Genshin Impact short video: The death sentence at the start terrifies Fou.

Wendy: I ​​never expected that not only would Guest Elder Zhongli not want to offer me a drink, but he would also pretend not to know me. Sigh.

[Xingqiu: I always felt that, given Hu Tao's personality, even if she knew Mr. Zhongli's identity, she would still say the same thing.]

[Xiangling: Indeed]

Upon hearing this, Wendy began to praise Walnut.

"Oh? Hmm, no wonder."

"Only a smart and reliable boss like that can recruit subordinates who look very capable!"

Hu Tao chuckled, "Hehe, Wendy really knows how to talk!"

He then stood up and walked to Zhongli's side.

"My guest advisor is indeed remarkable. He is knowledgeable about astronomy and geography, and knows everything about the past and present."

Hu Tao paused for a moment, then continued.

"Sometimes, seeing how mature he sounds, I even wonder if he's some kind of immortal traveling incognito!"

[Tartaria: You didn't expect that, did you? He's actually the Rock King himself!]

[Ying: You didn't notice either, did you?]

Paimon: Exactly!

[Ye Lan: Actually, there are still many doubts. As a person, Mr. Zhongli is too perfect.]

Zhongli: Is that so?

Xiao lowered his head after hearing what Hu Tao said.

I stopped looking at those two gods.

Hu Tao walked up to him and asked him a question.

"Hey, Great Sage, you're an immortal, so tell me, is that even possible?"

"Uh...I..." Xiao lowered his head further and further.

"...I'm sorry, I'm only skilled in demon-slaying; my knowledge is limited, and I've never heard of..."

Paimon, oblivious to the atmosphere, interrupted.

"But Xiao, I think you're very cultured and know a lot..."

When Yingmei pinched her, she quickly changed her words.

"Xiao, he's a martial artist, he doesn't usually go into the city, so it's normal that he doesn't know these things..."

[Desia: I can already feel the pressure from Xiao. As a martial artist, it's best to have a clean and decisive fight. This kind of situation is really...]

[Araki Ichito: This old man gets a headache just looking at all these convoluted schemes]

[Funinga: It's alright, it's just some etiquette to show respect to elders]

[Sino: It's really unpleasant to want to say something but not be able to.]

[Tinari: Your situation is different, isn't it?]

Wendy feigned surprise and said that she had heard of Zhongli's reputation.

"I've heard the patrons in the tavern talking about a very polite young man. He went to the best tavern in Mondstadt but didn't drink any alcohol. Instead, he ordered a cup of hot tea with an awkward-sounding name."

Zhongli crossed his arms over his chest.

"...Now that you mention it, I do remember that Mondstadt seems to have such an artist."

"It is said that he was elegant and easy-going, and his works were lively and vivid. It would not be an exaggeration to call him the best bard in Mondstadt."

Wendy smiled and said, "Oh dear, you're making me blush."

[Ying: Is this mutual flattery?]

After saying that, he exchanged a few lines of poetry with Hu Tao.

The two chatted happily.

Xiangling, however, began to doubt her own literary abilities.

Chongyun: It shouldn't be our problem.

[Xingqiu: You've heard the Master's poem before, so it's normal that you don't understand it.]

[Hu Tao: Hmm?]

As she continued talking, Wendy started complaining again.

"Speaking of which, I saw you all entering the New Moon Pavilion one after another, but none of you noticed me standing there."

"Should I say I hid it too well, or that some people ignored the rumors?"

After saying that, she looked at Zhongli with a resentful expression.

Zhongli turned her head away to avoid his gaze.

"Hehe... Liyue Harbor is always bustling with people during the Lantern Festival."

"Everyone is busy admiring the lanterns and strolling around. When the mood strikes, it's easy to spontaneously go out for a walk. No one can predict what others will do."

"The celebration is progressing smoothly, and the gathering of new and old friends is a wonderful thing to celebrate."

"It is truly a pleasure to be able to gather here with you all at the beginning of the new year."

"In this situation, please allow me to offer you a toast with tea instead of wine."

The camera gave Xiao a close-up shot.

He was frightened.

[Arataki Ichito: What's wrong with Xiao? He looks so panicked.]

[Yun Jin: It's a Liyue custom that younger generations usually offer wine to their elders.]

[Kuki Shinobu: Boss, can you imagine the General toasting you?]

[Kavi: No wonder the system said this was Xiao's most difficult episode to handle]

[Ye Lan: This internal struggle is even more difficult than the battle against the layered rocks!]

Xiao looked helplessly at Yingmei.

Wendy continued Zhongli's words.

"Mr. Zhongli is right, he said everything I wanted to say."

"I'm a little embarrassed to talk about this. I was an uninvited guest who suddenly barged into the party. I hope I didn't cause too much trouble for everyone?"

He stood up and raised a cup of tea.

“In Mondstadt, we drink alcohol at times like this.”

"But Mr. Zhongli insisted on drinking tea, so I will also offer everyone a cup of tea to thank you for your hospitality."

First it was Zhongli, then it was Wendy.

Knowing their identities, Xiao couldn't hold back any longer.

Ying stood up. "Xiao, I've eaten too much. Can you come for a walk with me?"

[Ayaka Kamisato: The traveler is still so understanding]

[Ying: Hehe, that's...]

[Kaeya: If she doesn't speak up soon, the Great Sage Equaling Demons really won't be able to hold on.]

Ying left Paimon behind and went out with Xiao.

Behind them, they could hear Zhongli and Wendy teasing each other.

Zhongli: "This new friend seems to know a lot about wine."

Wendy: "Oh, not at all. I can only drink for the fun of it; I can't compare to Mr. Zhongli's refined taste."

"Luckily, this time it was just tea. Otherwise, if I couldn't hold my liquor, I might get drunk and talk nonsense."

"Wouldn't that make us a laughing stock for Mr. Zhongli, whom I've only known for a short time?"

Zhongli: "No, no, you are a guest invited in by Hall Master Hu, how could I dare to laugh at you?"

Chapter 119 Execution: Xiao Zhong Flatters His Boss

Ying and Xiao walked to the door of Xinyuexuan.

Xiao spoke first, "Are you alright?"

Yingmei put her hands on her hips and said, "Shouldn't I be asking you that?"

"I...it's a long story."

Ying asked with concern, "Never seen this before?"

Ying thought that he was in a difficult position because he needed to help Zhongli and Wendy hide their identities.

Unexpectedly, that wasn't the reason.

Xiao looked towards the bustling Liyue Harbor.

"It's not a matter of appearance."

"In the past, there were quite a few immortals who liked to gather and chat."

“They would often invite everyone to drink and have tea together, and I was dragged along many times.”

"But the immortals each have their own strengths, and most of them are proud and arrogant. They always speak their minds directly and don't have... so many tricks up their sleeves."

"And this time..."

[Ying: As expected, I'm still bound by the rules of the human world.]

[Xiao: Not entirely...]

[Hu Tao: As I said, everyone should just be happy and there's no need to worry about it.]

[Kujo Sara: After all, we're in front of our own god, so we should always behave properly.]

[Ke Qing: Not everyone can express their emotions as easily as Master Hu.]
