Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

Even the system couldn't stand it anymore and helped Xingqiu explain to Huiyuan.

Huiyuan then agreed.

"Okay, I promise you."

But this answer made Xingqiu feel that something was wrong.

"I'm referring to the kind of sworn brotherhood that's done for secrecy. Not that kind of sworn brotherhood!"

"Ok, I know."

The fewer words Xingqiu said, the more he felt that Lingling had misunderstood.

(It's over, it's completely over.)

Xingqiu put on a desperate expression.

"Alright, alright, Xingqiu. I'm not at the age to get married yet, and I don't plan to marry anyone. I know it's just a secret sworn brotherhood, so don't be discouraged."

The system's inner monologue: (Does "not yet of marriageable age" refer to Lingling's skin being set at two thousand years old?)

Seeing that Xingqiu had finally regained his composure, Huiyuan spoke again.

"Sister Ying is still waiting for me, I'll be going now."

After calming down, Xingqiu believed Huiyuan's words, but felt something was strange in his heart.

(Why does Sister Lingling call everyone "brother" or "sister"? We didn't find any footprints or elemental remnants of hers on the way back to Liyue Harbor. She said she wasn't at the age to get married... but it doesn't seem like that. The magic she used during our sparring session was also unusual, could it be...?)

Expanding their elemental vision to examine Huiyuan, they discovered a trace of immortal aura that only appears during ceremonies of summoning immortals and the descent of the Emperor.

(Sister Lingling, is she an immortal?!)

As Huiyuan left, an evil thought arose in her mind.

(If I had agreed when there was a misunderstanding, it would have turned into a sworn brotherhood and marriage between Xingqiu and me. After that, wouldn't I be able to ask Xingqiu to wear women's clothing? Hehehe, Xingqiu in women's clothing...)

What? You're saying that it's perverted for a grown man like me to marry a cute little boy?

Lingling is the one who married Xingqiu. What does that have to do with me, Huiyuan?

......

After catching up with Ying and Paimeng, Huiyuan followed Xingqiu's instructions and went to Liuli Pavilion to find the servants of Feiyun Merchant Guild.

Ah Xu is a servant of the Feiyun Merchant Guild. When Xingqiu brought Huiyuan to the Feiyun Merchant Guild before, Huiyuan had seen him and chatted with him for a few words.

Upon arriving at the Liuli Pavilion, Huiyuan immediately recognized Axu, and Axu also recognized Lingling.

“He’s gone, give the letter to him.”

Paimon and Ying responded and stepped forward.

"Excuse me, we have a favor to ask. Please read this letter first."

Ying looked at Paimon, whose way of speaking seemed a bit off.

(Why does Paimon talk like Xingqiu now, like a scholar...)

Ashu looked at Paimon without finding anything strange. After all, Teyvat is home to a diverse array of creatures, and having a white elf follower who can fly and talk is quite normal.

Paimon handed over the letter, and Ashu said, "A letter? Oh, so it's about this again..."

"Again?"

Ying expressed her doubts, but Axu did not explain why.

"It's nothing, it's just my guess. Let me read the contents of the letter."

Ah Xu was a bespectacled, refined young man. He held the letter in his hands and read it carefully.

Paimon didn't think Ashu could understand the letter. No matter how eloquent Ashu seemed, Paimon didn't believe anyone could decipher such illegible handwriting.

So he whispered something to Ying.

"Does he even understand it...? And is this really the common language of Teyvat...?"

After reading the letter, Ah Xu put it away and said to everyone:

"Hmm...that's right, this handwriting is indeed something no one else can imitate."

Ah Xu respectfully clasped his hands in a salute, much more polite than the servants of the Maocai family.

"Distinguished guests, you must be tired from your journey. Let our Feiyun Chamber of Commerce host a welcome dinner for you."

"Wait, a welcome feast?"

Ying thought Ah Xu had misunderstood.

(Didn't I come here to help?)

Ah Xu patiently explained.

"No need to rush. I already understand what was mentioned in the letter, but we need some time to prepare. Please come to the Liuli Pavilion for a while, enjoy some refreshments and the sea view. This is just a small token of our hospitality."

Paimon got excited when he heard there was something delicious to eat.

"Wow, there's delicious food! They're being so kind to us!"

At this moment, Ying and Paimon were unaware of Xingqiu's true identity and genuinely believed that the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce were completely benevolent. While they were indeed good people, one must consider the character of one's guests. If they harbored ill intentions, then sorry...

Ah Xu mentioned a rule that every staff member of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce must follow.

"Hospitality is a required course for the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce. When distinguished guests come to visit, we cannot be negligent. Please come this way, everyone. I will lead the way."

......

Inside the Crystal Pavilion, Paimon exclaimed in amazement as he looked at the table full of delicious dishes.

"I never imagined that a bookworm could have so much influence."

After Lingling's hairpin flashed, Mimi appeared on the chair and started eating dried fish. Unlike Li Tiantian, whose appetite decreased after transforming into Lingling's skin, Mimi's appetite actually increased.

Paimon was full, but Huiyuan and Mimi were still eating.

At this moment, Ah Xu walked into the private room, and everyone's attention turned to him.

"I apologize for keeping you all waiting. The Feiyun Chamber of Commerce has made all the arrangements. Mao Cai Gong is rich and powerful, so ordinary lessons won't hurt him. To prevent him from doing the same thing again, we need to make him experience the same pain as Master Chang Jiu."

After glancing at Lingling petting the cat, Ah Xu silently noted down the characteristic that "Lingling loves cats," and continued speaking to the others.

"Mao Cai Gong's business is related to amber. If we can buy all the amber in Liyue, we can put Mao Cai Gong in a desperate situation. Without raw materials, even the most skilled craftsman can't make any products."

"I see! That way he won't be able to explain himself to the Fatui! But... Liyue is so big, buying all the amber must be a lot of trouble, right?"

After Paimon finished expressing his doubts, Ah Xu explained, "Well, it is indeed difficult to acquire them all at once, so according to the arrangements in the letter, we will have to trouble you all to help us out."

After Ah Xu finished speaking, he took out a map and hung it on the wall.

"First, there are several shops in Liyue City; I'll mark their locations on the map for you. Then, there are some unacquired amber stones in the Layered Rock Abyss that we also need to buy. Finally, there's the batch that Master Chang has."

After writing the annotations and markings, Paimon looked at the markings on the map and wrote them down.

"Yes, yes, I've got the three shops in the city, the Layered Rock Abyss, and Master Chang Jiu in my memory!"

"Of course, you don't need to worry about the procurement expenses at all."

As he spoke, Ah Xu took out a large bag of Mora, which contained an uncountable amount of Mora.
