Rosalyn's face instantly turned cold when she heard this.

If the Fatui have the ability to take down Sky Island, why would they bother to fulfill the contract with the Rock King to obtain the Heart of God?

"I'm negotiating with you seriously, so please adopt the proper negotiating attitude." There was a hint of suppressed anger in her tone.

Song Yinjian's smile faded, his expression turning cold. "Yesterday, the Fatui Executor Tartaglia came to kill Keqing and me. Is this what you Fatui call a negotiating attitude?"

Rosaline cursed Tartaglia in her heart, this stupid teammate who was more of a hindrance than an advantage.

As she expected, Song Yinjian really made a fuss about this matter.

She had no choice but to soften her tone and try to make her voice sound softer. "Boss Song, this is just a misunderstanding, and Tartaglia has already received the corresponding punishment."

Song Yinjian's face was stern, and he said coldly, "Misunderstanding? This is clearly a malicious murder against me by you, the Fatui!

I have completely seen through the ugly faces of you fools, and I will never let you obtain the Heart of God!"

Rosaline was furious upon hearing this. She spoke word for word, "The Fatui will stop at nothing to obtain the Heart of God, even if it means going to war with Liyue!"

"Then let us begin the battle! Even though you, Zhidong, overwhelm the mortal world with your immense power, our Liyue swords are no disadvantage!"

As he spoke, Song Yinjian stood up angrily and looked at Rosaline with a determined gaze.

Their eyes met, and Rosaline saw in his eyes a strength and toughness that the Liyue merchants did not have.

She realized that this man was not bluffing, he was really going to do whatever it took to launch an all-out war with Zhidong!

"what on earth do you want?"

After weighing the pros and cons in her mind, Rosaline chose to give in.

Song Yinjian said calmly, "For the next period of time, all of Liyue's Fatui, including you, must unconditionally obey all my arrangements.

Once this matter is resolved, I will hand over the Emperor's Heart of God to you."

Rosalyn thought seriously for a moment, then said cautiously, "I can promise you, but only if it doesn't harm the interests of the Fatui."

Song Yinjian's lips curled up slightly upon hearing this, and he looked at her with a half-smile. "There are many things in this world that require someone to take the blame, and your past crimes as a Fatui are too numerous to list. Naturally, you are the most suitable ones to take the blame."

When Rosalin heard this, she felt as sick as if she had eaten a fly.

If it weren't for the Heart of God, he would have taken out a whip burning with flames and severely whipped the hateful man in front of him.

However, in the end she had no choice but to agree.

....................................

After a brief period of calm, the situation in Liyue suddenly became turbulent again.

At today's Seven Stars Conference, Ningguang reminded Uncle Tian intentionally or unintentionally that he was now at an age where he should enjoy his retirement.

Uncle Tian immediately expressed his willingness to retire and give up the position of Seven Stars.

The reason for his retirement was not that he was too old to fulfill the duties of a Seven Star, but that his daughter Huixin had become a Seven Star.

If I still occupy this position, I will be at a loss as to how to advance or retreat.

Not long after, the news of Tianshu's impending retirement spread among Liyue's upper circles at an extremely fast speed, as if it was deliberately condoned by someone.

Many people's minds instantly became active.

After hearing the news, Tianshu's three disciples - Gan Wei, Mingbo and Zhiyi - all prepared gifts of varying sizes and came to visit.

It's clear they really want to improve.

Uncle Tian sat on an antique chair, feeling a headache as he looked at his three apprentices who kept asking about his well-being.

He really wanted to tell them directly that none of them had any hope of becoming Seven Stars.

After all, her daughter Huixin is already one of the Seven Stars. In this case, how could Ningguang and the others allow their apprentice to take over their position as Seven Stars?

Otherwise, it will not only attract criticism, but also make the current political situation unstable.

But when the words came to my lips, I couldn't say them.

After all, they are master and disciple, and their friendship has been deep for many years. How could he say such words that would make them despair?

He struggled with this for a long time before finally saying to the three of them very tactfully, "You three all possess great talent, but you still need more experience."

Uncle Tian thought that his tactful expression would make them understand.

But who would have thought that as soon as he finished speaking, the eldest disciple Gan Wei could not wait to step forward and said with a somewhat proud look on his face: "Master, my talents can only be fully displayed in a higher position. Let me have good experience in that position!"

When the obese second disciple Mingbo heard this, he immediately said, "Master, I have been working in the General Affairs Department for nine years and have handled 2,317 cases.

I feel I have gained enough experience to be able to take on more challenging work.”

In stark contrast to his two senior brothers, the third disciple, Zhiyi, was not as active as them. Instead, he lowered his head slightly and said humbly and politely, "Master, your teaching is correct."

When Uncle Tian heard Zhiyi's response, he couldn't help but feel relieved.

But then he changed his mind and secretly sighed what a pity.

If his daughter had not unexpectedly become a Seven Star, Zhiyi would undoubtedly be the most suitable successor.

Finally, he sighed softly and said with a slightly tired look, "Forget it, all of you take your gifts and go back.

This matter is not something I can decide on my own, but rest assured, the three of you, I will recommend you at the Seven Star Conference."

Gan Wei and Ming Bo wanted to say something more, trying to gain more opportunities for themselves.

However, Uncle Tian was constantly waving his hands to signal them to leave with a firm attitude. The two had no choice but to turn around and leave unwillingly.

Zhiyi still maintained a respectful attitude, bowed deeply to Uncle Tian, ​​and then silently followed the backs of his two senior brothers and left.

Chapter 82 Recruiting Summer Jobs

"That old guy didn't really intend to recommend us!"

On the way back, Gan Wei's face was full of anger, and he spoke angrily to the two junior brothers beside him.

Mingbo was a little puzzled and tried to persuade him, "Brother, didn't Master promise to recommend us?"

"Junior Brother, have you been in the General Affairs Department for too long and become stupid?" Gan Wei's tone was filled with sarcasm and anger. "If he really wanted to recommend us, he would have asked Junior Sister Huixin to recommend us as well. A joint recommendation from two Seven Stars would have more weight."

Ming Bo understood immediately after hearing this and immediately suggested, "Then let's go find Junior Sister!"

When Gan Wei heard his suggestion, he quickened his pace and walked forward, not wanting to waste any more time explaining to him.

Mingbo looked very embarrassed, but he couldn't understand why his senior brother reacted like that.

At this moment, Zhiyi, who was behind him, saw this scene, stepped forward, and calmly explained the reason, "Brother Mingbo, if we go to visit Junior Sister, others will think we are going through the back door.

To avoid suspicion, Junior Sister will not only refuse to see us, but will also oppose us taking over as Tianshu."

After hearing this explanation, Mingbo finally understood the interests involved.

Then, he asked in confusion, "So what should we do now?"

Zhiyi sighed softly, with a look of helplessness and relief in his eyes, "Brother, don't do anything. We have no hope of becoming one of the Seven Stars."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gan Wei, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, turned around abruptly, stared at Zhiyi, and said, "Zhiyi, you are a smart person.

You and I both know that if Huixin doesn't become Tianjixing, then one of us will definitely take over as Tianshu."

Zhiyi said calmly, "Brother, please be more open-minded.

In this world, if something is destined to happen, it will happen eventually; if it is not destined to happen, don’t force it.”

Gan Wei looked at him deeply and sneered, "Can you really let it go?

You clearly knew in your heart that there was no hope, yet you still came to visit the Master with gifts like the rest of us.

Why do you have to pretend to be so open-minded in front of me?"

Zhiyi sighed helplessly and replied, "Brother, in life, there are always some things that need to be tried, otherwise, how can you be content when you look back on them in the future?

Now that I know the outcome, I can only try my best to comfort myself and accept the fact."

Gan Wei snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "I won't give up as easily as you!"

After saying that, he turned around resolutely and strode forward.

Mingbo looked at Gan Wei's unwilling figure as he walked away, and said to Zhiyi, "Junior brother, you still have a good attitude."

Zhiyi just smiled and didn't reply, looking very free and easy.

However, deep in his eyes, there was a deep resentment hidden.

I have come this far from being a very poor rural child, and have experienced countless hardships along the way.

I was just one step away from becoming a seven-star, how could I be willing to give up?

..........................................

As the days passed, Liyue's annual Seven Stars Summoning Ceremony was about to begin in less than ten days.

Merchants from all over Liyue flocked to Liyue Harbor, striving to hear the oracle of the Geo Emperor in person as soon as possible so that they could adjust their business direction and strategy for the coming year accordingly.

Their massive influx made the already bustling Liyue Harbor even more bustling and noisy.

On the ancient street, a blonde girl was walking slowly along with the crowd surging like a tide.

Her bright eyes sparkled with curiosity as she kept looking around at this strange city.

Beside her, the cute "emergency food" Paimon was floating happily, looking around from time to time, full of interest in everything around him.

Paimon said, "Traveler, do you know? The Rock King is the most ancient god in the world. Perhaps he knows news about your brother."

Ying thought for a moment and asked, "But how can we meet the Emperor of Rock?"

Upon hearing this, Paimeng immediately put his hands on his hips, his face full of pride, and answered excitedly, "Hey, clever Paimeng has just found out that the Seven Stars Summoning Immortal Ceremony will be held in a few days, and then the Rock King Emperor will send down the oracle.

This is a great opportunity for us to meet him.”

Ying's eyes lit up when she heard the suggestion, and she nodded and said, "Okay, let's do it."

"Well, before that, let's go treat ourselves. Look, we haven't eaten yet!"

Paimon said, his eyes full of anticipation for the delicious food, and he even swallowed unconsciously, "Liyue cuisine is the most delicious food in the mortal world."

Ying was about to agree immediately, but she suddenly thought of her empty wallet and said awkwardly: "Paimeng, how about we go hunting in the wild?"

When Paimon heard this, his face instantly wrinkled up, and he looked bitter. "Traveler, I really don't want to eat that awful barbecue anymore. We've been eating it for many days."

Ying didn't really want to eat barbecue either. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Then we can only go to the Adventurer's Guild to accept the commission."

Afterwards, she took Paimon to the Adventurer's Guild, where they were greeted by their old acquaintance Catherine.

Ying walked to the task release board and carefully read all the commissions being released, but she was very disappointed.

These missions either require traveling to distant places, where the journey is dangerous and time-consuming; or the missions are extremely difficult and difficult to complete successfully.

Just when she was about to give up, she caught a glimpse of a strange sign out of the corner of her eye.

She looked carefully and saw that it said: Xianjia Etiquette is recruiting summer workers, with generous benefits and daily wages.

"Ms. Catherine, what's going on with that sign?" Ying asked Catherine in confusion.

Catherine still had that formal smile on her face as she patiently replied, "This is a job posting from Immortal disciple Song Yinjian."

"A job posting?" Ying was still confused. "Why doesn't it list the specific job description?"

Catherine replied calmly, "Because this immortal family's rituals are mainly used to handle funeral-related matters."

After listening to this, Ying hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to take the job.

Although it's a bit unlucky, at least I get paid daily.

Then, she followed the address Catherine gave her and searched all the way until she finally arrived at a shop that looked a bit shabby.

At this time, a young and handsome man was pulling a donkey cart with his left hand and a fairy-like woman with his right hand. It seemed that he was going out to take on business.

Ying hurried forward and said, "Boss Song, I'm Ying, a traveler who wants to work here as a summer intern." Ying's wife

Chapter 83 Ying's Summer Job 1

Song Yinjian looked at the girl in front of him who seemed both familiar and unfamiliar. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile. "Then come with me now!"

Ying nodded slightly and followed him.

The few of them walked forward for about an hour and stopped in front of an extremely remote and slightly dilapidated house outside the city.

Before getting close to the house, you can smell an extremely strong and pungent stench coming from the house.
