Genshin Impact: Emperor

""Please take a look at the invitation letter. ""

Ying handed out the invitation letter sent by Thomas before.

"Let me see...the seal of the club, is it Mr. Thomas? It seems that the identities of the three are not simple."

The clerk returned the invitation letter and bowed to salute, "Then welcome to the Muleu Tea House, a small protected place in the society. My name is Shao, welcome to the three of you."

"It's almost there."

"The three of you, please."

The clerk stepped aside and took the initiative to lift the curtain for Zhongli and Ying.

Facing the tea room, there is a smell of clean tea. The lighting inside is warm, and the tea kettle for boiling water is quite eye-catching. The wooden spoon is placed on it, and the water vapor rises. There are tea bowls, beards, and flower arrangements at the front desk... The tranquility of the tea ceremony is already vivid. .

"Come on, where's Thomas? Where's that fellow Thomas?

There is no one at the front desk, so it is impossible to know whether there are people in each private room, but if you listen carefully, there seems to be no sound of people. The only thing that looks awkward at the front desk is the obedient Shiba Inu squatting at the front desk.

The Shiba Inu is wearing an open dress and a white hair band on his head, which looks quite funny.

"Didn't this fellow Thomas keep his promise?"

"Who said you didn't keep the promise, I still feel sad for you forgetting about me."

While Paimon and Ying were examining the Shiba Inu, suddenly Thomas' voice came, and it seemed to come from the Shiba Inu's body.

"What, what's going on? Did the dog talk?"

"Hahaha, nothing to be surprised about, this is the first time you've seen me like this, right?"

This time they focused and listened more carefully, and Ying and Paimon completely believed that Thomas' voice came from this Shiba Inu.

"々'Toma, are you a dog? Where is that humanoid Thomas? I'm a little surprised...but I'm not so surprised when I think that some of the immortals in Liyue can also transform themselves."

"Haha, you sure have seen something similar in Liyue."

Paimon stroked his chin and nodded again and again, "Well, I seem to understand it all at once."

"No, anyway, this is too doggy, isn't it?"

Ying still felt that something was wrong, "What does Mr. Zhongli think?"

"It's time to get out of the cubicle."

"Mr. Zhongli, let me play a joke with these two little guys again, how fun it is."

Under the angry eyes of Ying and Paimeng, Thomas opened the curtain and walked out from the compartment behind the front desk. He glanced at Zhongli resentfully, and then laughed out loud.

"This Shiba Inu is called Taro Maru, and he is the owner of Mule Tea House."

"Hey! Why are you like this!"

Pai (Wang Nuo's) glared at him dissatisfied, and Thomas spread his hands helplessly, "The waiting time for you is too long, from morning to dusk, so I have nothing to do to come up with this trick, just for entertainment. Please also allow me to apologize to you two, this is also about the various tests before, it is a necessary form.

Strange to say, with Mr. Zhongli here, the surveyors must not be able to embarrass you. I thought you would be able to reach Daozuma City the next morning, but it took a lot of time. Why? "

Paimon shrugged and said, "The old man is very good at entertaining people, and Miss Qianli is also very gentle, so I just stayed there for one night."

"The old man can entertain people? Are you kidding me? The eldest lady of the Ji family is gentle... Oh, I see."

Thomas glanced at Zhongli, covered his mouth and smiled lightly.

"That's right, then it's not surprising. n

Yingwei squinted her eyes, looking at Thomas who was having fun alone, "Hey, I always feel like you know something? Come and hear me!" Kuang.

Chapter 20 Behind the screen

"Let's talk about the test..."

"I don't want to hear about the test, I want to hear what else you know about Mr. Zhongli.

"Hmph, Paimon wants to give you an ugly nickname, let's call it Tuogou!"

Thomas, who was interrupted by Ying's voice, bit the bullet and continued. If he hadn't needed to follow the script, he would have quit immediately, really!

"...Because this determines whether I can bring you in front of Ms. Shenli, and determines whether we can become partners who dare to face Lei Guang together.

"Don't think that if you suddenly become serious, we will forgive you as if we didn't hear it!"

Paimon stared at him with his hands on his hips, Thomas scratched his head and smiled, "Aha, did you go too far? Sorry, sorry."

"Then what is the result of the test? The so-called partner who faces Lei Guang?

"You put yourself above those rules from the very beginning, right? Because your will never wavered, and you never gave in. A long time ago, we also knew such a partner, but after the lightning flashed... "

"You mean that friend of Manyo who died in the imperial duel..."

Thomas's eyes showed the melancholy of recollection, Ying guessed something, and asked aloud.

"Well, I didn't expect that even you have heard his story, it seems that his light is not weak at all.

"The light of Paimon's star cloak is not weak either."

Ying touched Paimeng who was shining brightly in front of her, Paimeng smiled and shrugged and said, "So can we go to see Linghua at 690?"

"Of course there is no problem. I will take you to the Shenli Mansion in the agency. But before that, there is still a place. I hope the two of you can visit it with me."

"Huh? Where?"

"As long as you live on Narugami Island, you can't ignore the huge monster under construction—a thousand hands and a hundred eyes."

"Oh, you said this, we went to see it with Mr. Zhongli before."

"...Okay, okay, I expected it a long time ago. Thousand hands and a hundred eyes are so conspicuous. It is impossible for foreigners who are new to Inazuma Castle not to be curious and want to go there. Although the statue is under the castle tower, it is often It is not easy for ordinary people to have the servants patrolled by Tianling, but with Mr. Zhongli around, it is naturally a breeze. M

Thomas spread his hands helplessly, "Fortunately, the time is just right now. When I go to the Shenli Mansion at this time, the eldest lady should be there, and it happens to host a banquet for you."

"Is it finally time to go!"

Paimon rubbed his little hands excitedly, and Ying was also a little excited, because finally he could see the famous Princess Egret!

Hmph, I want to see if this young lady of the Kamisato family deserves the title of "Princess Egret".

Leaving Inazuma Castle, the road back and forth is located at the foot of Yingxiang Mountain. The quiet and mysterious forest is the guarding forest.

There are civet cat stone statues that can be seen everywhere, scattered torii gates hidden in the forest, lost shrines hidden in the depths... everything is like a trickling stream, telling a long legend that flows through time.

I heard that walking in the guarded forest, sometimes you can encounter mysterious creatures that play tricks on people.

The agency's enforcement office is at the foot of Yingxiang Mountain.

"Mr Thomas, what is this?"

"Bring a few friends of the eldest lady to meet.

The servant guarding the door stepped back and bowed.

"Is this the house of Daozuma's big family? It's not as exaggerated as I imagined?

Passing through the gate, there is no imaginary tour-style garden, no magnificent castle tower, although the front yard is not small, but it is just a sight to see, there are cherry trees and trees, if you want to say, maybe it is indeed bigger than Liyue

The building is slightly more refined.

Liyue has a large layout, while Daofu is small and delicate.

Although there are quite a few servants on patrol, compared with Kan Ding Xing Xing, it seems to be the same.

"After all, I have seen Qunyu Pavilion, that floating palace. It is said that it cost one billion."

"Hey, really? Are you two joking?"

"Why lie to you, the structure is small, Thomas, don't stay in Daoqi all the time, and occasionally go to Liyue Port, the most prosperous place in Tivat, to broaden your horizons."

Paimon's earnest expression made Thomas laugh.

"I've only heard a little about that floating city. I heard that the bright-faced controller of Liyue, the star of heaven, owns the most prosperous mansion in Liyue and the most moras in the whole continent. I originally I also imagined that one day I would meet and visit a holy place, but I never expected that during the protracted battle between demons and gods, Qunyu Pavilion crashed into Yunlaihai as a weapon against gods."

"Yeah, what a pity, I was the one who caused the Qunyu Pavilion to crash that time."

Ying shook her head, her eyes dace nostalgic, the powerful power that several immortals concentrated and poured into the body at that time made Ying very fond of nostalgia.

Especially Grandma Ping's shock wave, it's really too strong!

Chatting all the way, walked through the front yard and veranda, and came to the reception room where the guests were received. Tomala opened the sliding door and let the three of them advance.

"Miss Shenli has been waiting for a long time, so I won't bother you. By the way, Mr. Zhongli, Miss, she doesn't know that you are here." Thomas blinked, as if hinting at something, and then closed the door.

Paimon and Ying looked at each other and understood what was going on.

"So it's a good show? Ying, don't mention Zhongli later.

"It's you, right? Paimon always likes to talk about Mr. Zhongli."

"Remember, Zhongli, don't speak out later."

Paimeng and Ying stared straight at him to suggest him, Zhongli smiled helplessly, patted their heads, and nodded.

r Hehehe...I think it will be fun. "

"Paimon just wants to play."

"Ying isn't the same."

After the three of them discussed, they stepped into the spacious living room. The high ceiling didn't look oppressive, but the room seemed empty, and there was only a screen across the front, blocking the view.

There is a long table in front of the screen, on which there are three camellias.

The fragrance of flowers is overflowing and refreshing.

The two walls are some landscape paintings.

"Where's the Ayaka I've been mentioning? Where is she?

Paimon made a sound in doubt, and then heard a soft cough coming from behind the screen.

"Cough...cough.""

It seems to remind them that people are behind the screen, and they don't want to treat people face to face.

"Is it behind the screen? Is this how the eldest lady treats guests?"

"Yes, this is a custom that has been practiced by the society for a hundred years. Please forgive me."

A voice as beautiful as a piece of music flows from behind the screen.

"It's understandable, the so-called listening to politics behind a curtain, right? But there is a feeling that expectations have failed."
