Genshin Impact: The Liyuemen of Tivat

Chapter 7 Xingqiu and Shi Lan's First Encounter

---(three years ago)---

One afternoon at the Liyue Wharf, Xingqiu and his brother were inspecting the goods ready to be shipped and exported. The brother concentrated on checking each container, and the quantity and type had to be checked clearly.

The little Xingqiu watched eagerly, his heart had already flown to the other side of the mountain, envious of the children who were playing around.

He squeezed the comic book in his pocket tightly, and found that his brother was getting farther and farther away from him after checking the boxes one by one. Xiao Xingqiu seemed to have found an opportunity to take advantage of it. After looking around, he found that no one was paying attention to this side.

"Well, this kind of work is still too early for me as a child."

Xiao Xingqiu sneaked away.

He ran to the corner of the wall, found a stone and sat down, took out the little book that he carried with him, and couldn't wait to read it.

Compared with the complicated work of the Chamber of Commerce, Xiao Xingqiu yearns for the world of knights with swords, swords and shadows in books.

It only takes a while for Xiao Xingqiu to be addicted to it, unable to extricate himself.

I don't know how long it has passed, Xiao Xingqiu felt that the light in front of him was covered, and when he looked up, he saw three children who were not much older than him standing in front of him.

Frowning slightly, Xiao Xingqiu said, "You guys are blocking me from reading."

"Huh?" The three children seemed to be hostile.

The leading child was a little taller, and he reached out and snatched the book from Xing Qiu's hand.

The unsuspecting Xingqiu was instantly robbed of the book.

"Yeah, isn't this the young master of the Flying Chamber of Commerce, what is it called Xingqiu?"

"give me back!"

Xiao Xingqiu stood up to grab his own book.

The three children hurried away, surrounded Xingqiu in a triangle shape, and passed the book back and forth.

"Hahahaha, I'll return it to you when I get it!"

"That's right! Who can you blame if you can't grab it yourself~"

"You guys! It's really hateful!" Xiao Xingqiu chased back and forth the books that were thrown around, his head was burnt out, and he was so anxious that he was about to cry.

The book was thrown back and forth in the air, Xiao Xingqiu chased back and forth with his arms raised, and the child who received the book immediately threw it back, and Xiao Xingqiu turned back to chase it.

One of the children received the book, looked at the exhausted and out of breath Xing Qiu, laughed and said, "Let me see what a great book the second young master of the expert is reading - oh, oh, so it's a legend of chivalry! I thought it was an account book or the right way to make money, but I didn’t expect to see this kind of thing. Tch, it’s really embarrassing!”

"Really? Let me see?"

"Hahahaha, it turns out that the young master of the Great Chamber of Commerce also reads this kind of book. It's too bad. We don't read this kind of book! Shame!"

"Give it back to me quickly!" Xing Qiu panted while holding his knees, the pampered little Xing Qiu didn't have the strength to be played around by three children.

"Hey! You are the second young master of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, you must be very rich." The leading child held the book and fanned the little book that Xiao Xingqiu regarded as a treasure like a fan.

"You guys, what do you want to do?"

"Well, you give us... 50... no, give us 100 moras, and I'll return the book to you! How about it?"

Another little boy looked worried: "Hey, Feng Jun, will it be too much..."

"100 Mora...he should be able to afford it...he is the young master of the Great Chamber of Commerce..."

"you……"

Xiao Xingqiu clenched his little hands tightly, pursed his mouth in grievance, but his family's upbringing made him not cry, his eyes were red, and he wanted to call his brother for help.

Feng Jun said fiercely: "How is it? If you don't give me any more, I will tear up this book..."

"No!" Xiao Xingqiu blurted out, he asked A Xu to bring that book back with great difficulty. He hid it for a long time, and he hasn't read a few pages yet. It must not be torn.

"Then you pay for it! How about we sell it to you? 100 Mora can buy a super-super-beautiful "Legend of Heroes", but it's very worth it."

"Okay... I'll just pay..."

Xiao Xingqiu blushed, feeling the endless humiliation, but he had to bow his head.

Stretching out his hand to feel in his pocket, Xiao Xingqiu took out 100 Mora and reluctantly handed it over.

"Here's the money, return the book to me..."

Feng Jun took the money, and the three of them huddled together and whispered some words, then turned around and said:
"Now it has increased in price! It costs 200 moras!"

Xiao Xingqiu was stunned, "What? You're just sitting on the ground and raising the price!"

Feng Jun said arrogantly: "I don't care, you have to give us another 100 moras, or I will tear up the book!"

"That's right! If you can afford 100 moras, then you must still have money. I just heard the sound of money in your pocket!"

Xiao Xingqiu clenched the remaining Mora in his pocket, his face was full of anger.

The 200 moras are what he used to buy grilled and eaten tiger fish today. If they are really snatched by a few bad boys, his happiness will be gone...

Even though he is the second young master of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, he is just a child after all. How could he have too much money? The 200 Mora was given by his brother to let him come to the pier together. The child snatched it.

However, if you don't give the money book, you won't come back, and if you give the money, there is no guarantee that they will ask for more...

what do I do?what do I do?
Brother, come and save me...

"Hey, hey, you guys, return the book to someone else!"

Suddenly, a childish voice came from behind the three children.

The three children were also taken aback, thinking that an adult was coming, but when they looked back, they saw a little boy who was a little shorter than themselves standing there, wearing a brown long gown, with a cloth bag bulging inside pretending not to know what it is.

They both let out a sigh of relief.

As long as it's not an adult, it's fine. As for this kid, just scare him away, don't delay us from making money.

Feng Jun showed a fierce look on his face and threatened: "Go away! Don't meddle in your own business! Otherwise we will beat you!"

To their disappointment, the little boy in front of them was not afraid at all, but walked over slowly impatiently.

"Where did you get so much nonsense! Bring it here!" The little boy approached Fengjun, and snatched Xingqiu's book with his hands.

Then he grabbed Feng Jun's arm and threw it aside casually. Feng Jun, who was taller, was thrown far away, staggered and fell to the ground with a confused look on his face.

"How did I fly so far?"

The other two little boys stood there in shock, looking at him in shock.

"Here, your book."

Xiao Xingqiu looked at the little boy in front of him, similarly, he was also frightened by the child in front of him.

Seeing the other party smiling kindly, and confirming that the other party really returned the book to him, Xiao Xingqiu quickly took the book and carefully checked whether it was damaged.

"Thank you." (This person seems to be helping me, but why is his eyes so disappointed?)

Feng Jun, who fell in the distance, was so dazed that he didn't react.

After a long time, he blushed and felt insulted. He was thrown so far by a kid who was not as tall as him?

Angrily shouted: "You guys, go and beat him! Take the book back!"

The other two children looked at each other in blank dismay, neither of them dared to step forward.

"Hit him... Hey, he's Shi Lan..."

"Who is Shi Lan? I told you to hit him and hit him!"

"You don't even know Shi Lan! He's a bully who lives on Chihuyan Street...he's so strong!"

"Exactly! A few days ago someone saw him carrying a whole wild boar into the city by himself... I heard that he brought down the wild boar by himself..."

"What wild boar! He can defeat a wild boar in his teens? I don't believe it!"

Feng Jun got up from the ground with a wheel, obviously he hadn't been beaten by reality, and rushed towards Shi Lan with his small fists raised.

"You are not big, but you have a big temper!"

Shi Lan breathed out her nostrils, her small figure was majestic and fearless, she stepped forward and grabbed Feng Jun by the neckline, and lifted Feng Jun up on the spot.

Then with a wave of his hand, Feng Jun was thrown out like a torn clothes.

Feng Jun fell in the distance, and sat up in shock again in a dying state. He looked at his hands, and then at Shi Lan Xingqiu in the distance. The arrogant look just now.

"What a lot of strength!" Xiao Xingqiu was dumbfounded.

Feng Jun's two friends ran away like frightened birds, fearing that it would be their turn next.

"very scary!"

"Let's run! Shi Lan will throw us into the sea to feed the fish!"

"Wait for me! You two!"

Seeing that his little friend had also run away, Feng Jun wiped away his tears, got up and was about to run.

Shi Lan caught up with him, patted his shoulder, stretched out her hand, without saying a word.

That look said it all.

Feng Jun shivered, quickly took out the 100 moras he had just extorted from Xiao Xingqiu from his pocket, and carefully placed it in Shi Lan's palm.

Facing this guy who could throw himself out with one hand, he couldn't get angry at all.

"It's not too bad, go home." Shi Lan let go of Feng Jun, then thought of something, and threatened: "Don't think about going home and suing, I know where you live, and I know your brother Feng Yan, As long as I tell your brother what happened today, he will definitely swell your hand."

"Oh...don't tell my brother! I'm sorry Xingqiu, I'm sorry Shi Lan! I don't dare anymore!!"

Feng Jun ran away crying.

How can there be such a terrible child!I want to go back to Qingcezhuang, Liyue is too scary woohoo...

"Tsk, children are so scary." Shi Lan put her hips on her hips, pretending to say, then silently put the Mo La that was going back into her bag, and hacked Xing Qiu's money.

It shouldn't be too much to charge some rewards for being brave...

Holding the book in his hands, Xiao Xingqiu watched Shi Lan calmly blackmailing his money, keeping his mouth tightly shut and daring not to speak.

Only now did Shi Lan have time to look at him carefully. He had short blue hair with bangs, but his temple hair was asymmetrical.With golden pupils, the handsome and lovely face showed a slightly nervous expression.

He couldn't help muttering softly: "I thought it was a girl..."

I thought it was a scene where a hero saves the beauty, but I didn't expect to save a boy... But Xingqiu looks real...very tactful...

"Second young master of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, don't you bring bodyguards when you go out? If I were a thief, I'd snatch it too." Shi Lan curled her lips.

Xiao Xingqiu was very wronged: "Those with bodyguards... I... I just want to be alone for a while..."

"Is that book really so precious?" Shi Lan looked over curiously, wondering what kind of book Xing Qiu really valued.

"It's very important to me." Xiao Xingqiu hugged the book tightly, fearing that Shi Lan would be ridiculed if he saw the title of the book.

"I see!" Shi Lan was very blind to see, and proudly said: "It's useless to cover it tightly!"

Xiao Xingqiu pursed his lips, showed the book, and smashed the jar: ""The Legend of Heroes" is really good! Why are you all laughing!"

Shi Lan scratched her head: "Laughing? I'm not laughing, I just said I saw it."

Then he said solemnly: "I have also watched "The Legend of Heroes."

Get it right!

Xiao Xingqiu's eyes lit up, as if he had found a bosom friend, he said urgently: "How is it? Isn't the pillow jade in the book very handsome? With a sword to the end of the world, justice is awe-inspiring!"

"Uh... so-so." Shi Lan spread her hands.

"Why?" Xiao Xingqiu was very dissatisfied, that was his idol, how come he was "average?".

Shi Lanrui commented: "The start was good, but the end is too much. Zhenyu is just a swordsman and doesn't even have a God's Eye. To be able to fight against three opponents with God's Eye alone is not realistic."

Xiao Xingqiu said stubbornly: "The owner of the God's Eye can actually be defeated by ordinary people..."

"How is it possible! A person with the eyes of a god must be very strong, and can be compared to a fairy god. How can a mortal defeat a fairy god?"

"I don't believe it. If I were a swordsman, I would definitely be able to!"

"Really? Are you a swordsman then?"

Xiao Xingqiu was dumb, not daring to look at Shi Lan, his voice was as soft as a mosquito: "No...my family doesn't let me learn martial arts...they just want me to learn how to do business and read books."

"Besides, there's no place to learn even if you want to learn martial arts... Not long ago, the last martial arts gym in Liyue was also closed."

Xiao Xingqiu was very disappointed.

In Liyue, a place where there are many descendants of immortals and God's Eyes, the traditional martial arts can no longer go on. Compared with practicing martial arts with hard work, many people prefer to let their children go into business and earn more Mora talents. It is the last word.

If you really want to learn martial arts and become stronger, you can only join the Qianyan Army, but the Qianyan Army also has a special training method, which pays attention to teamwork and obedience. No matter how you look at it, it is not a place where heroes can be trained...

The traditional martial arts hall is closed, the Qianyan Army is too harsh, and Xiao Xingqiu's martial arts dream can only be in his dream.

Shi Lan squeezed her chin and thought about it carefully, then thumped her palms, and said with a smile: "No, there is another one! Liyue also has a traditional martial arts holy place, it depends on whether you have the courage to learn it."

Xiao Xingqiu's eyes suddenly brightened: "There is another family? Where is it?"

Shi Lan laughed and said:

"That's the Guhua faction!"

"Ancient Hua School..."

Xiao Xingqiu hugged the book in his arms tightly, his heart beating faster and faster.

"Guhua faction!"
