However, Shen He could vaguely sense that the "danger" Su Hao mentioned probably didn't refer to his master's failed mechanisms and props.

After confirming the number of people, Su Hao asked Ella and Black Ella to prepare tea and pastries, and invited everyone to sit down for tea and to discuss various matters.

Since it's still early before dinner, we might as well chat for a while.

During the conversation, everyone naturally brought up the Fools from a while back, as well as the attitude of Winter.

The Fatui in Liyue are suffering terribly right now; they can't go anywhere they want.

Right now, the delegations from various countries can move freely, and there is no Qianyan Army watching them wherever they go.

However, the Fools and the Winter Solstice Mission were different; they could only move within a fixed area, and the Northern Bank was completely sealed off.

Although its internal assets, such as Mora, were not confiscated, merchants from all walks of life, seeing the situation at the Northern Bank, immediately used their connections to intervene.

He openly and secretly wanted to sever ties with the Northern Bank, and also planned to withdraw the money he had deposited in the Northern Bank.

The Fatui are currently under immense pressure, as they must both protect the Northern Bank in Liyue and rescue their combat personnel at great cost.

There are even rumors that wealthy people are already on their way to Liyue.

Even the wealthy man's trusted confidants couldn't handle such a major matter; it required the intervention of this foolish executor.

But everyone present knew that even if the rich came, they would be helpless in dealing with this mess and would only be able to give up more benefits.

As they chatted, it became almost evening, and it was time to have dinner.

Others who didn't eat dinner just went about their business.

Su Hao led the group toward the Liuli Pavilion.

Upon arriving at the Liuli Pavilion, the two maids who were in charge of receiving him looked at Su Hao with shining eyes.

Their bodies trembled; they clearly hadn't expected that such a distinguished figure would be visiting the Glazed Pavilion today!

The two maids exchanged a glance. One came to greet Su Hao, while the other hurried inside, clearly intending to report something.

Very quickly, in less than half a minute, a middle-aged man dressed quite elegantly jogged out, his expression showing great excitement and nervousness.

Su Hao maintained a gentle smile and explained that he had been invited by Hall Master Hu.

This middle-aged man of considerable status personally led the way, guiding Su Hao and the others toward the most luxurious private room.

"crunch~"

As the door to the private room opened, three people were already seated inside.

"Oh~" Su Hao looked into the private room and found that it was full of familiar faces.

Xiangling, Chongyun, and Xingqiu, along with Guoba!

Chapter 489 Welcome, Immortal Xiao!

"Ah! Lord Su Hao?!"

A gasp rang out, and Chongyun looked at Su Hao at the doorway in shock, clearly not expecting him to return.

"this?!"

Even the usually composed Xingqiu was visibly shocked upon seeing Su Hao.

In fact, both Chongyun and Xingqiu had met Su Hao, but it was in public, and they were only nodding acquaintances; they had not gotten to know each other well.

Of course, that was what Chongyun and Xingqiu thought. In reality, Su Hao knew very well what kind of relationship the two best buddies had.

So Chongyun and Xingqiu were extremely shocked, never expecting to see Su Hao come over during a private meal.

You have to understand Su Hao's current status in Liyue; he's the acting Geo Archon.

Although it's said to be the acting Geo God, everyone knows in their hearts that unless the [Emperor] is resurrected, the next Geo God will basically be sealed off by Su Hao.

Although Chongyun and Xingqiu have certain status and position in Liyue, the former is from the Exorcist family and the latter is the second young master of the Flying Cloud Merchant Guild.

But compared to Su Hao, these were insignificant, so it's no wonder the two were so shocked.

"Oh~ Su Hao, you're here."

Xiangling was also very surprised. She waved to Su Hao and asked curiously, "Is the important person Hu Tao mentioned you?"

“lu~lu~lu~”

Guoba ran over and smiled at Su Hao, looking extremely happy.

Su Hao continued to suppress the stove demon with one hand, angrily rubbing the pot crust's head.

After rubbing Guoba's head, Su Hao turned his gaze to Chongyun, Xingqiu, and Xiangling, and greeted them, "Hi, long time no see. But I'm not sure if the big shot Hu Tao was talking about is me."

"However, the friends behind me are very famous and important figures."

With that, Su Hao walked into the private room, and the people behind him followed him in.

"Oh?"

Yae no Miko was the first to enter the private room. When she saw that Raiden Shin and Raiden Movie were not inside, a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

"Who are these?!" Xingqiu gasped as he looked at the people who followed into the room.

Because these people are not simple characters.

"What's wrong?" Chongyun looked at Xingqiu with some confusion, not understanding why the other party would show such a shocked expression.

Could those people behind Su Hao be some important figures?

Xiangling also turned her attention to Xingqiu. In fact, she knew everyone here.

After all, everyone here has eaten at Wanmintang, and Xiangling has a very good memory, so she was able to remember everyone.

Xiangling knew them, but she didn't know their background or origins, because she was just a cook and there was no need for her to ask so many questions.

Chongyun was even simpler; he didn't recognize most of the people here because he had been busy slaying demons and monsters all this time.

Um... the "slaying demons and eliminating monsters" here refers to some of the monsters in Liyue.

Xingqiu seemed to know about his two friends' situation, so he looked at the people behind Su Hao and explained, "These people are important figures from Mondstadt, Inazuma, and Sumeru."

Whether it was the ceremony for inviting or sending off the immortals, Xingqiu always sat very close to the delegations from various countries.

This is why Xingqiu was able to recognize the people behind Su Hao at a glance.

"Hello," Abedo greeted first.

"Nice to meet you," Ayaka Kamisato said politely.

Then Yura, Farusan, and Yae no Miko greeted each other, and they got to know each other a little.

Ella and Black Ella were not introduced, since everyone had already met them and a nod was enough to acknowledge each other.

Soon both sides took their seats and began to exchange information, essentially sharing their "intelligence".

"So, Hu Tao also invited Mr. Zhong Li, as well as the Traveler and Paimon?"

Xiangling was quite surprised, clearly not expecting that Hu Tao had invited so many people. She sighed and said, "Ah, why didn't Hu Tao say so earlier? There are so many distinguished guests coming here to eat."

"If I had known earlier, I would have cooked a few dishes at home and brought them in to share with everyone."

At this moment, Xiangling was clearly somewhat helpless. Faced with so many "important people," she still wanted them to taste the latest delicacy she had developed.

But this is Liuli Pavilion, not her family's Wanmin Hall.

Xiangling understands this basic social etiquette. Going to someone's hotel to cook on the spot would be like ruining the event.

Therefore, Xiangling could only talk about walnuts and couldn't do anything else. Now she wanted to go back and cook, but there wasn't enough time.

“Yes, I thought Hu Tao only called a few of us over, although she did call some big shots…” Xing Qiu looked around at the “big shots” and his expression was particularly helpless.

In the eyes of ordinary people, envoys from various countries are considered important figures.

Moreover, the people here are of very high status; even excluding Su Hao, the others are of equally high status.

For example, Yae no Miko of the Narukami Familia, the newly appointed Great Sage of the Order of the Sea, Farusan, and Abedo, the chief alchemist of the Knights of Favonius, are all very famous figures.

To put it simply, take Yae no Miko and Farusan as an example.

The former is the most revered being below Inazuma Ikami.

Farusian is the most noble being in Sumeru after the gods, and her status is comparable to that of the Seven Stars of Liyue.

"…………"

Chongyun didn't dare to utter a sound, because he still seemed somewhat restrained in the face of this scene.

"Normal, normal." Su Hao thought it was perfectly normal, because that's just Hu Tao's personality.

They always get things done so quickly and efficiently that Su Hao thought it would just be their group having dinner tonight.

Unexpectedly, Xingqiu, Chongyun, and Xiangling were also there.

Considering the upcoming team of gods, and the unknown whereabouts of Ying and Paimon, this table is clearly not enough.

We'll probably need to set up two tables soon, but that's okay, since Walnut has booked the entire Liuli Pavilion today.

Let alone two tables, we could easily set up ten!

"By the way, is this the second young master of the Flying Cloud Merchant Guild?"

At this moment, Yae no Miko suddenly spoke up after they sat down and introduced themselves.

Her gaze remained fixed on the other person, and a rather pleased smile even appeared on her lips.

"Yes, I am the second young master of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, but Lord Gong Si can just call me Xingqiu." Xingqiu was outwardly very polite and courteous.

However, he was inwardly apprehensive because he knew that Yae no Kamiko was the editor-in-chief of Yaedo.

Few of Xingqiu's close friends knew that he was writing a novel, so he appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, he was starting to panic.

They were terrified that this member of the Narukami family, the chief priest of Narukami Taisha, and the editor-in-chief of Yaedo would expose their writing experiences.

"Xingqiu?" Yae no Miko looked at the other person with a smile and said, "Then, do you know this person?"

Yae no Miko pointed at Abedo and asked Xingqiu if he knew him.

"Huh?" X2

Abedo and Xingqiu were quite surprised.

The former did not understand why Yae no Miko suddenly mentioned him.
