Chapter 174 Hu Tao Lets Zhongli Play the Rock God

[Paimon] "Hey! Lord Ruota! Why are you in the live broadcast room too? When did you join in?"

[Ningguang] "Welcome Ruotu Dragon King to join the live broadcast room."

[Ganyu] "Welcome Ruota Dragon King to join the live broadcast room."

[Yan Fei] "Welcome Ruo Tuo Long Wang to join the live broadcast room."

[Navilette] "Rock Elemental Dragon King? I didn't expect to meet the same kind here."

[Lord Rudra] "After Morax gave me something that looked like a broad bean, I regained consciousness a little, and then I was pulled into this live Q&A room. At first I thought it was an illusion... But I thought it was quite interesting, so I kept diving in it. It wasn't until now that I realized it wasn't an illusion, it was real."

[Hutao] "Things that look like broad beans... could they be Senzu beans? I remember you gave one to Zhongli and one to Funina, could you have given one to the Emperor? When did it happen?"

[Captain] "No? As far as I remember, I only gave one Senzu Bean to Mr. Zhongli and Ms. Finina in your Teyvat continent."

[Xingqiu] "That's really strange. Could it be that the beans that Lord Emperor fed to Ruotu Dragon King were not immortal beans?"

[Lord Ruota] "I remember Morax told me that this thing is called Senzu Bean..."

[Hu Tao] "Well, I remember you told me before, Zhongli, that you gave the Senzu Beans to a friend. Could this friend be..."

[Paimon] "Wow, is Zhongli finally going to be exposed?"

[Wendy] "Ms. Walnut, please be brave and speak out the answer in your mind."

[Zhongli] "It seems I need to go to Mondstadt to meet an old friend."

[Hu Tao] "Zhongli, is the person you gave the Senzu Bean to the Emperor?"

[Zhongli] "As expected of you, you are a hall master. You are naturally intelligent. As you said, after the captain gave me a Senzu bean, Lord Emperor came to me and signed a contract with me. In addition, I admire Lord Emperor so much that I gave the Senzu bean to Lord Emperor."

"The reason why I said it was for an old friend was because of the Emperor's request."

[Hu Tao] "I knew it. Either you gave the Senzu Bean to Lord Yan, or you, Zhongli, are the Emperor. Otherwise, there is no other possibility."

[Zhongli] "Haha, Master Hu, you are joking. I am just a guest of the Rebirth Hall. How can I be the Rock King?"

Although Zhongli has a hunch that this video might expose his identity, he still chooses to continue hiding it. Liyue is now a country ruled by man, and the fewer people who know his true identity, the better. If it is really exposed... let it be.

[Keqing] "Then, Lord Ruotu, did you know that the Emperor was in the live broadcast room?... Don't think too much. I just want to know where he has been hiding since he faked his death. How could he be so irresponsible? I must scold him in person!"

[Lord Ruota] "Little girl, you are very brave. Morax is in the live broadcast room. When I joined the live broadcast room, he happened to find that I also joined the live broadcast room, and then he chatted with me privately. But whether you can find him in person depends on your ability."

After the third round of questions and answers, Zhongli invited the traveler Ying to visit the Ruota Dragon King as a witness. Then during the conversation, he found that the Ruota Dragon King was also invited by Xiaobai to join the live broadcast room, but Xiaobai did not report it in the public chat group at that time.

The video continues. Walnut thinks that Paimon's method is not bad, but he needs to find a more suitable candidate. "Okay, I know who to choose!"

Travelers Ying and Paimon are very confused about the candidate Hu Tao has in mind.

Walnut: "If you want to talk about the most suitable candidate, it's of course the real culprit who wandered around and bought things on credit, causing the Wangsheng Hall to be short of funds and unable to celebrate the festival!"

[Captain] "Just a blind guess, this person is Mr. Zhongli, a guest official of the Wangsheng Hall."

[Walnut] "Oh, you're thinking the same thing as me."

[Traveler Ying] "In a sense, Zhongli is indeed the most suitable person to play the role of Geolord."

[Paimon] "I really want to know how Walnut was able to lock onto him so accurately?"

As expected, the scene changed, and the traveler Ying and others found Zhongli slacking off during work at Sanwan Buguo Port.

Traveler Ying: "Should I say I could actually guess it, Paimon?"

Paimon: "Although, it is indeed outrageous."

After listening to Hu Tao's plan, Zhongli readily agreed to it because it was an order from his boss and for the sake of Wangsheng Hall's business, and in order to avoid certain losses. "Well, from a common sense point of view, my previous actions did cause a lot of trouble to the hall master. It is reasonable for me to take responsibility, so I agreed."

Hu Tao was very satisfied with Zhongli's reply, and a bright smile appeared on her face. "Oh my, you are indeed our most reliable guest. I will let bygones be bygones."

Zhongli: "So...can you put my suitcase back?"

Zhongli looked at Hu Tao who was smiling and carrying Zhongli's suitcase, as if to say that if you don't agree, you will have to leave today.

[Kiana] "I feel like you were forced by Hu Tao, Mr. Zhongli, but I have no evidence."

[Captain] "Kiana, the evidence is right in front of you. Didn't you see the huge suitcase?"

[Traveler Ying] "Zhongli, blink if you feel threatened."

[Walnut] "How can I let a guest go so easily? I am a conscientious boss, right? Guest~"

[Zhongli] "Master Hu is absolutely right."

[Kumiku] "Well, have you completed the task I assigned to you?"

[Zhongli] "After a series of bargaining between me and the boss, I was able to change the bill that was originally sent to Wangsheng Hall to Beiguo Bank."

[Hutao] "Yeah, good, well done, Zhongli."

[Tattaglia] "Mr. Zhongli, you can send the bill to the North Country Bank. It's not my Mora that was spent anyway."

[Rich man] "Daddalia you (birds singing and flowers blooming)!"

The scene changed, and the traveler Ying and Paimon used a little trick to arrange a huge stage for Walnut's next performance.

Walnut looked very excited, and admired the traveler Ying and Paimon more and more. "Wow, I didn't expect you could actually borrow such a big stage! How did you do it?"

Traveler Ying and Paimeng looked at each other. Not long ago, Traveler Ying and Paimeng approached Yunjin and asked to borrow the stage for her usual drama performances.

Seeing this, Yun Jin readily agreed to their request, "I thought it was a big deal. I'll lend you this stage."

Paimeng gave Yunjin a thumbs-up with satisfaction, "As expected of Yunjin, so straightforward!"

Yun Jin looked at the travelers Ying and Paimong, each holding a microphone. In order to prevent the stage from being destroyed and to protect her own ears, she had to resort to this last resort. "Paimong, you're too kind. As long as the two of you keep quiet, you can use this stage however you want."

Back in the present, the traveler Ying's answer to Walnut is "Depend on personal charm."

Paimon: "Right!"
