Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army

Chapter 153 Apprenticeship Successful

After that day, Su Ping really did not encounter any threats from anyone, and his business went on as usual, and his days passed one by one.

When three fellow students came to visit, they learned from casual conversation that the woman was actually a colleague of Su Ping.

She also started out in a snack street and acquired a store last year. The woman gradually lost herself in the money that seemed to be falling from the sky.

It is said that after this incident, when the three senior students were just preparing to resolve the issue, the girl's parents came to the private school, educated the girl in person, and made it clear that they had nothing to do with Wang Rui anymore.

This quick and sensible behavior clearly shows that he has good eyesight and intelligence and can see clearly the enemy and the situation. He is indeed a good businessman, but sometimes he needs to be more cautious to avoid insecurity behind.

Su Ping was also thinking that the middle-aged businessman whose business was robbed from his stall last year might have been dealt with in advance because of some reasons, or simply because he did not appear in front of him.

It could be someone Su Ping knows, or it could be Ningguang's connections. After all, this matter benefits more than just him, but Su Ping doesn't know whether it is true or not.

It’s a morning in late spring, when spring has not yet gone and early summer is yet to come.

The young man in the grocery store got up early as usual, and then took the brocade box given to him by the boss who came down from upstairs with both hands.

Su Ping looked at the well-packaged box and felt that it must be more than just a beautiful thing. He smiled and said, "Thank you Miss Ningguang for your help."

"Just say thank you. I just happened to know someone who does this business. As the saying goes, good things should be kept within the family." Ningguang smiled faintly, and then wondered why the boy wanted to buy such an expensive thing, so she asked, "So what are you going to do with such an expensive thing?"

"I'm going to learn from a master, so of course I have to buy something more expensive." Su Ping's eyes fell on the girl's face, and the two of them looked at each other.

Ningguang nodded slightly and did not ask who the master was, what skills he was learning, or where he was going to study.

After breakfast, Su Ping asked for half a day off in the morning, but in case half a day was not enough, he said he would see the situation in the afternoon to see if he could make it back.

Then, the young man held the brocade box in both hands and walked towards Yujingtai with big strides.

In his brocade box was half a pound of tea, which he had found with the help of Ningguang from an "acquaintance". It cost him a full 500,000 Mora. If he hadn't had this acquaintance, he would probably have needed to spend tens or even hundreds of thousands more.

But in fact, this tea is not very precious in Liyue Harbor. It is considered a blessing if it is not thrown away on the tables of those wealthy merchants.

Because Su Ping was still the owner of a small shop at that time, and Ningguang was the owner of a large shop, so they said to buy expensive ones.

Outside Yujing Terrace, there are several flower beds planted with precious, hard-to-grow, cold, and cold colored lilies that only bloom at night, as well as red and pink neon flowers that seem to be blooming all the time.

And at the edge of a flower bed, there is often a kind old man admiring the flowers or drinking tea.

However, in the impression of the few people in Liyue Port, this person is always alone, and there has never been any other friends of the same age, or children or grandchildren around her.

Her whereabouts are a mystery, her residence is a mystery, and even she herself said she had forgotten her real name, so people generally call her Grandma Ping.

Grandma Ping probably thought that this name was good and not losing her status, so she did not correct the way the Liyue children called her and continued to use this as her "name".

When Su Ping arrived here, he noticed the small stall with several teapots and walked over quickly, but when he got closer, he quickly slowed down.

Behind the small tea stall that did not sell tea, there was a reclining chair. The kind old woman was lying on the reclining chair, facing Liyue outside the stone railing, with her back to anyone who came by.

Su Ping held the brocade box and stood beside the tea stall, waiting quietly.

There are many reasons for doing this. He felt that it might be a test from the old woman, or it was possible that the other party did not know he was coming and was really sleeping.

But no matter whether it was the former or the latter, a kind old man who was sleeping soundly should not be woken up in any case, even if Su Ping knew that the other party was not an ordinary person, but an immortal.

He was standing, holding a brocade box in his hand. Grandma Ping was lying there. Her old face was kind, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth. It was not known whether it was there originally or just appeared. Anyway, the person standing could not see it.

Time passed little by little, morning, noon, and near noon. The shadows of the two people changed from long to short, but their positions did not change at all.

Just as Su Ping was about to wait and vow not to give up, he finally heard the old man's gentle and kind words.

"Child, why are you here?"

"Apprenticeship!"

Su Ping's voice was hoarse. He had been standing for a long time and was a little dazed. In addition, his mouth was dry, so he blurted out these two simple words.

Grandma Ping slowly stood up and stood on the ground, hunched over her old waist. She looked up with her eyes slit open, sized up the boy, and said slowly, "Why are you looking for me? I'm just an old person with limited mobility. I don't have the skills that are taught in martial arts schools."

Su Ping leaned forward slightly and smiled gently, "I know Sister Ganyu. I asked her to help me find a fairy who is willing to accept me as a disciple and lives in Liyue Harbor. At that time, you said that the time has not come and the fate has not yet begun!"

"I did say this, but did I ever explain clearly when the opportunity came and what the fate was?" Grandma Ping said leisurely, with one hand on the tea stall.

Su Ping said: "No, but I don't know when I can become Master's disciple, so I brought a gift today. It depends on Master's mood. If Master is in a good mood, I will accept it. If not, I won't accept it."

"Oh?" Granny Ping's eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance, and she said calmly, "If the old lady doesn't accept you, but wants this gift, what will you do?"

Su Ping hesitated for a moment, looking at the old man who seemed to have such an expression on his face. He did not brag about not feeling sorry for him, but just spoke the truth.

"Of course I feel sad for a while, but I will definitely come back to see you with other gifts until you accept me as your disciple."

"You have perseverance, are honest, and have a kind heart." Grandma Ping looked at the young man in front of her and continued, "Tell me, why do you want to become my disciple now?"

"Before, I became your disciple because I wanted to learn some immortal life-saving methods. Now it's the same, but there is one more thing, in order to join the Qianyan Army!"

"Then you are in the wrong place. I have no right to help you through the back door!"

Su Ping was speechless for a moment, surprised at how such a kind-looking old man could say such worldly words. Then he tried to explain.

"I want to learn my master's moves and spells, so that I won't be eliminated in the Qianyan Army assessment in the future."

Grandma Ping didn't say anything, but just looked at the boy quietly. After a while, she turned around and walked a few steps away, opening her eyes and looking down at this prosperous commercial port.

"Leave the gifts behind, leave them all behind..."

Su Ping nodded and placed the brocade box on the tea stand. He then crossed the tea stand, knelt on his knees, and said loudly, "Master, I bow three times to you, your disciple!"

Knock, knock, knock!

When Su Ping put his forehead to the ground, he exerted a little force, making the sound pleasant, but he himself felt a little uncomfortable.

After kowtowed three times, Grandma Ping patted the boy on the shoulder and signaled him to get up.

The boy's body shape was no different from that of an ordinary adult, and he was much taller than the old man when he stood there.

Grandma Ping waved her hand, asking the boy to bend down, then flicked her finger on his forehead and scolded him with a smile: "Silly boy, don't you know to use your hands to support your back?"

"It's not sincere to use your hand to support it." Su Ping touched his forehead. The pain just now seemed to disappear in an instant after the old man's flick.

Grandma Ping shook her head and smiled, her hand placed on the brocade box, her voice still kind, "Now that you have become my disciple, you must practice diligently. I plan to teach you the spear technique first."

Su Ping did not speak, but just leaned forward to keep level with his master, waiting for the next words.

“Most people practice spearmanship as a child, which means they have to lay a solid foundation since childhood, but you are fourteen years old now, which is obviously too old.

But don't be discouraged. Practicing spear requires persistence. Although you need to put in a lot more effort to reach the level of Tongzi Kung Fu, I believe you can do it."

Grandma Ping took her hand off the brocade box and placed it on the boy's head, stroking it gently while talking non-stop: "Your physique is pretty good, and your fate with immortality is strong now, good."

Grandma Ping then sat back on the recliner, looked at the boy who was still in a daze, and said, "Don't wait any longer. The idea of ​​an immortal stroking my head and marrying me to gain immortality is just a fantasy after all!"

Su Ping smiled awkwardly and stood up to stand beside his master.

Grandma Ping looked around and saw that there was no one else here in the middle of the day. Then she flipped her right hand and formed a mysterious seal.

The moment the seal was formed, the two people who were there disappeared, leaving only the lid of a teapot on the table, which jumped slightly and then remained motionless.

Su Ping did not see the seal clearly, but he felt a flash before his eyes, and then he and his master arrived in this fairyland-like area.

There are several floating islands here. There are cultivated fields and crops, weapons training grounds, and residential houses on the islands. The islands are connected by bridges that should be the magic of immortals.

Moreover, the time here seems to be the same as that of the outside world. The big sun is hanging on the dome, and if you stand on the edge and look down, you can see a quiet bright moon just below the big sun.

Su Ping sighed, but he didn't scream. After all, he was old enough and still had some control.

"A Ping, why are you free today?" A blue-white creature with an orange-red and slightly yellow belly suddenly appeared. It looked at the boy and asked, "Why did you bring someone else with you?"

Grandma Ping smiled kindly and explained, "It's not someone else, it's my new disciple Su Ping. He will be training in the Chen Ge Pot for a while. I came to inform you first."

"This pot originally belongs to you. I am only staying here temporarily. Why do you need to inform me?" The round creature, who was unknown in appearance but very friendly, said gently to the boy, "If you have any problems in the pot in the future, you can come to me for help. We can also chat occasionally."

Grandma Ping looked at the young man and said, "Her name is A Yuan, and her immortal name is Zhenjun Xiaohong Jiyu. Because time is unforgiving, she lives in this pot of mine.

When you are free, you can chat with her more. And when you are crossing the island, remember to take it easy, otherwise if you fall off, you will have to trouble her to pick you up! "
