Ying and Paimon, who had returned from Guiliyuan, were invited to Sanwanbuogang. It was already dark and Liyue's lanterns were lit on time.
Zhongli was already sitting at the outdoor table in the tavern, waiting for the two of them to arrive.
"Zhongli~ Here we come."
The sharp-eyed Paimon greeted Zhongli at the table from a long distance away, attracting strange looks from passers-by.
Ying, who was following behind, had a blushing face, as if he had just finished some strenuous exercise. He pulled Paimeng and flew towards the wooden table where Zhongli was sitting. Under the surprised gaze of the person involved, he picked up the tea on the table and sat down. Drink hard.
"Ahem...we are going to Guiliyuan to complete the commission!"
Paimon lay on the shoulder of the girl who was struggling to drink water, and wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead.
"I met a huge Qiuqiuyan Armored King!"
Xiao Emergency Food was also about to explain to Zhongli the dangers the two had experienced, but was unexpectedly interrupted ruthlessly by Zhongli.
"Well, in that case, please sit down."
The emperor raised his eyebrows, the hand holding the tea cup paused slightly, and the red marks at the end of his eyes swayed slightly.
Guili was originally a place guarded by Jinpeng Yaksha, and there should never be Qiuqiuyan Armor King wreaking havoc.
When Zhongli mentioned Gui Liyuan, the image of Gui Liyuan with wide sleeves and bright eyes appeared in his mind.
The raging monsters, the chaotic battlefield, and the stone locks and relieved eyes that were finally handed to him.
Although I know that final departure is also a kind of wear and tear, the time spent drinking and having fun with old friends will still be revealed occasionally.
It was getting late, and the lights of thousands of houses in Liyue Port illuminated half of the sky, exuding a bustling and joyful atmosphere.
"There is no need to place an order. I have already ordered the food. This three-bowl restaurant is not one of those taverns in Mondstadt. Here, the owner of the tavern refuses to provide unscrupulous things like juice."
Zhongli's attention finally turned from the street scene in Liyue back to Ying and Paimon.
"Great!"
Paimon, who was pouting and sulking, immediately cheered when he heard that there was something delicious.
"So this time... I can only drink?"
After regaining her breath, Ying blinked. Except for the time in Mondstadt when she advanced the money for drinks to Wendy and Famas, she had never had any drinks.
But even so, thinking about what happened when he was drunk, Ying still felt that it would be better to drink less.
"It's Wendy's favorite place. If he comes to Liyue, wouldn't he be able to stay drunk every day?"
Paimon looked at Zhongli expectantly, waiting for his response.
"So this time, I ordered fermented rice dumplings for you."
Zhongli nodded slightly with a squinted smile.
After hearing Zhongli's words, the girl's face showed an expected expression: "Sure enough, Mr. Zhongli will not let us drink."
"Ouch~ Do you only have two bowls of dumplings?"
Paimon looked at the two bowls of fermented rice dumplings brought by the waiter with disappointment.
She was ready for a big meal.
"But... I also ordered some special dishes for Paimon kids to go with the wine, so feel free to eat."
Zhongli, who was sitting upright, took a leisurely breath of tea.
In Liyue's wine shops, there are storytellers who are similar to bards. Except for the rare playing, they play basically the same role.
Liyue is a country where thousands of sails gather, and there are many travelers from other countries in the wine shop. In the evening, this is the most suitable place for drinking and listening to stories.
Tian Tiezui's hearty voice sounded: "If you gentlemen are willing to listen, I will continue to talk about Lord Ningguang's Qunyu Pavilion."
"Wow... there are storytellers here, it's such a nice atmosphere."
Paimon held the roast chicken in his arms and listened to the storyteller's story with his ears perked up in enjoyment.
"The so-called wine shop that is highly praised by the market must not only have good wine, but also have a good environment. But the environment mentioned here and the elegant environment of a large restaurant have two different meanings."
Zhongli folded his arms and explained to Paimon softly.
Tian Tiezui on the stage smiled and began to elegantly tell the legendary story of Liyue.
"Everyone knows that above our port, there is the Yunshang Immortal Mansion and the Yanxia Palace."
"What do you mean, hands and eyes reach the sky? Look, this is called the hands and eyes reach the sky. This is the sky-reaching property purchased by Lord Ningguang."
"On a clear day, look down from the deck outside the palace gate! Huo, that's the scenery of most of Liyue Port!"
As he talked about Tianquan Ningguang and Qunyu Pavilion, the dazzling golden figure who fought Famas on the Yujing platform gradually appeared in Ying's mind.
As a Tianquan star, Ningguang holds great power in business and is the wealthy businessman in Liyue who knows how to do business best.
Tianquan Ningguang, who is the most powerful person in the country, has far-sightedness. He saved money since childhood to build the jade pavilion suspended in the sky. From a small place, he built the sky villa as huge as a hill.
The person Liyue merchants admire the most, besides Yan Shen, is her. Anyone who has the opportunity to board the Qunyu Pavilion to discuss business with Ning Guang will surely rise to the top in the future.
Even the scraps of paper that Ning Guang tore off from the information board in the Jade Pavilion were regarded as treasures by people.
As for Yuheng Keqing, who is also a Seven Star, when Famas lit the kite, Ying and Paimon also had a preliminary understanding of this resolute Seven Star.
After listening to the story told by Tian Tiezui, Paimeng always felt that the most talked about person in Liyue was Ning Guang. The people of Liyue respected her, while the fools of Winter Kingdom hated her. Hidden Immortal Ancestor Fa Shen It seems to be her too.
During the ceremony of inviting immortals, Ningguang's stunning beauty and majestic attitude were astonishing, just like Captain Qin who acted cautiously and seriously.
But in terms of momentum, he was completely different from Captain Qin, making people afraid to approach him.
Yingba slurped up the rice dumplings while eating them. Although he couldn't drink wine, the soft and glutinous texture of the dumplings seemed more comfortable than drinking alcohol.
"Zhongli, when can we see our ancestor Fa Shen?"
Paimon puffed up his cheeks and asked Zhongli vaguely with the food in his mouth that had not yet been swallowed.
"There's no rush. The Seven Stars are probably still in a tense state right now. Although there is a complete emergency plan after Yan Shen's death, internal and external troubles are not so easy to solve."
Zhongli sat upright. Although his tone was calm, the words he spoke could not help but make people feel nervous.
"Ah, by the way, there is also the mysterious Famas!"
Paimon wiped his hands on the edge of the table without being too dirty, and then gently touched Ying, who was eating elegantly, with his elbow.
"Ying, Mr. Zhongli is so knowledgeable, why don't we also ask about Famas?"
The little mascot flew to Ying's ear and whispered something. His weak breath tickled the girl's ears, and she nodded unconsciously.
"hey-hey."
"Mr. Zhongli!"
Paimeng obediently turned to Zhongli and gently shook the arm of the guest of the Hall of Rebirth.
"What is your relationship with Famas?"
"I always feel like you are hiding something from Lord Paimon!"
