The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 161 The Neighbors Who Were Evicted

Liyue Port,
Chen Tianfeng led the horse and walked side by side with Ye Lan. After half a year, he returned here again. This prosperous port city seemed to have not changed at all, and it was still prosperous.

Chen Tianfeng raised his hand to straighten his collar, turned his head to look at Ye Lan who had changed her identity from Kafka, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "When I first entered Liyue Harbor on a donkey cart, I thought that when I come next time, I must change into a better appearance, at least not to look like a refugee."

Ye Lan recalled the scene from last time, and there was a smile in her eyes. She glanced at Chen Tianfeng, her eyes moving: "Brother Chen, have you ever thought about what it looks like?"

"A young man in green clothes with a sword? Or a millionaire?"

"Just millions?"

"Millions are already a lot. When I first arrived at Liyue Harbor, hundreds of thousands of Mora gave me a hard time."

“Heh, Brother Chen even thought of breaking up the snow.”

"Life forced me to do it, but now that I think about it, that period was quite interesting."

Chen Tianfeng sighed, looked up at the two majestic stone lions in front of the General Affairs Department not far away, and stopped: "Okay, let's stop here."

It just so happens that the last time I came to Liyue Harbor, Ye Lan and I parted ways here.

Chen Tianfeng left his chestnut horse behind, took the key to the courtyard handed to him by Ye Lan, and said goodbye to Ye Lan temporarily. He glanced at the bustling streets and was about to find a direction that he liked.

"Brother Chen!"

Suddenly a voice came from behind.

"Ok?"

Chen Tianfeng turned around and saw Ye Lan looking at him with a smile. He waved and shouted, "Welcome to Liyue Harbor."

"..."

Chen Tianfeng did not answer, but just smiled, waved his hand, and turned away.

Ye Lan watched Chen Tianfeng go away, and only looked away when his back disappeared around the corner. She stopped smiling and turned to look at Tianquan's assistant who had appeared out of nowhere: "Let's go."

"Yes, Lord Yelan."

……

Chen Tianfeng took the key and followed the location Ye Lan said, and successfully found the courtyard next to Chihuyan.

The courtyard is not big. Although it is located in Chihuyan, it is separated from the busiest street of Chihuyan by an alley. The environment is very good. It has the atmosphere of fireworks while maintaining just the right quietness.

"Squeak-"

Chen Tianfeng opened the door and glanced at the scene in the courtyard.

The courtyard is quite exquisite, with bluestone bricks and tiles, plum trees and bamboos, and a bunch of orchids beside the courtyard wall.

I guess after Ye Lan bought this courtyard, she had no intention of letting it go to waste. Instead, she took care of it from time to time. Who knows, when she feels like it, she might stay in this courtyard for a few days.

Chen Tianfeng closed the door and walked along the bluestone brick road to the back of the house. As expected, he saw a hard stone well in the small backyard. He looked inside and saw that it was dark in the well, but the light of water was faintly visible.

Yes, using water is much more convenient.

Chen Tianfeng was very satisfied. He walked around the yard, then rolled up his sleeves and started cleaning with great interest.

In fact, there was not much to clean. I just swept the fallen leaves in the yard, filled a basin with water, wiped the dust off the furniture in the house, cleaned the kitchen, and chose an empty room I liked to use as a bedroom. The cleaning was then declared complete.

But there were a lot of things missing. Apart from other things, there must be pots, pans, and bedding... Chen Tianfeng thought about it, took out a pen and paper, and wrote down the things he wanted to buy one by one.

Chen Tianfeng made a record and seeing that it was still early, he did not delay, took the key, locked the door, and walked briskly through the alley, intending to make some purchases at the nearby Chihuyan.

I don’t know whether Chihuyan’s products are complete... Chen Tianfeng was thinking about it, and then he saw a familiar figure walking towards him, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Mr. Zhongli?"

"Huh? I actually met you here, what a fate."

Zhongli smiled gently, without any surprise in his eyes.

"Yeah, what a coincidence." Chen Tianfeng smiled back.

What a coincidence! This old guy must have followed me all the way, and only pretended to meet me by chance when he saw me alone. The gaze I felt in Guiliyuan was indeed from this elderly man. "I wonder if you are free, young friend?"

"What a coincidence."

Chen Tianfeng cupped his hands, his expression sincere: "I have just arrived at Liyue Harbor, and I am planning to buy some daily furniture. I am afraid I will not be able to accompany Mr. Zhongli to reminisce about the past."

"Oh? Did you find a house?"

"good."

"Eating Tiger Rock too?"

"……also?"

Chen Tianfeng blinked his eyes, subconsciously feeling that something was wrong, and had some vague guesses in his mind.

"Haha, what a coincidence, a few days ago I was in a good mood and bought an unused courtyard in Chihuyan."

Zhongli still smiled and said gently: "Young friend, why don't you tell me where your residence is? Perhaps we can become neighbors."

Chen Tianfeng: “…”

Very good, he had already guessed the result.

Chen Tianfeng cupped his hands and replied, "Chihuyan, Lane B, Courtyard No. 7."

"No. 8, Lane B, Chihuyan - my friend and I are indeed destined to meet." Zhongli nodded slightly.

It's really no surprise.

Do all the gods of Teyvat like to do this?

Everyone is so cautious, is he that dangerous?

Well, it is indeed dangerous... Chen Tianfeng thought about it and realized that if he and Zhongli swapped positions, he would probably do the same.

The first thing is to comfort him, so that he won't be depressed or think too much. The second thing is to ensure his safety. Finally, find ways to send him out of the country as quickly as possible - as far as possible.

"I didn't expect to be Mr. Zhongli's neighbor. It's really an honor for me." Chen Tianfeng said sincerely, and then he was a little puzzled: "But why doesn't Mr. Zhongli live in the guest courtyard of Wangsheng Hall?"

Zhongli glanced at Chen Tianfeng who was asking the question knowing the answer, and said calmly, "He was kicked out by the hall master."

"what?"

Hu Tao kicked Zhongli out? Why?
Chen Tianfeng immediately became interested: "Did Mr. Zhongli make Hall Master Hu angry?"

"Well, let's talk while we walk. It just so happens that you want to buy some furniture, and I can help you with some ideas."

Zhongli walked out of Chihuyan and explained, "Chihuyan has mostly delicious food. If you want to buy furniture or other sundries, you should choose the port market first."

"I see. Thank you, Mr. Zhongli."

Chen Tianfeng and Zhongli walked side by side, not forgetting to ask: "Mr. Zhongli, why did Hall Master Hu kick you out?"

"Because of the bills."

"bill?"

"Well, a few days ago, I was in a good mood and bought a lot of things, so I spent a lot. Unfortunately, the hall master saw the bill and got furious, so he kicked me out."

Zhongli sighed and said, "The hall master is still young and does not understand that Mora needs to flow. If it is left unused, Mora will become a worthless stone."

"..."

Chen Tianfeng was not sure what to say. After thinking for a while, he asked, "What did Mr. Zhongli buy?"

Antiques? Gems? Or some exotic flowers and plants?
Zhongli looked at him, sighed again, and said, "It's the small courtyard where we eat tiger rocks."

Chen Tianfeng: “…”
