With a creaky sound, the door opened, and Shen He, who was as cold as snow, walked to Song Yinjian's side.

She raised her eyes to glance at the big men who were constantly hitting the ice wall with their weapons, and asked softly, "Junior brother, do you want to kill them all?"

Song Yinjian waved his hands hurriedly, "No need, someone will come and take care of them, there's no need to dirty our hands."

Shen He nodded slightly, then stretched out his slender white fingers and lightly tapped the air.

In an instant, the thickness of the ice wall increased sharply again, becoming even stronger and heavier. No matter how hard the group of men outside the wall attacked, the ice wall remained motionless.

Outside the shop, the exasperated general suddenly turned around and gave orders to the Qianyan Heavy Armored Army behind him: "Destroy the rituals of the Immortals and kill the evil thieves!"

Before he finished speaking, a purple flash of lightning suddenly flashed across.

Keqing, like a resounding purple hibiscus blossoming amidst the afterglow of lightning, clutched the gleaming, cold-shining Dragon Yin in the Box in her hand as she stood in front of the Immortal Family Etiquette Shop. She roared, "All of you, retreat!"

"Lord Yuheng, are you going to openly shield that evil villain?" The general looked directly at Keqing, his tone full of hostility and questioning.

Keqing raised her eyebrows, glared at him coldly, and rebuked him in a voice as cold as ice: "Zhiping, as Yuheng, I demand that you immediately withdraw with the Qianyan heavy army behind you.

The Qianyan Army is used to fight against evil, not to serve as dogs for the powerful!"

Zhiping showed no sign of backing down, and responded loudly and confidently, "Tianxuan, Tianji, and Yaoguang, the three masters have issued strict orders. Song Yinjian intentionally and maliciously injured someone and dared to openly defy the law. He deserves death.

Although he is a disciple of the immortals, he has actually fallen into the path of evil.

We have come here today on orders to completely eradicate this evil demon and restore peace to the people of Liyue."

After saying this, he raised his arm resolutely and shouted another order to the Qianyan heavy army behind him, which was like a torrent of steel: "Kill them! Anyone who dares to stand in the way of the law will be killed without mercy!"

As soon as the order was issued, the Qianyan army responded in unison, their voices shaking the sky. Then they all raised their extremely sharp spears and advanced steadily towards the Xian family's shop.

In a distant attic, Situ Yue leaned against the railing, watching the scene. Turning to Yao Guang beside her, he sighed sincerely, "As expected of the Qianyan Army! Even an immortal wouldn't be their match."

Yaoguang's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smug smile. "We've paid a huge price to control this Thousand Rocks army. Without them, how could we dare launch this attack?"

She paused, as if she suddenly remembered something, and asked, "By the way, where are those two guys, Tianxuan and Tianji?"

When Situ Yue heard these two names, her eyes were filled with disgust and contempt, "They are still learning Inazuma language in Zhudian Fang."

Yaoguang's good mood vanished instantly, and she cursed softly, "Two insects who are more likely to cause trouble than to help!"

Then, the two of them turned their attention back to the Xianjia Etiquette Shop.

At this time, Keqing was already in close combat with Qianyan's heavy army.

The dragon roar in the box in her hand was like a dragon emerging from the sea. Under the swirling illumination of lightning, wherever the sword passed, one soldier after another fell under her fierce attack.

However, the Qianyan army was like a fortress made of steel, and no one chose to retreat.

They moved forward silently and resolutely, facing Keqing, who was several times more powerful than them, pressing forward step by step, like a surging torrent of steel, ready to crush everything that stood in their way.

Although Keqing fought hard and fought ten people at once, two fists were no match for four hands. Under the rock-solid and continuous powerful offensive of Qianyan's army, her resistance gradually weakened.

She swayed and finally retreated, and could only watch as Qianyan's heavy troops poured into the store.

In the attic, Yaoguang and Situ Yue were overjoyed to see Qianyan's army break through Keqing's obstruction and rush into the Xianjia etiquette shop.

Yaoguang's lips curled up into a sly smile, the look of a successful scheme. Her voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement. "Keqing shielded criminals and bent the law for personal gain. How can she still be a Seven Star?"

When Situ Yue heard this, she finally understood why Yaoguang and others were so enthusiastic about this matter.

Their target was actually Keqing from the very beginning.

At this moment, a majestic voice suddenly sounded behind them, "Is that so? But I am the one in charge of the law, and you don't have the final say."

Yaoguang and Situ Yue were startled, their expressions changed suddenly, and they turned around quickly.

Ningguang stood in front of them with an indifferent expression.

Behind her, more than a dozen civil servants from the Criminal Law Department, dressed in uniform and with stern expressions, lined up in an orderly manner, adding a sense of solemnity and majesty.

Yaoguang stepped forward and advised, "Tianquan, you should know that Song Yinjian will definitely become the new Seven Stars. He has an immortal behind him, and he will compete with you in the future."

Ningguang simply responded, "So what? Although I do mind it a little, you guys disgust me even more."

Upon hearing this, Situ Yue forced a smile on her face. "Lord Tianquan, our Zhudianfang has provided you with so much business intelligence over the years. Could it be that you are truly so heartless?"

Ningguang's expression grew increasingly grim. "I didn't mean to do this, but your cousin told everyone I was involved in your Zhudianfang business. It's ridiculous that I, the great Tianquan, have become a brothel owner!"

When she said this, her eyes were so cold that it seemed as if they could freeze the air around them.

Situ Yue secretly cursed her cousin countless times in her heart and pleaded bitterly, "Master Tianquan, I will go back and cut off his tongue now.

Also, I have transferred 10% of the shares of Zhudianfang to your name. Please give me a chance."

Ningguang's eyebrows shot up in anger upon hearing this. "Fool! Your cousin was just talking, and you actually did something so foolish!"

Chapter 48 Who Wants to Be a Dog?

At noon, the scorching sun shone through the gaps in the heavy armor, baking Zhiping's body, making his already anxious heart even more anxious.

Seeing that Qianyan's army was unable to break through the ice wall, he gritted his teeth, made up his mind, turned around and said to his confidant beside him, "Go and pull out the nearest Guizhong Shenji cannon and raze the Immortal Ceremony to the ground."

The confidant was shocked when he heard this. He thought he had misheard, "Master Zhiping, absolutely not! The deployment of the Guizhong Divine Machine Cannon must be approved by all Seven Stars."

Zhiping waved his hand impatiently, veins popping out on his forehead. "I can't care less. If we fail, you and I will both be victims of this power struggle."

Seeing that he had made up his mind, his confidant stopped trying to persuade him and turned around and left with a team of a hundred people.

About half an hour later, a heavy and rhythmic "boom" sound was heard all around.

They were seen dragging a Guizhong Shenji cannon that was more than ten meters high.

The gun barrel was like a giant python raising its head, with a cold and eerie light shining from the mouth, gleaming icy in the sunlight, like a giant steel beast about to reveal its ferocious fangs, emitting a terrifying pressure.

Then, the team immediately began to adjust the angle of the cannon and pointed the muzzle at the Xianjia Etiquette Shop.

At this moment, in a teahouse in Liyue Harbor, Zhongli, who was leisurely sipping tea, frowned. He put down the teacup in his hand and said to Ganyu, who had been waiting for a long time behind him, "Go!"

As soon as the sound fell, Gan Yu instantly turned into a clear shadow and disappeared in a flash.

The next second, she appeared gracefully in front of the door of the immortal etiquette.

She walked lightly to Zhiping and stood in front of him. With a solemn expression, she announced, "The Emperor has decreed that Zhiping be removed from command of the Qianyan Heavy Army. All soldiers must return to camp immediately."

Upon hearing this, Zhiping froze in place. Then, holding onto a glimmer of hope, he asked, "Envoy Ganyu, you must have misheard the order! How could the Emperor possibly dismiss me from my position?"

Gan Yu frowned slightly and said with some displeasure, "I heard correctly. This is the decree issued by the Emperor."

Zhiping had completely given up hope, and the expression on his face changed constantly, with resentment, anger, despair, and all kinds of emotions intertwined and surging.

Suddenly, he drew the sword from his waist, his eyes flashing with a glint of almost insane determination, and he roared at the top of his voice, "Ganyu! How dare you falsely convey the Emperor's order? Your crime is unforgivable!"

After saying this, he turned to face the Qianyan heavy army behind him who were waiting in full battle array, and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Brothers, follow me and kill her."

But all he got in response was a dead, cold silence.

There was only doubt and disgust in the eyes of all the soldiers, even his closest confidants.

Zhiping's heart sank to the bottom of a valley. He raised his sword and slashed at Ganyu like a madman.

However, before he could get close, a dazzling purple lightning suddenly appeared and stopped him.

Keqing, who had recovered her breath, held the Dragon Sound in her box, her eyes icy as she asked, "Zhiping, why do you serve the rich and powerful like a dog?

Have you forgotten that a thousand rocks are solid and a heavy scepter is immovable?"

Zhiping held the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands, and the blade was deeply inserted into the ground to support his body. His eyes were wide open and he shouted loudly: "Everyone can blame me, but you can't!

You've become a Seven Star at such a young age. Do you think it's because of your talent and ability? Isn't it because of your good family background?

As for those of us who come from humble backgrounds, the greatest achievement we can achieve in this life is to be treated like dogs by you, the powerful and wealthy!!!"

At this point, he raised his sword high in the air and roared to the sky, "Fuck God!"

The hot blood splashed up in an instant, like tragic blood flowers blooming in the air, and then Zhiping's body collapsed powerlessly on the cold ground.

At this moment, Zhongli in the tea pavilion subconsciously clenched his fists. Zhiping's cry before death deeply hurt his heart.

He had to face a cruel reality: Liyue was the Liyue of the powerful and big businessmen, not the Liyue of ordinary people.

After Zhiping's death, all members of Qianyan's army returned to their own bases.

As soon as they left, only the big man from Zhudianfang was left in the courtyard of the shop, chopping and smashing the thick ice wall.

"Senior Sister, let's go to Aozang Mountain in two days!" Song Yinjian, who was a little bored, suggested to Shen He beside him.

Shen He nodded slightly and responded with one word: "Okay."

Song Yinjian tilted his head and thought for a moment before asking, "Senior Sister, should we bring something for her? She's been staying in Aozang Mountain all year long, and I think she must be quite bored."

Shen He shook his head, his tone a little confused, "I don't know."

Song Yinjian began to think about what to bring to his master, so that she would know his "evil intentions".

While he was thinking, a loud shout suddenly came from outside, "Brothers, run, the Qianyan Army is coming to attack us!" After hearing this, the big men ran away.

Soon, everything was gone, leaving only a mess.

Shen He waved his hand to disperse the ice wall, then turned and went into his room.

Song Yinjian felt that his young heart was frightened today and needed some comfort from his senior sister.

So, with a shameless face, he wanted to follow her into her boudoir.

But before his foot could reach the door, there was a muffled "bang" and the door was closed in front of him mercilessly.

Song Yinjian shrugged awkwardly and turned to walk out of the store.

Qianyan Zhongjun and Keqing had already left. Only Ganyu, dressed in plain clothes, stood quietly at the door, like a solitary ice lotus. Ganyu's wife walked forward and said gently, "Senior Sister Ganyu, I am your junior apprentice Song Yinjian."

Gan Yu tilted her head slightly upon hearing him. She looked him up and down, her icy blue eyes filled with curiosity and confusion. "Junior brother, how did you become my disciple with such poor qualifications?"

Song Yinjian replied angrily, "Master's eyesight is blurry and she made a mistake."

Gan Yu thought about it seriously, then shook her head slightly. "Master has always been very cautious when accepting disciples. It's impossible for him to make a mistake in his selection. Then, there is only one possibility: I made a mistake."

"Yes, yes, you've made a mistake." Song Yinjian followed her words.

Then, Gan Yu said apologetically, "Junior brother, I was busy with official duties before and didn't take good care of you. If you need any help in the future, please feel free to come to me."

Song Yinjian pondered for a moment and said, "I need your help with something right now."

"Please tell me! I will definitely help." There was a hint of joy in Ganyu's voice.

Song Yinjian pointed at his messy shop and said, "This is all done by the Qianyan Army. They have to pay for it!"

Chapter 49 I Like My Senior Sister and Master

"This counter is made of solid pear wood. It must have cost at least one million Mora."

"Look at this folding chair. Although it looks a bit ordinary, it has been with me for many years and is of great significance. 800,000 Mora is not a small price to pay."

"As for these wreaths, I won't ask for too much. I'll just charge the cost price, making it a total of 500,000 Mora."

Song Yinjian looked at the damaged items in the store one by one, counting on his fingers and giving a price with confidence.

Gan Yu remained focused from beginning to end, holding a notebook tightly in her hand as she meticulously recorded every detail of the damage report.

More than an hour passed, and almost every corner of the store had been searched, but there were no damaged items left to report.

Song Yinjian slapped his forehead and said seriously, "As for the emotional damages for the shop owner and staff, Senior Sister Shen He and I were frightened today and suffered great trauma. Five million Mora will be enough!"

Gan Yu almost lost her grip on the pen when she heard this. "Junior Brother, I see that you and Junior Sister Shen He are not affected at all."

Song Yinjian sighed deeply, his eyes slightly reddened, and he said in a plaintive tone, "Senior Sister Ganyu, I understand you. For your work, even if we suffer great injustice and are bullied in various ways, it doesn't matter in the slightest."

Upon hearing this, Gan Yu couldn't help but feel a surge of guilt, her face full of self-blame and regret. "I'm sorry, it was my fault, Senior Sister. I'll pay for your mental damages."

As he spoke, he wrote down the expense in the notebook with a stroke of his pen. Then, after thinking for a while, he changed the five million to ten million.

After some calculations, the total amount of compensation required was 100 million Mora.

Ganyu was shocked when she saw this number. With so many Moras, she could buy more than ten shops like Xianjia Liyi.

She hesitated. "Junior Brother, isn't that too much? Given Liyue's current financial situation, we simply can't afford such a large sum of money as compensation."

Song Yinjian raised his lips and replied confidently, "It's not much at all. Liyue's finances will soon be prosperous. One hundred million Mora is simply a drop in the bucket."

Ganyu's clear and pure eyes were filled with confusion.

Seeing this, Song Yinjian patiently explained, "Because Zhudian Fang and Qixing are going to collapse, their wealth will become a terrifying astronomical figure."

Gan Yu immediately understood, but then hesitated and said, "But I still need to consult the Emperor about the confiscation of property."
