Modern Teyvat, bound to the Abyss Spiral

He also remembered that Feiyun Logistics had donated a teaching building to the school for 2000 million Mora last week.

You call this a small fortune?

No wonder Xingqiu didn't study at any prestigious or upstanding school, nor was he suppressed by the martial arts leader, Lao Zhang. It turned out that he had a father far away in the martial arts world who was carrying the heavy burden for him!

"Are you here for the boss's daughter too?" Li Qingping said.

"What big boss? Oh, you mean Old Yuheng? He is indeed a big boss." Xingqiu suddenly realized, "I have no interest in his granddaughter."

It turns out that the boss is the previous Yuheng Star!

Li Qingping understood and thought it was no wonder that such a cocktail party could be organized.

"Why are you here too? Do you have any feelings for Senior Keqing?" Xingqiu's expression suddenly became nervous and he asked hurriedly.

"I'm here to work part-time," Li Qingping explained.

When he told him the hourly wage, Xingqiu's eyes widened.

"We've booked the entire Debo Hotel, and hired so many extra people. The venue fee plus the labor..." Xingqiu's fingers kept moving in the air. "This cocktail party will cost at least 200 million Mora. Senior sister's family is really rich!"

Old Yuheng's granddaughter is called Keqing, and Li Qingping always feels that he has heard this name somewhere before.

"It sounds familiar."

"Mr. Li usually just sleeps and skips classes after waking up, so of course he doesn't remember anything." Knowing that Li Qingping was not here for Keqing, Xingqiu was no longer nervous and started to joke around.

This statement is problematic for everyone else, except Xingqiu.

If you don’t know, you might think Xingqiu is some model student!

Li Qingping may sleep or skip classes, but he has never been out of the top ten in the grade in the cultural exams. This is why the martial arts leader Lao Zhang turned a blind eye to it.

"Don't be pretentious."

"That's Keqing, the one who only appeared on the student roster and never attended school for a single day!"

Li Qingping was impressed by what Xingqiu said.

Keqing is also a student of Liyue Second High School, but she is just a figurehead and has not appeared since the first day of school.

Normally, three years would have passed like this, and the fact that someone was missing from the class wouldn't have caused much of a stir. But when the Gaokao results were announced last year, Keqing happened to be the top scorer.

Students from other schools began to ask the college entrance examination candidates of Liyue Second High School indirectly who Wenquxing this was, hoping to see his glory.

The college entrance examination candidates in No. 2 Middle School are all confused. They haven't attended classes for even a single day, but it's as if we've met before!

So this mysterious senior student became a legend and went viral among high school students. Many people even made tablets for her and placed them in their dormitories, saying that worshiping her was more effective than worshipping Conan.

Who wouldn’t want to be able to win the title of top scholar without attending classes for a day?

"Actually, all the rumors are false," Xingqiu said. "Keqing's family can be traced back to the Emperor's founding of Liyue. The first Kaiyangxing is Keqing's ancestor. Their family is famous for its strict family traditions. They hire famous teachers for individual instruction, and children have no freedom until they reach adulthood, and this continues until they reach adulthood. According to their family tradition, once the younger generation gets married, starts a family, and has children, the older generation will step down and give up the position of head of the family. That's a family business that's been passed down for thousands of years, and most of the people attending the reception are here for it."

"How do you know all this?" Li Qingping asked in confusion.

"I didn't know at first. I spent a lot of money to ask someone to carve a tablet for my senior sister, and prepared to put it in the classroom. A female knight couldn't bear to let me stay in the dark, so she told me the truth." Xingqiu glanced at Li Qingping secretly while explaining.

"That female hero is quite nice." Li Qingping complained.

"Who says it's not true? But some people just don't know what's good for them and are indifferent to the female hero." Xingqiu nodded in agreement.

"Is the heroine's information reliable?" Li Qingping asked, confused.

"Absolute inside information! Liyue doesn't know much about this secret. Even though those people inside are dressed well, few of their fathers are qualified to know about this!" Xingqiu patted his chest and assured Li Qingping.

"He's not here to make money, and he's not interested in Senior Sister Keqing. Hero Xingqiu is planning to make friends with martial arts heroes and overthrow Lao Zhang's position as the leader." Li Qingping teased.

"I didn't want to come, if the martial arts novels under the bed hadn't been discovered. Dad said that if I didn't come, he would lock them all in the safe." Xingqiu said dejectedly.

"That's quite humane. There was no fire."

"Hmph, even though I was rushed to the cocktail party, I just passed the seventh level of the simulated Abyss this afternoon! For this, I fought for the right to decide what to wear!" Xingqiu suddenly straightened his back and showed off his outfit to Li Qingping.

Li Qingping clapped his hands expressionlessly: "Congratulations, congratulations."

"Anyway, I'll just eat inside until the party's over," Xingqiu said nonchalantly. "I can't compare to your hard-earned money."

"Stop talking nonsense and go in quickly. I have something else to do." Li Qingping had seen the waiter coming over with a tray from afar. He thought it must be the golden shrimp balls that the customer ordered.

Xingqiu entered the banquet hall, and Li Qingping took the tray and followed him in.

After entering the door, he saw from afar that there were several young men surrounding the woman who had just ordered food alone.

Beautiful women always have many suitors around them. Even if they have a sign on their face saying "No Admission", it won't stop the suitors. Li Qingping saw this today.

"Excuse me, young lady. My name is... My father runs a shipyard in Liyue and has many business dealings with Old Yuheng."

The nameless man took the first step. He held the goblet and kept shaking the red wine in the glass, but his eyes were dishonestly fixed on the beautiful woman's face.

Liyue is a big city with many rich people. His family's assets cannot be ranked at all, but he feels that his family has some relationship with the old Yuheng, and wants to use this as a bargaining chip to brag and fool the young-looking beauty in front of him.

"That's great." Keqing said expressionlessly.

"Miss, my name is..., and I have contracted twelve mines in Liyue! I believe there will definitely be more cooperation between our two families." Another man, whose name was also unknown, stood up and glanced proudly at the man who had taken the lead.

According to his description, he does have the capital to be proud of it. He can take over twelve mineral deposits and is estimated to have a net worth of 10 billion Mora, which is much stronger than the previous person.

"You're so rich." Keqing pretended to be surprised, but she was actually a little annoyed.

"And I..."

Just as another suitor was about to rush forward to introduce himself, Li Qingping came over with a tray of food.

"These are freshly-cooked golden shrimp balls. Be careful not to get burned, my dear." Li Qingping placed a plate of golden shrimp balls in front of Keqing. "Please enjoy."

Keqing saw the watch on his wrist, and her face was disturbed for a moment, but soon calmed down.

After nodding in thanks to Li Qingping, Keqing ordered them to leave: "I'm not used to having strangers watching me eat, so I won't see you off."

"If you don't mind, I'd like to go with you..."

"I mind." Keqing refused coldly.

Seeing that the suitor next to her showed no sign of leaving, Keqing made a phone call.

Not long after, Li Qingping saw a dozen people enter the banquet hall and head straight towards him.

The foreman, Sister Fang, was also among the dozen or so people, but she was standing on the edge and it seemed that her position was not high enough.

"Miss, I am the manager of Debo Hotel. Please give me your orders." The middle-aged man standing in the center smiled at Keqing.

"Kick these guys out, they are not welcome here." Keqing said in a deep voice.

The security guard at the end of the team carried the people who had been harassing Keqing out the door.

Faced with the security guard who possessed the Eye of God, those people couldn't even resist, and their mouths were forcibly blocked when they wanted to shout.

"Have a nice day." After saying that, the manager led his people away.

The cocktail party was so noisy that what happened in a corner of the banquet hall didn't even attract many people's attention.

It seemed that the lady in front of him was even richer than those men. Li Qingping didn't want to get involved and quietly slipped away.

Instead, Keqing, who was eating golden shrimp balls, suddenly raised her head and looked at Li Qingping with interest: "Is this how everyone experiences life?"

……

……

……

The banquet hall was huge, but Li Qingping still found Xingqiu accurately. After all, he was the only one wearing training clothes to the cocktail party.

There was no one around Xingqiu, so he was eating with his plate in his hand. He put it down only when he saw Li Qingping approaching.

"Hello, have a glass of champagne." Xingqiu waved at Li Qingping.

"Are you an adult? Champagne." Li Qingping ignored him and handed him a drink.

"Back then, school started early. I'm afraid I wasn't even an adult even after the college entrance exam." Xingqiu didn't complain. He raised his cup and gulped it down. "Are you done with your work?"

"I just watched a competition between some wealthy people. Those people were kicked out by the manager. I was afraid of being affected, so I came to find you."

"Which family? Today's host isn't just anyone, yet you dare to cause trouble?" Xingqiu wiped his mouth and asked in surprise.

"I don't know him." Li Qingping said frankly.

"That's such a pity! I'll miss out on such a great show." Xingqiu said with a hint of regret.

"Hey! Isn't this our Young Master Xingqiu? Do you think Miss Keqing also likes martial arts novels?"

A group of people came over from a distance. The man in the lead had a monkey mouth and pointed cheeks, and his face looked ordinary, but he wore a big gold chain around his neck and had dyed red hair, which made him look particularly arrogant.

"Who is this, your enemy?" Li Qingping asked curiously.

"Master Li is truly oblivious to what's happening outside. That guy is He Qun, from the class next door," Xingqiu said helplessly. "His father is Lord Maocai, who practically monopolizes Liyue's ore trade. Only a few penniless people are left at home."

"How does it compare to your home?"

"It's about the same, but Feiyun Logistics has a bright future. It's only a matter of time before it surpasses him."

Those with similar wealth are the real enemies. It is more painful to see them making money than to lose money.

While Li Qingping and Xingqiu were talking in a low voice, He Qun had already walked up to them.

"Feiyun Logistics has already expanded its business to Inazuma, so how come you can't even find a decent piece of clothing at home? I'm asking you to come out dressed like this and embarrass yourself!" He Qun, wearing a high-end designer suit, looked down at Xingqiu.

"Oh, I see. So the rumors are true. The license you obtained from the Kanjo Bugyo has been revoked. You can't get back the money you invested in Inazuma!" He Qun pressed aggressively. "You can't afford nice clothes at home? Why didn't you tell me? We, the He family, can still afford a decent suit."

The followers behind He Qun burst into laughter and started to bully Xingqiu.

"I haven't paid much attention to Inazuma's business. After all, Fontaine and Winter's are too big to take over," Xingqiu said. "But I heard that the Seven Stars of Liyue are planning to conduct a cleanup of monopoly businesses this year. I wonder if your family's mineral business can hold up."

"You!" He Qun was hit in the vitals. He smashed the cup in his hand and rushed towards Xingqiu with his fists waving.

"Sir, I think you are drunk." Xingqiu was about to take action when Li Qingping pulled him behind him.

He Qun has the rock-attributed divine eye, but he did not use elemental power when swinging his punch, so he was easily stopped by Li Qingping.

"Where are you from? You're just a small waiter. I can make you disappear from Liyue tonight with just a flick of my finger... Li Qingping!" He Qun recognized Li Qingping, but became even more annoyed the next moment, and the Eye of God on his waist shone even brighter.

"Brother He, calm down, we can't fight here!" Seeing this, the followers behind him hurriedly grabbed He Qun.

Li Qingping actually wanted He Qun to take action. This was a trap set by Old Yuheng for his granddaughter. If he took the initiative to cause trouble, he would be offending his reputation.

Moreover... Li Qingping knew at first glance that He Qun was just a show-off, and he would probably have a hard time dealing with a single thug, the Qiuqiuren.

Everyone's eyes were focused on him, and He Qun also woke up.

"He seems to hate me even more. What's going on?" Li Qingping asked in a low voice.

"He's been pursuing Shen He for three years, don't you know?" Xingqiu didn't know what to say. "Everyone in No. 2 Middle School knows that Shen He only wants to talk to you. What do you think?"

Actually, Xingqiu wanted to say that everyone in No. 2 Middle School can see that Shen He is interested in you, and you ask me what's going on!

"So you think I stole his girlfriend?"

"Congratulations, you got it."

"Just because we chat for a while, we're boyfriend and girlfriend?"

“Maybe he thinks that’s the way it is.”

I wish Shen He was really his girlfriend!

"People like this need to have some money at home, otherwise it will be difficult for them to live independently in the future," said Li Qingping.

"Who says it isn't true? Brains and money are inversely proportional. It's really hard for Mr. Maocai to have such a son." Xingqiu also followed suit in a sarcastic tone.

The onlookers finally figured out that the love was unrequited and the dog couldn't stand the fact that the goddess had a man around her who she could talk to, so he was ready to hit him.

The crowd was talking, and Li Qingping also saw Keqing holding a basin of golden shrimp balls.

Volume 1: 10. Immortal Things

Everyone loves to join in the fun, no one is an exception.

But isn't it too much for you to hold a bowl of golden shrimp balls and eat them while watching the show?

"Xingqiu! I'll settle the score with you some other day! Once Feiyun Logistics is kicked out of Inazuma, I'll see if you can still be as tough as you are today!" He Qun said this almost through gritted teeth.

"Let's not postpone it for another day. Let's all be witnesses today. Whoever loses between us will bow down and apologize to the other in public. Do you dare?" Xingqiu insisted.

Previously, it was just a simple quarrel between the two parties, with trash talk being exchanged. But now, the situation has suddenly escalated.

Xingqiu retorted immediately, and it was too late for Li Qingping to stop him.
