"You probably already have a rough idea of ​​my origins."

"That's right, I'm not from this world, but from outside of it."

Upon receiving confirmation, Zhongli felt relieved and expressed her gratitude.

"Thank you for your answer. I will do my best to assist you with the food competition you are about to hold, if needed."

Now that he knows how powerful the other party is, this is all he can do.

Besides, the other party also said that they have no ill intentions towards the world.

Since there is no malicious intent, don't offend or provoke the other party. Instead, try to go along with them and keep them calm.

This is the best way to protect the world.

Su Ming was naturally unaware of the other party's thoughts. He only felt that the other party had vision and wisdom, and said with a smile, "I do need your help."

"Your Excellency, please speak."

Su Ming explained his plan:

"To make this culinary competition even more grand, I would like to invite deities from various countries to co-host it. With your help, I believe it will go much more smoothly."

"Invite deities from various countries?"

Zhong Li's first reaction was that it would be very difficult, but when he thought of Su Ming's terrifying strength, he stopped doubting it. "With your abilities, you can indeed invite them."

Su Ming took a sip of tea and said:

"That's certainly possible, but before I extend the invitation, could I ask you for a favor?"

Zhongli poured tea for Su Ming and himself, saying:

"Please tell me, and I will do my best to help within my capabilities."

Su Ming said, "Holding this competition requires a lot of pre-competition preparation, such as setting up the venue, assembling the event staff, and publicity, etc."

"These tasks may need to be done by people from Liyue."

"Therefore, I would like to ask you to do these things."

This gave Zhongli another headache.

He actually faked his death during the ritual to summon immortals.

They have made up their minds to remain hidden and no longer easily concern themselves with worldly affairs.

"300" is now widely believed to be dead, except for a few high-ranking members of the Celestials who guessed that he was still alive.

If it were to suddenly reappear in the world now.

All the previous designs were in vain.

The key issue is that it's a bit difficult to explain the Summoning Ceremony to the people of Liyue.

After some deliberation, I finally compromised:

"Alright, I'll take care of this."

Regardless of the circumstances, his goal was to please Su Ming.

He knows clearly what is a small matter and what is a big matter.

My own affairs are not worth mentioning here.

Su Ming smiled and said, "Thank you very much."

"Besides, I won't let you help me for nothing."

"After the competition, I will take some people who have made contributions out of this world as a reward. If you are willing, I can take you with me."

He actually felt a little guilty about eating for free.

Those who help you will be rewarded.

"Bring it out of this world? Is that really feasible?" Zhongli felt that it was a bit unrealistic, or rather, that it would be very difficult.

He believed Su Ming was an outsider.

But outsiders may not necessarily be able to lead people out of the outside world.

After all, it must not be easy for outsiders to come into this world.

Otherwise, why would so many years have passed?

No more than ten people have come into this world.

This proves that getting here won't be easy.

Otherwise, there would definitely be many outsiders invading.

Su Ming took another sip of tea, and only after setting down the teacup did he say:

"Why not? These are all minor issues for me."

Seeing how relaxed and composed the other person was.

Zhongli had no choice but to believe it and thanked him:

"Okay, thank you in advance."

"This reward is indeed very good."

Exploring the unknown is a genetic program inherent in everyone.

Especially for old monsters like Zhongli, it will appear even more intense.

In his eyes, the world now is like a prison.

He had long wanted to explore the outside world.

"In that case, it's settled then."

Suddenly remembering something, Su Ming said:

"Also, if possible, could you also help invite the gods from other countries? That would save me a lot of time."

Su Ming knew that this guy had connections with gods from other countries.

Even if not.

Based solely on his prestige, many gods would give him some face.

Perhaps things will go more smoothly for them than for me.

Zhongli did not refuse, and stroked his chin calmly, saying:

"I'll choose one that's more difficult for you to invite."

"As for the gods who are difficult to deal with, in my opinion, only the Ice Goddess is the one. That woman's thoughts are rather unconventional and unique."

“If you were to invite her, it might cause a lot of trouble, but I have some acquaintance with her and know her personality. If I were to invite her, it should be much easier.”

"But... maybe we need something that moves her, that might make things easier."

Su Ming also thought of this and said, "The reward I can offer is the one I just promised you. As for anything else, it's hard to say."

"That's enough. I believe even she couldn't resist such a reward!" Zhong Li said. In fact, he wanted Su Ming to offer this reward.

The Ice God is someone who is determined to overthrow the one on Sky Island.

However, we currently lack the power to overturn this situation.

But if only we could leave this world.

Perhaps then there will be an opportunity to gain even greater power to overthrow it.

Zhongli knew this, which is why she was so confident.

"Okay, then it's settled."

Su Ming didn't give the other party too many tasks:

"You just need to focus on preparing for the event and inviting the Ice God."

"Leave the rest of the gods to me."

"Hmm." Zhongli nodded slightly.

“In that case, we can take action now…” Su Ming finished the rest of his tea and stood up. “You should also have a communication stone similar to the one Li Shui gave me, right? If so, give me some so we can contact each other later.”

“Of course there is.” Zhongli stretched out his palm, and as his immortal power flowed, a jade stone appeared within it. He explained, “This jade stone, too, can be infused with power to contact me at any time.”

Su Ming grabbed it and put it away without any hesitation.

Suddenly remembering something, a mischievous smile crept across his lips as he asked, "By the way, I might need Mora when I go to other countries, but I don't have any on me. Could you give me some?"

He wanted to see if this guy was really as in the original story, unable to gather even one Mora from the four gods.

Zhongli fell silent.

Su Ming continued to tease:

"What, you don't have any either?"

"Uh..." Zhong Li shook his head slightly, somewhat embarrassed.

Su Ming didn't continue joking. He put his hands behind his head and turned around. "Never mind if you don't have any. I'm leaving."

"But remember to bring some next time... otherwise the tea cost will have to be recorded in the bill."

Zhongli fell into endless silence.

He's met his match.

In the past, he always put the accounts on other people's tabs, but now some guy is putting all the accounts on his tab. What kind of situation is this?

The problem is, I don't have any money myself.

Zhong Li shook his head helplessly and also got up and left the private room.

As soon as he left the private room, the innkeeper greeted him with a smile:

"Mr. Zhongli, have you finished your drink?"

Zhongli nodded slightly. "1.9 Yes, I'm leaving now. Please put the tea payment on the account of the Rebirth Hall."

"Alright!" the shopkeeper hurriedly replied. "Take care, and come again next time."

Zhongli didn't linger and went to take care of what he needed to do.

……

After leaving the teahouse, Su Ming returned to Wanmintang.

Upon seeing him return, Hu Tao and the others immediately surrounded him.

"Su Ming, where did you go just now?"

"Shen He said you went to see some kind of deity?"

Hu Tao was the first to ask a question, and everyone else was bursting with curiosity.

Su Ming didn't hide anything, "Yes, I'm going to see the god of Liyue, the Rock King."

"Emperor Yan Wang?!" The group stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.

"You really saw the Rock King Emperor?!"

Hu Tao said, her bright eyes filled with excitement, but then she suddenly thought of something: "But wasn't he killed during the Immortal Invocation Ceremony? How could he...?"

Su Ming thought for a moment and said, "Assassination? How could a god be so easily assassinated?"

"He actually designed that way to test Li Yue."

"We wanted to see if Liyue would be able to withstand disasters without him."

There's nothing to hide anymore.

Anyway, Zhongli, the sixth brother, will need to step in to support them eventually, so they'll be exposed sooner or later.
