Genshin Impact, but the chat group

"Wait until next time, I'll take you next time."

"This is what you said!"

Walnut was very happy to receive Li Yue's guarantee.

"Speaking of which, where are Zhongli and Naxida? Did they go out for tea again?"

“That’s right, Zhongli went out early this morning, but this time it wasn’t for tea. I heard that a foreigner invited him to dinner.”

"Besides, ever since you brought Naxida back, Li Yue, Zhongli has always had an excuse. He still hasn't delivered the burial plot when I asked him to. Every time I try to lecture him, he uses Naxida as a shield, making it impossible for me to lecture him. Now that foreigners have come looking for him, I have even less time to lecture him. Sigh..."

Hu Tao helplessly spread her little hands and sighed.

"Ok?"

Li Yue's eyes lit up when she heard what Hu Tao said.

"A foreigner invited him to dinner? Where?"

"What? Are you going to eat too?"

Hu Tao stared at Li Yue with a puzzled look.

"No, I mainly want to see what foreigners are like. So far, I've only seen Sumerians and Mondstadters in Teyvat. I don't know what people from other countries are like."

"What else could it be? Isn't it just two eyes, a nose, and a mouth?"

No, no, no, my dear Hu Tao, the Summoning Ceremony is coming in a few days. The foreigner who came to see Zhongli now is no ordinary foreigner. He is a toy salesman who deeply loves the land of Liyue!

From a temporary farewell to the Eastern Capital to a permanent one! His love for this land ran deep!

Just kidding, he did go back to celebrate the winter solstice, but only to attend the banquet.

"Just tell me where they are."

"Hmm, it should be either at Liuli Pavilion or Xinyue Pavilion. Anyway, Zhongli said that foreigner is quite rich."

"Okay, okay, I'll go take a look too."

Are you really going?

Hu Tao looked at Li Yue in surprise.

"Yeah, I haven't eaten yet today, so now's the perfect time to go mooch a meal."

"Alright, go ahead then. I have something to do, so I won't go for now."

Hu Tao waved to Li Yue, indicating that Li Yue could go by herself. Li Yue didn't waste any time and left the Hall of Rebirth directly.

Xinyuexuan and Liuliting are not far from Wangshengtang, just a few minutes' walk away. Li Yue told each person at the door that she was looking for someone, and then found Zhongli eating and the foreigner who was hosting the meal inside Xinyuexuan.

However, contrary to Li Yue's expectations, Zhong Li and the foreigner who was treating them were not the only ones dining there; Nasida and Wendy were also present.

"Huh? Isn't this Li Yue? You're back?"

Wendy greeted Li Yue immediately upon seeing her.

"Why are you here?"

Li Yue asked a question in response to Li Yue's habit.

"What do you mean I'm here too? My friend, can't I be here?"

Wendy looked resentful.

"Didn't you say that some foreigners were treating Zhongli to dinner? Did they invite you too?"

Li Yue looked at Zhong Li with curiosity, her eyes asking a question.

Zhongli explained with a hint of helplessness.

“Mr. D'Artagnan from Winter did invite me to dinner, but we happened to meet this bard from Mondstadt on the way. The bard said he was a good friend of yours, Li Yue, and also knew Narcida. Narcida admitted that she did know him, so we simply invited him to join us.”

From Zhongli's expression, Li Yue could see his reluctance. He really didn't want Wendy to come along, but Wendy had brought up Li Yue's connections, and Narcida didn't know whether to deny it or not, so she just admitted it. In addition, D'Artagnan was also full of curiosity about Li Yue, so he simply let Wendy come along.

“That’s right, we’ve only just sat down and haven’t even started eating yet. Li Yue, you’ve come at just the right time.”

Wendy explained happily.

Since the person who was hosting said it was fine, Zhongli naturally couldn't say anything. So, the scene of the three of them having dinner with D'Artagnan came about. What do you call a grand scene? This is a grand scene! D'Artagnan will probably never experience a grander scene in his life.

That's right, the man who treated them to dinner was none other than the man who deeply loved Liyue, the Winter! [Young Master] Tartaglia!

"Dadalia?"

Li Yue feigned confusion and looked at the only unfamiliar face present.

"This must be Li Yue, the Liyue Immortal who defeated Stormterror in Mondstadt!"

"Immortal Li Yue?"

Li Yue couldn't help but tilt her head back slightly. When did she get this title?

"That's right. Immortal Li Yue from Liyue defeated the Stormterror that had been troubling Mondstadt, allowing the Stormterror to once again become the guardian of Mondstadt. This news has already been released through the official announcement of the Knights of Favonius of Mondstadt, and even I, who am far away in Winterfall, already know about it."

Goodness, how come I didn't know about this? Is it because I hardly read any official announcements when I was in Mondstadt?

To be honest, Li Yue was a little confused. He didn't expect that he would become an immortal because of Amber's misunderstanding.

"I originally thought that Immortal Li Yue would be a mature middle-aged immortal, but I didn't expect him to be so young!"

Clearly, the young master only knew that Li Yue was a messenger from the immortals, but did not know what Li Yue looked like.

"Wait, what did you say your name was?"

"Oh, right, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Tadalia, and I'm from Winter's End..."

Since they had just sat down, D'Artagnan hadn't had a chance to reveal his identity yet, but Li Yue wasn't going to give him that opportunity.

"Datalia, I know you!"

"Ok?"

Li Yue's words puzzled D'Addariya.

"You know me?"

“That’s right. Because of my abilities, I once had the privilege of going to Winter. There I met a child, and I learned about you, Datalia, from him.”

"Child?"

The young master was somewhat puzzled, but then he sensed something was wrong!

"Ah, that child said his brother, Tadalia, is the best toy salesman in Winter's End! He must be talking about you!"

"Toy?"

Wendy looked at the young master.

"Salesman?"

Naxi Da also looked at the young master.

"..."

Zhongli also looked at the young master.

The young master's smile froze.

Li Yue then looked at Zhong Li.

"So, is our Wangshengtang going to start collaborating with Zhidong to develop a toy sales business?"

"..."

88. Dada duck, Liyue people don't lie to Liyue people.

"Although we only met once, the child's name was Tok, right? I think I remember correctly."

"Yes, his name is Tok."

He also said that your best-selling toy is called One-Eyed Treasure, or something like that.

"Um...yes, that's the name."

"What? My memory is pretty good! I've only heard the name once, but I still remember it!"

"Hehehe."

The number of people at the table has increased from four to five. Li Yue sat next to D'Addaría, patting him on the shoulder and chatting with him, but the smile on D'Addaría's face always looked very forced.

Following the Empress's orders, he arrived in Liyue, intending to plot Morax's Heart of God. To be honest, he was stunned when he received the order. Even though he was in Winter, he knew the name of Morax, the Geo Archon, who was the oldest war god. To ask him to obtain the other party's Heart of God, without any help from his colleagues or executive officers, Your Majesty, are you serious?

But Her Majesty the Queen's orders must be carried out! Tartaglia resolutely set foot on the land of Liyue.

As instructed by the Queen, find a man named Zhongli, who will provide assistance.

As expected of Her Majesty the Empress, she already knows Liyue inside and out!

Although Her Majesty the Empress had given him a lot of help, D'Artagnan would still conduct his own investigation. As an executor of the Fatui, he was aware of this.

Then he received news that Li Yue, the High Priestess of Liyue, had helped Mondstadt resolve the Stormterror's calamity and had recently returned to Liyue.

It's common knowledge throughout Teyvat that there are immortals in Liyue, and the Geo Archon is even considered the progenitor of all immortals. However, most people don't know much about immortals, so the appearance of an immortal here is quite intriguing for Tartaglia.

As Tartaglia grows stronger with each battle, he longs to fight the legendary Sage!

However, the current situation seems to be a little off.

"Dada duck, let me tell you, if you want to cooperate with Wangshengtang, it's useless to go to Zhongli. You should go to me or the hall master. Zhongli is like a rock. If you expect him to do business with you, you'll lose everything!"

Li Yue put her arm around D'Artagnan's shoulder, pointed at Zhong Li, and gave him her advice.

"Huh? My name is Tadalia, not Tadalia the duck. And I heard that Mr. Zhongli is very knowledgeable, so that's why..."

Hearing Li Yue's words, Dadalia couldn't help but defend Zhong Li, after all, this was the person Her Majesty the Empress told him to contact.

"No, no, no, you can't be fooled by appearances. Zhongli does have some brains, but he has no concept of money. You'll suffer if you work for him, you know that?"

Li Yue very considerately advised D'Artagnan. He was genuinely worried about this naive and honest man. "Do you even know the whole story? You were the one who got scammed, even by your own colleagues. Then you got a severe beating from the blond guy. In the end, your colleagues ran off with the stuff, and you were wanted by Liyue. You had to leave for distant lands. You were cheated out of money and your feelings. You're so pitiful."

"Believe me, I am the Liyue Master. Would I, the Liyue Master, lie to you? Liyue people don't lie to Liyue people!"

Upon hearing Li Yue mention his immortal identity, D'Artagnan was momentarily conflicted. If he was an immortal, it should be true, right? But Zhongli was indeed the person Her Majesty the Empress had told him to contact.

Surely he wouldn't dare lie to Her Majesty the Queen, would he? Besides...

"I am a Winter Solstice person!"
