Chapter 52: Meet Xiangling again at Wanmin Hall, and meet Yunjin by chance at Tiger Rock
The last chapter said that the forces in Liyue had changed to some extent because of Tianhe, and the Ninth Company was heading towards the main mine tunnel of Juyuan. There were also other people who wanted to get to know Tianhe, and Tianhe's reputation spread to other places.
Of course, after Tianhe returned to Liyue Harbor, it was still morning, so Tianhe decided to go see Xiangling first. Well, he also invited Ruoxue and Zhongli to have a meal in a private room at Wanmin Hall. Ruoxue had been sealed under the Fulong Tree for thousands of years without eating. Now that she had tasted the delicacies of Liyue, she was a little tearful, so Tianhe also specially ordered a menu to satisfy Ruoxue. Fortunately, no one saw Ruoxue, such a beautiful woman, wolfing down her food, as if she had been hungry for several years.
As for Tianhe, of course he asked Zhong Li to chat with Ruoxue, and he went directly to Xiangling, who was still busy making new dishes in the kitchen. "Xiangling, guess who I am?" Tianhe covered Xiangling's eyes with his hands and deliberately lowered his voice. Xiangling put down her work without thinking and hugged the person behind her.
"Hehe, it must be Brother Tianhe, right? I can sense a very familiar person behind me, but that person is definitely not my stinky dad, so it must be Brother Tianhe. Hehe, by the way, Brother Tianhe, where have you been recently? I noticed that you haven't been in Liyue Harbor for a week. Did you do something big again?"
"Have you heard of King Ruota?" Tianhe seemed to be hinting at something. Xiangling thought about what she had heard from her master about the South Heaven Gate and the legend of the Fulong Tree. "Could it be that King Ruota, the comrade-in-arms who fought side by side with the former Emperor Yan during the Demon God War. I heard from my master that King Ruota went mad because the Liyue people over-exploited the mining area, and he fought with the emperor all the way, and was finally suppressed at the South Heaven Gate. The symbol of his suppression was a huge Fulong tree." Xiangling slowly told Tianhe the story about King Ruota that she had heard from True Lord Ge Chenlangshi.
Suddenly Xiangling thought of something. Tianhe's words just now were meaningful. Then she widened her eyes, and there seemed to be little stars in her pupils. She shouted in surprise: "Could it be that Brother Tianhe, you solved the reason why the Ruotu Dragon King went crazy? Right?" Tianhe rubbed Xiangling's little head and confirmed Xiangling's guess. He said, "Yes, Xiangling, you are right. I left Liyue Port this time just for the Ruotu Dragon King. Now the reason why the Ruotu Dragon King went crazy has been completely solved. Liyue now has another fighter at the level of the Seventh Ruler of the Mortal World, and her current name is Ruoxue."
"Wow, Ruoxue is a really nice name. She uses the "Ruo" of the Dragon King Ruota as her surname. You are worthy of being Brother Tianhe. Well, is she in Liyue Harbor now? By the way, I heard from others that you also set out to Jueyunjian with Zhongli, the guest official from the Wangsheng Hall. Is Zhongli also an immortal?" Tianhe sensed that there was no one nearby, so he asked Xiangling, "Xiangling, promise me not to tell anyone, okay?" Xiangling nodded. She would definitely not tell anyone. After all, her master, Grandma Ping, was also one of the Three-Eyed Five-Manifested Immortals, but she changed back to her original appearance some time ago. Xiangling could only call her Master instead.
"Zhong Li is actually the Rock King who retired not long ago. Well, that's all I can say, but she did trick me." Tianhe gave the answer, and Xiangling naturally believed him. After all, too many incredible things happened around Tianhe. As for the fact that Zhong Li was the former Rock King Morax, although she had encountered many major events before, this matter still made Xiangling feel a little surprised.
After all, Zhong Li used to come to Wanmin Hall to eat from time to time. Although she had always asked Wangsheng Hall to reimburse her bills, she now asked Beiguo Bank to reimburse her bills. She also brought a short-haired Zhidong countryman named Dadalia with her. She is now a repeat customer here. However, Zhong Li spoke highly of Xiangling's cooking skills and pointed out many shortcomings. Xiangling was very grateful to Zhong Li for pointing out her shortcomings and making Xiangling's cooking skills gradually more sophisticated. No wonder Zhong Li, although she looks quite young, has a gentleness that is completely different from her young appearance and knowledge far beyond ordinary people. It turns out that she is the rock god Morax.
Xiangling was stunned for a moment. She scratched her head and said to Tianhe in surprise: "Brother Tianhe, this really surprises me. I didn't expect that Zhongli's guest official is the former Rock King. Hehe, I remember she is eating in a private room now. Could the beauty next to her be Ruoxue, the Ruota Dragon King?" "Well, don't tell anyone else, but you can ask Zhongli more questions about cooking in the future, and let her try your new dishes. After all, she has cheated me many times." Tianhe's words gave Xiangling a reason to get close to Zhong Li.
Therefore, Xiangling would wait until Zhongli was here as a guest before making many new dishes and asking her to taste them. Although Zhongli could give accurate evaluations every time, she was reluctant to refuse some dishes even though she did not like them. However, she could never imagine who told Xiangling to give her the first chance to eat the innovative dishes. However, that is a story for later.
Even if Zhong Li knew that Xiang Ling knew her true identity, it would not matter. After all, Xiang Ling was not such a big mouth and knew to keep it a secret for her. However, Tianhe took Xiang Ling to see Ruoxue and Zhong Li. Fortunately, Ruoxue had already cleaned up the oil stains on the corners of her mouth when she sensed someone coming, and ate slowly. After all, she knew that eating in that way was too embarrassing in front of the younger generation. No, it was embarrassing.
"Zhong Li, Ruoxue, Xiang Ling already knows your true identities, but she is trustworthy. It's just that you may not feel good in the future." Zhong Li waved her hand and said calmly: "It doesn't matter, I naturally believe in the disciple of Master Ge Chenlangshi." Zhong Li naturally didn't care. She knew that the character of Ge Chenlangshi's disciples was naturally far beyond ordinary people.
Ruoxue was still busy tasting the food, saying, "Since Zhongli said so, I also believe in the girl's character. Let's not talk about it for now. It's really delicious." Tianhe looked at Ruoxue like this and estimated that she would eat for a while longer, and the Dragon King was starving. However, Xiangling also ran to Zhongli to chat with her, so Tianhe said goodbye to them in advance and went to meet Yunjin.
At this time, Yunjin didn't have a performance that day. She was walking around the Tiger Rock in Liyue Harbor, and then she saw Tianhe coming out. Yunjin's eyes lit up and she immediately ran to Tianhe's side. She hugged Tianhe's arm and said happily: "Brother Tianhe, are you free now? I want to take you to meet my friend Xinyan, she is a rock and roll fan."
Tianhe naturally agreed, and rubbed Yunjin's little head with his other hand, and said to Yunjin gently: "I haven't had much to do recently, so Yunjin, let's go see Xinyan! I haven't seen Fontaine's rock since I came here."
So Yunjin held Tianhe's hand and walked through Chihu Rock, crossed a wooden bridge to the outskirts of the city, and then walked forward. After all, Xinyan had to hide from Qianyan Army to build a stage because of the rock with fire, and this time it was outside the city. However, Qianyan Army turned a blind eye to Xinyan's rock because there was no accident.
After walking for half an hour, "We're here." Yun Jin saw the stage built by Xin Yan. Xin Yan hadn't started performing yet, but he heard Yun Jin's voice outside and came out to greet Yun Jin.
"Yunjin, good morning. Hey, this guy looks familiar." Xin Yan took a few steps forward and gave Yunjin a warm hug, then let go and looked at Tianhe beside Yunjin. "Hello, my name is Tianhe, and I'm a traveler."
"Traveler, Traveler, could it be that Tianhe is the new Rock King!" Xin Yan pondered for a few words and guessed Tianhe's true identity. Before Tianhe replied, Yun Jin revealed his identity for him, "Hehe, Xin Yan, you guessed right. Tianhe is the new Rock King of Liyue Harbor, and he has done a lot of great things."
"Wow, Emperor, you are here to watch me rock too? This is too rock!" Xin Yan said with a sigh. She had heard Yun Jin say that she would bring a friend to watch her rock, but she didn't expect that this person was actually the Rock King Emperor. She thought it was a joke before. But now, it's really not a joke but a fact in front of Xin Yan, which makes Xin Yan feel a little restrained.
"Okay." Tianhe put his hand on Xinyan's shoulder, "Just call me Tianhe, and I can call you Xinyan too. I came here to see your rock and roll. There's no need to be so distant with each other. The identity of the Emperor is also, well, a shameless guy who cheated me. Then I'll wait for your performance here." Xinyan readily agreed, and then ran backstage. Tianhe found a suitable place, took out two chairs, put them on the ground, and pulled Yunjin to sit down together, waiting for Xinyan's performance.
