The Otherworld Genshin Impact? What happened to Cyberteyvat?!

Just as Ningguang and Aqing had said, there would definitely be a lot of important figures at this banquet, which would be quite troublesome to deal with.

So the result was that none of his family members wanted to come with him!

However, since things had already come to this point, he could only continue to smile and raise his hand:

Hello, both of you.

"Teacher, Master Wu."

Zhiyi spoke up, and the others followed suit.

However, Old Master Li still patted his shoulder with a clear purpose, and whispered in his ear:

"Actually, the Ke family is just concerned about saving face. They're in such a hurry right now that they'll pay you back double whatever amount you send in. If you're really short on cash, I can lend you some as an investment."

Luo Mu immediately lost his composure.

Wait, so Ah Qing, you gave it away for free too? And there were free gifts too?

The Divine Calculation System Girl will never be... in Liyue! : Chapter 693 'Happy End'

They entered the banquet hall through the entrance.

Although it's a super-large conglomerate, it's still in Liyue, and the banquet hosted by the Flying Cloud Group has a style that's quite familiar to him.

In other words, look at all these tables, it's practically a super plus version of a banquet!

"Teacher Luo Mu, please have a seat here. I'll take the two seniors over for a moment and be right back."

Xingqiu, walking beside him, was exceptionally enthusiastic.

This is not surprising, as it can be seen from Xingqiu's previous behavior that he and his older brother should have a pretty good relationship.

Before he could even speak, Old Master Li squeezed next to him.

"Where to go? I think I'm fine sitting at this table. You can take this old guy wherever you want to go. I can not only talk to Xiao Luo about investment plans here, but also chat with my good student. You guys go ahead."

Old Master Li waved his hand directly at Xingqiu and Sect Leader Wu.

Master Wu found it amusing.

"You disrespectful old man, don't you know how old you are, still trying to squeeze into a table with young people."

"What's wrong with sitting at the same table? Who says that people who are decades apart in age can't sit at the same table? Don't you agree, Xiao Luo?"

Old Master Li said this very loudly, and even patted him on the shoulder.

He immediately perked up.

"No problem, they're only a few decades old. I've seen people who are hundreds or thousands of years old. There's nothing that can't be shared at the same table!"

He also stood tall and proud, and put his arm around Old Master Li's shoulder, which made everyone around them a little nervous.

"Mr. Luo Mu must have met with Secretary-General Gan Yu. It is said that Mr. Luo Mu saw through the small world of the Abyss Cult, and even Secretary-General Gan Yu praised him highly. However, it is probably best for us not to speak ill of such seniors behind their backs."

Xing Tiannan interjected with a smile.

However, Luo Mu simply waved his hand dismissively.

"It's alright, it's alright. The Secretary-General even treated me to coconut water. I won't mind such a thing."

The others in front of him clearly didn't realize the significance of the coconut water, but the fact that the Secretary-General was treating them was already quite an achievement.

"Ha, alright, alright."

Sect Leader Wu flicked his sleeves and said, "Since you old codger want to stay here, no one can do anything to you. But you may be shameless, but I still have my pride. I'm leaving now."

"Let's go, let's go,"

Grandpa Li waved his hand dismissively, then put his arm around Luo's shoulder. "What's the point of eating with you old folks? You might not even get a hot meal. I'm much more comfortable here, aren't I, Luo?"

"Yes."

Luo Mu readily agreed, patting his chest as he spoke, "Let's eat and talk. Here, let me get you a glass of soda first, drink up!"

As a result, the corner of Old Master Li's mouth twitched slightly.

"Well... it's not impossible, is it?"

It's fine not to drink alcohol.

However, Luo Mu was very happy and showed no signs of the awkwardness one would expect when first arriving at the domain of a large conglomerate.

You know what, my wife isn't here today, and I'm surrounded by men, and it actually feels surprisingly good!

Of course, let me clarify first that I don't have any strange fetishes, but it's just that the atmosphere at a gathering of men is really different, you know what I mean!

Today I'm going to let loose!

"Li~!"

he:"--?"

Mr. Luo Mu raised his head, and Miss Jiu Chong, who was perched on his head, also leaned forward naturally, stepping on his forehead and waving one of her little paws forward.

"Li!"

Hey, get me some to try!

This time, it was Luo Mu's turn to lose his composure.

Wait, how did you appear out of nowhere?

"Li~"

Miss Kokonoe simply swept her fluffy tail back and forth behind his head, looking quite pleased with herself.

He was speechless.

Oh well, it's just a fox anyway.

It's still a men's gathering today!

"Come, sit down, let's have a drink first!"

Mr. Luo Mu immediately and generously invited the others to sit down, just like a host.

However, well, there's no soda on the table.

"Xingqiu."

"Oh, I'll have the waiter bring it over in a bit."

"Li!"

"Okay, okay!"

He casually picked up a piece of pickled radish from the cold dish with his chopsticks and stuffed it into Miss Jiuchong's mouth.

Stop here!

"Ugh!"

Miss Jiu Chong tossed her head and flung the radish at his face.

"Hey!"

My mouth is watering!

"Hahaha."

The old man sitting next to him immediately burst into hearty laughter.

As a result, contrary to his expectations, the atmosphere at the table quickly became lively.

Just as Xingqiu had said, the waiter quickly brought him a large Coke, which was even ice-cold. Then he poured himself a drink and toasted with Grandpa Li.

Xingqiu arrived at their table a while later, but Xingtiannan left again shortly after. A little while later, Xingtiannan and Xingqiu's father came to their table with Xingtiannan to personally express their gratitude, and they did so publicly in front of everyone.

If some clueless spoiled brat were to appear in the middle, it could easily become a classic wish-fulfillment story plot.

Unfortunately, that didn't happen.

"It's a pity that the Sun Golden Thread Talisman, which the sect leader forged himself, has been with me for so many years, but it has been lost this time."

They've now reached the point where they're full and satisfied—or rather, they're happily stuffed and ready to go home.

As they were leaving, they finally ran into Master Wu again, and Xing Tiannan sighed to Master Wu.

"It's alright."

Headmaster Wu, who seemed to be in a good mood today, simply waved his hand.

"That was one of my works from many years ago. I suppose my technique wasn't mature enough back then, which allowed the Abyss Order to take advantage of me. I'll take this opportunity to prepare a new one for you as a gift to wish you a new life, Tiannan."

"Hey, can I have one?"

Luo Mu peeked out.

"Mmm."

Miss Jiuchong, who was perched on Luo Mu's head, curled up with her eyes closed and smacked her lips.

After a satisfying meal, it's time to sleep.

Anyway, this fox was living a very comfortable life, but he was different.

Even the Abyss Order, which made such a big show of it, had to have Xing Tiannan throw this thing away before continuing. From a certain perspective, this fully demonstrates the value of this thing, right?

Moreover, it is said that Xing Tiannan was saved from being corrupted by the abyss aura by this very amulet. Since they deal with the Abyss Cult every day, they might need it to save their lives someday.

Whether it's him or someone else in his family, having an extra layer of insurance is definitely a good thing. It's always better to be a little shameless now than to regret it later.

Of course, although he wasn't embarrassed about his thick skin, it was a little different when he needed someone's help.

"While it might not express anything meaningful, perhaps I can prepare the materials myself?"

Luo Mu continued.

Good things require good materials, that's for sure. But it's also obvious that Master Wu is an extraordinary figure. Getting such a big shot to personally do the work is undoubtedly a very valuable thing.

However, Master Wu seemed quite agreeable.

"It's alright. Mr. Luo Mu is a benefactor of Tiannan this time. This talisman is also forged, and there's no difference between the two. Mr. Luo Mu doesn't need to worry about preparing the materials himself."

So-called transcendence, how many people can truly transcend the mundane?

Even if one overcomes that hurdle, there are still people and things to care about behind one's back. There are countless people still living in the mortal world, and the same is true for the sect leader.

Luo Mu's performance this time not only forged friendships with experts, but also established close relationships with Yuheng Star and Tianquan Star. Old Man Li even spent a long time discussing with Luo Mu the plan to propose marriage to the Ke family. In the end, even true seniors like Secretary-General Gan Yu took notice of Luo Mu because of this.

Even though Luo Mu's level was not high at this time, he had lived for so many years and was the head of a sect. Sect Leader Wu knew this very well, and it wouldn't hurt to make a good relationship with Luo Mu.

"Ha, you really don't need to be polite with this old guy."

Grandpa Li patted him on the shoulder and said, "This old guy has accumulated so many good things over the years. If we don't take some out soon, he might have to take them all with him to the grave."

Old Master Li said this with a smile, but then suddenly changed the subject and looked at him, asking:

"But you said you want to prepare the materials yourself, so let me ask you, do you know what the main ingredient of the Sun Golden Thread Talisman is, and why it is named as such?"

Luo Mu's lips twitched.

No, why does this feel strangely familiar?

Zhiyi, who was standing to the side, gave a wry smile.

"Teacher, your occupational hazard has kicked in again."

"Hmph, what harm could it do you to know more useful knowledge?"

Old Master Li was very dissatisfied.

He was speechless.

No wonder I felt so strongly about this earlier. I had forgotten that you used to be a teacher, and now you're the librarian.

"I do not know."

There was no need for the old man and Zhiyi to bicker anymore; he simply cooperated by adopting a studious demeanor.

The old man was clearly very satisfied.
