I write novels in Liyue

Fang Qiu nodded.

This is the route Shen He always takes home from get off work, so she deliberately waited for him here.

Today is Hu Tao's birthday, but she did not choose to celebrate at Liuli Pavilion, Xinyue Pavilion, or Wanmin Hall.

Instead, a banquet was held in the Hall of Rebirth.

It was only for entertaining a few friends.

The travelers will also be there.

And then there's that mysterious Zhongli guest.

Seeing is believing, no matter how much you hear about it.

Chapter 537 Zhongli Keeps Accounts

"Highbrow music may not be unknown; there will always be kindred spirits and elegant lyrics. The red-tasseled sword, like a shooting star, points straight at the raging tide to wash the sea clean."

As dusk settled, Shen He followed Fang Qiu, humming softly.

"It seems you really like 'The Goddess Splits the Temple', Shen He."

Upon hearing the familiar melody, Fang Qiu chuckled and said.

"Ah."

Shen He nodded.

"Yun Jin will be very happy to know."

Fang Qiu said.

"why?"

Shen He tilted his head slightly, a hint of doubt appearing in his still somewhat dazed gaze.

"It's something to be very happy about when friends like the opera I sing."

Fang Qiu explained.

"I see."

Shen He nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Fang Qiu and said, "I also really like your songs."

"Thank you."

Seeing Shen He's serious expression, Fang Qiu couldn't help but chuckle.

She knew that this was Shen He's true feeling.

Shen He wouldn't say something against his conscience just to please someone.

Then, Shen He sang "Night Breeze" along the way. It has to be said that Shen He sang very well, and Fang Qiu's chest ached slightly from singing.

Teacher Himeko...

Just then, Shen He stopped in his tracks.

"Shen He, what's wrong?"

Fang Qiu was taken aback. Following Shen He's gaze, he saw a familiar figure in an antique shop.

The man was tall and handsome, with a calm and composed demeanor.

At this moment, it seems he is standing in an antique shop selecting antiques.

It's him?

That Liyue Seven Stars!

Fang Qiu's heart skipped a beat, then he looked at Shen He and asked, "Shen He, do you know that person? According to the traveler, he's a very important person."

"An important person..."

Upon hearing Fang Qiu mention the traveler, Shen He paused slightly, then nodded and said, "If I had to say, he must be a very important person."

What the traveler said...

Although she didn't quite know who that gentleman was.

However, the fact that her master valued her so much, and specifically instructed her not to disturb that gentleman while he was drinking, was remarkable.

This is enough to prove his extraordinary status.

They are by no means ordinary people.

Moreover, the master had instructed that we must not reveal anything about that gentleman.

Therefore, she couldn't tell Fang Qiu either.

"really."

Fang Qiu nodded thoughtfully, feeling somewhat smug.

hum.

My judgment was indeed correct; that young man is definitely one of the Seven Stars of Liyue!

This is the advantage of being a time traveler!

"Alright, let's go."

Fang Qiu withdrew her gaze, tugged at Shen He, and said.

This important person knows her; it's not safe to stay here any longer.

"Ah."

Shen He nodded.

Shortly after they left, a blonde girl with her white-haired, floating companion also stopped in front of the antique shop.

"Hey, isn't that Zhongli? What's he doing?"

Paimon asked doubtfully, "Traveler, let's go take a look."

"Ah."

Ying nodded.

They walked along, greeting Zhongli as they went.

"Zhongli".

Paimon said, waving his hand.

"It's you guys! Long time no see! How's your journey been?"

Zhongli turned around and said.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Paimon said.

Ying also greeted them.

"Zhongli, what are you still doing here? Hu Tao's birthday party is about to start, isn't it?"

Paimon asked, "Are you buying a gift for Walnut?"

"Yes."

Zhongli nodded and said, "Well... since we don't have much time left, let's take these jade pendants."

"Sir, you have excellent taste. This jade pendant has a very heartwarming legend behind it."

"That's what the boss said."

"Ok?"

Zhongli raised an eyebrow.

"It is said that hundreds of years ago, before the Emperor passed away..."

"

When the topic of the Emperor's passing came up, the shopkeeper couldn't help but sigh, his mood becoming somewhat somber.

My condolences.

Zhongli said.

Upon hearing Zhongli's words, Paimon and Ying both showed strange expressions.

"Ahem, sorry, I'll continue."

The boss composed himself and continued, "Legend has it that hundreds of years ago, there was a family who prayed to the Rock King Emperor, hoping that their family could live in harmony and happiness."

"and then?"

Paimon asked.

"The man in that couple was also a member of the Thousand Rock Army. He died in the battle of the Layered Rock Abyss five hundred years ago. His wife was heartbroken and passed away when their child was just a few years old, leaving the child alone in the world. In the dead of winter, the child was bullied by his wicked relatives, kicked out of the house, and was about to freeze and starve to death. Then, the child had a dream in the snow at night. He dreamed of his parents, and a miracle happened. The child did not die, and the jade pendants appeared on him. The child believed that the Rock King Emperor must have sent his parents to protect him. So, under the protection of the jade pendants, the child gradually grew up and reclaimed his family's property. After he got married and established his own family, the jade pendants lost their power and eventually fell into my hands as time passed."

"That's what the boss said."

"I see. Then please pack it in a box, and remember to use the best sandalwood."

Zhongli nodded thoughtfully.

"Okay, I'll wrap it up for you right away,"

The boss beamed with joy.

The jade pendant made a fortune, and the fine sandalwood box will bring in another profit.

"Although the story is touching, the beginning part sounds so familiar, like I've heard it somewhere before."

While the boss was packaging the jade pendant, Paimon said.

"Are you talking about the couple and child in Fang Qiu and Yun Jin's 'Misplaced Time and Space'?"

Zhongli said.

"Huh? Could it be that the boss is a fraud?"

Paimon's eyes widened.
