While the villagers were fawning over and praising Fang Xun,
Madam Ping, standing atop the mountain, fell into deep thought.
Her original plan was to personally intervene and protect the villagers.
However, she hadn't expected Fang Xun to act before her.
Not only that,
Fang Xun had single-handedly stopped the Ancient Rock Lizard's attack.
This surprised Madam Ping greatly.
Because she knew just how terrifying the destructive power of the original rock's breath was.
Madam Ping had once witnessed firsthand how an Ancient Rock Lizard's breath could effortlessly level a mountain peak.
Therefore, even the adepti wouldn't readily risk themselves when facing the Ancient Rock Lizard's breath.
However, Fang Xun did something that greatly surprised Madam Ping.
Fang Xun used his body to block the Ancient Rock Lizard's breath.
Not only did he block it,
but he also emerged completely unscathed.
This made Madam Ping feel incredibly incredulous.
So, most of the time, Madam Ping's gaze was fixed upon the Jade Shield in front of Fang Xun.
That Jade Shield was far too powerful.
Madam Ping felt the energy within it was comparable to a fairy's spell.
No,
that Jade Shield surpassed the spells of the immortals!
Why did Fang Xun possess power that exceeded that of immortals?
In her shock, Madam Ping also sensed a familiar aura from the shield.
That aura was surprisingly similar to the Geo Archon's!
So much so that for a moment, Madam Ping looked somewhat dazed.
A momentary lapse made her mistake Fang Xun's back for the Geo Archon himself!
Could it be that...
This young man named Fang Xun had some connection or even a contract with the Geo Archon?
Madam Ping was filled with indescribable amazement.
Of course,
what Madam Ping found most unbelievable was that
Fang Xun had actually succeeded in killing an Ancient Rock Lizard!
Madam Ping had lived for thousands of years, after all,
Having a certain understanding of the strength of these monsters in Liyue,
she knew full well that the Ancient Rock Lizard was covered in thick scales, its defense formidable.
Ordinary weapons and blades wouldn't do anything to it.
Only when Adepti used their Arts could this monster be suppressed.
But now,
Madam Ping witnessed it with her own eyes.
Fang Xun killed the Ancient Rock Lizard with just one spear strike!
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that Fang Xun's spear strike was comparable to the ultimate Dragon-Slaying Technique!
Even Madam Ping, standing on a distant mountaintop, still felt the overwhelming pressure.
As an adeptus who had lived through millennia, Madam Ping had long forgotten what it felt like to be oppressed. However, after witnessing Fang Xun unleash that ultimate spear strike, a long-dormant emotion stirred within her.
Madam Ping's initial intention was to assess Fang Xun's character. But everything that had transpired tonight had given her an unexpected reward.
At the very least, Madam Ping knew that Fang Xun's strength was not to be underestimated.
It wasn't surprising that the villagers would mistake Fang Xun for an immortal.
His spear strike truly possessed the bearing of a celestial being.
If there was anything lacking,
it was that the spear Fang Xun wielded was far too ordinary.
What immortal would use such useless scrap metal?
It seemed,
she'd have to find a time to gift Fang Xun a weapon.
Madam Ping's thought held both public and private considerations.
From a public perspective, Fang Xun deserves gifts from the Adepti for protecting the people of Liyue today.
From a personal perspective,
Madam Ping considered that if Fang Xun and Ganyu were to be together in the future,
it wouldn't be right if he didn't even have a decent weapon.
Speaking of Fang Xun.
Looking at the villagers kneeling on the ground with expressions of sincere reverence, Fang Xun spoke, "You should get up quickly. I'm not a celestial being; there's no need for such a grand gesture."
However, the villagers remained kneeling, unwilling to rise.
"The celestial being not only protected us just now but also dealt with that monster. Possessing such power is undoubtedly a celestial being."
"Yes, we implore the celestial being not to mind. This is our way of expressing gratitude!"
Fang Xun sighed and rubbed his forehead in helplessness.
He finally understood why little Ningguang was so stubborn.
It turned out the entire village adhered to its own principles.
And this principle was set in stone.
At this moment,
Ningguang reached out and tugged at her mother's clothes, gently introducing, "Mom, this is the Brother Fang Xun I told you about."
"Brother Fang Xun is very good to Ningguang,"
"Not only did he get Ningguang new clothes, but he also lent Ningguang money to buy a house, and that Vision is also being kept by Ningguang thanks to Brother Fang Xun."
Ningguang habitually recounted the events of the day to her mother.
Whenever she spoke of Fang Xun,
The little girl's tender face would unconsciously break into a sweet smile.
Those big, watery eyes were practically overflowing with happiness.
Ningguang's mother had indeed noticed that her daughter had changed into a beautiful dress when she returned tonight.
She had been a little surprised at the time,
but now, hearing Ningguang's words, everything made sense.
"So, Mr. Fang really treats you well."
Ningguang's mother's eyes couldn't help but moisten,
and when she looked at Fang Xun again, her expression was filled with indescribable gratitude.
Originally, Ningguang's mother had been quite self-reproachful,
Because her family was impoverished, she hadn't been able to give Ningguang a happy childhood.
But now, with Fang Xun's arrival,
Ningguang's mother could clearly feel that her daughter was much more cheerful than before.
This alone made Ningguang's mother very grateful to Fang Xun.
"Mm-hm! Brother Fang Xun said Ningguang will definitely become an excellent secretary in the future,"
"Ningguang wants to grow up quickly and then share the pressure with Mr. Fang!"
The little girl was earnest, full of anticipation for the future.
Ningguang's mother gently stroked little Ningguang's head, her gaze gentle: "Yes, Mr. Fang has helped our family so much."
"If we get the chance, we definitely need to repay him..."
"Mmhmm, Ningguang wants to repay Brother Fang Xun~"
The little girl's voice was so tender, yet so earnest.
