Genshin Impact, starting from becoming the God of the Ocean

"Here, this is for you."

Su Zhe tossed over a token.

When Qianyanjun took it, he immediately sensed that the token was made of unusual material. He couldn't quite tell, but he could see that it was blue with the words "Sea Mist" engraved on it.

He was stunned for a while before he remembered that Liyue had recently established a department where he and some of his brothers had gone.

Lord Ningguang repeatedly emphasized that the Sea Mist Department has the same authority as the Eight Gates, so the one who holds this token is naturally the leader, an existence equivalent to the head of the Eight Gates.

Qianyan Jun's expression immediately turned solemn.

"Sir, may I ask who you are...?"

“My name is Su Zhe. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Ke Qing. I just came back from Daoqi with her.”

"No need, no need."

Qianyanjun quickly waved his hand.

The Sea Mist Bureau was newly established, and this token was specially made. Not many people in Liyue Harbor know about it, so it's even more impossible to counterfeit it.

Besides, if they were really going to make a copy, who would expose themselves just to punish such a small-time hoodlum?

Of course, he didn't want to nag Ke Qing about this. Lord Yuheng was known for his decisive and ruthless actions, and he was very strict with his subordinates. Everyone was afraid of him.

"The procedures still need to be followed. As for the judgment... well, that guy just used a grappling move on me, and my arm still feels like it's going to break. It hurts a lot. Would that count as a major assault?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Xiaofei immediately became anxious and cried out that he was wronged, saying that he hadn't even hurt a single finger of Su Zhe.

But these two Qianyan soldiers were perceptive and immediately understood Su Zhe's meaning.

It is said that a new broom sweeps clean. This Sea Mist Chief is so highly regarded by Ningguang and personally led to Inazuma by Keqing. How good must their relationship be?

Immediately, he solemnly assured Su Zhe that this guy would last at least five years.

In reality, at this stage in Liyue, there are still significant loopholes in the determination of criminal penalties.

In other words, it is highly manipulable, and Qian Yanjun is more or less annoyed by habitual offenders like Yan Xiaofei.

Just in time, the big boss said something, and they couldn't wait to lighten their burden.

Watching Qianyan Army lead the people away, Yun Jin couldn't help but become curious.

Everyone saw that token just now, but even she didn't recognize it. Su Zhe? When did Liyue have such an important figure?

"Huh? Su Zhe, what just happened?"

Xiao Gong emerged from the crowd, asking with a face full of curiosity.

"It's nothing, just a little thing." Su Zhe smiled. "How's the fireworks shop going?"

"Hmm, it's more interesting than I expected. I've seen a lot of Inazuma fireworks. Many of the ones from Liyue are directly from Inazuma, but there are also many from other countries. In short, they all look great. I plan to buy some to take back and study later."

Xiaogong said with great interest.

"Mr. Su Zhe, did you just return from Inazuma?"

Yun Jin asked softly.

"Yes, I was busy with some things in Inazuma and only got back today. As for her..."

"My name is Naganohara Yoomiya, I'm a friend of Su Zhe, you can just call me Yoomiya!" The fireworks girl flashed a golden smile. "My hobby is making fireworks, I came from Inazuma!"

Yun Jin smiled and said, "Hello, my name is Yun Jin."

"Yun... Yun Jin!" Xiao Gong suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Is that Miss Yun Jin from the Yunhan Society?"

Yun Jin looked puzzled: "Exactly, may I ask..."

"Wow! I've heard Beidou mention you before. She said you're the best opera singer in all of Liyue, a true star! I've wanted to hear you sing for ages!"

"Miss Beidou?"

Yun Jin suddenly realized.

Although she was not familiar with Beidou, she had heard of his name.

The Northern Dipper Dragon King of the Southern Cross, who spends most of his time at sea, has naturally visited Inazuma as well.

I never expected to mention her to someone else.

Su Zhe was somewhat puzzled: "Beidou listens to opera?"

Isn't the Dragon King's sister always drinking and eating heartily?

"Hehe~ Of course she wouldn't listen, but she knows I'm interested in these things, so she told me."

"Miss Xiaogong also enjoys listening to opera?"

"Hmm...I haven't heard of it yet, but I think I'd like it."

Su Zhe was even more puzzled. He had never heard of it, yet he knew he liked it?

Xiaogong explained, "Because the songs sung on the stage are like different and wonderful lives. I think it's the same as fireworks. The actors sing out all kinds of life stories for everyone to see. I also want to create fireworks that are different for each person."

"The moment fireworks burst in the sky is just like a story unfolding on a stage, hehe~ isn't that the same? So I feel that listening to opera will definitely give me inspiration for making fireworks!"

A look of surprise flashed in Yun Jin's eyes. She hadn't expected that someone who had never heard the song before would have such an idea.

What is this called?

A kindred spirit indeed.

Although it was her first time performing, Yun Jin felt that it was something to be happy about that her opera performances could be heard by someone like Xiao Gong.

Thinking of this, she smiled and said, "In that case, the Yunhan Society's performance will begin soon at the Heyu Teahouse. Why don't you two come with me? I'll personally go on stage and sing a few songs for you later."

"Yes, yes, time's almost up!"

The woman beside Yun Jin urged, "If we go any further, we won't have time to get ready for the performance. Yun Jin, we should go."

Xiao Gong was naturally happy to agree. She looked at Su Zhe and waited for him to make a decision.

"Then let's go."

It's still early before the dinner time agreed upon with Keqing, so let's go see Mr. Yun's play; it would be a worthwhile experience living in Liyue.

...

The Heyu Tea House has always been a great place for Liyue residents to relax after work. When they are tired from work, they can come here to drink tea, rest their feet, and listen to a storyteller tell a few wonderful stories, which is a great enjoyment in life.

The teahouse owner, Master Fan, is also very shrewd. He knows the ins and outs of running a teahouse and invites tea masters to tell stories, who are among the best storytellers in Liyue.

Of course, Heyu Teahouse only became truly bustling with business after Yunhan Society became affiliated with it.

This era is certainly not the kind of modern model that Su Zhe is familiar with. There are no mobile phones or computers, and there is a lack of entertainment. Didn't you see that the old man usually spends most of his time idly strolling around and walking his birds?

Drinking tea, listening to music, listening to stories—Liyue has many talented people. Those who are truly skilled storytellers can tell stories in a way that is even more interesting than what is shown on television.

As for opera performances, those are a traditional art form of Liyue.

There was even a saying among the people of Liyue that when this opera singing begins, people from all directions come to listen: one direction is human, three directions are ghosts, and four directions are gods.

When you arrive at the stage to listen to the opera, ghosts and gods are all the same. No matter who you are, just stay quiet and listen until the opera is over.

At this moment.

Su Zhe and Xiao Gong, led by an employee of Yunhan Society, sat down at a tea table.

The teahouse was already quite crowded. The storyteller had left not long ago, and many people had come specifically to listen to his storytelling. Now that he was gone, even more people had come, mostly to hear Mr. Yun perform opera.

Xiao Gong looked around excitedly.

Such scenes are rarely seen in Inazuma.

Inazuma is usually at lively events, such as festivals, where there are often fireworks, which she looks forward to.

However, due to the recent strict ban by Inazuma, there have been fewer opportunities for festivals, the atmosphere in the whole country is dull, and life has lost much of its color.

She came here for two reasons: first, for the fireworks, and second, to bring back the beautiful and interesting 'colors' of Liyue to Inazuma.

Yoomiya believed that Inatsume wouldn't remain faded forever.

"I can't wait, it's about to start."

"I just watched the program for the play rehearsal, hehe~ all of them are songs I like to listen to."

"Is there any opera performance by Mr. Yun that you don't like?"

"Ahem~ Don't say that, I'm a person of taste."

"Speaking of which, there seems to be a rumor that Mr. Yun is working on a new play, something like... Goddess Splitting the Temple?"

At the surrounding tea tables, people who had come to watch the opera were chatting animatedly.

Before it even officially started, the atmosphere had already built up on its own. Yunhan Opera Troupe had been operating for many years and had a large number of loyal listeners. Seeing the troupe getting better and better, they were naturally happy.

"Excuse me, is anyone here?"

A voice rang in Su Zhe's ear.

His voice was gentle and steady; one could tell at a glance that he was the well-mannered type.

"Nobody's here, just the two of us... huh?"

Su Zhe turned his head and was stunned. An old man walking his bird!?

The old man didn't bring the bird; his golden eyes were fixed on Su Zhe, his expression unchanged.

Xiaogong said with a grin, "It's just the two of us, you sit down, you sit down."

Zhongli nodded slightly, sat down at one side of the tea table, ordered a pot of tea, and then said nothing more, seemingly waiting for the performance to begin.

exist?

What should I do if my grandfather is sitting right next to me? I need help urgently!

Su Zhe was also surprised that Zhong Li had come to listen to the opera.

Even more coincidentally, it was sitting right next to me.

Su Zhe didn't believe Zhong Li was unaware of his identity, but he knew Zhong Li definitely didn't know that he knew his identity.

So, in terms of the current situation, it is relatively stable. Su Zhe knows more and has an advantage.

However, since Zhongli has come, it's probably not just to watch the opera. But I haven't done anything wrong, so I might as well make the best of it and see what happens first.

Meanwhile, the conversation about Mr. Yun's opera was incredibly lively.
