But he always buys cheap, common medicines. He's probably not the Star Lord you're looking for."

Keqing analyzed from the side, "The money Wang Ping'an has swindled is worth over 100 million Mora. No matter how stingy he is, he wouldn't buy these cheap drugs."

Song Yinjian shook his head. "Wang Ping'an is just an ordinary guy from the countryside. He was able to defraud such a huge amount of money. There must be a professional criminal gang behind him. It's very likely that he only kept a small portion of the money he defrauded."

After listening to this, Bai Zhu suggested, "In that case, why don't you just wait in the pharmacy. I estimated the date and Wang Zhong should come to buy medicine in the next two days."

Song Yinjian had already had this plan. After hearing what Bai Zhu said, he found a chair at the door and sat down. Then he leisurely took out a light novel by Inazuma from his arms and began to read it with relish.

Keqing walked over to Bai Zhu and helped him grind the medicine. She also chatted with him about the health care of the elderly. Her grandparents have not been in good health recently.

Song Yinjian quickly finished reading the light novel "Reincarnated as the Thunder General, and Then Became Invincible in the World", and felt very empty.

Although the novel is about invincibility, it is still not exciting enough. If you can't suppress Morax and destroy Tianli, how can you be called invincible?

After finishing the novel, his thoughts gradually drifted away, and Inazuma's current situation emerged in his mind.

A year ago, General Raiden issued a national lockdown order and used his supreme divine power to bring endless thunderstorms around Inazuma.

This action directly led to the devastating blow to Kaijima's tourism and pearling industries. To make matters worse, the shogunate also banned Kaijima from importing food and also reduced the fishing area of ​​Kaijima fishermen.

The people of Kaijima were forced to form a resistance army and engage in a fierce battle with the shogunate army on Yae Island. Countless Inazuma people died in this civil war.

When Song Yinjian thought of so many people who needed to be reborn, he wished he could swim to Bayun Island right now.

Just as he was immersed in his thoughts, a young man hurried past him. His steps were a little unsteady, as if he was completely hollowed out.

Song Yinjian's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He calmly put away the novel in his arms and watched the man's every move closely.

The man walked straight up to Bai Zhu and said weakly, "Doctor Bai Zhu, this time... this time, please give me some slightly more expensive tonic."

Bai Zhu frowned, looking him up and down with a serious face, and said in a serious tone: "Wang Zhong, your vitality is now overdrawn too seriously. If you continue like this, I'm afraid you won't have much time to live."

Wang Zhong panicked when he heard this and quickly said, "Then get the most expensive medicine. I can afford it no matter how much it costs."

As soon as the words fell, Keqing's face changed slightly, and a sharp light flashed in her eyes. She was about to take action, but she saw Song Yinjian at the door shaking his head slightly.

Bai Zhu also saw Song Yinjian's gesture, and without saying anything else, he turned and walked to the medicine cabinet at the back to get the medicine.

Not long after, he prepared several packets of medicine, and then patiently and carefully explained to Wang Zhong the decoction methods and precautions of these medicines.

After Wang Zhong paid Mora, he turned around and left in a hurry. He had no idea that two figures were following him quietly.

He hurried out of the city and walked along a remote path with few people.

Because he was so weak, his pace began to slow down after just a moment.

About an hour later, Wang Zhong finally arrived at his destination - a dilapidated fairy temple.

Wang Zhong walked into the temple and came to the statue in the center. He knelt respectfully, clasped his hands together, and said sincerely and devoutly, "Lord Tongque Immortal Lord, I have almost saved enough money to rebuild the temple. I hope you can bless me with everything going smoothly and let me fulfill this wish as soon as possible."

When Song Yinjian, who was hiding in the dark, saw this scene, he felt an inexplicable sense of absurdity in his heart.

He never imagined that this guy who pretended to be a god and cheated people everywhere, his purpose of cheating people out of money was to rebuild a temple for an unknown immortal god.

Keqing, who was standing beside her, sighed slightly and whispered, "He...he's actually not a bad person."

Upon hearing this, Song Yinjian sneered and asked disdainfully, "So, those who were deceived and had their families ruined by him deserved it?"

Keqing was suddenly speechless.

Not long after, Wang Zhong walked out of the Tongque Temple and continued walking towards the wilderness.

Song Yinjian and Keqing continued to follow him silently.

After about half an hour's journey, Wang Zhong arrived at a camp where a group of Fatui were stationed.

Wang Zhong had just stepped into the camp when he heard a fierce quarrel inside.

He and one of the squad leaders with stern faces were glaring at each other.

The commander spoke sternly, his face brimming with dignity. "Wang Ping'an, you must immediately conduct several large-scale Ascension ceremonies. Once Ningguang approves your arrest warrant, there will be no place in all of Liyue where you can hide."

Wang Pingan objected passionately, "No! A large number of people have already determined that I am a demon cultivator. If I continue with the ascension ceremony, I will definitely be captured by the Qianyan Army.

My body can no longer bear it. If this continues, I will really die."

However, the commander's attitude was very firm. He said in a stern tone, "I'm not discussing this with you. This is an order. You must do as I say. Otherwise, today will be your death."

As he spoke, he suddenly picked up the spear in his hand and pointed the cold tip of the spear straight at Wang Ping'an's head. He looked as if he would pull the trigger without hesitation and shoot him if the other party dared to refuse.

At this moment, Wang Ping'an's face was pale, his body was trembling slightly, and his heart was full of regret.

He could only grit his teeth and said reluctantly but helplessly, "I... I understand."

Chapter 30 There’s Someone Above Me

Seeing that the time was about right, Song Yinjian said to Keqing beside him, "Master Ke, you stay here and watch. I'll go back to Liyue Harbor to get help."

"No need." Keqing's expression was stern. With a wave of her jade hand, she summoned the Dragon Roar from the box from the Eye of God, which was emitting a mysterious purple light. "They are just some petty thieves. There is no need to trouble the Thousand Rock Army."

After she finished speaking, she moved like lightning and rushed straight towards the Fatui camp.

Song Yinjian just stayed where he was. He was just a weakling in the middle stage of Qi Refining. His fighting power was at most equivalent to that of a debt handler. If something went wrong, he would suffer a great loss.

On the other side, after the Fatui team discovered the aggressive Keqing in the camp, within just one minute, more than ten team members quickly gathered, formed a battle formation, and surrounded Keqing.

As soon as the battle began, Keqing was caught in a difficult fight.

The fighting power of this Fatui team far exceeded her expectations.

Not only are they well-trained and work together seamlessly, but what's even more astonishing is that every member of the team can skillfully control the power of the elements.

"Sword radiance is like mine, slashing away all that is impure!" Keqing cried out, her entire body erupting with dazzling lightning power, instantly cloaked in a dazzling sea of ​​sword shadows. "Master Ke, don't scratch!" The sword shadow, like a streak of lightning, swiftly slashed towards the surrounding Fatui team members, each strike carrying immense force.

However, this seemingly gorgeous move actually causes quite limited damage.

The Fatui members who were hit only suffered some minor injuries, but this did not make them retreat. Instead, it completely aroused their brutality and violence.

One by one, the members of the Fatui fearlessly launched a continuous attack on Keqing like a surging tide.

Keqing suddenly felt a lot of pressure. Although she tried her best to wave the Dragon Roar in the Box, she still seemed to be struggling. She could only grit her teeth and hold on, with a solemn look on her pretty face.

Seeing that the battle situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable, Song Yinjian knew that there was no time for hesitation at this moment. He no longer hid his figure and rushed towards the battlefield.

"Lady Keqing, I'm here to help you. Thousand Rock Army reinforcements will be arriving soon!"

As soon as he reached the edge of the battlefield, Song Yinjian shouted loudly.

Then, he quickly took out the talisman from his arms and poured all his spiritual power into it without reservation.

The talisman rose into the air, and in an instant, a fire dragon with bared fangs and claws and blazing flames was released in the air, rushing towards the Fatui who were besieging Keqing.

Seeing this, the leader of the Fools' eyes flashed, and he made a decision instantly: "Everyone, retreat immediately!"

As soon as the words fell, all the members of the Fatui team followed the leader and retreated without any delay.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Wang Ping'an hurriedly took out a talisman that exuded a strange and eerie aura, gritted his teeth, and madly injected his remaining vitality into it.

As a pungent smoke rose, his figure gradually dissipated and disappeared without a trace from the chaotic battlefield.

In a flash, only Song Yinjian and the panting Keqing were left in the Fatui camp.

The talisman slowly fell from the sky. Song Yinjian hurriedly reached out to catch it. Just as he was about to put it away, he found that several cracks had appeared on the talisman. It seemed that if the talisman was used a few more times, it would be completely broken.

He carefully placed Fu Lu in his arms, looked at Keqing and said, "Master Ke, we have to leave quickly! If the Fatui team finds out there are no reinforcements, they will definitely not let us go."

Keqing let out a long breath, her breathing steadying a bit as she said, feeling rather guilty, "It's all my fault. I let the Fatui and Wang Ping'an escape."

Song Yinjian didn't have the time to argue with her about this, and urged her anxiously, "Let's leave here first. I'll tell you the rest on the way."

After saying that, he ran away at full speed.

Keqing took a deep breath, temporarily put aside the regret in her heart, and followed.

After running like this for half an hour, Song Yinjian slowed down after making sure there was no danger around.

Keqing quickly walked over to him and asked anxiously, "Do you have any way to capture Wang Ping'an and the group of fools?"

Song Yinjian nodded slightly and replied calmly, "If we want to capture Wang Ping'an, we only need to send people to stake out near the Tongque Temple. He will definitely go there again."

As for the Fatui, you'll need to find Ningguang. She has a special intelligence officer directly under her who can help you find them."

"Special Intelligence Officer?" A hint of doubt flashed across Keqing's eyes, and her brows furrowed slightly. "I've been in Liyue for so long, how come I've never heard of such a person?"

Song Yinjian raised the corner of his mouth and chuckled. "If you have heard of it, the position of Tianquan will be yours."

"Then how do you know that?" Keqing became more and more puzzled, her beautiful eyes full of doubts.

Song Yinjian stretched out a finger and pointed towards the sky, his expression full of meaning as he said slowly, "There's someone above me."

Keqing was stunned at first, her thoughts raced in her mind, and she soon guessed something, and had the answer in her heart.

Afterwards, Song Yinjian did not return to Liyue Harbor, but went straight to the Bronze Sparrow Temple.

After entering the dilapidated temple, he respectfully addressed the bronze sparrow statue in the temple and said, "Uncle Tongque, I have something to ask you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged scholar suddenly appeared like a phantom in front of Keqing's astonished eyes.

He sighed slightly, his eyes fell on Song Yinjian, and he said slowly: "What you want to ask this time should be about Wang Ping'an!"

Song Yinjian nodded. "That's exactly what happened. Wang Ping'an colluded with the Winter's Faints, defrauding people in Liyue and causing the destruction of many Liyue citizens."

Tongque's expression became complicated when he heard this. "Wang Ping'an is not a bad person at heart. He just accidentally went astray. If possible, I hope you can give him a chance to reform."

Song Yin asked coldly, "Uncle Master, if you really think so, why not listen to me tell you an example first?"

Then he began to tell the story of Li Daping's tragic experience.

When talking about Li Daping's mother, Old Lady Qin, who cried until her tears dried up due to the grief of losing her son, and was left alone to guard the empty house, Tongque and Keqing felt as if their hearts were weighed down by a huge rock, and were filled with grief.

The little bit of sympathy that I had for Wang Ping'an disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Keqing gritted her teeth and said bitterly, "He committed such a heinous crime. Even the death penalty would be too easy for him!"

Tongque was also filled with righteous indignation and said: "Such evil deeds are simply unforgivable!"

"There's no need to be so angry. He won't live much longer." Song Yinjian waved his hand gently. "Today, in order to escape, he once again overdrew his vitality and forcibly used the talisman. This is undoubtedly hastening his own death."

Chapter 31 The Troubles Resurface

In a dilapidated house in Liyue Harbor, Wang Ping'an curled up on a cold little bed like a dead dog.

His face was as withered as dry wood, and his whole body exuded the aura of death.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally felt a little better. He struggled to sit up from the bed, then stared blankly at the mottled wall, his thoughts drifting away.

He grew up in a poor family and his father died early in a mining accident in a huge rock abyss.

If nothing unexpected had happened, he might have lived an ordinary life in hardship and difficulty like most children from rural areas.

When he was ten years old, he was attacked by a monster in the wild, and it was Tongque who saved him by consuming his own soul.

From then on, Wang Ping'an made up his mind to rebuild the dilapidated Bronze Sparrow Temple.

But when he arrived at the prosperous Liyue Port, he found that no matter how hard he tried, the money he could earn was very meager, and rebuilding the Bronze Sparrow Temple was almost an unattainable dream.

Not long after, fate played another cruel joke on him.

He had all his savings cheated out of a charlatan who pretended to be a god, and the incompetent and corrupt Criminal Law Department didn't even file a case.

Under the dual torture of anger and despair, Wang Ping'an somehow began to imitate the charlatan and started to pretend to be a god and cheat people.

At first, his cheating methods were not sophisticated, and he gained little, so few people were fooled.

Until later, a young wealthy businessman from Winter took a fancy to him and thought he was very "talented", so he sent the Fatui to seek cooperation with him.

Later, Wang Ping'an used his special ability to use Fu Lu to defraud a large amount of money in a short period of time.

Most of the money was taken away by the fools, and he only saved a small part.

But even this small amount of wealth is an astronomical figure that would take an ordinary person several lifetimes to accumulate.

Wang Ping'an came back to his senses from his complicated thoughts, a bitter self-deprecating smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

Then, he forced his shaky body to open the door.

The warm sunlight fell on his body, and the warmth made his originally cold body feel a long-lost comfort.

Then, he dragged his extremely weak body and staggered down the street.

After walking for a long time, he finally arrived at his destination - a funeral home called Xianjia Liyi.

The owner of the funeral home is a young man with a gentle face and handsome appearance.
