Genshin Impact: I, who only wanted to play badly, have become famous

The main character of this chapter: Ningguang

Roushui immediately shouted, "Don't be rude!"

Ningguang raised her hand to stop Roushui, and asked in a gentle voice: "You don't look very old, but you have such courage. Since you feel that you are being treated unfairly, are you willing to talk to me about it?"

"Tell you? What's the point of telling you? You high-ranking officials with high salaries, will you open your eyes and look at us, the people at the bottom? If telling you was useful, we wouldn't have gone down this path."

Ningguang remained calm and asked patiently, "What's your name? You can tell me that, right?"

The young man crossed his arms over his chest and said with great vigor, "My name is Xu Si! I'm the sixth child in my family!"

"I admit that Liyue is so vast that there are always places we cannot see. But I, Ningguang, don't mind talking about it. I also came from a humble background and climbed up step by step from the bottom to become one of the "Seven Stars of Liyue" today."

"I thought I could best understand the sufferings of the lower classes. If you have any grievances, you can tell me. But you just keep resisting and don't want to say anything. How can I solve your problems?"

Xu Si sneered and sat back on the cold floor of the cell: "You high-ranking officials all talk better than you sing, but when something really goes wrong, you are of no use at all."

Shan Feng was getting a little impatient. "Lady Ningguang was speaking to you in a nice way, just to get you to explain things clearly so that we can solve the problem. But you are just making sarcastic remarks all the time, not saying a single useful word!"

Roushui echoed, "That's right. You've always blamed us at Yujingtai for not solving problems for the common people. When we asked you what the problem was, you refused to mention it. Who is making trouble now?"

Xu Si looked at the two of them coldly. Ningguang coughed lightly, signaling the Qianyan Army guarding nearby to open the prison door.

Shan Feng advised: "Lord Ningguang, he doesn't seem to have any real grievances. He is clearly here to curse. Why are you..."

Ningguang waved her hands: "Although the words are harsh, it is precisely because of this that the sincerity of the feelings is revealed."

"Xu Si, can I talk to you alone? You may have complaints, anger, or even hatred towards us. But I urgently want to know what happened to you that forced you to become like this."

"If you've had enough of cursing and are tired of shouting, come to my place and have a cup of tea to moisten your throat."

Xu Si was a little stunned. He fully expected that Ningguang would be so angry that she would leave after he mocked her so hard, but she looked quite calm and showed no emotion at all.

"Is this the temperament of a strong woman? Well, since you are willing to treat me to tea, I am not afraid of wasting a glass of water on you!"

The Qianyan Army released Xu Si alone and uncuffed him.

Seeing the helpless expressions of Shanfeng and Roushui, Xu Si snorted coldly, shook his neck, twisted his shoulders, and relaxed his muscles.

He was a young and fearless man, and ignored the gazes from the Qianyan Army and secretaries he met along the way. He walked with his head held high behind Ningguang, as if he was not a prisoner but a VIP.

This is quite surprising for a country boy of ordinary origin and miserable life.

Ningguang brought Xu Si into the "Yuehai Pavilion". Ganyu was busy with the follow-up affairs of the drug raid and was very busy.

Seeing Ningguang coming in, Ganyu, although disheveled, still pretended to be relaxed and smiled sweetly: "Lady Ningguang, good afternoon."

Ningguang responded with a gentle smile: "Ganyu, I've been very busy lately, and I'm sorry to have to trouble you."

Ganyu smiled and shook her head: "It's okay, Lady Ningguang, this is all my job."

"Please sit down." Ningguang invited Xu Si to sit down, and she sat opposite him.

Xu Si was not polite either. He just sat on the chair, crossed his legs, and looked rebellious.

The two of them sat opposite each other at a table in a small pavilion over the lotus pond outside the "Yue Hai Pavilion". Immediately, a secretary came over and poured tea for them.

Xu Si sneered: "Oh, you are so quick at this time, why can't I see you when you are doing your work?"

Several secretaries who were pouring tea looked at Xu Si in confusion, turned around and left, whispering, "Where did this kid come from? How could he be so rude? Lord Ningguang even met him in person."

Xu Si could hear it, but he didn't care about what others said at all. He knew very well what kind of person he was.

Ningguang took the initiative to push the teacup in front of Xu Si: "Little brother, I have already expressed my sincerity. I just want you to speak out what you think is unfair so that we have a chance to solve the problem."

"But if you just keep mocking us without telling us what the problem is, it will be meaningless to you and me."

Xu Si picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp. The bitter taste made him frown: "It's extremely bitter and not tasty at all. It can't be compared with the sweet rice in our Qingxupu."

Ningguang smiled and said, "So you guys are from Qingxupu. The rice there is really good. It tastes sweet and the grains are plump. I can't help but sigh with admiration every time I taste it."

Xu Si then said, "Did you know that there was a locust plague in Qingxupu a month ago, and the people's crops were completely destroyed. Not only did they have no income, but they even had trouble getting food?"

"What?" Ningguang still showed a little surprise, because she really had no idea about this.

Xu Si sneered disdainfully: "You are not a person who would lie. Judging from your expression, you really don't know."

"Then the question is, we, the victims of Qingxupu, have been trying so hard to ask for help from Liyue Port and you for help over the past month, but why has no one responded at all?"

"We don't expect you to give us a solution right away, but we also don't want to hear that we have been struggling for so long and you don't know anything!"

Xu Si became more and more excited as he spoke, and angrily threw the teacup in front of Ningguang.

The table was buzzing with the sound of being slammed, and the teacup was smashed to pieces by Xu Si. The fragments pierced into the palm of Xu Si's hand, and blood flowed on the spot.

Ningguang remained calm and stood up silently, calling out to the secretaries of Yuehai Pavilion, "Prepare gauze and medicine for the wound."

"I don't need it! What I need is an explanation and someone to help with the disaster! Who can make up for the people who died of starvation and thirst in Qingxupu in the past month!"

Xu Si glared at Ningguang fiercely. In his eyes, there were no levels or rules, only anger.
