In response to their greetings.
Su Han naturally didn't dare to be negligent and quickly invited them into the shop, saying, "The interior is a bit simple, please forgive me."
Only after entering did Su Han realize that he had just moved in and there was no tea or table. This was a bit awkward. Before he could say anything, the servants following Ning Guang set everything up.
From pots and pans to tables, chairs, and beds, they even provided socks.
This was the first time Su Han had received such meticulous care, and he was still a little unaccustomed to it. Most importantly, after delivering the items, those people did not leave, but stood in front of him.
Su Han asked in confusion, "Ningguang, what's going on?"
"Heh, this is an opening gift for you, sir. We've just started out, so there are bound to be a lot of miscellaneous tasks. These people are all from Qunyu Pavilion, and they are very capable. Their family backgrounds and loyalty have already been tested. If you mind, sir, I can let them go back."
Ningguang's answer made Su Han understand why she could be so incredibly wealthy. Just look at her thoughtfulness; who wouldn't be moved?
As for whether he would mind the talent the other party brought, Su Han certainly wouldn't mind, because Ningguang was already the richest person in Liyue, and with her high position and power, why would she care about his little business?
If Su Han were to personally select the people, it would take an unknown amount of effort, and there would be some fun if spies from the Fools were mixed in.
“I’m glad Mr. Su is happy!” Ningguang smiled gently when she saw that he didn’t refuse, then turned to the group and said, “From today onwards, you are Mr. Su’s people. Do whatever he tells you to do; you don’t need to report to me.”
"Yes, please give your instructions, Mr. Su!"
Seeing everyone looking at him, Su Han immediately said to Xu Er, who was still dumbfounded, "What are you all standing there for? Go arrange for someone to pick up the goods, and while you're at it, give them a shout-out to the new store for its grand opening!"
"Yes, boss."
As an honest and simple boy, Xu Er had never seen such a grand scene before. It took him a while to react, and he even almost tripped over the threshold when he went out because he was distracted.
Seeing this, Su Han couldn't help but shake his head. There was a difference between professionally trained employees and ordinary employees; at least their mental qualities were different.
The matter concerning the shop has come to an end.
The most important thing to discuss next is what we'll be discussing next.
"Mr. Su Han, what are your thoughts on Liyue today?"
Ningguang took a sip of tea, her gaze fixed intently on him. Even immortals were praising him, so he must have a different opinion.
Although she sat in the Jade Pavilion and received a large amount of intelligence every day, there were always oversights.
Upon seeing Ningguang address me as "sir," Su Han immediately smiled and said, "No need to call me 'sir,' just call me Su Han. As for my opinion, I can only say that Liyue is currently too complacent and is already riddled with problems."
"It's not as serious as you make it out to be! You're exaggerating."
Ke Qing was very dissatisfied with Su Han's evaluation and immediately stood up.
You should know that the Seven Stars of Liyue work hard every day, and the Thousand Rock Army is the most responsible soldier in the Seven Kingdoms. How dare Su Han say that such a united and prosperous country is riddled with problems?
It’s so outrageous!
"Ke Qing! Calm down, let's hear Su Han's opinion first."
Seeing her friends getting emotional, Ningguang immediately stopped them, as they needed her help.
The saying goes, "Those involved are often blinded by their own power." Even those constantly in the center of power can sometimes be blinded by intelligence!

Chapter 23 The Unrestricted Talisman can unleash demon gods; you probably don't know...
You know, right?
Ke Qing calmed down a bit after hearing this, but her gaze towards Su Han remained icy. "Fine, I'd like to see what he has to say. Don't think that just because he has the bloodline of a celestial beast, he can judge others with impunity!"
Keqing was genuinely angry this time. All the hard work she and the other members of the Liyue Seven Stars had put in day and night had been completely negated. Who wouldn't be angry in her situation?
If Su Han can't give a coherent explanation, then let whoever wants to communicate with her about this so-called bridge between immortals and humans do so; she'll simply not keep up.
What does "too comfortable" mean?
What does "riddled with holes" mean?
Keqing really couldn't agree with that, at least within the Teyvat world, Liyue was the most economically prosperous.
Seeing Master Ke's agitated state, Su Han took a sip of the freshly brewed tea and said, "I'm not judging you. I'm just saying that Liyue Harbor is too complacent these days. Five hundred years ago, in the Battle of the Rock Abyss, the Thousand Rock Army was still able to resist the filth and protect Liyue from fire and water."
"But now, please forgive me for not seeing their progress. Putting that aside for now, I ask you, how much intelligence does Ningguang have about the three countries of Inazuma, Mondstadt, and Sumeru?"
Su Han first described the former strength of the Thousand Rock Army, then changed the subject to the current strength of the Thousand Rock Army, and finally revealed the real killer move: you can not focus on training soldiers, but if intelligence is lagging behind, that will be a big problem.
This question made Ningguang frown. She looked at the leisurely shop owner Su in front of her, her heart full of doubt. Why would he ask about things abroad?
Ningguang recalled the known information and slowly explained: "As far as I know, it is difficult for Inazuma to send information due to the isolation order. I only know that this is General Raiden's intention."
As for Mondstadt, it seems there's been a dragon plague, which I've heard has caused panic. Meanwhile, Mount Sumeru hasn't changed much for now, so what do you mean?
Ningguang has revealed all the information, and it seems there are no flaws. So what exactly is the other party trying to do?
Upon hearing this, Su Han realized that this wealthy woman was completely unaware of the Fools' conspiracy. He sneered, "The meaning is simple: all countries have experienced changes in the last two years. Is this really just a coincidence?"
Secondly, I was attacked by the Fatui in the wilderness yesterday. According to their confession, an Enforcer arrived in Liyue Harbor. His name is Tartaglia, codenamed Childe. The first thing he did upon arrival was to investigate the Unbound Talisman.
By the way, do you guys know anything about the "Unfettered Talisman"?
Su Han looked at them with a smile. If they still didn't understand after being reminded to this extent, then he would be truly disappointed.
Keqing pondered for a moment upon hearing this, and then said, "The Talisman of No Taboos, I have some recollection of that. I've seen some information about it in the Jade Pavilion. It's said to have been created by the Emperor and bestowed upon humans to seek help from immortals in times of crisis. But what do the Fools want with this? Ningguang, do you know?"
Facing the gaze from her friend, Ningguang shook her head and said, "No, I know as much as you do. My understanding of the 'Treasury of No Taboos' is limited to this. I only know that the Emperor has taken back some of it, and there is still a little left among the common people."
"Su Han, stop playing coy and just tell us what you know. We admit that Liyue's intelligence system does have problems."
Seeing Ningguang's surrender, Su Han shook his head and said, "No, I want to ask Miss Keqing, do you still think you've worked hard? You keep saying: 'As human beings, we should have human pride.' But my question now involves the safety of Liyue, right? Yet you know nothing about it! The things the Seven Stars of Liyue should do shouldn't be limited to what humans can do, like building houses or measuring foundations—things that ordinary people can verify."
Because anyone can do these things. What you really need to do is to have a true grasp of the country and an understanding of the international situation. Am I right?
Ke Qing's expression was rather unpleasant at this moment, but she had to admit that Su Han's words were spot on. She usually insisted on doing things herself, but upon closer reflection, as one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, she could have delegated these matters to others.
"Yes, I admit I have these problems. Please continue talking about the unrestricted nature of the talisman."
Seeing that Ke Qing had also given in, Su Han nodded in satisfaction. He sighed softly and said, "Actually, I didn't say all this to mock you on purpose. It's just that the topic we're about to discuss is quite heavy, so I hope you listen carefully."
The "Unfettered Talisman" can not only access immortals, but if its power is sufficient, it can also unleash ancient malice. Judging from your eyes, you should be able to guess what I'm trying to say.
"If we have enough power, through the Unfettered Talisman, we could even unleash the ancient demon god suppressed by the Rock King Emperor. You didn't expect that, did you?"
Su Han's words were like a thunderclap, resounding in Ke Qing and Ning Guang's minds.
"Are you kidding me? It's just a talisman. How could it possibly unleash a demon?"
Ke Qing stood up to refute, but because she had touched upon the Demon God, she began to stutter.
“I’m sorry,” Su Han shook his head gently. “What’s the point of deceiving you? By the way, the house of the True Monarch of Ge Chenlang City is right next door. If you don’t believe me, you can go and ask him. I think real immortals all know the use of these talismans. You can even ask other immortals.”
Ke Qing was about to say that she would go right away when an old voice came from outside.
"No need to trouble those old friends. I'll tell you, this old woman. These talismans can indeed break some of the Emperor's seals, but only if the power is sufficient."
To everyone's surprise, Granny Ping overheard their conversation. However, with the immortal's confirmation, there was no doubt about it.
Ningguang quickly stood up and respectfully asked the window, "May I ask, Immortal, who possesses these Talismans of No Taboos?"
"Hehe, it's been too long, this old woman doesn't know either. Young people should handle these matters."
In the courtyard next door, Grandma Ping was tending to the flowers and plants.
Yan Fei, standing beside her, tilted her head and asked, "Grandma, who are you talking to? Does someone want to visit other immortals?"
"It's Su Han. This child, although he's only been in Liyue for a short time, has incredibly sharp senses. No wonder the Emperor likes him."
Grandma Ping's face was full of smiles. With such a sharp-minded person around, these immortals would have a much easier time.
inside the room.
With the support of the immortals, Keqing and Ningguang were completely impressed by Su Han.
Ke Qing, in particular, thought that her conversation with Su Han would at most involve learning how to worship immortals. She never expected that this meeting would make her realize her own shortcomings.
However, having made a mistake, Keqing naturally wouldn't run away from it. She stood up, walked to Su Han, bowed slightly, and said, "I'm sorry, I was narrow-minded. If my stubbornness has caused suffering for the people of Liyue, I will feel incredibly guilty."
"No, no, I'm just stating the current situation in Liyue from an outsider's perspective."
Su Han waved his hand repeatedly. He was only responsible for pointing out the problems. As for how to develop the intelligence organization, that would have to rely on Ningguang and Keqing.
Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, Ningguang said, "Su Han, there's no need to be modest. If it weren't for your reminder, how would we have known about the current crisis in Liyue? How about this: if you have any questions or need help in the future, you can come to me with my token, or I can have Yujingtai notify you."
As she spoke, Ningguang took out a golden seal from her bosom and handed it to him.
The words "Tianquan" are engraved on it.
This is something that only Ningguang's confidants can obtain. Currently, there are only three in the entire Liyue, and they are held by Ningguang's three secretaries.
The one in Su Han's hand was the fourth one. He took it and played with it for a while, and then felt a cool and delicate fragrance waft into his nose. He sniffed it and said, "A glass lily?"
Ningguang blushed upon hearing this.

Chapter 24 Target: Rock Tea House! If you won't do it, plenty of others will.
Ke Qing crossed her arms and said sarcastically, "Oh, you have a really good nose. Want to smell me?"
You should know that Ningguang has never given her personal items to a man before, and Su Han is the first one to do so.
But what he did was take advantage of others and then flirt with them; he was really wicked.
Seeing the situation was turning sour, Su Han instantly felt embarrassed. He hadn't meant to, after all. To avoid further awkwardness, he immediately changed the subject: "Ahem... I just thought the smell was a little familiar, nothing more. Okay, let's talk about something serious, something about Liyue."
Seeing that he was talking about serious matters, the two of them couldn't help but listen attentively.
In fact, Su Han's suggestion was very simple: to specifically assign a group of people to keep an eye on the Fools.
"Remember, don't stare at them too closely; just keep track of their movements. At the same time, set up fixed sentries throughout the city. Let them do business or other jobs on weekdays. This way, you can not only avoid being seen but also gather a lot of intelligence!"
"Hmm, that's easy. I'll go back and give the instructions; there's no need to worry about manpower. But... I have a question: shouldn't we be concerned about the 'Unrestricted Talisman'?"
Ningguang's biggest concern right now is undoubtedly the Unrestricted Talisman.
This thing is far too dangerous. If the Fools were to get their hands on it, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Su Han nodded and said, "Don't rush. As far as I know, there's only one person in the city who possesses the 'Treasury of No Taboos,' and the Fools are probably targeting him soon. By the way, he lives very close to us."
