Modern Teyvat, bound to the Abyss Spiral

Keqing responded in kind, unwilling to be outdone.

The two of them made a lot of small movements, but Butler Chen on the side looked straight ahead, without any change in expression, as if he saw nothing and heard nothing.

"Miss, the house next door has started to be renovated. You can go and have a look when you have a chance. I have some other things to do here, so I'll take my leave first."

"Uncle Chen, you go ahead and do your work."

Butler Chen turned and left the living room.

"Why didn't I realize before that you have a talent for biting?" Li Qingping had just let go, but he did not forget to tease Keqing.

"Hmph, you haven't seen anything more powerful yet!" Keqing held her head high and hung her baseball cap on the hanger at the entrance. The words "reject defeat" were almost written on her forehead.

If being more powerful meant biting, Li Qingping wanted to see it. His thoughts drifted back to that afternoon, when Shen He was wearing a JK...

"What are you thinking about? You're smiling so happily." Keqing casually found an umbrella and pulled Li Qingping along. "It's a good opportunity to go check out our house. It's worth hundreds of millions after all."

Li Qingping was also very curious, so he followed Keqing out and turned to go into the next room.

The house is about 400 square meters, which is not big compared to those manors that often cover several thousand square meters, but this is Yujingtai where every inch of land is valuable.

"It's the same place I lived before, with three floors above ground, one floor underground, and the living room on the first floor..."

When talking about the house and its decoration design, Keqing seemed to have awakened her civil engineering spirit and began to tell Li Qingping in great detail how good the house was.

Of course, what she mentioned most was the future.

"Anyway, I want to sleep on the third floor!" Keqing said and immediately looked at Li Qingping, her eyes full of hope.

Li Qingping still remembers what the decoration plan looked like. There were two master bedrooms on the third floor.

One of the eldest daughters is leaving, so who should the remaining one be given to?

That was Li Qingping's concern, she didn't care.

"Okay, then I'll go pick a room on the second floor. It doesn't matter where I sleep."

"no!"

Li Qingping didn't care, but Keqing was anxious.

"If all else fails, go to the first floor."

"Neither!"

"What does the young lady want?" Li Qingping looked at Keqing jokingly.

"..." Keqing's cheeks instantly glowed with a light pink halo, like a newly ripe apple, making people want to take a bite, "You are so bad!!"

The fight for the room ended with Keqing's defeat. The eldest lady pouted and said that everything would be arranged by the director from now on.

The house had just started being renovated and there wasn't much to see, so Li Qingping and Keqing took a look around and left.

After returning home, Keqing took Li Qingping to her room on the second floor.

"This is not a good idea. After all, it's your private space." Li Qingping said as he entered Keqing's boudoir.

The huge bed of unknown brand, the expensive clothes filling the entire closet, and even the rag dolls piled up in the corner did not attract Li Qingping's attention. He was looking at the huge floor-to-ceiling window.

A whole wall of multi-layered, heat-insulating glass opens onto a large balcony. Yujing Terrace is situated on a high ground, and standing on the windowsill, one can gaze out upon the misty and rain-soaked Yunlai Sea.

There was a canvas chair on the balcony. Raindrops fell on the balcony handrail, and many splashing water droplets were sprinkled on the canvas chair, leaving dark spots.

The canvas armchair was covered in dust. I guess Keqing didn't like to sit on it. It was more decorative than practical, just like someone who has bought a few ornaments that looked good but were not very useful.

On the contrary, there were some unusual wear and tear on the wooden door frame leading to the balcony, as if it was left by people leaning on it frequently. The height was just up to Li Qingping's knees.

I think on countless nights when the lights were turned off, there were people hugging their knees, leaning against the balcony door frame, quietly watching the prosperity and bustle outside.

"When you're tired, just look at Yunlaihai. For so many years, I've relied on it to relieve the pent-up stress in my heart." Keqing glanced at Li Qingping, as if she had uncovered a secret that belonged only to her. She quickly looked away and asked guiltily, "Is there a problem?"

"Would you like to watch the Clouds Come Sea together tonight?"

"What?!" Keqing was stunned for a moment. "The Yunlai Sea is right outside your house, haven't you seen enough?"

"Then I'll watch it alone, you go to sleep."

"No, take me with you!"

Keqing then took Li Qingping to visit the remaining rooms on the second floor.

"This is grandpa's room. Next to it is my storage room, and to the right is another storage room. I have a lot of clothes, and they can't fit here. Some of them have been moved to other houses."

Except for Old Yuhengxing's room, Keqing opened the doors of the remaining rooms one by one and took Li Qingping to see some of the clothes she had worn since she was a child.

These clothes were all covered with dust bags and hung on different hangers in chronological order. Li Qingping saw a purple dress hanging on the hanger in the middle.

There is also a handwritten label on the hanger - First meeting.

That was Keqing's handwriting. As for the so-called first meeting, Li Qingping thought it should refer to the time when he was working as a part-time waiter at the Debo Hotel and met Keqing by chance.

The eldest lady is quite romantic and she specially took out this dress and stored it separately.

"What's the master bedroom on the third floor?" Li Qingping came out of Keqing's storage room and asked softly.

"Same as your home." Keqing said indifferently.

That should be the room of Keqing's deceased parents. Li Qingping didn't ask any more questions and took her hand.

Keqing held on tightly, and the two walked down the stairs side by side.

The sky gradually darkened, but the rain outside showed no sign of stopping, instead it was getting heavier.

Li Qingping felt that the rain was a bit strange. The rain was mixed with elemental forces that were so subtle that they were difficult to detect. It was exactly the same as when he used the Fang of Osel to cause rainfall.

How could there be two people with exactly the same abilities in this world? Unless there are some bad guys with evil intentions.

Li Qingping looked out the window and his mind became clearer.

"Sorry to have kept our little Qingping waiting for a long time." There was a noise outside the house. Old Yuhengxing pushed open the door and walked into the living room with a smile.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw that his granddaughter was not sitting at all. She took off her shoes and nestled in Li Qingping's arms, browsing her mobile phone. When she saw her grandfather walk in, she just looked up at him.

"And me." Keqing responded complainingly, and hugged Li Qingping who wanted to stand up to greet him.

The general meaning is that if you leave, who will I rely on?

Old Yuhengxing also waved his hand, indicating that Li Qingping did not need to be polite. He took the hot tea handed to him by Butler Chen and sat on a chair beside him. "You are old, so it's not a big deal if you go hungry for a while."

"I'm only nineteen!!" Keqing protested.

"Just tell me if he is older than Xiao Qingping." Old Yuhengxing took a sip of hot tea and smiled with his eyes narrowed.

"...Then you're older!"

"I've been married for a long time, unlike you who are still single."

"Who said I'm single?" Keqing finally found the omission in her grandfather's words and immediately put her face close to Li Qingping's arm. "See? My boyfriend!"

"Xiao Qingping, why do you like my granddaughter? Did you get deceived by her? Why don't you find someone else? I know quite a few promising young women." Old Yuhengxing was extremely surprised. Li Qingping could not see any acting skills on his face.

It's just like the real thing!

But Li Qingping simply didn't believe that Old Yuhengxing didn't know.

The old man was probably afraid that his granddaughter would become too obsessed with love and not even get a legal status.

Li Qingping stopped Keqing, who was about to go to the ancestral temple to ask for family discipline, and said solemnly: "Keqing and I are dating. She is now my girlfriend. Why don't you introduce the promising young woman you know to someone else?"

"Oh, that's such a pity. How could you pick someone like this at such a young age? Our family is in the wrong in this matter... Old Chen."

"Master." Butler Chen came and brought the prepared things without waiting for Old Yuhengxing to speak again.

It was a bank card, and judging by the card, the person was probably older than Li Qingping.

"The card is full of Keqing's New Year's money. I also deposited some more money into it. It's only 4 billion. You can use it first. Keqing is unreliable. She only knows how to spend money all day. You will have to be the one making the decisions at home from now on."

Old Yuhengxing said this with regret, but a big smile appeared on his face.

Li Qingping just stood there in a daze.

How many? !

Four billion!

This money is enough to kill thirteen Freyas and still have 100 million left!

"Don't stand there like an idiot. I already have 1.9 billion in New Year's money. Take it quickly." Keqing leaned close to Li Qingping's ear and urged him. Seeing that he didn't respond, she trotted to Old Yuhengxing in her slippers, took out the card and stuffed it into Li Qingping's hand.

But which good person can have 1.9 billion in pocket money?

"They say it's New Year's money, but it's actually her parents' dowry." Old Yuhengxing looked at Keqing, completely devoid of the smile he had shown Li Qingping. His face was stern, "You can't use this money!"

"Hehe, once it's in our hands, that may not be the case anymore!" Keqing was so proud that she didn't listen to what Old Yuhengxing said at all.

"Ahem... I'll keep it for her for now." Li Qingping tried to return the card to Keqing from behind, but was pushed back again.

We’ll divide the loot after we get out!

Li Qingping understood and put the card in his pocket.

Wow, this couple has a pretty good relationship!

Old Yuhengxing saw everything, chuckled, and stood up: "Then let's eat."

The three of them sat down at the table, and after Butler Chen served the food, he was also pulled over to sit down.

The four of them ate for nearly an hour, and then Butler Chen started to lead people to clean up the mess.

"Xiao Qingping, can you accompany this old bone of mine for a walk?"

Old Yuhengxing stood at the door, and Li Qingping followed quickly.

"I can't ask for it."

Keqing looked confused: "Isn't it raining outside?"

"Your man won't get wet, why worry about it?"

She was left speechless by Old Yuhengxing's words and simply went upstairs to take a shower.

Li Qingping and Lao Yuhengxing each held an umbrella and walked into the rain.

"How much do you know about family matters?" Old Yuhengxing spoke after walking for a while.

"Yuntian, the heir of the Demon God of Life, is dying." Li Qingping replied.

"Alas," sighed Old Yuhengxing, his once upright back stooping. "Eighteen generations ago, our family was proud to have become Seven Stars, contributing to Liyue. But after eighteen generations, things changed. The more effort you put in, the more you can atone for your sins."

"Old Yuheng Star..."

"Just like Keqing, you can call me grandpa, but don't mention it in front of Gechenlangshi Zhenjun."

"Grandpa, what did Yuntian do in Liyue back then?" Li Qingping got straight to the point. "I've read the records from that time, and the Abyss was wreaking havoc in Liyue City."

"Yuntian wanted to run for the Seven Stars race and wanted to use his family's influence, but his father and eldest brother didn't support him."

"But according to the records and the oral statements of several immortals, Yuntian should be very outstanding."

"Excellent..." Old Yuhengxing sighed again, "Perhaps the immortal masters, remembering our ancestors' contributions to Liyue, have given our family some face."

Old Yuhengxing spoke again: "Yuntian had contact with the Abyss Cult during his time in the Qianyan Army. His so-called military exploits were all a show put on by the Abyss Cult."

"Is this all fake?"

"It was later discovered that his competitor for the Seven Stars position was Rong Zhao. Rong Zhao also had a brother named Bo Yang. Their achievements are truly remarkable... Without these two, the Layered Rock Abyss would have been breached by the abyss." Old Yuhengxing sighed. "You should also recognize this Rong Zhao's descendant."

"who is it?"

"Ye Lan."

Volume 1: 130. Jean: Where did Barbara get her boyfriend?!

It turns out that Sister Lan’s ancestors were also rich!

"Brother Rong Zhao used their family's secret techniques to delay the Abyss's attack. In the end, Boyang was killed, and Rong Zhao barely managed to escape with his life." Old Yuhengxing didn't wait for the shock on Li Qingping's face to fade. He walked ahead alone and spoke slowly, "Rong Zhao has been valiantly serving in the Qianyan Army. He was later transferred back to Yujingtai. He is highly regarded as the next Seven Stars."

"Because his ancestor was the first generation of Kaiyangxing, Yuntian received a lot of attention, and he also liked the feeling of being in the spotlight in front of outsiders. Others would memorize 300 ancient poems, but he only chose to recite those less popular ones, just to get a word of praise in front of everyone."

"At the time, his eldest brother described him as scheming. Yuntian, thanks to his ancestors' connections, was able to come into contact with several immortals, who, appreciating his talent, taught him some introductory immortal techniques. However, learning immortal techniques wasn't his goal. He simply wanted to leverage the influence of the immortals to climb to the top of the Seven Stars of Liyue. To that end, he even tried to contact True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang to see if he could provide him with some assistance."

"True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang was incredibly perceptive. He immediately sensed Yuntian's intentions and flatly refused. He never saw him again. It's funny, but it was Yuntian's elder brother, whom he had always looked down upon, who finally caught the eye of an immortal, cultivated immortal techniques to prolong his life, and lived to see four generations living together. He died with a smile on his face."

"As expected, Rong Zhao was appointed to the position of Tianshu Star. Yun Tian, ​​who was eliminated, harbored resentment and began to contact the Abyss Cult more frequently. He eventually caused a major disturbance in the city and rebelled against Liyue."

After listening to Old Yuhengxing's description, Li Qingping had a clearer understanding of Yuntian.
