I'm a male god in Liyue

The next morning, Zhu Zi returned from outside with a new newspaper and, as usual, read it aloud to the boss.

Reading the entertainment section, you'll find freshly made scandals, complete with photographic evidence.

Xia Zhi looked up, slightly surprised.

"Did Miss Ningguang come to the store last night?"

"I don't know. Boss, you said at dinner last night that everyone should rest early, so we closed the shop early and went back to our rooms."

"You didn't hear the knocking, did you?"

"no!"

"I see... I understand."

Xia Zhi lowered his head thoughtfully.

Although Ms. Ningguang visited late at night, since she didn't knock, it probably wasn't anything important.

After breakfast, Grandma Ping brought Yao Yao to the shop, and the two True Lords also arrived.

Gan Yu did not go back to Yuehai Pavilion this time, but went to school with everyone else.

Tomorrow is the school's opening ceremony, and she has already arranged the work of the secretariat and set aside two days for herself to participate.

Upon arriving at the school, the first thing everyone noticed was the two huge stone tablets standing at the entrance.

The left stele is covered with names, while the right stele is currently blank.

Ke Qing and Zhong Li were standing by the stone tablet, waiting for everyone to arrive.

Diona asked curiously, "Why isn't there any inscription on the stone on the right?"

Ke Qing explained with a smile, "Because the list hasn't been finalized yet, this stone tablet is used to inscribe the names of all the faculty and staff of the first school."

Xia Zhi nodded: "Everyone is free to explore now. Miss Ke Qing, Mr. Zhong Li, and I are going to discuss some serious matters."

"Good boss!"

The girls agreed and dispersed in twos and threes, laughing.

The two True Lords stood still.

Li Shui Zhenjun looked up at his name, which was engraved second on the stone tablet.

Why is your name listed before mine?

"Because I do more work than you."

"how is this possible?"

Lord Lishui frowned slightly.

“I clearly worked an extra night more than you.”

"That's what you think."

"What do you mean by that...?"

"I'm a fortune teller, you don't think I didn't know you sneaked out in the middle of the night, do you?"

"……so?"

"So, actually, I worked one more night than you."

"..."

Li Shui Zhenjun looked at Xiao Yue Zhenjun, remained silent for a while, and then shook his head helplessly.

"I'm really impressed by you."

As the school principal, Xia Zhi had many things to handle at this time.

However, because the vice principals were all very capable and had already resolved all the problems, he became quite idle.

But it's not good to just wander around aimlessly; I should at least help out with something.

So Xia Zhi thought about it and decided to go to the kitchen to help his apprentice Xiang Ling cook.

Halfway there, a strange thought popped into his mind: Could it be that everyone is so eager to help me solve this problem just so I can have time to cook?

In the afternoon, the Jade Pavilion, which was originally floating above the Jade Capital Platform, was manipulated to come to the side of the school.

Two enormous buildings with completely different styles float side by side in the sky, creating a surprisingly harmonious feeling.

Ningguang came from the Qunyu Pavilion.

"Did Miss Ningguang come to see me last night?"

"Yes, I originally wanted to talk to Mr. Xia about some things related to the school, but I didn't expect you to be resting, so I gave up."

"I'm sorry to have made Miss Ningguang come all this way for nothing."

"It's alright, I came here unexpectedly anyway, and we can still talk now."

"Ah."

Ms. Ningguang made no mention of why such a photo appeared in the newspaper.

But that's not important.

In the evening, Xiao also rushed to the school from Guiliyuan.

He is a golden-winged roc, riding the wind at an extremely fast speed.

A moment later, Xiao appeared silently outside the door and knocked.

Zhongli glanced at the door and nodded: "Xiao, come in."

Xiao pushed open the door and saw Zhongli, the two True Lords, and Granny Ping playing cards inside.

"Emperor..."

"Come in and sit down."

"Yes."

Xiao silently walked in, moved a chair, and sat down next to the Emperor, watching the four of them play cards.

Grandma Ping looked at Xiao and felt that his expression was much better than before, which put her at ease.

Xiao watched for a while, then said softly, "Your Majesty, about the Abyss of Layered Rocks that I mentioned to you last time..."

A deep abyss of layered rock?

The other three were startled and looked up at them.

Zhongli looked down at the cards and slowly said, "This journey may be risky, but you insist on going... to pong..."

Xiao paused for a moment, then said, "I have been ordered by the Emperor to guard Guili Plain for over a hundred years and have never left without permission. Only regarding the matter of the nameless yaksha, I humbly request the Emperor's permission."

His tone sounded very serious.

The three True Lords exchanged glances while playing cards.

It was rare to see Xiao make such a request. As a Yaksha, especially after the disappearance of the other four Yakshas, ​​he became even more silent and aloof.

Zhongli continued playing cards: "In that case, you should go."

Xiao bowed slightly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhongli then asked, "How is your body now?"

Xiao replied, "After Mr. Xia treated me, all the karmic obstacles that had accumulated in my body have disappeared. There shouldn't be any risks on this trip. Moreover... Mr. Xia also gave me something as a gift."

"Oh?"

Xiao revealed the string of Bodhi beads on his hand.

Lord Lishui looked at it and said, "On the day of the Lantern Festival, I saw this thing suddenly appear in your hand while we were eating at the shop. What is its use?"

“At the time, I didn’t know either. Mr. Xia just said that this thing might be helpful to me. It wasn’t until I went back to guard Guili Plain and continued to kill evil spirits that I discovered its true use.”

"What is it?"

"It can help me eliminate karmic obstacles."

"!"

The three True Lords were all taken aback.

"It actually has this ability?"

Xiao nodded: "I have tried it many times. Every time I kill evil spirits, I only need to turn the string of beads to eliminate the effects of my karma."

Zhongli glanced at the beaded string in his hand: "This is precious; you should thank Mr. Xia properly."

"Um……"

Jianxiao seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

Zhongli then asked, "Is there any other story behind this?"

Xiao hesitated for a moment before saying, "Yes, Mr. Xia did not give this to me for no reason. He also made a condition to me."

"What conditions... I won..."
