The only thing that made them worried was Zhongli, this idler in society.
They asked many people, but no one had seen any trace of Zhongli, so they thought something had happened to him.
Unexpectedly, when they were about to go to the Wangsheng Hall to inquire about Zhongli's news, they ran into him on the street.
Chapter 675 It doesn’t matter if you tear this place down
"When the disaster occurred, I happened to be with Master Hu to handle some matters. I was not in Liyue Harbor. Thank you for your concern."
An unconscious smile appeared on his face. Now... he gave people a distinctly different feeling.
If he still had a little relationship with Emperor Yanwang before, now that Qixing has announced the time for the Immortal Sending Ceremony, it is an indirect acknowledgement of his departure.
Therefore, as long as he handed over his God's Heart and waited for the end of the Immortal Sending Ceremony, there would no longer be a god named Morax in this world, and only a guest official of the Hall of Rebirth named Zhongli would remain.
"I'm glad you're okay. Little Paimon and I have experienced something incredible. It's much more exciting than Tian Tiezui's story."
"Yes, yes!"
Ying has met many people.
There are superiors, immortals, and even some guys who are not sure whether they can be considered human beings.
But only the middle-aged man in front of her named Zhongli gave her the feeling of an "elder".
She didn't know why she felt this way, but when she did something amazing and wanted to show off to others, the first person she thought of, besides her brother, was Zhongli in front of her.
"Really? I'm going to the Yanshang Teahouse for tea. Why don't you come with me? I'll listen to you slowly when we get there."
As a bystander, Zhongli can be said to have witnessed the entire process of the battle.
However, if Ying was willing to talk to him, he wouldn't mind listening to the "Traveler's" insights on the battle.
"Hey, you need us to pay for three bowls. Are you sure you can afford to go to a place like Yanshang Teahouse? I heard that you can't get in there just by having money!"
He put his hands on his hips and stamped his feet.
Paimeng, who claimed to know Zhongli very well, was the first to raise his doubts.
She and Ying had been to places like the Yanshang Teahouse before.
But as soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by the bodyguard.
Although I don't understand what the two generals Heng and Ha that Ying mentioned are, no matter how you look at it, those guys are not easy to mess with, right
She even saw with her own eyes that the people inside threw out a guy who looked like a nouveau riche, and the guy who was thrown out didn't even dare to fart.
"Don't worry, I can still afford one Mora."
Spreading his hands, Zhongli said.
In fact, he didn't have a single mora in his pocket, but even if it was just one mora, he still needed to keep accounts.
Fortunately, the female receptionist at Yanshang Tea House already knew him, so money and other things... ... were no longer a problem at all.
"So is it your mysterious friend again?"
With a slightly helpless sigh, Ying now gives people the feeling that... ...she is facing an elder who has bought a bunch of health products and is very proud of herself.
He always felt that he was cheated, but he didn't know how to solve this problem.
"Just follow me."
Zhongli didn't explain too much. He smiled slightly and motioned for the two to follow him.
Perhaps because they were worried that he would have no money to eat and be thrown out, Ying and Paimeng finally followed him.
Speaking of which, this Yanshang Teahouse is also amazing.
In the previous disaster, even the core area of Liyue City, Feiyunpo, was affected to a certain extent, and some buildings were damaged so severely that they required long-term repair and maintenance.
However, the teahouse located between Feiyunpo and Chihuyan was not greatly affected and even resumed business immediately after the incident.
It is said that there is a big shot behind this teahouse, and the people working here are all hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and each of them is extraordinary.
The most important thing is the symbol on the plaque - Fatui.
This means that there must be a certain relationship between this place and the Fatui.
Perhaps her experience in Mondstadt left her with a bad impression, so she has always had a deep prejudice against the Fatui.
But the Fatui's act of saving people in Liyue City still made her look at them with new eyes.
The stories circulating in the city about the Fatui saving ordinary residents made her wonder if she had heard it wrongly.
Are the Fatui really that kind
She suspected these guys were up to something, but she couldn't find any evidence.
When he reached the door of Yanshang Tea House, Zhongli didn't even stop and walked straight in.
After noticing the sharp looks of the two bodyguards at the door, Paimon quickly hid behind Ying and urged her to find a solution.
Even if the bodyguards really took action, they would not be able to resist. After all, they could not be considered good people for breaking into other people's shops.
But
"Mr. Zhongli, you are here."
The two people, who were fully armed and looked difficult to mess with, actually took the initiative to greet Zhongli and even helped him open the door themselves.
Wow, is Zhongli so proud here
You have to know that the two bodyguards at the door always acted indifferent to whoever they met.
This is the first time I've seen someone take the initiative to curry favor with someone.
"These two are my friends, could you please help me?"
After saying thank you, Zhongli pointed at the two people behind him and asked.
After noticing this, Paimon also gave a sweet and friendly smile very appropriately.
At the same time, she did not forget to nudge Ying beside her with her elbow, asking her to follow her.
Originally Ying thought that this would put the bodyguards in a difficult position.
Unexpectedly, after hearing Zhongli's words, they did not even hesitate and said directly: "Look at what you said, the boss said that you are a distinguished guest here, let alone bringing people in, even if you tear this place down, we will help you."
There is no doubt that in the Yanshang Tea House, Zhongli's status is second only to Bai Luo.
His words were almost the same as Bai Luo's.
Under the guidance of Zhongli, Ying and Paimon finally entered this mysterious teahouse.
"What? It seems to be no different from Xinyuexuan."
After entering the tea room, Paimeng flew around the tea room and took a thorough look at the situation there.
In her opinion, the decoration here is no different from Xinyuexuan, and is even worse than that restaurant.
There was not a single guest in the entire hall except for a receptionist. It was extremely deserted.
"The guests of this Yanshang Teahouse are not ordinary people. They don't bother to drink tea in the hall, and almost all of them drink tea in the private rooms, so... this place can be said to be reserved by us."
Just as Zhongli said, but he didn’t say it all.
Not wanting to have tea in the lobby is one thing, but these guests with connections and influences usually come here for business or other matters that are inconvenient to discuss outside.
No matter how the service at the Yanshang Tea House is, there is one thing that makes everyone who comes here very satisfied, and that is that it provides an absolutely safe space. And this absolutely safe space is the real reason why these people come here.
Chapter 676 Do you know Bai Luo
"Mr. Zhongli, is it still the same old rules?"
After Zhongli took Ying and the others to sit in the old place, Chu Yi appeared beside them in a timely manner and asked.
Facing the curious gazes of Ying and Paimon, she behaved very appropriately and did not peek at them.
There was a reason why she was chosen by her previous employer and kept as a receptionist.
Her service quality is among the best in the entire Liyue City.
"There are two more friends today, so please serve some food appropriately."
Yanshang Tea House does not have a menu. In fact, it only provides tea and snacks, not too many main dishes.
This is a tea room after all.
But this rule only applies to ordinary guests. For Zhongli and Bai Luo and others, this place is whatever they want it to be.
Again, it is not impossible to demolish the hall and use it as a hot spring.
"Understood. Please wait a moment. We will go and invite the chefs from Xinyuexuan and Liuliting over."
Why didn't Bai Luo chase Chu Yi away even though she installed steel plates on the windows so many times
Besides being too lazy to find a new receptionist, the most important thing is that she has a good eye.
Sometimes she only needs one sentence to fully understand what others want.
"Ah? Are you going to invite the chefs from those two restaurants? I heard that the chefs from those two restaurants only cook for their own restaurants."
As a gourmet who has eaten himself into emergency food, Paimeng also has a certain understanding of Xinyuexuan and Liuliting.
They had tried to ask the chefs from both families to help with cooking before, but they were simply unwilling to do so.
Although he is familiar with the situation in the kitchen, he cannot perform to his full potential in other areas.
"Don't worry, guests. No one we invite will refuse to come."
There was still a sweet smile on her face, but what Chu Yi said scared Paimeng so much that he quickly hid behind Ying.
She always felt that the "please" from the other party was not an ordinary please.
After Chu Yi left, Zhongli and Ying also started talking.
"Traveler, remember you said before that you traveled through the seven kingdoms in search of the seven gods."
Zhongli personally poured a cup of hot tea for Ying and asked casually.
"Well, I just didn't expect that the Rock God would die at this critical moment. After finishing things in Liyue, I plan to leave for the next country to find the next god."
She didn't stay in Liyue for a long time, but it was definitely thrilling.
Compared to Mondstadt, which has no gods' protection and is ruled by only the Knights, the various body shapes in Liyue can be described as perfect.
If it weren't for the help of the ronin who called himself Battousai, she probably wouldn't have had such a smooth life in Liyue.
"Before you leave, if you have any questions, you can consult me. Maybe my knowledge is not as good as that of the so-called gods, but I can still help you solve your doubts."
Pushing the poured tea in front of Ying, Zhongli spoke.
"As for problems... there are quite a few."
Ying said, looking up at the plaque hanging in the center of the hall.
This kind of decorative plaque has four large characters written on it: [Quietness Leads to Far-reaching Aspects], which is very common in Liyue.
What’s important is not the content of the plaque, but the symbol in the corner of the plaque.
Although the symbol representing the Fatui is inconspicuous, due to its special nature, no one who comes here will ignore it.
"Go ahead and ask. You've done so much for Liyue, so consider this as my gift in return."
Whether it is Zhongli as an ordinary person or Morax as the Geo King, he has the obligation to do so.
"Mr. Zhongli, you should be quite familiar with the Fatui, right? Do you know anyone among them?"
Ying asked this, is he going to raise an army to hold him accountable
That's not the case. As a traveler, she has never asked her companions or friends not to associate with certain people, or asked them to do certain things.
She knew that these people had their own social circles, and she had neither the obligation nor the right to interfere with other people's social circles.
She just wanted to understand something through this.
Zhongli knew the mysterious boss behind this Teahouse on the Rock, and the background of this Teahouse on the Rock was the Fatui, and his position was probably not low.
She felt that she should be able to get some useful information from Zhongli.
"I know him a little bit, what's the matter?"
He and Bai Luo are old acquaintances. He also knows Tartaglia who is causing trouble under the Abyss and Rosaline who is slacking off in the Northland Bank, so it is okay to say this.
