Su Yuan could understand Mada Ping’s thoughts.
After all, the loss of Gui Zhong had been a huge blow to her...
Once a woman who loved beauty and was sowhat competitive, Lord of Songs and Wandering was now a kind old woman with a face full of wrinkles.
This showed how much Mada Ping had changed...
So, before figuring out the exact conditions of Cloud Retainer’s eerie state, it was better not to rashly expose everything.
Otherwise, tearing off the mask now might cause even more unnecessary and serious consequences.
"Well then, Mada Ping, do you happen to know where Miss Yanfei is right now?" Su Yuan asked.
"Yanfei, that child, told yesterday that she’d probably be near Liyue Harbor today..." Mada Ping replied, "If you want to find her, you can try looking around the Yanshang Teahouse."
"Alright, Mada Ping, thank you! I’ll be on my way then!"
..........
If Su Yuan rembered correctly, the true owner behind the Yanshang Teahouse should be Yelan, right?
Logically speaking, soone like Yelan—Liyue’s master of intelligence, always operating from the shadows and hard to pin down—should’ve already shown up to speak with him, considering how long he’d been in Liyue.
Perhaps it was because she wasn’t in Liyue at the mont.
Su Yuan figured he should focus on Yanfei for now.
Shortly after, Su Yuan arrived at the Yanshang Teahouse and found it already crowded.
Many people were gathered, talking loudly and excitedly about sothing.
"In my opinion, even though the Liyue Ministry of Civil Affairs claims they’re not trying to erase the Geo Lord from history, now that there are no more portraits or statues—none of those things that show what the Geo Lord looked like—we can only pass on his stories to the younger generation by word of mouth..."
"Exactly! Without physical representations to aid in retelling, just passing things on verbally, there’s no way our kids can truly understand the Geo Lord!"
"Most likely, in just a few generations, the Geo Lord will completely disappear from the mory of the people of Liyue!"
"Master Yanfei, you’re the most renowned legal expert in all of Liyue Harbor. Tell us—this approach the Ministry of Civil Affairs is taking, blocking all statues and portraits related to the Geo Lord, and even having the Millelith go door to door collecting them—do you think that’s reasonable?"
"No matter how many tis we try to report this to the authorities, they refuse to give us a proper explanation!"
"Things like this should be announced publicly in advance and go through public consultation!"
"Liyue is supposed to be a democratic nation! Isn’t the Ministry acting far too arbitrary and autocratic in this?"
Hearing the people’s complaints, Yanfei nodded and said:
"Alright, alright, everyone, I understand your concerns!"
"To be honest, I also don’t understand why the Ministry of Civil Affairs made this decision!"
"Considering how much the Geo Lord has done for Liyue, the Ministry’s choice to suppress his image is absolutely an unreasonable decision!"
"I will file a lawsuit against the Liyue Ministry of Civil Affairs, to seek justice for everyone—and for the Geo Lord!"
Watching this scene unfold, Su Yuan nodded thoughtfully.
So Yanfei was here to demand justice from the Ministry on behalf of the common people?
Unfortunately, the Ministry’s actions were a necessary asure to prevent Zhongli from falling into Eerie corruption again.
At that mont, Yanfei seed to notice Su Yuan standing at the entrance, and turned to the crowd:
"Everyone, since I’ve heard all your concerns, I’ll take my leave now and head back to prepare the legal docunts for suing the Ministry of Civil Affairs!"
As she stepped outside, Yanfei greeted Su Yuan:
"Hello there, Mr. Su Yuan."
"You know , Yanfei?" Su Yuan was just about to introduce himself when she interrupted him mid-spell.
"Of course, Mada Ping told everything about you."
Yanfei smiled and said:
"Of course, I’m well aware of why the Ministry of Civil Affairs made that decision."
"Then why are you still siding with the common people..." Su Yuan asked.
"That’s part of the plan too. Soone has to listen to the voices of the people and take action on their behalf," Yanfei explained.
"If the public’s resentnt has no outlet, it’ll eventually explode—and that could lead to a lot of bad things."
Su Yuan instantly understood—so Yanfei was acting too...
Well, it made sense.
Given the current situation, the truth about the Eerie forces couldn’t be revealed to the people.
It had to be concealed as much as possible.
"Oh right, Yanfei, in all your years as a legal advisor, have you ever encountered a particularly troubleso outlaw?" Su Yuan asked.
"Troubleso outlaws that gave a headache?" Yanfei thought for a mont before replying, "Not really. I’ve run into a few who might be considered outlaws, but when reason and the law didn’t work on them, I just had to use my fists."
"Hehe, don’t underestimate , Su Yuan. Just like Miss Ganyu, I’m half an Adeptus too—I’ve got so combat power."
"So yeah, I don’t think I’ve ever encountered an outlaw that really gave a headache."
"Well, just be careful, Yanfei," Su Yuan reminded her.
"If you ever do et soone that does give you a headache... there’s a chance that person might be linked to the conditions for your eerie transformation."
"Got it, Su Yuan. Thanks for the heads-up, I’ll keep that in mind."
Su Yuan felt that, at least for now, there didn’t seem to be any major problems on Yanfei’s end...
She herself had said that outlaws who truly gave her a headache were pretty rare.
After that, Su Yuan parted ways with Yanfei and set off on his journey to find Zhongli.
He still wanted to discuss with Zhongli whether it was possible to check on Azhdaha’s current condition.
Ideally, he could also obtain a bit of the Geo Dragon Sovereign’s power—which would help fulfill the task given to him by the mysterious entity tied to his right palm.
While heading toward the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, Su Yuan suddenly caught a glimpse of a tall, beautiful woman with silver-white hair walking slowly down the streets of Liyue.
Su Yuan took one look—and wasn’t that Shenhe?
What a coincidence! He hadn’t expected to run into her here.
Su Yuan imdiately walked over and greeted her with a smile:
"Hello, Shenhe! Let introduce myself—I’m..."
But in the next instant, Shenhe suddenly slapped Su Yuan hard across the face, sending him sprawling to the ground!
Su Yuan was completely stunned by the unexpected slap, his cheek stinging with a fiery pain.
What was going on? He had only greeted her—why did Shenhe suddenly attack him?
"Bastard, you’re in my way!" Shenhe shouted angrily at him.
Su Yuan: ???
What was happening? Was this person really Shenhe?
