Seeker of Teyvat

Unfortunately, the reality is always not what people want.

As the two of them got closer and closer to Wanmin Hall, the old father looked at the two people with increasingly unkind eyes. Ahem, he looked at Wang Daoyi with even more unkind eyes.

Who is Wang Daoyi? Even if his old father's eyes are about to pop out, Wang Daoyi still holds Xiang Ling and won't let go.

"Uncle Mao, I brought Xiangling back!"

Wang Daoyi shamelessly raised the hand he was holding with Xiangling and signaled to Master Mao.

The old father's blood pressure soared and he said nothing with a dark face.

In front of her dearest old father, Xiangling still couldn't resist being shy, so she let go of Wang Daoyi's hand and hugged Master Mao's arm.

"Dad, Dad, I'm back and I brought you a lot of gifts!"

The daughter's recognition of the situation stabilized the old father's blood pressure. Although his face was still dark, he at least gave Wang Dao a nod: "Thank you for your hard work, come in!"

After getting permission, Wang Daoyi didn't feel like he was being shown off at all, and honestly moved boxes of gifts bought by Xiangling into Wanmin Hall.

In addition to the gifts purchased by Xiangling, there are also special cellar wines from Chenxi Winery, which are also placed in Wanmin Hall.

Anyway, we have got her daughter, no matter who she is, she is a family.

As for Master Mao's dark face, Wang Daoyi doesn't care at all. You took away his little cotton-padded jacket. Isn't it normal for someone to have a dark face?

When Wang Dao moved everything into Wanmin Hall, Master Mao's face looked much better.

It's not that he hates Wang Daoyi, he's just an old father who has a natural resistance to the pig that takes away his cabbage.

Putting aside this feeling of resistance, he was quite satisfied with Wang Daoyi.

He is the same age as Xiangling. He bought a family business in Liyue Port at a young age. He also likes cooking. This boy also likes to read. He is also good-looking and can be said to be the best choice for a son-in-law.

However, the old father couldn't calm down when he thought that his daughter was only sixteen years old.

"Daoyi, you and Xiangling are still young!"

The old father pondered for a long time before saying a word.

"Master Mao, we know the pros and cons, and we have just started dating!"

Although Xiang Ling is already pretty and charming, Wang Daoyi has no more ideas. After all, the other party is only sixteen years old, and he is only sixteen years old.

"As long as you know, I don't object to you making friends, but you are still too young and have a long time, so you understand!"

The old father considered the words carefully. He said it was too harsh for fear that Xiangling would be sad, but it was too soft for fear that Wang Dao wouldn't understand it.

Wang Daoyi understood. Although he was a sixteen-year-old boy in this life, he also experienced the crisis of puppy love in school in his previous life.

He completely understood his old father's mood.

"Uncle, Xiangling and I are as young as each other. We have the same hobbies and understand each other's personalities. We will grow up together slowly. Please rest assured!"

Wang Daoyi didn't say much, nor did he show off his strengths.

For the old father, as long as he expresses that he and his daughter have the same hobbies, have a common language, and get along well with each other, and then express that they will not go further in a short period of time, it will be fine.

Sure enough, Master Mao's face looks much better. As long as the pig doesn't eat the cabbage now, it's still acceptable.

Showing a seemingly friendly smile, Master Mao invited Wang Daoyi to stay for dinner.

"That's good, that's good, Dao Yi, you just came back, uncle is here to take care of you. Let's have dinner at home tonight. You can have a few drinks with me!"

Chapter 52 Family Dinner

Faced with the future father-in-law's invitation to drink, Wang Daoyi did not dare to refuse and had no choice but to agree.

"Okay uncle, let me send my luggage back first and then come back for dinner!"

Wang Daoyi pointed to the pile of books and luggage on the carriage outside the door and said that he had to go back and put his things away, otherwise he would get drunk and it would be difficult.

Master Mao looked at the carriage at the door, nodded, and agreed to Wang Daoyi's application.

Leaving Wanmin Hall and taking the carriage with him, Wang Daoyi returned to his home, the Pier Teahouse.

The waiter Sisi is still at work and is receiving a group of dock workers. Each of the workers is holding a tea jar.

"Boss, you're back!"

Sisi saw Wang Daoyi and said hello with a smile.

Although she came to the tea room to better wait for her brother Tide, she gradually fell in love with this kind of work of dealing with workers. From the conversations with dock workers, she learned a lot of stories about ships and sailors, well, She takes the place of her Tidal brother.

"I'm back. How's the business? It's not bad. I brought you a gift!"

Wang Daoyi replied casually, then unloaded the luggage and books from the carriage and put them into the tea room.

He did bring gifts to Sisi, not just Sisi, he brought gifts to everyone he knew.

Including Sisi, Xingqiu, Chongyun, Hutao, Zhongli, and some of the ceremonial officers of the Rebirth Hall.

He even brought Tian Tiezui a copy of Mondstadt's Anthology of Bards. He and Zhong Li often went to listen to Tian Tiezui's books before, and they became familiar with them after going back and forth.

After moving the things into the tea room, Wang Dao handed a small jewelry box to Sisi.

"For you, Mond's specialty jewelry, the Cecilia flower hairpin."

Sisi did not refuse and took the gift with a smile.

"I'm going to be out for a while and won't be back for dinner. You can just close the door and leave after get off work!"

"Okay, don't worry, boss."

After leaving the tea room, he did not go directly to Wanmin Hall. He had to return the two carriages first. He could just return them directly to Mond Wine's Chamber of Commerce in Liyue. Later, they would help return the carriages to the Knights and Chenxi Winery.

The people at Mondstadt Winery were very enthusiastic. I heard that the carriage belonged to the Knights and Morningside Winery, and they patted their chests and promised that they would send it back intact.

After finishing the last thing, Wang Daoyi set off to Wanmin Hall. There will be a fierce battle tonight. Master Mao will definitely find a way to defeat him at the wine table, the person who took away his little cotton-padded jacket.

But if Wang Dao doesn't worry, the worst he can do is get drunk. Anyway, he already has the little cotton-padded jacket.

"Doichi~"

Just as he was thinking about how to deal with Master Mao at night, a voice sounded in his ears, and he subconsciously turned his head to look, and the next moment, a pale face appeared in front of him.

"Ah~"

Wang Dao, who was startled, punched out, but no one was hit. A thin layer of golden light blocked Wang Daoyi's fist.

"Daoyi, you actually want to hit me, you are so bad!"

It was Hu Tao, the contemporary master of the Rebirth Hall, and the pale face just now was Hu Tao’s friend, Snot Ghost.

Behind Hu Tao is another old father Zhongli. It was Zhongli who blocked Wang Daoyi's attack just now.

"Wutao, if you are so scary, you will get beaten sooner or later!"

Ignoring the girl's poor acting skills, Wang Daoyi couldn't help complaining that he was really scared just now.

This kind of prank where a ghost suddenly pops up in front of you when you are thinking is indeed a bit scary.

"No way. With Zhongli by his side, he can put up a shield, which is amazing!"

Hall Master Hu didn't care at all what Wang Daoyi said. Hall Master Hu was very experienced in pranks. She would never go out of her way to play tricks on ordinary people. She would usually only play tricks on friends and enemies.

Friends don't get angry, and enemies usually don't get angry either.

"Where are you going?" Wang Daoyi asked, no longer obsessed with the prank.

Zhongli still looked calm and didn't seem to want to speak. Hutao had no intention of hiding anything: "There were some unusual movements around Yunlaihai a few days ago. Zhongli and I are going to investigate tonight."

Wang Dao nodded: "Want to help?"

"No need, it's just some small changes. Zhongli and I can handle it!" Hall Master Hu shook his ponytails, not caring about the changes at all, "By the way, Daoyi, when did you come back! How are you? , is traveling fun?”

"I just came back today. It was a good trip. I benefited a lot from it!"

"Okay, okay, we're in a hurry, let's go first!" Hall Master Hu looked at the sky, then pulled Zhongli to leave.

"Little friend, you have a lot of complicated auras about you. If you are willing, little friend, you can come to the Hall of Rebirth and find me tomorrow!"

Zhongli's voice appeared in Wang Daoyi's ear, but he looked at Zhongli who was being pulled by Hu Tao and did not speak.

So, you demon gods are all able to speak without opening your mouth!

After watching the two people who were sent to Shengtang leave, Wang Daoyi continued to walk towards Wanmin Hall.

When we arrived at Wanmin Hall, Master Mao was already preparing dinner, and a sign saying it was closed today was hung at the door of the restaurant.

Xiang Ling was also helping. She felt that Master Mao's invitation to Wang Daoyi for dinner was a sign of reconciliation between her father and her boyfriend, so she happily shuttled between the tables, chairs and benches like a little butterfly in a flower field.

The arrival of Wang Daoyi made the atmosphere in Wanmin Hall more intense.

Xiang Ling's steps became more brisk, and the sound of Master Mao chopping meat became a bit duller.

Seeing the girl's happy look, Wang Daoyi couldn't help but imagine that he had become the meat of Master Mao's kitchen knife.

Shivering and shaking his head, trying to get the horrific scene out of his mind, Wang Daoyi walked into the kitchen and started to help.

When you go to your father-in-law's house, you still have to show off. It's better than just sitting around.

With the busy work of the three of them, one dish after another was quickly served on the table.

Looking at the dazzling array of dishes, Wang Daoyi was very satisfied. This father-in-law was so capable that he really cooked the dishes.

All kinds of ingredients brought back from the Knights were more or less on the table.

Some of the ingredients collected by Master Mao were also taken out.

It seems that my father-in-law spent a lot of money tonight.

With this thought in mind, Wang Daoyi calmly opened a bottle of Dawn Wine and filled it for his father-in-law.

The Dawn Wine was brought back by Wang Daoyi. He had drunk this wine before and knew that it was slow to rise, but once mixed with other wines, it would become a top wine.

The cunning Wang Daoyi is ready to try all the wine brought back from Mondstadt to his father-in-law, hoping to die with him.

Seeing Wang Daoyi take the initiative to pour himself a drink, Master Mao did not realize the other party's sinister intentions, but nodded with satisfaction. It seems that this son-in-law is still very decent and knows how to respect his father-in-law.

With more or less pride in his heart, Master Mao picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

After filling Master Mao's plate again, Wang Daoyi opened another bottle of cider.

After three rounds of drinking, a lot of wine bottles were already empty between glasses and cups.

Master Mao was already a little drunk and shouted loudly that he wanted to tell Wang Daoyi a story about Xiang Ling's childhood.

Wang Daoyi smiled and listened, echoing a few words from time to time, "My father-in-law, I have to support him."

Xiangling was on the side, holding Guo Ba, her eyes full of happiness.

Chapter 53: Destiny is the Ultimate Knowledge

The next day,

Wang Daoyi woke up in the guest room of Wanmin Hall. He still underestimated Master Mao yesterday. Although he knocked him down, Wang Daoyi was also fed back a lot. Finally, he accompanied Xiang Ling to carry Master Mao back to the room. Wanmintang fell asleep.

"Brother Dao Yi, get up and come have breakfast quickly!"

Xiangling was still the first to get up and made breakfast.

"Lu~"

Guo Ba was on the side, sneaking his hand towards the buns on the table.

Master Mao hadn't gotten up yet and had breakfast with Xiang Ling. Wang Daoyi returned to the dock teahouse. He remembered his encounter with Zhongli yesterday. Zhongli asked Wang Daoyi to go to Shengtang to find him.

Returning to the tea room, I freshened up and washed away the smell of drunkenness. I was a handsome young man again.

Bringing a bottle of apple cider sent by an unknown wind god, and some gifts that Wang Daoyi planned to give to the officials of the Palace of Purity, Wang Daoyi went to the Palace of Purity.

Although it was still early in the morning, the Palace of Purity opened its doors early. In the past, the Hall of Purity was not only in the funeral industry, but also the department that dealt with plague diseases in Liyue. However, as the number of medical clinics increased, the Hall of Purity gradually became only responsible for funerals.

Although they are no longer responsible for plague diseases, the habit of opening the medical clinic early has been maintained by the Rebirth Hall.

Arriving at the Hall of Purity, an unknown hostess was already at the door.

"Hey, Brother Dao is here. Are you looking for the hall master or Zhongli Keqing today?"

Since Wang Daoyi came to the Purity Hall every now and then, the ceremony officials were already very familiar with him. After all, there were not many people in Liyue who would always come to the Purity Hall.
