Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army

What a huge change a person can undergo in one year. Perhaps the woman in front of Su Ping is a living example.

A year ago, this woman had a beautiful appearance. Even if she wasn't stunning, she was a healthy person. It was hard to associate her with her haggard and emaciated appearance now.

As for clothes, she was not wearing silk or satin a year ago, but that was better than the shabby outfit of a piece of rag draped over her body now.

Such a big change, coupled with the conversation between her and Li Zide just now, the cause of the dispute, can't help but make people think about it.

"Li Qian." Li Zide said the woman's name, and his heart ached. He said, "During the Lantern Festival, you ran away with that opera singer and took away a lot of gold and silver jewelry I gave you. Now you're back. Did you squander all of it?"

"Yes... He stole everything, causing my mother and I to go hungry every day and be unable to buy anything. Master, I really know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong!" Li Qian's voice was hoarse and sounded extremely mournful.

Li Zide was unmoved, and continued, "You have to pay for the sins you committed. Isn't that the oath you made so solemnly in the beginning?"

"Didn't you say that after you took the gold and silver, you and your lover would live happily together, and even if something bad happened in the future, you would never repent and never look back?"

"Li Qian, what are you doing now? You are begging me, begging for my forgiveness, hoping that I can have mercy on you, hoping that I can help you for the sake of what happened in the past, right?"

Li Qian nodded, smiled bitterly, and said, "Master, are you finally willing to save me? Have you finally changed your mind?"

"You think too much!"

Li Zide interrupted her with a loud shout, which also woke up the onlookers. They all lowered their heads and no one said another word.

"Li Qian, what were you doing before? I raised you for three years, how come someone just took you away during a holiday?" Li Zide continued.

"You saw that I, Li Zide, had more than one concubine, and you got jealous, so you took my family's money and ran off with a wild man outside!"

"Or do you think this is how it should be, that you can use my family's money to support your man outside with peace of mind?"

"Li Qian, tell me, what do you think?!"

Li Qian's body trembled, and blood oozed from her tightly bitten lower lip. Her already pale face was even more bloodless at this moment, as if she had lost her life, which was a bit creepy.

By this time, several of the onlookers had quietly retreated, the arrogance they had when they were denouncing the protesters gone, and those who remained looked pale.

Among all the people at this time and place, the only one who was not angry, ashamed, or afraid was Su Ping.

Because he somewhat understood the connection between the two people. Li Qian met an actor during the Lantern Festival, and they must have had a very pleasant conversation and then eloped.

A person whom I had raised for three years ran off with someone else in the blink of an eye, and took away the money and valuables that I had given him. Now he has come back shamelessly. If this happened to anyone else, who would be able to accept it?

I guess it's impossible without shedding a layer of skin.

Su Ping was also a little surprised, because Li Zide's emotions were relatively well controlled. At least he did not directly start fighting or order his servants to fight, but just stopped the man.

This behavior, which was obviously inconsistent with that of a dandy, raised Su Ping's impression of him to a higher level and made him a little wary.

"You can't explain it, right? Haha..." Li Zide smiled bitterly. There was sorrow and pain in his heart. Although not too much, it was definitely there.

Li Qian gritted her teeth and opened her mouth several times to speak, but no words came out. She didn't know whether she was shocked or she really realized her mistake.

But she didn't speak, and some of the onlookers couldn't stand it anymore, and said anxiously: "Sister, just tell me, don't be afraid, just tell the truth!"

"Yes, tell the truth, it's okay, you just made a mistake that every woman would make, and he married more than one person, so what are you afraid of!"

These words not only stunned Su Ping, but also the onlookers standing with them. They were all startled, and then quickly stepped back a few steps to distance themselves from them.

Li Zide frowned, the anger that had subsided in his eyes rose again, stronger and more intense than the last time.

"What does it have to do with you? Do you really need to interfere in what's going on between her and me?"

"Oh my, why are you so anxious? We are just telling the truth. You have married so many women, so why don't you allow them to find others?"

"That's right, where is the fairness and justice?"

"She just took your money and went to live with someone else. You think she has a lot of money, but you are so stingy!"

"No one wants a stingy man. You have such a bad temper, you must be a domestic violence man. Bah, domestic violence men are not men!"

"It is because of men like you in Liyue that we women have always been treated unfairly. Sooner or later, you will be overthrown!"

Seeing Li Zide's angry expression, the onlookers who were separated from him also got hot-headed and started cursing back without thinking.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, they would not dare to do this even in the name of supporting the disadvantaged groups. However, it seems that once men and women are involved, they will jump around and bite people like anxious rabbits.

Li Zide thought that what they said made some sense, but the words always seemed weird when they came out of their mouths, and he laughed angrily. This was the second time he was laughed out of anger today, and it happened in the same place and because of the same thing.

"The person I raised ran away, and I can't say a few words to her. Should I be grateful to her? If you are all so tolerant, why do you keep targeting me?"

"Besides, what if I have a rich family? Should my family's wealth be given to others? Should it be taken away by someone who eloped with a strange man?"

"If this is true, then the world will be in chaos!"

Li Zide looked at those people, his eyes were bloodshot, and every word he spoke was a loud roar, shocking everyone and spreading across half the street.

What he said was indeed correct. Should his family give away their wealth? Li Zide deserved to be cuckolded. Couldn't he say a few words afterwards?

When ordinary people see such things, they may not be angry, but they may just think that the woman is ungrateful or heartless, and there will be no problem with that.

However, those who feel sorry for Li Qianming do not think so. In their opinion, as long as they think something is wrong, it is definitely wrong even if the whole world thinks it is right.

"How can you be sure that she eloped? Maybe it's your fault, otherwise why would she need to find someone else to get some fresh air?"

"You should look for problems in yourself instead of thinking about why you raised someone for three years and then he just left like that? It's because you are useless!"

Li Zide's eyes narrowed, and his cold eyes were as deep as an ancient well without ripples. If anyone saw him, they would probably think he was a bad guy with no temper.

But this is exactly how he looks when he is the most angry. When people are extremely furious, they will not show any expression because they can no longer control themselves.

As far as Li Zide himself was concerned, he had never suffered such injustice since he was a child. Especially in this matter, he was obviously the one who suffered the greatest loss. Could it be that these people were brainless and couldn't see it?

But he didn't want to care whether these people were stupid or not. Since they dared to speak, they would have to pay the corresponding price, otherwise, his position as the young master of the Li family would be in vain.

"Since you are so confident in helping her, I believe you are in the same boat. I will bring some people to your house one day and help you!"

"I don't often look for my own problems, but this time you guys reminded me that I do have some problems. Thanks to you guys, I feel that I should be tougher on this matter, otherwise people will think I'm easy to bully!"

"Just like now, if I came up and shouted for war and killing, how many of you would dare to say anything? I'm afraid you would all run away, haha...you are all bullies who only fear the strong and bully the weak!"

Li Zide smiled, which was not like the breeze of spring, but rather like the falling leaves of autumn, with a solemn and murderous feeling in the bleakness.

When Li Qian saw him smile, her face turned pale and she lowered her head deeply. Even her breathing slowed down a lot, as if she was very scared.

Because she had been with Li Zide for three years, she was used to seeing this smile, which was usually the look on his face when he was being arrogant or furious.

In her impression, anyone who comes into contact with this smile will lose all their money at best, or need to stay in bed for months to recover from their injuries at worst.

Either of these two options is not a consequence that Li Qian can bear today.

She regretted it, but it was no use. She couldn't turn back time and couldn't make up for it.

As she lowered her head, Li Zide turned to face those people, there were only the last few left, the rest had left the crowd far away, and spoke with a smile.

"I have decided to borrow some money from you guys... and forget about the rest."

Li Zide's voice was not loud, as if he was telling a story, but when it fell into the ears of those people, they were shocked all over and wanted to run away immediately.

But it was obviously too late at this moment. The guards holding long sticks surrounded them. The bodies of more than ten big men occupied their vision in the blink of an eye. They could not be seen from the outside.

"I advise you to hand it over and don't keep it to yourself, otherwise it might not look good in public."

Li Zide's voice sounded again. This was his final warning. If these people dared to say anything inappropriate again, it would not be such a simple matter.
