Genshin Impact: I was sent away by Yaksha at the beginning

Chapter 16: Zhongli, the Guest of the Hall of Rebirth

Ling Mengxue, who could not resist the stare of Wendy, finally had no choice but to go to Liyue Harbor to find wine for him. Since he was a wandering bard, she would definitely be able to learn a lot about the continent of Teyvat from him. She still had a lot of things she wanted to ask, and even listening to a story would be a very good experience. However, when she hurried back to Dihuazhou from Liyue Harbor, there was no trace of Wendy.

It was strange, he seemed to be very fond of wine, why would he leave without saying goodbye? However, Ling Mengxue soon guessed the reason, she actually saw Hu Tao here! And there was a nobleman who looked very unusual beside Hu Tao.

Although she wore orange-red eyeshadow, had a Danxia gradient hairstyle, long flowing hair, a single earring, a willow-like waist, and the hem of her clothes was inlaid with dragon scales, she looked like a steady and noble person.

"Hi, I always see Xiaoxue at night." Hu Tao happily greeted Ling Mengxue.

"Hey, you actually brought a bottle of good wine. Did something unhappy happen and you plan to get drunk alone?" Hu Tao saw the wine in Ling Mengxue's hand at a glance.

"Hiss... Such a strong smell of alcohol. That poet was here just now, that drunkard poet who has nothing to do with elegance! You... um..." The nobleman next to Hu Tao frowned and suddenly spoke, "Sorry, I couldn't help it when I smelled the alcohol. My name is Zhongli, and I'm a guest at Wangsheng Hall. Fortunately, you didn't let that drunkard poet trick you into drinking, otherwise I would have to prepare some sobering soup."

"Hehe, yes, Mr. Zhongli is a guest of our Health Hall. He was just leaving and he suddenly said he wanted to come here to take a look. I didn't expect Xiaoxue to be here~ We are really destined to be together." Hu Tao was very happy to see Ling Mengxue. If Zhongli hadn't been around today, she would have scared the white-haired boy. The way he was scared by Qiqi last time was so cute!

"Well, although I have missed Mr. Yun's show at this time, there are still many good places to go in Liyue at night." Zhongli pondered for a moment and said, "Hu Tao told me that you are not from Liyue. I heard that you are here to participate in the Summoning Immortal Ceremony. Liyue will be very lively at that time. Where do you want to go next? If you want to travel to Liyue's scenic spots, I have some good reference plans."

"Xiaoxue, don't be polite with him. Don't look at his appearance. He is the person who is most familiar with Liyue. If you want to travel around Liyue, you must listen to Mr. Zhongli's opinion. I guarantee you will be satisfied." Hu Tao rarely praised someone.

Ling Mengxue looked at Zhongli in front of her, thinking that he must be an extraordinary person, but now it was late at night, and the night always made people feel very dangerous. After thinking about it, she decided to go back to the inn honestly. The drunkard poet actually left her and ran away. Alas, it was a pity that she couldn't get more information. But since Hu Tao said so, she decided to ask this gentleman named Zhongli what good places there are in Liyue during the day.

"The Nine Pillars of Jingshi at Cuijuepo that we visited last time is also a famous tourist attraction. If you are scared, you can go there during the day and take a look." Hu Tao said with a smile.

"Cui Jue Slope..." Thinking of what happened last time, Ling Mengxue couldn't help but feel ashamed. It was indeed a bit embarrassing last time. The two little girls probably thought that she was scared by the ghost story. Alas, her own image.

"In fact, there is a good place near Liyue Harbor. The scenery of Tianheng Mountain is very nice. If this friend is interested, he can start his tour from Tianheng Mountain." Zhongli saw Ling Mengxue's hesitation. This young man was probably a little worried because he was not familiar with Liyue. So it would be a good idea to recommend him to some good places near Liyue Harbor.

"Tianheng Mountain?" Ling Mengxue opened the map and found that it was indeed very close to Liyue Harbor. This was a very good suggestion.

"This wine is a gift to Mr. Zhongli. By the way, do you know a boy named Xiao?" Ling Mengxue just remembered that she hadn't given Xiao the almond tofu today. This was a disaster. She actually forgot about it while listening to Wendy's flute.

"You said that the young immortal from Guiliyuan...ah...to this day, he is still fulfilling his duties...Oh, please bring this "Lianli Zhenxin Powder" to him for me. By the way, you must not let others steal it, the medicinal power here...is definitely not something that ordinary people can bear." Zhongli obviously knew Xiao and had a close relationship with him. But he was not as secretive as Hu Tao, and he naturally asked Ling Mengxue to bring something to Xiao.

"No problem, I will definitely bring you here. It's a bit rushed as this is our first meeting, so I will definitely ask Mr. Zhongli for advice when I have time in the future." When Ling Mengxue thought of Xiao's horrible cold face when he couldn't wait for Almond Tofu, she wanted to run away immediately.

"It's already this time. The market has closed and the noisy dock has fallen asleep. Go and get some rest." Zhongli also saw his anxiety and did not stop him from leaving.

Ling Mengxue offered the good wine in her hand, said goodbye to Zhongli and Hutao, and immediately rushed to Wangshu Inn without looking back. She wanted to take a gamble, Xiao should still be waiting for her on the roof of the inn.

Zhongli looked thoughtful as he watched the white-haired boy go away. Hu Tao jumped in front of him. "Sir, you suddenly came here just to see this boy? How is he? Is there anything special about this boy?"

"Well, there is a feeling of familiarity that I can't explain, but I have never met him in my memory, which makes me a little concerned."

"Hmm? I'm afraid your memory is wrong. This young man has a different temperament that I can't describe, but I can be sure that if I really meet him, I will not forget him!" Hu Tao became serious rarely.

"I hope it's my illusion, let's go." Zhongli called Hu Tao away. He had originally smelled the familiar smell of dandelion wine brought by the wind, and wanted to meet this old friend, but he didn't expect him to run away like this, and then he met the white-haired boy mentioned by Hu Tao. He did have a familiar smell, but his temperament and aura were far from the person in his memory. Maybe it was because this boy had too much contact with Xiao recently, and he was a little sensitive, that's all.

On this side, Ling Mengxue ran all the way back to the rooftop of Wangshu Inn. Sure enough, Xiao was still there. She breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao didn't seem angry, but she didn't know how long he had been waiting for her here.

"Where's my almond tofu for today?" Xiao stretched out his hand without any hesitation.

"! It will be ready soon." Just in case, Ling Mengxue had already prepared several portions and frozen them in the ice mist flower refrigerator she made. They would be ready immediately as long as they were removed from the mold and poured with osmanthus wine.

A minute later, Xiao satisfiedly accepted the almond tofu Ling Mengxue had prepared for him, as well as the "Lianli Zhenxin Powder" that Zhongli had entrusted her to give him.

"Have you met that adult?" Xiao looked a little surprised, but then he thought, this young man can use the Emperor's spear skills, so it is not surprising that he has met the Emperor before.

"Well, I met Hu Tao and their guest from Wangsheng Hall in Dihuazhou tonight. He was a noble man with an elegant temperament." Ling Mengxue did not want to hide anything.

"By the way, Xiao, have you ever heard of the name Morax?" Ling Mengxue remembered that she had heard this name from the bard Wendy.

Xiao's expression became serious: "Morax? How much do you know about this name? He is the one who gave me the name "Xiao" and freed me from long-lasting pain. If you dare to disrespect him, I will not forgive you, even if it is you."

"Don't give me such a scary look. I just heard this name occasionally." Just by looking at Xiao's expression, you can tell that Morax must be the Geo Prince. How many people can Xiao value in this world?

"It's late. Go ahead, I'll wait for you here tomorrow at noon." Xiao didn't seem to want to talk about these things anymore. He disappeared after saying this.

It’s the same as always. Let’s go to Tianheng Mountain mentioned by Mr. Zhongli early tomorrow morning.
