Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

"You brat, looks like you're trying to stand up for Old Chang again? Well, you've come to the wrong time. Look, with the leader of the Fool's Clan backing me up today, even dozens of members of the Ancient Hua Sect combined can't afford to offend me!"

"Although I am young, I have been traveling the world for many years. When have I ever been afraid of evil?"

Xingqiu's confident expression made Changhu frown and take action.

"Then I'll teach you a lesson!"

Several thugs, pulling out crossbows and blades from who-knows-where, attacked without warning. The Thunderfire sorcerer also summoned several Thunderfires, which then launched an attack. Changhu didn't join the fight; instead, he hid in the back.

Huiyuan bypassed the battlefield where Ying, Xingqiu, and the other thugs were fighting and secretly walked up to Changhu. Lingling's devilish voice mocked the lewd Changhu.

"What, you don't dare to fight? You're just a stray dog ​​that only dares to hide behind its master and bark wildly."

"Hmph, you little girl, how dare you be so arrogant? Take this punch!"

Huiyuan blocked the fist, which had no skill whatsoever, with just one finger.

(Not only is the speed slow, but the pre-punch wind-up is also very obvious. Compared to Xingqiu, he is far inferior.)

With this in mind, Huiyuan's mockery, delivered through Lingling's skin, was full of the flavor of a little devil.

"Uncle~ you haven't eaten?~ It's just scraps of fish, scraps of fish, scraps of fish~"

Huiyuan yawned while looking at the other person with a cheeky expression.

Changhu looked at his fist suspiciously, thinking he hadn't used enough force, and swung his fist haphazardly, refusing to believe it.

Huiyuan easily blocked all of the opponent's punches with a single finger. Changhu even began to suspect that the opponent might have used a hidden weapon or poison.

Grabbing Changhu's fist, she squeezed it tightly and pressed down. Changhu's legs gave way, bending over. His head gradually dropped to about half his height.

"So tall, yet weaker than even a little girl, what a weakling!"

With one hand supporting him on the ground and both legs kneeling on the ground, Changhu, whose body was leaning backward, was completely unable to exert any strength to resist.

Lingling, who is cute in the eyes of others, looks like a demon in his eyes at this moment.

Huiyuan's face kept getting closer, and Changhu was filled with fear. His breath was suppressed by this inexplicable intimidation.

It's not that he's timid. Huiyuan's current attribute panel can definitely be described as being at the immortal level. Subconsciously, the pressure he unconsciously exudes is naturally also at the immortal level.

Huiyuan tightened her fist, and Changhu collapsed to the ground, too frightened to move.

He let go and looked at the battlefield on Xingqiu's side. As expected, these people were no match for Xingqiu and Yingmei.

Several thugs quickly dropped their weapons and ran over to help the limp Changhu up.

Even after getting up, Changhu still couldn't resist his stubbornness and kept shouting.

"I thought that piece of jade on your waist was just an ordinary gem... I never expected it to be the Eye of God! I'll let you off the hook for now! We'll see what happens! This isn't over yet!"

Huiyuan glared at him. Changhu was so frightened that he quickly turned around and ran away.

Although they showed no mercy in their attacks, each move aimed to kill, Xingqiu and Yingmei spared their lives, only beating them until their faces were bruised and swollen before letting them go.

"Sigh, it's impossible to expect them to learn their lesson."

Xingqiu looked at the group of people who were fleeing and said.

It was only then that Ying noticed that Xingqiu had a God's Eye hanging from his waist, and she stared in amazement at the Ancient Hua Sect.

"You actually have the Eye of God... The Ancient Hua Sect is actually a place where hidden talents reside?!"

"Well, using the Eye of God to repel enemies is seen as bullying the weak, so I don't really like using it. Although I have the desire to revitalize the sect, this is not something that can be accomplished overnight."

Xingqiu's performance just now changed Paimon's impression of him from "a hot-blooded, immature young man" to "a mysterious master with superb martial arts skills".

This made Paimon trust Xingqiu. After returning the book he was holding to Xingqiu, Paimon asked about what happened next.

"They've left now, but they'll definitely come back to cause trouble."

“I know I won’t harm my benefactor. There are ethical business practices, and I will take full responsibility for this matter.”

Xingqiu looked in the direction Changhu had fled, and everyone else followed suit.

"The Fools don't usually side with any merchant, but judging from the servant's arrogant attitude, what he said must be true. There's probably a deeper collusion involved."

Xingqiu turned to Ying and began to speak. Ying also looked at Xingqiu, while Paimeng was still angrily staring in the direction Changhu had fled.

"I've heard of the title 'Lord Maocai' that they just mentioned. His residence is quite prominent in Liyue Harbor. Please go and find out some clues."

Paimon then turned to Xingqiu, pretending to be thinking, and asked a question.

"That makes sense... So what are you going to do?"

Xingqiu turned around and walked to the wall, talking as he went.

"I?"

He then opened the book again, looked at it, and addressed the crowd.

“I have other things I want to know. Let me think... Let’s meet at Yujing Terrace in Liyue Harbor later.”

"Really? You don't just want to make us run errands, do you?"

Xingqiu ignored Paimon and was amazed by the contents of the book.

"Oh my, such a thing actually happened! This part is truly wonderful, absolutely wonderful!"

Xingqiu squinted, engrossed in his book, and pretended not to hear Paimon's words.

Paimon grew angrier and angrier, and stomped his feet.

"Ugh! I'm so angry! Can I hit him?!"

Ying tugged at Paimon's clothes and comforted him.

"A gentleman's revenge is never too late."

"Okay, but everyone who makes me angry, I'm going to give them a nasty nickname! Let's call them 'nerd'!"

Huiyuan patted Paimon's head.

"Alright, alright, Paimon, you just think the road is too long. I'll take you flying."

Paimon turned to look at Lingling.

"Huh? Take me flying? Aren't I already flying?"

"Hey, follow me and you'll find out."

Just now, Huiyuan discovered that the Wind God's Heart created by the system had another function: manipulating clouds. The techniques for using elemental power taught in the book "Basic Application of Elemental Power" are not basic at all; there just happens to be a technique that uses wind element to create clouds that can be trodden on.

You can even find all sorts of amazing moves in it, such as Flame Kick, Thunderbolt, and Spirit Slash. In short, this book records not only moves created by the system itself, but anything related to elemental power.

He led Paimon and Yingmei to a spot where Xingqiu couldn't see them. He created a cloud with a radius of five meters and had them step on it.

Wow! You can actually step on it!

Paimon was amazed and rolled around on the clouds.

As for why he was avoiding Xingqiu, it was because he didn't want Xingqiu to know just how powerful he was.

If they found out, they might not treat each other like friends when they meet again. Instead, they might be treated like royalty, addressed with the formal "you" (formal).
