Chapter 18 Day 2 of Watching a Play in Liyue

Before Mr. Anlit received the news, Shui Qingli had already sensed something was wrong.

It stands to reason that as a resting place for traveling caravans, it is normal for Wangshu Inn to have more people, but there are indeed too many people hiding here.

Those hidden gazes might not be noticeable to ordinary people, but with his current strength, it was not difficult to discover them. The water element circulating in the air also conveyed an uneasy feeling, which reminded him of something.

It seems that the ceremony of inviting the immortals has not yet been completed, otherwise the people of Liyue would not be so anxious. The emotions of the people below also reflect the situation at the upper level. The Seven Stars of Liyue are probably also in a state of panic.

The time he came was not the right one. He should have come later. Shui Qingli felt a little regretful.

But he was too embarrassed to bother Lisa any more. Was it so easy to owe a favor to the Rose Witch? What if Lisa's bad taste took over him? Should he refuse or not?

Although he lost his composure for a moment, Mr. Anlit had been the leader of the purchasing team for many years, so he quickly tried his best to calm down. Since the agreed transaction had to be temporarily canceled, he had no reason to continue to go to Liyue, so he came to ask Shui Qingli about his plans.

"With something so serious happening in Liyue, it's no wonder that Boss Filgodette said our deal can't be completed."

At this time, the people of Liyue were immersed in sadness and anger over the assassination of the Emperor. If one was not careful, it would easily arouse public anger, especially for unfamiliar foreign faces, which would be even more conspicuous.

"Mr. Shui, how about you come back with us to Mondstadt first? Liyue right now... I'm afraid it doesn't welcome outsiders."

When a god is assassinated, the most likely suspects are people from other countries. This can be seen from the Qianyan Army's strict checks on passers-by. They are particularly strict on unfamiliar faces that they have never seen before.

"I see."

Shui Qingli did not plan to return to Mondstadt. He traveled all the way from Mondstadt to Liyue. His strength gradually recovered, and his control over the water element increased day by day. He even mastered the ability to turn his body into water.

Water has no constant state, and as long as he wants to escape, no one can catch him.

So he still rejected Mr. Anlit's kindness. He still wanted to watch the drama in Liyue.

Maybe you can even see some famous scenes.

After all, when Kong and his companions went to the Wind Dragon Ruins in Mondstadt, he had not even mastered the common language of Teyvat.

"Well, this is a token from the Dawn Winery. If you encounter any difficulties in Liyue, you can ask for help at any time."

As the richest man in Mondstadt with businesses across the Seven Kingdoms, Diluk naturally has businesses in Liyue. Although his business is not as busy as the local taverns and teahouses, Mondstadt's specialty drinks and food have attracted many customers.

Although the Qianyan Army's inspections were strict, they did not impose strict surveillance on all foreign populations and prohibit entry and exit as imagined. After all, the ceremony of inviting the immortals had already passed, and Liyue was a commercial-oriented country, so naturally they could not keep all merchants out.

At least Shui Qingli entered Liyue Harbor smoothly. Unfortunately, Liyue Harbor is very quiet now. Although people are leading a normal life, even the hawking sounds can hardly be heard on the streets. Among the passers-by, only the faces of people other than Liyue are calm.

Of course, even if you are not a Liyue person, you will be affected by this atmosphere. After all, any foreigner with a normal mind will not poke the lungs of Liyue people at this time, unless they do not plan to enter Liyue in the future.

The entire Liyue was immersed in the sorrow of losing the Emperor, but the operation of Liyue did not stop, it was just affected to some extent. This was exactly the result that Zhongli wanted to get when testing the Seven Stars of Liyue.

But, it's not enough.

The handsome and elegant young man sat at the tea stall. His leisurely and calm temperament seemed to separate him from the Liyue people coming and going in two different worlds, but no one noticed.

Every Liyue person had a heavy look on their face, but no one stopped the work in their hands.

Human beings have always been strong beings. No matter what happens, they will strive to survive.

So far, everyone’s reactions are still as expected, and the Seven Stars’ response is also very reasonable and perfect, but this is just on the surface. If we really face a powerful external force, such as an invasion by a demon god, can Liyue face it alone without relying on immortals and gods?

I think that the "young master" of the Fatui will give him the answer.

A touch of Danxia color spread out, the young man laughed, and disappeared at the tea stall.

He was ready to fulfill the contract and attend a long-prepared banquet, hoping that the traveler who solved the Mond Dragon Plague would not let him down.

Travelers said it was not very good and even very troubled.

Although "Prince" Tartaglia did not show hostility as clearly as "Lady", it was obvious from his attitude that he had some ulterior motive. No matter how enthusiastic he looked, he was still an executive of the Fatui.

He didn't trust the Fatui anyway, but unfortunately Kong was unable to find out the true purpose of that seemingly straightforward and innocent young man.

"Wow, so much delicious food!"

Paimon wouldn't think so much. She only saw the table full of delicious food. Since she arrived in Liyue, she was chased by the Thousand Rocks Army before she had the chance to eat Liyue's special food, and then she ran a long way to find the immortal. She had been greedy for a long time.

Kong rubbed his forehead helplessly. He knew that Paimon was too easy to take the bait.

But he had to admit that the figure sitting at the top seat and calmly drinking tea immediately caught Kong's attention.

This is indeed an extremely outstanding gentleman.

Since landing on the continent of Teyvat, Kong has seen many people with outstanding looks and temperament. Several of Mond's friends are among the best. Even Razor, who grew up in a wolf pack, has a wild temperament that is extremely eye-catching, but all his attention is still occupied by the man in front of him named Zhongli.

Although he looks to be about the same age as Diluk, Kaeya and the others, his temperament is extremely calm, like fine wine brewed by the precipitation of time, exuding a thick yet mellow aroma.

The man was wearing a Danxia-colored Li Yue robe with golden dragon patterns embroidered on the hem. A pair of slender fingers with black gloves were holding a cup of tea. There seemed to be a flash of brilliance in his golden eyes when he looked over, and he looked intimidating without even being angry.

However, the warrior from Zhidong was not as alert as him. On the contrary, he sat down next to Zhongli naturally and greeted him in a familiar manner.

"Hey, Mr. Zhongli arrived earlier than I thought."

"It is a contract and should be obeyed."

Zhongli put down the tea in his hand and nodded his head without changing his expression.

"From a general rational point of view, arriving a little earlier than the agreed time is also a basic etiquette for meeting guests."

This is Liyue's home ground, and the Fatui executive from Winterfell is naturally the guest.

Even if it is an evil guest with bad intentions.
