"This..." Seeing Su Hao's attitude, D'Artagnan felt somewhat helpless. He suddenly realized that his actions the day before yesterday had been too profit-driven.
The day before yesterday, he only pursued Su Hao's information about why Thor frequently left Inazuma.
He only provided information about the doctor and the scattered soldiers from Inazuma's side; he wouldn't say anything else.
The result of pursuing interests now is that D'Artagnan doesn't know what Su Hao wants, making it extremely difficult to get information from him about what happened in Liyue Harbor last night.
'Next time, let's be more sincere and less about self-interest,' D'Artagnan thought to himself.
He was a martial artist by nature and not good at those roundabout ways. His initial good attitude towards Su Hao was to build a good relationship first and then gain more benefits.
It turned out that no matter how well they cultivated the relationship, they couldn't get Mr. Zhongli to voluntarily spit out anything, just like they had.
D'Artagnan's attitude toward Su Hao changed slightly, and it was these changes that led to the current awkward situation.
"Actually, I just wanted to ask a question."
D'Artaglia thought so, but outwardly he brazenly smiled and said, "Last night, an unfamiliar demonic aura erupted in Liyue Harbor. Do you have any clues?"
Demon God, that's no simple word.
Even ordinary people on the continent of Teyvat know something about the war between the demons and gods thousands of years ago.
As the executor of the Fatui, even though he held the lowest position, Tartaglia was undoubtedly a strongman.
He also felt the surge of power that Gui Zhong had unleashed last night.
Unfortunately, there were too many immortals at the time, making it nearly impossible for D'Artagnan to sneak over.
After all, the Liyue Immortals aren't particularly friendly to the Winter Ambassadors.
Thinking of this, D'Artagnan couldn't help but curse, "Doctor, slice me up!"
That damned guy, so arrogant and conceited! Not only did he betray D'Artagnan, but he also betrayed the Fools' soldiers, and even betrayed himself!
If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be in such a passive position in Liyue.
"No." Su Hao shook his head decisively, indicating that he did not know.
Seeing his reaction, D'Artagnan knew that the other party definitely knew something, but just wasn't telling him.
"Sigh." D'Artagnan could only sigh. There was nothing he could do. If being gentle didn't work, he couldn't very well resort to force, could he?
Moreover, with such a formidable lineup, if things come to a head, they seem to be in no way afraid of us.
"If you have any favors to ask of me, you can come to the Northern Bank to find me anytime."
Seeing Su Hao's attitude, Dadalia didn't intend to say anything more, only hoping that the other party would ask him for a favor.
However, the other party is going back to Inazuma, which means that I will have to investigate the mysterious demonic power that appeared in Liyue Harbor by myself.
Thinking about this gave D'Artagnan a headache, and her resentment towards the Doctor grew even stronger.
Why is it that the other party isn't coming? Liyue is peaceful and nothing seems to be happening.
As a result, when the other party came, I was extremely busy, mostly dealing with messes, and made no progress in seizing the Heart of God.
D'Artagnan left, and he left very quickly, without lingering as before.
After he left, a strange light flashed in Su Hao's eyes. Had the demonic power released by Gui Zhong after his resurrection attracted the attention of the Fools?
This is not surprising, because the Fools always want to get involved in everything.
It is perfectly normal for them to overstep their authority and investigate the mysterious demonic powers within Liyue.
However, even with a large-scale investigation, D'Artagnan would not obtain any information.
Because the matter of resurrection is known only to the people in the chat group and the immortals.
The Seven Stars of Liyue can sense the power of the Demon Gods, but this is not something that ordinary people can touch.
At this stage, the Liyue Seven Stars can't even deal with the remnants of a demon god, let alone investigate unfamiliar demon god powers.
Furthermore, the Seven Stars of Liyue have complete trust in the Emperor. As long as the Emperor is there, no matter what kind of demon god he is, he will not pose a threat to Liyue.
"He overreached."
Shen He watched Dadalia's departing figure and said in a very indifferent tone.
"That's how the Fools are." Hisaki Shinobu was used to it; it was the Fools she had seen when she was in Inazuma.
They have even colluded with the Tianling Envoy and the Kanding Envoy, interfering in the internal affairs of other countries, which is a major taboo no matter where it is placed.
As a result, from Inazuma to Liyue and then to Mondstadt, Kuki Shinobu discovered that the Fatui were interfering in the internal affairs of other countries with utter impunity.
"It's alright." Yae no Miko said with a smile, "If he extends his claws where he shouldn't, then someone from Liyue will naturally come to deal with him."
"After all, this isn't Inazuma."
At this point, Yae no Miko's expression stiffened slightly, and then she sighed.
The gap between Liyue and Inazuma is simply too great. Even she, the High Priestess who controls most of Inazuma's power, can clearly feel the difference between the two divine realms.
In Liyue, the Fatui dared not act recklessly, but in Inazuma, they did.
This clearly demonstrates the Fatui's fear of Liyue and their contempt for Inazuma.
The atmosphere became somewhat awkward, and no one wanted to say anything.
"Crench."
Just then, the door to the Rebirth Hall next door opened, and Hu Tao peeked out. Seeing the strange atmosphere around Su Hao and his group, she chuckled and asked, "What happened?"
"There's something off about the atmosphere around you guys. How about I tell you a few jokes?"
Seeing that Hu Tao had come out, Su Hao explained helplessly, "No need, it's just that Lord Gong Si was talking badly about others, and then, in the process, he stabbed himself in the back."
"...?" Yae no Miko looked at Su Hao with a somewhat subtle gaze. Although what you said is not wrong, why does it feel like something is not quite right?
"Hmm?" Hu Tao tilted her head, looking at Yae no Miko with a somewhat subtle expression. Then she didn't press for details about what had made Inazuma's second-in-command break down.
As the head of the Hall of Rebirth, Hu Tao understood some social etiquette and knew very well what to say and what not to say.
"What does this smell like?"
Ella's delicate nose twitched slightly, as if she had smelled something, and her expression was somewhat strange.
"It smells quite nice, but something feels a bit strange." As a chef, Shinobu Hisaki also smelled something. Her delicate nose twitched slightly, and then her gaze fell on Kurumi.
"……………………"X*
For a moment, everyone seemed to fall silent. What had Hu Tao cooked so early in the morning?
"Oops~"
Facing the gazes of the crowd, Hu Tao revealed an innocent smile. She maintained her hunched posture and said, "Didn't I hear from the guest elder yesterday that you were leaving today?"
"Since you're leaving Liyue and returning to Inazuma, I guess I won't see you for a while."
"So, to clear up any misunderstandings you may have about me, I've decided to serve up my specialty dishes."
As she said this, Hu Tao walked out of the Hall of Rebirth, carrying a plate of food in her hands.
The dish is beautifully presented, and the round-headed ghosts huddled together look somewhat comical and cute, making one want to take a bite.
The smell that Ella and Hisa Shinobu just caught came from this dish.
"…………"
Shen He silently took a step back, a hint of wariness flashing in her eyes, because in her eyes, a pale white, soul-like object seemed to emerge from the dish, as if it were protesting the injustice of fate.
However, despite his caution, Shen He was still very curious about how Hu Tao had made this dish and what it tasted like.
It wasn't just Shin-haku who thought this way; even Hisaki Shinobu, Ella, and Yae no Miko thought the same.
Because this dish looks really good, and although the taste is a bit strange, it's still acceptable.
"This is my specialty," Hu Tao said earnestly, holding up the dish. "Its name is—The Misty March."
Yes, this is Walnut's signature dish. She's the only one in all of Liyue who can make it. Even Xiangling couldn't make it!
Su Hao silently took a few steps back, his eyes filled with resistance.
In his previous life, he used walnuts as a fire source and naturally used them to create many special dishes, the main effects and descriptions of which are very clear.
This thing looks exquisite, but if you succumb to curiosity and eat "one" of the ghosts, you might regret it for a long time.
After all, the plate contains something of an extremely high level, something that bombards the taste buds to the point of complete numbness, making it impossible to discern what the ingredients are.
"correct."
At this moment, Hu Tao seemed to have thought of something and looked at Su Hao, asking, "Where is our guest elder? I also want him to taste this dish."
"Wait a moment," Su Hao said, then opened the chat group.
[Su Hao: "@Zhong Li, are you there?"]
Zhongli: "What is it?"
[Su Hao: "Master Hu made you a dish called 'The Misty March'."]
Zhong Li: "……………………It's good to be alive."
[Yae no Miko: "Is it really that terrifying?"]
Shen He: "It smells good."
[Ella: "It does smell nice, but there's something strange about it; I can sense a slight sense of unease."]
[Gui Zhong: "A sense of crisis???"]
[The Great Compassion Tree King: "Is that a dish?"]
Wendy: "So bad and so terrible, how could Mr. Zhongli give such a review?"
[Raiden Shin: "Divine Child, why don't you try some?"]
[Ke Qing: "Wait?! It was Hu Tangzhu who made the meal?! Isn't she the one who specializes in making dishes for the deceased?"]
[Abedo: “Cooking for the afterlife???”]
Klee: "What's that? Klee doesn't quite understand."
[Zhongli: "To put it simply, it's food for the dead, or food for those who are about to pass away."]
[Yae no Miko: "Never mind, I'll go try a bite first. This stuff smells pretty good!"]
[Yae no Miko: "I am the Yae no Miko, possessing both wisdom and beauty~ Nothing can surpass me!"]
