The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 21 Beware of Lesbians in Qunyu Pavilion

"Squeak~"

"Good morning, Mr. Zhongli."

"Good morning. What's the matter with you, young man?"

Zhongli pushed open the door and looked at Chen Tianfeng who was smiling and bowing respectfully.

If someone who didn't know the situation was the case, they would never have thought that this man had slept against the gate all night and had hurriedly washed himself with water from the bag in the early morning, which is why he looked so energetic.

"Sir, you taught me the martial arts, and you are my mentor." Chen Tianfeng said solemnly, "My hometown has always been a place that values ​​respecting teachers, so I came here to pay my respects."

"I see, my friend is thoughtful."

Zhongli looked at Chen Tianfeng deeply, and was amused by his ability to talk nonsense without changing his expression. "But since you are in Liyue, you should try to adapt to the local customs. It would be too tiring to come and pay your respects every morning."

"Yes, disciple understands."

Chen Tianfeng nodded, and naturally took advantage of the situation. As long as Zhongli did not explicitly refuse, he would dare to call himself a disciple. Then, once a teacher, always a father. He would try to find a powerful and cheap godfather for himself in Teyvat.

"My friend, you don't have to call yourself a disciple. Teaching you the skills is a fair deal between you and me. I can't accept your call of 'Master'."

Zhongli shook his head and chuckled, "But my friend and I hit it off right away. If you're willing, maybe we can become friends regardless of age difference."

"Yes, thank you sir for your kindness!"

Chen Tianfeng bowed again, with genuine joy in his eyes.

It’s good to be friends regardless of age difference, at least the relationship is closer, right?

"My friend, do you have any plans for today? If you want to visit Liyue's famous attractions, I have some good suggestions."

"No, where's Mr. Zhongli? What are your plans for today?"

"Drink tea and listen to opera. If you have some free time, go sit in the Hall of the Dead. Finally, walk around Liyue Harbor. The day will pass by."

"Mr. Zhongli's life is so leisurely that it's enviable."

"It's just normal."

Zhongli closed the gate and walked along the familiar path, with Chen Tianfeng following beside him.

It was early morning, and the slightly cool air had the unique moist feeling of a coastal city. There were not many pedestrians around, and there were no vendors, which surprised Chen Tianfeng. He thought that near a special industry like the Wangsheng Hall, there would be shops selling incense, candles, paper money and other commodities.

"It is the ordinary that makes people envious, plain but not boring, the fireworks of ordinary people. This is the life that many people dream of but cannot get."

"My friend, you are so young, but why do you speak like an old man and lose your vitality?"

"Hehe, because I'm young, I like this feeling of [forcing sadness to compose new words]."

"To compose a new poem, I force myself to express my sorrow... This sentence is very wonderful. Is it also a poem from my hometown?"

"That's right. Coincidentally, Liyue is very similar to my hometown in some ways."

"Oh? I didn't expect there would be such a coincidence in the world. It's really amazing."

Zhongli sighed, stopped at the intersection, turned around and looked at Chen Tianfeng who had been following him, and said helplessly: "My friend, are you going to Heyu Teahouse for tea?"

"Mr. Zhongli is going too? What a coincidence!" Chen Tianfeng looked surprised.

"···"

Zhongli glanced at him and realized that this guy had made up his mind to stay with him for the past two days.

It's also interesting. He was clearly on guard against him the day before, but today he came to seek shelter from him - although the vigilance and precautions are still there, they have been reduced a lot.

"What a coincidence! I'm not going to the Heyu Teahouse right now. Mr. Yun's show doesn't start until the afternoon." Zhongli shook his head, not looking at Chen Tianfeng's expression: "Even though the teahouse is nice, you can't stay there all day." "Mr. Yun? But you're the head of the Yunhan Society, Mr. Yun Jinyun?"

Chen Tianfeng thought for a moment, and remembered this popular character in the game, and smiled naturally: "In this case, my schedule will have to change... I wonder where Mr. Zhongli plans to go to relax?"

"It's not that I'm idle. The hall master told me a few days ago that the Wangsheng Hall will be busy for a while. Since I serve as a guest official of the Wangsheng Hall, I can't just be idle all the time. I still have to do my job." Zhongli said calmly.

It's rare that you still remember that you have a "main job"... Chen Tianfeng complained in his heart, but his smile remained unchanged: "So Mr. Zhongli is going to the Hall of Rebirth?"

"good."

"That's even more coincidental."

"Oh?"

"To be honest with you, Mr. Zhongli, I just earned some penmora and was planning to find a time to go to the Hall of Rebirth to settle the balance."

Chen Tianfeng remained calm and said, "As the saying goes, it's better to do it today than to wait for a day. I can also travel with Mr. Zhongli for a while longer."

"...My friend, this Mora must have been hard-earned." Zhongli sighed.

"In the adult world, there is no such thing as easy." Chen Tianfeng also sighed.

Jade Pavilion,
Ningguang, who had just fallen asleep, was woken up by someone. She came to the office with a little grumpiness and sat on the carved pearwood chair. She covered her red lips with her jade hands and yawned slightly. She glanced at Ye Lan with her beautiful eyes: "If you don't have a good reason, I will have people disturb your sleep for a month."

"Tsk, as expected of Lord Tianquan, he has a bad temper."

Ye Lan teased and put away the dice in her hand: "Remember what I said the other day about meeting an interesting person?"

"Remember. Just say it. I don't have the energy to listen to your recap of the past."

Ningguang yawned again, a little moisture seeping out of the corners of her eyes, lazy and elegant. She was an extremely beautiful woman, with outstanding temperament, red eyes that were as beautiful as gems, and seemed to be the surface of the sea with whirlpools, making it almost impossible to look away. The laziness and tiredness she revealed at this moment made people's hearts palpitate.

Miss Bai Shi, one of Tianquan's confidants and the one who was in charge of the important task of selecting clothes for Ningguang, covered her chest and felt like her heart was about to jump out.

Ahhhhhhhh!! Lady Ningguang is so beautiful!!!
She thought of the heroic figure that Lord Ningguang displayed in front of everyone. The image of Lord Ningguang's back when he was changing clothes and his jade-like body when he came out of the bath appeared in front of her eyes again... Bai Shi wiped her saliva, and her eyes almost showed pink hearts.

Ye Lan glanced at Bai Shi, whose breath seemed a little disordered, in confusion. Although she didn't know what had happened, she always felt that this Miss Bai Shi was a little strange.

Forget it, business is more important... Ye Lan retracted her gaze and said, "He grabbed a piece of 'broken snow'. The writing on it is very interesting. Would you like to take a look?"

Broken snow?

Ningguang frowned slightly, took the paper and looked at it intently.

The next moment, Ningguang, who was lazy but with a hint of softness and fatigue, disappeared. Tianquan Star in Liyue Harbor came back online. She looked solemn. She read the brief information recorded on the paper twice as if to confirm it, and turned her eyes to Ye Lan: "Are you sure... this is 'Shattered Snow'?"

"That's what he said."

Ye Lan smiled and didn't give a direct answer, but it was no different from an answer: "What do you think?"

“I would rather believe that something exists than something that doesn’t exist.”

Ningguang took a deep breath and raised her hand to rub her temple. A strand of her soft white hair fell down. “Do you know why I went to bed late last night?”

"It's not because of the update of your chess game called [Liyue Millennium], right?" Ye Lan raised an eyebrow.

"Of course not."

Ningguang didn't bother to pay attention to her and said, "The seal of the Rocky Abyss is fluctuating, the Lightning Nation Inazuma is in seclusion, the Grass Nation Xumi, the conflict between the desert and the rainforest is intensifying, and even the Winter Faints are taking frequent actions, as if they have received some signal. They are making small moves on the surface, and who knows what they are planning in secret."

"Now you bring news of a dragon disaster that is about to break out in Mondstadt. Haha, a giant wind dragon is attacking Mondstadt, the Kingdom of Wind."

Ningguang smiled softly, and her eyes gradually became serious. She looked into Ye Lan's eyes and said seriously, "I have a feeling that a storm that will sweep across the continent is about to come, Ye Lan."
