Genshin Impact, all those behind-the-scenes big shots are me

The young nobleman shook his head slightly: "I was entangled with the hall master and couldn't get away. In the end, I was fortunate to have Ruo Tuo's help."

"Rodha? How did he help you?"

The young nobleman was silent for a moment, then said, "This time, he might be taken away as a 'divine beast' in the law. Some villagers don't recognize Ruoduo, and they maintain awe when they see him, which is quite beneficial for the funeral service."

"Look at what you're saying. The funeral has already taken place, so what benefits are you talking about? But Ruoduo is, after all, the Dragon King. It's too much of a disservice to make him do this, isn't it?"

"It's alright, I do this every day too, don't I?"

"You're different, you're just cheap."

"..."

"Young master," Zhongli said speechlessly, turning to look at his smiling old friend. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Why don't you go and see other places? It's been almost a month since you came back, and they're probably looking for you everywhere."

"Haha~ No rush, no rush, let me have a few more days of peace and quiet."

Su Chen laughed loudly, picked up the wine glass and took another sip, "I must say, the taste of water mixed with wine is different from wine mixed with water. It has a unique flavor. No wonder you always like to drink it."

Zhong Li thought to herself that what I was drinking didn't taste right.

"Mmm...this is so comfortable, such a rare good time." Su Chen closed his eyes and savored the moment. "Zhong Li, from now on, I'm retiring too."

Zhongli nodded slightly: "Alright."

His sudden appearance a month ago startled even him, since Zhongli had been searching for Su Chen all this time, practically turning Liyue upside down, but hadn't been able to find him.

Unexpectedly, Su Chen suddenly appeared.

I didn't feel anything at all.

To be honest, Zhong Li could no longer sense that same aura from Su Chen as before.

Tianli, that was Su Chen's former identity.

But now he is just an ordinary retired man.

By fusing the Abyss and Order, returning to a state of complete natural law, and then doing everything in his power to cover the entire Teyvat with the new order built on Sky Isle, Su Chen exhausted almost all his strength to achieve this.

He originally planned to discard the template of the Heavenly Principles afterward, which meant killing it and relinquishing its power. Because this template was bound to the Order of Fate, it also contained the power of the Abyss Order. This was Su Chen's final preparation.

As for suicide, Su Chen wasn't that stupid.

His suicide was merely killing the template.

Trading the loss of power for the leap in Teyvat's civilization, while simultaneously eliminating the influence of the Abyss's will, seems like a very worthwhile deal.

However, in the chaotic state where his power was exhausted, Su Chen actually took a big step forward in his realm of destiny of order. This caused his original power to directly upgrade. After gaining power, Su Chen changed from the elimination template to the sealing template - completely eliminating the influence of the will of the abyss while retaining the power he could use.

It's no exaggeration to say that the strongest power Su Chen can currently use is the Sword Saint.

But he didn't care.

What needed to be done has been done.

He only needs to watch quietly as Teyvat's fate unfolds, just as Zhongli quietly watches Liyue as it is today.

"The wind is so noisy today." Su Chen closed his eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips, enjoying the retirement life he had always dreamed of.

"Zhongli, don't you think? These days are just wonderful. I think I'll stay here a little longer. I've found that no matter where I go, it's not as good as Liyue. Mondstadt, Inazuma, Sumeru, Fontaine... sigh~ there are too many people, and it's so noisy."

Enjoying retirement with Old Zhong wouldn't be bad.

Thinking this, I still didn't hear a response from my old friend.

Su Chen was a little annoyed. "Old Zhong, are you saying I'm powerless?"

But when Su Chen opened his eyes, he found that Old Zhong was nowhere to be seen.

The storyteller's voice suddenly disappeared.

All the patrons in the tavern have disappeared.

Instead, there was the Great Tree King sitting on the left, the Flower Goddess sitting on the right, the Shadow opposite, Alice and Shin at the next table, Funina standing there wanting to rush over and bite someone, and Fukaros desperately pulling Funina away.

The temperature inside the tavern plummeted as the Ice Queen strode in.

And Asmodeus stood beside him, maintaining the initial loyalty of the shadow.

"Uh..."

Su Chen immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

"When did you arrive?" he asked, swallowing hard.

The tavern was completely silent; no one answered.

Su Chen shouted, "Asmodeus, get me out of here right now!"

"Don't even think about escaping!!!"

"Shadow, go!"

"This moment, the time of death!"

"Frozen for thousands of miles!"

"Miss Alice, prepare the bomb!"

"Great Compassion Tree King, quickly bring out the World Branch!"

"Open the door and let Furina out!!!"

Grandpa Su's retirement life

Bonus Chapter: Funina's Wedding [Part 1]

In Fontaine, although trials are the most revered thing among the people, the Court of Justice is not higher in status than the Privy Council. This is because of the administrative system established by Ryder in Fontaine five hundred years ago, and because Lord Navelette, as the Supreme Judge, rarely interferes in matters outside of trials. As a result, almost all matters, big and small, in Fontaine are managed by the Privy Council.

Within the Privy Council, the Logistics Department holds the most unique position.

Although these days those who manage money are usually the big shots, at least at the level of state organs, the power of the logistics department is generally lower than that of other departments.

There was nothing that could be done; after all, the highest administrative officer of the Privy Council, Lady Aina, also served as the administrative officer of the Logistics Department.

Regarding this matter, some people have investigated and thought that this was a way for Aina to control the finances and enrich herself. But in reality, Aina has been so honest and upright over the past five hundred years that even upright officials are ashamed of themselves. Rats that go to her house leave with tears in their eyes.

In fact, Aina has been doing two jobs all these years but only getting paid for one. As for why she is so persistent in the logistics department, she has never said.

at this time.

Inside the logistics department's office.

A female employee, holding the latest financial statements, asked in confusion, "Strange, why is there such a large expenditure here... Is it for the Mo Mang Palace, wedding preparations?"

"What's wrong? Let me see."

Another employee went over and took a look.

"...This application was submitted this month, and it's still in Lady Funina's name. What? Is there a mistake? Is Lady Funina getting married herself? Or is she helping someone else get married?"

"There must be a mistake."

How could Lady Funina possibly get married? It's been over five hundred years, and we haven't heard a thing.

"I think there was something like that last year, something about Lady Funina getting married, but it didn't happen in the end."

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone in the room who had been working diligently looked up, staring at the speaker with curiosity.

"Oh, what's wrong? Lady Funina is getting married?"

"No way? How come I haven't heard a single thing about it?"

Wow! This is news of the century!

"I'm already getting excited. If Lady Funina gets married, will it be in court? Will she be sentenced to life imprisonment?"

"..."

"Hey, hey, hey." The person who had spoken earlier quickly waved his hand and said helplessly, "Don't talk nonsense, okay? I'm talking about last year, last year! And it was just a rumor, and then nothing happened."

"Tch~~" *N

The heads that Tuo had raised all bowed down again.

"Never mind, I'll go and ask Lady Aina for permission."

On ordinary days, Aina is not in the logistics department, so they can handle small matters on their own. However, when it comes to the approval of large sums of money, they have to get past Aina. Thanks to this, the entire administrative body of Fontaine is as clean and honest as she is.

As Aina's assistant, Miss O'Lee's abilities are beyond question. Sensing that something was amiss, she immediately went to Aina.

"A large funding request from Mo Mang Palace?" Aina's face showed a strange expression... What is the Water God up to now?

"Lady Aina, could it really be Lady Funina who's getting married?" Ole couldn't help but ask. "But if that were the case, they should have started announcing it already, right? And who is Lady Funina marrying? Lord Ryder? Come to think of it, it's been a long time since I've seen him."

Aina frowned: "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask."

“Yes, yes…”

"I'll handle this. You can go now."

After Oulei left, Aina took the approval form and went to Momang Palace herself.

Knowing Lady Funina's quirky and unpredictable nature all too well, it was better to be cautious just in case. Putting aside the trouble that a farce could cause, the sheer amount of money involved should warrant her attention.
