Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

Xingqiu felt that Yae no Shinji was implying something, that the other party probably knew his identity, so he specifically asked if he looked familiar to him.

So right now, Abedo and Xingqiu looked at each other, and after a moment of recollection, they seemed somewhat at a loss for words.

Because Abedo and Xingqiu had never met before, this was their first time meeting.

Previously, I only knew of the other person's existence through others.

Xingqiu learned about what Abedo had done in the Abyss of Layered Rocks through his connections.

During his time living in Liyue, Abedo also learned just how capable and intelligent the second young master of the Flying Cloud Merchant Guild truly was.

But the two sides have basically no interaction, so why would Yae no Miko say that?

However, both of them are intelligent people, because it was Yae no Kami who said this, and both Xingqiu and Abedo have a [hidden profession].

"Could it be?!" Xingqiu looked at Abedo in shock.

"No way?" Abedo felt a headache coming on when he saw Xingqiu's shocked look.

Damn it, he's become a laughing stock!

"What's wrong? You guys seem to be talking in such a secretive way?" Yura looked at the scene in front of her with some confusion.

She was a little confused by how these people were speaking so cryptically.

“Hmm…” Su Hao seemed to have thought of something, and he looked at Xing Qiu and Abedo and said, “The two of them are old acquaintances.”

"Although neither of them is aware of it themselves, the Divine Child has strange channels that allow him to know about their relationship."

Upon hearing Su Hao's words, Xiangling and Chongyun looked at Xingqiu and Abedo in surprise. Were these two old acquaintances?!

How could they, as best friends, have no idea?!

"Pen pal! Pen pal!!!" Xingqiu didn't want his novel-writing secret to be exposed, so he quickly looked at Abedo and said, "Right? Teacher Abedo?"

Xingqiu frantically gave Abedo meaningful glances, indicating that they should deal with this first.

“Uh…” Abedo nodded helplessly.

"Pen pals? That's really interesting." Farusan looked at Xingqiu and Abedo with a somewhat subtle expression.

These two are both teenagers, right? How did they become pen pals?

And one is from Mondstadt and the other is from Liyue, but the one who reveals this relationship is Inatsume?

Moreover, judging from Xingqiu and Abedo's expressions, the two seem to have a deeper relationship.

Farusan felt that sometimes being too "smart" wasn't a good thing, and the current situation was truly terrifying to think about.

"Isn't this normal?" Yura thought it was perfectly normal, since Ningguang and Qin were pen pals.

Ningguang and Qin are usually very busy, so they can only communicate through letters.

Although they rarely met formally, their relationship gradually improved.

"Isn't it strange that they don't know each other?" Ayaka Kamisato said somewhat subtly.

Abedo and Xingqiu remained silent. Although Abedo wanted to explain, Xingqiu's expression clearly indicated that he had no intention of doing so.

"Oh my gosh~" Yae no Miko seemed particularly happy.

"crunch~"

Just then, the door was pushed open again, and Ying and Paimon walked in.

Wow! How did you get here so fast!

As soon as Paimon entered, she saw the people sitting down. She was clearly startled, then exclaimed in shock, "Chongyun?! Xingqiu?! Xiangling! You're here too!"

"Why didn't Hu Tao say a word to us?"

Clearly, Paimon was also surprised by the arrival of Chongyun, Xingqiu, and Xiangling.

The arrival of Su Hao and his group was not surprising, as Su Hao had already mentioned it before they split up.

He would gather everyone together and ask if they were coming over for a meal. If they were, he would bring his own people over.

"Long time no see, traveler, Paimon."

Chongyun was the first to greet them, clearly relieved, because he was already familiar with the Traveler and Paimon, unlike the other people he had never met before.

"Didn't Hu Tao mention our existence?" Xing Qiu asked with a helpless expression after hearing Paimon's words. "She told us a few days ago that she would come to Liuli Pavilion for dinner."

"Although I knew she would invite her friends over for dinner, I didn't expect her to not mention us at all."

Xiangling chuckled, because Hu Tao was just that kind of impulsive person, and she was used to it.

However, in Xiangling's opinion, Hu Tao probably didn't intentionally forget the three of them, but rather felt that since they were all "acquaintances," there was no need to introduce them too much.

Yes, in Xiangling's eyes, everyone was an old acquaintance of Wanmintang.

However, for Chongyun and Xingqiu, the arrival of Su Hao and his group was quite oppressive.

Of course, in Walnut's imagination, the Traveler and Paimon should be the first to arrive, and with their introductions, the scene shouldn't be too awkward.

"Sorry, something came up on the way and I was delayed."

Ying sensed the rather awkward atmosphere and acknowledged that she was late.

She should have been the first to arrive, but due to some miscellaneous matters, she was delayed on the way.

But you can't blame her, because the treasure chests in the wild are just too tempting!

"Sit down, sit down," Su Hao said, gesturing for Ying and Paimon to take their seats.

With the arrival of Ying and Paimon, the atmosphere on the scene improved significantly. Besides being an emergency food source, Paimon was also indispensable for enlivening the atmosphere.

As the two sides exchanged words, time ticked by.

Soon, the door opened again, but at this moment, Guoba seemed to sense something and ran straight towards the door.

"lu~lu~lu~lu!!!!"

"Oh my gosh~ Guoba, why are you so enthusiastic!"

Hu Tao walked in, looked at Guoba by the door, patted his head, and then greeted everyone, "Yo! Everyone's here~"

"But let's talk about other things later~ I have a very important guest today!"

Xingqiu, who was about to say something, couldn't help but turn his gaze to Su Hao after hearing Hu Tao say those words.

Not only Xingqiu, but Xiangling and Chongyun also set their sights on Su Hao.

What? Isn't Su Hao a distinguished guest?

"Oh my, we know Su Hao so well. You can always find him."

Noticing the gazes of the crowd, Hu Tao quickly explained, "However, the person we're talking about today is truly a legendary figure who is rarely seen."

"Great Sage Who Subdues Demons! Guardian Yaksha! Immortal Xiao!!!! Everyone, please welcome him!!"

With that, Hu Tao entered the private room, and Xiao followed her in with a calm expression.

Although he appeared calm, Su Hao, Ella, Black Ella, Yae no Miko, Abedo, and the others could clearly see it.

Xiao's expression revealed a hint of embarrassment, as if he wasn't very good at handling this situation.

Chapter 490 Everyone! Let's raise a glass to Su Hao!

Xiao was somewhat embarrassed at this moment, but he maintained a calm expression, giving people the feeling that the immortals of Liyue were sacred and inviolable.

He walked in slowly, looked at the group of people, and nodded slightly.

Xiao knew most of them because he had fought against Oser and Baqiu.

The group fought side by side in the Jade Pavilion, with Yae no Miko and Abedo making significant contributions by supplying energy to the specially made Returning Machine.

Not only Yae no Kamiko and Abedo, but also everyone else present, except for Chongyun, Xingqiu, and Xiangling.

Everyone had fought side by side in the Jade Pavilion, and Xiao still held good feelings towards his comrades-in-arms.

As for why I agreed to Hu Tao's suggestion to come over for dinner, it's because...

Xiao already knew that the Emperor was a guest of the Hall of Rebirth, and that Hall Master Hu was the Emperor's "superior" in the mortal realm, if possible.

Xiao naturally wouldn't object to Walnut's invitation.

Moreover... since the other party came all the way to Wangshu Inn to invite him, he was bound to come.

It's definitely not because Hu Tao said that the Emperor was among the people she invited to dinner!

"It's actually the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons!?"

Upon seeing Xiao's arrival, Chongyun exclaimed, "Anyone from Liyue would feel a sense of awe towards the immortals."

As a member of a family of exorcists, Chongyun held other immortals in high esteem and reverence, but he held the Great Sage of Demon Subduing before him in even greater esteem and reverence.

There was no other reason than that Chongyun, who grew up in a family of exorcists, was very clear about the achievements of the Great Sage Who Subdued Demons.

The elders in the family also deeply respect the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons. It is because of his existence that Liyue can enjoy peace and tranquility, and evil spirits dare not show their faces.

If any evil spirits appear, the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons will surely go and deal with them.

Therefore, Chongyun was extremely excited when he saw Xiao's arrival, and almost jumped up.

Xingqiu and Xiangling were also very surprised. In fact, Liyue's descriptions of other immortals and their existence are quite detailed.

However, records about the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons are extremely scarce. Basically, most people in Liyue only know that the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons exists.

However, the specifics of what he did, and even the rumors and records about him, are not as widely circulated as those of immortals such as Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun, Xiaoyue Zhuyang Zhenjun, and Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun.

If it weren't for the last time when the celestial ceremony was held, the Great Sage Who Subdued Demons would have appeared with other immortals and the Emperor.

Most people in Liyue have almost forgotten about this immortal.

It was precisely because of this that Xingqiu, Xiangling, and even Su Hao and his group finally understood after Xiao appeared.

Why did Hu Tao say she was going to invite a very important person? In terms of status and position, Xiao was indeed an unimaginably important person.

Furthermore, he is very difficult to invite, extremely difficult to invite. He is basically either busy exterminating demons or dealing with the effects of the remnants of demon gods.

Simply put, Xiao is either busy or on his way to be busy; it's harder for ordinary people to see him than to climb to heaven.

Even if they were lucky enough to see him, everyone knew Xiao's personality. Xiao always treated ordinary people with indifference and calmness. The evil aura and karmic obstacles he had accumulated over the years were enough to make ordinary people fearful and dare not get close to him.

Even according to earlier rumors, he would rescue the person and then leave without saying a word, displaying an extreme level of aloofness.
