[Wendy: I ​​didn’t expect that guest official Zhongli not only didn’t want to give me a drink, but also pretended not to know me. Sigh]

[Xingqiu: I always feel that with Hu Tao’s personality, she would still say the same thing even if she knew Mr. Zhongli’s identity.]

【Xiangling: Indeed】

Upon hearing this, Wendy began to praise Walnut.

"Oh? Hmm, no wonder."

"Only such a smart and reliable boss can recruit subordinates who look great!"

Walnut chuckled, "Hehe, Wendy is really good at talking!"

Then he stood up and walked over to Zhongli.

"This guest of mine is really amazing. He knows everything from astronomy to geography. He knows everything about the past and present."

Walnut paused and continued.

"Sometimes when I look at the mature way he talks, I even suspect that he is some kind of immortal who is paying a private visit in disguise!"

[Tadalia: You didn't expect it, he is the Rock King himself]

【Ying: Didn’t you also not notice it?】

[Paimon: That’s right]

[Ye Lan: Actually, there are still many doubts. Mr. Zhongli is too perfect as a person.]

【Zhongli: Is that so?】

After listening to Hu Tao's words, Xiao lowered his head.

No longer look at those two gods.

But Walnut walked up to him and asked him.

"Hey Great Sage, you are an immortal, so tell me, is this possible?"

"Uh...I..." Xiao buried his head lower and lower.

"...I'm sorry, I'm only good at subduing demons, I'm not very knowledgeable, I've never heard of it..."

Paimon interrupted without paying attention to the atmosphere.

"But Xiao, I think you are very cultured and know a lot..."

When Yingmei pinched her, she quickly changed her words.

"Xiao, Xiao is a warrior, he rarely goes into the city, it's normal that he doesn't understand these things..."

[Dixia: I can already feel Xiao's pressure. As a warrior, I should just have a good fight. This kind of situation is really...]

[Arakaki Ichito: I get a headache when I see all these twists and turns]

[Funina: This is fine. It's just some etiquette to respect elders.]

[Sino: I want to say something but I can’t. This feeling is really bad]

[Tinari: This situation is different from yours.]

Wendy pretended to be surprised and said that she had heard of Zhongli's name.

"I heard the guests in the tavern talking about a well-mannered young man. He went to the best tavern in Mondstadt but refused to drink and instead ordered a cup of hot tea with a difficult-to-pronounce name."

Zhongli crossed his arms over his chest.

"...Now that you mention it, I remember that Mond seems to have such an artist."

"It is said that he is elegant and easy-going, and his works are lively and vivid. It is not an exaggeration to call him the best bard in Mondstadt."

Wendy smiled and said, "Oh, I feel embarrassed for saying that."

[Ying: Business is mutually flattering, right?]

After that, he exchanged a few lines of poetry with Hu Tao.

The two chatted happily.

However, Xiangling began to doubt her own literary level.

[Chongyun: It shouldn’t be our problem]

[Xingqiu: This is not the first time you have heard the master's poem. It is normal that you do not understand it.]

[Walnut: Hmm?]

As she spoke, Wendy started to complain again.

"Come to think of it, I saw you guys entering Xinyue Pavilion one after another, but no one noticed me standing there."

"Should I say that I hid it too well, or that some people ignored the news?"

After saying that, he looked at Zhongli with resentment.

Zhongli turned his head away from his gaze.

"Hehe... Every time the Lantern Festival comes, Liyue Harbor is bustling with people."

"Everyone is busy admiring the lanterns and strolling around the streets. When the mood strikes, it's inevitable that people will go out on an impromptu trip. No one can predict what others will do."

"The celebration is going smoothly, and the gathering of old and new friends is a beautiful thing worth celebrating."

“It is such a pleasure to be here with you all at the start of the new year.”

"In this situation, please allow me to offer tea instead of wine to everyone."

The picture gives a close-up of Xiao.

He was frightened.

[Aratake Ichito: What happened to Xiao? He looks panicked.]

[Yunjin: It is a Liyue custom that the younger generation usually toasts the older generation]

[Kyuki Shinobu: Boss, can you imagine the general toasting you?]

[Kavi: No wonder the system said this was Xiao’s most difficult episode]

[Ye Lan: This wave of ideological struggle is more difficult than the battle on the rock.]

Xiao looked at Yingmei helplessly.

Wendy continued Zhongli’s words.

"Mr. Zhongli, that's a good point. You've said everything I wanted to say."

"I feel a little embarrassed when I talk about this. I am an uninvited guest who suddenly barged into the party. I hope I didn't cause too much trouble to everyone?"

He stood up and raised a cup of tea as well.

"In Mond, we all drink at times like this."

"But Mr. Zhongli insisted on drinking tea, so I will also offer everyone a cup of tea. Thank you for the hospitality."

First it was Zhongli, then Venti.

Now that Xiao knew the identities of the two, he could no longer hold back.

Ying stood up and said, "Xiao, I've eaten too much. Can you go for a walk with me?"

[Kamisato Ayaka: Travelers are still so considerate]

【Ying: Hehe, that is】

[Kaeya: If she doesn’t speak up, the Demon-Subduing Great Sage will really be unable to hold on.]

Ying left Paimeng and went out with Xiao.

Behind him could be heard the sounds of Zhongli and Wendy teasing each other.

Zhongli: "This new friend seems to know a lot about wine."

Wendy: "No, no, I can only drink for fun, I can't compare to Mr. Zhongli's elegance."

"Fortunately, we're drinking tea this time, otherwise I might not be able to hold my alcohol tolerance and say nonsense when I'm drunk."

"Won't this make Mr. Zhongli, whom I just met not long ago, laugh at me?"

Zhongli: "No, no, you are the guest invited in by Hall Master Hu, how dare I laugh at you?"

Chapter 119: Execution: Xiao Zhong flatters his boss

Ying and Xiao walked to the door of Xinyuexuan.

Xiao spoke first, "Are you okay?"

Yingmei put her hands on her hips and said, "I should be the one asking you this."

"I... can't explain it in words."

Ying asked with concern, "Have you ever seen this scene?"

Ying thought that he needed to help Zhongli and Wendy hide their identities, which put him in a difficult position.

Unexpectedly, this was not the reason.

Xiao looked towards the bustling Liyue Harbor.

“It’s not about the scene.”

"In the past, there were many immortals who liked to get together and chat."

"Everyone was invited to drink and have tea together from time to time, and I was dragged over many times."

"But the immortals have their own strengths, most of them are arrogant, and they always speak directly from their hearts. They don't have... so many tricks."

"And this time..."

[Ying: As expected, I am still bound by the rules of the human world]

【Xiao: Not entirely...】

[Hu Tao: I have already said that everyone should just be happy and don’t worry about it.]

[Kujo Sara: After all, we are in front of our own god, so we must behave properly.]

[Keqing: Not everyone can express their emotions as easily as Master Hu]
