people of the Seven Stars of Liyue do when they see a suspect whose gender doesn't even match?

It's impossible for a little girl to suddenly grow into a 1.8-meter-tall man in just one month, right? Even explaining it as puberty wouldn't be very likely; this is simply a mutation.

"Hey, you..."

A serious female voice suddenly sounded behind Su Ming. He turned around and saw a girl with a purple cat head looking at him with a serious expression.

Ke Qing glanced at the wanted poster next to Su Ming's head, then looked at Su Ming again, her eyes sharpening.

"You must be the hermit."

Chapter 159 Young Master Su~

“Ningguang, something’s not right… Do you really think a girl like that would say such things?”

Ke Qing frowned, finally realizing the anomaly she had sensed earlier. The little girl who called herself Su Ming was clearly a woman, and even if she was an executor, she couldn't possibly be a hermit.

"Could it be that they intend to use the Seven Stars of Liyue to eliminate the Executor?"

Keqing, I understand!

There is only one truth: the girl who called herself Su Ming must have been forced to come up with this method of seeking help. If Su Ming is indeed the white-silk pervert, then it is indeed possible to be on guard.

Ningguang nodded slightly after hearing this. Although the reasoning process of the cat-like creature might not be correct, the result still had some credibility.

"Based on my deduction, the real Su Ming should be male, about 1.8 meters tall, with an unusual obsession with white stockings, fierce and menacing, and an elite among the executives."

Ke Maomao nodded slightly, her expression serious. "They are a formidable opponent."

If what the girl said is true, the Hermits will probably arrive in Liyue soon. In that case, we need to conduct a covert investigation of the ships and vehicles coming from Winter Solstice.

The unusually high-profile Rich Man is naturally a key target of Keqing's attention. As one of the few sightseeing boats in winter, its arrival outside of holidays still attracts some attention.

Keqing observed everyone disembarking from the ship at the port, and a certain guy with a maidservant by his side quickly caught her attention.

Male, correct.

Around 1.8 meters tall, that's correct.

He pushed the maid aside and ran away, looking fierce and menacing—that's correct.

The direction they were heading towards had a lot of white silk, and they had an unusual obsession with white silk. They hit the nail on the head!

This guy really is a hermit!

Keqing confirmed the target's identity and followed him until she saw the target admiring the wanted poster. He was incredibly arrogant!

"You must be the hermit."

Ke Qing pursed her cherry lips, a look of vigilance flashing in her eyes, and a hint of lightning flashing in her diamond-shaped pupils.

As the star of Yuheng, she has an obligation to eliminate the threat in advance and must not allow this white-stockinged pervert to run rampant in Liyue Harbor!

Su Ming's lips twitched slightly. He stood next to the wanted poster, pointed to his face, and said, "Look at this face. Does she look like me?"

Even though they're of different genders, why should this be pinned on him?

Su Ming glanced at Ke Qing's white stockings and his pupils dilated instantly. Who else could this be? Ke Qing, the cat, wears white stockings?

Is there such a good thing?

"I will not change my name or surname, I am the seventh puppet of the Foolish People's Executive Officer."

Su Ming calmly walked to the opposite side of Keqing and stared intently at the white stockings. He realized that Liyue was truly a paradise for white stockings. Although he had no idea what had happened, the presence of white stockings was a good thing!

White silk is a sign of good civilization!

Why not just give up your Winterhold registration and switch to Liyue? Everyone in Winterhold is covered up so tightly that there's hardly any chance to see white stockings. Liyue, on the other hand, is full of walking white stockings. It's practically paradise!

"I'm so sorry, my young master is running around again. I'm really sorry!"

Just as Su Ming was about to give his (perverted) acceptance speech, he was dragged away by Linglan, leaving the bewildered Ke Mao Mao standing there.

"Brother Su Ming!"

"You've only been in Liyue for less than two hours! That person is one of the Seven Stars of Liyue. How did you manage to offend such a powerful figure so quickly?!"

With her hands on her hips, Linglan said coquettishly, "Can't you just stay in the room and wait for my white silk?"

Su Ming chuckled dryly. He couldn't really blame himself. Logically speaking, Ke Qing had come to him on her own; he just wanted those shiny raw stones.

After playing for almost an hour, I've gained a total of 150 Primogems, which is roughly equivalent to a single pull. As the saying goes, single pulls can bring miracles, so this is equivalent to getting a Zhongli!

"By the way, this is a letter received by the Northern Bank. Only you can open it."

Linglan didn't forget her business. She handed the envelope to Su Ming and leaned closer to him, curious to see what was so mysterious.

Su Ming was also somewhat bewildered. The letter had been sent from all the way to the winter, but he had only been gone for three days.

[Opened by the Hermit]

The Queen has decreed that the Hermit is now in charge of the Northern Bank's operations in Liyue, and is tasked with gathering intelligence while awaiting the Prince's arrival.

The letter, though only a short line, contained a wealth of information. It was retrieved from the Northern Bank, so its authenticity was beyond doubt, especially since it also bore the seal of the Ice Palace.

"Huh?" Linglan was a little confused. "What does Her Majesty mean?"

"Her Majesty the Queen means we can have a paid vacation in Liyue!"

Su Ming placed his hands on the little nun's shoulders, his eyes sparkling, "Simply put, it's a... hot... holiday!"

Wuhu!

Never before has there been such a wonderful assignment! Paid leave! And I get to be in charge of the development of the Northern Bank!

Linglan's lips twitched slightly. So you mean... if we let Su Mingge build the Northern Bank, are you sure it won't go bankrupt soon due to insufficient funds?

Was Her Majesty truly not hypnotized?

Linglan fell into deep suspicion; otherwise, why would she hand over the Northern Bank to Su Mingge… Oh well, she was just a waitress anyway.

"Don't worry, with me here, the Northern Bank will definitely become the wealthiest bank in Teyvat!"

Su Ming patted his chest and assured her, but Linglan smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes," though she didn't believe him.

"Young Master Su, I checked out the inn beforehand, and... the bed is very soft!"

Linglan's pretty face flushed slightly, but she couldn't help but feel a little expectant. In Liyue, no one could bother her anymore.

"What kind of address is that?"

Su Ming was silent for a few seconds, then realized it was quite nice. He then imagined Linglan calling out "Young Master" while extending the jailer's hand – it was simply a beautiful scene!

Lily smiled gently, "Isn't this a common name in Liyue? I did my homework beforehand." As the executor's attendant, she had seriously studied the relevant geography, culture, and cuisine of Liyue beforehand, so she certainly wasn't just trying to freeload!

"Or do you want me to call you something else, Xiang~"

Linglan playfully stuck out her tongue, grabbed Su Ming's arm, and led him toward the inn.

The holiday was such a pleasant surprise; we had to spend every day together and have a blast!

Unfortunately, although Brother Su Ming has always been a pervert, he has never actually laid a hand on her because she was not legally married. However, the expression on Sister Sandone's face that I saw earlier was really comforting.

Su Ming was thinking that he could finally rest for a while. If he continued to stay in Winter City, he would definitely be squeezed to death by Sandone.

Lily of the Valley doesn't seem to have much desire; she only gets into sex occasionally. Little nuns are much better.

Su Ming collapsed onto the bed as soon as he returned to the inn. Linglan was right; the bed was very soft and very large.

The guesthouse is not an ordinary guesthouse; it's more like an independent villa. You can tell the price is also high, but it probably doesn't compare to the annual Mora required for the Goethe Hotel.

The room is not luxurious; on the contrary, it is filled with a rich classical style, allowing you to fully appreciate the long history of Liyue. Even the teacups and bamboo chairs are very distinctive.

"Master Su."

As soon as Su Ming raised his head, Linglan's bare feet were already stretched out in front of him.

Chapter 160 Let's make our Winter's business bigger and stronger in Liyue!

"Does Young Master Su dislike lilies of the valley?"

Linglan's pretty face flushed slightly. She lowered her jade feet and gently knelt on the bed, grasping Su Ming's arm and revealing a shy smile.

Su Ming was so shocked that he could only drink some tea to calm his nerves. Linglan was really good at this. Compared to Sandoni's coy approach that required him to take the initiative, Linglan was more like driving a tractor and running him over.

The tea in the inn is a very precious variety, and a cup of warm tea, emitting wisps of white smoke, is already placed on the tea table.

"Lily of the Valley, we still need to focus on our work right now," Su Ming said, taking a sip of tea. The tea was fragrant, but had a strange taste, though he didn't pay it any mind.

This tea must have been brewed for him by Linglan herself, so there's definitely nothing wrong with it. How could the little nun harm him?

Wait a minute...?

Did you brew it yourself, Lily of the Valley?

Su Ming stared at the perfectly warm tea in his cup, then glanced at the instigator who had driven him to this point.

Linglan smiled sweetly, "Brother Suming, you must be tired from your journey. Please rest well before you go to work."

"The tea...the tea is poisoned!"

Su Ming never expected that the little nun would go to such an unscrupulous level, so he could only—silently enjoy it!

He immediately fainted, his vision went black, and was caught by a warm body before he fell to the ground. Linglan couldn't bear to see Su Ming fall to the ground, so she had prepared to catch him in advance.

As the hermit's attendant, he naturally had the right to scout out the inn in advance, and could even tamper with the tea without anyone noticing.

A winter specialty, Snow Lotus Sleep Aid Powder. Just one packet is all it takes to drift off to sleep peacefully, with no side effects and outstanding results. You deserve to have it.

“Brother Su Ming…” Linglan exhaled a warm breath and gently held his fingers.
