Genshin Impact: Learning makes me stronger

"Um... this, that..." Hu Tao's eyes were darting around, with a guilty look on his face.

Su Xun narrowed his eyes, looking suspicious.

"Ahem... we just posted advertisements on the doors of various offices in the General Affairs Department. It's not a big deal..." Hu Tao lowered her head and poked her fingers, her voice barely audible.

"Ah?" Although Hu Tao's voice was very low, Su Xun also heard it and he showed a strange expression.

"Hu Tao, although I can understand your desire to promote the business of Wangshengtang, you are too bold.

Are you so anxious because your sales are not good enough that you are losing your mind? You dare to post an advertisement on the territory of the General Affairs Department. Aren’t you afraid that the Wangsheng Hall will be closed down?"

"Hehe... I thought it was just a small matter. Who could have thought they were so persistent? Didn't Ningguang say anything when she posted it on the Qun Yu Pavilion last time..." Hu Tao curled her lips, looking a little indifferent.

Su Xun couldn't help but roll his eyes. How could these two things be mixed up? Although Ningguang is one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, she is also a businessman. Although your line of work is a bit sensitive, it is still a business after all. The General Affairs Department is an official administrative agency. The nature of the two is completely different.

Su Xun did not give too much advice. After all, although Hu Tao was stubborn, she knew what she was doing. This mistake was just a momentary negligence and she would naturally correct it in the future.

As for Wangshengtang, as the largest funeral service agency in Liyue, how could it be easily closed down? What I said just now was just a joke.

Even though Hu Tao had caused a lot of trouble before, hasn't Wangsheng Hall always been safe and sound?

The Hall of Rebirth has been passed down for seventy-seven generations. Although the people of Liyue are not willing to mention it, it is a major event in everyone's life and is indispensable.

Su Xun shook his head gently, with a teasing smile on his face, "Come to think of it, this is not the first time you have behaved unexpectedly. I am used to it."

Hu Tao chuckled, scratched his hair with his hand, and pretended to be stupid.

As a childhood playmate, Su Xun always criticized Hu Tao after she made some mistakes, and Hu Tao had long been accustomed to it.

"By the way, Su Xun, I have to go first." Hu Tao seemed to suddenly remember something and her tone became hurried.

"Zhongli is still wandering outside. I have to go and bring him back."

"As a guest official of the Wangsheng Hall, he actually does not do his job all day, drinking tea, walking his bird and listening to the book, leaving me, the hall master, to do everything myself!"

"I'm going to teach him a lesson this time! Let's go first!" Walnut said while his eyes wandering around, obviously trying to change the subject.

As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Tao ran away quickly. Before Su Xun could respond, he could only watch Hu Tao's back quickly disappear from his sight.

Raising his eyebrows, Su Xun smiled helplessly, okay, I'm used to it!

After Walnut left, the two continued to stroll around.

"You seem to have a good relationship." Shen He suddenly said from the side.

"Hmm?" Su Xun looked at the girl in surprise.

This was the first time he heard Shen He speak on his own initiative.

"Yes, after all, we are friends who have grown up together. I have a few more friends and I will introduce them to you if there is a chance in the future." Without thinking too much, he answered with a smile.

“…Okay.” Shen He nodded hesitantly.

In fact, what she wanted to ask was not this, but whether the two of them were going to have a further relationship, but she didn't say it in the end.

Shen He thought that the answer would be revealed over time. If it was the case, she might need to be more proactive. If not, that would be the best.

Liyue Harbor is huge in scale, which is very different from what is depicted in the game. It takes almost a whole day to fully tour the entire city.

Therefore, Su Xun did not plan to take Shen He to every corner of Liyue Harbor that night.

As the night deepened, Su Xun and Shen He ended their walk and returned to their residence, officially ending the day's journey.

There was no conversation that night, and the two of them rested.

The night deepens, the moon sets, and time flies.

The next day, the morning light was dim and the sky was light.

On the bed in the room, Su Xun sat upright like a bell, his knees folded together, his hands gently placed on his knees, his eyes closed, and he fell into meditation.

His breathing was even and deep, as if an invisible current of air was gently swirling around his body. He was like an accomplished hermit who pursued harmonious coexistence with nature in tranquility.

Time passed quietly, and when Su Xun's eyes suddenly opened, the whole room seemed to be cut through by a sharp light in an instant, like a sudden flash of lightning in the quiet space.

Electricity is generated in an empty room, it's nothing more than this!

Su Xun slowed down his breathing and exhaled lightly, ending a night of meditation.

Although sleep can relieve fatigue, he didn't want to waste this precious time, so he chose to practice instead.

Cultivation can not only improve one's cultivation, but also make one more energetic and vigorous than sleeping. How could he refuse such a benefit? It is precisely because of his hard work and practice day and night over the years that he has achieved his current cultivation.

Of course, this does not mean that Su Xun will completely give up sleep. The path of cultivation is about balance and harmony. When he feels tired or bored, he will naturally follow human nature and choose to rest.

What he pursues is to become a strong and warm human being, rather than a heartless, desireless and unattainable immortal.

……

The morning breeze was slightly cool. Su Xun pushed the door open and went out, planning to go to Wanmin Hall to buy some breakfast to enjoy with Shen He.

His identity as a cultivator did not keep him away from worldly affairs. Instead, it made him cherish those delicious foods that could stimulate his taste buds even more.

In his heart, the greatest happiness in the world is delicious food and beautiful women. This is his consistent philosophy of life.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked into the yard, I saw Shen He sitting beside the stone table in the yard, exuding a cold and lonely temperament, and meditating quietly with his eyes closed.

The stillness of the crane complements the tranquility of the early morning, forming a harmonious picture.

Hearing the footsteps, Shen He slowly opened his eyes and turned to look at Su Xun. His eyes were clear and deep, with the freshness of morning dew and a hint of imperceptible warmth.

On this quiet morning, the two people's eyes met in the air, as if they were exchanging greetings with each other without words.

After a pause, Su Xun sighed inwardly, then walked over and sat down next to Shen He.

"Why did you get up so early? Are you still not used to the new environment?" He spoke in a gentle tone, his eyes showing concern.

"I'm a little uncomfortable, but I'm more used to it. In the mountains, I often practice at this time." Shen He shook her head gently, her voice calm and indifferent.

Su Xun nodded slightly and said nothing more.

The two of them sat there quietly, watching the eastern sky gradually glow with golden light. In the peaceful and harmonious atmosphere, there seemed to be an unspoken understanding.
