Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

"Where should we eat? Liuli Pavilion or Xinyue Pavilion? I have connections at both places and can book a private room anytime."

As a lawyer in Liyue Harbor, Yanfei has an extremely powerful network of connections. With just a word from her, other merchants would tremble in fear.

Liuli Pavilion and Xinyue Pavilion are not particularly clean, and a thorough investigation would have a huge impact on their businesses.

Therefore, both owners were quite eager to please Yan Fei. With just a word from her, they would vacate a private room for her to entertain her friends.

“Actually, I think Wanmintang is also a good option,” Ye Lan said with a smile. “Because the person in charge of cooking at Wanmintang today is Xiangling. Although she has some whimsical ideas, the taste is absolutely superb.”

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement; they were all people who had eaten plenty of meat and fish before.

But Xiangling, the cook at Wanmintang, is different; she always manages to concoct some strange and unusual dishes.

It is said that she recently went to Sumeru and collected a large number of mushrooms, which she then used to prepare a mushroom feast for a well-known merchant in Liyue.

That businessman once commented, "The ingredient is clearly mushrooms, but why can it taste like jelly, beef, fish, and tree leaves?"

It's easy to imagine how much Xiangling's cooking skills have improved.

"Yes." Yanfei said helplessly, she was having trouble making a decision after learning that Yura was visiting Liyue.

Naturally, the first thing we wanted to do was prepare the best reception ceremony for her, but Liyue had too many options.

And her uncertainty about what kind of reception Yura preferred caused Yanfei, Liyue's top lawyer, unimaginable distress.

"How about we eat at Su Hao's house?" Hu Tao jumped in at this moment, rolled up her sleeves, and said very seriously, "We can cook for ourselves!"

"Although it's just a treat, we're all old friends, there's no need to be so polite."

Hu Tao spoke with confidence because she was an old friend of both Ke Li and Abeldo, and she knew their temperaments very well.

Instead of going to places like Wanmintang, Liuliting, or Xinyuexuan to eat, why not have everyone cook a dish and sit down to eat together in a happy atmosphere?

Anyway, Su Hao's dining table is big enough. If there are too many people to sit down, we can bring out the dining table from the Rebirth Hall. That should be enough.

"No, that's not proper etiquette."

Ye Lan resolutely refused, because she knew how terrifying Hu Tao was. It was fine for others to cook, but what if she secretly cooked a dish and put it on the table?

Are we going to do what happened last time with Liyue's Bite, and have Paimon, that hothead, eat it, then fall into a coma for a few days before we talk about it?

If Paimon were to "test the poison" again, then there wouldn't be a problem. The Mondstadt delegation, unaware of the decree, ate the dish made by Walnut.

My situation is extremely awkward. I took guests out to dinner, but they were poisoned. Even Ningguang probably couldn't save me.

“Yes, that’s not proper etiquette!” Yan Fei nodded quickly, as she knew a little about Hu Tao’s affairs.

This head of the Rebirth Hall is good in every way, except he likes to turn food into poison.

It's rather strange, but the dishes she makes can even be touched and eaten by ghosts who can't be touched directly.

At first, everyone thought that Master Hu had created some new method to deal with vengeful spirits.

It wasn't until she started promoting this dish to others that, although no one died from it, it still made people look like they had dementia, which was quite frightening.

“That’s true.” Hu Tao didn’t object, because it was indeed against etiquette, but she was just mentioning it casually.

In her opinion, instead of looking for a restaurant, it would be better for everyone to gather together and have a pleasant meal.

"There's still some time before we receive them this afternoon. Do you have any other plans?" Su Hao asked Ye Lan and Yan Fei.

"Hmm...that's a good question, Su Hao." Yan Fei fell silent, seemingly unsure of what to do next.

In fact, Yanfei and Suhao had met several times, since their meeting was inevitable due to Jiuqi Ren.

"How about we go for tea? I know a good place for tea," Ye Lan suggested with a smile, thinking it would be a nice idea.

It's a way to pass the time and enjoy some rare tranquility. She's been incredibly busy lately, if it weren't for the Mondstadt mission.

It seems she won't be able to meet Su Hao and his group until after the invocation ceremony.

"Sure," Su Hao said without refusing, as he was just passing the time with tea.

Su Hao did not refuse, and the others naturally had no objections, because everyone knew that the next focus was on the Mondstadt delegation that was about to arrive in Liyue.

Afterwards, Ye Lan led everyone to a teahouse. The shop owner's eyes lit up when he saw Su Hao.

It wasn't just because Su Hao was of noble status, but also because during the last Immortal Invitation Ceremony, the shopkeeper's daughter benefited from Su Hao's influence and obtained first-hand resources of the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard, successfully earning praise from the Emperor during the ceremony.

The summoning ceremony is about to begin, and all the citizens of Liyue are holding their breath and working hard, hoping to gain the Emperor's approval.

Upon seeing Su Hao arrive, the shop owner was overjoyed and immediately offered to provide free tea.

Su Hao was already used to this, and he outwardly smiled and thanked the shop owner.

But he will still pay the same amount of Mora, for a simple reason: if you gain something for nothing, you'll have to pay it back in the future.

Look at Zhongli, he had countless opportunities to snag a bargain, but he still told the item its original price, bought it, and then sent the bill to the Northern Bank.

And so, everyone leisurely drank tea in the teahouse and began to chat.

Since everyone was an old acquaintance, they chatted about how this year's Liyue Summoning Ceremony was even more lively than the last one.

It's worth noting that last time, no delegations from various countries came to visit Liyue. This time, however, delegations from Mondstadt, Inazuma, Sumeru, and Winter have come to visit Liyue to offer gifts for the Summoning Ceremony.

This shows that this ceremony to invite the immortals is extraordinary.

Ye Lan also smiled, because for her, the praise from others was an affirmation of her work, since she was also the one who was busy with a lot of things, including the ritual of inviting immortals.

Yanfei directly pointed out that the summoning ceremony held by Liyue this time has great value to all countries.

The era of humans and immortals is of great significance. If last year was too sudden and people hadn't even had time to react, then we entered the era of humans and immortals.

This year is the time for everyone to reap the rewards, and all the citizens of Liyue are especially looking forward to this moment.

So no matter how busy or tired they are, everyone will put aside their work and come to witness the Emperor's speech at this year's Invitation to the Immortals ceremony.

For people from other nations, this summoning ceremony was a revolution and an innovation, with Liyue forging a completely new path.

From being protected by the gods to later walking alongside them, this has held immense appeal for all nations.

Even Mondstadt, which is not ruled by any god, would probably be very envious of Liyue right now.

Amidst this conversation, time passed by, and soon it was evening.

As the sun was about to set, Klee, Abedo, and Yura sent a message to Su Hao and his group in the chat group, indicating that they were almost at Liyue Harbor.

Seeing this, Su Hao also stood up, told Ella to hand over the Mora due on the table, and they prepared to leave.

Before long, Su Hao and his group arrived at the entrance to Liyue Harbor, waiting for the Mondstadt delegation to arrive.

The Thousand Rock Army soldiers guarding this place saw Su Hao and his group standing there and quickly came over to inquire about the situation.

Upon learning that they were waiting for the Mondstadt delegation, they immediately ordered people to maintain order and strengthen patrols and security in the vicinity.

Just as the Thousand Rocks Army soldiers began to maintain order and strengthen patrols and vigilance, the Knights of Favonius, led by Commander Jean, appeared before everyone.

"Yura!!!!"

"Klee!!!!"

The former, Yan Fei, waved and shouted, while the latter, Hu Tao, was very excited.

"Hello." Yura smiled and waved in response when she saw Yanfei.

"Oh my, old friends?" Kaeya chuckled as he looked at the two girls calling out from a distance. "I didn't expect Klee to have friends now."

"Ah! Sister Hu Tao!!!"

Klee jumped up and waved at Kurumi, even though she already knew Kurumi was coming through the chat group.

Even though she knew, she was still very, very happy to see Sister Hu Tao come to greet her.

Qin also saw Su Hao, and a look of nostalgia flashed in her eyes. She also waved to Su Hao in greeting.

Soon, the two sides met.

"Long time no see, Yanfei." Yura greeted Yanfei.

"Yes~ It's been a long time~ How have you been in Mondstadt lately?" Yanfei greeted her warmly, then pulled over Hisaki Shinobu and introduced her: "This is my junior sister who studies law with me, Heraki Shinobu."

Hisaki Shinobu blinked at Yura without saying a word, but everything was understood without being spoken.

“Yes, I know her.” Yura nodded with a smile. She had spoken with Shinobu Hisaki when she first came to Mondstadt.

Not to mention now, everyone is a member of the same chat group.

Yura showed no surprise at seeing Yanfei because Hisaki Shinobu had secretly reported the news to her, allowing her to know immediately.

"Oh? You know each other?"

Yan Fei was a little confused; she had never known about this before.

"Senior sister, didn't I go to Mondstadt before?" Hisaki Shinobu explained at this moment, briefly recounting her experience in Mondstadt.

It also highlights that when Yura first appeared, she defeated a group of Hilichurls blocking her way.

Speaking of that time, Yura also showed a nostalgic expression. It was the first time she met Su Hao and Kuki Shinobu.

It's kind of funny, really. Back then, she mistook Su Hao and Jiu Qiren for defenseless commoners.

As it turned out, the two of them were both incredibly skilled fighters, making my actions seem rather comical.

"I see." Yan Fei looked a little envious upon hearing this, even though she wasn't very strong.

Although she was a half-divine beast like Gan Yu, she did not experience the war between demons and gods like Gan Yu. After her birth, Liyue gained peace.

Having lived in peace, she naturally wouldn't learn methods of killing. Instead, she was very interested in the law, which led to her having extraordinary potential, but not strong abilities.

She's fine against ordinary people, but if she faces someone stronger, Yan Fei will have no choice but to beg for mercy.

The three women gathered together to discuss the matter, and the atmosphere was exceptionally enthusiastic.

On the other side, Coral Palace Heart Sea looked at Qin, blinked, and introduced herself: "Hello, I am the current human goddess priestess of Haiqi Island, Coral Palace Heart Sea."

"I've heard about you from Klee and Abedo. You're a qualified captain, and it's an honor to meet you."

Coral Palace Heart Sea already knew about Qin's information, and to be honest, she admired Qin very much.

She manages everything, big or small, and even created a schedule for herself, outlining what tasks to do at what time.

As a former leader of the resistance, Coral Palace Xin Hai knows all too well the painful feeling of taking on everything, big or small.

This is why she immediately contacted Qin, because her intuition told her that she and Qin definitely had similar topics to discuss.

"I know you." The leader of the guild looked at Coral Palace Heartsea and smiled kindly. "I've heard about you in Mondstadt."

"To be honest, I still admire your wisdom and ability to build a resistance army and even defeat the Heavenly Commander under such dangerous circumstances."
