Seeing the lady's smiling face, the young man really wanted to rush up and fight her.

But no matter what, he's currently locked up in jail, and his immediate priority is to get out. The only person who can help him is the lady.

However, the lady clearly did not intend to take such a risk, because the negotiation process with Seven Stars was indeed very troublesome. If she could come up with several billion to redeem the young master and others, Seven Stars would naturally be happy to do so. Unfortunately, she could not and would not be able to come up with the money.

"Find Su Chen, yes, find Su Chen for help!" The young master suddenly remembered his good friend, "He has a very good relationship with Ning Guang, if he can help, it will definitely be possible."

"Su Chen? Is he related to Ning Guang?"

The lady was stunned.

"Yeah, how should I put it? I was actually a little surprised too, but he really does have a good relationship with Ningguang... Haha~ Yes, as long as he goes to Ningguang and says a few words, he'll definitely succeed."

The young master, oblivious to the lady's odd expression, chuckled, "Actually, I suspect Ningguang likes Brother Su Chen. Otherwise, given her status, why would she be so nice to Su Chen? Anyway, lady, please pass on a message for me, saying that I'll invite him and Mr. Zhongli for drinks when I go out."

The woman remained silent for a moment.

"Not interested in."

Turn around and leave.

"Hey! Ma'am, where are you going? Could you please pass on a message for me?"

The young master was dumbfounded. What happened to the agreement that everyone was an executive officer, a colleague, and would help each other?

"What's wrong with this girl? She seems angry?" The young master scratched his head, really not understanding why the lady was angry.

Did he say something wrong?

...

The ritual to summon the immortals concluded successfully, and the crisis of the demon god was completely resolved.

The situation in Liyue Harbor is slowly returning to its previous state.

Heyu Teahouse.

If you're looking for the best place to drink tea and listen to music in Liyue, this is definitely one of the best. Liyue's music has been refined over thousands of years and has evolved step by step to become one of the unique characteristics of Liyue.

At this moment.

The singer performing on the stage is Yun Jin, the leading lady of the Yunhan Society.

When Mr. Yun put on a show, the audience was naturally packed. In addition, after so many days of turmoil, many people who were addicted to theatrical performances had been itching to perform.

When the performance ended, thunderous applause erupted from the audience.

"Mr. Yun is still as amazing as ever. I haven't listened to him for half a month, but I was actually quite moved today."

"How rare! Who would have thought that such ordinary days of drinking tea and listening to music could be so precious?"

"Yes, the peace we enjoy is not something we should take for granted; it is the result of the protection provided by Lord Rock and all the immortals."

Having experienced this upheaval, many citizens of Liyue have begun to reflect on the past. They used to be focused on making money, but now they have been awakened and realized that ordinariness is the true essence of life.

Of course, this doesn't mean you shouldn't make money. Liyue isn't Mondstadt after all. As a trade hub in Teyvat, the fast-paced lifestyle under prosperity still dominates. Only when you've truly made enough money and want to live a relaxed and carefree life will you slow down.

For example, Su Chen and Zhong Li, who are sitting in the corner at this moment.

"Whenever Ms. Yun performs, you must come here to listen. She is the leader of Liyue opera and has innovative ideas, which is extremely rare." Zhongli commented on Yun Jin's performance just now.

He was a man who knew a little about everything, and he never gave people the impression of pretending to know what he didn't. Whenever he spoke, his content was so relevant that it often attracted the attention of those around him. Over time, Mr. Zhongli's reputation for being erudite spread.

"It is Yun Jin's honor to have won Mr. Zhongli's appreciation."

a voice sounded.

Yun Jin, who had already removed her makeup and changed into casual clothes, came over. She had noticed Zhong Li while she was singing, so she was in a hurry to come over.

Yun Jin was an extremely beautiful girl. She was not tall, but she spoke and acted with grace, like a lady from a respectable family.

In fact, these are all things that you practice regularly. That's how you perform traditional opera. If you get used to it on a daily basis, you won't make mistakes on stage.

"And this is..." Yun Jin's gaze shifted.

"Hello Mr. Yun, my name is Su Chen."

“This is my friend,” Zhongli introduced.

"So it's Mr. Su Chen. Mr. Zhongli rarely brings people to watch operas."

Seeing how the two interacted, Yun Jin knew their relationship was special. She treated them as kindred spirits and called over the waiter to refill their teapot with a pot of good tea before asking, "May I sit here?"

Zhongli nodded slightly: "Of course."

"I just heard you talking about this opera. It is quite novel and unique. I am also very familiar with the script of 'The Human Emperor Slaying the Evil Dragon'. I studied it when I was a child and I like it very much. Mr. Zhongli, could you tell me more about it?"

Yun Jin said sincerely.

The stories sung in the opera are mostly from Liyue's past, with the most stories about the Human Emperor and the Emperor. Then, some famous rumors are selected, written into plays, and then rehearsed and sung.

But a story is just a story. After so many years, who knows if it's true or not?

Therefore, the content of the script is often the most troublesome part of a play. Yun Jin herself has also written plays and knows the difficulty of this profession.

"I don't actually know much about the story of the Human Emperor slaying the evil dragon, but my friend does." Zhongli handed the floor to Su Chen.

"Oh?" Yun Jin was somewhat surprised. "Mr. Su Chen, could you please tell me?"

Su Chen was helpless. Zhong Li, that old guy, kept throwing problems at him all the time. It had happened so many times along the way.

"The Human Emperor slaying the evil dragon... Actually, at that time, the Human Emperor was not yet famous in Liyue. It is said that a person surnamed Ji from the Xuanyuan clan led his people out of Tianheng Mountain and found a strange mine in the mountains. He made an agreement with the local stone immortal that he could only take it by slaying the evil dragon, so this happened."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a guest at the next table said, "That's not right. It seems that the evil dragon attacked the Ji tribe, and the Human Emperor intervened to protect his people."

Yun Jin was silent for a moment, then asked Su Chen, "What happened next?"

Su Chen said, "After that, the Human Emperor was born with divine strength, and his strength was already far beyond that of ordinary people. He was more than capable of dealing with the evil dragon. However, that dragon could spray venom, so the Human Emperor specially prepared an antidote before killing it. After killing it, the Stone Immortal gave him ore and helped him forge it into a weapon, which is now the Xuanyuan Sword."

"Pfft~" The person next door laughed, "What you're saying is even more unbelievable than a storybook. Even people who have seen it with their own eyes can't tell it as well as you. The Xuanyuan Sword is the Holy King's Sword. It was a divine weapon that fell from the sky when the Human Emperor was born. Many books say that."

“I studied archaeology, so I know about this,” another person said. “There is such a thing as the Poisonous Dragon, but the Human Emperor sought out the Stone Immortal to create weapons and equipment for his people, which has nothing to do with the Xuanyuan Sword. That is a sacred imperial weapon, nurtured by heaven and earth, and how could a Stone Immortal possibly create it?”

Su Chen shook his head: "The reason why the Xuanyuan Sword was able to become a sacred imperial weapon is because it was later nurtured by the power of the Human Emperor."

"Come on, you haven't seen it with your own eyes. I've been researching for so many years, specializing in the history of the Human Emperor. Tell me, do you know more about the Human Emperor than I do?" the man said repeatedly. "Mr. Yun, you must not listen to him. If he changes the storybook into a mess, you'll be the one who suffers."

Su Chen smiled without saying a word.

Yun Jin simply nodded slightly but didn't say anything. Although Su Chen's account differed from historical records, she had a feeling that this was the correct version.

The claim that the Xuanyuan Emperor's weapons were sent from heaven actually implies a deification of the human emperor. Yun Jin is more inclined to believe that it was a personal interpretation added by the historian who compiled the history, reflecting his reverence for the human emperor.

Just then, a surprised voice suddenly rang out.

"You...you're Grandpa Luo?!"

Everyone turned around and saw that it was Master Fan, the owner of the teahouse.

At this moment, the boss looked shocked, his face filled with disbelief.

Su Chen raised an eyebrow: "You know me?"

"Is it really you?!" Master Fan said excitedly. "Grandpa Luo, it's me! I was starving to death on the roadside back then. It was your kindness that brought me into the Luo family, which saved my life. Later, when you left the Luo family, I left too and continued to run this teahouse."

"Oh." Su Chen nodded. "I forgot."

Master Fan's expression froze for a moment, then he chuckled awkwardly, "It's normal that someone like you wouldn't remember, but I've always kept you in my heart... I heard you left the Luo family to seek immortality, did you succeed?"

Upon hearing this, those around realized that the person in front of them was an important figure.

"He's actually that old man, Luo Chen?!"

"Lokkin, the business magnate of Liyue... Hiss! He's still alive? How come he's getting younger and younger?"

"Seeking immortality and enlightenment, they must have found a celestial being to impart the secrets to immortality!"

Hearing the surrounding chatter, Yun Jin was even more surprised. She had naturally heard of Old Master Luo's reputation, but he had been missing for forty years, and there were very few people in Liyue Harbor who could recognize him, let alone his younger self.

I thought he was a young nobleman, but now it seems he's clearly a wealthy gentleman.

Moreover, he's the kind of old man whose every stomp shakes Liyue Harbor.

Given his identity, the people around him immediately became reserved, and even the archaeologist who had come forward fell silent.

"Um..."

Zhongli, on the other hand, looked deep in thought.

His old friend actually did something so earth-shattering in Liyue Harbor.

Master Luo, the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce... It seems the bills will now have a destination.

"Hehe~ It's quite lively here."

A soft, sweet laugh rang out.

The crowd parted, and Ningguang walked slowly towards them.

"Grandpa Luo, have I disturbed your enjoyment?"

"Little Ningguang, you only came after you finished listening to this song?" Su Chen said with a smile.

"You've come at just the right time." Ningguang smiled slightly. She had indeed been there for some time, but seeing that Su Chen was listening to the opera, she didn't want to disturb him. "Since the old man wouldn't see me, Ningguang had no choice but to come to you."

"Is something wrong?"

"Preparations for the Human Emperor's Ceremony are almost complete. Ningguang would like to invite you to join us. What do you think, Elder Luo?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Although Grandpa Luo is famous, Ningguang is still a seven-star and a wealthy woman. Isn't this attitude too polite?

But Su Chen knew that Ningguang was being so polite for two reasons: first, she had something to discuss with him, and second, naturally, it was because Ying was a candidate for the Emperor.

This is a bit troublesome. Ying is already an honorary knight, and now she has this title as well. If Liyue and Mondstadt try to recruit her in the future, that will be difficult to handle.

Forget it, let the people of Liyue figure it out themselves.

"Human, Retirement, Emperor Su Chen thought so."

...

Collection of Escaping and Returning.

The chaos of the Emperor's passing also unfolded here, but compared to Liyue Harbor, it was much more stable, and after the Human Emperor appeared, the entire Guili Town gradually returned to order.

At this time, with the arrival of the Emperor's Festival, the entire Guili Town was bustling and prosperous as it had not been in a long time.
