Genshin Impact: Ningguang is still a pitiful little thing, I invested in her.

Fang Xun's words were like a wake-up call.

Everyone looked at each other, speechless.

Modern opera troupes seem to be grasping at straws in their desperation.

Everyone only focused on how well Fang Xun fit the image of the Emperor, but they overlooked the fact that Fang Xun only had a superficial understanding of Liyue Opera.

Fang Xun could indeed step in to save the day.

But if they actually do that, Yunhan Society will be ruining its own reputation.

For a moment, the venue fell silent, and the atmosphere was very oppressive.

The actors sitting in the corner looked worried, occasionally letting out a heavy sigh.

It's too late to rehearse other plays now; there's no other way...

Yun Jin's mother stared blankly at the stage, silently clenching the long spear in her hand.

Everyone has been rehearsing diligently for many days and nights in preparation for tomorrow's performance.

Does all that hard work have to go down the drain?

How am I going to explain this to the audience tomorrow?

Xiao Yunjin pursed her lips and silently took her mother's hand.

She could sense the frustration of her mother and everyone else; she wanted to help but felt powerless to do so.

She wished she could grow up in the blink of an eye, so she could share the burden with her mother and everyone in Yunhan Society.

Yun Jin's father paced back and forth with his head down.

He smoked silently, completely unaware that the ground was littered with cigarette butts.

As the head of the opera troupe, he is undoubtedly under the greatest pressure at this moment.

The entire Yunhan Society depends on him for food and drink, so he has to give everyone an explanation.

If we want tomorrow's performance to proceed as scheduled, we need to find a suitable person to play the Rock Lord, and that person must have some understanding of Liyue theatrical performances; they can't be an amateur...

Yun Jin's father thought and thought, but he still couldn't come up with a solution.

"Is there really anyone in this world who fits the image of the Emperor and also understands Liyue Opera?"

Upon hearing about Yun Jin's father's troubles, Fang Xun said, "Perhaps I can recommend someone for Yunhan Society."

“Zhongli, the guest of the Hall of Rebirth.”

Let the Rock King Emperor play this role, and I'll play myself. Who can find fault with that?

"Zhongli?"

Little Walnut blinked in surprise; she hadn't expected to hear the name Yangshengtang while on a trip.

“Zhongli Keqing is sometimes as rigid as an old-fashioned person, but you have to admit that he does know a lot of professional knowledge.”

Hu Tao approved of Fang Xun's recommendation of Zhong Li as a candidate.

Yun Jin's father nodded thoughtfully: "Mr. Zhongli occasionally comes to Yunhan Society to listen to operas, and I have spoken with him."

"From his conversation, one can sense that Mr. Zhongli is extremely knowledgeable and knows everything."

Mentioning Zhongli, an actor nearby remarked, "When it comes to Liyue drama, Mr. Zhongli knows more than I do."

“There are some things that I only know the facts of, but not the reasons behind, but Mr. Zhongli can explain them very well.”

"Last time I performed, Mr. Zhongli even helped correct a mistake, and I once thought he was a fellow opera performer..."

Amidst the cacophony of voices, hope rekindled in Yun Jin's father's eyes.

Thinking about it carefully, Zhongli also fits the image of the Emperor quite well.

They are polite, mature, and composed, giving others a sense of security as solid as a rock.

Most importantly, Zhongli has an extremely professional understanding of Liyue Opera, which many other performers find inferior.

These two points combined make Zhongli the talent that Yunhan Society urgently needs most right now!

"Alright, alright, if Mr. Zhongli is willing to help, then the performance will definitely be fine."

"If Mr. Zhongli can help, our Yunhan Society's reputation can be saved."

Now that Zhongli has been found as a suitable candidate, everyone can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Xiao Yunjin felt much better and looked up at her mother with a smile.

However, Yun Jin's joy was short-lived. Her father said with worry, "But...the performance is tomorrow, and we don't even know where Mr. Zhongli is."

"If he were in Liyue, there simply wouldn't be enough time,"

"Furthermore, we don't know if Mr. Zhongli would be willing to perform on stage..."

The laughter in the room stopped abruptly as soon as the words were spoken.

The nascent hope has now been ruthlessly extinguished, as if by a bucket of cold water.

"Leave it to me, I'll make sure tomorrow's performance goes ahead as planned."

At this moment, Fang Xun stepped forward and spoke.

Chapter 403 The Emotional Expert Seeks...

"Morax, is this what human life is like? It's completely different from what I imagined..."

“Look at Ruoduo, he’s so bored he’s taking a nap.”

At this moment, the girl rested her chin on her hands, looking sullen.

Her ideal human life: to wander around every day, to be wherever there is excitement, and to encounter new things every day.

But in reality, human life consists of spending every day in teahouses listening to storytelling, or walking birds; the rhythm of life remains unchanged...

She's not the type of person who can stay idle, and I don't know how Morax adapted to it.

Morax, sitting opposite the girl, seemed quite used to her rambling.

If a girl doesn't make a fuss, then that's not her personality.

Morax silently and attentively brewed the tea, then poured a cup for the girl.

She said she could have a cup of tea to soothe her throat if she got tired later.

A young man was fast asleep on the table next to me, as if nothing could wake him.

"In the end, this is how human life is."

Zhongli put down the teapot and began to speak earnestly.

"People live a life of routine, going between two or three points without much excitement or ups and downs, and everyone is seeking a sense of stability."

"I understand the reasoning, but I just'm not used to it."

After a brief silence, Gui finally looked up: "Morax, shall we go to Mondstadt?"

Zhongli put down his teacup and asked in return, "But...didn't we just come back from a trip to Mondstadt?"

Zhong Li clearly remembered that he accompanied Gui Zhong on a trip to Mondstadt and to Inazuma.

This time, Li Yue only had a few days left before Gui Zhong planned to take him on another long trip.

Moreover, the destination was Mondstadt, which I had already visited once.

"It's okay to go again. Just treat it as a return visit, and maybe you'll have a different experience?"

Gui Zhong no longer wanted to spend all her time walking her bird and listening to operas; she wanted to go out and play.

"Besides, tomorrow is the Flower Festival, there will definitely be lots and lots of interesting activities!"

"Oh, right, I heard that the Wind Flower Festival is also a festival that symbolizes love, and couples who participate in the Wind Flower Festival will stay together for a long time."

When the Wind and Flower Festival is mentioned, Gui Zhong's eyes sparkle like a young girl who has just fallen in love.

Zhongli stroked his chin and offered his opinion: "From a general rational perspective, the Wind Flower Festival is a festival to praise the wind god, not a festival to symbolize love."

"Furthermore, there is no basis for the claim that 'participating in the Flower Festival will make a relationship last longer'."

For a moment, Gui fell silent, and the stars in his eyes vanished.

She turned away angrily, deciding to ignore Zhong Li no longer.

Stinky stone, stupid stone.

Are you allergic to romance?

"Return to the end..."

At that moment, Zhongli's voice rang out from the side.

Gui Zhong turned his back to Zhong Li and said angrily, "Morax, I'm angry, and I can't be coaxed. I'll forgive you unless you take me to the Wind Flower Festival."

"What I wanted to say was... the tea has gone cold, let me make you another cup of hot tea."

Gui Zhong thought Zhongli had finally come to his senses.

Unexpectedly, the stone showed no intention of comforting her, and didn't even notice her little mood.

All you ever do is drink tea.

You stinky Morax, you might as well spend your whole life with tea!

Gui Zhong didn't want to see Zhong Li, that idiot, so he got up and left.

This caught Zhongli off guard.

He felt that he hadn't said anything wrong, so why did Gui Zhong leave in anger?

“Zhongli, I admit you have managed Liyue very well,”

"But you still have a long way to go when it comes to understanding girls' feelings."

At this moment, Fang Xun sat down next to Zhong Li.

He and Zhongli were old acquaintances, so he didn't bother to greet them and poured himself a cup of tea.

It was quite an arduous journey to travel from Mondstadt to Liyue overnight. Let's have a cup of tea first before discussing anything else.
