20 Chapter 20
Situated on the border between Liyue and Mondstadt, all visitors who enter Liyue from Mondstadt are immediately attracted by the inn that sits on a vast plain and is surrounded by giant trees.
The leaves of the big tree that leaned on each other from the inn were different from other places, and although the leaves were the usual yellow, they were smooth and transparent, with a luster that had been impregnated with rock elements. When Yun Mubai first arrived at Wangshu Inn, he was attracted by the beautiful color, and couldn't help but observe it carefully, and naturally found the cat greasy on the side of Zhongli's neck for the first time.
Holding the blade in the palm of his hand, Yun Mubai looked up at Zhongli with a calm expression, and then pretended to be annoyed, "I forgot, Mr. Zhongli is a native of Liyue, and I want to come to Wangshu Inn as a frequent place for you, so I don't need to share it with me as a Fontaine visitor." ”
Zhongli lowered his eyes, watching the sunlight shine through the leaves on Yun Mubai's white palm, and through the elemental vision, the faint rock element particles on the leaves were like gold dust sprinkled on the palm of the young man, shiny and shiny, and it was very beautiful.
"No, visiting Liyue with different people has different interests. ...... with friends It's different from you. Zhongli withdrew his gaze and stared at the young man's black eyes with concern.
What a hateful old fox!
Yun Mubai gritted his back molars and looked unmoved, as if he hadn't realized why he was staying in Liyue Harbor with a leaf from the Wangshu Inn, and he didn't realize that his whereabouts were completely exposed by a leaf.
"Hmph, that's a good thank you to Mr. Zhongli for excluding me from my friends."
“…… What, the atmosphere, something weird? Paimon floated in mid-air, rubbing his arms and carefully tugging at the empty earrings, but his gaze did not take off Yun Mubai's body.
"Probably Mr. Zhongli also wants to go to Wangshu Inn alone with Yun Mubai." Sora carefully pulled his earrings from under Paimon's hand, "But it's not early today, and it's going to be dark for another run." ”
"Then Mr. Zhongli should be with us."
"Yes, that's right." Realizing that Paimon didn't seem to understand the meaning of the two words alone, and that Sora didn't explain his thoughts, he glanced up at the sky and walked over.
"It's not too early...... "Sora stubbornly walked over to the two of them.
"Click." Hearing the sudden sound of the air, Yun Mubai suddenly clenched his palm, and the blade shattered under the force of his palm, making a crisp breaking sound.
“…… What is it? Kong's hearing was not bad, and when he heard that Yun Mubai seemed to have broken something, he subconsciously asked.
"It's leaves, I didn't expect Liyue's leaves to be much drier than Fontaine's, strange, they're new leaves." Yun Mu replied without changing his face.
"This is because of the difference between the two places due to the different environmental climate and elemental forces." Zhongli explained in a calm tone, "You have also passed by Guiliyuan, where the overall hue is the yellow of the rock element, precisely for the same reason. ”
"Oh, I heard Mr. Zhongli talk a lot about it again." Paimon scratched his hair and flew over with Sora, spreading his hands, "No wonder I encountered a lot of rock slimes on the road, but it's hard to fight!" Even Shenhe's spear can only be sharpened slowly. ”
"Rock Slime? Indeed, although there is no difficulty, it is generally rational that his protective shell is a little troublesome. ”
When Paimon mentioned it, Shenhe just glanced up at Paimon, and then cleared his mind and looked coldly into the distance.
"It's not too early, Mr. Zhongli, please tell us what the arrangements will be in the future." Sora was ultimately responsible for bringing the topic back.
"It's a traveler, and he's really a serious and focused person." Zhongli nodded, "Then please come with me, I've already negotiated with the merchant." ”
"What is it, what is it?" Paimon asked curiously.
"It's a neon flower, but it's not a common variety, but a few that are used exclusively to make a balm for worship." Zhongli explained in great detail, detailing the history and various precious varieties of neon flowers, and led everyone all the way to the most prosperous docks in Liyue Harbor.
Walking through the streets of Liyue, Sora noticed Yun Mubai, who suddenly seemed very silent, and turned his head to look at Mr. Zhongli, who seemed to be as usual, but inexplicably felt that Zhongli must be in a very happy mood at this time.
Is it something that just happened?
What happened?!
Yun Mubai also wanted to know what was going on, and wanted to know what he was just doing!
Holding the evidence of Zhongli's small movements, he should have held this handle and used it as a threat to force Zhongli to tell his secret.
But after Sora suddenly appeared, why did he subconsciously help him hide this mistake?
Why?!
Yun Mubai reflected on himself, his footsteps slowly fell to the back of the team, and his gaze stayed uncontrollably on Zhongli's back.
Zhongli was thin and had a calm and gentle temperament, his long hair was tied low by a diamond-shaped hair ornament, and his supple ponytail with gradient colors hung down from the Vision he wore around his waist. With a slender waist and slender limbs, Zhongli looked polite and polite, and he couldn't fight at all.
…… Ah, I see.
Yun Mubai suddenly realized, thinking of the ruthlessness and decisiveness of Shenhe and the Traveler, if they realized that they were being followed by Zhongli, they might have done it directly.
Zhongli might not be afraid if he was an immortal, but if the three of them fought, they would definitely attract the attention of the Seven Stars and the Fatui; If Zhongli wasn't an immortal......
I guess I saved your life.
Yun Mubai persuaded himself and finally regained his spirits. Then he realized that only he and Zhongli were left in the original team of four people and one pet at this time.
What's going on?
"Came to your senses?" Zhongli looked at Yun Mubai, who was suddenly stunned, "But what have you figured out?" ”
Looking at Zhongli's good-looking eyes, Yun Mubai was in a trance for a moment, and after forcing himself to calm down, Yun Mubai calmly explained, "I'm just thinking about the strange attitude of the immortal I saw today." ”
"Oh? The Great Sage of Demon Suppression has always lived alone, so it should not be strange to get along with people nervously. ”
"......" someone who doesn't want to hide his abnormality at all!
Yun Mubai raised his head, glared at Zhongli, and quickly changed the subject, "Forget about the Traveler and Paimon, why isn't that Immortal Disciple here?" ”
Wasn't he ordered to protect me?
What about people now?
"Even though the right ingredients have been purchased, there is still a need to make the flower into a balm, so it is natural for the traveler to look for someone who can make the balm. Liyue balm is mostly used by women, so it was naturally fitting for the Immortal Family disciple to go with her. ”
Yun Mubai thought about Shenhe's temperament as if he was shrouded in ice and snow, and then thought of the neatness with which the other party entered the hilichurl camp, and then looked at Zhongli's eyes full of suspicion.
A disciple of the Immortal Family like Shenhe doesn't look like an ordinary woman who will be contaminated with the fragrance of mortal dust powder, so it won't help her to go.
"Say it, Mr. Zhongli." Yun Mubai stopped, serious and serious, "What do you want to tell me when you split them?" ”
Do you confess the purpose of following us to the Wangshu Inn? Pull me in?
It can't be for the sake of the ancestors' law transformation, Zhong Li, who is obviously a guest of the Death Hall, is the person who knows the latest situation of the ancestors' law transformation best except for the seven stars.
"Ah, here it is." Zhongli raised his head and looked at the huge plaque on the main street, on which the words "Feiyun Chamber of Commerce" were clearly inscribed.
"This is the largest fabric merchant under the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, and the day before yesterday, I and the traveler have already ordered the fabric, so you can choose it when you come."
Yun Mubai subconsciously followed Zhongli into the store, and at this time, a young man with a delicate face and a short sword at his waist greeted him.
"Mr. Zhongli, we have prepared the fabric you ordered yesterday, please take a look." The boy arched his hand towards Zhongli and raised his hand to lead the group to the west compartment of the shop, and then he pushed the door open.
The splendor is full of brilliance.
Yun Mubai's eyes widened, looking at the room filled with red cloth of different shades and shades.
This is...... Wedding dress!
