[Genshin Impact] A world where only travelers are alone

This was not the first time Mingxun had seen him wanting everything to be the best.

When Morax was choosing materials for her to make jewelry, he asked for her opinion, but Mingxun, who knew nothing about such things at the time, chose the most conventional one.

She is not a person who pays attention to appearance. When considering things, she subconsciously restrains herself from being arrogant. It can be said that she is quite considerate.

However, Morax seemed very dissatisfied with her kindness, and his expression became visibly worse.

"Is this really all you want?" he asked in a low voice, frowning.

Obviously, it was hard for the demon god who was in a high position to imagine that there would be someone who didn't like luxury. Although the materials selected by Mingxun were also worth a fortune if placed outside, they were still somewhat cheap compared with the other options he gave.

Mingxun was used to reading people's faces. Upon hearing this, he immediately put down this item and took another one that looked more expensive: "What do you think of this, sir?"

Even though she tried her best to pretend that she liked the thing in her hand, Morax could still see that she didn't really care about it, and the expression on her face became increasingly unhappy.

He wondered if what he gave was not good enough, which was why Mingxun didn't feel anything at all.

The final result was that Mingxun, who was leading his men to arrange the follow-up matters of the recent battle, was forcibly dragged by him to take Man Liyue for a walk, just to find better materials to make new jewelry for her.

It was probably from that time that Mingxun realized that her wishes were actually not that important, and what she could really get was only what Morax wanted to give her.

Therefore, when Zhongli turned around and asked her what style of invitation she liked after he finished talking to Xingxi, she replied, "It's enough for the gentleman to decide. His taste is much better than mine. I like everything the gentleman chooses."

She was so sweet that even Xing Xi could not help but sigh: "Mr. Zhongli and his wife have such a good relationship. His wife relies on him so much and trusts him very much."

However, the person being praised did not seem satisfied.

Compared to Morax who showed his joy due to his youth, Zhongli's emotions were more reserved. The smile on his face remained unchanged, but his amber eyes dimmed a little.

"Boss Xingxi, you're too kind." He responded politely, looking at Mingxun steadily.

The latter looked back at him in confusion, as if asking him if he didn't want to continue choosing.

Zhongli walked around behind her and pushed her to the table with various invitations. "It's a pity. This time I want to hear Miss Xun Ming's idea. As long as it is your choice, I am willing to accept it."

Mingxun was stunned by the answer which was completely different from the Morax of the past.

The star had already displayed the more precious jewels that Zhongli requested, and Mingxun glanced at Zhongli subconsciously.

The man's eyes were still focused on her. He didn't seem to care about Xingxi's situation, nor did he care about the embarrassing situation that might arise if she didn't choose those things but randomly picked the cheapest invitation.

Mingxun suddenly felt a little at a loss, having a premonition that things might go beyond his plans.

——She seemed to have never thought about the difference between Zhongli and Morax.

In her eyes, Morax was not only the god she served thousands of years ago, but also the nightmare that accompanied her every day. Under the torture of wear and tear, his image was constantly distorted and deepened, and Zhongli became the object that she subconsciously would not carefully identify.

Mingxun vaguely realized that something was wrong, but before she had time to think about it, Zhongli spoke first: "Miss Xun Ming, don't hesitate. If you don't have anyone you particularly like, just pick someone you like. This is just a preliminary plan. We can work together to improve it and come up with a more suitable invitation later."

Although this wedding still had other purposes, Zhongli never slacked off.

What's more, if his plan goes well, perhaps everything can be resolved without having to wait until the wedding day.

Mingxun's thoughts were interrupted, and she subconsciously did what he said. She picked out a simple and elegant style from the pile of invitations. The red surface with dark patterns was not overly decorated, and only a piece of high-quality amber was inlaid, which looked like someone's eyes. Zhongli smiled, as if he saw something, and asked Xingxi for a jade stone to put on the invitation. The emerald green and orange-yellow intertwined together, becoming the finishing touch of the invitation design.

Moreover, jasper is also the color of Mingxun's eyes.

Xing Xi didn't think much about it, but he could see that Zhongli's action made the already good design of the invitation even more outstanding, and he kept praising his vision.

Zhongli nodded slightly, responded politely, and then turned to talk to Mingxun: "Does Miss Xun Ming like it?"

He really did as he said at the beginning, respecting and accepting all of Mingxun's choices. If she didn't like his changes, she would immediately remove the jade.

Mingxun could naturally see the seriousness in his eyes, and shook her head when she heard it: "No need, sir, your modification is very good, using jade as a foil can better highlight the splendor of the amber."

“Not a foil.” As soon as she finished speaking, Zhongli immediately retorted, “In this invitation, both of them are the protagonists, and they rely on each other and are indispensable.”

He spoke seriously, there seemed to be a hidden meaning in his words, and his eyes were fixed on her.

Mingxun avoided his sight and looked at the only third person present: "Sorry to bother you, Boss Xingxi."

"No trouble, no trouble!" Xing Xi waved his hands and sent the two away.

After the invitations were settled, she should go buy other wedding supplies. But when she was about to walk towards other shops, Zhongli grabbed her backhand and said, "Only the invitations are enough. The other things are already prepared."

Mingxun was a little surprised: "Sir, have you prepared so many things in such a short time?"

"No, these things were prepared long ago, by -" Zhongli paused, "by my old friend."

He seemed to be somewhat nostalgic, but he did not want to say anything in advance in front of her, so he just said: "Miss Xun Ming, why don't you come with me to visit, and visit old friends by the way, and see if those things can still be used after so many years."

The words he chose were strange. After all, their marriage was just decided a few days ago, so how could these things have been kept for so many years?

The confusion on Mingxun's face was obvious, but Zhongli didn't explain much. He just smiled and extended his hand to her, inviting her to join him.

Mingxun had no reason to refuse.

But she didn't expect that the old friend Zhongli was referring to was the one from Jue Yunjian.

Although he seldom went out, Mingxun had specially inquired about it before, so he naturally knew that it was a time of peace and prosperity and that the immortals had given up their power and retired to the mountains. He also knew that Jueyunjian was the residence of Zhenjun Xueyue Zhuyang.

Did Zhongli bring me here because he wanted me to see him?
Mingxun couldn't figure out what he was thinking for a moment. After all, she could tell when they first met that he was seriously playing the role of an ordinary person, Zhongli. Now that he was taking her to see Xueyue Zhuyang, wouldn't he be exposed directly?

She didn't really want to see these guys who could be considered her old friends, and she had no intention of involving them in her plans and the trivial matters between her and Morax.

Along the way, she kept trying to find an excuse to leave, but Zhongli seemed to have a plan in mind and he blocked whatever she said neither softly nor hard.

Mingxun could only secretly be thankful that at least he chose Xueyue Zhuyang. Her friendship with this immortal was not as close as hers with Liuyun Jiefeng. Perhaps after so many years, he had already forgotten her.

With this fluke mentality, her expression calmed down a little.

It was not until Zhongli dragged him into the immortal cave and he saw the not-so-big round table filled with familiar-looking guys that his expression tragically broke.
