While shouting, he let his greedy eyes wander freely over Alyssa's body without any scruples.

A hint of deep despair and sorrow flashed across Alyssa's eyes. She forced herself to remain calm and said, "Mr. Zhang Qiang, please wait a moment. My daughter has just fallen asleep. I'll put her to bed first and then discuss this matter with you."

Zhang Qiang's face was full of impatience. He waved his hand and said, "Hurry up! Don't waste my time!"

Alyssa hurriedly hugged her daughter and walked quickly into the inner room.

Witnessing this scene, Song Yinjian, Zhongli and others all frowned.

At this moment, Zhang Qiang's eyes turned and fell on them.

When he saw Shen He's extraordinary and cool appearance, his eyes widened, full of amazement and greed, and he looked at Shen He's graceful body again and again without restraint.

Song Yinjian's face instantly turned gloomy, and a chilling murderous intent emanated from his entire body.

But he didn't attack immediately. He quietly blocked Zhang Qiang's sight and asked, "Mr. Zhang Qiang, which chamber of commerce are you from?"

Zhang Qiang heard this and said arrogantly, "Don't worry about which chamber of commerce I belong to. I can only tell you that you are not to be trifled with."

Song Yinjian's lips curled up slightly, revealing a seemingly gentle smile. "I have a close relationship with Yuheng Star Keqing. Do I have the qualifications to know?"

Zhang Qiang frowned slightly and hesitated for a moment, but his arrogance did not diminish at all. "Although Yuheng is quite impressive, he is still not good enough."

Song Yinjian pointed at the calm Zhongli, "This gentleman is a guest official of the Rebirth Hall and is familiar with Tianquan. Does he have the qualifications?"

Zhang Qiang's expression changed, and he snorted angrily, "How could you possibly know Tianquan? Even if you do, let me tell you, Tianquan is also involved in my family's business."

As soon as these words were spoken, a gleam of light flashed in Zhongli's eyes. It was obvious that he could not tolerate Tianquan's involvement.

Song Yinjian knew where he came from and said calmly, "Zhang Qiang, I already know where you come from. My name is Song Yinjian, and I am a disciple of an immortal family. The immortal Ganyu is my senior sister, and Keqing is my good friend.

Go back today and inform your boss. I will come to visit you soon."

Zhang Qiang pretended not to hear anything, still stiffening his neck with a look of disdain on his face, "You are just a disciple of the immortal family, what are you? Today, Alyssa must either pay back the money or come with me."

At this time, Alyssa walked out of the room and pleaded with Zhang Qiang, "Mr. Zhang Qiang, I will definitely pay you back. Please give me some time."

Zhang Qiang ruthlessly refused, "Give us some time? Do you think we're doing charity?"

After saying that, he suddenly stretched out his big hand like a palm-leaf fan, as if he was about to grab Alyssa viciously.

Song Yinjian could no longer bear it, so he gathered his spiritual power in his palm and slapped him hard on his fat and fleshy cheek.

There was a loud "bang" and Zhang Qiang's head was thrown violently. He staggered several steps before he could barely steady himself. A red and swollen palm print had already appeared on his face, and a trace of blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth.

He stared at Song Yinjian in fury and said bitterly, "How dare you hit me! I'm going to kill you and rape all the women in your family!"

Chapter 43 Leave me alone

Song Yinjian pressed closer and closer to Zhang Qiang with an expressionless face. The murderous aura surrounding him became stronger and stronger. Then, in front of Zhang Qiang's terrified and fearful eyes, he slapped him again.

This slap was even more powerful, causing Zhang Qiang to see stars and spit out blood.

Song Yinjian did not stop there. He slapped his swollen face again and again, and soon his face was swollen like a steamed bun.

Finally, Zhang Qiang's eyes rolled back and he fell to the ground with a thud.

But even so, the violent anger in Song Yinjian's heart still had not been completely vented.

He glanced around and caught sight of the old folding chair in the corner. He immediately strode forward, grabbed it, raised both hands high, and as if wielding a battle axe, "crack", smashed it towards Zhang Qiang's back with a tremendous force.

Every time he fell, there was a sound of flesh being torn apart, and blood and flesh splattered everywhere. In a moment, Zhang Qiang's clothes on his back were torn and his flesh was covered in blood.

The group of big men who followed Zhang Qiang stood there in a daze, their faces pale with fear and their legs weak.

They could never have imagined that this seemingly handsome, gentle and harmless young man could be so ferocious and ruthless when he attacked.

They wanted to stop him, but seeing how ferocious Song Yinjian looked, they were instantly filled with fear and didn't dare to take a single step forward.

At this moment, Shen He's cold voice came from behind Song Yinjian, "Junior brother, stop it!"

He stopped moving abruptly, and casually tossed the blood-stained, sawdust-filled folding chair aside. He turned around, the anger on his face completely fading, replaced by a smile as warm as the sun. "Okay, I'll listen to you, Senior Sister."

Shen Helian took a few steps and walked in front of him. She looked up at him and said, "Junior brother, this is a bit cumbersome."

After she finished speaking, she raised her hand lightly, and a crystal clear ice sword emitting a cold light quickly formed in her palm.

Then, with a slight wave of his white wrist, the ice sword, wrapped in bone-chilling coldness, pierced straight into Zhang Qiang, who was unconscious on the ground.

Just when the ice sword was about to pierce his body, it was suddenly blocked by a gentle fairy power.

Seeing this, Song Yinjian and Shen He turned to look at Li Shui.

Li Shui stood with his hands behind his back, saying leisurely, "It's best for cultivators to avoid these causalities, as they are detrimental to their cultivation."

Song Yinjian and Shen He nodded slightly.

Shen He waved her hand again, and the ice sword melted like ice and snow, turning into wisps of cold mist and dissipating into nothingness.

Li Shui continued, "This kind of thing still needs your uncle to handle. This immortal is not afraid of being involved in these karmas."

After saying this, he summoned hundreds of talismans flashing with various lights from his sleeves, instantly illuminating the originally small and dim residence as bright as day.

He cursed angrily, "How dare you bully my nephew? Then face my wrath!"

Song Yinjian was a little stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that his uncle would be so violent.

If all these Fu Lu attacks were really unleashed, this entire street would be razed to the ground.

Fortunately, Zhongli intervened in time, "Lishui! I will handle this matter properly."

Upon hearing this, Li Shui snorted in dissatisfaction, but still put Fu Lu away.

Zhongli glanced at Zhang Qiang lying on the ground with disgust, then stepped forward and kicked him in front of the big men who were frightened and pale.

Several big men hurriedly caught Zhang Qiang, and then fled without looking back.

After their figures disappeared from sight, Alyssa looked worried and guilty, “Thank you for your rescue, but it’s not worth offending them for me. Their power is really terrifying.

You should leave Liyue Harbor immediately and stay out of the spotlight!"

Upon hearing this, Song Yinjian said in a relaxed tone, "Don't worry, I'm a disciple of the Immortal Family, and I have someone above me.

You, on the other hand, are in great danger right now. I will send you to my friend's house to keep you safe."

Alyssa was still very worried, but she had no choice but to agree.

Afterwards, Song Yinjian brought Alyssa and her daughter to Keqing's house.

At the gate of the house decorated with carved beams and painted rafters, Keqing stood tall with her arms folded across her chest, a look of resentment lingering in her eyes. "You only come to me when you have something to do. Tell me, what's going on this time?"

Song Yinjian was a little confused.

However, now is obviously not the time to dwell on this. He briefly told Keqing about Alyssa's situation and asked her to place the mother and daughter in her home.

Keqing agreed immediately, then asked, "Who's behind that group? Even Ningguang is involved in his family's business?"

Song Yinjian didn't say much, he just raised his arm, stretched out his finger, and lightly pointed in a certain direction of Liyue Harbor.

Keqing understood immediately upon seeing this, a cold expression covering her pretty face. "It's indeed those guys. I've said many times at the Seven Star Conference that we want to eliminate them, but every time I've been met with unanimous opposition from Kaiyang and his insects.

At the Seven Stars Conference tomorrow, I will report this to the Immortal Envoy Ganyu and ask the Emperor to completely eradicate these filthy fellows!"

Song Yinjian waved his hand and said, "Master Ke, the Emperor is already aware of this matter. I estimate there will be a result in the next two days."

When Keqing heard this, the tense expression on her face relaxed a little. She subconsciously raised her eyes and looked at Song Yinjian in front of her.

In an instant, their eyes met inadvertently.

Each of them seemed to have something to say, but didn't know where to start. The scene fell into a slightly awkward silence, with only the rustling sound of the breeze brushing against their sleeves.

Fortunately, Alyssa broke the deadlock at the right time. She said softly, "In that case, I'll trouble you today, Miss Keqing."

A gentle smile instantly spread across Keqing's face, and she said softly, "It's not a big deal. You and your daughter can stay here peacefully."

After saying that, he gently took Alyssa's hand and walked into the house.

Just as she was about to cross the threshold, Keqing seemed to suddenly remember something and turned her head back, only to see Song Yinjian still standing there in a daze.

She felt an inexplicable surge of anger in her heart and glared at him angrily.

Song Yinjian shrugged innocently.

Chapter 44: Make the world a better place

The moonlight is like a crescent silver hook, and its clear light falls on the quiet courtyard of the fairy shop.

Song Yinjian, Li Shui and Zhongli sat around the stone table. There were delicious dishes on the table and the wine jugs were full. They were eating and chatting happily.

Li Shui picked up the wine glass, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. He wiped his mouth and said loudly: "I'm done, you two can do whatever you want!"

Song Yinjian showed a helpless look on his face. He was his uncle and his elder. How could he just do as he pleased if he did it?

So, I had to pick up the wine glass in front of me and drink it in one gulp.

Zhongli actually preferred to sip the wine slowly and savor its flavor, but since both of them had done it, he had no choice but to follow suit.

In an instant, the unique fragrance of white wine, wrapped in a spicy taste, spread through the stomachs of the three people. Their bodies seemed to have been relieved of a burden, and all the troubles of the world were like light smoke, drifting away slowly.

Li Shui picked up a piece of his favorite crispy tofu. The fresh, fragrant and tender taste made him unable to stop eating. He felt that becoming an immortal for thousands of years was not as good as the happiness he had today.

Then, he filled another glass of wine, a few crystal drops of wine splashed out, his face flushed, and he spoke in a loud voice: "I'm not bragging to you, when I was young, I would have chopped all those bastards into pieces..."

Song Yinjian and Zhongli ate their food while listening to him brag, occasionally agreeing with him.

After drinking several glasses of liquor, Li Shui was already drunk. He completely ignored his manners, raised his hand to fill the glass, and poured one glass after another into his mouth.

Soon, he was so drunk that his body was staggering. He suddenly grabbed Song Yinjian's hand tightly and said in a slurred voice, "Master... nephew, I have had a very hard time these past few years. Guizhong is gone, Yixiao is gone, Minghai is gone too. They just left me like that."

After listening to this, Zhongli silently picked up a glass of wine and drank it, but the wine suddenly tasted a little bitter.

Those people were his best friends, so weren't they also his best friends? Moreover, they were still his in the end...

Li Shui looked at Song Yinjian with drunken eyes and muttered, "Nephew, I will do everything I can to help you break through the realm and let you and your Senior Sister Shen He stay together forever."

Song Yinjian's heart warmed, and he said in a steady and firm voice, "Uncle Master, don't worry, I will definitely break through."

Li Shui nodded vigorously, loosened his hand and continued drinking, but as he drank, he couldn't help crying again.

"Guizhong, Yixiao, Minghai, I really miss you all so much..."

They cried and made a fuss until midnight.

Zhongli sighed softly and cast a spell to send him back to his own cave.

After Li Shui left, the courtyard became quiet.

Song Yinjian quickly cleared the table, then carefully brewed two cups of fragrant tea. Steam rose from the tea, and the fragrance of the tea lingered in the air, as if to add some comfort to this cold night.

"Emperor, this is the new Shenyu Xian Tea I bought at the big tea shop. It's absolutely authentic."

Zhongli picked up the teacup, took a sip, and shook his head slightly. "It must be the soil and water in Chenyu Valley that's causing the problem. Boss Song, if you have time, why not go over there and investigate?"

Upon hearing this, Song Yinjian immediately evaded the question, "Are the seven stars of Liyue just sitting there doing nothing? They can't even handle such a trivial matter?"

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Zhongli's face.

No matter what, this matter should be resolved by the Liyue Seven Stars.

He coughed lightly, then quickly changed the subject, "Boss Song, what do you think we should do with this group of people today?

Song Yinjian raised his eyebrows, a resolute coldness flashed in his eyes, "Of course I will kill them all."

Zhongli was startled, then shook his head slightly, "Too many people were involved, and the killing was excessive."

Song Yinjian let out a sarcastic smile and asked bluntly, "So, you're just going to let that cancer continue to exist?

By now, they have become so powerful that even Tianquan Ningguang has to play along with them."

Zhongli lowered his eyes and fell into a long silence. After a moment, he raised his eyes to the night sky and said slowly, "Its existence is not entirely a bad thing. It is the biggest contributor to Liyue Harbor's taxes every year, accounting for a full one-fifth of the total tax revenue.

Moreover, many helpless women also rely on it to survive.”

When Song Yinjian heard this, his brows couldn't help but frown.

He discovered that Liyue's problems were much more serious than he had imagined. Liyue Harbor, as the most prosperous commercial city in the world, actually relied on that industry to support its tax revenue.

Liyue is essentially a fat man with bloat. He looks big, but is hollow inside.

No wonder in the original plot, Zhongli was obviously the most powerful earthly ruler in the world, but had to give in to Zhidong.

After a long while, he said sternly, "Emperor, I still stick to my opinion. This cancer must be eradicated completely.

Firstly, it has become a deformed product of the combination of power and wealth. What is being forced upon Alyssa today is not accidental.
