Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army

The middle-aged man turned and walked away without saying a word, as if he was fleeing in panic.

The woman stood there, her hands on her waist, muttering to herself, "Fortunately, I heard that this guy wanted a concubine at his age, otherwise it would be a bit troublesome!"

Su Ping remained calm as he listened to the words that he could hear but the other party did not know he could hear.

"Boss Su, what do you think?" The woman looked at Su Ping, blinked and said, "I wasn't talking nonsense just now. My boss really wants to cooperate with you. You see, I just helped you get rid of that guy. Why don't you talk to my boss first?

If it succeeds, you'll make money, at least much better than what you just did with that guy. Even if it doesn't work out, we're all friends, so we can have more options when something goes wrong!"

Su Ping listened to the common words used in business dealings and couldn't help but feel a little familiar. He smiled and said, "Besides, we have known each other for such a long time. I have to thank you for your help just now.

This cooperation is an important matter. Since your boss asked me to set a date, how about the day after the Moon Festival? Is that okay?"

“Of course, since Boss Su has decided the time, we can choose the place. How about going to the Liyue Stone Record?” the woman asked.

Su Ping nodded and said, "Of course."

Liyue Shiji is a restaurant that mainly serves meat dishes. The dishes are delicious and reasonably priced. Although it may not have a great reputation, it is still a good place to eat.

Su Ping crossed his arms over his chest, and the two star conches hanging on his left wrist made a sound, looking like the badges of a member of an organization.

"By the way, what's your name, girl?"

"My name is Bai Shi, and my boss's name is Ning Guang. Can we discuss the details on the day we start working together?"

"That's it, the pastries are packed."

At this time, it was two days away from the Moon-Chasing Festival and only three days away from the day of discussing cooperation. That day was also Su Ping's birthday, although he had never celebrated it before.

After Bai Shi left, the originally clear sky was covered with dark clouds again. This changeable situation was exactly the same as the weather in June.

Su Ping raised his head slightly, glanced at the sky, and murmured, "It's going to rain again."

……

On the day of the Moon-Chasing Festival, it did not rain, but the clouds did not disperse, covering the dome of all living things, as if they would crash down at any time.

Outside the South Village, there is a long slope under a quiet forest. A father and son are there, slowly moving towards the forest.

The child carried his father on his back and walked steadily forward on the ground which had become slippery due to days of heavy rain, getting closer and closer step by step.

Apart from the father and son Su Yue and Su Ping, there may not be another pair in this village, or even in the whole of Liyue, who would come out during the Moon-Chasing Festival and go to such trouble.

After reaching the outside of the forest, Su Yue stood up again with the crutches, looked at his son and asked, "Do you really not have to go out to the stall today?"

"Really? Besides..." Su Ping scratched his head and smiled, "I'm worried about setting up the stall. If I don't ask, you'll probably come by yourself again!"

Su Yue smiled without saying anything. Su Ping helped him walk into the forest, making way for the lush trees. It was quiet and peaceful. There was no path, but the land he had walked on was the road.

When they saw the grave mound, the father and son had gentle expressions. They didn't know why they had to come here today, but on this family reunion festival, they just wanted to come and felt they had to come.

Su Ping leaned over and pulled out the short dry grass on the grave and threw it to the open space nearby. When the grass died, even the roots were rotten, so he just stretched out his hand and pulled it out, it was easy.

Then the boy and his father sat together on a stone not far away. One was in his youth, and the other looked very old. There was silence between the two generations.

Su Yue supported his chin with one hand, and Su Ping also supported his chin with one hand. It was not a deliberate imitation, but a natural and heartfelt action, because they were connected by blood.

I sat for a long time, and around noon, there was a sudden earthquake, as if the earth was shaking for no reason, as if it would shake off all the living things on it. There was no warning, and it ended suddenly, lasting only a breath of time.

When it seemed as if an earthquake had begun, Su Ping quickly supported his father and sat firmly to prevent both of them from falling to the side.

At the end, both the father and the son were puzzled as to what had just happened.

Since Su Ping was born in Teyvat, he had never encountered an earthquake or ground fissure, but he still knew the most basic preventive measures. After all, he had lived an extra life.

Although the shaking stopped, Su Ping's hand did not leave his father, in case there were aftershocks or other dangers, so that he could detect them in time and escape with his father.

With his heartstrings tense, Su Ping pushed the ground with his toes slightly, ensuring that if there were any signs of danger, he would stand up instantly, carry his father and run away. As for if there were no signs, it would be useless for him to guard against them.

The forest was silent, with a gentle breeze caressing the vines, but it seemed to have settled down, as if everything had settled, with no tendency to rise again.

Su Ping was alert for a while, then he let down his guard a little, nodded to his father, and said, "It should be fine."

He said that, but he didn't let go of her hand yet, and it was obvious that he was still worried.

Su Yue didn't say anything special, just said okay.

After sitting on the stone for a while, the father and son were close to each other, and they walked out of the forest as they came in. The moment they stepped out, a drop of rain fell on Su Ping's cheek.

Su Ping looked up at the sky which had begun to drizzle again, and carried his father on his back, walking faster. They did not bring an umbrella this time, as they thought they would not stay for long, but the result was unexpected.

Heavy rain poured down, and the torrent of water washed over the father and son, bringing the coolness from the sky and blurring their vision.

Su Ping hugged his hands tighter, ready to hurry home. Although he would probably still be soaked, it was better than standing there stupidly in the rain.

As Su Ping sped up, an inexplicable whooshing sound was heard. It was a sharp and swift arrow that pierced Su Yue's back and penetrated deeply into the flesh. It was an arrow that came from nowhere!

The arrow penetrated three-quarters of the flesh, and after it stopped, the tail of the arrow bounced violently twice, which was shocking!

Su Ping stopped immediately. He felt a strong force coming from his back. His heart sank. He quickly put Su Ping down and looked at the wound anxiously.

Su Ping saw clearly that his father's face was ashen, and he clenched his teeth tightly, as if in great pain. The wound was on the back of his heart, where the arrow was stuck, and blood was dripping down the arrow shaft.

"Dad!" Su Ping squatted down and yelled, his hands trembling. He looked around, but his vision was blocked by the rain. He could only see a figure on the slope from a distance, but he couldn't see it clearly.

When Su Ping looked up and saw the figure through the rain, the figure raised his hand again and shot another arrow, pointing directly at the father and son.

puff!

The arrow pierced into the flesh, and the sound that made Su Ping extremely distressed rang out again. A blood flower bloomed in the rain, like the only bright spot in the colorless painting.

Su Yue's face was already pale, without a trace of blood. His eyes bulged due to the severe pain. He opened his mouth and gasped for air, while rain poured into his mouth.

The second arrow hit his shoulder and got stuck right between the bones. The pain was so excruciating that it was beyond words.

In the current situation, Su Ping only has two choices: either abandon his father and run away alone, or fight with that man to the death, with his life or death unknown.

When Su Yue opened his mouth in pain and Su Ping thought of a choice, the figure on the slope swung his hand and rushed down the slope towards the two of them.

Seeing this, Su Ping suppressed the fear in his heart, gritted his teeth, and ran over with bare hands. He might die, but he could not let his father fall into the hands of others, so he needed to resist.

The distance between them was more than 20 steps, and they rushed towards each other in an instant. In the moment before the fight, Su Ping saw the other's face clearly.

The man's eyes were only as big as beans, and the round-frame glasses he was supposed to wear were thrown away somewhere. This man was Chen Baiwang, with a hideous face and full of resentment.

The two sides met each other, and then Chen Baiwang stretched out his right hand, stabbed Su Ping with the dagger in his hand, intending to kill him.

A cold light flashed in Su Ping's eyes. The moment he became alert, it was too late to stop and change direction. He could only fall backwards and slide over with the force of his previous sprint.

Chen Baiwang's attack missed, so he immediately changed his strength and chopped downwards. However, he was old after all, and not a martial artist. In the cold rain, his body was much slower.

As for Su Ping, who was only thirteen years old, this would not happen. He rolled to the side to avoid the chop, then stood up quickly and punched him in the face.

Snapped!

The punch mixed with rain fell heavily on Chen Baiwang's face. His already aging body, under the influence of many factors, made his mind dazed for a moment.

At that moment, Su Ping grabbed the arm holding the knife with one hand and clenched his fist with the other hand. He punched him with different strengths and velocities, then returned and punched him again.

Bang bang bang!

Fists hitting human bodies, unbearable howls of pain, swept across the slope, but they were nothing under the constant pouring of rain.

Su Ping did not stop until the wailing sound gradually died down and the dagger in Chen Baiwang's hand fell to the ground. He immediately gasped like a cow and breathed heavily. His fist, which had just hit him so many times, was covered in blood. It was burning and it was impossible to tell whose blood it was.

Su Ping loosened his grip on Chen Baiwang's arm, and the latter fell on his back, his chest still rising and falling, but he was breathing in less than he was breathing out, so he wouldn't live long.

Su Ping could not help but be stunned, because Chen Baiwang's appearance at this moment was horrible. His entire nose was collapsed, his face was swollen and covered with bruises and bloodstains, and his sternum was broken, so it was very difficult and painful for him to breathe in and out.

But even in such a tragic situation, the other party was still hanging on with one breath left, and it seemed that he would stop there. He might get up at any time and threaten Su Ping's life.

In addition to the two arrows Chen Baiwang shot at Su Yue just now, as well as all the previous hatred, Su Ping was furious and looked viciously at his enemy who was just gasping for breath on the ground.
