After listening to Hu Tao’s explanation, Paimeng held his head helplessly, “Why is it this kind of statement that sounds reasonable but makes no sense at all…”

Manyo explained in his own way: “Well… when facing a life-and-death duel, some samurai will pay respect to each other before the competition. The two may have something in common.”

Hu Tao appreciated this very much, “This new friend’s understanding ability is amazing.”

“Excuse me.” Wanye suggested: “In my personal opinion, Hall Master Hu might as well add some expectations for the competition or words that can shock the opponent into his slogan.”

Water friends have come up with ideas.

“The second monument is half price!”

“The breasts are so perky!”

“Manye’s emotional intelligence is so high.”

“Hey.” Hu Tao said with a smile: “I have met an expert now! How about we play a game now? It also allows me to find some inspiration to warm up.”

“Well…” Wan Ye hesitated, “Although I want to accompany you, I have never actually fought, and I don’t have my own deck.”

Ying said: “You can use mine in the deck.”

Paimon also advised: “The opportunity is just right! I also want to watch you play cards. At worst, I will give Wanyu a surprise training!”

Now that things have come to this, Wanyo can no longer refuse.

“Everyone is so kind, so I would rather be respectful than obey.”

Afterwards, Paimon briefly introduced the rules for summoning the Seven Saints.

“These are all the rules! I’ve taught you all the little tricks I saw from Ying. Can Wanyu still keep up?”

Manyo nodded and said: “No problem, thank you Teacher Paimon.”

“Old…teacher? Hey…hehe…yeah, he’s not that powerful.”

When he heard the word “teacher”, Paimon was so happy that he didn’t know what to say.

“Tips: Laoba Kaiya, stacked shields and Zhongli, double winds and spoons.”

“The cards I wanted to play accidentally melted…”

“Ye Bao, he really makes me cry to death.”

After Manyo was ready, the battle with Kurumi began.

“Where’s the winning slogan?”

Before starting the game, Hutao asked.

Wanyo nodded, “Slogan… um… okay, I’ve thought about it.”

Paimon was a little surprised, “It’s a shame that he was able to catch it.”

At this time, Hu Tao said solemnly: “Okay! If anyone is invited, please state your name!”

Manyo took a deep breath, and then said seriously: “New friends are made on thin paper, swords are clanging in the distance, and red leaves are as bright as smoke.” Maplehara Manyo, I am asking for your advice.”

“Hmph…” Hutao also took up his pose and said loudly: “‘The weather is nice, the birds are singing, and there are six fire dice in total!’ Hutao, the master of the Rebirth Hall, fight!”

Upon hearing Hutao’s slogan, Paimon and Ying both opened their mouths and looked disappointed.

“Pfft…”

Paimon couldn’t help but laugh.

“Ying’s expression made me laugh to death.”

“One has a bright spring and a white snow, and the other has a white snow in Yangcun.”

“Tao: This time we meet a master.”

Sheniu Hutao was not embarrassed at all and continued: “My turn! ‘Get up’!”

Afterwards, the two had a fierce duel.

It didn’t take long for Manyo to lose the game.

Wan Ye smiled and said: “Hallmaster Hu is indeed the one who made it to the finals.”

Hu Tao smiled and said: “Fortunately, this hall master gave Brother Wanye a chance to summon the king.”

“You don’t act like someone who is playing this game for the first time!”

Man’ye said modestly: “Thanks to Teacher Paimon for teaching me well.”

“Huh? Is it…is it?” Paimon was a little embarrassed by the praise, “Hehehehe…”

Ying smiled on the side and said, “Teacher Paimon is so proud.”

“I was already floating!”

Paimon said with his hands on his hips.

Then, she looked at Manyo again, “Where’s Manyo? Do you like “Summoning of the Seven Saints”?”

“Yes.” Wan Ye nodded, “The card has various skills and the situation changes rapidly. After experiencing it personally, I can understand why it is so popular in Teyvat.”

“It seems there is another poker player in the world.”

At this time, a voice suddenly sounded.

Paimon turned around and spotted Ke Qing’s figure, “Ke Qing! When did you come?”

Keqing explained: “Shortly after the two-bit card game started. Seeing everyone so involved, I didn’t want to interrupt.”

The water friends started to joke.

“You actually have time to read cards instead of working overtime?”

“Master Carver, you are here too!”

“All the cats from Mondstadt/Dao Wife/Liyue Three Kingdoms have appeared.”

At this time, Keqing looked towards Manyo, “Is this Mr. Maplehara Manyo? I have heard of your deeds. It is also an honor for me to meet you today.”

“I don’t dare to take it seriously.” Wanye shook his head, “I have also heard my eldest sister mention Master Yuheng. It should be said that it is an honor for me.”

“Just ask me to be Qing.”

Qing praised: “Mr. Manyo’s card skills are very good. It’s really not easy to have such an understanding of the game for the first time.”

“If I have the chance, I’d also like to compete with you later.”

Paimon said in surprise: “Wow, now we meet our next opponent!”

Keqing smiled and said: “Are you surprised? Nowadays, almost everyone in Yujingtai knows the “Seven Sage Summons”, and they occasionally come to play a game after work.”

“I’m very happy.” Wanyu nodded and said, “However, I can’t always borrow Ying’s deck. The game may have to wait until I get my own “Secret Book Box”.”

“It’s nothing.” Keqing waved her hand, “When you get to the competition venue later, you’ll find a member of the Players Association to buy it for you.”

Keqing smiled and said: “It’s easy, no need to say polite words. Your friend’s friend is the friend of all of us.”

Ying was moved and said: “Thank you, Keqing.”

“Thank you, Taylor.”

“I was really touched when I heard this.”

“The character symbol of Yuhengxing.”

Then, Keqing looked at Hutao again and said, “Hutao, the finals are about to begin. I’m here to inform you.”

“Don’t worry.” Hu Tao said leisurely: “This hall master seems to be counting bricks, and his ears are listening!”

“Preparations are all in place, it can be said that it is inevitable!”

When heading to the competition venue, Keharu also extended an invitation to Yingying and Manyo.

Ying said: “Actually, there is one thing…”

Paimon suddenly remembered that incident and told Keqing about the “Card Phantom Thief”.

“The back of the card? Does it look like a treasure chest?”

Walnut seems to have some clue.

“Yes, yes! That’s the kind!”

Paimon nodded quickly.

Hu Tao recalled: “The word ‘Phantom Thief’ wasn’t written on that man’s face. His temperament… he looked quite like a potential customer.”

“I saw him playing cards with Chongyun this morning, and he said that the loser had to hand over the back of the card. In the end, the man narrowly defeated Chongyun, wiped the sweat from his forehead, took the back of the card and left.”

Hutao’s description amused the water friends.

“Potential customers of the Rebirth Hall, let me ask you if you are afraid.”

“Potential customers, treasure stealing group, Hutao said in the PV.”

“Rainbow! Yay!”
