She said coldly, "Do you really think this immortal is ignorant of worldly matters? I'm telling you, you traitor, the price of rice is one hundred molas per pound."

Song Yinjian smiled calmly, looked into her eyes calmly, and said slowly: "Master, you are right.

But this was the price twenty years ago. Ever since the Great Chamber of Commerce monopolized Liyue's grain industry, the price of rice has been rising by nearly 10% every year.

By this spring, the price of rice had risen to 500 moras per pound.

But now, after the reform, it is fifty molas per pound."

After hearing these words, Liu Yun's anger suddenly dissipated.

I don’t even know the price of the most basic food. Isn’t this just ignorance of worldly affairs?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, and her tone of voice softened. "Master has indeed been away from the world for a long time, and is not really suitable to serve as Tianshu."

As he spoke, he looked at Song Yinjian with a hint of apology in his eyes.

Song Yinjian shook his head and said, "No, Master, although you may not be very knowledgeable about worldly affairs, in my heart, you are the best candidate to serve as Tianshu."

Liu Yun looked puzzled and asked, "What does this mean?"

Song Yinjian replied seriously, "Master, if you live in Liyue Harbor for a while, you'll naturally become familiar with the mundane world. And with your abilities, handling Tianshu's work will naturally be easy."

After hearing what he said, Liu Yun was about to agree.

After all, he had already agreed to take the position of Tianshu. The reason he hadn't gone there was that he couldn't let go of his arrogance as an immortal.

But at this moment, she suddenly seemed to be struck by a flash of inspiration, and suddenly realized that she had fallen into the trap of this traitor's provocation. She immediately said angrily: "Traitor, how dare you use such a despicable method as provocation to plot against your master? Let me tell you, your master will not take up this position of Tianshu!"

Song Yinjian's expression remained calm, and he was not at all surprised that his plan was seen through.

He shrugged his shoulders and acted indifferent, "Since Master is unwilling to take on the position of Tianshu, I will not force you.

But Ningguang will gossip again at the Seven Stars Conference, and then I really can't argue on your behalf."

When Liu Yun heard this, the image of Ningguang mocking him flashed through his mind, and he immediately became furious. "How dare she!"

Song Yinjian then added fuel to the fire, "Master, please don't come to Liyue Harbor every Lantern Festival. Ningguang will definitely say something unpleasant."

Liu Yun could no longer bear it and said, "I will take over as the Heavenly Priest. I will make sure she has a good look at my methods and abilities!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately realized that he had fallen into Song Yinjian's provocation again.

She couldn't help but glare at him angrily, "Traitor!"

Song Yinjian looked at her tenderly, his eyes filled with undisguised love.

Liu Yun was stared at by him with such a straightforward gaze, and she felt inexplicably flustered.

She snorted coldly, turned around, and instantly turned into a white crane, flying away at a rapid speed.

Song Yinjian looked at her leaving figure, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, outlining a smile of success.

At this time, Shen He walked over slowly with elegant and light steps.

After she walked to Song Yinjian's side, she said softly, "Junior brother, don't always make Master angry."

Song Yinjian smiled and responded, "If you don't make her angry, you will never be able to reach her heart."

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

When Liuyun returned to Aozang Mountain, the afterglow of the setting sun had dyed the entire mountain orange-red. The mountain scenery looked even more peaceful and beautiful against the backdrop of this warm color.

From a distance, she saw Ganyu still sitting quietly beside the stone table waiting for her, and she couldn't help feeling warm in her heart. This disciple of hers was really considerate.

"Master, when will you go to live in Liyue Harbor?" Seeing Liuyun return, Ganyu immediately stood up and asked.

Liu Yun wanted to refuse outright, but when he saw Ganyu's eyes full of expectation, he changed his tone and said, "Maybe after a while. Uh... By the way, how much Mora would it cost to rent a nice house in Liyue Harbor?"

Ganyu thought for a moment, then replied seriously, "If Master wants a quiet and elegant courtyard, the rent would be about 100,000 Mora a month."

When Liu Yun heard this, his expression froze. It seemed that his Mora was only enough to live in Liyue for one or two months.

"Master, don't worry. Junior Brother Yin Jian recently bought a large courtyard that's perfect for us to live in."

"Rebel!"

Chapter 112: Idle Clouds Emerge from the Mountain

In the morning, Shao Zu, a young businessman who buys and sells rare antiques, was sitting behind the counter, reading the recently popular novel "Legend of the Immortal Yakshas" in his hand, engrossed in reading.

Although he has read this novel many times, every time he opens it to read, his eyes can't help but turn red.

Just when he was completely immersed in the plot, the door of the shop was gently pushed open, and a woman with an ethereal and noble temperament walked in with elegant steps.

She has a slim figure and is wearing a black silk tight-fitting bodysuit. The material fits her body perfectly, outlining her graceful curves.

When Shaozu heard the noise, he quickly closed the novel, sorted out his emotions, stood up, walked forward quickly, and asked enthusiastically, "Hello, ma'am, what can I do for you?"

The woman's expression was calm. She opened her lips slightly and replied, "I'm planning to sell a batch of mechanisms made by the immortals."

Shao Zu was immediately interested when he heard this and asked, "Can I take a look?"

The woman didn't say much. She just waved her hand, and in an instant, three large boxes appeared out of thin air in the store. Then, the boxes opened automatically as if they had heard some instructions, and with a "creak", revealed the mechanism inside.

When Shaozu saw this scene, he was so excited that his eyes lit up. He was immediately sure that he had met a real immortal.

Then he walked to the box, bent down, and looked closely at the mechanisms.

But after looking at it for a long time, I still couldn't figure out the general idea.

So he stood up again, bowed to the woman and asked politely, "Could you please introduce these mechanisms to me?"

The woman raised her chin slightly, and with a hint of pride and pride, began to introduce the mechanisms she made one by one.

"This thing is called the Mechanical Cooking Machine. As long as you inject a little spiritual energy into it, it will automatically start to work. In a short while, it can cook the ingredients into delicious dishes."

"This item is called the Cloud Sound Music Box. When you inject spiritual energy into it, it will play beautiful music that soothes the body and mind. The music is ethereal and pleasant, and can make people forget all their worries."

"..."

Shao Zu listened attentively at first, but after a while, his brows gradually furrowed. He couldn't help but interrupt her introduction and said, "My Immortal Master, the mechanisms you described do sound powerful. But are there any Immortal mechanisms that don't require spiritual energy?"

The woman's smug expression instantly vanished upon hearing this, replaced by an awkward expression. She said, "How can there be a fairy mechanism that doesn't require spiritual power to operate?"

Shao Zu suddenly lost interest, his high spirits fading away. He sighed slightly and said, "I'm sorry, since ordinary people can't use these mechanisms, I can only buy them at a relatively low price."

The woman was very disappointed. She had thought she could get a good price with these tricks.

But she still held a glimmer of hope and asked, "How much can you offer?"

Shao Zu weighed the pros and cons in his mind, then quoted a low price, "Ten thousand Mora."

When the woman heard the price, she was furious. She never thought that the mechanism she had carefully made was only worth such a small amount of money. This was simply a humiliation to her.

She said with a hint of anger in her voice, "This is a fairy device made by True Monarch Liuyun Jiefeng. How could it be worth so little?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shao Zu's attitude immediately changed 180 degrees. His face was full of surprise and eagerness. He asked anxiously, "You said this is a mechanism made by True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng?"

The woman felt a little proud when she saw this. It seemed that she was quite famous in Liyue. She nodded calmly, "She made it herself."

Shao Zu's face suddenly showed a joyful smile, "I didn't expect that it was a mechanism made by Master Song Xianshi! I am willing to pay 200,000 Mora."

The agency's purchase price suddenly increased twenty times, but there was no trace of a smile on the woman's face.

She frowned slightly and asked indifferently, "Why? Is it just because she's Song Yinjian's master?"

Shao Zu said as a matter of course: “Yes, Master Song not only provides a lot of benefits, but also often helps the poor deal with funeral affairs for free.

Soon after, the reforms he initiated allowed the people of Liyue to truly live a better life."

Having said this, his expression became more reverent. He walked to the cabinet beside him, reached out and picked up "Legend of the Immortal Yakshas" to show the woman.

"Master Song is also very talented. This peerless novel is his creation."

The woman was stunned for a long time, feeling mixed emotions. She never knew that this traitor could be so outstanding.

She sighed secretly, waved her hand, and put away all the mechanisms.

Instead of making money by using his master's name, it would be better to live in his courtyard directly.

"This Immortal, please don't keep it. I can offer a higher price."

Shaozu became a little anxious when he saw this.

The woman shook her head and turned away.

After leaving the shop, she strolled alone on the bustling streets of Liyue.

There are shops on both sides of the street, and people are coming and going, which is very lively. Various shouts and conversations are intertwined, forming a picture of the city full of fireworks.

As she walked, she suddenly saw a very familiar old figure in a quiet corner.

The figure was slightly hunched, sitting in front of a small stall, fiddling with something.

The woman walked up and said with a complicated expression, "A Ping, are you okay?"

Chapter 113: Rice Wife's Past

Midsummer has passed, but there is still some lingering heat in the air.

The streets of Inazuma Castle, which were always deserted in the past, were now extremely lively, with countless people rushing towards the castle tower from all directions.

Among this surging crowd, the dignified and beautiful Kamisato Ayaka was also among them.

She had a graceful figure, her steps light yet dignified. Her delicate face wore a hint of worry, her eyes revealing a complex emotion. She moved slowly forward with the crowd. "I am Kamisato Ayaka's dog." Soon after, she arrived in front of the castle tower.

At this moment, on the wooden platform beneath the towering and majestic Thousand-Armed and Hundred-Eyed Statue, a duel before the emperor was about to begin.

The one who challenged the duel was a young, handsome warrior in red. He stood tall and straight like a pine tree, holding a one-handed sword, and looked firmly at his opponent - Kujo Sara, a devout believer in God.

When Kamisato Ayaka saw this scene, she sighed inwardly.

The audience in the audience was getting a little impatient and began to urge the duel to proceed quickly.

At the urging of the audience, Kujo Sara drew his sword from his waist. With a "swish", the sharp blade was unsheathed, reflecting a cold light under the sunlight.

She looked at the red warrior with a hint of regret in her eyes, "If you give up the duel now, I can guarantee that you will not die."

The red warrior chuckled and replied, "Since you have chosen your own path, you should move forward courageously."

"But you will die!" Kujo Sara frowned.

The red warrior, with a carefree smile on his face, said loudly: "Instead of living a mediocre life, it is better to be a warrior for a moment, just to awaken the ignorant and numb people.

Inazuma needs someone to step forward now, even at the cost of their own life, to let everyone see the rottenness within!

As he spoke, he raised his one-handed sword, the tip of the sword pointing directly at Kujo Sara, "There will always be creatures on earth who dare to face the power of thunder!"

Immediately afterwards, a fierce battle broke out!

The battle ended quickly. After only two or three rounds, the warrior in red voluntarily admitted defeat. He wanted to be in better condition to face Wuxiang's sword.

The audience in the audience saw that the performance ended so abruptly and started to insult him.

"Humph, you dare to come to the emperor to duel with such little ability? You're wasting our time!"

"It's so hot, we came all the way here to see the fun, and this is what we get?"

All kinds of unpleasant words were uttered one after another, and these people just regarded it as a farce for entertainment.

At this moment, Kamisato Ayaka, who was standing in the crowd, only felt sad.

Ignorant people, foolish rulers, and corrupt aristocrats.

The entire Inazuma is gradually moving towards the eternity that the god hopes for, and is becoming a country like stagnant water.

Then, General Lei Dian, with an indifferent expression, walked up to the loser with steady steps.

A flash of majestic lightning passed by, and all that was left on the wooden platform was a broken blade and a dim eye of the thunder god.

Kujo Sara stepped forward, ready to put away the Eye of God.

At this moment, a white-haired young warrior suddenly rushed out from the crowd, snatched the Eye of God in front of Kujo Sara at lightning speed, and then ran away at a speed as fast as a streak of light.

Kamisato Ayaka recognized the young warrior's identity at a glance. The maple leaf badge that the young man was wearing was too obvious.

Without any hesitation, she turned around and walked quickly towards her own Mulou Teahouse.

As soon as she entered the tea room, she quickly said a few words to the people inside before turning and leaving.

Walking on the somewhat dilapidated streets, Kamisato Ayaka felt lost and could not see Inazuma's future.

Before she knew it, she arrived at the door of Yaedo Hall and decided to go in and take a look.
