122. After the fact
"Still no, I don't have any thoughts about this for the time being."
Lin Chen declined Beidou.
"It's okay, if you want to join in the future, you can come to me at any time."
Beidou smiled heartily.
"Let's go eat first, let's go to my house, I haven't eaten all day today."
Xiangling put down the fat pot, and then touched her little belly and licked her little tongue.
The pot also jumped up, patting the bear's paws and looking cute: "Lu~ Lulu......"
"That's right, then go to Wanmin Hall for dinner, and by the way, go to see if Uncle Mao has come back."
Lin Chen nodded.
Master Mao also evacuated to villages outside Liyue with the rest of the people, so it is estimated that he should have received the news at this time.
The crowd soon came to the Hall of the People.
Because they all fled for their lives in a hurry, Liyue is now full of baggage, some clothes and shoes that have fallen behind, and so on.
"Ouch, my daughter doesn't know where she went, why hasn't she come back yet......"
Master Mao walked back and forth in front of the door, and said restlessly.
"Dad! I am back! ”
"Purr!"
As soon as Master Mao turned around, he ran forward in surprise, touching Xiangling's ball head and the bare skull of the pot.
"Girl, and Guoba, you're finally back!"
"Mm-hmm, I've brought my friends over for dinner."
"Okay, whatever you want to eat, Dad will do it for you!"
"I want to eat stir-fried pork slices, buckle three threads ......"
"No problem!"
"Luo, Lu......"
……
Looking at the warm conversation between the father and daughter and the pot, the others were very conscious and did not disturb.
Find a clean spot and sit down one by one.
Shenhe looked at Lin Chen.
Lin Chen comprehended, "Don't worry, I'll ask Master Mao to help with the glass lilies and pure hearts later." ”
Not long after, Xiangling and Guoba came back from ordering.
"I don't know what you like to eat, but I asked Daddy to make some of Liyue's usual dishes, if there is anything else you want to eat, please order it!"
Xiangling grinned.
"It's okay, we're not picky eaters."
As soon as Lin Chen finished speaking, he felt the gaze from Shenhe.
"Ahem, you still have to ask Uncle Mao to add a Qingxin and glass lily, no need to process, just serve it directly."
"Okay."
Although he didn't understand why Lin Chen ate these two medicinal herbs, Xiangling still patted the pot on the head very intimately and asked him to remind Master Mao.
After the food was served, soon, several people were full of food and drink, and they became familiar with each other.
The main thing is to know Beidou and Shenhe.
These two men are still new faces.
However, after eating the last glass lily petal, Shenhe got up and said, "It's not too early, there is such a big thing happening in Liyue, I want to inform the master first...... Thank you very much for taking care of you, especially you, Lin Chen. ”
Lin Chen scratched his head, feeling a little reluctant in his heart.
However, he also knew that Shenhe's temperament was not suitable for staying in the world, so he said goodbye with a smile, "Be careful on the road, you can come to me at any time if you have something." ”
"Hmm."
Shenhe and the others nodded, then turned around and quickly disappeared in place.
"This girl is a strange person, but unfortunately she doesn't plan to join us like you."
Beidou shook his head regretfully.
I also ate the meal, and there were quite a lot of things on Beidou's side, so I chatted with Paimon and Ying for a while and left.
It was not suitable for Lin Chen and the others to stay in Wanmin Hall, and they were ready to go back after saying goodbye to Xiangling Guoba.
Just as he was about to leave, a Millelith army came over.
"Wait Mr. Lin Chen, Lord Ningguang is invited."
Millelith hurriedly said, "Lord Ningguang, please go to the Moon Sea Pavilion to talk about it. ”
Lin Chen stopped.
Paimon looked at Lin Chen suspiciously, "What did you do when you left us, why did Ningguang look for you?" ”
It stands to reason that the Demon God of the Vortex has just been defeated, and order in Liyue needs to be maintained, as well as a lot of trivial matters that need to be dealt with by Condensation.
How could it be possible to suddenly want to see Lin Chen at this juncture.
Paimon is a fool, but he's not really stupid.
There's no reason why you can't think of this kind of reasoning when you think about it.
"Hehe, what's this...... Maybe Ganyu was too busy over there, so let me help out. ”
Lin Chen grabbed Wang Xiaomei to block the gun.
"Is that really the case?"
Paimon's small hand rests on his chin, and his cute eyes reveal distrust.
"Ahem, ahem...... Of course it's true, how could I have lied to you. ”
Lin Chen hurriedly said, "Okay, you and Ying go back first, I'll go take a look first, and I'll be back soon." ”
Although Paimon was curious and wanted to follow along, he also knew that Ningguang didn't invite him, so he seemed very uninteresting to get together.
So I could only purse my mouth and cross my waist, "Then you come back early, otherwise Yingke and I will lock you out and won't let you in." ”
Ying just smiled, didn't agree, and didn't say no.
"Okay, okay, I'll go back as soon as I'm done."
Lin Chen immediately urged the Millelith Army to take the lead and leave.
Come to the Moon Sea Pavilion.
Ningguang was clasping his arms at the door, smiling like a spring breeze.
On the side, Keqing, who had recovered from his injuries, and Ganyu also walked over.
"What are you?"
Lin Chen was puzzled.
Ningguang smiled lightly, then blessed slightly, "First of all, let me thank you on behalf of Liyue, if it weren't for you, Liyue would probably have suffered. ”
"Thank you, thank you for saving me......"
Keqing said a little awkwardly.
Ganyu also smiled and nodded, her gentle face full of approval.
Lin Chen hurriedly waved his hand, "Actually, it's not my credit, if it weren't for the Jade Pavilion, I wouldn't be able to seal the Vortex Demon God so smoothly." ”
Of course, he also said in his heart that he would like to thank Zhongli for that old fellow.
"Either way, it's an indisputable fact that you saved Liyue."
With Ning Guang's cleverness, when he saw the rock spear in Lin Chen's hand and the familiar power of the emperor, he was already convinced that the rock king emperor had not really fallen.
She took it for granted that Lin Chen was the spokesperson of the emperor.
On the other hand, when he took over Liyue's power from the Liyue Seven Stars, the Emperor did not let Lin Chen intervene.
This shows that the Emperor also acquiesced to Liyue's Seven Stars.
Therefore, Ningguang didn't have a little burden, and he invited Lin Chen over just to thank him.
"Even if you save my life this time, you can find me for anything in the future."
Having said that, Keqing is not so arrogant.
She also knows how to repay her kindness, and her attitude towards Lin Chen has also improved a lot.
Lin Chen smiled helplessly.
He didn't think too much about it at the time, but he just felt that Ningguang and Keqing were in danger, so he went to Guyun Pavilion to find out.
It just happened to happen, but it didn't actually do anything.
However, he was not puzzled, and retorted Keqing, just nodded with a smile, "Okay, I know." ”
Keqing's words reminded him of Eula, Mondstadt.
Eula is also this kind of arrogant and awkward character.
"Speaking of which, Lin Chen, is that Shenhe girl beside you an immortal in the Peerless Clouds?"
At this moment, Ningguang suddenly asked.
