"Yeah." Su Xun nodded.

He has a relationship with the two thunder gods of Inazuma, and they are the ones served by Tenryo Bugyo, so he should also be considered to have acquaintances in Tenryo Bugyo, right?

The old man looked at Su Xun for a few times, and seeing that he looked extraordinary and did not seem to be lying, his worries were slightly alleviated.

"In that case, thank you very much...thank you very much, young master." The old man bowed and said gratefully.

At the same time, he muttered to himself, judging from the way this young man was dressed, he seemed to be from Liyue, so he should be called Gongzi...

"You are too polite, old man. It's just a small favor."

Next, Su Xun did not leave, but continued chatting with the old man.

Through the conversation, he learned that the old man was called Nakano and was the owner of the tea stall.

This tea stall has been open for many years, and business used to be pretty good, but in recent times, due to the lockdown, business has become increasingly difficult.

After listening to the old man's words, Su Xun couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Although the isolation order was issued by the puppet General Raiden, this policy was jointly implemented by Tenryo Bugyo and Kanjo Bugyo for their own interests.

It not only brought many negative impacts to Inazuma, putting Inazuma's economy into trouble, but also made people's lives more difficult. The old man Nakano is a living example.

Su Xun thought for a moment, then said, "Boss Zhongye, I have a way to improve your tea stall business."

When the old man Zhongye heard this, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, and he quickly asked, "Sir, what can I do?"

Su Xun smiled slightly, and then said: "You can hold some activities, such as reading books, singing operas, performing acrobatics, etc., so as to attract more customers."

The old man listened and said hesitantly: "This idea is good, but I don't have that much money to hire someone to perform."

Su Xun laughed, and then said: "Boss Zhongye, you misunderstood me. I didn't ask you to invite someone to perform, but to perform by yourself."

Hearing this, the old man was a little surprised and said: "Ah? But, I...I can't perform."

Su Xun smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's easy. Take storytelling as an example. You can tell the guests the stories or novels you know. You don't need to have high skills, as long as you can attract the audience. Of course, you can also perform some simple acrobatics, as long as you can make the guests happy."

After hearing what Su Xun said, old man Zhongye couldn't help but feel moved.

He felt that what Su Xun said made sense. Now that Inazuma's taxes had risen and prices were also rising, people were starting to live frugally. His tea stall only had so few customers every day. If he didn't find a way to attract business, he was afraid he would really not be able to survive.

So, he said to Su Xun gratefully: "Sir, thank you for your advice. I will consider it."

Su Xun nodded, chatted with the old man for a while, and then left.

Unexpectedly, before he had walked far, a girl's voice as sweet as a silver bell came from behind Su Xun, calling him.

"Wait! Hey, young man, please stay!"

Su Xun stopped and turned around, only to see a full-of-energy girl wrapped in bandages running towards him.

There is no doubt that this girl is Xiao Gong.

At this time, Xiao Gong's face was filled with a bright smile. She ran to Su Xun and asked curiously: "Excuse me, little brother, are you a foreigner?"

"Yes, I'm from Liyue." Su Xun nodded with a smile.

"Oh, so you are from Liyue. Hello, my name is Xiao Gong, and I am the owner of the Naganohara Fireworks Shop. What's your name, brother?"

"My name is Su Xun."

"Su Xun... Yeah! I've got that. Brother Su Xun, I just saw you teaching those Tianling Fengxing's comrades a lesson over there. You're amazing! You saw injustice and helped them. You're just like a hero!"

Su Xun smiled modestly: "Nothing, I just can't stand their behavior of bullying the people. Miss Xiaogong, you praise me like this, I feel a little embarrassed."

Xiao Gong waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "What's there to be embarrassed about? You did a good thing and should be praised. By the way, Brother Su Xun, is there anything important that brought you to Inazuma?"

"The main reason I came to Inazuma this time is to meet a friend and help her resolve her worries." Su Xun shrugged.

Xiao Gong blinked, seeming to be very interested in Su Xun's words, "Untie the knot? It sounds like there is a story. Brother Su Xun, is your friend a Daozumi?"

Su Xun nodded, but didn't say much.

Xiao Gong did not ask any further questions. She was a smart person and knew what to ask and what not to ask. When chatting with people, she could always find the perfect balance between listening and expressing, not being redundant, not crossing the line, not being cold, and not being overly entangled.

"Then, little brother Su Xun, if you need help in Dao next time, just tell me. I am very familiar with Inazuma." Xiao Gong said enthusiastically.

Su Xun smiled and said, "Miss Xiao Gong is really warm-hearted. She is so caring towards a stranger like me."

"Because I like to help others, and I am also very happy to meet such a kind person like Brother Su Xun!" Xiao Gong said with a smile.

Su Xun looked at Xiao Gong's energetic smile and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Among all the people he knew, Xiao Gong might not be the most beautiful, but she was the one who could bring the most favorable impression to people.

She is always full of enthusiasm, optimism and cheerfulness. No matter what difficulties she encounters, she can keep smiling. When you are with her, it seems that all the troubles will disappear.

After chatting for a while, Su Xun and Xiao Gong officially became friends.

During the conversation, Xiao Gong mentioned two friends she had just met not long ago, and said that Su Xun was very similar to them, both of whom had a kind-hearted character and liked to stand up for the weak.

After listening to Xiao Gong's description, Su Xun was moved and asked, "Xiao Gong, are the two friends you mentioned two girls, one big and one small, and one of them can fly?"

"Huh?" Xiao Gong was stunned for a moment, then asked curiously, "Brother Su Xun, do you know them?"

"Well, if I'm not mistaken, they should be Ying and Paimon, right?" Su Xun nodded with a smile.

"Wow, Brother Su Xun, you really know them!" Xiao Gong said happily, "I met Ying and Paimeng in the wild not long ago. They were rescuing a villager who was besieged by monsters. When I saw them, I immediately went to help them. After that, we became friends."

"I see." Su Xun nodded.

He thought secretly in his heart, remembering that in the plot, Ying and Paimon came to Naganohara Fireworks Shop and met Xiao Gong in order to rescue Master Masakatsu who was captured by Tenryo Bugyo for forging the Eye of God.

Now it seems that after listening to his warning, Ying did not rashly choose to help Shefeng resist the Eye Hunting Order and fight against General Lei Dian, so she did not get to know Xiao Gong as in the plot, but did they still meet in another way?
