"System enhancement to [Cloud Dispelling Palm]!"

After obtaining the cultivation technique, Su Han was naturally not satisfied and immediately chose to strengthen it. If he relied solely on his own cultivation, it would probably take several years to go from beginner to mastery.

After deducting the points he initially spent, he now has over 4000 points left, since Xingqiu bought 2000 books, which also counted as points and can be spent freely.

[Hint: The martial art "Cloud-Dispelling Palm" requires 500 points to upgrade each time. Would you like to upgrade?]

"Yes."

As a beam of light entered his mind, Su Han felt that his understanding of the Cloud-Dispelling Palm had improved significantly. Things he didn't understand about martial arts before now became clear.

[Hint: Your martial arts skill, Cloud-Dispelling Palm, has advanced from beginner to proficient, consuming 500 points!]

"System, continue to enhance."

Su Han wasn't satisfied with that level. Otherwise, with his booming business, he'd need bodyguards whenever he went out. You have to be strong yourself to succeed. The Treasure Thieves were secondary; if it were the Fools who had their eyes on him, he wouldn't be able to get rid of them so easily.

Su Han urgently needs powerful forces to arm himself.

[Notification: Your martial art, Cloud-Dispelling Palm, has advanced from Proficient to Minor Mastery, consuming 500 points!]

Another flash of white light, and countless pieces of knowledge poured into his mind. Su Han felt that his understanding of the Cloud-Dispelling Palm had undergone a completely new change. Some things he didn't understand before, he now understood completely, and he even felt that every move he made could summon clouds and mist to attack.

But that wasn't enough. Su Han continued to silently chant, "System, enhance the Cloud-Dispelling Palm."

[Hint: Your martial art, Cloud-Dispelling Palm, has reached the minor mastery level. Further enhancement will require 1000 points. Would you like to enhance it?]

[Note: Once enhanced, it cannot be enhanced again. You need to elevate your system privileges to continue enhancing!]

Although he stopped at the Great Completion Realm, it was enough for Su Han, even though his points started to double.

"System, enhance!"

The original white light turned into a shimmering golden color and flew into his mind. With a loud bang, Su Han felt a thunderclap resound in the depths of his mind. Countless clouds of mist surged in his spiritual world, transforming into figures that were frantically practicing.

His body movements, internal strength, and footwork are all improving.

Even some knowledge he didn't understand before has been supplemented.

Acupoints.

Internal strength.

To stop the bleeding.

The perks that come with various martial arts skills have now all become muscle memory.

At the same time, as the figures in Su Han's mind surged, a powerful cloud of mist in the sky was also affected by him and began to condense above Liyue Harbor.

Streets and alleys.

Seeing the changing clouds in the sky, pedestrians thought it was going to rain and ran home. However, some powerful beings sensed that this force was man-made.

Hall of Rebirth.

Zhong Li looked up at the sky, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes: "Is that Su Han?"

Tartaglia, who had just arrived from the Northland Bank from the winter solstice, was also drawn to this strange phenomenon. He smiled and said, "Interesting. I didn't expect to encounter something like this so soon after arriving in Liyue Harbor. I just wonder who this expert is. To be able to shake the heavens, he must be a formidable opponent. I hope to have the opportunity to spar with him."

As he spoke, Tartaglia's eyes were filled with the desire to fight. For a battle maniac, nothing was more exciting than finding a master to spar with.

Yujingtai.

Gan Yu looked at the ever-changing clouds and mist in the sky, feeling somewhat puzzled, but when she saw where the clouds and mist were concentrated, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Qian Yanjun, who was standing nearby, came over and asked if she wanted to investigate. Gan Yu shook her head and said, "No need, I'll go take a look myself."

That place where the clouds and mist gathered was naturally Su Han's home, she knew that much. Although the other party was a fire qilin, riding the clouds and mist was a qilin's innate ability.

Perhaps Su Han is awakening his power recently. Thinking that she has a member of her clan in Liyue, Gan Yu felt inexplicably happy.

outside the city.

Keqing had just finished her work when she looked at the clouds rolling in the sky, which seemed to be manipulated by someone. Her expression immediately turned serious: "Someone is tampering with Liyue Harbor? Don't they know the rules?"

As he spoke, his master transformed into lightning, leaping across the rooftops and rapidly charging towards the gathering of clouds and mist.

As the seven stars of Liyue, protecting the people is our top priority. If someone were to cause trouble in the city, the casualties would be extremely high.

However, before Keqing could even reach the vicinity of the comic book store, the fog gradually dissipated.

"Huh? Why is it gone again? Or am I imagining things?"

Keqing stopped on the roof of a pavilion, her eyes full of doubt. Logically speaking, her senses should be correct. Could it be that the enemy had discovered her?

Let's investigate first, no matter what.

A few breaths ago, inside the comic book store, Su Han sensed someone locking onto his aura. The feeling, as if someone was staring directly at him, made him abruptly open his eyes: "Someone is approaching rapidly."

And when the cultivation stopped, this feeling also dissipated.

Although the enemy is unknown, the tingling, numbing sensation that feels like a thorn in one's back is probably something only Master Keng can experience in Liyue Harbor.

Su Han wasn't quite sure what had just happened, but he understood that he could no longer cultivate within the city.

"It seems I'll need to find a secluded place to cultivate in the future. The city is still a bit unsafe and too easy to attract attention. Ke Qing is easy to talk to, but if it were Ye Tianhou, she would probably be invited for tea."

After finishing his cultivation, Su Han straightened his clothes and prepared to go out, but he heard a knock on the door as soon as he got up.

"Boss, Miss Gan Yu has come to visit."

"Hmm? Gan Yu. Okay, I understand. Please let her in."

"Yes."

A moment later, Gan Yu came in with a bag of tea leaves.

The two smiled at each other, and Su Han accepted the gift, asking, "You have so much free time today?"

"I don't have much official business, but I was attracted here by the clouds and mist you created. Have you awakened your bloodline recently?"

"Yes, it just awakened not long ago."

Even if you don't understand what the other person is saying, in this situation you can just go along with what they say.

As expected, Gan Yu quickly revealed an expression that said, "It seems I guessed right. However, you can't do this in the future. Using your cloud-riding skills in the city can easily cause panic. If you don't mind, I can take you to the vicinity of Jueyunjian and give you some pointers on cultivation."

"Uh... let's skip Jueyun Pass and go somewhere else, maybe near Cuijue Slope."

At first, Gan Yu habitually chose Jueyunjian, but that place was too close to the cave of Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun. This eloquent master was simply her nemesis!

If they were to run into each other by chance, this master might reveal some embarrassing secrets about her childhood, and Gan Yu would be completely ashamed to face Su Han in that case.

Therefore, Cuijuepo is safer than Jueyunjian.

"Hmm? Are you really okay? I heard you've been quite busy with work."

Su Han was somewhat surprised. Based on his understanding of Gan Yu, she was someone who could prioritize official business and take the time to instruct others. Even Ying Mei probably didn't receive such treatment.

Gan Yu smiled gently and nodded, saying, "Two hours won't matter. Besides, the refreshing taste you gave me last time was very good, and it also allowed me to rest for a while."

Since the other party had said so, Su Han naturally wouldn't refuse. He desperately needed someone to practice his techniques with him.

The moment they left the shop, a figure in the distance froze.

Ke Qing stared wide-eyed at the two people chatting and laughing, exclaiming in shock, "Huh? No way, Gan Yu is actually chatting and laughing with a man!!!"

According to the legends of the Liyue Septate, the mythical creature Ganyu serves them, but seems to have little interest in matters of love and sex.

Not only that, this secretary's interactions with humans were limited to official business, and this was the first time in history that she had ever chatted and laughed with a member of the opposite sex like this.

"This is big news!"

Ke Qing rubbed her eyes, still feeling somewhat incredulous. In her shock, she even forgot about investigating the clouds and mist.

Thank you so much for your recommendation votes and monthly tickets! Love you all, muah!

[This chapter has also been revised. I was writing too late yesterday, so some of the settings are a bit messy.]

But don't worry, it's all sorted out.

Chapter 11 A Thousand Years of Loneliness, Gan Yu's Heartache

"Regardless, let's report to Ningguang first."

Ke Qing stood there in a daze for a long time, but couldn't figure it out.

Liyue cannot do without Ganyu. For thousands of years, it is because of her tireless efforts that Liyue Harbor is so prosperous today. If Ganyu really has a partner and wants to retire to the mountains, it would be a huge loss for Liyue.

Back at Qunyu Pavilion, Keqing told Ningguang what had happened, and the latter was stunned after hearing it.

"You said that Gan Yu went outside the city chatting and laughing with a man?"

"Yes," Ke Qing took a deep breath, recalling the scene just now, and said, "I also went to Yujingtai earlier. The staff there said that Gan Yu went there to investigate the changes in the clouds and mist."

In this way, the timing also matches up.

Ningguang nodded slightly and said, "I see, but it's not good for us to guess like this. Let's ask Ganyu when she returns."

"But," Ke Qing looked troubled, "Gan Yu is so shy, is it really okay for us to just ask directly?"

Gan Yu is a well-known workaholic, but she is also known for being thin-skinned.

Ningguang rubbed her temples, then suddenly remembered something and quickly asked, "Who is that man? Have you found out?"

Gan Yu is a celestial beast, a fact known to the Seven Stars of Liyue. With such a noble status, how could an ordinary man possibly attract her attention?

Ke Qing blinked, as if she was too shocked to see clearly at the time.

Ningguang looked at her mute friend, knowing that she must have forgotten, and said, "You really are making wild guesses. What if the other person is a deity? Deities in Liyue often come to the mortal world in avatars. But for Ganyu to give up her work and go out, that alone is enough to show that the other person is extraordinary. Keqing, I'll ask Ganyu alone later. You can go and do your work first."

"Ah."

Ke Qing turned and left, but as she walked, she felt that the man's back looked familiar, and he didn't seem to be an immortal.

outside the city.

Once out of the public eye, Su Han unleashed the "Cloud Shadow" lightness skill attached to the Cloud Dispelling Palm. His body moved like a ghost or a wisp of cloud, rapidly darting into the distance.

Although it's not flying, it has special effects similar to riding the clouds.

Gan Yu, on the other hand, was much more elegant. With light steps, she leaped thousands of meters away, her light blue hair making her resemble a beautiful fairy bird flitting among the mountains.

The two moved forward at high speed.

We arrived near Cuijuepo in less than 30 minutes.
