Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army
Chapter 165: One for one, one for one
Facing the girl's questioning, Su Ping had no choice but to repeat: "I am."
As if she realized her own mistake, Keqing explained: "That's not what I meant. It's just that I saw you practicing with your spear every morning, but I never greeted you, and I never thought that you were Su Ping..."
Su Ping didn't say anything. After all, the other party was just surprised for a moment, so this reaction was still good.
Feeling that her words were making things worse, Keqing had to explain herself again in a lengthy speech to avoid misunderstanding.
"Mr. Su, I have read all your works, and I have always wanted to meet you. Unfortunately, due to some reasons, I was unable to attend the only meeting you ever performed on stage.
I was just... too excited, so I said something wrong, please don't mind... I, I."
The girl's lips trembled slightly, and she looked at the unmoved other party. Her words stopped abruptly, and she stood there in silence, suddenly remembering something.
"By the way, since you lost too much blood two days ago and I sent you to the clinic, I have reported everything to the General Affairs Department. It should be soon before relevant personnel come to conduct relevant investigations."
Su Ping opened his mouth to speak, but couldn't help coughing a few times, "Um... can you help me get a glass of water?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Ping regretted it and said, "Forget it, no need to bother."
"It's okay, I didn't pay attention just now. I forgot that your body was still dehydrated after you woke up." Keqing turned and walked to get the water cup.
At this moment, Ningguang came with Baiwen. Seeing Su Ping wake up, the worry on her face finally disappeared and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Ningguang walked to the bedside, pulled a chair and sat down. Her haggard look was now filled with joy, and she said, "I'm glad you've woken up."
"I'm sorry to have made you worry." Su Ping looked at the bloodshot in her eyes and the heavy bags under her eyes, feeling very uncomfortable.
Keqing was holding the cup of water. She also knew that the relationship between the two was unusual, so she gave the cup to the white-haired woman to avoid any misunderstanding.
"Thank you." Ningguang looked back and smiled. She was very grateful to the girl who saved her Su Ping, and her words were very gentle.
As for the possible bloody plot that might have happened when Keqing was alone in the ward with Su Ping, she didn't even think about it.
"Come on, drink slowly, don't choke." Ningguang held a hollow reed tube between her fingers, dipped a few drops of water in it and brought it to the boy's mouth.
The injured were miserable and had to take their time even to drink water. But Su Ping was lucky because the person who fed him water was not a stranger, but the woman in front of him.
It’s hard to say whether to describe this scene as heartwarming or chilling, as the two people present at the event covered their mouths and laughed.
Especially Keqing, who has regarded this writer, who is two years older than her, as a role model since she was a child. Seeing this scene, of course she couldn't help laughing.
Afterwards, people from the General Affairs Department also came to question, but after a few questions, they could only confirm that it was a killer who died for money and birds for food, but they could not find any clues from the traces of a fight left at the scene.
"We will do our best to investigate, Mr. Su, rest assured."
They come and go in a hurry. The General Affairs Department, which is busy with all kinds of affairs, big and small, has one more unsolved case.
Su Ping felt that this case would most likely fall into oblivion. After all, even if he had some clues and knew a few possible masterminds, he had no evidence to identify them.
Late at night, Su Ping and Ningguang were the only ones in the ward. The latter was there to keep watch in case the injured man, who was temporarily unable to get out of bed, needed anything in the middle of the night.
Ningguang slept on a small bed in the corner of the ward. She had to curl up to lie down, but looking at her eyelashes that trembled from time to time, it was clear that she was not asleep yet.
Su Ping's bed was big enough for him, but due to the numerous wounds on his back, he had to add two layers of cushions, making him feel as if he was trapped in a sponge, with an indescribable discomfort.
So neither of them slept that night.
"Miss Ningguang?" Su Ping asked.
"What's wrong?" Ningguang sat up quickly.
"You can't sleep either?"
"How can someone who is taking care of others fall asleep first?"
"No business tomorrow?"
"Don't talk nonsense. There is plenty of business, but even without big orders, the shop is still thriving."
"Well, after I can get out of bed in ten days or so, we'll go back to the shop, okay?"
"You don't like this?"
"Who would like to stay in a clinic all day long without doing anything?"
"That's true. Be careful when you get back. Don't get hurt. Leave all the other work to others. Close the pastry shop if necessary. Your health is more important."
"Miss Ningguang..."
"Ok?"
“In fact, sometimes I find that you don’t really like Mora that much, you are just enjoying the atmosphere it brings.” Su Ping had a very peaceful smile on his young face.
"Let's talk about it later." Ningguang nodded and smiled.
"You're just thinking that with these Moras, you can buy whatever you want, make up for what you're lacking, and you won't have to worry about a disaster taking away the important people around you, right?"
"Oh, about 7 or 8 points. There's still one missing, but you didn't tell me."
"What is that?" Su Ping showed his anticipation. This good seedling finally had something beyond his expectations.
Ningguang thought about the look on the boy's face and laughed, "How about we guess, it's related to you!"
"That's about me... too much, right?"
"One more reminder, personal relationships will never be involved in official matters."
"Miss Ningguang's dowry!"
"That's a lot, didn't you expect that?"
"Indeed, I didn't consider this."
"It will take at least five years for you to reach the age, little brother. I just don't know if you will change your mind by then."
"We will be together for the rest of our lives. If you break this oath, my meridians will be severed and I will die suddenly!"
"You don't have to raise your hand to swear?"
"My hands are hung up, so everything I say is a test for my future. If I disobey you, Miss Ningguang, you can throw something at me or scold me!"
"Hahaha... little brother, the love experience of the older generation is not applicable. Today's vows of love are not as good as real gold, silver, and house Mora!"
"Then I..."
"You don't have to. I'm not a very new woman either. Even if I was deceived by you, it's my own fault. I can't blame others. But the price and consequences depend on whether you can bear them!"
"Yes, yes. I will follow Miss Ningguang's instructions."
"Still calling me Miss Ningguang?"
"Why not?"
"How about removing the nickname and calling me sister, little brother?"
"Then, Sister Ningguang!"
"Oh, you're so sweet, sister will buy you some candy tomorrow, okay?"
"Can I imagine that these words of coaxing a child were spoken more than ten years ago?"
"You naughty girl, more than ten years ago, my sister didn't buy candy from Mora."
"It seems to be the same with me."
As they talked, they smiled knowingly. They were both poor children with similar backgrounds, but one was luckier and did not have to rely on hawking things to make a living when he was a child.
"Sister Ningguang."
The smile was still on Ningguang's face, but she was motionless, like a beautiful statue, devoid of the life and energy that a living person should have.
Su Ping was not panicked, and said with a smile on his face: "Master, why are you here?"
"Come and see if my good disciple blames his master."
A white-haired, hunched figure suddenly appeared in the room. Grandma Ping had a kind face and smiling eyes.
"Master, what are you talking about? I dare not have such thoughts." Su Ping said sincerely.
Grandma Ping said, "Oh," and walked to the bedside, and said slowly, "Then why are you here at the clinic instead of my tea stand?"
"I wasn't the only one there that day. If I send it to Master, your identity as an immortal might be leaked out. Wouldn't that cause a lot of trouble?"
"That won't happen. I don't want them to remember, or I want them to think it's not the case. I have many ways to do it. So if there is a next time, and you are injured, you can come to me and don't worry about anything else!"
Su Ping pondered for a moment, "The methods of the immortals are really so powerful that they can make people forget a certain memory. How do they do it?"
Grandma Ping said calmly: "Because I am an immortal."
The irrefutable facts are the reason for his confidence. After all, he is an immortal who is thousands of years old and possesses too many means and abilities.
Grandma Ping looked at the disciple lying in bed and said, "You really don't blame me, your master, and don't have the thought of 'my master is obviously an immortal, but he didn't come to save me in the first place'?"
"No." Su Ping answered decisively: "If jade is not polished, it will not become a useful tool. I understand this principle. I learned the skills from Master with the original intention of saving my life, but I still failed. It was only because of Master's final move that I survived!
Master, please don't think that I, as a disciple, have brought shame to the sect. I just want you to lose face!"
Grandma Ping sighed, reached out and stroked the boy's head, and said gently: "You make me feel bad when you say that, how about I get some things back for you?"
"Master, what do you want?" Su Ping asked curiously.
Grandma Ping had a smile on her face and said calmly, "I will pay back what the Guhua Sect did to my disciple. I will pay you back in kind!"
"Is it okay?" Su Ping was of course happy to hear that his master wanted to avenge him, but if it would affect his master himself, he would rather not do it.
"Of course, even if the Emperor comes in person, we are the one who is right, and no one can say anything!"
Su Ping listened to the great man that his master rarely mentioned, and said angrily: "It's all up to the master to decide."
"Okay, then continue to be intimate with this little girl."
Su Ping felt inexplicably embarrassed. When he thought that his master might know everything that had just happened, his heart trembled.
That feeling is like a child who is in premature love and is secretly observed by his parents. He is nervous and flustered, but helpless.
That night, the two people in the ward did not fall asleep.
That night, three disciples from a large sect in Liyue had their left arms pierced, with two wounds in front and several wounds in the back.
Moreover, the martial arts skills of the three men were destroyed and their meridians were broken. Even if they recovered in the future, they would not be able to move like normal people. This was exactly the same as the one among them who was already paralyzed on one side.
