Chapter 101 - 100: Fatui Always Collect Their Debts

Recently, the art world of Liyue has been in turmoil, and the source of this wave is actually just an inconspicuous piece of manuscript paper. It is said that the source of this manuscript paper is in Wangshu Inn, but it is impossible to find out who wrote it. However, the artistic attainments of this painting have long surpassed the understanding of today's Liyue artists, reaching the legendary realm of "like words and like paintings, both at the same time." You say it looks like words. Its continuous brushstrokes are like the grass in Dihua Marsh, where the grass and water are connected, which is beautiful beyond words. You could say it looks like a painting, but within the lines you can faintly discern some simple words, and the wild brushwork reveals a touch of casualness. And this piece of manuscript paper has a very beautiful name. Sketch of Reed Flowers. The original painting is now collected by Wanwen Bookhouse, and only a few copies are left in the outside world and collected by some top artists. As the second son of the Guild Manager of Feiyun Commerce Guild in Liyue Harbour, he used all the connections he could to get a copy of the replica. Unlike others, this unique work of art in the eyes of others has a different meaning to him. Because he can understand this book. This manuscript titled "Sketch of Reed Flowers" is clearly a martial arts novel called "The Legend of the Sword"! At first, he read the book with a critical attitude, because the person who wrote this book not only had writing skills...but also had remarkable handwriting! But the handwriting is better. Other aspects are a mess, even worse than him. But as he read deeper, he was deeply attracted by the plot and even read it several times in one breath. Because this book's interpretation of the word "hero" surpasses all other books in Liyue today. Even if the author's writing skills are a little immature, they cannot resist the chivalrous spirit that comes to mind. This is what a man should do. The greatest heroes serve their country and their people. Every sentence and every word made his blood boil and he couldn't sleep for a long time. He wished he could pick up his sword right now and serve his country. But after reaching the door, he came back. Report a bullshit! The gods are in power, what can a rich young man do? This is the continent of Teyvat, this is Liyue. It is a good place to live and work. But this did not affect his admiration for the book and its author at all, and he even spent a fortune to find the author of the book. However, the money that always worked lost its effect at this time. Even though the reward was raised again and again, no one could find the author except some people who were seeking fame. These so-called authors, apart from talking about the paintings, could not even say the real name of the work. In the end, they had to be beaten up by his subordinates and sent to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Because of this, he was upset for a long time. Finally, at the suggestion of his eldest brother, he decided to go out for a walk and relax. As he was walking around, he arrived at Wanmin Hall. After seeing the sign of Wanmin Hall, Xingqiu's face changed and he was about to turn around and leave. It's not that they have a bad relationship. They grew up together and have a pretty good relationship. It's just that Xiangling always likes to ask him to try new dishes. It was fine at first, until he ate the Qingxin mixed mint made by the other party, and he couldn't leave the toilet for three days. Later, when Xiangling came to him again, he would push his best friend Chongyun to replace himself. But Chongyun is not here today, so it's better not to go in and invite trouble. "ah--" Xiangling's screams and the sound of dishes falling to the ground caught Xingqiu's attention. What is a hero? The word chivalry has different meanings for different people. Those who are free and righteous are heroes, those who can clearly distinguish between good and evil are heroes, and those who are upright are also heroes... But in Xingqiu's view, the meaning of chivalry is simply to do good deeds and be a good person. Something has obviously happened in Wanmin Restaurant. If he doesn't go to rescue them, it would go against his chivalrous spirit. So he turned around without hesitation and entered the Wanmin Restaurant. Inside Wanmin Hall, Guoba hid behind Xiangling, while Xiangling, the young cook, was trying to persuade the two groups not to fight. One party's attire clearly indicated they were the Snezhnaya's Fatui. While the Fatui were currently very well-behaved within Liyue, their subtle actions were a real nuisance. As the second young master of Feiyun Commerce Guild, he knew better than anyone else the dirty things these Fatui did in secret, so in his mind, Fatui were only less annoying than carrots. The other party was a foreigner, who, judging by his attire, must be from Inazuma. It is said that Inazuma is currently in a state of isolation and no one should come out. The only Inazuma person he met recently was the young man under Captain Beidou's command. I don't know what the relationship is between this Inazuma person and the young man he knows. "Gentlemen, using your numbers to bully the few is probably an unfair victory, isn't it?" Walking up to Xiangling and giving her a reassuring look, Xingqiu stood up slightly excitedly, straightened his back and spoke loudly. He had wanted to try out such a cool word for a long time. "Who are you? Girl, stay out of our Fatui's business! If you're worried about damaging something, we Fatui will compensate you!" The leader spoke very arrogantly, even pulling out a bag of Mora and slamming it in front of Xingqiu. "I am Xingqiu, merely a bookworm of the ocean of books." Xingqiu didn't even glance at the bag of Mora. Perhaps Xingqiu's wealth was not as great as that of the Northland Bank, but a mere bag of Mora was not enough to buy him off. He was even vaguely annoyed by the other party's tone and the so-called "girly" comment. "I don't care what ocean or worm you are, hurry up and leave now! Don't force us to resort to violence!" The Fatui were becoming increasingly agitated, with subtly showing signs of wanting to act. A one-handed sword gradually emerged from Xingqiu's back, and his expression grew serious. "Miss Bookworm, I thank you for your drawing your blade to assist, but it is best that I resolve my own matters myself." "..." Looking at this Inazuman man wearing a cat-face mask, Xingqiu actually wanted to explain that Bookworm was not his real name. Also, he is a man. As he spoke, the Inazuma man had already drawn his weapon. It was a strange reverse-edged sword. The shiny blade made people feel a chill in their hearts. Even Xingqiu, who had seen many divine weapons and sharp tools, couldn't help but inwardly praise it as a good sword. "Line up! Capture this bastard who's using the Master Childe's name to scam free food and drinks!" The Fatui were not scared off by the sharp blades in the other party's hands. Instead, they shouted these words in a voice filled with grief, resentment and grievance. This sentence also made Xingqiu stunned for a moment. What did they mean to use the name of Childe's to get free food and drinks? He looked at Xiangling again, and the other person's face also had an expression that was hard to describe. "Just now, the people of the Fatui and this Inazuma were having dinner here. The Inazuma man said that the meal should be charged to Childe's tab, and then those Fatui flipped the table over. It seemed that the Inazuma man had visited all of Inazuma, racking up quite a bit of Mora in debt, all of which were charged to that Childe's account." "..." After several seconds of dazed silence, Xingqiu realized something. He seemed to have helped the wrong person. ______________________________________ Hello my dear readers, I noticed that I am not getting power stones.
