Looking at the enemy kneeling on the ground, Su Han asked doubtfully, "By the way, are you really an elite of the Fools? Your skills are terrible. Who attacks someone and then talks? If you hadn't opened your mouth, I wouldn't have known you were behind me."

The members of the Fools who were watching looked at each other, their expressions somewhat awkward.

One second ago, everyone thought the boss was about to succeed and started bragging wildly.

As a result, Clement insisted on showing off, and now look what happened—he got beaten up. How embarrassing!

Clement, lying on the ground, angrily retorted, "You...you're not human!"

"Yes, I'm naturally strong! It's normal for me to be fast."

"You fucking get him! All of you get him at once!"

Seeing that their leader had spoken, everyone naturally dared not continue watching the show. They exchanged glances and rushed towards Su Han in unison.

Clement, kneeling on the ground, wore a smug expression, but it quickly turned into horror, and finally into despair.

The moment the two sides met, Su Han suddenly had a blazing longsword in his hand. With just a few light swings, terrifying flames turned his companions into charred remains.

Looking at the charred corpses scattered on the ground, Clement pointed at Su Han, trembling as he stammered, "You...you..."

"Yes, you were right about something earlier. I'm not human, I'm a Qilin. But it's a pity your master is coming. I was hoping to tease you a bit. Remember to tell those executioners when you get to hell that I really hate certain people. Since you like to cause me trouble, be prepared for retaliation."

The moment the voice fell, the Fire Kirin Sword pierced through the head of the debt collector, and even in death, the regret in his eyes never faded.

After the battle ended, Su Han didn't linger. His body transformed into clouds and mist, and he quickly ran towards the Wangshu Inn in the distance. Then he turned onto the official road and returned to Liyue Harbor.

Ten minutes later, D'Artagnan arrived at the scene. Looking at the charred remains and Clement, who was still dead and refused to rest in peace, his face turned extremely grim.

"As expected, I knew it would be like this."

To be honest, the new book's sales figures are a bit poor. The pressure is still immense, sob sob.

Chapter 20 Su Han: As long as Mora is here, let alone immortals, even emperors...

I dare to comment!

"Young master, which shop owner made this?"

The wounds on his comrades on the ground were horrific; they had all clearly been killed with a single blow. Although Clement was somewhat useless, these people combined should not have been easy to kill.

Upon hearing this, D'Artagnan shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, but at least his identity isn't that simple. Let's go back first, and tell our men to report any future actions first."

Otherwise, it might affect the Queen's plans.

You couldn't pay for this with all your lives.

As he spoke, D'Artagnan's tone turned icy, because no one likes subordinates who act on their own.

"Yes, my lord."

Upon returning to Liyue, Su Han was informed by the waiter that Zhong Li had been waiting upstairs for some time.

"Huh? When did he arrive?"

"It's only been a short time since you left, sir."

"."

Su Han was taken aback upon hearing this, and a bad feeling immediately arose in his heart. Could it be that this old man had been following him the whole way?

Speaking of this Lord Yan, he was actually good in every way, except for two bad habits.

First, I want to retire.

Secondly, he enjoys following and watching shows.

Su Han went upstairs, where Zhong Li was enjoying tea from Qiaoying Manor. Seeing his return, the old man smiled and said, "Brother Su, you're finally back! I thought I wouldn't be able to see you today. However, next time you go out of the city, you should be careful. After all, Brother Su is quite wealthy now, and you might attract the attention of those with ulterior motives..."

Su Han was speechless. The old man had indeed seen everything!

Su Han was too lazy to expose him and said, "Hey, it's okay. I have superhuman strength. I don't care about petty thieves. If a master really kidnaps me, don't I still have the Liyue Clan? I have a very good relationship with Gan Yu, the secretary of the Liyue Seven Stars."

"Hmm, I see. That puts my mind at ease!" Zhongli nodded, then changed the subject: "However, I've heard that the Liyue Immortals have been far removed from the mortal realm for hundreds of years. What are your thoughts on this?"

"Cough, I'm just a mortal, how dare I presume to discuss matters concerning immortals? Drinking tea and selling comics to earn some Mora every day is enough for me."

Su Han smiled but did not answer. This old man had a lot on his mind, and talking too much would easily cause trouble. He didn't want to be Li Yue's nanny.

Last time, a few drunken words caused Hu Tao to leave the country. If my interference causes Zhong Li to retire early, that would be a huge sin!

Seeing that Su Han refused to speak, Zhong Li wasn't angry. He just smiled and said, "It was just a casual chat. If Brother Su satisfies me, I'll give you a big gift today."

"What kind of gift?"

Upon hearing that there was a reward, Su Han instantly perked up, completely shedding his previous lazy demeanor.

Zhongli then took out a contract and placed it on the table, saying, "A contract for the Yujingtai shop! Your business has been booming these past few days, but due to the size of the shop, many customers are already complaining. If you open a branch now, you will surely earn even more."

Su Han picked it up and was shocked. The land deed was actually real. Was the old man so desperate to retire that he had gone mad?

Su Han tentatively asked, "Are you serious? This is a 500-square-meter shop! You can't negotiate a price less than a billion Mora."

"Then let's see if Brother Su's answer satisfies me."

Zhong Li looked at him with a half-smile, making Su Han feel a little guilty, but Su Han really wanted this shop.

Actually, Mora is a minor issue. The key problem is that in Liyue Harbor, where every inch of land is precious, no one is willing to sell their shops. And the place Zhongli gave us is even more extraordinary!

The shop is located near Yujingtai, which is a fantastic location. More importantly, it's close to Liyue's offices, so there's no need to worry about safety.

"Ahem. Since you're so generous, Zhongli, I'll just share my understanding. Let's make it clear first, this is just my personal opinion, so please forgive me if I'm wrong."

"clear."

Zhong Li stopped smiling and sat up straight.

But where should he begin? After much deliberation, Su Han finally decided that he should start with the current situation in Liyue.

Su Han took a sip of tea and began her performance.

"Actually, there's really no difference between immortals and mortals, right? I've read some of Liyue's history before, including the Battle of the Rock Abyss five hundred years ago, which resulted in the city being covered in white banners and every household holding a funeral."

How many mortals and how many immortals died in this battle?

Everyone was working hard to protect Liyue, but back then no one distinguished between mortals and immortals!

Su Han's words hit the nail on the head, causing Zhong Li to nod repeatedly.

He smiled and praised, "Brother Su is right. Indeed, when Liyue is in danger, it is the time for everyone to unite as one!"

For Zhongli, everything that happened five hundred years ago was as clear as yesterday for humankind, but back then, there was no difference between humans and immortals.

Seeing Zhongli's smiling face, Su Han knew he was right. He continued, "Hey, I'm just bored. But speaking of which, Liyue is facing some serious problems these days."

Zhongli was taken aback by these words and asked, "What do you mean by that...?"

"The immortals have retreated to the mountains and forests, and without their guides in the mortal realm, their strength has declined drastically. I was only out for a short time today when I was spotted by those guys from the Winter Solstice Kingdom. Luckily, I have innate divine strength, otherwise, Zhongli, you wouldn't be able to see me."

Su Han didn't hide anything and spoke his mind, of course, he didn't forget the excuse of being born with superhuman strength.

"Decline? What makes you say that?"

"Hasn't it fallen into decline yet?" Su Han chuckled, looking out the window. "Now Mondstadt is plagued by dragons, Liyue has a large number of Fatui infiltrating, and there are even countless treasure-hunting groups causing trouble. Can you guess why?"

Zhongli gently shook her head, waiting for his answer.

Su Han then said something surprising: "The main reason is that there are too few experts in the mortal realm! And ultimately, it's because Liyue Harbor doesn't have a powerful organization like the Fatui Clan, just like Winterhold, which is why we have this problem."

"And if I may be so bold as to say something else."

"The immortals live in seclusion in the mountains, not caring about the safety of Liyue, yet the Rock King Emperor has to come every year to oversee things. This is simply outrageous!"

"Even mortals have time to rest and take a break, but in the past thousands of years, when has Lord Yan ever rested?"

These immortals are so carefree! They stay hidden in the mountains, coming out whenever they want and going into seclusion whenever they don't. They're so spoiled!

Seeing Su Han's indignant expression, Zhong Li felt incredibly satisfied. Just based on what Su Han had said, the contract was definitely worth it!

At least Su Han's words struck a chord with Zhong Li. His wear and tear was only one aspect; what truly concerned this old man was the divide between the immortals and humans.

This is the real focus of Zhongli's trip.

"Then, according to Brother Su, what should Liyue do? How can it mediate the relationship between immortals and humans?"

Su Han smiled slightly. Very good, here comes the key point: whether or not they can obtain the land deed depends on this round.

Su Han paused for a moment and said, "It's actually very simple. To strengthen the relationship between humans and immortals, the most important thing is to have a lubricant, and this person must have a good relationship with the immortal or someone close to the immortal."

Secondly, he needs to make significant contributions to Liyue, so that over time the immortals will gradually become less arrogant.

Similarly, we cannot only focus on the immortals; we must also spread their deeds in the mortal realm of Liyue. We may not pursue immortality, but we must always remember the sacrifices they made.

I believe that only when the people of Liyue stand up for themselves can they gain the approval of the immortals and allow the Emperor, who has toiled for thousands of years, to finally rest.”

Waaaaah, I haven't added this to my favorites. My little pearls are falling like crazy!

Chapter 21 Su Han: Wait, why did I become the chosen one?

(New book, please add to your favorites)

These words came from the bottom of Su Han's heart.

Although when they were on Earth, people always said that Zhongli was a Liyue Street loafer or a retired old man.

But if we put ourselves in their shoes, for thousands of years, Zhongli has diligently protected the land of Liyue every year.

Even if he didn't achieve great things, he certainly put in a lot of effort, right? Watching old friends leave one after another, and personally suppressing Ruoduo, does Zhongli really not feel any sadness?!

He's just tired and wants to rest, what's wrong with that?

"Indeed, Brother Su has excellent insight! You've pinpointed Liyue's problem so accurately. However, you just mentioned that there's a lack of a mediator between immortals and mortals. From a purely rational perspective, Liyue does indeed need such a person right now—one who can guide humanity and also communicate with immortals!"

After a moment of contemplation, Zhongli slowly turned her gaze to him.

“Brother Su, I recently heard from the immortals of Yujingtai that you have half the bloodline of the mythical beast Qilin. Why don’t you take on this role? I’ll be the introducer. I think the Seven Stars of Liyue shouldn’t mind.”

Su Han's expression froze instantly. Wait, what's going on?

He was so engrossed in his speech that he almost forgot something: the person he was describing was none other than Su Han himself!

He can contact immortals or those close to immortals, he is capable and creative, and most importantly, while Yingmei's identity as a traveler can leave at any time, he will stay in Liyue for a long time!
