"Yes, really, why doesn't Lord Wind God just expel this family?"
"Expel them? That's too lenient on them. If you ask me, they should all be hanged."
Yura, her face ashen, walked over and said, "We don't want the vegetables anymore, Jiang Ning, let's go."
Jiang Ning shook his head: "In Liyue, as long as you set up a stall, there's no reason not to sell... unless you made it clear from the beginning that this thing wasn't for sale, and I gave you the equivalent amount of Mora, so this thing is mine."
"Whether it's Liyue or Mondstadt, the only rule is that forced sales with unequal prices are not allowed. There's no rule that if I pay an equivalent amount of Mora, it's considered a prohibited forced sale."
The laws of Teyvat have many loopholes compared to the laws of his homeland. Jiang Ning is now just playing word games.
"You, hmph, I told you, I'm not selling!"
The vendor looked disgusted and immediately reached out to snatch the vegetables from his hand.
“You’re trying to take what belongs to me by force, that’s robbery, so…”
Jiang Ning made a slight move, and before the vendor could react, he was stomped under Jiang Ning's foot, facing the ground.
"You dare hit someone! Help! The Lawrence family is hitting someone!" the vendor shouted. "Hey you, aren't you from the Knights of Favonius? Aren't you going to get involved in this assault?"
Amber's face turned bright red with anger: "You! How are you going to turn the tables on me like this?!"
It was clearly you who deliberately made things difficult for us first.
Jiang Ning said, "This was self-defense, and besides, I said I hate strangers touching me."
The residents of Qingquan Town nearby also began to criticize Jiang Ning and his group.
Things like the Lawrence family having wolfish ambitions, colluding with outsiders, and the Knights of Favonius being inactive.
They said some very unpleasant things.
Some even rolled up their sleeves, ready to come up and teach them a lesson.
Jiang Ning still found it hard to accept.
No, according to Amber, there are quite a few people here who were saved by Yura, right?
Is this the attitude you're talking about?
Jiang Ning's gaze gradually turned cold. Besides accompanying Amber, he had another reason: he genuinely had something he needed to help Huixin deliver to Qingquan Town...
However, Jiangning now has a very poor impression of Qingquan Town.
The lineage of Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun, aside from anything else, is fundamentally biased towards protecting its own.
That's how it is in Liyue Harbor. If Jiang Ning is bullied, Shen He will step in. If Shen He can't handle it, Gan Yu will step in.
If all else fails... Gan Yu said at the time that her master wouldn't stand idly by.
So Jiang Ning also developed this good habit: his friends, Amber, and Yura who saved Yanfei, are at least on his side now.
Honestly, if it weren't for the relationship between Liyue and Mondstadt, and his current identity, Jiang Ning could have put dozens of ways these people could die into practice in his mind.
However, putting that aside, Jiang Ning still has a way to make these guys who think they're on the moral high ground bow their heads in shame.
As more and more people gathered around, Amber began to panic.
Yura felt somewhat guilty. If she had known, she wouldn't have entered Clear Spring Town. Now, Amber and Jiang Ning were both being ostracized.
Just as Yura was pondering how to temporarily resolve the matter, a bone-chilling cold swept across the scene.
Even Genshin Impact, an ice-attribute being, couldn't help but tremble.
The chill made the atmosphere at the scene almost reach zero degrees Celsius.
He exhaled and released a puff of white mist.
Jiang Ning raised her eyes, her gaze icy.
"Have you all... had enough of arguing?"
78. My rules are my rules (Seeking first subscription)
The chilling aura and murderous intent intertwined, drawing everyone's attention to Jiang Ning.
Subconsciously, many people swallowed hard.
It was as if Jiang Ning at this moment was not a harmless boy, but a humanoid beast.
"You've all argued enough, so move aside."
Jiang Ning said.
"...No, we can't let him beat someone up and then just walk away so easily! There are so many of us here!"
One of the young men in the middle, as if to bolster his courage, shouted something.
His words stirred up a great deal of discussion, and those around him responded enthusiastically.
"Yes! There's no way it's that cheap!"
These people had a simple idea: the law doesn't punish the masses. And basically, as long as a group of people made a fuss, the Knights of Favonius would usually give in, or at the very least, find a compromise.
However, they messed with the wrong person today.
Jiang Ning immediately targeted the person who was shouting the loudest, and then, in a flash, stomped him under his foot.
"Keep talking, why did you stop?"
Jiang Ning looked down at the people at his feet and said.
Suddenly, cold water was poured into the boiling pot, and the scene fell silent once again.
"You...you're just an outsider! What right do you have to interfere in Mondstadt's affairs?"
The way he spoke sounded like he was forcing himself to stay upright.
"If you continue like this, the Knights of Favonius will not let you off!"
Jiang Ning said, "Oh? So you're not going to say I'm an accomplice of the Lawrence family anymore? Also, if I were a member of the Fools, would you dare speak to me like that?"
"Furthermore, to tell you the truth, I came to Springvale this time representing Tianquan Star of the Liyue Seven Stars to inspect the meat quality of your livestock. If it is still the same as before, then Tianquan Star can continue to renew the contract with you."
“Yura is my guide and my friend… With you all like this, I don’t think it’s worth trying the meat. It seems like you can’t produce any good meat in such a prejudiced place.”
Jiang Ning was already thinking that once he got back, he would release the pig he bought in Qingquan Town from the Chenge Pot and then go catch his own.
"You, you're bullying me by abusing your power!"
Jiang Ning: "...?"
No, are the Mondstadt people really brainless or just plain stupid?
At this point, shouldn't you ask for your own forgiveness, apologize, try to make amends, and see if you can get the order back?
Jiang Ning pursed her lips, then suddenly smiled:
"Yes, I was just bullying you, so what? Liyue accounts for 60% of your total meat exports, and whether or not to renew the contract is up to me. I suggest you think it through before you speak."
Jiang Ning was fully authorized by Ning Guang to go out this time, so he had the confidence to say these words.
Seeing that the residents of Qingquan Town remained silent, Jiang Ning went even further:
"Apologize, apologize to Yura. This knight has saved you many times, and you're just clinging to her surname, Lawrence?"
"You heartless ingrate, what does Lawrence's sins have to do with them?"
Jiang Ning immediately launched into a tirade.
"If you ask me, Yura should just let you all get eaten by monsters in the wild."
"An apology for Lawrence's sins? Impossible!"
The people around them reacted like cats whose tails had been stepped on, filled with righteous indignation.
Jiang Ning suddenly laughed: "Do you all think I really wouldn't dare to make a move? Surrounding the Liyue delegation and forcing them to hand over their items, and more importantly, belittling our friends from Liyue like this..."
"Do you believe it or not, if I turn around and leave with the delegation right now, your Mondstadt will have to beg us to come back?"
Jiang Ning's words were not unfounded. Those who know about Mondstadt's "giant baby" mentality understand. Doing business with Liyue is actually only because Liyue has a good relationship with their Geo Archon and the Anemo Archon Barbatos.
In terms of alchemy, although the best talent is in Mondstadt, Liyue is not bad either. As for other things... to be honest, Mondstadt really doesn't have any irreplaceable products.
It's just a wine from the Dawn Winery, famous far and wide, but the people of Liyue aren't like the people of Mondstadt; they can't live without wine.
On the contrary, Liyue has top-notch food, porcelain, tea and a whole range of other products.
Especially when it comes to food, Liyue is a vast and resource-rich land with fertile soil, making it a major food-producing region. And Mondstadt? Although its soil is not bad either.
However, due to their love of freedom, they are actually lazy, with very few people farming. As for food, 70% of it is imported from Liyue.
Seeing that the people around him had fallen silent, Jiang Ning's gaze sharpened, and he coldly shouted, "Apologize!"
He believed he should use his status to force the other side to bow down, and he had long been annoyed by these Mondstadt spoiled brats.
Jean and Noelle, who were on fairly good terms with him, were introducing him to quite a few things about Mondstadt when he was suddenly pulled away on the street and told he had something to ask of him.
Out of consideration for his friend, Jiang Ning didn't say anything, but did these guys think he was too nice?
Seeing that the situation had reached a stalemate, Jiang Ning grew increasingly impatient and was about to speak again when Youra tugged at his sleeve:
"Never mind. It's okay."
"Yura, you..."
Jiang Ning frowned.
However, seeing the weariness etched on Yura's calm eyes, Jiang Ning sighed and said:
"Well, now that you say so."
Jiang Ning stepped off the Mondstadt man and, amidst the angry and fearful gazes of the crowd, left Springvale with Yola and Amber.
In the shadows, atop a large tree, a lush green bard observes everything.
He felt deeply sorry for Yura's plight, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, in a free city-state, it was best for the gods not to intervene lightly.
but……
Wendy compared Jiang Ning's strength to that of Morax back then, and then clicked her tongue in amazement.
