I write novels in Liyue

"This girl is quite insightful. She clearly understands whether she wants to climb up the social ladder, become the Victorious Fighting Buddha through the Guijie ceremony, or be the free and unrestrained Monkey King."

Ningguang elegantly sipped her hot tea, looked out the window, smiled faintly, and muttered to herself, "It's a pity that Keqing's goal of getting Fang Qiu to work for Yujingtai is likely to fail."

Outside the window, the wind howled.

Keqing Mansion.

The room was tidy and brightly lit.

Flames were rising from the fireplace.

The whole room was very warm.

Ke Qing, wrapped in a blanket, sat on a soft chair, wearing a purple, semi-transparent nightgown that she had bought while shopping with Fang Qiu. The nightgown was quite daring, and she rarely wore it.

However, since her clothes were wet today, she just picked out a random piece of clothing and only realized how revealing it was after wearing it halfway through.

At this moment, she was sitting at her desk, reading a book intently.

It is "Journey to the West".

The candlelight flickered.

Ke Qing watched it very carefully.

After turning to the last page and finishing reading, she remained silent for a long time, then murmured, "Indeed, we should bring Fang Qiu into Yujingtai, otherwise it would be a waste of his talent. And that Zhong Li, we should also think of a way to invite him to Yujingtai."

She looked out the window.

Amidst the wind and snow outside the window, the faint glow of lights could be seen.

Inside the teahouse on Feiyun Slope.

"Let's conclude today's book discussion here. There's still so much to explore in Fang Qiu's book. Let's get together again in a while and exchange our thoughts."

An elderly man chatted amiably, his face full of joy.

I had a very fruitful day.

Although Zhongli was not very respectful to the Emperor, he was indeed very knowledgeable and many of his insights could be considered profound.

Even he sometimes feels enlightened.

With a round of applause from the crowd, the book seminar came to a successful conclusion, and many scholars got up to leave.

Zhong Li took a sip of tea and got up to leave, but was stopped by a middle-aged man in his fifties.

"Brother Zhongli, wait a moment."

"Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?"

Zhongli asked.

"Thank you so much for accepting my invitation. I've prepared a special gift for you as a token of my appreciation."

"That's what the middle-aged man said."

As he spoke, he took out several beautifully bound books and handed them to Zhongli.

"This is 'The Life Story of the Rock King,' which records a great number of the Rock King's achievements. If you have time, you can read it; it will be of great benefit to you."

"Thank you...."

Zhongli hesitated for a moment, but finally accepted it.

"Well then, Brother Zhongli, see you at the next book club meeting."

Upon seeing Zhongli accept it, the middle-aged man was overjoyed.

The objective has been achieved.

There are two purposes for inviting Zhong Li to the book seminar today.

First, listen to Zhongli's insightful opinions.

Secondly, I wanted to recommend several books on the life of Emperor Yan to Zhongli, so that he could truly appreciate the greatness of the emperor.

The war between the demon gods swept across the land, protecting the people of Liyue. The forging of Mora, the drafting of contracts, and the establishment of trade links between the seven nations led to Liyue Harbor's rise to prominence in Teyvat.

To pioneer education, to shape the spirit of Liyue, and to pass it down through generations.

The book particularly emphasizes the emperor's contributions to education.

Indeed, this great undertaking has allowed the spirit of Liyue to endure for thousands of years, remaining unbroken even as the economies and trade of the seven nations converge in Liyue Harbor, without shaking the fundamentals of its culture.

This is to embrace all things and be as secure as a rock.

"Goodbye."

Zhongli nodded, put away the book in his hand, and left the teahouse. Holding an oil-paper umbrella, he walked towards the Hall of Rebirth.

Amidst the wind and snow, the young man walked through the snow, his umbrella never shifting even slightly.

At this moment, in the teahouse by the roadside, Su Xiaoqi had also finished reading "Journey to the West" to the two of them. When she saw that Tang Sanzang and his companions had gone through eighty-one tribulations and finally achieved enlightenment, a look of determination rose in her eyes.

She watched Zhongli walking through the wind and snow, his resolute figure seemingly etched into her memory. She murmured, "Once you've chosen your path, don't hesitate. Heaven rewards diligence. Even if you face countless hardships and brave wind and snow, as long as your will is as firm as a rock, you will eventually succeed..."

"Xiao Qi, what did you say?"

The skinny man looked happy; he enjoyed spending time with Su Xiaoqi, even though Su Xiaoqi hadn't shown any signs of liking him.

"It's okay, let's call it a day. If we go back any later, my sister will start nagging again."

Su Xiaoqi said.

"Okay, okay. I'll take you home."

"That's what the skinny guy said."

"No need, I want to buy some things on my way home."

Su Xiaoqi said.

She wanted to buy some writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones.

It's not that she doesn't have any at home, it's just that she might need a lot of ink next.

"Uh, okay then."

The skinny man paused, a hint of disappointment in his voice.

Chapter 675 The Lantern Festival is Approaching

After saying goodbye to them, Su Xiaoqi left the teahouse.

The wind and snow suddenly enveloped her petite body. Holding an umbrella, she walked towards the stationery store.

Along the way, the umbrella ribs kept creaking and groaning.

The second floor of the teahouse.

The skinny man stared blankly at Su Xiaoqi as she walked along the road.

He had a strange feeling that Su Xiaoqi seemed to be getting further and further away from him.

Su Xiaoqi arrived at the stationery store, accompanied by two other people: a young girl and a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man walked at the very front.

"Master Chang, what do you need?"

The shop owner greeted them.

"Give me two bottles of ink, two calligraphy brushes, and a stack of paper."

"That's what Master Chang said."

Soon, the shop owner found everything that Master Chang needed.

After paying Mora, Master Chang turned and left.

After reading Fang Qiu's book, he became even more determined.

Where there's a will, there's a way.

After nine lifetimes and eighty-one tribulations, Tang Sanzang finally attained enlightenment.

That Jade Emperor went through 1,750 kalpas, each lasting 129,600 years, before finally attaining the Great Dao of Limitless Emptiness.

As long as I don't give up, one day I will be able to become as famous as Fang Qiu, making my name resound throughout the entire Teyvat continent, transcending life and death.

Thinking of this, Master Chang gripped the pen in his hand tightly.

I will never let go.

With this in mind, he resolutely stepped into the wind and snow.

After Master Chang left, the other shop owner turned his attention to the other two.

"Excuse me, what do you two ladies need?"

"I asked the shop owner."

"I want to be like that Master Chang from before."

Su Xiaoqi said.

"Where is this young lady?"

The shop owner turned to look at another girl wearing a light yellow top and with her hair in pigtails.

"Do you have any quill pens from Mondstadt? Take a look, I'd like to buy a few that I like."

After saying that, the girl added, "I want the most expensive one."

"Got it."

Before long, the shop owner brought the things the two needed.

The girl tried out the pens, and although she wasn't used to them, she still decided to buy more than ten.

Just as she was about to pay, she suddenly noticed that Su Xiaoqi next to her was also holding "Journey to the West." Her eyes lit up, and she asked, "Miss, do you also read Miss Fang Qiu's book?"

"You mean... Journey to the West?"

Su Xiaoqi was about to grab her things and leave with Mora when Mora suddenly spoke to her, leaving her momentarily stunned. After a long pause, she finally responded.

"Besides 'Journey to the West,' do you read any other books by Fang Qiu?"
