"Okay, okay, it just so happens that the airship ride you took me to experience last time was so fun. Today, I will use my own money to treat you all to a banquet! Besides, even if others want to invite the immortals to dinner, I'm afraid they won't have the opportunity~"
After hearing this, Hu Tao immediately smiled and nodded in agreement.
When it comes to eating, the more people there are, the more lively it is, and the more lively the food, the more delicious it is!
"This is the first time we meet, you two. I am a young guest from the Purity Hall. My name is Zhongli."
Facing the eyes that finally looked at him, Zhongli still maintained his calm expression, pretending to be meeting for the first time.
At the same time, he was also telling them in this way that he was just an ordinary mortal in Liyue Port, not some retired former emperor.
"Hello, I am the True Lord of Gechenlang City. Of course, you can call me Aping. You don't have to call me by my fairy name in Liyue Port."
The True Lord of Gechenlang City said to Hutao and the others with a smile, and at the same time gave Zhongli a reassuring look in return.
Over the years, they had lived in seclusion in Liyue Port without disturbing each other, and they had never revealed each other's identity.
"A Ping? Huh? Why does this hall master feel that you look familiar? It seems like I have seen you somewhere before?"
Hu Tao looked at the beautiful green-haired woman in front of him and felt that she looked familiar.
It is absolutely impossible for this Hall Master to forget a woman with such a distinctive personality, right?
"Haha, Hall Master Hu, this is indeed not the first time we have met..."
The true Lord of Gechenlang City said in the voice of Grandma Ping this time.
This also made Hu Tao widen his eyes and look at her in disbelief.
"This voice?! Grandma Ping! You turn out to be so young and beautiful! Although I've heard that immortals don't age, I didn't expect it to be true!"
After all, seeing Hu Tao's interesting reaction, his affection for her personality doubled, and he introduced himself to them.
"This is the first time we meet, you two. After all, my name is the emperor beside me... who hurts me! Ah Ping, why did you hit me?"
Just when Gui Zhong was about to reveal the identity of Emperor Zhong Rui, he was lightly knocked on the head by Zhenjun Ge Chenlangshi who was standing next to him.
After hearing the word "Emperor" finally leaked out, Hutao touched his chin and thought about it, and then asked Zhong Rui curiously.
"Emperor? It can't be the emperor, right? No wonder I haven't seen it before. It turns out to be the Tianrui Emperor who just appeared recently!"
"Oh? Don't you know?"
After all, seeing Hu Tao's reaction to guessing Zhong Rui's identity, she immediately looked at Zhong Rui with apologetic eyes.
When she heard that Hu Tao knew the identity of Immortal Zhong Rui, she thought Hu Tao knew the identity of Emperor Zhong Rui...
Unexpectedly, it was self-defeating!
"Ahem, Hall Master Hu, I'm sorry for keeping my identity hidden."
"It's okay, it's okay! I can understand it. After all, if the identity of the emperor is changed to someone else, I'm afraid I won't be able to accept it for a while, but it's just a small thing for this hall master!"
Hu Tao waved his hand, not caring about Zhong Rui's hiding of his identity at all, but expressing understanding of his actions.
Besides, Hu Tao's character has been honed over the years, so she wouldn't be surprised even if the guest Qing Zhongli following behind her turns out to be an immortal!
"Why don't we go in and order food first? Everyone can chat while eating and stand in front of the store. I'm afraid it will hinder Wanmintang's business."
Zhong Li noticed that Hu Tao looked at him a few times, and quickly changed the topic. He already regretted coming with the hall master to have a meal this time.
Because he noticed that the eyes looking at him after all seemed to be thinking of some weird idea...
Chapter 179 Xiang Ling: My master can’t be a young beauty!
"Ahaha, here comes the chicken soup!"
Xiang Ling brought a pot of freshly stewed chicken soup to the table, followed by Guo Ba, who also brought a plate to the table.
After knowing that Zhong Rui and Hu Tao, her two good friends, were coming over for dinner, Xiang Ling naturally wanted to come over and entertain them in person!
Moreover, Zhong Rui, Hu Tao, and Zhong Li are also the few people in Liyue who are willing to review her new dishes!
Unexpectedly, these three people could actually get together today!
This must be Emperor Tianrui hinting to her that today is a good day to try new dishes!
"Everyone, hurry up and eat while it's hot, by the way! Most of Wanmintang's dishes are on the spicy side, and I don't know if they will suit your taste."
Xiangling saw two fairies with extraordinary temperaments sitting at the dining table, and felt a little embarrassed to tell them.
The identities of these two people are not simple at first glance. In addition, they came here with Zhong Rui. They must be immortals in the Immortal Palace, right?
Even Xiangling would inevitably feel a little nervous at the thought of her craftsmanship being tasted by the immortals.
"Xiang Ling, be more confident in your skills. The food you cook is delicious."
"Thank you for your compliment, I will continue to work hard...Wait? You can only look so familiar?"
Hearing the praise from Lord Gechenlangshi, Xiangling felt a little shy subconsciously, and then noticed a subtle sense of familiarity from her.
"Hehe, Xiangling, let me give you a hint. You have met this immortal before, and you have a close relationship~"
Seeing that Xiangling finally noticed Ge Chenlangshi Zhenjun, Hutao looked at their master and disciple with a smile.
Unexpectedly, the true king of Gechenlang City had never shown his youthful appearance in front of Xiangling. If she hadn't deliberately used Grandma Ping's voice before, I might not have been able to recognize him.
"Hmm... the immortal I am very familiar with? Is it the immortal who visited the master?"
Xiang Ling frowned and tried to remember the identity of the immortal in front of her, until she noticed the dust-cleansing bell on the waist of True Lord Gechenlang City, and her eyes widened in disbelief.
"You...are you?"
"Haha, did Xiangling finally recognize me?"
The True Lord of Gechenlang City looked at the enlightened disciple, showed an elegant smile, picked up the tea and took a sip.
"The master's daughter?!"
After hearing this answer, Hu Tao lowered her head and leaned on the table. Judging from her trembling shoulders, she was already trying very hard to suppress her laughter.
Guizhu, who was sitting next to the True Lord of Gechenlang City, laughed unceremoniously, pointed at her and smiled.
"Hahaha! Aping, how old did you look before?"
"A Ping? Huh? Are you the master?"
Xiangling also reacted at this time, and then looked at the helpless expression of Ge Chenlangshi Zhenjun in disbelief.
"Xiang Ling, have I changed that much?"
"Uh-huh!"
Xiang Ling nodded with certainty. After all, the impression of the master in her mind was always that of a kind-hearted old lady!
It cannot be said that she has nothing to do with the chic and beautiful fairy in front of her. I can only say that the two of them are completely different from each other in appearance and temperament!
Don't say it's her here, even if you call your junior sister Yaoyao over, you probably won't be able to recognize the master!
"Oh, it's really interesting, but it seems that everyone here has some connection with the Immortal family~ This hall master knows the Immortal Zhong Rui, and Xiang Ling is the Immortal's apprentice. As for Zhongli... you are older than me Do you know Zhong Rui?"
Seeing the embarrassment on Xiangling's face, Hutao helped her friend change the topic.
Just as she was talking, her playful eyes fell on Zhongli who was silently picking up food at the corner of the dining table.
Zhong Li knew the emperor Zhong Rui earlier than she did. In addition to his young age, he was more knowledgeable than those old people in their sixties, and he was very familiar with Liyue's history and ancient methods.
For such a person, it is difficult not to make people doubt whether he is related to immortals...
"Master, my encounter with Zhong Rui was just an accident, and it didn't happen long before the master."
Seeing that the focus of the conversation had shifted to himself, Zhongli put down his bowls and chopsticks and explained to Hu Tao confidently.
After all, he didn't lie. He and Zhong Rui met only a little earlier than Hu Tao.
"Really?"
Hu Tao still had doubts in her eyes, obviously she didn't just believe Zhongli's words.
"Speaking of which, Mr. Zhongli also told me a lot about the ancient cooking methods of Liyue cuisine, and there are also many techniques that have been lost. It is indeed a bit suspicious to say that."
Xiangling also stood on Hutao's side to help. After all, she still understands the principle of repaying kindness with a drop of water and a spring of spring!
If she didn't join the army of people speculating on Zhongli's identity right now, she might be punished by her master to practice her marksmanship a few more times because she would be reminded of what happened just now.
"I just happened to read a few books about recipes, such as "Cai's Cooking" and "Liyue Ancient Cuisine"..."
Zhongli's expression did not change because of Xiangling's addition, but he used his photographic memory to name several books.
As long as the immortals here do not recognize his identity, then he will only be an unknown mortal in Liyue Port!
"Oh? I remember that "Cai's Cooking" existed thousands of years ago, right? Such an ancient book has actually been preserved? Mr. Zhongli is still lucky enough to read it?"
After all, a sinister smile appeared on his face, and her addition also caused some changes in Zhongli's expression.
"That's right! I've never seen this book. Where did you read it, Zhongli?"
Xiang Ling quickly stepped forward to cooperate with Gui Zhi.
"Um...an antique market, but that's just a manuscript. What's important is the knowledge recorded on it."
Zhongli made an excuse casually, but he didn't expect that he would suddenly get involved after all.
"Zhong Rui, tell me quietly, is Zhongli an immortal?"
Seeing that Zhongli was still making excuses, Hutao came to Zhongrui, put her arm around him, and asked him quietly in a low voice.
"I'm not sure. As a new generation, I'm not very familiar with the immortals in Liyue. Some of them are in animal form, and I don't know what they look like in their transformed form."
Zhong Rui replied half-truthfully to Hu Tao, not deliberately exposing Zhongli's identity, but preparing to enjoy a good show silently.
"What about Grandma Ping?"
Seeing that Zhong Rui didn't get any useful information, Hu Tao looked at Grandma Ping for help.
"Haha, as I get older, my memory is not as clear as before. Moreover, I have stayed in Liyue Port all year round, and I am not that familiar with the immortals in Jueyunjian."
Gechenlangshi Zhenjun smiled and shook his head. He did not answer Hutao's question, but he also did not deny the identity of Immortal Zhongli.
"Don't look at me. As I said before, my name is Gui Zhong. I don't know the people and things of this era in as much detail as you do."
Noticing Hu Tao's eyes looking towards her, she finally said and spread her hands pretending to be helpless. After all, she couldn't tell Zhongli's identity directly, right?
That wouldn't be fun. It's better to give clues bit by bit like this, and then appreciate the embarrassment and troubled expression on Zhongli's face~
