Genshin Impact: I, the Winter Prince, reign supreme.

That day, Su Yu was at Wanwen Collection House, explaining some stories from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, quoting the sayings of sages such as Confucius, Lao Tzu, and Sun Tzu, which caused a stir in the intellectual and cultural circles of Liyue.

The sayings of ancient sages have stood the test of time on Earth for hundreds and thousands of years, proving to be true.

These truths are extremely advanced concepts even in Liyue, naturally sparking heated discussions among scholars and students.

"Boss Ji Fang also said that the Dean of Liyue Academy would like to invite you to serve as an honorary lecturer of the academy and to give a public lecture to the students."

Liyue Academy, built by Morax, boasts a history of over a thousand years. It is Liyue's most prestigious institution of learning and a sacred place for Liyue's intellectual and cultural circles.

Today, half of Liyue's officials are graduates of the Liyue Academy, and many students from the other six nations have also chosen to study here, demonstrating the academy's influence.

The title of Honorary Lecturer of Liyue Academy has been awarded to fewer than ten people throughout history.

Liyue Academy went to great lengths to invite Su Yu to give a lecture.

Su Yu smiled helplessly: "This is Morax's duty, and I cannot overstep my bounds."

The profound thoughts expressed in the words of those sages can be said to have reached the pinnacle. If he speaks too much, how will Zhongli continue to speak eloquently in front of his students?

"However, you should reply to the Dean of Liyue Academy that if the students really want to hear my lectures, they can come to Winter Country to study."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The short-haired female manager had a premonition that a large number of young students from Liyue would be going to Winterfall to study.

The fourth officer was a man with a hooked nose and a robust build, who served as a military officer in the delegation.

"Your Highness."

The military officer saluted respectfully, then took out a specially made box with extremely complex incantations drawn on its surface.

“This is what the patrol team found at the door just before dawn last night. At first, the brothers thought it was a jewelry box that someone had accidentally left behind, but after opening the box, they found a severed finger inside.”

"This item exudes an evil and eerie aura, so it is presented here for Your Highness to make a decision."

At this point, the military officer appeared to still feel lingering fear.

"Your Highness, please be careful. The guard who accidentally opened the box suddenly fell into a coma and has not yet woken up."

Su Yu smiled calmly and used his divine power to open the box.

Almost instantly, a fierce and malevolent aura surged forth.

The lady and the general in the hidden mirror shivered simultaneously; it was the height of summer, yet the temperature seemed to have plummeted.

Then, the two of them covered their heads, in great pain.

Su Yu looked closely and saw a withered, shriveled severed finger inside the box. He closed the lid and ordered, "Take it out and burn it. Clean it up."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The military officer didn't ask any further questions and immediately took the box and left.

But he was deeply shocked.

He is quite capable and has even run for the position of executive officer.

However, even the slightest force from the severed finger caused him excruciating pain, while the prince showed no reaction whatsoever.

This is the difference in strength.

The lady in the hidden mirror hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, what was that? Just now, the temperature in the room seemed to drop to almost freezing point, and my head felt like it was being pricked with needles."

Su Yu replied, "The cursed remnant left after the Demon God's death is a part of the Demon God's body. It is surrounded by a wisp of the Demon God's filthy power."

The lady with the hidden mirror said warily, "Someone must be trying to harm His Highness, which is why they deliberately left this kind of thing at the door."

Su Yu refuted her deduction.

"There's no need to investigate this matter; the severed finger was delivered by the Dharma Protector Yaksha Xiao."

"This should be the spoils he obtained last night from fighting against the evil entity formed from the demon god's resentment."

"He sent the severed finger here to prove that he used the Heart Sutra I taught him to defeat a powerful demon."

Chapter 134 The Sorrowful Man is Engulfed in Flames

"Your Highness, that guardian yaksha will be grateful to you for the rest of his life."

The lady in the mirror tried to empathize with Xiao's state of mind.

After a night of fierce fighting, Xiao delivered a severed finger of a demon to the prince's door just before dawn. At that moment, Xiao must have felt both fulfilled and at peace.

This was a blessing from Prince Winter, granting him the power to overcome all evil in the world.

"Your Highness, are you really planning to take a concubine? This is no small matter, and I must report it to Her Majesty the Empress."

The lady with the mirror in her eyes murmured, her mood low.

"The sorrowful are engulfed in flames, and the fallen are unforgivable."

While reading the dossier, Su Yu calmly ordered, "Select some capable women from the delegation and have them mingle among the wealthy young ladies present. Make sure they are safe tonight."

Zang Jingshi was taken aback.

I have a vague feeling that this matter is related to the missing girl case recorded in the "Liyue Mystery Files".

The worry in her eyes quickly disappeared, replaced by deep respect.

Over the course of a century in Liyue, hundreds of young women have gone missing. It is likely that most of those missing women met a tragic end, as their remains have never been found.

The murderer is still at large and even brazenly left a note at the scene. He is too arrogant and outrageous.

As a woman, she felt great sympathy for the missing women and wanted to bring the murderer behind the unsolved cases to justice.

However, she was of low rank and had little influence, so she dared not say these things to Su Yu in person.

It turns out that His Highness had already conceived the idea of ​​apprehending the murderer while reading the case file, which is why he spent several nights in the following days reviewing the information recorded in the case file.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The lady in the hidden mirror was overjoyed.

Having witnessed the drowning of Hua Chu in the previous case, she had unwavering faith in Su Yu's crime-solving abilities and believed that with Su Yu's help, this biggest unsolved case in Liyue's history would finally be solved.

This is the prince she loves most, who dares to fight against all the sins of the world and is full of justice!

"Your Highness, the Detective General requests an audience."

Suddenly, a guard announced from outside the door.

"The Thousand Rock Army officer in charge of criminal cases in Liyue Harbor?"

The case of Hua Chu's drowning was handled by this detective general.

The "Liyue Mystery Files" in Su Yu's hands were the very file that the Detective General had sent to the mission's headquarters.

"Your Highness, it is indeed this person."

"Let him in."

After reporting to Su Yu, the detective general entered the study.

Upon seeing Su Yu, he hurriedly knelt on one knee and said, "Your Highness, I humbly request your assistance."

The detective general is an official specializing in criminal cases. He has solved numerous cases and apprehended many murderers. Logically, he shouldn't be so out of control.

Unless, of course, something extremely urgent has happened.

Su Yu waved his hand and said, "No need for formalities, tell me the details."

"Attorney Yanfei disappeared last night and her whereabouts are unknown! I have ordered the entire city to be sealed off and sent the Thousand Rock Army to search house to house, but unfortunately, we have been searching since midnight and still have found nothing..."

Yesterday, after a full day of court proceedings, Ye Lan's lawsuit against Su Yu for "economic fraud" came to an end.

The court in Liyue ruled against Yelan, and Yanfei came to inform the defendant, Suyu, of the judgment.

Because the case involved the reputation of Prince Zhidong, the judges strived for a more precise judgment, which greatly extended the trial time. What should have been a half-day trial continued until night.

Yanfei disappeared on the way from the courthouse to the Winter Mission's residence.

"Is it confirmed to be a missing person case, and not that they went somewhere else, like to meet with other immortals?"

Yan Fei is a demigod whose whereabouts are usually unpredictable. He might go to Luofu Cave or the cave of some immortal.

The detective general replied, "Your Highness, the immortals have sent someone to report a case. Their people are waiting outside the door."

"Let them in to see me."

With Yan Fei suddenly disappearing, Su Yu needs to have a complete and clear understanding of the case.

Soon, footsteps could be heard outside.

“Chongyun, heir of the exorcism family, pays respects to Your Highness the Prince.”

"Xingqiu, the second young master of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, pays his respects to His Highness the Prince."

Two handsome young men with delicate features knelt down and bowed to Su Yu.

"Get up, everyone. Who reported this?"

Xingqiu and Chongyun nervously raised their heads, only to be stunned.

The person before me was none other than the extraordinary man who sat next to Mr. Zhongli at the Wanwenjishe auction.

That day, Su Yu was generous and extravagant, bidding on several exhibits and leaving a deep impression on them.

I always thought Su Yu was Zhong Li’s friend, but I never expected him to be the legendary Prince Zhi Dong!

Suppressing his surprise, Chongyun replied, "It was I who reported the case, Your Highness. Sister Yanfei had arranged to drink with my aunt last night, but she didn't come all night, so my aunt hurriedly sent me to report the case to Qianyan Army. Then, Detective General brought me and Xingqiu to see you."

At this point, Chongyun's forehead was covered in sweat from excessive worry.

Not only his forehead, but also the top of his head was steaming with white vapor.

Chongyun felt hot and restless all over, and was about to lose consciousness.

Xingqiu, who was standing nearby, quickly took out an ice pack and placed it on Chongyun's forehead. After a while, Chongyun finally recovered and explained apologetically, "Your Highness, I am truly sorry. I am a 'pure yang body,' and this type of body is sensitive to heat. On the way here, I was in the sun for too long, which caused my body temperature to rise too high."

After saying that, he didn't forget to explain, "My good friend Xingqiu came here specifically to take care of me."

If someone sent by a deity reports a case, it can indeed be classified as a missing person case.

Having confirmed this, Su Yu turned to look at the Detective General: "Any clues along the route from the courthouse to the mission's residence?"

"Your Highness, it was dark at the time, and there were few pedestrians on the street, so there were no eyewitnesses. However, we found two notes, which Your Highness may examine."
