The Golden Tree Standing in Teyvat World

Chapter 316
Xiangling looked at the two people who were shaking hands with smiles on their faces, and whispered to Xingqiu: "Xingqiu, let me tell you."

"Ok?"

"Could you lend me a few books to read after you go back? Choose the ones you think are well written." Xiangling said in a low voice, "I don't know if my literature level is not up to standard, and I can't tell if it's good or bad."

Chongyun smiled awkwardly and replied, "I don't think it's your problem."

"Chong Yun is right, it's not our problem." Xing Qiu nodded in agreement.

"Pimon, read it carefully, and write it well. You may use it when you come up with a nickname in the future."

"That makes sense." Paimon nodded with a smile and said, "Speaking of which, why are the singers here? Are they also here to participate in the Sea Lantern Festival?"

"I heard that Liyue is going to hold the Sea Lantern Music Festival this year. As a poet, how can I resist the temptation not to come and see it?" Wendy replied: "Art is to collide with each other to generate sparks of inspiration. "

"Speaking of the Fontaine friend who hosted the event, I saw him near Shimen."

"The rainbow tour has finally been successfully held once, so I have to congratulate him."

"He must be very grateful." Ying nodded.

"You don't need to be so polite between us." Wendy said here, and changed the subject: "Speaking of which, I saw several of you in Xinyuexuan before, but I didn't notice that I was nearby."

"It should be said that I hid it too well, or some people ignored the wind."

Seeing Wendy cast his gaze here, Liusu said expressionlessly: "I'm just an ordinary person, Liyue Harbor is so big, Xinyuexuan is a bustling street, and there are so many hawkers on the street, how could I pay attention to it?" What about the little wind?"

Wendy: "."

"Miss Liusu is right. Every Sea Lantern Festival, Liyue Port is full of people." Zhong Li nodded and echoed, "Everyone is busy admiring the lanterns and shopping, so it's inevitable that they will go out impromptuly when they are in the mood. It's hard for anyone to predict other people's movements. "

"At present, the celebration is progressing smoothly, and the gathering of new and old friends is a beautiful thing worth celebrating."

"It's a joy to be here with all of you at the start of the new year."

"In this situation, please allow me to offer a toast to everyone with tea instead of wine."

elf:"???"

As he spoke, Zhong Li picked up a cup of tea and stood up under Mandrill's surprised gaze.

"Mr. Zhongli is right, you have finished what I want to say!" Liusu also stood up and said, "The rude behavior before must have offended Shangxian, so I will take this opportunity to say no to Shangxian, please allow I will offer you a toast with tea instead of wine!"

elf:"!!!"

"Me too." Wendy also stood up and said, "I'm a little embarrassed when I say this. I am an unexpected guest who suddenly broke into the party. Didn't I cause too much trouble for everyone?"

"In Mond, we all drink alcohol at this time, but Mr. Zhongli insists on drinking tea, so I will offer you a cup of tea too! Thank you for your hospitality!"

elf:"."

"Be courteous! My hall master is the host, everyone eats and drinks well." Hu Tao said with a smile: "And tassels, the Great Sage Conquering Demons will definitely not mind your behavior, so don't be so polite."

"The reason why there is only tea is because everyone may have activities after the meal."

Mandrill: "Uh"

Seeing this, Pai Meng hurriedly said to Ying: "The three of them suddenly started offering tea, do we want it?"

"Drill!" Ying suddenly said.

"Why panic!?" Mandrill replied immediately.

Looking at Mandrill who was pretending to be calm, Ying suggested aloud, "Are you full? Do you want to go for a walk?"

Mandrill sighed, "Yes."

"Have you both finished eating?" Hu Tao asked suspiciously, "Going out to get some fresh air, it's also good to digest food."

"Hey, hey, then me too"

Seeing that Paimon wanted to follow, Ying turned to him and said, "Paimon isn't full yet."

"Uh, actually."

Paimon wanted to say something more, but Ying interrupted: "Don't worry, we'll go back as soon as we go."

"Okay. Be sure to come back!" Paimon replied with some worry: "Remember to come back soon!"

"Honestly, I'm afraid I might say the wrong thing."

After Ying and Mandrill went out, the few people present gathered together in twos and threes.

"This friend, you seem to know a lot about wine." Zhongli said to Wendy.

Wendy waved her hand and said, "Where is it, I can only have a good drink, and I can't compare to Mr. Zhongli."

"Fortunately, it's for tea this time. Otherwise, if I'm not able to drink enough and get drunk and talk nonsense, wouldn't it be a joke for Mr. Zhongli and Miss Liusu who I just met?"

"Don't dare. You are a guest invited by Master Hu, how dare I laugh at you?"

Liusu said with a serious face: "You are a famous bard in Mond, and I am an ordinary person that almost no one knows in Liyue. How dare I laugh at you like this?"

"Hey, hey, that's too much. You don't joke when you say it, but you never stop laughing!"

"I'm professional, no matter how funny it is, I won't laugh unless I can't help it."

Wendy: "."

"Okay, okay, the travelers are gone, so you two don't arrange me." Wendy said via voice transmission.

Zhong Li asked suspiciously, "Oh? Is there something wrong?"

"One thing, is there any deep meaning in your actions just now? Look at the scares of others." Wendy responded, rubbing her chin.

"There's no deep meaning to it. It's just that life is too monotonous. Add a little flavor to life." Liusu replied, "In short, it's just being idle."

Wendy: "."

"Why don't you give Mandrill two knocks at that time? I think his expression at that time will definitely be very exciting."

"If you want to knock you knock, the traveler is still here, I won't be laughed at if I knock one!"

"Oh? You mean that if the traveler is not there, you can knock, right?"

"Is that what I mean?!" Wendy said this, glanced at Tassel and said, "What's the benefit of knocking me?"

"Well, let me think about it." After Liusu pretended to think for a while, she spread her hands under Wendy's expectant eyes and said, "No."

Wendy: "."

I just knew that you shouldn't be counted on for this kind of thing, I'm so stupid, really.

At the same time, outside the door of Xinyuexuan.

"Are you okay?" Mandrill asked.

Ying glanced at Mandrill, who was still pretending to be calm, and said, "I should ask you this question."

elf:"."

Mandrill sighed and said, "I can't say anything."

"Haven't you seen a picture like this before?"

"It's not about the scene." Mandrill replied: "In the past, the Immortal also had many guys who liked to hangout and chat. From time to time, they invited everyone to drink and have tea together. I was also forced to go there many times."

"But the immortals have their own specialties, everyone is proud and arrogant, and they always speak directly from their hearts. There are not... so many ways."

"And this time?"

Ying suddenly realized: "I see, it's all Wendy's fault!"

"No, that's not what it means."

"You also know Wendy's identity, so I'll just say it straight, Fengshen is naturally free, and his temper is as easy as his flute. Such a god wants to get along with humans easily."

"Oh, since it's not Wendy's problem, who is it? Zhongli, or Tassel's problem?"

"Yeah, it's not about the Emperor and the Immortal." Mandrill hurriedly replied, "The two of them are also like Fengshen. The Emperor has a flat personality and likes to make friends; the same is true for the Immortal, so they can get along with ordinary people. Very harmonious."

"And that's probably something I'll never be able to do."

fluorescent:"."

"You don't need to learn from them, and you can't learn from them, just be yourself."

After hearing Ying's persuasion, Mandrill nodded and said, "Well, it is indeed something you can say."

"It's okay, I know my situation."

"So, when I occasionally think about how I get along with you normally, it always feels...abnormal and novel."

"Anomaly?" Ying wondered, "Is it a good anomaly?"

"Well." Mandrill nodded and said, "Master Hu's invitation is really hard to shirk. When I came to the appointment, I was already mentally prepared." Mandrill continued: "She said [only invites have a fate with elemental forces. Friend], I knew you would be there."

"I just didn't expect the other guests"

"Who would have thought of that?" Ying said, "Not to mention you, I would never have imagined that Zhongli could come as a guest of Xiangshengtang, I can understand, but Liusu was invited by Hutao as a distinguished customer of Xiangshengtang. Dee, I never expected him to come."

"General Heart Ape often says that you should enjoy yourself in time and enjoy surprises. Maybe this is what you mean." Mandrill said, "...But he should be referring to the clothes he designed for the people around him."

"Those clothes are beautifully designed, but they are too inconvenient to wear. Big Brother Fu She never sells his face."

"The emperor has always liked it and has collected a lot. The clothes he is wearing now are also handwritten by General Xin Yuan."

"I've never seen him wear this one during the war. I didn't expect it to be used until later."

"Speaking of which, what was the mask Paimon gave you before?" Ying suddenly thought of something, and asked with some doubts: "I see that you were very happy when you received the mask."

"Well, those three masks are General Hejuan Fa Nan, General Fire Rat Ying Da, General Heart Ape Mi Fu, the three of them were handed over to me by Paimon, and they also briefly informed me of their affairs. "

"I was very happy when I learned that they had recovered, and even the heavy burden in my heart was relieved a lot."

Ying suddenly said: "So that's the case, no wonder you took the initiative to tell us, Happy Sea Lantern Festival."

"I also want to try to accept new things, but..."

"It's okay, just take your time." Ying said in relief, "I said it before, you don't need to learn from them."

Mandrill nodded and said, "Yes."

"Speaking of which, why didn't Fushe come?"

"Brother Fushe is going to the [Outer Sea], and he said he can't stay idle." Mandrill said, "Because Brother Fushe is a figure outside the world line, including the current Ruo Tuo Dragon King." Mandrill He replied: "I was planning to go with her at the beginning, but Brother Fushe refused. He said that Tivat still needs me now."

"[Outer Sea]?"

"Well, [Outer Sea] is a place outside of Tivat Continent. It is said that there are many terrifying things there. Several people from Liyue Seven Stars, including [-]% of Liyue Port's Qianyan Army, have gone to [Outer Sea]. "Drill replied. "I think all of this should be Xianjun's handwriting. Although she didn't say it clearly, no one in Liyue would do it except her."

"And everything about [Outer Sea] is confidential, I hope you will not leak this matter, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."

"Don't worry, I still know these things well." Ying said with a smile.

"Ah."

When the two had just finished speaking, Xiangling came out from Xinyuexuan, and greeted the two: "I found it, so you are here!"

"Well, I didn't bother you, did I?"

Mandrill looked at Xiangling and said calmly, "No. Is there something wrong?"

"I just saw that everyone was full, so Hu Tao asked the clerk to serve refreshments after the meal." Xiangling explained: "You guys haven't returned for a long time, Paimeng is a little anxious, and he can't even eat sweet and salty snacks."

"She can still eat, which means it's not a big problem." Ying replied blankly.

"Actually, I'm also a little worried." Xiangling said with some embarrassment: "Bian Shangxian was a little restless just now, I thought it was because I was not used to the food here, and I wanted to go back to Wangshu Inn to ask Yanxiao to cook."

"No. Make you worry too much."

Ying looked at Mandrill who was about to get out and run away, and hurriedly said, "Drill, don't let the wind and the wheel suddenly clash."

Mandrill: "...how could that be?"

Speaking of this, Mandrill sighed deeply and said helplessly, "In that case, let's go back."

"Ah, please wait a moment." Seeing this, Xiangling hurriedly said, "Actually, I have other things to ask you for."

Speaking of this, Xiangling handed the prepared food box to Mandrill and Ying and said, "Here, these are specially brought for you today!"

"This is almond tofu?" Mandrill took the food box, opened it, and said hesitantly.

"Ok!"

Xiangling nodded and said, "Since the last Chef King Competition, Yan Xiao and I have been good rivals and good friends. Sometimes we would go to Wangshu Inn to discuss cooking with him."

"I heard from him that the distinguished guests on the top of the inn like his almond tofu the most, so I asked him for advice."

"To tell you the truth. Before Hutao asked me this time, she actually approached me quietly, told me which guests to invite, and asked me which dishes I should order."

"So I made a few copies of almond tofu in advance and prepared to bring them to you as a thank you for taking care of me."

"Knowing that it was prepared for you, Guoba ran around enthusiastically and helped a lot!"

Ying smiled and said, "Thank you Xiangling, and the crispy rice."

"Let you bother, in fact, there is no need."

Before Mandrill finished speaking, Ying interrupted, "Ahem."

"...I'll take it. Thank you, and... rice crust."

"You're welcome!" Xiangling responded with a smile: "Oh yes, the texture and taste of my almond tofu may not be the same as Yanxiao's. If you have any suggestions for improvement, please tell me!"

Mandrill nodded and said, "Yes."

"That's it, okay, okay, let's go back quickly, otherwise Paimon will have to wait."

As soon as Ying and Mandrill entered the door, Paimon came up to greet her, and said to Ying angrily, "Ah——you are finally back."

"Didn't you say you'll be back soon, hum!"

"It's pretty fast, it's because your concept of time is wrong."

"You, you bastard, you actually said that about me!" Paimon said angrily, "Hmph, yes, my concept of time is wrong, I stayed here for a quarter of an hour, and several months have passed by your side. "

"Then I will not only let you know what it means to have a wrong concept of time, but also what it means to have a wrong concept of food intake!"

"Your snacks are mine!"

Ying said unhurriedly, "Then your food expenses for next month will be mine."

"You, I decided not to talk to you anymore!" Paimon stomped his feet in the air angrily and said, "Don't talk to me today!"

fluorescent:"."

"Sorry for the long wait." Mandrill said.

"It doesn't matter, the left and right are chatting, nothing serious." Hu Tao said: "You chat outside, we chat inside, isn't it the same."

"Hall master is tolerant, Paimon should learn from it." After hearing Hu Tao's words, Ying said to Paimon who was looking at her angrily with his arms folded.

"Hmph! Forget it, you're busy eating, so ignore you!"

"However, although we are all acquaintances, we still need to do some ritual things for the holiday dinner." Hu Tao suggested.

"Oh? Is it a custom?" Wendy asked pretending to be surprised.

Walnut replied decisively: "No."

Wendy: "."

"However, in order to win the prize, the head of the hall made up one now!" After Hu Tao thought for a while, he suggested: "It's better to pick things up than to pick things up. Let's use this incense burner on the table."

"After burning for so long, the spices inside are almost burned out, so let the most distinguished guests present continue the incense and light the fire for everyone."

"It means endless life, and I wish the new year a prosperous development and a new moon!"

"So that's it, good intentions, indeed Hall Master Hu!" Wendy nodded with a smile and said, "Then speaking of the most distinguished guest here...it must be Keqing Zhongli."

"I'm not very familiar with the rumors of Ke Qing's deeds, but after chatting just now, his knowledge and knowledge have opened the eyes of me, a bard who has seen the world."

"If knowledge is also considered power, Ke Qing can be said to be infinitely powerful."

"As far as the level of speech is concerned, the great poet is indeed higher." Zhong Li said plainly, "I just have a better memory. Such an ordinary ability can be spoken so powerfully. I admire your eloquence."

"Speaking of which, everyone can nominate candidates."

Wendy nodded and said, "Yeah."

"I naturally feel that the hall master should continue the incense." Zhong Li continued.

"Hey, no, you are a subordinate flattering your boss." Hearing this, Hu Tao shook her head and said, "I told you to let the distinguished guests come. How can I be counted as an active person?"

"I think it's better to let Liusu come. As Liusu is the biggest customer of the Hall of Past Life, it is reasonable for the head of the hall to praise her."

tassel:"???"

The plot doesn't seem to be like this, shouldn't you praise Xiangling?What are you doing on me?
"In terms of general rationality, it is indeed so." Zhong Li nodded and said, "The hall master is right. Tassel is indeed a distinguished guest, no matter what kind of meaning it is."

"I agree too." Paimon also echoed.

"You agree." Liusu glanced at Paimeng and said, "No, compared to being honorable, how can our status be compared to the Great Sage Conquering Demons? So I think it's better to be the only immortal mandrill here."

elf:"."

"Hey, yes, we are all ordinary people, so naturally we can't compare with Liyue's noble young immortal." Wendy blinked and said, "Zhongli, what do you think of Tassel's proposal?"

"That's too much to say." Zhong Li smiled and nodded.

elf:"."

If the three of you do this again, believe it or not, I will blow myself up!
