He changed Tiwat

Miss Gan Yu is gentle and considerate, but unfortunately she is a very busy person. Apart from taking a nap, she spends all her precious time buried in piles of files and working hard.

Although I have working hours, I am happy.

The job I chose is much easier than theirs.

That being said, trouble can still arise. Like those two vendors today, they kept brandishing watermelon knives at the drop of a hat in their fight for a spot…

The task of popularizing legal knowledge in Liyue Harbor is arduous and long-term... But I have long made up my mind that the law is my way of protecting Liyue Harbor!

Shen He's sister didn't come back yesterday. I heard she went on a business trip with Mr. Han. I wonder where she went?

The saying in Liyue goes, "Food is the first necessity of the people." I originally thought that Shenhe, like Ganyu, only ate vegetarian food, but Shenhe said that she doesn't avoid meat or oil.

So last night I showed off my skills and made a dish I created myself called "Zi You Fang Yuan" (meaning "A World of Its Own Dimensions"). Hehe, Mr. Han praised my cooking skills highly.

The key to making this dish is twofold: first, the broth; second, the crab roe. But most importantly—you must meticulously and strictly adhere to the "Crab Roe Tofu Rules"!

The process, specifications, and taste must all be flawless!

Stir-fry the crab roe until the oil is released, then add the pre-blanched tofu and mix with broth... Don't be fooled by the simple ingredients, the taste is quite good.

The tofu is so delicate it's almost translucent, so soft and tender; the crab roe is rich and juicy, bursting with flavor in every bite.

Shen He also said that this was the best tofu dish she had eaten since coming down from the mountain.

Well, it's not too much for me to be proud, is it?

Sigh, I've found that just one day after she left, I already miss the days when I could eat with someone.

Just like Dad said, food tastes better when everyone eats together.

…………

"Hmm, people who can understand the subtleties of the 'Tofu Law' are rare indeed. I'll make it for Dad and Mom when they come back from their trip."

Yan Fei nodded to her diary as she turned to the next page.

Liyue Calendar, Year 37xx, March 1th, Sunny.

Today I went to Feiyunpo to mediate a dispute.

It's that time again that merchants in Liyue are refusing to accept Mora from out-of-town customers. This is the third time I've encountered this recently.

This time, even the owner of "Starry Night Shop," Xingxi, has started accepting only Liyue coins.

Promoting and using Liyue currency is a good thing, but if it causes disputes or even affects the company's reputation, isn't that putting the cart before the horse?

Furthermore, some familiar foreign businessmen have recently come to me with complaints, saying that Liyue merchants are discriminating against foreign businessmen. It seems I need to find an opportunity to investigate this matter thoroughly.

Liyue Calendar, Year 37xx, March 2nd, Cloudy.

I went to Yujingtai this morning to greet my maternal grandmother.

Grandma still loves gardening as much as ever. I heard that the seeds Miss Keqing gave her during the Lantern Festival will sprout soon, and I imagine she'll invite me to her place to admire the flowers in a while. Then I'll prepare lunch and have a picnic with Grandma!

By the way, I saw two people on the Jade Capital Terrace today.

One of them was Mr. Zhongli, a guest elder of the "Hall of Rebirth". Yes, that's the Mr. Zhongli I've always been curious about.

Mr. Zhongli is a man of profound knowledge and exceptional eloquence; he is truly a walking encyclopedia. I feel I have read a great many books, but compared to him, I always have a sense of "I am still far behind." Learning has no end, learning has no end.

I could tell at a glance that he was a man of few words, and probably had some connection with the ascetics in Liyue Harbor. People like that are usually not afraid of trouble, and even if they run into trouble, they wouldn't ask me for help. In my opinion, he's definitely not a potential client.

The other is the legendary "Hall Master." According to local rumors, this "Hall Master of the Hall of Rebirth" is an eccentric man, afflicted with strange habits from the funeral industry, behaving in bizarre ways. Some even say that one should not approach him, or misfortune will befall them…

I initially thought the rumors were unreliable. "Wang Sheng Tang" is engaged in a legitimate industry, a basic unit of commerce. Besides, work is just work; there's no distinction between high and low, noble and base, auspicious and inauspicious.

But today I know why people said that... That little girl in all black was shouting "Second monument half price" while stuffing "Wang Sheng Tang" flyers into my grandmother's hand. I couldn't stop her! I've remembered this little girl named Hu Tao. I will never let her get close to my grandmother again.

And that Mr. Zhongli, all he does is sit there drinking tea and doesn't even care about his master! The master seems to be on very good terms with him, honestly!

Speaking of Mr. Zhongli, there's an inexplicable sense of familiarity about him, like... a feeling of déjà vu, as if I've seen him somewhere before. Sigh, I can't quite put my finger on it. I asked my dad about it before, and he stammered that he wasn't familiar with Mr. Zhongli and didn't understand what I was talking about...

Hmph, he clearly knows something but doesn't want to tell me. No problem, I'll investigate myself. I'm Liyue Harbor's top legal consultant; when I get serious, no one can hide their identity from me!

…………

"Hmm, when Grandma invites me to admire the flowers next time, I'll take advantage of her good mood and pester her to tell me about Mr. Zhongli's identity. Since Mr. Zhongli was able to get flower tea from Grandma, she must know him."

Unable to suppress her curiosity, Yan Fei secretly made a decision.

…………

Liyue Calendar, Year 37xx, March 3rd, Cloudy.

Mr. Han and Shen He have returned from their business trip.

When I asked Shen He what she had done, she said it was a secret. But I'm really curious!

Speaking of which, Ye Lan also traveled with them this time, but when I asked Ye Lan, her expression was very strange.

Especially when I mentioned Mr. Han's name, she looked disgusted... Something must have happened between them. I'll find a chance to ask Mr. Han next time.

…………

Liyue Calendar, Year 37xx, March 4th, Sunny.

Make sure to write down what happened today—

There are fake Mora in Liyue Harbor! There are fake Mora! There are fake Mora!

Say the important thing three times.

Whew, to be honest, I'm still in shock.

Mr. Han told me this news at the dock that afternoon.

Moreover, he even asked me to investigate Ye Lan!

He knew perfectly well that Ye Lan was Ning Guang's direct intelligence officer, yet he still asked me to investigate her whereabouts!

This is really strange.

I bet he angered Ye Lan, and I'm sure I'm right—he has absolutely no idea what girls are thinking!

But since it's a request from a VIP client, of course I agreed. And for the sake of the boiled black-backed sea bass, I won't charge him a commission.

Well, to be honest, his boiled black-backed bass was absolutely delicious!

However, the information I gathered...

After parting ways with Mr. Han, Shen He and I went to Yan Shang Tea House on the way. We originally wanted to pretend to bump into Ye Lan and have a chat, but we just happened to see Ye Lan chatting with a nearby shopkeeper.

After Ye Lan left, I went to ask the merchant... Ye Lan was actually gossiping about Mr. Han and Ning Guang, and even said that the two of them had made an appointment to meet tomorrow!

I told Shen He that this might be a false rumor spread by Ye Lan out of spite towards Mr. Han. Shen He said it was alright, her master had just taught her what to do in this kind of situation a few days ago, and then she went to find Mr. Han.

After they returned, Mr. Han explained that tomorrow was not a date, but Ningguang had invited him to have tea to discuss work.

I'm a little curious about how Shen He will handle this matter. What exactly did Liu Yun Zhenjun teach her?

……

I know what True Monarch Liuyun taught her. I'd better pretend I don't.

……

What time is it? The landlord needs to sleep!

……

Five times already... Why am I counting?

I'm going to talk to Shen He's sister tomorrow.

…………

Yan Fei turned the page with a flushed face, picked up her pen, and wrote down today's diary entry.

…………

Liyue Calendar, Year 37xx, March 5th, Sunny.

Shenhe's sister said that Liuyun Zhenjun taught her a theory that came from Sumeru. As long as people enter the "period of tranquility and perfection", they will become like the "sages" of Sumeru, without desires or wants.

It seems that Mr. Han was already in a state of enlightenment when he went out today.

In addition, the investigation into Yelan failed.

While I was following Ye Lan, she suddenly disappeared. A few seconds later, she reappeared behind me and pinched my horn hard.

The corners are very sensitive!

It wasn't exactly a complete failure, as she had just left the General Affairs Department at that time.

I later went to the General Affairs Department to ask around and learned that Yelan, as a special envoy, had applied for a special permit to enter the Layered Rock Abyss.

I'll tell Mr. Han about this tomorrow.

He only returned recently, and he had changed his clothes. He looked somber and seemed to be in a bad mood.

After entering the door, he called out "Ahe" once, and then refused to say anything else, just sitting in the living room.

Shen He should still be with him. I think it's best not to disturb them right now, so I'll just come up and write in my diary.

Mr. Han has probably encountered something bad today.

Actually, if he's willing to talk to me, I'd really like to talk to him. I'm not only a legal counselor, but I also occasionally work as a psychological counselor, since my clients' consultations aren't limited to legal matters!

...Let's wait until he's willing to talk about it later before trying to comfort him.

…………

"Sigh..." Yan Fei sighed. For some reason, she felt a little unhappy as she wrote this.

However, if the person involved doesn't seek her help, it's best to leave it to them to resolve themselves.

Yan Fei thought about it and shook her head.

At that moment, a rhythmic creaking sound suddenly came from the guest room across the corridor.

It's started again... Yan Fei's pen trembled and almost fell.

She slammed the diary shut, thought for a moment, then opened it again and added two lines—

I'll reluctantly forgive them today, but tomorrow I will definitely issue a stern warning in the name of the landlord!

This is not a hotel!

Please take leave tomorrow

I have some family matters to attend to on the 22nd, so I'll be taking a day off. I'll resume updates on the 23rd.

Chapter Seventy-One: The One Who Broke His Wish, Taking His Pole and Gone [5k]

After once again entering a "wise man's state," Han Fulai began to ponder a philosophical question—is life predetermined?

Before transmigrating, he signed a contract to work hard, meaning he had to work overtime almost every day; after transmigrating, he signed a contract with divine power, but he still had to work overtime every day.

Before he time-traveled, he was deceived by women; after he time-traveled, he was still deceived by women.

Is everything predetermined? Is my life actually a cycle?

If my life was just as miserable before and after time travel, then I wasted my time traveling!

He had these thoughts, of course, because of that "date" with Ningguang.

A "date" that appears tender and affectionate on the surface, but is actually full of deceit and treachery underneath.

He remained clear-headed, acutely aware that from the moment Ningguang uttered, "You have successfully taken the first step into the realm of thought of the Seven Kingdoms of the Mortal World," her ambitions extended far beyond simply becoming a "Tianquan Star"; he was acutely aware that the phrase, "One day, I want its shadow to shroud the Seven Kingdoms," was Ningguang's true ambition; he was acutely aware that after he thwarted Ningguang's plot to monopolize the Qingxupu Ruins, their conflict was inevitable...

Although his reason kept trying to warn him that Ningguang's previous kindness to him was an "investment," a "calculation," a scheme, and a lie... there was a very soft place empty in his heart, where there used to be a sister who took good care of him and whom he could trust.
