Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army

"Young Master Su, now that you're here, why don't you come up quickly and clear out these treacherous people in front of you!" Zeng Xi saw Su Ping in the distance, pointed his finger and shouted.

His words made the already bustling restaurant even more lively. The scholars who were watching were boiling with excitement, and they all shouted:

"Where is Su Ping? Where is he?"

"I thought he didn't dare to come, but he actually showed up. Humph, let's each take a sip of water and drown him!"

"Hey~ How can you be so vulgar? People like me, as scholars, should still be reasonable. Ahem... Where's Su Ping? Where did he go? If you have the ability, write poetry. If you have the ability, don't hide and keep silent!"

These obviously incoherent words made the faces of the small group of people who supported Su Ping change. Then they opened their mouths wide and came up with all kinds of evidence to try to shut their mouths.

Unfortunately, since they came to oppose, it was impossible for them to speak with logic and evidence, and all kinds of fictitious incidents came out of their mouths.

For a moment, everyone's expressions changed again and again, and some even seemed to overshadow the eight people at the table, as if they were determined to tear the roof of the restaurant off.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Su Ping felt that it was time to leave. He waved goodbye to the two women beside him and walked forward a few steps.

The two women who stayed where they were watched him quietly as he walked to the crowd. When he was about to speak... someone grabbed his arm and lifted it high, making it seem higher than the others.

Then, the people who caught Su Ping squeezed into the crowd and sent Su Ping to the table without stopping.

The moment he was put down, Su Ping looked back and saw clearly that the person who sent him down was a strong man in a short shirt.

His clothes were disheveled at the moment, and he looked straight at Li Zide and said respectfully, "Master, I have brought the person here."

"Okay." Li Zide waved his hand, took a step forward, squatted beside Su Ping, and asked with concern, "How is the Grand Secretary? Do you need to prepare anything?"

"Are you thirsty? I asked them to bring a pot of wine. Oh no, Master Su can't drink yet, so let's bring tea. Shopkeeper, bring the best tea! Bring a chair over, don't tire our master out!"

Su Ping looked at Li Zide's behavior, as if thinking about something. The three fellow students looked at him with smiles on their faces, as if they found this scene quite funny.

The intellectuals who were watching, whether they supported or opposed, all widened their eyes, because Li Shao, who was well-known in the playboy world, seemed to be very respectful to this half-grown child.

Such an earth-shattering scene shocked them, and at the same time they were deeply puzzled. Could it be that Su Ping's background was actually very powerful?

"Hiss, could it be that Su Ping is a descendant of some big family who is training outside?"

"The surname Su... is not impossible."

"You're overthinking it. If he really had a strong background, how could Young Master Li have dared to hold a struggle session with such fanfare last year? And then ended it in such an unclear way?"

"That's right, what happened last year?"

Countless questions and shocks filled the hearts of every onlooker. They all had some intention of retreating to a certain extent. After all, if he was really a child of a big family, they might not even know how he died.

The calmest person in the restaurant, apart from the three senior students standing at the table who knew Su Ping's family background, was Liu Hui who was smiling in the distance.

These two places can be said to be the only quiet places left amidst the hustle and bustle of the restaurant. Otherwise, it is all chaos and uncertainty.

A similar look also appeared on the faces of the five opponents standing at the table. They were all a little hesitant, not knowing whether to persist or to turn against them.

But there was one person who recovered first, and that was Liu Yucong.

Apart from helping someone sneak into a private school, he did have some real talent, but compared to the eight-year-old Su Ping, he seemed a bit mediocre.

Liu Yucong looked at Su Ping with a hint of contempt in his eyes, but others could not see it. They just thought that this man was a little strange, why was he staring at a child?

"Hmm?" Su Ping noticed it instantly and met Liu Yucong's gaze. His eyes were as calm as water, as if he didn't take the other person seriously.

This kind of indifference is more unbearable than contempt and disdain, especially for Liu Yucong, who attaches great importance to the eyes and evaluations of others.

Now being stared at by Su Ping, he felt as if his clothes had been ripped off in public and he had been severely humiliated. He felt hot inside and out, and couldn't calm down.

"Master Su, I never thought I would see you today. I just thought you would do the same as last year and try to survive!"

Liu Yucong was openly cursing people. This was more powerful, more offensive, and more difficult to end than all the indirect attacks just now.

If one's mind is not calm, one's sense of propriety will be disturbed. Under normal circumstances, Liu Yucong would have endured it, but now he is in the spotlight and facing a person he considers his enemy, so of course he cannot endure it as usual.

Su Ping looked back at his three senior classmates without changing his expression. They all smiled, and when they saw the younger brother coming, they nodded slightly.

Then Su Ping also nodded, and when he looked at Liu Yucong again, a look of vicissitudes of life appeared on his young face. This scene, which should not have happened, did not seem abrupt.

His pure eyes were no longer gentle, but became sharp, like a knife or a sword, which made people feel frightened when they looked at them.

Even Liu Yucong, who was extremely angry, became dazed and confused when he looked at him. Why should he... why should he fight him? Why?

While Liu Yucong was lost in confusion, Su Ping spoke in a childish voice that was full of energy.

"Wang Rui, you were disrespectful to me when we were in private school, and now that you have been expelled from school and kicked out, you have become even more arrogant. You even dared to use such words. If I give you a few more years, you will not even care about the Seven Stars!"

"You, what nonsense are you talking about!" Liu Yucong was anxious, but he tried his best to suppress it. He knew that this was not the time to explode, otherwise all his efforts would be wasted.

It was a pity that he had just spoken first, so whatever Su Ping said back would seem reasonable. Thinking of this, Liu Yucong felt a little regretful.

This regret did not last long before it was replaced by anger and shame, because every word and sentence of what Su Ping said next pierced his heart and stabbed his spine.

"When did I say nonsense? Isn't your name Wang Rui? If your name is not Wang Rui, why did you give yourself this name in the first place? Did you feel that your real name was not good enough, or did you change your name to curry favor with the rich and powerful?"

Liu Yucong gritted his teeth and opened his mouth to refute, but Su Ping did not give him the chance and continued talking. Even if he forced a rebuttal, the other party could not match him in terms of voice and momentum.

"If you changed your name to curry favor with a rich and powerful man, then you have lost the integrity of a scholar. If you are ashamed of your real name, then you are disrespectful to your parents. They have raised you for many years, but you dare not even say your name. It is really shameful and hateful!"

"If you did it to cheat, then it's rude and immoral. If you just said the name to humiliate me, then it's a violation of your authority and disrespect for your fellow students!"

"It is even more disrespectful to the Master, to the sage books you read, and to the heavens, the earth, and all the people! Tell me, what fault did you commit?"

"I..." Faced with the words that required him to answer that he was wrong, Liu Yucong knew that he must not give a direct answer, otherwise he would fall into a trap and fall into a situation where the other party had an advantage.

The way to prevent this kind of thing is to break out. Liu Yucong confirmed this idea in his heart and immediately said lightly, "I didn't make any of the mistakes above."

Su Ping closed his eyes slightly, sneering in his heart, but his face was still serious and questioning. He scolded: "If you didn't make the above mistakes, then you didn't make other mistakes?"

"The Master once said, 'I examine myself three times a day.' Even if there are things I haven't said, if you have made mistakes, you should say them out loud, and don't hide them."

"This principle was taught in the private school. Although you have been expelled from the school, you have at least stayed in the private school for a while. Could it be that you have forgotten even the teacher's teachings?!"

"As a person, you should never forget your roots. Even if you are no longer Master's student, as a Liyue person, shouldn't you learn this philosophy and use it as a guideline for life?"

Su Ping's words were so sharp that they almost revealed all the immoral things Liu Yucong had done, as well as the things that were not fair to the public.

This almost made Liu Yucong explode on the spot and go crazy, but due to the plan in his mind, he still endured it and said in a gentle voice: "Oh? Where did you get that from? But I also want to ask Master Su, is it too aggressive to keep insisting that I am guilty?"

"Being like this is not in line with Confucius' principles and rules. Could it be that the scholar wants to disregard the reputation of his teacher for his own selfish desires?"

Su Ping did not hesitate and said directly: "Is it so difficult to say that you are guilty? If it weren't for the fact that so many people are gathered here and I don't want to taint others' eyes and ears, and if I hadn't given you some face, do you really think you can stand here until now!"

"Besides, what if I am aggressive? What if I insist on my words? I have not changed my name, I have behaved uprightly, and I have not slandered or humiliated others. Why can't I do this?"

"Should the party who is in the right consider the feelings of the abuser and pity him? Do I need to forgive him even though I am in the right?"

"If this is true, I think there is no need to hold today's debate. If it is unclear, how can we debate? What is the point of winning or losing the debate?"

Liu Yucong was shocked by these words. After being stunned for a moment, he subconsciously replied, "Of course, if I win, I will become famous."

Su Ping saw this and took advantage of the situation to attack, saying, "The debate was held for this purpose. It was said to be about poetry, but in fact it was just a deal. Even if you win, you will still be manipulated by others."

"If you want the world to be different, you must establish the right aspirations and promote righteousness! Let me ask you one last question: how do you repay kindness when you repay evil with kindness?!"
