Genshin Impact: Return of the Water Queen

"That makes sense!" Ye De said with emotion.

As they were chatting, Jiaming came back alone from a distance. Paimeng waved to him quickly: "Jiaming, here, here!"

"Dad! Are you all right?" Jiaming came over here at a trot. When he saw Zhongli sitting next to him, he was very surprised: "And Mr. Zhongli from the Wangsheng Hall? Why are you here too?"

"It's fate that we met by chance, so we sat down and chatted for a while." Zhongli said to Jiaming.

Jiaming, who didn't realize that his generation had inadvertently increased several times, nodded in confusion.

Ye De looked at him and asked, "Is everything resolved?"

After hearing what Ye De said, Fucaros and Ying looked at each other, wanting to know what Ye De meant by "solve".

"Well...sort of." After thinking for a moment, Jiaming nodded, then looked at Ying and Paimeng and said, "Traveler, Paimeng, I have something to tell you, can you come over?"

Ying blinked and looked at Fucaros. Fucaros looked as if it had nothing to do with her, indicating that the matter had nothing to do with her and she was just a spectator.

Ying had no choice but to get up and take Paimeng and Jiaming to another place.

"Just tell me the truth. Those two robbers are your people, right?" Jiaming turned his head and looked at Ying and Paimeng.

"Eh? You ask this question right away?" Paimeng looked at Jiaming in disbelief.

Seeing Paimeng's big reaction, Jiaming laughed and said, "It seems that I guessed right."

Paimon scratched his head awkwardly and nodded: "Okay... they are indeed the people we arranged, but how did you find out?"

Jiaming sighed helplessly and explained to the two of them how he discovered the details of Jie Hu and Hou Zhang.

Xianyun, who was hiding in the dark, had already lowered his head and was rubbing his temple helplessly.

Luo Chaya shook her head and said, "Honestly, Wendy wouldn't even want their acting skills, even if they were given to her."

"If he doesn't want money, I think the God of Wind will still want it." Finina added, seeing through Wendy.

Luo Chaya gave Funina a thumbs up. As expected of her daughter, she had already understood the personalities of the Seven Rulers of the World very well!

On the other side, Jiaming continued to say to Ying and Paimeng: "I know you want to ease the relationship between me and my father, but our relationship has not been like this for a day or two, and it is difficult to ease it."

"I think it's okay. Zhongli was almost able to successfully persuade Uncle Ye just now!" Paimeng said to Jiaming.

Jiaming shook his head and said, "That's impossible. I know my dad's character best. No matter who tries to persuade him, he won't easily say anything to me in the end."

Ying stared at Jiaming and suddenly said, "You and your father have similar personalities. He doesn't say much to you, and you won't say much to him either. But have you ever thought that maybe it's because you don't communicate that your relationship is so cold?"

"But...even if I tell him, it will be useless, right?" Jiaming lowered his head.

"You won't know if it works until you try it! How can it succeed just by thinking about it?" Paimon retorted.

"This..." Jiaming looked at Paimeng, then at Ying, and finally sighed and said, "Okay, I'll try my best..."

While Jiaming and Ying were communicating privately with Paimeng, Zhongli had already become a close friend of Ye De regardless of age difference. Ye De admired Zhongli's talent, and Zhongli also found that his conversations with Ye De were quite interesting and witty.

Only Fucaros had somewhat relaxed himself.

She didn't know much about tea, almost nothing. Listening to Zhongli and Ye De talking about the essentials of tea tasting and the Liyue culture gathered in the tea ceremony, she stopped thinking.

After seeing Jiaming and the others coming back, Zhongli also stood up and said to Ye De: "Brother Ye, I think we should stop here today. It's very pleasant to chat with you, but unfortunately I still have some work entrusted by the hall master to complete."

"Oh, why didn't you say this earlier?" Ye De stood up and said with some self-blame, "It's my fault for dragging you down for so long. Brother Zhongli, you go about your business. I'll treat you to morning tea another day when it's convenient for you."

Zhongli smiled and nodded, "Definitely."

When Luo Chaya looks at Zhongli's smile, she always feels like "it's time for dinner again, brothers."

It must be her illusion...

Ying quickly glanced at Fukaros, who came to his senses and quickly stood up and followed him, shouting, "Mr. Zhongli, take care. I'll see you off!"

The three of them quickly followed Zhongli out and left the place to Ye De and Jia Ming, father and son.

Xianyun said to Shenhe, "Shenhe, it's our turn! Let's go!"

After watching Xianyun and Shenhe leave, Luo Chaya quickly called out to Funina, "Quick, quick, take out the camera."

Funina also quickly took out the camera from her bag and set it up.

At this moment, Zhongli and others walked behind them. Fukaros stepped forward, patted Luochaya on the shoulder, and shouted, "Lady Egolia!"

"Who is it? I'm busy." Luo Chaya said without turning her head while adjusting the camera.

Fukalos: "..."

Zhongli at the side said slowly: "Lady Egolia is very busy, it seems that she will not pay attention to us."

After hearing this, Luo Chaya was stunned for a moment, her back straightened instantly, and she looked back.

What caught my eye was Zhongli’s serious smile.

Luo Chaya was silent for a moment, then asked, "...Have you heard my story?"

Zhongli shook his head and said, "Your face is full of stories."

"Don't come here!" Luo Chaya stood up, looked at him and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Of course, I'm here to see where the plot is going next." Zhongli said to Luo Chaya seriously.

"Where is the plot going?" Luo Chaya looked at Zhongli strangely, frowned and asked him: "Don't you still have work arranged by Hu Tao for you? How come you are so free?"

Zhongli smiled softly and said, "Thanks to Lady Gloria, after Hall Master Hu learned that I was an immortal, he arranged more work for me than usual."

"Then when we came back that day, we saw you still drinking tea and slacking off at Sanwan Buguogang?" Luo Chaya frowned, her expression a little unsettled.

"Take some time out of your busy schedule to taste tea. This way, the tea you drink will have a more mellow flavor." Zhongli said to Luo Chaya seriously.

Luo Chaya then asked: "So you still want to be lazy now?"

Zhongli shook his head and said, "Of course not. I have asked Xiao to help with today's work."

Luo Chaya gave Zhongli a thumbs up and said, "You are the best."

Zhongli said: "Same here."
