Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

After Master Chang explained how legendary "The Record of the Broken Halberd of Shenxiao" was, Xingqiu also began to explain.

"In later reprints, the sixth volume, which was intended to supplement the story, was not reprinted for some reason."

"Yes, yes, that's it! Because there are so few of them in existence, no matter how much money I need, I can't bear to pawn them."

After Xingqiu finished explaining, Master Chang Jiu echoed.

After listening to what Master Chang said, Xingqiu noticed the key point and asked expectantly.

"So, this book is still in your possession?!"

"Yes, this is the only beloved book I have left..."

A fierce voice came from behind the crowd.

"Hey, Lao Chang!"

Everyone turned to look at the person who made the sound, a muscular, strong man.

"Are you giving me the time of day by dragging your feet? Are you going to sell that batch of amber or not?!"

His name was Changhu, and his tone of voice and body language were as fierce as a debt collector coming to take your life.

"To anger the virtuous scholar is to anger the foolish masses. You should understand this principle."

When Master Chang saw the newcomer, he looked terrified, as if he were afraid of being beaten to death at any moment.

"Ah, it's you again... But I can't sell a batch of amber at a 30% discount, otherwise... I might never be able to redeem my books..."

"I don't care, do you want to read or eat? Or do you want to take a book with you to your coffin and lie down in it early?"

Chang Hu's words showed no sign of tolerance, and his increasingly aggressive attitude made Master Chang want to get angry, but dare not.

"Uh, you... sigh..."

Xingqiu saw that although everyone in his group was capable of fighting, he was the only boy, and in this situation, only he could have any intimidating presence. So he stepped forward and began to argue.

“That’s not how you put it, sir. Business is about mutual consent; there’s no such thing as forcing someone to buy or sell.”

"Where did you come from? What's it to you!"

Xingqiu introduced himself with great confidence.

"I am Xingqiu of the Guhua Sect, a chivalrous person who stands up for justice when I see injustice on the road."

Changhu burst into laughter when he saw that Xingqiu was just a boy with fair and tender skin.

"Pfft... Pfft hahahahahaha—! The Guhua Sect, he said the Guhua Sect! Hahaha—! Did you hear that? Hey, people still mention the Guhua Sect these days! It's just a small, dying sect, isn't it? And this dares to act chivalrously?"

"Justice has nothing to do with status. You're just a lowly servant who's using someone else's power to bully others. Aren't you doing evil just the same thing?"

"You...you! Fine, you just wait! Let's see if I can handle you! And you, Lao Chang! You have to sell this batch of ore whether you like it or not!"

Changhu was furious when his identity was exposed in a single sentence. He left after uttering a harsh remark.

"Alas, even a tiger fallen into the plains is bullied by dogs. I can't go on living like this."

Master Chang was still sighing, but Xingqiu didn't care about the atmosphere and continued to borrow books.

"So, on that note, could you lend me the book?"

"Forget it, I don't expect anyone else to worry about me. Since you just spoke up for me, take your book and get out of here."

Seeing that Xingqiu was also a book lover and had even helped him, Master Chang suppressed his anger as much as possible and lent out the book.

"Thank you so much! I have been looking forward to this book for more than three years. I will repay your kindness in the autumn."

"Alright, alright, just remember to return the book to me. I have no expectations of the Guhua Sect disciples..."

Xingqiu lowered his head slightly, turned around and left.

"Hey! You're leaving already? We haven't even figured anything out yet!"

Xingqiu didn't stop walking. Seeing that he couldn't stop Xingqiu, Paimeng had no choice but to follow.

After Ying and Paimeng left, Huiyuan looked at Master Chang and, after he went inside, reluctantly followed Xingqiu.

After finally catching up with Xingqiu, I found him leisurely reading a book.

Paimon was furious. He frowned, put his hands on his hips, and demanded, "Is standing here reading your way of doing justice?"

Completely ignoring Paimon, Xingqiu was engrossed in reading.

"Interesting, very interesting, so that's what happened..."

Hey, listen to me!

"I see, there's definitely a reason why it's so popular."

"Hey--"

Ying interrupted Paimon and began to review the game.

"Those men who came over so aggressively just now... claimed to be working for Maocai Gong?"

"Yes, if they can't buy the ore at a super low price, they'll make Master Chang suffer. They're no different from robbers!"

"It seems we won't be able to see the Liyue arc."

Just as Ying was sighing and about to give up, Xingqiu spoke up.

"You're all asking for books, are you giving up so easily?"

Seeing Xingqiu pick up a book, Paimon started complaining.

"Can't you hear us?"

"I borrowed this book because I think that Master Chang is desperate and will eventually pawn it, which would be a real shame."

Xingqiu looked up at the sky, and it was clear that his yearning for and understanding of chivalry had reached the point where he always kept his word.

“I didn’t just say what I told Master Chang. Since he has been kind to me, I will definitely repay him. That is chivalry.”

Looking at Ying, Paimeng, and Huiyuan, Xingqiu made his promise.

"I will keep this book safe, and I will also help him redeem his other books."

"Have you come up with a solution?"

Ying only believed Xingqiu had a solution because he was Huiyuan's friend. Otherwise, she might have doubted whether Xingqiu would keep his word.

"Of course there is a way. I already have a clue. Now I just need to consider the details."

Whenever Xingqiu needed to think, he would take out a book. It seemed that this would help his mind work faster.

"Hmm... Let me think about it for a moment, it won't take too long..."

A minute later, that familiar voice appeared.

"Oh, you actually dare to stay here? You think I was just trying to scare you?"

The newcomer was Chang Hu, followed by several thugs and a Thunderfire sorcerer from the Fools Clan.

After calling over a group of people, Changhu became even more assertive.

"The Douhua faction has no people, no skills, but they're quite bold. Oh, wrong one, the Guhua faction! The Guhua faction, right?"

Xingqiu closed his eyes, holding a book in his hand, showing no sign of fear.

As the saying goes, "An ant trying to shake a giant tree is laughable and shows a lack of self-awareness."

"Huh? What's with the fancy language?"

Xingqiu closed the book with one hand and tossed it to Xiaopaimeng for safekeeping. Xingqiu had issued an ultimatum, giving Changhu one last chance to turn back.

"Please leave. I will not tolerate forced buying and selling, especially since it is Master Chang Jiu who has been kind to me."
