Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army

A few days passed, but the teacher-student relationship between Rosalia and Su Ping was still not established.

The former was not discouraged and asked the question every day, as if he would never give up.

The latter flatly refused and showed no sign of giving in.

So every day in the grocery store, all the girls looked at these two people eagerly, as they expressed their views on everything from the heavens and the earth to the mountains and rivers, to human existence, and then to the great justice of the world. They talked about almost everything.

Of course, they were also happy about this kind of scene. After all, if they were to invite a gentleman with the same knowledge to come and explain these famous principles, a shop or a house that was only rented out would not be enough.

As for why Bai Shi Bai Xiao felt cold indoors because of the cold weather, it was unclear whether it was the effect of the medicine or Su Ping's high spirits that dispelled the cold.

Anyway, whenever the two of them were discussing philosophy, the two girls were very supportive and would applaud after a passionate speech.

In this way, the shop became like a theater, but without tickets, without hundreds of thousands of spectators, and without the three-foot red stage where the makeup and paint could not hide the joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness.

Every frown and smile, whether sad or happy, is written on the face. No one is lying to anyone, and everyone knows who is not lying to anyone.

The day before Rosalia left, a handsome man came to buy cakes despite the severe cold. When he saw the girl from Mond, he was also surprised.

Nan Zhangsheng was shocked and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Why can't I be here?" Rosalia closed her eyes slightly, pouted and said unhappily.

Su Ping's eyes flashed, realizing that there must be some story between the two of them, otherwise the always polite girl would not have such an expression.

As for why this was the case, Su Ping also got a rough idea from the argument between the two.

To put it simply, Nan Zhangsheng was taken to the Mond West Wind Church for treatment. During the examination, the pastor did not think much about it and directly put a water bottle in Nan Zhangsheng's hand.

The result is of course predictable. The water bottle fell to the ground and broke, splashing water all over the people around. Rosalia, who had just started studying in the church at the time, was unfortunately affected.

Not only that, but because it was break time, Rosalia just picked a seat at random and read quietly there. Her atmosphere was disturbed, her clothes got wet, and her book was not spared either. Who could tolerate this?

After the argument, Rosalia took the compensation from the pastor and happily bought someone's latest work. However, the wet book had blurred words even after it was dried.

It would be a waste to buy another one, so there was an extra book with blurred handwriting on Rosalia's bookshelf.

This incident was originally the priest's fault, but because the water bottle fell from Nan Zhangsheng's hands, this nun, who did not look like a clergyman, also "held a grudge" against him.

After hearing the story, Su Ping quickly asked Nan Zhangsheng what cakes he wanted, and then went upstairs to make them. It would not be good to keep the guests waiting too long, even if they were friends, they were still customers.

When Su Ping came downstairs carrying an extra plate of cakes, the two stopped arguing and turned their attention to a certain author who never updated his work.

Nan Zhangsheng was sometimes like this himself, so when Bai Shi and Rosalia spoke loudly, he seemed a little embarrassed and could only respond with a few words.

Ningguang was actually smiling, but when it came to character, she helped a certain author smooth things over and was the only one present who spoke up to defend him.

Although he didn't know why asking for leave for some reason would be considered as having a bad character, Su Ping still brought the cakes over.

Nan Zhangsheng did not bargain or use the excuse of being good friends as an excuse. He just paid the bill honestly and then continued chatting and laughing.

"I haven't been here for a while. Has Boss Su's cooking skills deteriorated?"

"You'll know if you try it. It's my craft that I've been making for years." Su Ping looked up at the crowd and said with a smile, "Everyone, eat. If it's not enough, I'll make more."

"Boss Su is very generous." Nan Zhangsheng gave a thumbs up.

Ningguang laughed and scolded, "It's been almost 20 days since we opened the shop. You're really willing to give up, Boss Su!"

"A small business relies on old customers coming back. Anyway... there's still some profit this way!" Su Ping held his chin with one hand and laughed.

Ningguang smiled brightly, outshining all the other beauties. Her eyes then fell on the plate of cakes that said "A Hundred Flowers in Full Bloom". She first tasted a small piece of what some people called "sweet round cake".

This kind of pastry has a monotonous taste and is simple to make. It is not very popular in Liyue Harbor, but the owner of this grocery store likes it very much.

……

Meeting is fate, but after meeting comes separation.

It was time for Rosalia to go back, back to the free city-state, bathe in the moonlight, and guard the "young people" she mentioned.

Of course Su Ping had to see her off, and he escorted her all the way to the north gate. The girl did not leave, but asked a question and told a story.

She asked, "Didn't you say in your previous letter that you would take uncle to Mond for treatment? Why haven't I seen uncle in the past few days?"

Su Ping just smiled bitterly and replied, "No need."

Although it was not stated explicitly, Rosalia knew the general reason. She quickly apologized, then got on the carriage she came in and looked back.

She added: "I still want to stick to my idea. Whether you like it or not, you are my teacher, Rosalia. This will never change in my life!"

Su Ping waved his hand, and after the carriage had gone away, he returned to the grocery store alone.

The day to the Sea Lantern Festival, which is celebrated all over the world, is getting closer day by day. Although the streets are cold, they are decorated with lights and spring couplets for the new year are posted first.

Su Ping stayed in his room, took his clothes and went into the Chen Ge pot.

Ah Yuan looked at the figure emerging, the young man still holding clothes in his hands, and couldn't help but laugh: "Take a bath, and come to Chen Ge Hu to avoid the cold."

"Since I have this treasure, I might as well use it." Su Ping put down his clothes and went to get a wax stick. "I have to wash it soon anyway, so it doesn't matter where I wash it."

Ah Yuan said calmly: "Although Chen Ge Hu is not affected by the outside world and the four seasons are like spring, it is still a bit deserted compared to the laughter, hustle and bustle, and blooming flowers in the outside world. Fortunately, you are over ten years old and can endure this loneliness."

"It's not bad. At least I'm not staying here alone until I die." Su Ping said casually, and then began his daily training.

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it to heart. Ah Yuan smiled secretly and watched quietly as the boy swung the stick with his hands, sometimes jumping up and leaving the ground, and sometimes leaning forward to get ready to attack.

"I guess by the beginning of next year, you will be able to practice the most basic gun skills. By then, the Dust Song Pot should also be recycled."

Ah Yuan's low murmurs were not heard by anyone, and she herself did not feel sad. After all, she had been here for many years and there was no need to be heartbroken like this.

What's more, when she goes back, she will actually stay at Grandma Ping's place. The master and disciple have a good relationship and meet each other often, so it doesn't matter where she goes.

A Yuan was thinking about the beginning of next year, and Su Ping also had something in mind, but he had no intention of asking, so he buried it in his heart.

That is about your own destiny.

He really didn't want to ask, because he was afraid that the result of asking would be the worst, forcing him to leave the prosperity and return to loneliness.

This is like a bedridden patient who, when receiving the medical report, dares not look at the specific situation on it, for fear of the worst outcome.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, an unusual customer came to the grocery store.

The guest was in his thirties and had an ordinary appearance, but when he smiled, he gave people a very kind feeling.

Su Ping learned the man's identity after being introduced by Bai Xiao, and couldn't help but recall the past.

The man's name was Lin Tianyuan, and he was the main person in charge of a mid-tier chamber of commerce in Liyue Harbor. Half of the money that Ningguang used to buy the grocery store came from his generous donation.

Lin Tianyuan came this time because he saw that the grocery store business was booming, so he brought a question that concerned the future development of several people.

"When I made this investment, I had a feeling that it would at least not be a loss-making deal. Little Ningguang, you really didn't let me down. In just less than three years, the total revenue is equivalent to the total revenue of developing other stores in five or six years.

This shows that you are definitely not an ordinary person. I came here today to ask you about your intentions. Do you want to work in the Chamber of Commerce and develop steadily, take over the Chamber of Commerce in the future, or do you want to go out and try your luck on your own?"

Ningguang held up the teacup with her left hand, pondered for a moment, and slowly said, "Uncle Lin, if you hadn't helped me back then, I would never be sitting here today. But after joining the Chamber of Commerce, can Uncle Lin's and my shop still belong to us alone?"

Lin Tianyuan showed an appreciative look and smiled, "You're right. You can get a lot of resources by joining the Chamber of Commerce, but on the other hand, you will also get income and profits, and there will be competition, so I hope you will consider this choice carefully!"

Ningguang half closed her eyes and asked, "I want to ask Uncle Lin a question. What will happen if I don't join?"

"No matter what, this is my promise to you."

"Then I choose to develop on my own, and the profit sharing of the shop will remain the same. It's all right as it should be."

"Okay, but if the clouds do clear and the sun comes out, don't forget me."

"How could that be? Even if Ningguang sets foot on the clouds and spends money like water in the future, she will definitely not forget that you, Uncle Lin, helped me when I was in trouble!"

Lin Tianyuan smiled and said, "Your words are enough. It's a good thing that you have ambitions, but remember not to act on impulse. For us businessmen, one or two failures are nothing. The one who laughs last is the real winner."

“Ningguang naturally understands this principle.” The girl with white hair as white as snow smiled and said, “Uncle Lin, just wait and see. In the future, Liyue Harbor will undergo earth-shaking changes!”
