Morax is dead, Liyue will fall into my hands.

"Guest of the Hall of Rebirth": "From a general theoretical point of view, the two are indeed a good match, but matters of the heart still depend on the personal wishes of both parties."

Huh? Everyone was taken aback by the reply. What did it mean?

Has the person been switched back?

Could it be that when Ningguang sent the message, Hu Tao was returning the phone to Zhong Li, which is why she didn't reply for a while?

So that means that Master Hu actually didn't have those kinds of feelings for Li Ye?

Zhongli looked at Hu Tao standing not far away, wanting to see the chat group content but seemingly hesitant to look. He sighed inwardly, thinking that this was probably the best solution for now.

All I can say is that Li Ye is good in every way, but it's precisely because he's so good that you, Master Hu, really can't handle him.

Chapter 120: Rest After Finishing All This

"Guest of the Hall of Rebirth": "I apologize. I had some drinks tonight and I'm a little dizzy. I'm speaking incoherently. I hope you all won't take offense."

Drank too much?

Not to mention Keqing and Ningguang, even Xiao next to Li Ye didn't believe it.

Lord Zhongli is a man who can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, how could he possibly be drunk and talking nonsense after just two cups of wine?

That's what they say, but apart from Zhongli, no one else can really guess what Hu Tao truly thinks of Li Ye.

When Hu Tao saw Zhong Li's gaze, she looked away uncontrollably, like a woman caught having a crush by her father, avoiding eye contact with him.

Zhongli thought about it a lot, but in the end decided not to dwell on it.

Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Master Hu is not young anymore and should be able to make his own judgments. Too much interference may not be a good thing.

But I still have to continue cleaning up her mess.

"Guest of the Hall of Rebirth": "Although you were talking incoherently just now, it would be good for Boss Li to spend more time with the Seven Stars of Liyue and make friends."

Li Ye thought cooperation was fine, but friendship was out of the question, since what he was doing involved jeopardizing the foundation of the Seven Stars of Liyue.

Even if the cooperation is very pleasant for five or ten years, when the day comes that one's true intentions are revealed and it becomes necessary to fight, it will be difficult to end peacefully.

If that's the case, why bother making the relationship too good?

"Who in the world doesn't know Ye?": "Alright, let's try to get to know each other more often in the future."

In addition, the money exchange is finally opening, and the charitable foundation is also preparing to officially begin operations. In short, everyone will be quite busy for the next period of time, so please be mentally prepared.

Everyone in the chat group frowned upon seeing Li Ye's last sentence.

Even Xiao, inside the carriage, couldn't help but look up at Li Ye, whose mental state wasn't very good.

Why are you still busy?

Didn't you say before that you would take a good rest for a while after you finished what you were doing?

"Beef Offal Chef": "Li Ye, didn't you say that once the money exchange is up and running, you won't have to be so busy anymore?"

"Who in the world doesn't know Ye?": "The money shop has just opened, so I definitely need to pay close attention to it. After all, it's a major event concerning the people of Liyue Harbor, and I can't afford to be careless."

Once the money exchange is running smoothly, I can be a hands-off manager.

really?

I feel like you're lying to me!

Having said all that, Ke Qing couldn't say anything more. She could only send Wang Xiaomei a private message, asking her to urge Li Ye to take a break and not to overwork himself.

Ningguang also sent a message to Gan Yu. She knew that even Wang Xiaomei might not be able to dissuade her from this kind of thing, but she still hoped that Li Ye would pay more attention to it.

He said he could live at least another twenty or thirty years, but Ningguang didn't want him to really only live another twenty or thirty years.

Li Ye exited the chat group and saw Xiao looking at him. He suddenly remembered that Feng Yan had said he had learned a move or two from him in the banquet hall, and couldn't help but ask, "Yuan Hua, who exactly are you?"

Someone who can teach Feng Yan even a move or two must not be an ordinary martial artist, right?

Could he be a genius heir of some sect? Because he was dissatisfied with the marriage arranged by his sect, he betrayed his sect and fled to Wangshu Inn?

Or perhaps he practiced some special secret technique like the "Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies, I Alone Am Supreme" skill, and is actually in his seventies or eighties now, but has rejuvenated through the technique?

Xiao turned his head: "Hmph!"

Unlike Ningguang and the others, Xiao's method of dealing with Li Ye was the simplest: just continue to act aloof and indifferent, which was what he had always done.

Li Ye really had no way to deal with Xiao's move.

He just won't tell us, what can we do about it? We can't exactly force him to resign, can we?

Where can you find such a good bodyguard!

Fine, I won't say it then.

Li Ye: "Never mind, it's your freedom to say whether you want to or not. I don't necessarily have to ask."

I just want to know, Yuan Hua, just how powerful are you? If Pantalone hires a group of experts to kill me, could you handle it?"

Xiao heard Li Ye's doubts and snorted dismissively.

Row!

Although your attitude of not being able to utter a single word for so long is really annoying, your confident appearance is really cool.

Li Ye said, "Since you're so confident, then come move to the money exchange with me. I'll probably be spending more time there in the future."

"it is good."

Xiao answered very decisively this time, saying that he needed to live closer to Li Ye.

On the one hand, we need to find an opportunity to continue investigating Li Ye; on the other hand, mathematics is indeed a little bit difficult.

Unfortunately, without Li Ye's guidance, Xiao was finding it quite difficult to learn.

After Xiao agreed, Li Ye nodded in satisfaction.

I lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the floating stones flying under the night sky with envy. Perhaps I really should prepare one myself.

This way, you can continue working on your tasks no matter where you go, without wasting time traveling.

Take a break...

I'll rest after I finish these important tasks.

Thinking this, Li Ye fell asleep in the carriage in the blink of an eye.

It was already past midnight when we got back to Jiaxuan Teahouse.

After waking up, Li Ye told Xiao to rest and went back to his office to continue working late into the night.

Too many unexpected things happened at the banquet tonight, and there were some things he had to deal with before dawn.

For example, articles reporting on his own assault on Mao Lian.

He doesn't trust others to do this kind of thing.

Li Ye's article, which he plans to publish in the "Wanmin Daily," is written entirely from the perspective of a customer, the most detached observer.

He neither offered any excuse for himself nor uttered a single word of slander against Mao Lian.

He even stated bluntly in the article that he assaulted Mao Lian and six others without any evidence and is still a criminal.

The reason he wasn't arrested by the Thousand Rock Army wasn't because he hadn't broken Liyue's laws, but because he was granted limited freedom temporarily through bail.

After finishing the manuscript, Li Ye read it again and was not very satisfied.

Some potentially provocative paragraphs were deleted and rewritten.

Only when the final manuscript was absolutely fair did Li Ye nod in satisfaction.

He didn't need to use the "Wanmin Daily" to defend himself, and he also wanted to avoid giving others cause for gossip.

Because as long as you remain impartial, you are already in an invincible position.

The laws of Liyue are cold and inflexible; they will not grant any leniency simply because the person subject to the law is Li Ye.

But in this world, besides the law, there is a secular force called morality, and a terrifying weapon called the human heart.

With Li Ye having won over the hearts of the people, as long as he continues to stand on the moral high ground, even if he violates the laws of Liyue, it will not affect his ability to deliver a fatal blow to Mao Lian and the merchant guild behind him!

Chapter 121: What is Social Skill?

Before dawn, Li Ye woke up one of the waiters at the teahouse and asked him to deliver the manuscript to the newspaper office.

The newspapers are usually printed the night before and then sold directly the next day.

However, it's not difficult to add content on short notice. As long as you're not afraid of losing money, you can just print another copy.

After all, newspapers are sold in sets. If a set is missing a page, the buyer will definitely be unhappy; but if there is an extra page, no one will complain.

Newspapers are meant to report on this matter fairly, but manipulating public opinion is never solely the responsibility of newspapers.

Once the newspaper deliverymen had woken up, Li Ye instructed them to deliver the newspapers to the various storytellers or those who read newspapers to the illiterate people of Liyue, and to slightly exaggerate his rampage in the Jade Pavilion.

In fact, Li Ye didn't need to teach them any of this. When the waking-up workers heard that their boss had punched Mao Lian for the sake of an innocent girl from an ordinary background, they were all excited and couldn't help but cheer for their boss.

The saying goes, "A bad soldier is just one bad soldier, but a bad general makes a bad army." Working for a boss like this, you can stand tall with confidence.

The newspaper deliverymen rushed to the newspaper office, and Li Ye took out two more letters from his pocket, called over Manager Zhang and said, "Manager Zhang, there's something I need you to arrange for me."

Find someone you trust who knows Mondstadt well, ask them to go to Mondstadt and find an astrologer named Mona, then give her this letter.

If you really can't find anyone, then take this letter to Jean, the acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, and ask her for help.

However, favors are something you can only use once, so it's best to avoid using them if possible.

Li Ye and the troupe leader Qin could only be described as acquaintances; they didn't have any deep friendship, and in fact, they had never even met.

Commander Qin enjoys reading novels, especially romance novels.

Li Ye's "Legend of the White Snake," which he had previously written for Yun Jin, went through several twists and turns before finally ending up in the hands of the troupe leader, Qin. Then the two of them had a brief exchange of letters.

They continued to correspond later because Li Ye would occasionally help Qin with her ideas, but he mostly treated her as an ordinary book friend and didn't have the same close relationship as he did with Yun Jin.

Ultimately, literary creation is just a hobby for Qin, but for Yun Jin, it is both her job and what she pursues.

Li Ye had considered cultivating a good relationship with Director Qin to facilitate his future development and expansion, but the problem was that he simply didn't have the time or energy for it at the moment.

It should be noted that Li Ye has only been in Liyue for a little over a year. From nothing to now, he has been extremely busy every day.

Even if we really want to have an in-depth conversation with Director Jean, we should at least wait until things are completely on track in Liyue before we can focus on things outside of Liyue.

Manager Zhang nodded and said, "Don't worry, boss, I'll make sure everything is arranged properly."
