Morax is dead, Liyue will fall into my hands.

The young men beside him also had livid faces; they had long disliked Li Ye.

He's just a peasant, what right does he have to ride roughshod over me? Who does he think he is!

Moreover, it's one thing for him to show off, but he also organizes some kind of charity to force everyone to donate. Not only is his own chamber of commerce forced to bleed money, but he also steals all the credit. It's absolutely despicable!

Mao Lian looked at the still-shaken waiter, who kept bowing and apologizing to Li Ye, his originally sinister gaze gradually calming down.

He looked at the wealthy young man beside him and said, "What's the next step?"

The wealthy young man was bewildered when asked, "Next step? That's it?"

Mao Lian gestured with his chin toward the waiter, and the young men around him immediately understood.

The young tycoon immediately understood Mao Lian's thoughts. His expression changed slightly at first, but he quickly became angry and wicked, after all, this was not the first time he had done something like this.

On the other side, Li Ye comforted the waitress, telling her not to take it to heart.

He even went so far as to bring up the rumor that he had once slashed eighteen streets at the dock to prove that this minor injury was nothing.

Seeing that Li Ye really didn't take it to heart, the waiter thanked him profusely again, almost crying with emotion.

Although she was not very old, she had already worked as a waitress at Liuli Pavilion for three years and had seen countless bosses and young masters from Liyue or other places.

I have never met anyone like Li Ye. If I were in this situation, he would not only not blame me, but would also take the initiative to comfort me.

"I'm sorry, I really don't know why, I suddenly felt unsteady on my feet..."

"It's not your fault. Everyone encounters unexpected situations. Only Prince Yan never makes mistakes. Alright, go and get back to work."

After Li Ye dismissed the waiter, Bai Xiao suggested, "Mr. Li, your hand is burned, and the sleeve of your dress is also stained. Why don't you leave for now and come with me to the backyard for some simple treatment?"

Li Ye looked at the blisters that had formed on his left hand, nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you. Gentlemen, we'll talk later."

The young men also said goodbye to Li Ye and praised his handling of the problem.

Even the most foolish among them realized at this point that their stupidity had almost caused a public relations crisis for Boss Li.

Unexpectedly, Boss Li not only handled the situation with ease, but also showed no sign of blaming them from beginning to end. Thinking of this, the young men admired Li Ye even more.

Li Ye followed Bai Xiao and had only taken a few steps when he suddenly noticed that the other waiters had all become very cautious. Suddenly remembering something, he quickly said, "Miss Bai Xiao, please wait a moment. I suddenly remembered something that needs to be taken care of and will take a few minutes."

Bai Xiao: "Please, Mr. Li."

After saying goodbye to Bai Xiao, Li Ye began searching for Xiao, but after scanning around twice, he couldn't find him.

Then, realizing what was happening, he started looking for Zhongli again. This time, he immediately saw Mr. Zhongli in the center of the crowd, and Xiao was right next to him.

Li Ye strode up to Xiao and hurriedly said, "You saw what happened just now, right?"

Xiao: "Hmm."

Li Ye quickly asked, "Do you remember what that waitress looked like?"

Xiao: "I remember."

Li Ye: "Go find her right now and protect her secretly. I'm worried someone might want to harm her!"

Although Li Ye still doesn't know who is behind all of this, if the other party is not willing to give up, then the next move can probably be guessed.

Yes, the waiter offended Mr. Li, the owner of Jiaxuan Teahouse, and was so uneasy and worried about implicating his family that he jumped off Qunyu Pavilion. Everything seemed so natural.

As for pursuing the matter? These kinds of things are always handled by middlemen.

Even if they are exposed, they can easily deny everything and absolve themselves of all responsibility.

In some people's eyes, they probably wouldn't care about the waiter's life at all; he was just a tool.

This can be seen from the first move the other party made. If Li Ye hadn't dodged, and if it had been some other young master from a noble family who had been splashed with the scalding soup, the waiter's fate would have been predictable.

Upon hearing Li Ye's guess, Zhong Li, who was standing nearby, revealed a rare hint of anger in his usually calm expression.

"it is good."

Xiao noticed Zhongli's change, immediately turned around and blended into the crowd, then quietly left the banquet hall.

After Xiao left, Zhongli looked at Li Ye again and said, "If the guess is true, what are your plans, Mr. Li?"

Li Ye answered without hesitation: "A life for a life, a debt for a debt—this is an immutable principle! Besides, I, Li Ye, have never been one to suffer a loss. Anyone who tries to trample on me, I will trample them back a thousandfold!"

Zhongli: "They won't do it themselves."

Li Ye: "I know, therefore I will."

Chapter 92: Seeking Justice

Zhongli: "Actually, you could notify Tianquan Ningguang's assistant."

Upon hearing Zhongli's reminder, Li Ye smiled slightly. He knew very well that this was possible, and he had no doubt that Bai Xiao would take strict precautions once he learned of this.

After all, Ningguang was the host of this banquet, and daring to cause trouble in Qunyu Pavilion was a blatant challenge to the authority of Tianquan Star!

Even if the murderer continues to commit crimes and is caught on the spot by the people sent by Bai Xiao, then the truth about the accident at the banquet will also come to light.

But Zhongli himself said that the real culprit would not take action personally, and even if someone was caught, they would only be a scapegoat.

Even if the most sophisticated methods of coherent imaging are used to identify the real culprit, without evidence, the General Affairs Department still cannot punish the murderer.

Of course, this doesn't mean Ningguang will let it go. She will definitely teach the other party a profound lesson in other ways, otherwise, where is the majesty of Tianquan Star?

Ningguang did this to maintain her authority, to get justice for herself, and perhaps to make an example of someone.

But in the process, who cared about the innocent waitress who was caught up in it?

Like Liyue and countless others in Teyvat, she has parents and relatives. At some point in the future, she will meet her soulmate and form a new family.

She did nothing wrong, yet suffered the greatest harm and ultimately did not receive a fair outcome.

Li Ye knew that Teyvat was unfair, or rather, no world was fair.

But that doesn't mean he can't pursue fairness; there's never been such a principle.

Li Ye looked at Zhong Li and said in a very calm tone, "If someone were to murder that waiter in an attempt to smear me, I would absolutely not consider it my fault."

But I have a responsibility and an obligation to help that waiter get at least some basic justice. And hopefully, it will also make some people realize that the lives of the poor matter too!

Looking at Li Ye's unwavering attitude, Zhong Li recalled the image of that spirited and ambitious young man from back then.

He said he wanted to ensure that all the people of Liyue were well-fed and warmly clothed;

He said he wanted to ensure that every person in Liyue had access to education and medical care;

He also said he wanted to create a "Spark" city where there was no distinction between high and low, noble and base;

He can't do it; everyone who hears Li Ye's dream will make that judgment.

But after making a judgment, a new thought arises: I'm really looking forward to it.

Because this young man who pursues his dream always adheres to the principle of "equality for all," which is the cornerstone of his dream and a commitment that moves everyone.

Zhongli: "I agree. If you need help, you can tell me."

Hearing Zhong Li's support, Li Ye smiled broadly: "Thanks, but I don't need it for now."

A bunch of clowns with their petty tricks dare to show off their skills in front of me, Li Ye. They are simply too arrogant to be worthy of respect.

Mr. Zhongli waited patiently, thinking that if the other party was willing to accept the situation, then there would be plenty of time to settle this score later.

If they dare to push their luck any further, I'll show them today why the sunset fruit is so red!

I'm going to get my injuries treated first. See you later.

Zhongli looked at Li Ye, who had blended into the crowd, and hesitated to speak. So why is the Sunset Fruit so popular?

After saying goodbye to Zhongli, Li Ye reunited with Bai Xiao and met Bai Wen and Bai Shi.

Bai Xiao: "I've heard and know a lot. I'm going to take Boss Li to the backyard later. Please keep an eye on things here."

Baiwen: "Go in peace, I won't let this happen again."

Bai Shi looked Li Ye up and down and teased, "Mr. Li, were you tempted by the revelation just now?"

But Hui Luo is the only granddaughter of Tian Shu Star, and also Aunt Hui Xin's favorite niece. Whoever marries her can skip several lifetimes of hard work.

Li Ye refused without hesitation: "Miss Bai Shi is too kind. I, Li Ye, come from a humble background and dare not presume to presume upon you."

Seeing that Li Ye refused so readily, Bai Shi quickly added, "What Bai Xiao just said is all true. Tian Shu Xing did indeed have the idea of ​​recruiting you as his grandson-in-law."

Li Ye was both amused and exasperated. He had initially thought it was just a joke to help him out of a predicament, but now it seemed to be true.

But that's all there is to it. What Li Ye wants, not to mention Tian Shu Star, even the seven stars of Liyue or the resurrection of the Geo Archon can't give him. So he should just keep fighting for the rest of his life.

Li Ye feigned a regretful expression and then found an impeccable reason for himself, saying, "Hearing Miss Bai Shi say that really makes my heart flutter, but unfortunately I already have a good match. It can only be said that we are destined to be apart."

"A perfect match? Mr. Li got married?"

Bai Xiao and the other two were all taken aback, never expecting that Li Ye would have a wife at such a young age.

Li Ye quickly explained, "Not yet, but she has been by my side since I came into this world. Although we are not husband and wife, we are closer than husband and wife."

Li Ye thought to himself: This is no lie, she really has been by my side ever since I came into this world.

Childhood sweethearts!

Two little guesses!

Baiwen and Baixiaoli imagined a million-word inspirational and sweet romance novel, while Baishi, standing beside them, never mentioned matchmaking.

Bai Shi: "Congratulations, Mr. Li. When you hold your wedding banquet in the future, you must send us your wedding invitations. Even if we can't share in the joy, we must at least meet the bride."

Li Ye: "Next...definitely, definitely."

"I'll definitely do it next time," I almost blurted out.

Because I needed to treat the burns, I didn't continue my detailed conversation with Baiwen and Baishi.

After saying goodbye to the two, he followed Bai Xiao and left the banquet for the backyard.

Not long after Li Ye left, Hui Luo came over.

When Bai Xiao saw Hui Luo, he pretended to be a little regretful and said, "It's a pity, Hui Luo. Boss Li said that he has found a good match, and that he is a childhood sweetheart who has been with him since birth."

Huiluo agreed, saying, "That's really a pity."

Bai Xiao was shocked: "No way? Hui Luo really has such thoughts?"

Hui Luo readily admitted, "If Mr. Li doesn't have a suitable match yet, isn't it normal for me to have such thoughts?"

Don't you all think that Mr. Li is exceptionally outstanding in terms of character, appearance, temperament, ability, and interpersonal skills?
