Now that he has paid off his debts and has the support of Master Feng, he rarely leaves home except at the morning market and at noon.
Less interaction with others means that the probability of making enemies with others is also greatly reduced.
From now on, as long as I improve my skills step by step, within a few years, my strength should be comparable to that of the holder of the Eye of God.
Shen Zhiyi had beautiful thoughts, however, just ten days later, he was visited by the Qianyan Army who were investigating the case.
007 The Wind Keeps Going
"Yun Yi, dead?"
Shen Zhiyi showed a surprised expression, but his heart was calm.
Whether the other person is alive or dead, it has nothing to do with him.
Unfortunately, the two Qianyan soldiers who came to question him didn't think so.
Yun Yi is an adventurer registered with the Adventurer's Association - even though he is the kind that has no fighting power at all - but in order to complete the commissions, he still interacts with many people every day.
It just so happens that this guy is a guy with arrogance to his bones.
From time to time, there will be disputes with people.
"Ten days ago, someone saw you and Yun Yi arguing." One of the Qianyan soldiers asked, "Can you tell me what you were arguing about?"
As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on the young man in front of him.
"Okay." Shen Zhiyi nodded calmly. "In fact, it's not a big deal. Since the two brothers have found me, you should know that a month ago, I asked the Adventurer's Association to find me a teacher who could teach me Liyue characters, and then Yun Yi applied for the job. During the teaching process, he felt that I was a promising talent, so he wanted to persuade me to take the path of official career."
"So, do you agree?" another Qianyan soldier continued the topic.
"I refused." Shen Zhiyi said calmly, "Not long ago, my father died of a serious illness, leaving me alone at home. At that time, we were in debt, and I managed to fill the hole after selling my original house. If it weren't for the kindness of my neighbors who were willing to buy the steamed buns I made, I might not even be able to rent this house now."
"You are good at talking." The Qianyan Army in front curled his lips, "The rent of the houses on both sides of Chihuyan Street is not cheap."
"Indeed." Shen Zhiyi did not deny, "It costs 40 Mora a month."
"Then you must have made a lot of money selling buns." The next Qianyan soldier asked again.
"It's all hard-earned money." Shen Zhiyi patted his head and said, "Look at my memory. You two have been standing at the door for a while, and I didn't even pour you a cup of tea."
As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled two Qianyan soldiers into the yard.
The Qianyan soldier who asked the question first dodged backwards, while the other one was caught red-handed.
Then, the latter's eyes lit up slightly, and he nudged his companion with his elbow and said, "I think he has nothing to do with the case we are investigating. If he really killed someone because of a quarrel, he would have done it long ago. Why would he wait so long?"

Upon hearing this, the other person glanced at the latter calmly, then stared at Shen Zhiyi for a while.
After a long while, he bowed and said, "Yes, I am sorry to bother you today."
The Qianyan soldier was about to turn around and leave, but at this moment, Shen Zhiyi suddenly stopped him and said, "Please wait a moment."
"Why, did you remember some details?" Qianyan Jun retracted his steps and asked.
"I just have a question that I would like to ask you two to help answer." Without giving the other party a chance to refuse, Shen Zhiyi continued, "The argument between Yun Yi and I that night took place in the living room. Moreover, neither of us spoke loudly at the time, and it only took two or three sentences."
“Then, here comes the problem.”
"How did the guy who claimed to have seen us arguing hear Yun Yi and I talking across the entire yard?"
"Or did he actually lie on the wall of my yard that night, watching Yun Yi and I's every move in the room?"
Shen Zhiyi and Yun Yi had been in contact for a month after all, so they naturally knew each other's character.
That guy thinks he has a noble family background and won't show weakness easily.
Things like quarrels with others will be hidden once you go out the door and there is no possibility that others will know about it.
In fact, that night, when Yun Yi left, apart from his somewhat cold expression, there was no sign that he had argued with him.
By then, it was already very late, and even though there were lanterns hanging on the streets, it was impossible to confirm Yun Yi's expression without looking carefully.
The two Qianyan soldiers looked at each other in silence. They admitted that they were stumped.
"I am Master Feng's registered disciple. I understand the rules of the Qianyan Army, so I won't ask about the identity of the 'witness.'" Shen Zhiyi nodded at his backer, "But if possible, please investigate him. Who knows, you may be able to find some key clues from that guy."
"……Thank you for reminding."
After seeing off the two Qianyan soldiers and closing the door, Shen Zhiyi put away the fake smile on his face and sighed.
He was not lamenting Yun Yi's death. Since he had already decided to treat the other party as a stranger, how could he care about the other party's life or death.
What Shen Zhiyi really cares about is his own weakness.
I thought that with Master Feng as my backer, I could withstand most of the troubles.
Who would have thought that problems would arise after just a few days of peaceful life.
He was not interested in how Yun Yi died.
The novel of Xianxun: The story of the nine clams of the angel
But any two Qianyan soldiers could question him as if they were interrogating a suspect, which made Shen Zhiyi very unhappy.
If I hadn't secretly given out two 10 Mora silver notes, I don't know how those two people would have questioned me next.
"Sure enough, if you rely on the mountain, the mountain will fall; if you rely on people, they will run away."
Only when you are strong within yourself can you be truly strong.
But, this is also where the problem lies.
Shen Zhiyi's system is not the kind of super plug-in that can rival the holder of the Eye of God in three days and achieve the combat power of a demon god in a year.
㈨㈤0一8090九
This kind of God-rewarding system, where one needs to rely on one's own efforts to improve one's strength, can only guarantee that one will be very strong in the future, but not necessarily now.
Shen Zhiyi currently does not have absolute strength.
Then, you need to work harder in other areas, such as reputation and status.
In Liyue, wealth can be equated with status to a certain extent.
If Shen Zhiyi was a big businessman living in Feiyunpo or Yujingtai, then even if the Qianyan Army came to question him, the person who would show up would definitely be a coach or a civilian staff member working in Yuehaiting.
However, if you really focus on making money, then the time you have to improve your strength will be greatly reduced.
Not to mention the political arena. Liyue has existed for more than two thousand years, and the important positions in the so-called Seven Stars and Eight Gates have long been divided up by aristocratic families and various big businessmen.
Trying to carve out a bloody path out of it is as difficult as asking Shen Zhiyi to challenge the devil right now.
Since the business and political circles are not working, the only option left is the literary and artistic circles.
Going further down, it can be further divided into the literary world and the art world.
The former includes poetry, songs, essays and novels, while the latter includes calligraphy, chess, and painting.
Before Shen Zhiyi traveled through time, he was a typical science guy. When asked to type code, he could produce a program with a simple structure and good operation.
But asking him to write articles would definitely cost him half his life.
But as the saying goes, if you read 300 Tang poems, you will be able to copy them even if you can't write them.
When I was in school, I had watched so many movies, TV shows and novels. Pick out any one of them and it won’t shock the literary world immediately, but it shouldn’t be difficult to get an entry ticket to this class.
So, which story should I copy?
008 Tianquan Situation
After some consideration, Shen Zhiyi chose "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
The culture of Liyue is very similar to that of Donghuang where he lived in his previous life.
And because immortals and gods really do exist, stories about immortality and martial arts have always been popular among the people.
Of course, the most popular among them are the many legends about the rock god Morax transforming into a human form and wandering the world.
Shen Zhiyi is very clear about his literary literacy. He knows that if he describes a story from scratch, not only will it fail, it will most likely not even pass the editor's initial review.
But if we just take the novel that has proven itself in the previous life and translate it again into the common language of Teyvat and the language of Liyue, it is not impossible to do.
Shen Zhiyi also did not intend to change many of the settings in the original work. He just wrote in the prologue with his slightly immature writing style that this was a story that took place in another world.
Although the 2-point spiritual attribute cannot allow Shen Zhiyi to clearly remember every word and detail in the novel, the general plot can be described in Liyue language.
As the "translation" continued, the experience gained from the Teyvatian common language and Liyue characters in the skill column began to gradually increase after the level was reached.
However, just when Shen Zhiyi had just started, the total number of words had not even reached 3% of the original work.
The gate of his courtyard was knocked again.
This time, the person who appeared in front of Shen Zhiyi was Master Feng’s son Feng Yan.
"Brother Feng, why are you here? You didn't even tell me before you came so I could prepare some side dishes in advance."
As Master Feng's registered disciple, Shen Zhiyi naturally knew Feng Yan.
In fact, it was not just him. Shen Zhiyi had also met Master Feng's group of direct disciples who served in the Qianyan Army under Master Feng's introduction.
Although the relationship between the two sides is not close, they will nod to each other when they meet on the road.
Logically speaking, Feng Yan, who knew the true relationship between Shen Zhiyi and Master Feng, would never come here.
but now……
As soon as he entered the yard, Feng Yan clasped his fist towards Shen Zhiyi and said, "Junior Brother Zhiyi, I'm sorry for what happened this afternoon. I got you involved."
Novel ⑨ 50180㈨○⑨
Shen Zhiyi was stunned when he heard this, then he reacted.
What the other party was talking about should be what happened after Yun Yi's death, when he was interrogated by the Qianyan Army.
I originally thought that this was Liyue’s normal review process, but now it seems... I seem to have been accidentally involved in a game between two or even multiple high-level parties?
Although he had some guesses in his mind, on the surface, Shen Zhiyi still maintained a puzzled look.
"Forgive me for being so slow, I don't quite understand what you mean."
Feng Yan looked at the young man in front of him seriously. Before coming here, his father had reminded him not to treat his junior brother as an ordinary person.
So, after just a moment's hesitation, he reported what he knew: "Junior brother, do you know that in three months at the shortest and half a year at the longest, the current Tianquan Star will have to step down from his position?"
Shen Zhiyi shook his head: "Before Senior Brother talked about it, I didn't know, but now I know."
"Naughty." Feng Yan patted Shen Zhiyi's head in annoyance and continued, "Currently, there are three people who have publicly declared that they want to compete for the throne of Tianquan Star. They are Boyong from the Su family, Wen Hai from the Li family, and Yan Qing who works in the General Affairs Department."
"Both the Su and Li families have had Seven Stars in their ancestors. Over the years, as their businesses have grown, the power under their command has become more and more intertwined in the Eight Gates."
"Since the announcement of becoming the Tianquan Star, many people have chosen to join the camp of these two people, including many of my colleagues."
Shen Zhiyi nodded. As for the merit of following the dragon, with Liyue's political system, if he wins the bet, he can guarantee himself and his family's wealth for thirty or forty years. If he loses the bet, he will just not be promoted in this lifetime. As for the situation like in his previous life, where he chose the wrong side and led to the extinction of his clan, let's not talk about whether the other six of the Seven Stars will allow you, Tianquan Star, to do this. Don't forget that above the system of Seven Stars and Eight Gates, there is the Rock God Morax, also known as the Emperor, as the ultimate insurance.
This is a highly profitable business, and Shen Zhiyi himself would not mind taking a chance.
"As for Yan Qing, according to the information I have collected, he was actually pushed forward by Secretary Gan Yu from the General Affairs Department to compete with the first two."
"Compared to the two from the Su and Li families, Yan Qing's resume is much simpler. He was born in a poor family, worked hard to enter the Eight Gates system when he was young, and was promoted step by step to the General Affairs Department. He should have talent, and it is not small, but the most important thing is that there are not so many interest groups behind him."
"So, Senior Brother Feng, you are working for Yan Qing now?" Shen Zhiyi asked.
Unexpectedly, the other party shook his head after hearing this.
"No, our family is neutral. My father told me to focus on my job as a member of the Qianyan Army and not to worry about other things for the time being."
Master Feng almost stepped into the core of power in Liyue back then, and he could indeed be called a shrewd man. Unfortunately, his destiny was not on his side, so he can only stay at home and hope that his son will become successful.
Although Feng Yan is not as capable as Master Feng, he is able to listen to advice and not act rashly.
pity……
"During this period, the struggles between the successors of Tianquan have become more and more obvious, and even their respective helpers have tried every possible means." At this point, Feng Yan showed an angry expression, "For example, in the Yunyi incident this time, the guy had actually been dead for three days. The coroner said that he fell into the river because he was drunk and drowned in it. As a result, the people of the Su family and the Li family refused to believe it, and they entangled in the issue of Yunyi's suicide and homicide for two days, and then they found a bunch of so-called witnesses and physical evidence, and attacked the third party, trying to eliminate Yan Qing, who was the weakest, in advance."
"As for our family, ha..." Feng Yan sighed, "We are just innocent innocents. In the eyes of the Li and Su families, anyone who doesn't belong to them or other six-star forces is an enemy."
"Now, has this problem been solved?" Shen Zhiyi asked.
He was not interested in the power clashes among the Liyue high-level officials, but he cared a lot about his backers, or protective umbrellas.
"In the afternoon, my father lost his dignity and ran to his former superior's house to cry and complain. This was considered to have resolved the incident, but..."
