I'm in Genshin Impact, and I started by teaming up with Luna.

Fengshan Jueyun casually nodded and then looked at the long queue in front of him and said, "Let's go, we'll go this way."

Everyone nodded, and at that moment Wu Qiu noticed a group of people next to them. That group seemed to consist of merchants, each driving a horse-drawn carriage, and their line was even longer than Wu Qiu's.

"That's the merchants' passage. They're much slower than us here because they have to inspect the goods, which takes a long time."

"Phew~ Luckily we're not merchants, otherwise we probably would have had to wait until dark."

Paimon patted his chest. Everyone around him obediently lined up. He didn't know why, but there were a lot of people, all sorts of people, but most were poor, and some even had families with them; clearly, they couldn't stay in Mondstadt anymore and had gone to Liyue.

"what!!!!!"

Just then, a scream suddenly came from ahead, a woman's scream, followed by a commotion ahead.

"Huh? What happened?"

Wu Qiu curiously peeked out, then his eyes widened in surprise, bewilderment, and anger as he stared ahead.

At the pass ahead, Wu Qiu could see a Thousand Rock Army soldier, his sleazy appearance clearly visible. Standing before him was a girl dressed in tattered clothes, with a pretty face and a slender figure.

The girl was only seventeen or eighteen years old, standing there trembling, her hands raised high...

Ahem! I can't say any more, or I'll break the rules. Just use your imagination.

"Don't be afraid, this is just a routine check-up."

Upon hearing Qian Yanjun's words, Wu Qiu's eyes blazed with anger. This wasn't an inspection; it was blatant harassment.

This guy is incredibly arrogant. He made no attempt to cover up or take advantage of the situation. This is blatant harassment.

The girl was terrified, but she dared not move. The clear handprint on her face told Wu Qiu that Qian Yanjun was definitely not gentle.

Holy crap!

With a curse, Wu Qiu was about to rush out. Although he wasn't a saint, how could Wu Qiu, a normal person who had undergone nine years of good compulsory education, possibly tolerate this situation? Today, he would stand up for what was right and become a hero.

He was filled with pride, but before he could charge out, he was pinned down by a bear behind him.

"What are you doing! Don't be impulsive!"

Feng Shan Jueyun pressed Wu Qiu down, then looked at Ying who was also about to leave and said, "You too, crouch down and hide well, don't let that guy see you."

After weighing her options, Ying saw Feng Shan Jue Yun's serious gaze and decided to remain crouched down.

"Ah—! That's too much! Are all the Chiiwa Army like this?"

Paimon, hands on hips and cheeks puffed out, watched all this angrily. Wu Xiang Feng Zai also spoke up vehemently, "How dare they be so rude to a lady! Let me just go up there and chop him in half!"

Looking at this group of guys bursting with a sense of justice, Fengshan Jueyun believed they weren't robbers, but he also believed they were a bunch of fools.

"Oh no." Fengshan Jueyun tried to calm everyone down. "Qianyan Army is a very orthodox army. Every member of Qianyan Army is not only powerful, but also of good character."

Wu Qiu, Pai Meng, Ying, and Wu Xiang Feng Zai all stared at Feng Shan Jue Yun with expressions that said, "Don't you think it's inappropriate for you to fawn over Qian Yan Jun in this scene?"

Feng Shan Jueyun's eyes twitched, and he took a deep breath. "A large forest has all kinds of birds, and it's impossible for the Thousand Rock Army to be without any scoundrels. The border of the Stone Gate is different from the border at sea."

"The sea is truly dangerous, so the Thousand Rock Army there are true warriors. The Thousand Rock Army in Liyue protects the people of Liyue, and the people trust them very much, so they are also a legitimate army."

“But this Stone Gate is different. It’s not far from Liyue, but it’s not under our jurisdiction. There are many Thousand Rock Army here, but there are also many corrupt officials. After all, it’s not only safe here, but also a good place to make money.”

As he spoke, he looked at the lewd Qianyan Army soldier and said, "This guy is the worst of the worst among parasites. He's a womanizer. I don't know how he got into the Qianyan Army. It seems like he has a big brother who has some status in the Qianyan Army."

"This isn't the first time something like this has happened here. Although he doesn't dare to attack the people of Liyue, this guy uses his status as a member of the Thousand Rock Army to specifically target poor foreigners who have no power or influence."

"But don't worry, there are very few scoundrels like him among those parasites. And they don't dare to go too far; they just indulge in their fantasies and don't dare to do anything real."

"After all, Liyue is under the direct jurisdiction of the Geo Archon. Although it is impossible for him to do everything, as the God of Contracts, Liyue, the Thousand Rock Army, or the Seven Stars are all fulfilling some kind of contract."

"In a land of contracts, contracts are inviolable. If they are broken, the consequences will be unimaginable. As members of the Thousand Rock Army, it is even more impossible for us to do anything that could violate the contract. After all, the contract cannot contain any clause that allows the Thousand Rock Army to forcibly abduct women."

After listening, Wu Qiu and the others nodded one by one, and then said in unison, "You're just sucking up to Qianyan Army."

"Oh no." Fengshan Jueyun was speechless, thinking to himself, "What are you guys focusing on?"

"I mean, it's very unfortunate that we came at the wrong time. Today happens to be the day that beast is on duty."

As he spoke, he pointed at Ying and said, "Especially you. If you had gone there, with your looks, he would probably have skinned you bald."

"He dares! I'll kill him!"

Wu Qiu and Wu Xiang Fengzai spoke in unison, looking menacing. Feng Shan Jueyun quickly pressed his hand down, "I know you're powerful, but think about it. If you two get into a conflict, regardless of who's right or wrong, your crime of assaulting a police officer—no, assaulting the Qianyan Army—will be confirmed."

"Furthermore, if you are arrested, you will have no chance to appeal. They may not dare to do anything too outrageous without reason, but they can still humiliate you and throw you out of the stone gate, never to be allowed to enter again."

"Besides, even if you wipe out all the Thousand Rock Army here, what's the use? There are still many more inside, including the Seven Stars, immortals, and the Rock King."

"Can you defeat the Seven Stars? Can you defeat the Celestials? Can you defeat the Rock Lord? You can't. But if you defeat the Thousand Rock Army here, the situation will be completely different. You'll be making an enemy of the entire Liyue."

Feng Shan Jueyun's earnest and heartfelt advice left everyone stunned.

"But are we just going to stand by and watch? Besides, is it really that serious? Can this really escalate to the level of the Rock God and the Sage? And I don't believe that the Rock God and the Sage are unreasonable."

Wu Qiu spoke up. In his memory, whether it was Zhongli or the other immortals, although they had different temperaments, they were definitely not unreasonable. Moreover, he felt that what Fengshan Jueyun said was too outrageous. Could such a small matter really escalate to the point of making enemies of Liyue? Was he kidding?

Chapter 154: Target: Ryūzuki

"It's better to be safe than sorry. Besides, we don't need to go out at all. We've already taken advantage of that girl; a little flirting will be fine."

He then looked at the group and said, "You don't want to be wanted as soon as you arrive in Liyue, do you?"

The group looked at each other, and indeed, it was not worth getting into big trouble because of a stranger.

Moreover, the girl is not in any danger now. And at this moment, Wu Qiu and the others also saw that Qian Yanjun had probably had his fill of teasing; he withdrew his hand and indeed didn't do anything further, simply letting them pass.

Seeing this, everyone's initial urge to rush out and cause trouble faltered. However, they also knew that if they went there like this, Ying's appearance would definitely cause trouble.

They weren't afraid, but it was indeed inappropriate to clash with the Thousand Rock Army so soon after their arrival. Therefore, they planned to retreat, intending to find another way to sneak in, or wait a few days.

The girl left, wiping away tears as she ran away. Watching her retreating figure, Wu Qiu and the others felt a pang of sadness rise in their hearts.

However, a woman who stepped forward next quickly attracted everyone's attention. This woman weighed roughly 300 pounds, and she was as big as a small mountain.

Looking at Qianyan Jun in front of him with fear in his eyes, he said, "You, you need to be gentle."

"Get out of here!"

The man just kicked her in without even checking her. Wu Qiu asked curiously, "Huh? No need for a body search?"

Fengshan Jueyun shook his head. "Of course not, it's just a check of personal belongings. A body search is just an excuse."

"Heh." Wu Qiu glanced coldly at the Thousand Rock Army, a hint of murderous intent emanating from his eyes, and his expression stiffened. But soon, Wu Qiu shook his head, feeling a lingering fear, and quickly adjusted his breathing, trying his best to regain his composure.

"Let's go quickly."

Paimon reminded them. It was almost their turn; they needed to hurry. So, while the Thousand Rock Army checked the others, they quietly slipped away.

However, by sheer coincidence, that lecherous old man, Qian Yanjun, glanced over here with nothing to do with it. He didn't seem to care when he saw them leaving; after all, it was none of his business, so they left without a second thought.

However, when he saw Ying's back, his heart skipped a beat. Although he couldn't see her face, with his extensive experience with women, he could tell at a glance that she was a beauty, and a stunning one at that.

"stop!"

A sharp shout stopped Wu Qiu and his companions. The entire space seemed to fall silent after that. Wu Qiu and the others didn't turn around; they remained with their backs to the Thousand Rock Army soldier.

"Hey, they didn't enter the Liyue territory, so it's not our responsibility. Don't cause trouble."

One of the accompanying soldiers, Qianyan Jun, had long been disgusted by the former's thuggish behavior. Now, seeing him call out to several people and then seeing Ying, he knew what the former was up to.

So I stepped forward and gave him a reminder. But this old lecher was clearly not going to stop; he just gave me a nonchalant look and strode forward.

"Turn around."

The tone was commanding. Ying and Paimon both frowned. Wu Qiu had his eyes closed; he was in great pain and had a strong urge to turn around and kill him.

And it was getting stronger and stronger. Wu Qiu understood. In the past, when he encountered such evil people, he would just chase them away and teach them a lesson. As long as they didn't threaten him and his companions, he would never kill them.

Now, this guy is clearly no threat to them. Wu Qiu's plan is to ignore him, slap him, and run away.

But now his other half of consciousness is frantically trying to take over, constantly sending Wu Qiu signals to kill him.

This feeling is incredibly uncomfortable and difficult to resist. Unlike schizophrenia, where one mind is in a coma while the other takes over the body, this is a different consciousness forcibly altering Wu Qiu's most fundamental and deepest thoughts.

The Thousand Rock Army had already arrived. Fengshan Jueyun covered his face, turned around and said with a smile, "Um, may I ask what business you have with me, sir?"

"Where are you going?" Although he asked the question, his eyes never left Ying. Fengshan Jueyun was a seasoned veteran; although he was young, he had experienced a lot.

His life motto is to steal if possible, to keep it a secret from others, and to avoid unnecessary trouble.

So he politely said, "Go back now, something came up, so we won't trouble you to take us back."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to lead the way.

"stop!"

And then came another sentence. This time, the guy completely ignored Feng Shan Jueyun and looked at Ying, saying, "Turn around."

Ying didn't hesitate and turned her head directly. Seeing Ying's exquisite face, even this seasoned lecher who had seen countless women was momentarily stunned.

But he quickly regained his composure and revealed a wicked smile, saying, "Now I suspect you've stolen Liyue artifacts, so I need to check."

These words immediately caused an uproar. Feng Shan Jueyun even spoke up directly: "We didn't even go in, so how could there be any theft?"

"If I say it's there, then it's there!"

With a loud shout, he silenced the surrounding murmurs. The Thousand Rock Army soldier strode forward, ready to attack.

But at that moment, Wu Qiu, having calmed down, turned around and said, "My lord, isn't what your Thousand Rock Army is doing a bit inappropriate? Besides, we haven't even entered Liyue's jurisdiction. Aren't you overstepping your bounds?"

He spoke a few words, without any politeness. Wu Qiu was acting normally at this moment, but that didn't mean he wasn't angry; in fact, he was already quite angry.

"What did you say!"

As soon as he saw someone causing trouble, he was about to draw his sword, but at that moment, another member of the Thousand Rock Army couldn't stand it anymore. He stepped forward and pressed the former down, saying, "That's enough, come back with me."

The guy tried to struggle, but then he heard a few words in his ear: "Are you crazy? Don't think that nobody cares here. If you make a move, the investigation will only harm the brothers."

This guy finally realized that he had been carefree for too long and had forgotten that Liyue was a contractual kingdom. He had almost broken the contract just now. Although he didn't know if it would work or if the so-called contract even existed, who would dare to try to break it?

"You're lucky."

He left with a single sentence and was taken away. Wu Qiu and the others didn't want to stay any longer and turned to leave.

"It's you! It's you! Sir! We can't let them go! They're robbers!"

Suddenly, a voice rang out, and then a familiar figure pointed at Wu Qiu and his companions. Looking closer, Wu Qiu... Holy crap! It was the merchant who had run away earlier!

He pointed at Wu Qiu and the others and shouted. This shout immediately stopped the two Thousand Rock Army soldiers. The old lecher, in particular, was overjoyed.

"If they're robbers, then capturing them won't be a problem for us."
