Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army

Until this moment, these people looked at themselves imprisoned, looked at each other, and saw the fear on each other's faces.

Perhaps the men they criticized in the past had never made such a counterattack, so they became more and more arrogant, until now they really hit a wall, and they didn't know how to solve it.

And perhaps even more, they cannot or cannot solve the problem, because the other party is Li Zide and the gigantic Li family, an existence they absolutely cannot afford to offend.

If they could, they would definitely slap their past selves a few times and scold them harshly, but unfortunately this is unrealistic.

In order to leave safely, they finally handed over all the Mora they had on them, not daring to leave any out, because they were really afraid of having everything removed on the spot and being exposed to everyone.

If that happened, they would be too ashamed to face anyone. As for Li Zide being imprisoned, they never thought about it because it was not important to them.

Li Zide looked at the thousands of Moras that the guards had brought over, and then glanced at the men and said, "Are you sure there's nothing left?"

These people shook their heads repeatedly and dared not even speak, for fear that they would offend the other party if they were not careful, which would have serious consequences.

"Okay, you guys go now. Be more careful with your words in the future. If the person you meet is not me but someone else, you won't be able to stand now."

Li Zide waved his hand and stopped looking at them. He turned to look at Su Ping who was thinking about something beside him, and said with a kind smile: "Mr. Su, I'm sorry to have disturbed you."

"It's okay, it's not that serious." Su Ping smiled back. The other party was obviously not a real playboy, so he could naturally make friends with him.

But even if the other party did not behave in this way, Su Ping would still make friends with this person based on his previous attitude and treatment, regardless of anything else, just for Mora.

Li Zide looked at Li Qian who was still being carried. The smile on his face disappeared a lot, and his anger almost dissipated. His eyes were calm, as if the person he saw was just an ordinary stranger.

After a moment of hesitation, Li Zide spoke slowly, "Li Qian, there is nothing much to say between you and me. You don't have to come looking for me again. I'm not as generous as you think."

Li Qian's face was full of bitterness. Her pale face no longer had any appeal. She seemed to be confessing, and her voice was trembling as she said, "I...I really know I was wrong. Master, please help me for the sake of what happened in the past!"

"Wouldn't it have been better if you had said this earlier?" Li Zide smiled bitterly, took a few steps forward, and after some hesitation, he reached out and gently touched her pale face, then quickly withdrew his hand as if it was hot.

Then, Li Zide turned around and walked towards the door of the mansion with Su Ping. Before entering, he stopped.

"Actually, at that time, I didn't really want to sign the contract with you, if... it wasn't your request."

Li Zide did not look back. After he finished speaking, he took Su Ping through the gate, smiled, and introduced the mansion.

Outside the gate, Li Qian, who had been put down by the big man, slumped on the ground. What Li Zide had just said reached her ears, making her feel complicated and indescribable.

After a long time, when there were fewer pedestrians on the street, Li Qian finally stood up from his daze and picked up a bag of Mora beside him. This bag was enough for him and his mother to survive for at least ten days.

If we can save some money, we can even get a few more days. Li Qian felt the sediment in her hands and looked back at the gate with the words "Li Mansion" hanging on it.

Her eyes were anxious, as if she could see through the closed door and see what was inside, because this was also where she had lived, and perhaps... this was the best time of her life since she was born.

Thinking back to three years ago, she came to the Li Mansion to sell herself because of her seriously ill mother. However, at that time, what she wanted to sign was not a slave contract, but a concubine contract.

Perhaps she was born lazy, or perhaps she felt that Mora, as a slave, was not capable enough to treat her mother. In any case, this was what she thought at the time.

Originally this was impossible. After all, the Li family was a wealthy family, and if they wanted to take a concubine, they would choose one who was of equal status. How could they possibly take a commoner like her?

But when she knelt in the mansion every day, shouting "Young Master Li" and begging him to take her family situation into consideration and let her become his concubine, the Young Master Li finally agreed after three months.

What a huge change it would be for a poor girl from a poor family to have her net worth doubled and to possess something that many people could never obtain in their entire lives.

It took her several months to adapt. During this period, her mother's illness was effectively treated, and after recovery, she gained a lot of weight.

This was naturally something that made her happy, but afterwards, she might have been a little too complacent and got carried away.

She began to be jealous and could not bear to see other concubines being intimate with Li Zide. Every time she saw it, she felt extremely angry, as if the other party had betrayed her.

This jealousy continued until last year and turned into resentment. The ideas in her mind were also subtly changed. Since Li Zide could have multiple concubines, why couldn't she have other lovers?

So, after the seeds were planted, they began to sprout, and took deep roots over time, until they broke out completely during the Lantern Festival, a festival for family reunions.

On that night, there was one less person at the Li family's New Year's Eve dinner table, and there was also a person who usually didn't drink much, but was lying on the table and talking drunkenly. However, the former didn't know this at the time.

Even after running away, Li Qian was still thinking about her future life, but unfortunately, reality gave her only heaviness.

Not only did the actor get her, but shortly afterwards, he took all the money and left, leaving Li Qian alone outside Liyue Harbor.

Later, Li Qian took her mother away despite being looked down upon by many people in the Li family, and barely made ends meet relying on her, who seemed like a burden, and her mother, who was still able to work.

Until their income was not enough to cover their expenses and their mother was so hungry that she had no choice but to come back a second time to beg for mercy. That time, she also took away a similar amount of Mora that she had in her hands at that time.

It was only a little over a month since this incident, and she didn't know how to survive in the future, but she was determined that she would never go back to this again.

Looking at the closed door, Li Qian knelt down and kowtowed three times, then turned and left.

The woman eventually left. Three years ago, she came to save her mother and signed the contract. Three years later, she came again to save her mother and knelt down to beg.

In the three years, tremendous changes have taken place, and the complexity involved is hard for outsiders to imagine and understand, beneath the surface.

In Li's mansion, Li Zide took Su Ping for a stroll, and finally arrived at a pavilion to admire the lotus in the pond.

As for everything that happened outside, Li Zide did not mention it again. He held a cup of ginseng tea in his hand and drank it leisurely with a calm expression, as if what had just happened had never happened.

In front of Su Ping was a cup of ginseng tea and a few plates of exquisite snacks, the price of which could be gauged at a glance.

The surrounding environment is also very good. It is quiet but lively. It doesn't feel like a deserted place. Obviously, this arrangement is not done casually.

After a moment, Li Zide put down the cup in his hand and said slowly: "Mr. Su, is our environment okay? How does it compare to the private school?"

Su Ping held his chin with one hand, stared at the surroundings, then looked at Li Zide and said seriously: "There are fewer reading sounds than in the private school."

"Ah?" Li Zide was stunned. Looking at his serious expression, he suddenly smiled and said, "This is indeed incomparable. It is incomparable."

There was no pretense in that smile; it came from his heart. This was what he believed in, the principle of being honest in dealing with people. Whoever treated him with sincerity, he would return the favor with sincerity.

Of course, if someone scolded him and slandered him, the result would be different. The person mentioned above was a living example.

"Mr. Su, I have just given the order to hold a banquet to welcome you!" Li Zide leaned his head against a vermilion column.

Su Ping's eyes flickered, and he said slowly: "Then everyone must be busy now. Even if I want to leave, the party has to continue, right?"

"Yes, Master Su is right. If this banquet is not held, all the preparations will be wasted. Master Su is not the kind of person who would let other people's kindness go to waste, right?" Li Zide joked.

"Then I will respectfully obey your command." Su Ping had no intention of refusing, so he naturally agreed.

Later, Su Ping, surrounded by a variety of delicacies, moved his chopsticks slowly, because after all, he was in someone else's house, and even if it was just the two of them, he had to control himself.

Li Zide seemed a little bored, perhaps because he had eaten too much in the past, so he had no interest in these things, so he kept drinking.

Of course Su Ping still couldn't drink alcohol, so he used tea instead of wine to toast Li Zide. After a while, the two of them became a little more familiar with each other.

The not-so-lively banquet ended happily with the two of them drinking together. Afterwards, Su Ping walked out of the Li Mansion and Li Zide saw him off at the door.

There was another person standing behind Li Zide. It was a woman who was also his concubine. If Su Ping walked back at this moment, he would be able to find that this woman was also one of the people in the teahouse last year.

When Li Zide turned to look at her, the woman smiled and said, "Master, is this child really so knowledgeable? Is he worthy of your personal reception?"

"Yes." Li Zide nodded, and did not talk too much about Su Ping, but asked: "She left?"

"Yes, she was very decisive when she left, and she didn't seem to have any attachment to the young master at all. But I think she is just pretending to be noble. It won't be long before she comes back to ask for money!"

"Oh, forget it, let's not talk about her. There's no need to get angry. Even if there happens again... I won't help you again." Li Zide sighed.

The woman looked at him, and frowned as she saw the bitterness on his face, "Master, it's not worth it to be sad for her. Can you please stop doing this? It hurts me to see this!"

Li Zide smiled, shook his head, and said, "It's just a farewell to the past. There will be no more in the future."

"That's good." The woman leaned her head against him, very dependent, and said softly, "What are you going to do with that contract, young master?"

"Where is the contract for being a concubine? She just made it herself. How can you forget about it?"

"What are you going to do with the stolen gold and silver jewelry, young master?"

"Of course we have to track down that actor. Li Qian is penniless now, and she was deceived... Anyway, we are even now."

After a moment of silence, the woman sighed, "She even changed her surname to Li. How can she be considered a member of the Li family?"

"Indeed, compared to you who manages the house in an orderly manner, it's far behind!"

As he spoke, Li Zide put his hand behind the woman's head and rubbed it gently, then he took her and turned to walk into the house.
