The cultivation record of the original demon in Teyvat continent

If this continues, the funds provided by the young master will definitely not be enough!

————————————————————————

In the early morning, after saying goodbye to Qianyanjun, Xia Yu and Dragon King Ruotuo embarked on the journey to Liyue Port again.As if he was deeply saddened by the changes in Liyue over the past thousand years, Dragon King Ruotuo's pace slowed down a lot as he looked around at the surrounding scenery.

He must have been thinking about things and recalling the past scenes... The knowledgeable Xia Yu also slowed down his pace and followed quietly.After a while, Ruotuo Dragon King finally stopped with a long sigh.

"Little friend Xia Yu, after thinking about it for so long, plus the panic expression I witnessed last night when Qian Yanjun saw me, I think it's better to wait until I spend a day to stabilize my soul and transform into a human form before heading to Liyue. Let's go to Hong Kong." Dragon King Ruotuo, who had a hint of loneliness in his words, was immediately recognized by Xia Yu.

"I'm sorry King Ruotuo, I thought of things a little too simply..."

Indeed, in Xia Yu's consciousness, most of the monsters that can communicate have become harmless existences for humans and animals, so after arriving in Liyue, he followed this method and applied it to the ancient rock dragon lizard. On the body of Ruotuo Dragon King.

From a theoretical perspective, there is no problem, but from a practical perspective, all the monsters in Mondstadt are tiny little guys. The only two special cases are Frozen Tree and Doolin. One is unable to move for the time being, and the other has taken the form of a cute little girl like Keli. The first impression of these monsters does not bring about emotions such as fear.

But the Ruotuo Dragon King is different... Even with his own guarantee, the ancient rock dragon lizard's towering shape of more than ten meters is no joke. Even the Qianyan Army saw such a behemoth for the first time. Time's reaction was to immediately retreat and notify the upper-level combat forces, not to mention the reaction of ordinary people when they saw this behemoth.

Also, when such a huge body enters Liyue Port, although it is possible to cross the covered bridge from the northern entrance to Liyue by wading, the stone brick floor roads laid in Liyue Port are a bit difficult for Ruotuo Dragon King. too small.

I can't get in, I can't get in no matter how hard I try...

It must have been the expressions of the Liyue Qianyan Army soldiers last night that made Ruotuo Dragon King have such concerns. "In this case, let's set out to find a suitable place to rest. Let's wait until Dragon King Ruotuo can transform before entering Liyue Port." Xia Yu made the suggestion and nodded while looking at the huge Dragon King Ruotuo.

Going all the way south, they arrived near a small settlement located in the south of Guiliji. Just as Xia Yu and Ruotuo Dragon King left the main road and were preparing to climb Tianheng Mountain, a familiar blond figure and a white-haired little guy appeared in Xia Yu's field of vision.Ying and Paimon, who came out of Liyue Port and pointed north towards Mondstadt, were accompanied by a Liyue man dressed in brown and black clothing.

"Hey, Ying, Paimon." Xia Yu greeted the two of them and attracted the attention of the other party.Yingyu Paimon was shocked when he noticed that he and Ruoduo Dragon King were at first, and then he sighed as if he was used to this scene.

After the successful rendezvous, Pai Mengzi carefully looked at the ancient rock dragon lizard transformed from the Ruotuo Dragon King. After flying in a circle around the Ruotuo Dragon King, which was hundreds of times bigger than her, he stopped at Xia Yu. Paimeng in front of him sighed: "Xia Yu, this rock dragon lizard is too big compared to the monsters you raised in Mondstadt!"

"This is not a rock dragon lizard, but the incarnation of the Dragon King Ruotuo of the Liyue Immortal Family." Xia Yu, who was introduced by Paimeng and Ying, startled Paimeng who originally seemed very cheerful, and simply chose the one who could In the narration part, Xia Yu, who told the two about Ruoduo Dragon King, found that Paimeng seemed to be frightened by what he had just described.

"Ah!? Sorry, sorry! I thought the situation was the same as Mond's at that time...this immortal family?" Paimeng apologized frantically and secretly glanced at the motionless Ruotuo Dragon King from the corner of his eyes. When he found that the other party was not angry, Paimon finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The leisurely atmosphere finally gave everyone a chance to chat. It seemed that they wanted to introduce Zhongli to Xia Yu. When he turned around to search for the guest of the Palace of the Past, he was surprised to find that Zhongli was still beside him just now. I don't know when it disappeared.

"It's strange...Xia Yu, have you seen the tall, thin, black-haired man with a particularly calm temperament next to me and Paimon?" Xia Yu understood with confusion written on his face. He came over and realized that the tall and thin man he saw just now was not an illusion.

But in such a short period of less than 1 minute, not only did this man lose his trace, but even Ruotuo Dragon King stopped walking and sat there blankly.I don't know what happened to the man who followed him, but Ruotuo Dragon King most likely held his breath and fell into meditation to start to recover his soul.

Nothing should happen to Ruotuo Dragon King. Xia Yu shook his head towards Ying and said, "No, Ruotuo Dragon King and I planned to wait for him to transform into a human form before entering Liyue Port, so we came here. The scenery was pretty good at first. , Secondly, you can also see the whole view of Liyue Port, so it should be very suitable for Ruotuo Dragon King to choose the resting position here."

Looking at Xia Yu's eyes, Ying also understood that it was her turn next.

"We are going to go to the cauldron of the meat tribe in Dadapau Valley to boil stones." Ying Yu Paimeng gave the result and Xia Yu couldn't help but spit it out with a 'poof' sound.

"What kind of stone does it take to travel such a long way to cook it? If you rush from Liyue to Mondstadt and back again, maybe two weeks will pass if you speed up the whole journey, right?"

Xia Yu's disbelieving look fell into Ying's field of vision. She could fully imagine why Xia Yu was like this and Ying sighed helplessly.

How should I explain to Xia Yu that I can use the anchor point of Teyvat Continent to move quickly... There is such an anchor point in Dadapau Canyon. If Zhongli hadn't insisted on following him to Mondstadt, he would only have to teleport. Just go to that anchor point, there is no need to go all the way back north to Mondstadt like now.

"I don't know why Mr. Zhongli is so insistent. I just heard him say that the quality of the 'Zhuzhao' grade Yepo stone can be judged by heating it..." He told Xia Yu's story about his experience in the past half day. Xia Yu then set up the big pot he carried with him.

"Xia Yu...what are you doing?"

"Do you still have to ask? Boil the stones."

————————————————————————

The Immortal Sending Ceremony and the Visitor Zhongli from the Rebirth Hall... In Ying's description, in addition to having a particularly bad concept of money, he was as knowledgeable as an encyclopedia and why he followed Ying to the Mondstadt area. Xia Yu generally has made his own guess.

First of all, the cauldron owned by the Qiuqiu people of the Dadupa Valley is indeed somewhat unique. The stone boiling must be done there.

However, this view was quickly overturned by Xia Yu.

The Qiuqiu people who are fond of meat like and admire eating meat every day. To them, the big pot is really just a heating container, that is, a container for cooking three Yebo stones. In fact, it can be replaced.

In other words, this visitor from the Palace of Purity actually wanted to leave Liyue for another reason.

"Morax!!!" Ruoduo Dragon King suddenly shouted, startling Xia Yu.Fortunately, the stove had already been set up, so the roar of Ruotuo Dragon King, apart from being a bit scary, did not have too much impact on Xia Yu.The figure of Toruo Dragon King, whose voice was full of anger and traces of unknown emotions, began to shrink rapidly.Finally, he settled on the appearance of the black-haired man in Tang suit when he first met Xia Yu.

"Finally... it's done." Ruotuo Dragon King, who squeezed his hands hard and felt the transformation of his form, did not show too many expressions of joy and sorrow. Instead, he looked towards the north of Tianheng Mountain.

"Little friend Xia Yu, please wait for me for a moment. The old friend I need to find...has been found! You go to Liyue Port and wait for me. I will come to you after we talk about old times with him."

After quickly explaining to Xia Yu, Ruotuo Dragon King turned into a stream of light and disappeared from the sight of Xia Yu and the others without waiting for the three people to react. His swift movements seemed as if the target would escape if he slowed down even a little bit. .

This...that is to say, Mr. Zhongli, the guest of the Hall of Rebirth who came here with Ying and Paimon, actually slipped away to the north?

Xia Yu was even more confused because he had communicated with Dragon King Ruotuo and knew that the only person who could make Dragon King Ruotuo become so excited after being sealed for thousands of years was the rock god Morax himself.

Isn't the Emperor Yan Wang dead?Yesterday, I watched him fall like a salted fish on the Yujing Platform with my own eyes. Whether it was observing through the elemental vision or feeling the heavy aura emanating from the Immortal Body of the Rock King, the Immortal Body was real. Undisputed fact.

Then you can only think from another angle.Dragon King Ruotuo was offended by the way of seeing the emperor off at the Rebirth Hall, so as a guest, he slipped away first after realizing that something was wrong?The more he thought about it, the more Xia Yu felt that this statement was tenable.

The most obvious evidence is the three Yepo stones that are being heated in the bath water in his pot.

Who is Ruotuo Dragon King?Elemental creatures used to live in the underground filled with rock elements and minerals, so for Dragon King Ruotuo, the quality of the ore could be seen with just one glance.

But now... As a temple with a long history of organizing the ceremony of sending immortals, the Rebirth Hall can't even distinguish the most basic Yepo stone suitable for the ceremony of sending immortals. This kind of behavior is in a world filled with the King of Rocks. For Liyue, this was simply intolerable behavior.

What's more, this Emperor's Chef is the Dragon King Ruotuo who was given eyes by the Emperor himself?Although there are thousands of years of grievances that need to be vented, personal relationships are about personal relationships, and work is about work in formal situations.This kind of sloppy work attitude and professional ability cannot satisfy the somewhat 'yandere' Emperor Chef.Therefore, it is natural to have a "friendly exchange of greetings" after being caught up.

After telling Ying and Paimeng his thoughts, Xia Yu found that they seemed to agree with him for some reasons.

"Let me just say, there must be something wrong with Mr. Zhongli's weird consumption concept." Paimeng, with his hands on his hips, looked proud. "You said 'I want them all' but I didn't bring a Mora with me. The Emperor Yanwang's ceremony of sending immortals was so sloppy. It's normal to be chased by immortals all the way~"

Chapter 74 The Immortal Sending Ceremony, Dragon King Ruotuo and Zhongli reached an agreement

Ignoring the chasing Dragon King Ruotuo and Mr. Zhongli from the Hall of Rebirth for the time being, Xia Yu and the others focused all their attention on the Yebo stone slices being heated in the water bath in the pot.

As a professional chef, Xia Yu is quite familiar with cooking chicken, duck and various ingredients, but this is the first time he has done such a strange thing as cooking Yepo stone.Looking helplessly at the Yepo stone slices tumbling in the boiling water pot, Xia Yu couldn't figure out the rationale for doing so no matter how much he thought about it.

Looking at the two people who were also observing, Xia Yu asked: "Ying, Paimon, did Mr. Zhongli from the Hall of Rebirth tell you what will happen when this thing is heated?"

"Of course!" Paimon looked extremely confident with his hands clasped in front of him. "Because Yepo Stone is a strange stone used for lighting at night, the method of judging Yepo Stone is also very simple. High-quality Yepo Stone will have a better affinity for the fire element. In a high-temperature environment, the blue light will be more obvious. The grade of Yebo stone is also better.”

"But because the sample we got is too thin, if we throw it directly into the fire and burn it, I'm afraid it will be burned to ashes before we can see it clearly." Ying on the side added to Paimon's words. "So after consulting Mr. Zhongli from the Palace of Life, his advice to us was to put it in water and heat it."

After explaining, the two of them found that Xia Yu's gaze towards the night stone in the pot had become subtle for some reason. Judging from the suspicious look in his eyes, Xia Yu didn't seem to agree with this approach.

What is he worried about?Confused, Ying asked Xia Yu: "Um... Xia Yu, do you think there's anything wrong with doing this?"

"I just think that if it is heated in water, wouldn't the influence of the water element be far greater than the high temperature when controlling variables?" The answer she got from Xia Yu made Ying a little dumbfounded.

"And if you are really afraid that the Yebo Stone will burn to ashes, you only need to control the distance between the Yebo Stone and the fire..." Xia Yu, who fished out the Yebo Stone from the pot, placed the Yebo Stone on a tree. On the branches of the fork, he slowly began to approach the fire.Within a few seconds, a translucent blue light suddenly emanated from the thin slices of Yebo stone.

"Ah... it's bright, it's bright!" The Ye Bo Stone, which was as clear as blue crystal, made Paimon a lot more excited. The yelling little guy quickly approached the Ye Bo Stone to take a closer look. However, because of the high temperature of the flames, he took several steps back. Paimon's anxious look made Ying chuckle for a moment.

"Don't be so anxious. Since these three Yepo stones are of the highest quality, it is inevitable that they will shine." Yu Ying, who noted the brightness of the Yepo stones in his mind, nodded to Xia Yu and took the Yepo stones out of the pot one by one. After taking it out and conducting a brightness test, another confusing question lingered in the mind of the blond girl.

The look on Mr. Zhongli's face was so serious when he first mentioned the ceremony of sending immortals to him, and he was obviously a little bit sad when he mentioned that Liyue Qixing had forgotten this ceremony.There is no doubt that even if the ceremony of sending an immortal is not more formal and grand than the ceremony of inviting an immortal, all aspects of the preparations should be quite rigorous.

Even running back and forth to Mondstadt would take a long time, which would undoubtedly delay the preparations for the Immortal Deliverance Ceremony. Why did Mr. Zhongli propose to go so far away to the Dadaupa Valley? Didn't the local government oppose it?

If you are afraid that the reaction between the Yebo Stone and the fire element will harm the town and residents, wouldn't it be enough to set up a fire outside the city like this...

If you think about it carefully, the target of the Fools should be the God's Heart of the Rock Spirit just like Mond. Although Mr. Zhongli is a guest at the Hall of Rebirth, he was recommended to him by the "Gongzi", the executive of the Fools, after all. of.Maybe it would be beneficial to the fools to extend the time it takes to send immortals?

But Mr. Zhongli’s heartfelt pride when he mentioned the contract and Liyue, a country that walks with the gods, was not an act at all. It showed that he really loved Liyue, a country that was connected with the gods. How to sort it out... Ying, who felt so dizzy, threw all these troublesome things out of his mind within a few seconds.

Anyway, I was present throughout the whole process of preparing for the Immortal Ceremony. Judging from the difficulty of this first item, the things that need to be done later are definitely not simple.What's more, Zhongli's concept of Mora's value was so bad that he couldn't agree with it at all.

It would be better if the soldiers came to cover up the water and the earth... Feeling tired, Ying sighed.The next step is to go to the boss of Jie Cuixing to buy the brightest sample type of night stone.

However, how long will it take for Mr. Zhongli, who is being chased by immortals, to come back...

————————————————————————

"Boss, give us this small sample type of night stone."

Back in Liyue Port, under the fiery eyes of the owner of Jie Cuixing Store, Ying handed over the selected Yebo stone sample.

"Okay~, you guys are really generous with your actions!" The fat boss with a smile quickly pushed a whole box of night stones that had been prepared in front of the three of them, and then gave a thumbs up and praised: " There are fewer and fewer wealthy bosses like you, who can buy a whole box of Zhuzhao-grade Night Po Stones in one move, so I wonder how you plan to settle the bill?"

Considering that this whole box of the highest quality Yepo stones would definitely not be cheap, the blond girl who took out the money bag directly handed the whole money bag to the fat shop owner, and then asked: "Boss, what are you doing?" Let’s see if these are enough first?”

"This..." The smile on the face of the shop owner who opened the money bag suddenly froze. "Sir, although this pocket is filled with the largest denomination of Mora currency, it is used to buy this candle-grade Yepo stone..."

Although the store owner hadn't finished speaking, the embarrassment in his tone still made Ying realize that the mola he gave was probably not enough.

There are only so many public funds provided by the fools!I only have a little bit of Mo La that I earned from the Longji Snow Mountain commission to use for food, clothing, housing and transportation, so it is obviously inappropriate to borrow money from Xia Yu next to me.

"Then...I will keep this box of night-stopping stones for the time being. Why don't you go ask Mr. Zhongli from the Hall of Purity that I followed last time..." The shop owner seemed to be mid-sentence. He seemed to have noticed something, and his eyes were full of worry when he looked at the three of them.

"I wonder if I can ask you a question. The only thing I can think of to connect Yebo Stone with the Rebirth Hall is the Immortal Delivery Ceremony. In addition, there is the highest standard of Zhuzhao level and the King of Rocks who has been spread throughout the city's gossip. The news of the assassination, could it be that..." Looking at Ying, who paused for a moment and nodded, the shop owner's face suddenly fell, and his eyes were instantly filled with sadness.

"I didn't expect it to be true... ugh." The shop owner, who seemed to be feeling melancholy, actually had a hint of crying in his voice. He sighed and adjusted his mentality a little, then looked at his hands. His eyes on the money bag also became much calmer.

"If it is the Emperor of the Rock King, these molas are enough." The shop owner who no longer cares about the number of molas makes Ying open his mouth in surprise. You know, he has secretly seen what the molas in this pocket are. How many are there? The Mora coins with the largest face value are probably

"But, this is obviously too different..." The blonde girl was interrupted by the store owner's raised hand before she could finish her words.

"Needless to say, everyone in Liyue Port is able to live a good life today thanks to the care of Emperor Yanwang. Without Emperor Yanwang, how would there be businessmen like us who can live smoothly? This box The Zhuzhao-grade Yebo Stone can be considered my stone’s farewell gift to his old man.”

As if because he was too sad, the shop owner who lifted up his sleeves and gently wiped the corners of his eyes lost interest in continuing to shout and solicit customers. He moved to a small bench and sat down. He put his hands on his forehead and lowered his head. Trembling slightly.Trying his best to suppress the sadness, he didn't seem to want to continue talking.

"Wow... I didn't expect him to be so sad. It seems that Emperor Yanwang occupies a very important position in the hearts of Liyue people..." After sighing, Paimeng looked at the whole box of Yebo stones. After hugging Xia Yu, Paimeng scratched his head as he didn't know what to do for a moment.

The ceremony of sending immortals was originally carried out by Zhongli from the Hall of Purity with himself and Ying, but now Mr. Zhongli has disappeared because he was chased by Dragon King Ruotuo...

"How about... let's send this box of Night Po Stone to Yujing Terrace first?" Just as Paimon put forward his suggestion, a familiar figure appeared in everyone's field of vision again.

Although Zhongli, who walked with Ruotuo Dragon King, still maintained his indifferent expression, the slight damage to the corners of his clothes seemed to indicate the true status of some problems.

Looking back at Ruotuo Dragon King, compared with his previous aggressive appearance, Ruotuo Dragon King calmed down and looked like the big brother next door, full of reliable temperament.Of course, this is based on the fact that if you can ignore the little blue-haired girl hanging on the back of his neck...

Why are we separated again? ?Xia Yu was in a daze when he saw the two consciousness clones of the Dragon King at the sealing place of the Dragon King Ruotuo. "Dragon King Ruotuo, what are you...?" Xia Yu asked, his tone full of confusion.

"If you are in Liyue Port, please call me Kunjun, so as not to attract too much attention." The extremely embarrassed Ruotuo Dragon King spent a lot of effort to remove the blue-haired conscious body biting his neck. .

"The explanation of the whole thing is a bit complicated... Generally speaking, it is because I saw that Mr. Zhongli from the Hall of Rebirth was so unfamiliar with the grades required for the items of the Immortal Ceremony, so I couldn't do it for a while. Control the anger in your heart. The two consciousnesses that were originally intended to be merged separated again because of the anger after they merged in memory."

"The difference from the original is that now the two consciousnesses have basically synchronized their memories. Because of her guilt for the past, Ajiu gave up the control of her body to me. With her current consciousness, she Keep moving.”

"Because there are a lot of deficiencies in my memory, and I don't know if the ritual of sending immortals has changed in the past thousand years, after a good discussion with Mr. Zhongli, we will carry out the things needed for the ritual of sending immortals. If it is completed, there should be no oolong situation like Yeboshi in the future."

Can it still be like this?

After listening to Ruotuo Dragon King's explanation, Xia Yu was filled with emotion and got angry just because of the mistakes in the details of the preparations for the ceremony.Sure enough, the immortals are all fanatical chefs of the Rock King... Even Ruotuo Dragon King, who has been sealed by the Rock King himself for thousands of years, is the same.

For some reason, the consciousness of the little blue-haired girl named Ajiu looked at Kunjun, who had now become the main consciousness, with a disdainful expression...

————————————————————————

After carrying two large boxes of night-stopping stones to Yujingtai and putting them down, Xia Yu waved his arms and looked at the Yujingtai venue that had begun to take shape after the ordinary workers in Shengsheng Hall were busy. It felt like revisiting the old place. Xia Yu let out a long sigh.

The departure of Emperor Yanwang not only affected Ying who wanted to search for the truth of the incident, but also interrupted his own channel for understanding intelligence.

At the moment, the only information I have is the information I got from several immortals. After sorting it out a little, I came to the conclusion that there seems to be more than one 'Heavenly Law'.

"Well, the Yebo stones are all pretty good." Zhongli nodded as he observed the Yebo stones piece by piece. "The next step is to find the most powerful carver in Liyue Port to carve these stone amulets into the artifacts needed for sacrifice."

"But if we find the most powerful craftsmen in the city, it will cost a lot of money..." Ying, who originally wanted to stop him, stopped after seeing Xia Yu shaking his head slightly with a frightened expression. Come down.

Phew...what a risk!Fortunately, Ying understood her prompt... Xia Yu, relieved, couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the blonde girl's mechanism.

You know, Dragon King Ruotuo chased Zhongli for such a long time just because of the selection of Yebo Stone. In front of such a fanatical and twisted Rock King Emperor Chu, he said something similar to lowering the standards of the Immortal Sending Ceremony. It's not impossible that he will be taught a lesson as soon as he leaves Liyue Port.

"If you want to listen to a play, you need to buy the most popular actress, if you want to walk a bird, you need to buy the most expensive thrush - this is life. What's more, this is preparation for the ceremony of sending immortals, so all the necessary things must be prepared." Zhongli explained his ideas and listened. Xia Yu, who was watching the play from the sidelines, was stunned for a while.

As if he remembered something, Zhongli scanned the blond girl's body but did not find the money bag he expected. "I see..." Zhongli, who understood, continued, "I will go to 'Young Master' to explain the situation regarding the funding. There is no need to worry about this."

"Next, we have to buy some neon flowers."

Chapter 75 They do their thing, we eat ours

The tragic accident of Qingxian Dianyi caused Xia Yu's goal of coming to Liyue Port to disappear immediately, and because of the presence of Ruotuo Dragon King in the group traveling together.When safety can be guaranteed to the greatest extent, Xia Yu has nothing to do when he is free.

It seems that there is still a lot of preparation work for the ceremony of sending immortals. The news from Qixing is also carried out by Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun and other immortal families. For some reason, Ruotuo Dragon King has lost interest in the news about the assassin of the emperor. .Right now, Ying and Zhongli are going to purchase colorful flowers, and it doesn't seem to make much sense for him to follow them.

Besides, I have seen the colorful flowers myself. In the flower beds on both sides of the road in Liyue Port, the bright red flowers blooming in clusters do smell quite fragrant. It is also very easy for people to associate it with cotton, but for this reason, neon flowers are not as suitable for brewing scented tea as glass lilies.

Since you have time, as a chef, how can you not try the local delicacies when you come to the capital of a country?I had heard before that Liuliting and Xinyuexuan in Liyue Port, as representatives of Licai and Yuecai, each account for half of the market in Liyue Port. Since they have come here, they naturally want to try it.

Then he went to Huyan for a walk and tried the craftsmanship of Wanmintang Xiangling's father. After looking at Ying and Paimeng who seemed to be planning on going the same way, Xia Yu made up his mind and spoke. To: "I won't go shopping for colorful flowers. Next, I plan to go to Liuliting and Xinyuexuan. As a chef, I haven't been to Liyue Port for a day or two. I don't want to go to these two places to try them. How can their food be good?”

"Chef... In terms of common sense, these two places are indeed must-visit places." What Xia Yu didn't expect was that the person who took over his words was Zhongli from the Hall of Purity, who was bowing his head in deep thought. Ke Qing's face seemed a little embarrassed, and he didn't seem to agree with him going to these two places.

"If you don't make a reservation in advance at Liuliting and Xinyuexuan, you won't be able to dine. Even if you make a reservation on-site, the dining time will usually be two or three months later."

What! ?After listening to Zhongli's explanation, Xia Yu was completely dumbfounded.

In order to ensure the quality of the dishes, advance reservation system is not uncommon in modern times, but the waiting time of two or three months is indeed too long for me. "Is there no other way?" Xia Yu asked Zhongli, feeling confused.
