Su Bai: "Good, well said."

"So, Mr. Su, who's settled down here, is here again to listen to the audiobook."

"Boss Su and his employees are loyal fans of the True Lord of Stability. That girl named Shen He often comes to listen to the True Lord's stories."

"Haha, is Boss Su out of business today? He's following in the footsteps of his idol, creating the Peaceful Settlement under the guise of solving any problem for the people of Liyue. But Liyue is so peaceful, it's truly remarkable that Boss Su has managed to keep the Peaceful Settlement going until now."

"You've worked so hard all these years, Boss Su..."

"Boss Su, do you often deduct wages from your two young ladies' wages?"

"Can you still manage the rent? I heard that your row of houses was recently sold to Lord Ningguang of Tianquan Star."

【"..."】

Studio.

King Ruoduo: "Uh..."

King Ruoduo: "Is Master Su like Morax, not paid for food and drink, and not even paid for listening to audiobooks? (Thinking, Nasita)"

Hu Tao: "Look, isn't that the ambitious young man next to him who looks very knowledgeable? He's the guest advisor."

Zhong Li: "(Thank you, boss, Walnut)"

Wendy: "Pfft! Two penniless people getting together to drink and listen to storytelling at Three Bowls of Wine? That's hilarious."

Tvalin: "Barbatos is laughing at someone else? (Help, Paimon!)"

Paimon: "Luckily, Su Bai didn't argue with the storyteller, otherwise we would have heard the storyteller righteously declaring, 'Do you understand the True Lord of Stability better than me?'"

Ying: "Hahahaha.."

Gan Yu: "Anjudu is the base where Su Bai, Shen He, and I take on missions and roam the city."

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun: "You've taken on so many missions, yet you can't even afford the rent?"

Shen He: "Uh..."

Nasita: "I actually feel great. Although the people of Liyue say that Su Bai is listening to books for free, the smiles on their faces don't mean they are mocking Su Bai. Rather, they feel that they have a very good relationship with Su Bai, so they say that. It's like everyone actually approves of Su Bai and is just joking around."

Ayaka Kamisato: "Yeah, it's really like people joking around during casual conversation, no one really cares."

【"Um."】

Feeling the warmth and happiness around him, Su Bai nodded in satisfaction.

"Ah, life in Liyue is becoming more and more delightful, isn't it, my guest..."

Su Bai smiled, his eyes narrowed, and took a sip of his drink.

Seeing no response, he tried asking again.

"Guest advisor..."

"A guest elder of the Hall of Rebirth?"

【"....."】

This is a very bad situation.

Su Bai mechanically turned around, only to find the seat beside him completely empty.

Only half a bowl of wine remained, not yet finished.

"Boss Su, the guest elder from Wangsheng Hall just left."

The owner of the "Three Bowls and You're Gone" restaurant approached Su Bai with a beaming smile.

"Mr. Su, look at his accounts..."

"I remember you two were very close."

"Last time you left early, the guest elder and your debt are on the shrine of the deceased."

"He left early this time, you see..."

Su Bai: "..."

"Okay, I'll pay for it for him too."

Su Bai said calmly.

The boss nodded upon hearing this and continued, "Shall we stick to the usual way, or..."

"Let's keep it the same as before."

The communication between the two was quite simple and straightforward.

[Within a few words, the owner of the restaurant, who had been known for his "Three Bowls and No More" business, left with a satisfied smile.]

"Shenhe has settled down and is on loan for 5,000 Mora."

"Hey boss, is Boss Su here for a drink?"

"You should have said so earlier, I would have cooked him an extra side dish."

"Idiot, I already waived the price for a small dish for him."

【"..."】

Liuyun Borrowing Wind True Lord: "..."

Frynn: "Hahaha, sorry Su Bai, I just couldn't hold back. How did you become like the Geo Archon and the Grandmaster in Liyue? Poor Shen He! (Drinking tea - Night Orchid)"

Claude: "Was the owner of the 'Three Bowls Before Crossing the Harbor' restaurant in his past life to welcome two people who had left debts unpaid?"

Hu Tao: "No, it's because our Rebirth Hall's accounts have an extra sum of money for Lord Yan to invite the True Lord of Peace. (So much pressure - Xing Qiu)"

Hu Tao: "Letting those two eat and drink will hasten the closure of Wangshengtang."

Zhongli: "This... truly befits a reincarnator..."

Chongyun: "I've noticed that the people of Liyue seem to be quite familiar with Mr. Su Bai. As soon as they heard that Anju was paying for his aunt's drinks, they immediately knew that Mr. Su Bai had gone out for drinks. Moreover, they treat Mr. Su Bai with exceptional kindness."

Buyer: "I seriously doubt that Anju will be paid very little for completing the task, or even any Mora."

Ke Qing: "I understand. This is the spirit of a contract. When Mr. Su Bai took Ning Guang's lollipop, he was actually signing a contract. He must have taken her lollipop to help Ning Guang."

Beidou: "As expected, Mr. Su Bai will always be the great Mr. Su Bai."

Yelan: "So, in order to help Shenhe integrate into Liyue Harbor, Mr. Su Bai and his two senior and junior sisters actually did a lot of things to help the people of Liyue over the years, and the people of Liyue remember it all."

Ningguang: "They occasionally outwit and outmaneuver the Emperor. Whoever runs slower has to pay twice the price. This shows that Liyue is really too peaceful. So peaceful that the two big shots have nothing to do and have started to find fun in life."

Hu Tao: "I seriously doubt that the Emperor can outrun the True Lord."

Zhong Li: "(Hey Wendy)"

Wendy: "Hey, Old Deng, why are you using my expression? It doesn't suit your personality at all, it's so weird."

【Qunyu Pavilion.】

The accounts were presented to Ningguang.

"Regarding the rent, everyone except those who settled down haven't received theirs yet; the rent for everyone else has been collected in full."

Settling down here?

Ningguang was taken aback by what she heard.

[It instantly brought back childhood memories.]

That was her first time learning to do business; she resold some goods and earned her first pot of gold.

As a result, the money in my hand was stolen by a thief from who-knows-where.

Although the Mora she earned wasn't much, for Ningguang, whose life was impoverished, the capital from reselling goods was all the money she had left.

For Ningguang, having her money stolen was a devastating blow.

Completely stunned and helpless, Ningguang could only sit alone on the dock of Liyue Harbor and sob uncontrollably.

"Hey, whose little beggar is this? He's all dirty and doesn't even wear shoes when he goes out?"

"Sitting alone on the docks of Liyue Harbor, crying, aren't you afraid of being kidnapped and sold by some creepy old man?"

The sudden sound startled Ningguang, causing her to immediately stop crying.

Looking around, she realized that a black-haired man had appeared beside her.

[And in the other person's hand, a coarse cloth money bag was being tossed around repeatedly.]

The glaring patch on the purse instantly startled Ningguang.

[“This…the money pouch in your hand is mine…”] (Li Nuo Zhao)

"Give it back to me now."

Ningguang stood up angrily and reached out her small hand to snatch the money pouch from Su Bai's hand.

Unfortunately, the moment Su Bai gently pressed her head down, the distance between Ningguang's small, pale hand and the money pouch in Su Bai's hand was as wide as the Wuxiang Blade Gorge.

"Hey, little beggar, this is the money bag I got from a thief."

"I'm not a little beggar, my name is Ningguang." Ningguang pouted, no longer crying, but her tears flowed even more profusely than before due to her anxiety.
