Chapter 28 Day 2 of Watching a Play in Liyue

"I'm sorry to bother you."

While Sora was busy trying to comfort his personal guide, emergency food, and best friend, a gentle voice sounded from above.

The evening breeze brought the bright moon and fell on the girl's ice-blue hair. The two animal horns that were different from those of humans revealed her non-human identity. The girl had a slim figure, icy skin and bones, and the ice god's eye on her waist was shining faintly.

She claims to be the messenger of the Seven Stars of Liyue.

"messenger?"

Kong was a little confused. When he went to Jueyunjian to look for immortals before, he was blocked by Qianyan Army. Although he had no intention of hurting anyone, he had a grudge with the people behind Qianyan Army. Why would Qixing send an envoy to find him?

"To be precise, my job is to be the secretary responsible for all the Seven Stars, and this time my temporary identity is that of Miss Ningguang's special envoy."

Ganyu spoke again, her voice was very soft, like softly falling fluffy snowflakes that melted at the touch, and it didn't sound like she came with any malice.

As we all know, there are two Liyue Scroll Kings, the half-immortal Ganyu and the Liyue Thunder God. As a half-immortal, the former has far more energy than the latter.

If 996 is already an incredible work intensity for modern workers, then Ganyu's work intensity is almost around the clock. She will take a long sleep when she wants to rest, but most of the time she is very diligent and responsible for the work of the Liyue Seven Stars.

He can be called the king of the books. He even regards work as his main goal in life. He feels empty if he doesn't work for a day. He is simply the worker that capitalists dream of most.

But she is also a cute, confused girl who endures dieting for fear of gaining weight, and who will find a quiet place to sleep when she feels tired.

She said: Miss Ningguang, in her capacity as Tianquan Star, invites travelers returning from Jueyunjian to go to the Qun Yu Pavilion in the sky.

Since it was such a sincere invitation, Kong would certainly not refuse. He also had a lot of questions that he hoped Ningguang would answer, but this letter from Ningguang was obviously for him alone.

Looking at Ganyu's receding back, he turned around to ask something, but was speechless to find that his two friends moved in exactly the same way, raising their glasses and taking a sip together.

"...Aren't you worried about me?"

He is going to the base camp on Tianquan Star. Aren’t they afraid that he will encounter danger?

"From a common sense perspective, since the invitation is so sincere, the other party must have no ill intentions. You can rest assured, traveler."

Zhongli knew Ningguang's character very well. Every Tianquan Star in Liyue was shrewd, and Ningguang was one of the people he favored the most. If she was not sure enough, she would not make a judgment easily.

While the other seven stars were still confused, she had already seen the longer term future and acted decisively.

“Don’t be confused, just follow your heart.”

Shui Qingli put it more concisely. The next thing would require the Traveler to act alone. He did not intend to continue to interfere. This was also what Zhongli asked of him.

Whether it is Osel or the Fatui, these are the crises that the new Liyue must face. He can watch like Zhongli, but cannot take too many actions.

"what……"

The young traveler sighed helplessly. Although the words sounded so nice, these two people actually just didn't want to accompany him to see Ningguang, right?

Qingli has also been led astray by Mr. Zhongli. He used to be eager to help him, but now he acts like a retired old man just like Mr. Zhongli.

Maybe it’s because slacking off and playing badly is contagious, right?

So the traveler, filled with grief and anger, took Paimon to find a way to climb up to the Jade Pavilion.

Shui Qingli blinked, looked at the boy's back, and suddenly turned to look at Zhongli as if she realized something.

"Just now...did that secretary forget to tell Kong how to get to the Jade Pavilion?"

I don’t know if he was also affected by the wear and tear rules of the continent of Teyvat, and he even forgot to remind the boy.

"Well, it seems so."

Zhongli put his hand over his mouth and realized this problem.

Ningguang used a special mechanical talisman and a huge floating stone to successfully float the Qun Yu Pavilion into the sky. To climb into such a palace in the sky, there naturally are special methods. After all, ordinary people cannot fly directly to the sky.

"Have you forgotten that, too, sir?"

Zhongli should not be unaware of how to get to the Qun Yu Pavilion. His current reaction can only mean that he also forgot to remind the traveler about this.

I indeed forgot.

"It doesn't matter."

The guest gentleman from the Wangsheng Hall put down his hand as if nothing had happened, with a very calm attitude.

"The traveler is not a dull person. I think it won't take long for him to find the correct way to heaven."

Furthermore, if Ningguang did not see anyone at the agreed time, she would naturally send a messenger to remind the traveler. As for Ganyu, she might have forgotten because she had too much work to do.

Zhongli has always been tolerant of his secretary Ganyu, who has been working diligently for thousands of years. That child may have contributed more efforts to Liyue than he, the god himself.

As for Kong, who was innocently tricked, there is an old saying in Liyue that every failure makes you wiser. This was also of some benefit to him.

"As for my friend Qingli, why don't you accompany me tomorrow to look for the wild glass lilies?"

Grinding the top-quality wild colored lilies into powder and placing it in the incense burner of eternal life is the last step of the immortal ceremony. However, as time goes by, wild colored lilies are becoming increasingly rare, and now they are almost extinct in the wild, so it takes some effort to find them.

"Of course it's possible."

Shui Qingli nodded in agreement. He raised his head and looked along Sanwan Buguogang. There were countless Liyue houses on both sides of the long street. The road paved with bluestone slabs was clean and tidy, and the houses were arranged in an orderly manner. Even though they were next to each other, it did not seem crowded.

Even at night, many vendors have not yet closed their work. Many workers will buy a bowl of hot Central Plains mixed vegetables after work with empty stomachs to neutralize the night chill.

This street is not much more luxurious than the road where Xiguzhai was located before. Most of Liyue’s ordinary residents live here. They live together and help each other, making this place full of human touch.

People put their arms around each other's shoulders, carried their wine bottles and hummed tunes as they went home. When they woke up, it was a new day.

Perhaps this is the reason why Zhongli likes to listen to Tian Tiezui's storytelling in Sanwan Buguo Port. Although he is exquisite and particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation, what he pursues is only the value of cherishing that is reflected when the craftsmen make clothes, furniture, carriages, and food. For Zhongli, the most valuable thing is the fireworks and world of Liyue Port.

"Sir, Liyue... is such a great place."

He sighed.

When he arrived here, it was as if he had returned to his hometown. Every building and every detail made him feel very familiar.

This relieved a lot of the fear and anxiety that had been hidden in his heart since he came to the continent of Teyvat.

Zhongli raised his glass again and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"In that case, you can stay in Liyue longer."

Liyue is also his pride.
