After the meal, the atmosphere gradually became relaxed. Looking out the window, the constant flow of people coming and going made people unconsciously dazed and just watched quietly.

Silently watching these mundane fireworks.

However, at this moment, they heard a familiar voice.

"Yes, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry."

Following the direction of the voice, Keqing saw clearly the owner of the voice.

It was the little girl selling the hanging ears of corn...it seemed like something had happened to her.

Chapter 27 Another Purpose

Because she was very concerned, Keqing walked over. When she arrived, she saw several guards in black standing coldly in front of her. At their feet, the little girl was nervously apologizing.

The things the little girl used for her stall were scattered all over the floor. Behind the servants, a young man with an indifferent and cold look watched everything indifferently.

"What happened?

"

Keqing walked over and asked.

When the little girl saw her, she paused and tears of grievance flowed down her cheeks.

"This guest?"

The girl still remembered Keqing, and how gentle this customer had been when he had just given something to his girlfriend, so she spoke in a low voice.

"It's my fault. I accidentally bumped into these seniors and broke their swords."

Tears were falling down the little girl's face, she was twitching, her tone was a little halting and a little at a loss.

"But, but I don't have the money to compensate these seniors."

Hearing this, Keqing paused.

"The sword...was broken by you?"

Are you just a weak little girl who can’t even lift a hand or a shoulder?

Keqing looked like a little girl joking, but she paused when she saw some broken swords among the fallen tassels at the other person's feet.

Maybe the little girl wasn't lying.

As if she was afraid that Keqing would misunderstand that she was lying, the little girl hurriedly explained.

"People, their physiques are somewhat special. If they accidentally touch weapons like swords, the weapons will become bad."

As if to confirm that what she said was correct, the little girl touched the broken sword under her feet with her fingers.

The broken sword in his hand fell to the ground.

At this moment, the sword he had just obtained seemed to be a little curious, and part of it appeared from the scabbard, as if it was peeking out to look around.

Keqing pressed down the handle without leaving any trace and closed it.

"So that's how it is. Your physique is quite special."

Keqing understood. She looked at the crying little girl, then looked at the two sullen guards and the indifferent noble young man behind them, and made a decision in her heart.

"How about this? This sword isn't worth much. It seems to be just a first-class magic weapon. How about this? I'll pay for her spirit stones and let this matter be over now?"

"How can that be? This guest..."

"It's okay. I see that you usually sell some hanging ears of corn, so you must not be rich and have no money to pay compensation. This money is nothing to me. This way, I am just helping you out, and it also solves your problem. Isn't it good?"

"But, but no..."

The little girl was still stubborn. Even though her face was covered with tears, she still insisted on refusing.

It's just a kind gesture, and it won't hurt herself much. At least when she was in Liyue, Keqing would help those in need in this way.

Seeing the little girl like this, Keqing thought of some people who were as stubborn as her.

After all, some people really care about their reputation, but they are not the kind of people who cannot support themselves. At this time, she can only provide help without leaving a trace, such as those injured and retired Qianyan veterans in Liyue.

Obviously, Liyue has some kind of disability retirement fund, but in order not to cause trouble to the Seven Stars, they refused to collect it. They said that they didn't want to cause trouble to Liyue and the money could be used for more construction. Honestly, they are only causing trouble to themselves by doing this.

On the surface, he seemed to be following his own heart and was seemingly working for the development of Liyue, but this would only make the people more worried about Liyue. After all, if the soldiers who defended their country could not be properly resettled, how could people trust this country?

Moreover, this will also have a certain impact on the confidence of the current Qianyan Army.

Others will only see that Liyue does not provide proper resettlement, and will not care about the reason, such as whether the soldier does not want it.

Of course, we have gone off topic, but Keqing is willing to help if she can.

Of course, in order to take care of the little girl's mentality, Keqing added.

"Of course, if you feel that you should not receive rewards without merit, you can come to Xuan Lei Men to help do some work and repay the money. Just think of it as us lending it to you."

While speaking, Keqing also looked at the Senior Sister, and naturally responded to what her lover said about the Senior Sister.

"Well, our Xuan Lei Sect is in need of some menial servants. You can work to pay off your debts."

"Really?"

The little girl paused. She had also heard of Xuan Lei Sect. She heard that it was a large sect that had not recruited disciples for several years.

I didn't expect these two beautiful seniors were actually from there! No wonder they were so kind and willing to help a poor person like her.

"Thank you, thank you two seniors, I will work hard."

The eldest sister smiled and said that work was just an excuse. At worst, she could arrange an easy job for the girl when the time comes.

The matter should have ended here, but the young man on the side suddenly spoke, as if he was not going to let it go.

"Did I say yes?"

As soon as the arrogant tone came out, the atmosphere froze instantly.

The little girl looked cautiously at the noble young man who looked like he was not someone to be trifled with, and then spoke softly.

"But, but I have the spirit stone, I, I will compensate you according to the price."

"Pretty senior, this sword shouldn't be expensive..."

She turned around and asked Keqing and the others cautiously.

"Don't worry, it's not expensive."

I looked at the sword at my feet. Judging from its material, it should only be of the first level and should not be worth much money.

"It's just the price of a first-level magic weapon, not much."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the young man suddenly laughed sarcastically.

“I miss you

These two nosy people may have misunderstood. My servant's sword is indeed worthless, but when did I ask her to compensate me with zero spirit stones? "

He paused.

"I want her to accompany me with this sword, the exact same sword."

As the young man finished speaking, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"If she can't produce this identical sword, then give her to me! After all, selling one's body to pay off a debt is only natural, isn't it?"

This was actually the idea. Keqing frowned.

And the young man did give a sarcastic smile.

"If you can't come up with something similar, then don't meddle in other people's business. It's just a small sect with only a few people in it. Why do you want to imitate others and do good deeds?"

"Don't you think it's hypocritical and funny?"

There was full of malice in the words, even the eldest sister could feel it. The other party seemed to have deep evil intentions towards them and Xuan Lei Sect.

Who is this person?

The atmosphere suddenly became tense. The three men looked at each other and confronted each other, and the guard in front of the young man suddenly stood up.

Even the other people watching around were whispering, wondering if this young man who looked so imposing was deliberately making things difficult for others.

"A first-level magic sword doesn't even require spirit stones. Instead, they give me an identical one as compensation. This is really embarrassing."

"That's right, poor little girl. She was already unlucky. Her poor health caused her to lose everything and her parents died. As a result..."

"Tsk, I think he has a crush on that girl, so..."

“Hehe, maybe it’s true, but if you ask me, the two from Xuan Lei Sect are the real ones…”

Keqing also realized at this time that this was not an accident and the other party's purpose was not simple.

"Are you really determined to do this? To embarrass a little girl..."

She frowned in displeasure and spoke in a cold tone.

Chapter 28: Trouble Again

"How is this difficult?"

The young man looked at Keqing in surprise.

"Didn't you hear me? I just asked her to compensate me with an identical one. Is that difficult?"

"It's not difficult at all, right? Don't you think so?"

the young man asked.

"Master is right. Whether you asked her to pay double the compensation or not, how can it be considered as a difficult matter? Our Master is the most reasonable one."

The attendant beside him nodded.

Even the senior sister beside him found this ridiculous.

Is this not a problem? Where in the world can there be a magic sword that is exactly the same? And it is obvious that this sword is not a standard one. Where can the little girl find an identical one?

This is obviously an attempt to bully the little girl.

What on earth is on this little girl that they are plotting against? Looking at the young man's clothes, it is obvious that he is from a noble family. And the old man behind him, although his aura is not obvious, is obviously not an ordinary person. He is likely to be the protector of this young man...

Is this his confidence?

But I can't just dismiss him casually, at worst...

The eldest sister was about to step forward, but unexpectedly, Keqing, who was hesitating beside her, suddenly spoke.

"You just want this sword, exactly the same? Nothing else?"

"Why? Haven't I made myself clear enough?"

"Okay, I understand. I'll remember your words."

As Keqing finished speaking, everyone around her, including the eldest sister, was stunned.

What does this mean? Could she find an identical sword? That's impossible.

bluff.

But the eldest sister didn't think so. Although she was stunned for a moment, she believed that Keqing must have her own ideas. She just didn't know what the other party was going to do.

Keqing came to the fragments, took out a towel, and pieced together the broken sword pieces on the ground bit by bit, and then put them together as a puzzle.

Seeing her like this, the eldest sister was full of curiosity, and the others also watched with bated breath, wanting to see what she was going to do.

It only took her a few moves to put the fragments back into their original shape, and one could tell what kind of sword it was at a glance.

He felt the sword carefully with his fingertips, from the tip to the hilt, feeling the material and the cracks, looking seriously immersed in it.

"What is this senior going to do?"

"How should I know? Could it be that the other party has some method to restore the sword?"

The people around him asked curiously, but the young man from the noble family sneered when he heard it.

"Recovery, do you really think you are some weapon master?"

However, as soon as she said this, she was slapped in the face. A ray of lightning jumped out from Keqing's hand and then rushed onto the sword.

The powerful magnetic force made the sword involuntarily close together. The powerful internal force made the sword body look seamless, without any cracks at all.

Everyone was amazed! But the young man's face turned cold.

This is not enough, Keqing thought, once the magnetism fades, the sword will break.
