Seeker of Teyvat

Jiaming didn't look back: "This is my job!"

Ye De's expression froze and he opened his mouth slightly, but he didn't know what to say.

Paimeng looked at Ying proudly, and then quickly flew to Ye De's side: "Jia Ming is very powerful, let's not drag him down."

When the two robbers saw Jiaming's desperate look, they looked at each other and knew it was time to retreat.

"It's really a big deal! Let's go and find a soft bag before we make plans!"

After saying that, the two ran back.

Jiaming looked grim: "How can I let you go so easily?"

He was worried that these two robbers would attract more robbers to harm his father, so he was unwilling to let these two people go and immediately chased them.

"Jiaming!" Ye De shouted and stretched out his hand.

But Jiaming didn't respond.

"Don't worry, I told you that Jiaming is very skilled!" Paimeng comforted, "Last time he had no problem dealing with a dozen treasure thieving groups by himself."

Ye De was still a little worried: "But, Jiaming..."

He wanted to say something, but found that he didn't understand his child at all and couldn't say anything.

Finally, I could only sigh: "Alas..."

Then there was a trace of dissatisfaction: "If this child had been willing to stay with me to learn business, how could he have encountered such a dangerous thing?"

Seeing Ye De mentioning the previous incident again, Paimeng quickly interrupted: "We should listen to Jiaming and move forward first. It would be bad if there are other ambushes nearby."

Yingye nodded: "Yes, let's go to a safe place first."

Ye De was also worried that another robber would come, so he immediately started packing his things.

The group of people rushed to a safe place,

And on the rocks not far away, a blue crane has been watching here.

……

Ying and his group moved forward and ran wildly for dozens of minutes.

Finally stopped in a green space,

"Huh, huh, it should be fine if we make it this far." Pamon said panting.

We still don’t know how Paimon got tired from running while he was constantly flying.

"Hey, wait, that's... Zhongli, and Ruotulong... uncle."

Paimon's eyes widened and he pointed to the roadside not far away.

Ying looked along Paimon's finger, and sure enough, on the roadside not far away, there were two people flying kites.

There was a young man in gorgeous clothes and a big man with an impatient face.

"Why are they here?" Paimon was confused.

Ying is also a little confused.

While they were still confused, Ye De had already walked up to them and said, "Brother, listen to my advice. Reel in your line and leave quickly! There are robbers around here!"

Ruotuo, who was originally looking impatient, immediately perked up: "Robbers? Where are the robbers?"

Ye De didn't even know why this big man was so excited.

But he still subconsciously pointed in the direction he came from.

"Hahahaha, I'm just bored. I'm going to fight the robbers. You can fly the kite by yourself." After saying that, regardless of Zhongli's helpless expression, he jumped up and disappeared in front of everyone.

Ye De:......

Although he has been in business for many years and is well-informed, Ruotuo Dragon King's big jump still made him a little confused.

"Oh, brother, don't worry. This friend of mine is very powerful and eager for justice. When he heard that there were robbers coming out, he couldn't help himself." Zhongli explained.

Beside them, Ying and Paimon looked at each other, suddenly having a bad feeling.

Ruotuo Dragon King... wouldn't give those two true kings a beating.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Cough cough cough cough."

Paimon and Ying nearly coughed their lungs out,

Zhongli turned to look at them, and then he probably understood something.

"I heard that a lot of people have been suffering from colds recently. If you two feel uncomfortable with your throat, you can sit down and drink some tea." Zhongli pointed and there was indeed a tea stall not far away.

Paimeng's face turned pale, and he waved his hands quickly: "Ah, uh... No, no, I just... ate too many cakes..."

Ying crossed her arms and glanced at Zhongli: (Has he figured it out but is still playing dumb...)

"Well, the scenery is just right. We have nothing to do. We might as well find a quiet place to sit for a while, calm our minds and wait for good news." Zhong Li looked at Ye De.

After a slight hesitation, Ye De could only sigh: "Well... that's great."

So Zhongli put away the kite and continued to move forward with everyone. They all came to a Qianyan Army station, found a tea stall, and sat down again.

At the tea stall,

After the store served tea,

Paimeng continued his line: "Actually, there is a reason why Uncle Ye is nervous. After all, our escort Jiaming is his son."

"Jia Ming... I've heard of this name a little bit. He must be the one who performed the animal dance in the city recently." Zhongli said, supporting his chin with one hand.

Paimon was a little surprised: "Oh? Zhongli, have you seen it too?"

Zhongli nodded. "That young man has a solid foundation and mature skills. His cooperation with the Ni beast is perfect. Recently, the beast dance has become popular in Liyue Harbor. However... although it is just beginning, the difficulties involved are not easy for the audience to understand. If you ask me, the spirit of facing challenges head-on is the most valuable."

As he spoke, Zhongli looked at Ye De: "Several of my tea friends have mentioned that Jiaming is warm-hearted and chivalrous... Uncle Ye should be very pleased to have such a talented and virtuous child."

(Ye...Uncle Ye?) Ying had a strange look on his face, and he opened his mouth wide, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

Paimon even lost his face: (He also followed everyone in calling him Uncle Ye.)

Ye De didn't know Zhong Li's identity, so he naturally didn't feel anything. However, when he heard good things about his child from an outsider, he couldn't help but feel a little proud: "He... is really hardworking."

Paimon saw this and quickly followed up: "When Jiaming comes back, you should also praise him more in person!"

This made Ye De a little embarrassed,

"This..." He looked hesitant, not knowing how to answer.

The complicated expression on his face vividly portrays the image of an old father who wants to communicate with his son, but is afraid that his son will not communicate with him.

Ying and Paimeng didn't understand, but Zhongli saw it clearly: "Jiaming is a young man with a fiery temperament... Well, that's normal. If Uncle Ye is not convenient to speak, we can convey anything on his behalf."

Ye De quickly waved his hand to refuse: "How can this be possible! This is inappropriate..."

Then he hesitated for a moment before talking about the conflict between him and his child: "Alas, it is also a thing of the past. Actually... Actually, there are some things between us father and son that cannot be explained."

"I have been in the tea business for most of my life, and I always wanted my children to learn how to do business. Otherwise, how will they support themselves in the future?

But in recent years, I heard that his escort business has been getting better and better, and he has been going to more and more places... and he can't give up his animal dance performance. I am happy, but also worried.

When we were young, we were strong and healthy, and we could eat three bowls of rice in one go. But what should we do when we are old?

Every time I think of this kind of place, I feel that my judgment was correct... I shouldn't have given in to this weakness.

I even regretted it several times. If I had known better, I shouldn’t have taken him to see some animal dance show when he was a child! "

After hearing this, everyone could not understand what Ye De meant.

What this old father wants to do is actually to pave a way for his children so that they can have food and clothing without worries in the future.

He opposed Jiaming's engagement in animal dance, not because he didn't like animal dance, but because it was a strenuous job.

You can eat this meal when you are young, but what will you do when you are old?

When the old father thinks that when his child gets old, he is no longer there and the child loses his livelihood, he naturally cannot agree to his child continuing this job.

That's why he was so opposed to Jiaming.

Of course, this is essentially related to the current status of the dance animal show in the world.

If the animal dance opera has the same well-established inheritance and audience as Liyue opera, then there is no need to worry.

But it is a pity that today's animal dance drama has not been accepted by everyone in Liyue Port.

Otherwise, Ye De wouldn't have to worry about Jiaming getting old and having nothing to eat.

After all, when it comes to artistic performance, the older you get, the more you have the right to speak.

"The fathers want to pave the way for the younger generation. Anyone who listens can understand this intention. Uncle Ye does not need to worry about it." Zhongli said.

Ye De's eyes lit up. It was a good feeling to be understood. "Mr. Zhongli looks young, but he is so knowledgeable... Could it be that I misjudged your age?"

Zhong Li smiled and said: "Hahaha, Uncle Ye is too polite. To be honest, I have an old friend. Several daughters in the family have become independent. One of my own children has also left my plans early."

"Originally, like you, I hoped that he would inherit my property and live a good life, but this life is full of accidents, and he still embarked on a more difficult path. Fortunately, he still came through. So, Ye Uncle, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Rather than worrying about the younger generation, it is better to give it a try and let the children go on their own."

on the side,

Ying and Paimeng looked at each other, was this talking about Dao Yi?

It turns out that Zhongli also planned a path for Dao Yi, but in the end, Dao Yi didn't follow it?

In fact, the path Zhongli planned for Wang Daoyi was much better than the path Ye De planned for Jiaming.

If Wang Daoyi had followed the path planned by Zhongli, he would have become the second generation Liyue ruler and the next God of Rocks.

Unfortunately, in the end Wang Daoyi embarked on his own path and opened up a new foundation in the desert.

Therefore, Zhongli was both helpless and proud.

I feel helpless that no one has taken my place, but I am proud that my family can achieve such an achievement.

From this point of view, Zhongli and Ye De are the same, but Zhongli is more open-minded and more open-minded than Ye De.

Ye De was somewhat envious: "You and your old friend are really open-minded. I... am afraid I am not open-minded enough. Oh, yes, I wanted to say it just now. Brother Zhongli, you don't have to be polite. If you like, just call me Brother Ye."

Zhongli nodded: "Okay."

Next to them, Paimon and Ying looked strange.

Ye De continued: "So, brother Zhongli also thinks that I worry too much?"

"Ah, Brother Ye, you are wrong. It is right to care for your children. However, just like the kites flying everywhere recently, it is not necessarily good to stretch the string too tight." Zhongli said, "My old friend often said that if children and grandchildren have lofty ambitions, they just want to explore the sky... If you pull the string too tight, the kite will fall to the ground more easily."

Hearing this, Ye De lowered his head and sighed: "...Alas...I am still too pedantic!"

Zhongli shook his head: "Family friendship cannot be called pedantic. What Brother Ye needs is just to relax a little. Brother Ye is a very affectionate person, so why not spend some time thinking about Jiaming, walk around, drink tea and enjoy the scenery? . Maybe there will be a surprise in the blink of an eye."

"One day, one year, or one moment. The younger generation always grows up inadvertently. Brother Ye, as a father, understands best."

This was what Zhongli said from the bottom of his heart. This was how he diverted his attention.

Drink tea and watch the scenery, and then wait for Wang Daoyi to send you new questions or good news.

Sometimes, if you don't rush your child, your child will be willing to get close to you.

Of course, Wang Daoyi's closeness was mostly because he needed Zhongli's help when he had something to do, not just family affection.

Ye De smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Jia Ming this brat...haha, isn't it? If I don't watch him for a while, he will become arrogant!"

Seeing that Ye De's attitude seemed to be softening, Paimeng whispered in Ying's ear: "This guy, what he said is very logical..."

Ye De and Zhong Li chatted more and more deeply about the topic of their children's education. Ying and Paimon looked on with smiles.

Time passed little by little until a young man walked over from a distance with a strange look on his face.

"Eh? It's Jiaming who's back." Paimeng had good eyesight and spotted the person at a glance, "Jiaming—we're here!"

Jiaming came over: "Dad, there are... a few... Mr. Zhongli from the Wangsheng Hall is here too!"

Zhongli smiled slightly: "Haha, we met by fate, so let's chat a few words together."

Ye De asked with concern: "Has everything been solved?"

Jiaming looked strange: "That's right."

……

The scene goes back to two hours ago.
