Genshin Impact: Knowing the truth, why choose?

Hearing what Ying said, Hu Tao became very interested: "Oh? Ying, do you seem very confident? Then it seems we have to make it more difficult!"

Gu Xin asked at this time: "By the way, as hosts, why are you two here at Wangshu Inn?"

Paimon: "I understand! You are here to discuss the poetry contest!"

Hutao: "Paimon's mind is really getting smarter! He guessed wrong so easily!"

Paimon was stunned: "Huh? So why are you two here?"

Wendy: "Actually, we want to invite a special guest."

"Special guest? At Wangshu Inn?" Ying suddenly understood something: "I seem to know who it is..."

Gu Xin nodded and looked at Wendy: "I almost know who it is, you really can invite her."

Wendy: "Hey."

Then, as if to verify Ying and Gu Xin's conjecture, Mandrill appeared directly on the roof of the house behind everyone.

At the same time, Mandrill's voice also came: "As I said just now, I won't go. I have never written a poem, let alone commenting on it. Besides, I have a karma, and I am most afraid of crowded places and noisy places. You two are not unaware .”

Hutao: "Hey, you can't say that. There is always a first time for everything. Who doesn't start with [a piece of grass on the ground and two birds on the tree]? Even if Shangxian is not there, he can just watch the excitement on the nearby hills. It’s okay to support him. Or just hang out near the inn.”

Mandrill remained silent, but did not refuse.

Seeing this, Wendy took the opportunity to strike while the iron was hot: "Besides, with this famous person here, there's nothing to worry about, right?"

Ying understood what Wendy meant, so she looked at Mandrill: "Drill, let's play together."

Mandrill was silent for a moment and sighed: "I will consider it."

After saying that, Mandrill left this place.

Seeing this, everyone shook their heads helplessly.

Later, Hu Tao and Wendy still wanted to discuss the reason for the opening poem, so Gu Xin, Ying, and Paimon said goodbye to them and walked towards the stone gate.

Not long after, the three of them arrived at the Shimen, where the venue was located.

Seeing many people at the stone gate in front of him, Paimon sighed: "Wow, there are so many people here!"

Gu Xin was not surprised by this: "It's normal. After all, in a sense, this is the first event jointly organized by Mondstadt and Liyue. There will definitely be many people coming to participate in the competition, even if they are not here to participate in the competition. Come join in the fun.”

Paimeng nodded: "That makes sense! Huh? Look, is that You Yeli?"

Gu Xin looked in the direction Paimon pointed and actually saw You Yeli drinking juice and sitting on a chair with his back to them.

Gu Xin: "Well, it's that guy Ye Li. It seems like I kept him waiting for a long time. Hello, Ye Li!"

You Yeli, who was drinking juice at the moment, was slightly startled when he heard Gu Xin's shout, then turned around and saw Gu Xin.

"Gu Xin?!" After seeing Gu Xin's arrival, You Yeli stood up with juice and walked towards Gu Xin: "You are finally here. It took a long time this time, I still have I thought you didn’t plan to come!”

Gu Xin smiled helplessly: "Ahem, sorry, sorry. I met Ying and Paimon before I was ready to come, and it took a while to bring them here. Well, look."

With that said, Gu Xin took a step sideways to reveal the figures of Ying and Paimon.

Paimon: "You Yeli! Long time no see!"

Ying: "Long time no see."

You Yeli: "It's you. It's been a long time indeed. Are you participating in the poetry contest too?"

Paimon nodded: "Well, that's right. We went to find Gu Xin for this purpose. Although Gu Xin is a bit of a show-off."

Gu Xin: "Hey, there's no need to say this."

You Yeli: "So that's the case, then it's understandable. I thought you were going to practice crazy again."

Gu Xin rolled his eyes: "Okay, okay, after the Summoning King Competition incident, didn't I already start practicing a combination of work and rest?"

You Yeli crossed his arms and said, "That's not possible."

Ying: "It sounds like Gu Xin, you are making everyone in Tianji Pavilion very worried."

Paimon: "Yes, you still need to practice properly. Although Ying can also practice, it doesn't take a long time every time."

Gu Xin was a little helpless: "As I said, I have started to practice combining work and rest. But thank you for your concern."

After the four of them chatted for a while, Ying and Paimeng said goodbye to Gu Xin and You Yeli for the time being, and went to chat with other friends they saw and reminisce about old times.

Seeing Ying and Paimeng leaving, Gu Xin looked at You Yeli: "So, is the time I have been practicing really considered long?"

You Yeli shrugged: "You have to ask Han and Idas about this. After all, they think that Gu Xin has been practicing for a long time. My specific task is to drag you out when Han and Idas can't. , use some means to get you out."

Gu Xin: "...Is this why you, You Yeli, used talismans to blow me up?! Come on, let's have a good fight."

You Yeli: "Gu Xin, you are avenging your private revenge!"

Gu Xin: "Hmph! What happened to public revenge? I'm happy with it!"

You Yeli: "......Gan! I'm really convinced!"

After the daily quarrel-like quarrel ended, Gu Xin and You Yeli sat on chairs, drank drinks, and chatted again, not at all like they had almost gotten into a fight just now.

You Yeli: "Speaking of which, where are Hutao and Wendy? I remember they are the hosts."

Gu Xin: "The two of them, when they were discussing the opening poem when they appeared, they said they would come back later. But now that we calculate the time, it should be coming soon."

After saying this, Gu Xin suddenly used his killing aura to sense that Walnut's Wendy was nearby and ready.

Before Gu Xin could remind You Yeli, a strong wind suddenly blew by, causing everyone to close their eyes.

When everyone opened their eyes, they saw that Wendy and Hutao had come to the host stage while everyone closed their eyes.

Wendy plucked the strings and took the lead in speaking the opening poem: "The wind holds the poems and notes and floats to a strange country."

Walnut also followed closely: "There are two fish under the water, and they have a full belly."

Wendy: "The wind crystal butterfly is covered in golden clothes, and the little lamp inside the glass is bright."

Hutao: "The bird snatched away the rice, and the forest pig was so anxious that it jumped to the ground."

At the same time, You Yeli started to complain in confusion: "Is this opening poem really irrelevant?"

Gu Xin: "Since it is jointly organized by the two countries, the opening poem must also be compiled with the characteristics of the two countries. It is normal."

You Yeli nodded: "Yeah, that seems right."
