But their Mora is truly gone.

Thinking of this, their breathing slowed down.

There are no winners in this competitive environment!

Oh, you can't say that.

At this time, wages in Liyue Harbor were rising, but eventually they came to a standstill.

The workers in Liyue Harbor expressed their regret, but with such a large wage increase, they were still making a good living and were quite satisfied.

—At least the workers in Liyue Harbor won.

Thinking of this, they not only slowed their breathing, but also felt a faint pain in their chests and their vision blurred.

Seeing these peasants make money is more painful than seeing them lose money!

Some small business owners or shop owners breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

Finally, prices have stopped rising.

These small business owners have also started to do some simple calculations of their income and expenses based on the recent increase in customer traffic.

Those who can do it, continue; those who can't, have to find another way out.

Fortunately, salaries in Liyue Harbor have increased significantly, so even if you can no longer run your own shop or small business, working elsewhere is a good option.

Besides these, there is another special person who experiences both joy and sorrow amidst the turmoil in Liyue Harbor.

"From a purely rational perspective, it is a good thing that the people of Liyue Harbor have improved their quality of life, and I should be happy about it."

"It would be even more delightful if they could be a little quieter while listening to the opera."

A guest of the Wangshengtang, who wished to remain anonymous, commented sharply.

There is still a long way to go before the people of Liyue Harbor can improve their overall quality.

Let's not go to the opera for now. Instead, let's go find A-Ping and walk the birds together.

Ok.

Seeing Ah Ping spending her days alone near the table in front of Yujingtai, it must be quite boring.

at dusk.

Zhongli carried his birdcage to Grandma Ping's side.

"Oh? It's Mr. Zhongli, hello."

Zhongli looked over and saw Yanfei, who was also walking in this direction.

A renowned legal consultant in Liyue Harbor.

A hybrid of immortals and humans.

Although she has never signed a contract with him, she is upholding the rules of Liyue in her own way.

He was extremely pleased with this.

"Ms. Yanfei, it's a pleasure to see you again."

He nodded to Yan Fei in return.

"It's Mr. Zhongli. He's come to visit me again today."

As always, Grandma Ping cooperated seamlessly with Zhong Li, not revealing Zhong Li's identity in front of Yan Fei, but instead addressing him as "Mr. Zhong Li".

"Grandma, do you also know Mr. Zhongli?" Yanfei stepped forward and asked.

"Hehe, of course. After all, I've lived for so many years, it's normal for me to know some people. Besides, it's someone as knowledgeable and extraordinary as Mr. Zhongli."

"Grandma Ping, you flatter me. I only know a little bit about this."

"Hehe, not at all, Mr. Zhongli is too modest."

On the other side, Yan Fei watched the two of them exchanging compliments and felt that something was off.

Why do these two seem to know each other even better than she expected?

And if we keep being so polite to each other, won't we end up being all formal until the evening?

No, I need to find a way to change the subject.

"I don't know why, but every time I see Mr. Zhongli, I always feel an unbelievable sense of familiarity."

This was something she had always been curious about.

I had this feeling from the first time I met this guest of the Rebirth Hall.

She had asked Grandma Ping before, but Grandma Ping just smiled and didn't say anything.

Later, she asked her father, but he just mumbled something and said he didn't understand either.

Really!

One by one, they're all riddle tellers!

Could it be that Mr. Zhongli is also a guardian deity of Liyue?

Moreover, they are likely to be people of high status, older, or with outstanding achievements.

This made her even more curious.

She will not give up any opportunity to find out Zhongli's identity.

Yan Fei turned her gaze to Zhong Li.

Zhongli lowered her eyes slightly, trying to avoid Yan Fei's probing gaze.

"Mr. Zhongli is, after all, well-read and knowledgeable. Perhaps it's just that you book lovers are attracted to each other."

Grandma Ping came out with a big laugh.

"Is that right?"

Yan Fei's large eyes were full of suspicion.

"Probably. By the way, Mr. Zhongli, is there something you need from me?"

Yan Fei pouted.

Grandma Ping changed the subject again.

"Um... I came to ask you to walk your bird together."

Zhongli gestured with the birdcage in his hand.

"Oh dear, I'm getting old, my legs aren't as nimble as they used to be, so I won't participate in these activities anymore."

Upon hearing this, Zhongli shook his head in regret.

"Oh, speaking of which, Yanfei, what brings you here?"

"Ah, I'm fine, I just wanted to chat with you and tell you about the recent legal work. I'm exhausted today."

Grandma Ping immediately understood the meaning behind Yan Fei's words.

This is because I encountered a problem at work and came to ask these elderly people for advice.

"Hehe, no rush, no rush, take your time. It's perfect timing. If we encounter any trouble, we can ask Mr. Zhongli for help and advice."

"Ok!"

Yan Fei nodded heavily.

Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure. With an experienced elder like Grandma Ping and a well-read walking encyclopedia like Mr. Zhongli, they can surely answer her questions.

"Here's what happened. This morning, people from the eight major business families of Liyue came to me and asked me to find out what was illegal in the 'price increase limit order.' I took 6000 Mora from them and told them that the 'price increase limit order' itself was not illegal and that they needed to comply with it. Then, they left in a huff."

Around noon, they came over again, asking me to do my best to find all the loopholes in the "price increase restriction order" that they could exploit.

Actually, I had already found the loopholes in it, but I knew their plans, so I hesitated.

Legal principles and human sentiments sometimes conflict, and sometimes they are compatible; weighing the two is truly baffling.

Chapter 64 Streets and Alleys

"Um……"

Zhongli and Grandma Ping both fell into deep thought.

The difficulty of this issue lies in the conflict of their positions.

From a legal perspective, anything not prohibited by law is permissible. There is nothing wrong with finding loopholes in the price limit order and profiting from them.

However, from a human perspective, helping them exploit loopholes for profit means that the final result is that a few people benefit while the interests of the majority of people in Liyue Harbor are harmed.

Perhaps, the current prosperity of Liyue Harbor will gradually disappear.

From their perspective, they certainly don't want such a thing to happen.

They hope that everyone in Liyue Harbor can live a better life.

Yanfei has been kind-hearted since she was little, and she would definitely prefer it to be this way.

However, even if Yanfei doesn't take on this job, other legal consultants in Liyue Harbor might, not to mention the legal resource consultants affiliated with various major families.

Moreover, the merchants' change of heart after visiting Yuehai Pavilion suggests that they must have received the tacit approval of Qixing and Ganyu. Presumably, they will have a follow-up plan.

In the eyes of Grandma Ping and Zhong Li, the key issue is not the consequences of doing or not doing something.

The key is that they need to help Yanfei, who is lost and confused, to come to her senses and confront her own inner self.

How can I explain this to Yanfei?

hiss~

Somewhat tricky.

"It's getting late, why don't we find a place to eat and chat?"

Zhongli suddenly spoke up.
