Genshin Impact: Return of the Water Queen

These two people...are they really thousands of years old?

Finnina sighed, thinking back to all the thousand-year-old creatures she had seen in recent times.

Forget it, don’t think about it. They seemed a little normal except for the meeting last night. Otherwise, they were not normal at all. They even looked more like children than her most of the time.

"If Miss Fukaros wants to watch it, maybe you'll have a chance when we return to Liyue Harbor this time." Zhongli looked at Fukaros and said to her slowly, "Of course, if your mother were to choose, it would probably be the beast dance show at the Opikle Opera House..."

Obviously, Luo Chaya's ability to poach people has been firmly remembered by Zhongli.

After hearing Zhongli's words, Fucaros felt a little embarrassed.

"Beast dance has only become popular in Liyue recently. But... although it has just begun to sprout, it will take time to perform it well." Zhongli continued to cooperate with everyone's plan and said to Ye De.

After hearing this, Ye De lowered his head and remained silent.

"If you ask me, the most valuable thing is the spirit of facing challenges head-on."

Zhongli noticed Ye De's situation and continued to say to him: "Several of my tea friends have mentioned that Jiaming is enthusiastic and chivalrous... Uncle Ye should be very pleased to have such a talented and virtuous child!"

After Zhongli finished speaking, Ye De lowered his head, sighed, and nodded: "He... is working very hard."

"Uh..."

Hearing Zhongli calling Ye De "Uncle Ye", both Ying and Paimon showed shocked and speechless expressions. Even Fucaros who was sitting next to them didn't know how to react.

Luo Chaya shook her head and said, "How dare you say that..."

As she spoke, she reached out and touched Xianyun again, saying, "Hey, now Jiaming's generation is the same as yours."

Xianyun was speechless and didn't want to pay attention to Luo Chaya.

"Pay attention to me?" Luo Chaya then poked Xianyun.

Xianyun moved to the side and said to Shen He, "Shen He, behave well later."

"Yes, Master, don't worry!" Shen He nodded seriously, indicating that he would definitely perform well.

"Hey, are you paying attention to me?" Luo Chaya continued to poke Xianyun.

Xianyun moved to the side "unnoticeably".

Luo Chaya: “…”

She saw it! What are you moving?

Paimeng had already urged Ye De to praise him in front of Jia Ming, but Ye De was a little embarrassed. Zhongli continued, "If Uncle Ye is not convenient to speak, we can also convey it on his behalf if there is anything."

"How can this be done... This is not appropriate!" Ye De subconsciously rejected Zhongli's proposal.

Several people's eyes fell on Ye De. Ye De sighed helplessly and explained to everyone what happened between him and Jia Ming.

Ye De is a tea merchant, and he always hopes that Jia Ming can follow him in the tea business, so that he can give advice and help Jia Ming. However, Jia Ming likes escorting, and does not like the future that Ye De has arranged for him, which leads to a rift between the father and son.

"Alas... I heard that he is escorting more and more smoothly and going further and further. I am both happy and worried. When we are young, who is not strong and can eat three bowls of rice in one breath? But what will we do when we are old?"

Ye De sighed and said to everyone: "Every time I think of this, I feel that Jiaming should listen to me! He should just follow me and do some tea business. It's not tiring and he can support himself. Alas, after all, I am also an incompetent father..."

"Uncle Ye, don't worry about this." Zhong Li comforted Ye De who was frowning, and said slowly: "Parents want to pave the way for the younger generation and hope that their children's future will be safe and smooth. This is normal, and anyone can understand this."

Hearing this, Ye De was a little surprised. He looked at Zhongli and said, "Mr. Zhongli looks young, but he has such experience? Could it be... I misjudged Mr. Zhongli's age?"

After Ye De asked this question, the people watching the show were stunned for a moment, and then they all looked at Zhongli.

Zhongli looked relaxed, and he continued, "Uncle Ye, you are too polite! I have a friend whose daughters are already independent. She is different from you. Instead of worrying about her children, she is more willing to let them go and make their own way."

Ye De sighed and said, "Ah, she is really open-minded. I am afraid I am not open-minded enough."

Fukaros quietly approached Ying and Paimon and asked in a low voice, "Hey, is the friend that Mr. Zhongli was talking about Senior Xianyun?"

Ying blinked, then nodded and said: "She should be the only one who fits Zhongli's description..."

Paimeng shook his head and said, "No, no, have you forgotten Luo Chaya? She also has many children! They have all gone out to make their own way!"

"Oh! Yes, and Lady Egolia, I almost forgot." Fucaros scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

The voices were so low that Ye De couldn't hear them, but Zhongli and the people hiding in the dark could hear them very clearly.

Xianyun turned around and looked at Luo Chaya and said, "Hey, your daughter."

Luo Chaya: “…”

It’s not over yet! She just said one sentence!

Zhongli then comforted Ye De, saying, "Uncle Ye, there is no need to worry so much. One day, you and Jiaming will be able to understand each other."

"By the way...I was just wanting to say that Brother Zhongli, you don't have to be so polite. If you like, you can just call me Brother Ye." After hearing Zhongli's address to him, Ye De hurriedly said to him.

Ye De has been in Yilong Port all year round and seldom comes to Liyue Harbor. He doesn't know much about the Hall of Rebirth and naturally doesn't know Zhongli's identity. But after doing business for so many years, he still has the ability to identify people.

Although we don’t know Zhongli’s true identity, his noble aura cannot be faked.

Zhongli also nodded and said, "Okay."

At this point, the three people sitting nearby were stunned.

Xianyun was also speechless.

Ye De continued to say to Zhongli: "Brother Zhongli, how do you think I should get along with Jiaming?"

"When it's time to let go, you should let go. Parents should treat their children as a haven, not a bondage." Zhongli expressed his opinion to Ye De, "Just like a kite moves with the wind, it is not appropriate to pull the string too tight."

"I am indeed too conservative." Ye De shook his head secretly.

Zhongli comforted him, "Family love cannot be called pedantic. Brother Ye, all you need to do is relax a little and trust your child. Maybe in the blink of an eye, the child will give Brother Ye a surprise."

"In the blink of an eye? Not that fast..." Ye De smiled helplessly.

Zhongli said: "One day, one year, or just one moment. The growth of the younger generation always happens inadvertently. Brother Ye, as a father, understands this best."
