Chapter 21: Guiliyuan Encounter with Mao Xiangling
After resting for a night in the master bedroom of Dongtian, Tianhe teleported back to his original room in Wangshu Inn. He originally planned to find the shopkeeper Huaian, but he didn't expect that the person at the counter was the owner Philgodette. In fact, they were both owners. It's just that Philgodette is a Mondstadt person and is more accustomed to being called the boss of Mondstadt, while Huaian is a Liyue person and naturally uses the Liyue owner's title.
After checking out of the room, Tianhe went to the top floor of Wangshu Inn and, with the help of Wendy, continued his journey to Liyue Harbor.
"Oh? He left Wangshu Inn so soon. This little guy is really interesting." Ningguang learned from the spy in Wangshu Inn that Tianhe had arrived at Wangshu Inn and had contacted the Immortal Xiao.
“Even Xiao, the three-eyed and five-manifested immortal, recognizes him? Hmm~” Ningguang finished reading the information, and then threw it into the fire calmly. Then a royal sister slowly appeared not far from Ningguang. She had short black hair with a bluish tint, emerald-like pupils, and wore a one-piece leather jacket that was the same blue and white as her hair color. In both hands, she had her family’s ancestral treasure, the "Youqi Wrist Lantern".
Ye Lan, as Ningguang's special intelligence officer, came to Ningguang, playing with the dice in her hand, with narrowed eyes. She didn't expect that her boss would be very interested in a boy, and even asked her to go out for this, and secretly mobilized a large number of manpower. "Could it be that our Lord Tianquan likes this boy? Wants to support him?" Ye Lan teased, "If it's him, maybe, um, maybe I can consider it." Ningguang did not directly admit or deny it.
"Do I still need to get close to him?" Ye Lan was a little disappointed because she didn't tease Ningguang, but she was excited to get close to such an opponent with special abilities. Because she didn't find any trace of Tianhe along the way, and then she got the information that Tianhe suddenly came to Wangshu Inn without any signs. There was only one possibility, Tianhe didn't take the land or sea route like others, but chose the unobstructed sky!
This was really an opponent beyond her comprehension. After all, Ye Lan had not yet fought against the Fatui executive, the rich Pantalone. She also had a great interest in this little guy who might have the ability to fly continuously at high altitudes.
As if seeing through Ye Lan's thoughts, "Has that layer of rock abyss been confirmed to be closed?" Ningguang asked a question that most people would find inexplicable, but Ye Lan had not yet experienced the loss of many companions at this time, and replied: "The Seven Star Formation has been set up, and the Pan Key is used as the center of the formation. No one can "normally enter" without the consent of the Seven Stars of Liyue. Could it be that Lord Tianquan wants to contact the boy in person?"
Ningguang frowned. She could tell that Ye Lan was teasing her boss. After thinking for a while, she relaxed and said, "Then, when the boy arrives in Liyue Harbor, go and contact him."
"Okay." After Ye Lan got the reply she wanted, her figure slowly disappeared, as if to confirm a rumor in Liyue Harbor - "Wherever Tianxing is thought of, there happens to be a wandering guest."
Let's turn our attention to the Fatui. At this time, the executive "Princess" Dadalia, after asking around, finally found the guest of the Wangsheng Hall, Zhong Li, who was eating three bowls of Huyan and listening to a story next to the storyteller Tian Tiezui. She was handsome and elegant. Zhong Li was listening to a story. So, she saw that there was no one sitting next to Zhong Li, so she found a seat and sat down, and asked Zhong Li, "Excuse me, you are Miss Zhong Li, right?" Dadalia had not been in Liyue for a long time, and she had come into contact with some of Liyue's traditional etiquette, so she made a gesture that she wanted to make friends with Zhong Li.
"I'm Zhong Li. May I ask what advice this lady has for me?" Zhong Li seemed to know the true identity of the executive and did not expose him. She just asked Dadalia why she came here.
"Uh, I just want to make, uh, friends with Miss Zhong Li, and I can pay your bills for you." Based on the existing intelligence, Dadalia knew that all of Miss Zhong Li's expenses were reimbursed by the Wangsheng Hall, so she didn't hesitate to use the funds of the Northland Bank. At worst, she could exceed the target, and the rich man shouldn't beat her to death.
Zhong Li's eyes lit up when she heard the latter part of the sentence. Although she was a guest at the Wangsheng Hall, all her expenses were reimbursed by the Wangsheng Hall. However, she also used her extraordinary knowledge and eloquence to find new customers for the Wangsheng Hall, so she was able to settle the reimbursement bills quickly. However, if she didn't have to spend the money of the Wangsheng Hall, why not make friends with an executive officer and have more money for herself?
"Okay." Zhong Li nodded. This was not a contract, so he made a verbal agreement with Dadalia. He continued to listen to the book, and Tian Tiezui just said: "The last book said: At that time, Liyue was invaded by a big demon in the sea, and there were evil dragons in the mountains. The Emperor of Rock King summoned all the immortals to restore peace to the world. Legend has it that when the emperor went to war, he said..."
Then he changed the subject, "Although I have no intention of competing, I know the suffering of the people. I only want to cleanse the four directions and protect a corner of the world. That was the original contract of Liyue. There is a poem to prove it:
The metal and rocks collapsed and the dust was swept away; the silted water in the mountains opened up.
The dragon's eyes are dotted with power, and the lingering dragons are broken to bring rain and dew."
Tian Tiezui seemed to pause for a moment on the stage, then he cupped his hands and said: "Well, today's storytelling ends here. Ladies and gentlemen, please listen to my explanation next time!" Then Tian Tiezui didn't care whether the people in the audience accepted it or not, but he seemed not very happy about it. Tian Tiezui seemed to have something important to do, so he jumped off the stage and left in a hurry.
"Then, Miss Zhongli, can you introduce me to the scenery and characteristics of Liyue?" Dadalia wanted this knowledgeable person who was quite impressed to first get to know the cultural characteristics of Liyue Port, and maybe bring it to her family to see later?
“Well, if we want to enjoy the scenery of Liyue, then we might as well start from Chihuyan.” Thus, this wonderful combination became famous in Liyue Port.
In the afternoon, Tianhe came to Guiliyuan with the help of Wendy. At first, he didn’t see anyone on the road. Then he suddenly saw a girl being chased by hillbillies. Then she shouted: "Wow, monsters are attacking people!" Tianhe heard this familiar voice while falling from the sky. Isn’t this Xiangling?
Although it is not visible now, judging from the familiar decoration, the Eye of the God of Fire and the rice crust on her body, it should be Xiangling, but isn't she the disciple of Grandma Ping? Oh, the gun was knocked away by the hillock thugs. Looking carefully, the Xia Li Mie Chen was stuck in a mound not far from Xiangling. So Tianhe quickly took action and transformed the Thousand Chance Umbrella into an assault rifle, but of course it was a burst of fire. After all, Xiangling was not as tall as the hillock people at this time, and under Tianhe's deliberate control, all the hillock people were dealt with.
"Hey, were you the one who helped me? Big brother." Xiangling was very grateful to Tianhe at this time. After all, she was not careful on the way to find food and disturbed the Hillil people's sweet dreams, so she was besieged by a large group of Hillil people. If there were only a few or a dozen, she could still deal with them, but there were probably hundreds of Hillil people in this settlement.
"Well, my name is Tianhe. What's your name?" Although Tianhe recognized little Xiangling at this time, he still asked Xiangling's name. After all, Xiangling had not yet made a name for herself in Liyue Harbor, so no one in Mondstadt knew that this girl would become the famous chef of Wanmin Hall in the future.
"My name is Xiangling, hehe, big brother smells really good." Xiangling picked up her own Miechen in the box and put it in her God's Eye space. After all, this was a gift from her master, Grandma Shi Ping, and she couldn't throw it away.
Tianhe looked at the cute little Xiangling tenderly, and then Xiangling held Tianhe's hand. Although she was a little sweaty after the battle, she could still smell the fragrance of the girl and the faint redness on her face. "Then big brother, let's go to Liyue Harbor together!" Xiangling had a good impression of this young man with Liyue looks, so she wanted to take him to Wanmin Hall and cook for him herself.
"Well, let's go." "Great!" In the sunset, Tianhe and Xiangling walked towards Liyue Harbor.
