Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army

In the morning, the sun was shining brightly and the streets of Liyue Harbor were bustling with activity. Compared to the lights at night, they were not much different except that they were a little less dazzling.

The Hall of Rebirth is less brightly lit than at night and is located behind a yellow-leaf tree, making it seem as if the gate is shielded from sunlight and a bit shady, or should we say, eerie.

Someone stepped into this place that almost no one dared to approach during the day. He was upright and heroic. It was Su Ping who had nothing to do after finishing the roll call at the parade ground.

In fact, compared with the other six stars, the position of Kaiyang Star is really more leisurely in daily life when there is no unrest, because the pile of documents yesterday seemed to be the product of two or three months of accumulation.

From this perspective, the Qianyan Army is such a large team that, as long as things are handled in a timely manner, they can still live a leisurely and ordinary life for a while.

Su Ping approached the door and knocked on it three times.

"Come in, boy Su!" From inside the door, Hall Master Hu's voice, which sounded a little old but full of energy, came out.

Su Ping pushed the door open and walked in, then turned around to close the door as usual.

"No need, just leave it open for ventilation, and lend some Yang energy to the hall!" Hall Master Hu smiled with narrowed eyes, he has been acting a little abnormal lately.

Su Ping, of course, listened to his host. He approached the tea table and asked, "Master, are you fully recovered from your injuries? Do you want me to bring you some medicine?"

Master Hu said unhappily, "Although I am old, my body is not inferior to you youngsters. If we were the same age, I could beat you with one hand... Even if I can't beat you, I will still have a good reputation!"

Su Ping smiled knowingly, "Master, there is no need to be like this. I am a junior with limited knowledge and only know a little..."

"Stop, you have obviously got a greater opportunity, and you are far superior to ordinary people in all aspects. You still dare to say it is a trivial trick? Do you despise your master, or are you lowering the elegance of Confucianism?" Hall Master Hu hurriedly stopped the boy and did not let him continue speaking.

Su Ping was interrupted like this, but he didn't say anything else. He took a sip of tea and pretended to be surprised and asked, "Master, you are drinking hot tea too?"

"The old man has been taking the route of keeping healthy lately." After saying this, Master Hu slowly added, "People have suffered enough in their lives. Let's suffer less when we get old."

Su Ping was silent and put down the teacup. He was aware of everything. He was a disciple of the immortal family and his perception ability was higher than others. Even if there was something hidden, it would be effortless for him to do so.

Seeing that his face looked strange, Master Hu opened his mouth to say something, but when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back because of a very crisp and lovely call.

"grandfather!"

Hu Tao was also dressed in black. She ran out of the hall at great speed, then stood still with her legs together, as if she was braking at high speed, but she really stopped. She stopped beside the tea table with a bright smile, like a flower bud about to bloom.

"Big brother, you are finally here. I was just standing upside down in the hall reciting a poem when I heard grandpa talking to someone. It turned out to be you!"

Kurumi's eyes shone brightly, like two huge stars in the dark night. Although her eyes were wide open, they were extremely clear and very pleasing.

Su Ping looked at the girl who had changed a lot and smiled, "I haven't seen you for a few years. Little Hutao has grown so tall."

"Three years have passed, but four years are less than a month. If big brother doesn't come again, Hu Tao will be ten years old and will have changed even more!" Hu Tao stretched out four fingers, one of which was half pressed down, indicating that it was half.

She used to be a soft and tender porcelain doll, and now she is a quirky little cutie. No matter her age, Hu Tao is always likable, or to say, she was very good before she took over as the hall master.

"Xiao Tao, have you forgotten your grandpa after seeing your brother?" At the side, Master Hu, who felt left out by his granddaughter, asked in a childish tone, "Xiao Tao, do you not want your grandpa anymore?"

"No, no, grandpa is always here anyway, so I just want to chat with big brother. Otherwise, next time we meet, big brother's children may already be able to walk." Hu Tao pouted, looking very cute.

Hall Master Hu closed his eyes slightly and said in a gentle and persuasive way: "Since Xiao Tao is so reluctant to leave Su, why don't we just sign a contract and let him come often?"

I thought Hu Tao would agree, but the little girl shook her head and said in a condescending manner, "Big brother is the governor of Kaiyang Star, so he must be very busy and exhausted. Now that he has finally found time to come here, how can you say that!"

Master Hu said "oh", glanced at the young man with a faint smile, and then said: "Then what should we do?"

"Of course I won't tell you. Big brother, if you can come, then come. If you can't come, it's an obstruction to official business. It can't be treated as a joke." Although Hu Tao is not very old, he has certain insights into the busy work of adults.

Master Hu laughed and said, "He is a little devil!"

Su Ping touched his nose. He felt embarrassed when the little girl suddenly said that, because the work on Kaiyang Star was not too difficult at the moment. After all, as long as there was peace and no unrest, it would not be considered a big deal.

"I will come here often in the future." Su Ping looked at the grandfather and grandson with a serious expression. This was his response to Little Walnut, and at the same time, he was telling the old hall master what he meant, which was a double entendre.

Master Hu smiled but said nothing.

Walnut was delighted, "Great!"

Hall Master Hu looked at his granddaughter who was a little too happy, and said slowly: "Xiao Tao, your big brother doesn't look like someone who can sit still for a long time. Do you have any fun games? Take him to try them out!"

Kurumi didn't answer immediately, but looked at the young man to see his reaction.

After Su Ping nodded, Hu Tao immediately ran away and went back to her room to get something. She was really running around.

Seeing his granddaughter leaving, Master Hu lowered his voice and said, "Boy Su, did you see that?"

"Well, the situation is not good." Su Ping did not want to hide it.

Master Hu said calmly: "Birth, aging, illness and death are common to all people. There is nothing to be ashamed of. I hope that by the time the time comes, you will not lose your steely appearance and become tearful!"

"Actually, I had some concerns about this just now, but the main reason is because of Walnut's arrival. It looks like you haven't told her yet."

"Of course, Xiao Tao is just a little girl, there's no need to worry about her... Alas!"

At the end, Master Hu could only sigh, because his son and daughter-in-law had passed away, and the only successor left was the young Hu Tao.

Wangsheng Hall is a huge industry with profound heritage. Although it has some unlucky sayings, its money and business cannot be ignored in Liyue Harbor.

Perhaps in another year, or maybe two or three years, little Hutao, who is only ten years old, or eleven or twelve, will have to shoulder this heavy family business. The death of his last relative is undoubtedly a heavy blow.

"Is it true that there is no other way?" Su Ping asked.

Hall Master Hu shook his head, "There's nothing I can do. Otherwise, the old man would like to watch his granddaughter grow up and see if she falls in love with a bad boy. Then, if that bad boy marries me, I can have a great-grandson!"

Su Ping said nothing, his eyes lowered.

"Su kid, you are already a famous figure on Kaiyang Star. You may not be able to come here often. You just promised me not to become a negative example for my granddaughter."

"It's Kaiyang Star, but you're still calling me kid."

“It’s a habit.”

"Then I, the younger generation, may come here often, and it may be a habit. At least... I can see you off."

"That sounds good!" Hall Master Hu tilted his head.

Su Ping smiled faintly.

"Come to think of it, when you were looking at my granddaughter, your eyes were almost tearing out. What were you thinking about? Although I'm old, if you dare to have any ideas about my granddaughter, I'll hit you on the head with a Homa!" Master Hu said shockingly.

Su Ping was so angry that he said, "How could I have that?"

"It almost dripped out. Don't you think I, an old man with blurry eyes, can't see clearly?" Hall Master Hu had a look of seeing through.

Su Ping's mouth twitched. "I didn't. Anyone who sees the child should be like this. I have a family. Please don't slander me!"

"You have a family but you still go around looking at other people's children. You..." Master Hu pointed at the young man, feeling very sad.

“Master Hu, if you do this again, I will call for help.” Su Ping threatened.

"Let's talk about the business you always come for."

He changed his expression faster than turning the pages of a book, which could be said to be the ultimate speed of changing expression. Master Hu was smiling and discussed the so-called business very enthusiastically.

The three generations of the Hu family, starting from the old hall master, seem to be all quirky and clever. No matter their age, they will play as they please, without any hesitation.

In the end, the real business could not be discussed because Walnut came in at a brisk pace, pulling a box of toys. The variety of styles and the wide range of ways to play with them made the other children envious for a long time.

However, there are many toys but few people to play with them. The little girl, who is less than ten years old, has only one playmate, her grandfather who is like a naughty old man.

Fortunately, the grandfather and grandson were very close, and they got along very well. For little Hu Tao, who lost his parents at a young age, this was the last bit of psychological comfort, and he was not too sad.

While Su Ping was playing, he glanced at the box from time to time. As he looked at it, he found that it was a coffin. Hu Tao could be said to be the first person in Teyvat who dared to use such a thing to store toys.

"Oh, I was one step behind. My luck is really bad today." Hu Tao shook his head slightly and said calmly. If people who didn't know, they would probably think that the old man could regain his youth.

The mechanical chess game they were playing was a traditional game of Liyue, but it was rarely seen in the world nowadays. Fortunately, Wangsheng Hall had a rich heritage, so it actually threw this chessboard and chess pieces made of gold and jade into Hu Tao's pile of toys. Or perhaps, it was her own self-sufficiency.

Finally, the three people who found the board game boring started playing hide-and-seek in the inner hall. Little Walnut caught while the other two hid.

Su Ping, the commander-in-chief of the Qianyan Army, who was well versed in the key to hiding and saving lives on the battlefield and had practiced it countless times and had won many surprise attacks, was the first to be captured.

Walnut, a master of hide-and-seek, couldn't help but wonder, "Big brother, the corner of your clothes is exposed. This is too careless."

Su Ping came out from behind the counter, his face normal, without any sense of shame that could almost be considered surrender.

Then, Walnut grabbed her grandfather in a coffin again and said angrily, "Grandpa, you always hide here, can't you change places?"

Hall Master Hu waved his hand, lying inside, and said calmly: "This is a counter-strategy tactic, but Xiao Tao's wisdom is too strong, and she can always see through Grandpa's plan. There is nothing we can do!"

"Then Grandpa, please get up quickly and don't lie in there and sleep anymore." Hu Tao urged. Although she herself liked to lie in there and sleep every night, she didn't want her grandfather to be like her.

Master Hu laughed and said, "It's okay to just lie down as the final destination of a person."

"grandfather!"

Hu Tao stomped her feet on the floor. She was in the Hall of the Dead and was used to seeing separations and deaths, and scenes of eternal separation. She didn't care about life and death at all and said whatever she wanted to say.

But for some reason, she didn't allow her grandfather to say that. She didn't want to hear it, and she didn't dare to hear it.
