Their commission was suspicious.

The trio of children who often played at the port naturally knew Ningguang.

"Ah, my statue." Lulu, who was quite happy after receiving the candy, suddenly remembered something and quickly picked up her statue that she had just dropped.

“Oh no…” Lulu looked at the Rock King statue in her hand with a dejected expression.

There's no doubt that Chen Luo's dolls are of high quality, but Chen Luo couldn't possibly use any precious materials to carve these dolls, which are essentially given away for free. He only used ordinary wood or clay; otherwise, he would have lost a fortune long ago.

Normally, a fall wouldn't cause any problems, but Lulu chose a statue made of relatively heavy wood.

Most importantly, Lulu was unlucky; there happened to be a small pebble where the statue fell, which "assassinated" the statue.

Just like a mobile phone, even if it's a high-quality phone with a tempered glass screen protector and a phone case, if it falls to the ground and hits a small stone on the side, the screen will still be damaged.

Lulu looked at the broken rock king statue with a pang of heartache.

"Hmm, Lulu, can I take a look? Let me see if I can fix it." Ningguang reached out her hand to Lulu when she saw the somewhat damaged statue.

“Okay.” Lulu nodded and handed over the statue.

After Ningguang took the statue in her hands, she felt its weight. However, after examining it closely, she realized that she was completely unable to repair it.

Although this statue of the King of Hell is indeed a movable statue, the broken part is not at the joint, so it is simply broken.

"Hmm?" Just as Ningguang was about to return the statue to Lulu, she frowned.

Ningguang looked at the strange patterns on the base of the statue and sensed a different kind of aura.

"This is……"

Celestial magic?

"Lulu, where did you get this?" Ningguang asked Lulu, stroking the unfamiliar array patterns.

Ningguang didn't recognize these runes, so she didn't know what their effects were. They seemed to be runes with a positive effect, but she wasn't entirely sure.

"This was bought for us by the older brother over there. It cost three...5000 Mora." Lulu originally wanted to say 300, but after remembering Chen Luo's words, she immediately changed her mind.

Ningguang, being the astute person she was, naturally overheard Lulu's change of heart.

This piqued Ningguang's curiosity. Generally, the children she knew rarely hid things from her, since her intelligence network originated from them.

Therefore, Ningguang still took Lulu's concealment to some extent.

"Do you know that older brother?" Ningguang asked.

“I don’t know him. This older brother doesn’t seem to be a local. I’ve never seen him in Liyue Harbor before.” Lulu shook her head.

"Oh, is that so? Can you take me there? Since I'm the one who broke it, I should buy you a replacement," Ningguang said with a smile.

Accompanying the other person with a puppet is secondary; Ningguang really wants to meet the person who inscribed the immortal array patterns on the puppet.

In another hour or so, it will be the Seven Stars Invitation Ceremony. This year, it will be presided over by the Star of Heavenly Power, Ningguang, so it cannot be neglected.

Moreover, such suspicious individuals do indeed need to be thoroughly investigated, especially in a place so close to the Seven Stars Summoning Immortals Ceremony.

Not a native of Liyue, yet they showed up on the day of the Seven Stars Summoning Ceremony...

Although there were many other merchants who took advantage of this opportunity to make a quick buck, the other party's immortal array pattern undoubtedly made them more eye-catching.

"This... is fine."

Brother Chen Luo only said not to tell anyone about buying a statue for 300 Mora, and bringing Sister Ningguang along should also be considered as supporting Brother Chen Luo's business, right?

Thinking this, Lulu nodded.

Chapter 317 Rock Prince Figurine, those with the original [authority] shall own it.

"You've damaged something, you have to pay for it." A cold voice rang out.

"My brother is the leader of the Adventurers' Guild's Afternoon Study Adventure Team!"

"If you step on something and break it, you have to pay for it."

"I already told you, my brother is the leader of the Adventurers' Guild's Afternoon Study Adventure Team!"

Ningguang, guided by Lulu, headed to Chen Luo's stall, but before she even got there, she saw a white-haired woman arguing with a young man.

“I’m warning you, I…” the young man said impatiently to Shen He.

"Thump!" Shen He glanced at Chen Luo beside him, and with Chen Luo's encouragement, he gently stepped on the stone brick.

The fashion seemed to have been subjected to some tremendous force, instantly cracking. At the center where Shen He's toe lightly touched, the stone slab was directly crushed into dust.

"If you break something, you have to pay for it," Shen He said coldly once again.

This time, Shen He's body began to emit a trace of ice element, which made the young man shiver.

"I'm sorry." The young man admitted his mistake incredibly quickly.

You are the holder of the Eye of God, you should have said so earlier, I would have admitted my mistake sooner.

Everyone has a different way of binding the Eye of God. Some people wear it around their neck, like Chen Luo. Some people hang it on their waist. Some people hang it on their ears. Shen He, on the other hand, binds it to his hair at the back of his head.

People who look directly at Shen He cannot see Shen He's divine eye.

"Pay up," Shen He said, pointing to the doll on the stall whose corner had been stepped on.

"I'll pay you back!" The young man immediately became friendly and spoke up.

In Teyvat, the status of ordinary people and those with the Eye of God is slightly different.

In Teyvat, the Eye of God is essentially a certificate of genius; even if someone is bad at something, they can't be that bad.

Therefore, the Eye of God is something that can quickly calm down other people who are full of anger.

Although this young man's older brother is the leader of a fairly powerful adventurer group in the Liyue Adventurers Guild.

But if his brother finds out that she has gotten into trouble with a God's Eye holder by refusing to pay for the things she broke, his brother will skin him alive.

"How much? It's 5000 Mora, right?" The young man had just heard the Herald of Knowledge's shout.

"Oh dear, my family's heirloom, blessed by immortals and crafted using the mechanical puppetry techniques personally passed down by the True Lord of Cloud Retention and Wind Borrowing, has been ruined by stepping on it! This is a puppet imbued with the power of immortals; it's a top-tier item for warding off evil spirits and protecting the home!" Before Shen He could even nod, the Herrscher of Knowledge, who was in charge of shouting, suddenly cried out in pain as he looked at the statue that the young man had trampled on.

He was so angry and frustrated that he was practically beating his feet and pounding his chest.

"Hey, you guys..."

The young man immediately realized that this person was trying to extort money from him.

It's like everyone knows that you can't find genuine antiques at stalls on antique streets, but if you break it, the seller can easily pass it off as something from last week as something from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

"Oh dear, the Eye of God is getting a bit hot." Seeing the young man's exasperation, Chen Luo took out the Eye of God that was hanging around his neck and hidden in his clothes.

Chen Luo usually wears the Eye of God around his neck, but he usually hides it inside his clothes.

"...You're right. I'll pay 10 times the price, 5 Mora!" Seeing that he had offended two holders of the Eye of God, the young man's anger subsided instantly.

Ah, I guess I'm just unlucky.

"I'm leaving." With four pairs of eyes watching, the young man threw Mora onto the stall and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute," Chen Luo suddenly called out to the young man.

"What are you doing now? I've already given you ten times the amount, isn't that enough?"

"Take that statue with you. It's a little damaged, but it can still be effective," Chen Luo said lazily.

"Never mind, it's yours." Feeling a bit unlucky, the young man quickened his pace and left.

"Wow, we've already earned a tenth of the money. It seems like earning a million Mora in one morning might not be a problem at all," the Herrscher of Knowledge remarked from the side.

If it weren't for the fact that someone seemed to be coming this way, the Herrscher of Knowledge could have swindled the other party out of 10 Mora.

Those who understand the laws of perception can see through the good and evil in people's hearts. Being able to read minds is that awesome, so it's true that they can be quite ruthless when it comes to killing certain people.

The other party has been acting arrogantly and domineeringly; it's time they paid some price for all this time.

"Shen He, you did very well this time. Actually, you need to understand that sometimes, to make someone submit to your force, you don't necessarily have to take action immediately. You just need to let them see the difference between us."

"If it were in the wild, then it would be fine to fight, but within Liyue Harbor, there should at least be some rules to follow. After all, the Thousand Rock Army isn't just sitting around doing nothing."

"With your strength, you're unlikely to encounter anyone who can put you at a disadvantage, but if you beat someone too badly, you'll have to bear some punishment out of humanitarian considerations."

"So sometimes all you need to do is get the other party to back down."

"Of course, if the other party refuses to back down no matter what, and it's their fault, then go ahead and hit them. I'll handle anything that happens," Chen Luo assured him.

Not to brag about Chen Luoshi, but there are no more than 20 people in the entire Liyue who can resist Chen Luoshi's Herrscher abilities without being affected at all.

“We can’t completely ignore what he said.” After listening to Chen Luo’s words, Ning Guang, who had been watching for a while, slowly walked over.

"Besides, you'll be fined for damaging public property here," Ningguang said, glancing at the stone slab that Shen He had stepped on and shattered.

"Oh, isn't this Lady Ningguang of Tianquan Star? It's an honor to meet you. As for what you said about damaging public property... is it possible that what you just saw was just some kind of illusion?" Chen Luo turned his gaze to Ningguang.

Tianquan Star shines brightly; she has fair skin, a beautiful face, long legs, and is also wealthy.

"Snap!" Chen Luo snapped his fingers lightly.

Upon hearing Chen Luo's words, Ning Guang looked at the stone slab that Shen He had just crushed, only to find that the stone slab, which was originally severely broken, was completely intact.

Ningguang then looked at the secretary beside her.

Ningguang frowned after the secretary shook her head.

What an amazing illusion!

"Phew..." Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Ningguang hadn't noticed anything unusual.

Is it possible that Shenhe actually broke the floorboards just now, and what Ningguang is seeing now is just an illusion?

"Hmm, if I'm not mistaken, Miss Ningguang, you've come here to buy a statue, right?" Chen Luo said, glancing at the Rock King doll that Lulu was holding, which had a missing corner.

How did you figure that out?

"I have some knowledge of divination; please call me Shermollow."

The truth is, the Fate Line ability is really useful.

Also, Lulu's skills are really weak.

"Okay, it's mainly because I saw the bad doll Lulu was holding." Chen Luo explained, seeing Ningguang's puzzled look.

It's obvious that Ningguang has no idea what Sherlock Holmes is.

Or rather, if the other party knew, Chen Luo would not be able to remain calm.

"Hmm, so 5,000 Mora for one doll, and you can pick whichever you like?" Ningguang squatted down and examined the Geo Archon doll on the stall.

“The original ones are 5000 Mora each, and the right ones have a more complicated production process, so the price will be higher. There is no specific price. The left ones are 5000 each,” Chen Luo said.

"So, Miss Ningguang, how many are you planning to buy?" Chen Luo asked.

"May I take a look?" Ningguang picked up a palm-sized Rock King Emperor doll from the stall and began to examine it.

"Whatever." Chen Luo glanced at Ning Guang and then continued carving the puppet.

Chen Luo could be considered to be practicing his puppetry skills by sculpting puppets.

Ningguang carefully observed everyone at the stalls, and then noticed the dolls on the left stall that cost 5000 Mora each for those with a special destiny. They did indeed have some unique patterns engraved on them.

The puppets on the right and left are generally smaller, while those on the right are generally larger and more exquisite, appearing as if they are about to come to life.

It is evident that Chen Luo's craftsmanship in making statues or dolls is indeed exceptional.

Moreover, the strange patterns carved on the right-hand doll are more numerous and the effect is more obvious.

Just touching the largest Rock King Emperor dragon-shaped ornament made Ningguang feel as if her spirits were soothed.

After clearly perceiving the effects of these runes, Ningguang temporarily removed Chen Luo from the list of suspects.

The effects of ordinary dolls are usually subtle and barely noticeable, but when the effects are enhanced, they become more acutely apparent.

Ningguang, having seen this place, looked up at Shen He again.

In business, having a keen eye is a very important skill; you can't afford to be inaccurate in judging people.

Ningguang didn't sense any aura of a celestial being from Chen Luo, but she felt that Shen He was more like a cultivator from the mountains and forests, and was very likely a celestial being.

After all, the other party's otherworldly temperament was very conspicuous.

"Alright Lulu, pick one you like, I'll pay." Ningguang said after patting Lulu's head.

"Then I want... wait, big brother, do you support personalized statue customization here?" Lulu was about to make a selection when she suddenly remembered something.
