In Genshin Impact: I accidentally ruined the Seven Gods

Bai Mu was somewhat puzzled; he had been puzzled countless times today.

He never expected that this ordinary old man would recognize him.

Bai Mu also discovered that the old man was his follower, but Bai Mu did not want to admit his identity in front of him, fearing that the old man would be too excited and cause the account to be deleted prematurely.

To give an example, if an ordinary young man in Liyue Harbor saw Morax walk up to him and want to talk to him, he would probably faint from excitement, let alone this elderly man.

“No, I am not the Lord, but a member of the Lord’s family. I am here to buy your house.”

The old man was somewhat disappointed when he heard that Shiraki did not acknowledge his identity, but he became excited again when he heard Shiraki say that he was a member of the family.

For him, being able to speak with the Lord's retinue was enough to make his life complete.

Then he heard Bai Mu say that he wanted to buy his house, and the old man immediately said that there was no need to buy it, and that he could just give it to him.

At this moment, Ningguang and Ganyu also walked in. Seeing Baimu talking with the old man, they guessed that Baimu probably wanted to buy the house.

They immediately offered to pay for Bai Mu's bill, but the old man waved his hands repeatedly.

Although he knew the identities of the two people in front of him and that they were not short of money, it was Bai Mu who wanted to buy the house, so he couldn't possibly take the money.

The old man also said that his shop was located in the heart of Liyue, and the money he had earned in his early years was enough to ensure he would have no worries about food and drink in the future. Giving the shop to Bai Mu was not a big deal.

Looking at the stubborn old man in front of him, Bai Mu was helpless. But then, as if he had thought of something, a dark spatial passage appeared behind him.

After rummaging around inside for a while, Bai Mu pulled out a porcelain bowl that resembled one from over a thousand years ago, amidst the shocked gazes of the three people in front of him.

Bai Mu handed the bowl to the old man and said, "As a believer of the Lord, I cannot let you suffer a loss. This is a bowl that the Lord once used. I am giving it to you, and this bowl will bring you good luck in the future."

Looking at the porcelain bowl in his hand, which was different from the modern decorative style, the old man's excitement had changed from his mood to his expression.

He never expected that his kindness would bring him such a great reward.

Then, the old man took out the things he had prepared earlier from the house, and under the shocked gazes of Bai Mu, Ning Guang, and Gan Yu, he picked up his luggage and left the house with great speed.

All that remained was the house deed.

Watching the old man's departing figure, Bai Mu could only sigh:

"As expected, in this world, money is worthless in the face of faith (except for that certain cunning merchant from Sumeru)."

Shortly after the old man left, Ningguang and Ganyu also took their leave.

Bai Mu stayed alone in the house, sorting through the goods left behind by the old man.

……

In the office of Ningguang in the Qunyu Pavilion.

The secretary, Bai Shi, had been waiting for quite some time. In her opinion, Ning Guang's trip to meet an unknown deity was somewhat risky. Only after seeing Ning Guang return safely did Bai Shi breathe a sigh of relief.

Ningguang paid no attention to her secretary's thoughts; at that moment, she was organizing her observations from the day.

She had heard rumors before, from who-knows-where, that the relationship between the God and the Emperor was equal, not the superior-subordinate relationship between the Emperor and the other immortals, but rather a friendly, equal relationship similar to that between the Emperor and the Demon God of Destiny.

She was initially skeptical. Because Bai Mu had remained in Qingce Manor and hadn't left, his presence was very low, leading people to subconsciously assume he was the Emperor's subordinate.

However, Ningguang keenly noticed that Bai Mu addressed Zhongli as "Morax" instead of "Emperor" in Bai Mu's words today.

This is enough to prove the authenticity of the news. It's impossible for immortals or the Emperor's subordinates to directly address someone as "Morax"; only hostile demons or figures of equal rank would use that term. As for Bai Mu being a hostile demon? Ningguang has already refuted that. Anyone who can openly enter Liyue Harbor cannot be a hostile demon.

Bai Mu's current impression of her is that of a gentle and easy-going elder.

……

After tidying up the general store, Shiraki planned to go to Shin-Yuki-Han to finish the meal he hadn't eaten earlier.

As soon as Bai Mu stepped outside, he smelled the aroma of food. Unlike the aroma from Xinyuexuan, this smell gave him a homely feeling.

Although the dishes at Xinyuexuan are high-end, they would deter ordinary people. However, the aroma of the dishes made Bai Mu feel that even an ordinary person could step into the restaurant.

Following the scent, Bai Mu arrived at the entrance of a restaurant, where the three large characters "Wanmintang" on the signboard were particularly eye-catching. Bai Mu instantly understood; in Liyue, only Wanmintang possessed such an aroma, and its fragrance was no less than that of Xinyuexuan.

Just then, a small bear that looked like a plush toy suddenly ran out of the Manmin Hall and hugged Shiraki's leg.

"Lu Lie?"

Guoba was a little confused. Although he didn't recognize the person in front of him, he felt a very warm feeling towards him. To be precise, it was the person's aura that made him feel very warm, so he couldn't help but move closer.

Looking at the bouncy rice crackers in front of him, Bai Mu was about to reach out and pat the rice crackers' head when suddenly a little girl named Mie Chen hurriedly ran out of Wanmin Hall from a briefcase.

"Guoba, don't run around!" Xiangling ran out of Wanmintang. She was originally going to find her master to practice shooting, but Guoba suddenly darted out. She thought something had happened, and followed him without even putting down the gun in her hand.

"I just wanted to pat his head, was that really necessary?"

"Lu Lie?"

Bai Mu and Guo Ba both looked at Xiang Ling, then at the box containing Mie Chen in her hand.

Seeing that Bai Mu and Guoba were both looking at her like that, Xiangling lowered her head a little embarrassed and whispered to Bai Mu, "I'm sorry, I was a little anxious just now, but this is the first time I've seen Guoba so close to a stranger."

Bai Mu guessed that the reason Guoba was so close to him was probably because he carried the people's faith.

Then, Bai Mu enveloped his palm with divine power and gently stroked Guoba's head a few times. Feeling the divine power in Bai Mu's hand, Guoba closed his eyes in enjoyment.

Before Guoba could enjoy it any longer, Xiangling suddenly remembered that she still had to go to her master's place to practice her shooting. So she grabbed the reluctant Guoba, apologized to Baimu, said goodbye, and headed to Grandma Ping's location.

Watching Xiangling and Guoba walk away, Bai Mu had no intention of eating at Wanmintang; he had reserved a private room at Xinyuexuan.

……

In the early hours of the morning, amidst the waiters' bewildered stares, Bai Mu left Xinyuexuan with a satisfied expression.
