But he never thought that before he opened his mouth, Zhongli sent out an invitation: "Today the emperor was killed, it is not suitable to drink alcohol, do you want to have a cup of tea together?"

Speaking of Dijun's murder, he actually looked a little regretful... It's just that his dull face really couldn't set off his acting skills.

It is an invitation, but the courage it shows makes people unable to refuse.

Xia Tian smiled and nodded: "I am very happy, there are many things I want to ask sir."

The two of them knew each other well, and went down the stone steps with their front and rear feet.

Leave Yujing Terrace, cross Langfang Bridge, and come to Feiyunpo.

The news of the emperor's death was blown into thousands of households like the wind, and it was quiet for a while.

Children's cries can even be heard on the street, and many vendors have no intention of doing business and closed their stalls hastily.

"Dijun's departure may make Liyue sad for a long time." Xia Tian felt it, and deliberately used "leave" instead of "passed away" or "assassinated".

"People's sorrow may last longer than expected, but for Liyue, it's just a short moment." Zhong Li didn't show any mood swings, and spoke politely.

Xia Tian took out two silver moras and bought a candy from the peddler who was about to close the stall.

He walked up to the crying child on the side of the road, peeled off the candy and handed it over.

The child didn't take the candy, his eyes were full of tears, his vision was so blurred that he couldn't see his big brother's face clearly, and he sobbed sadly: "Is the emperor really dead?"

Xia Tian smiled and comforted him: "How could the great emperor die? He just wanted to be lazy and wanted to leave for a while."

In this way, the child timidly took the candy and cried: "Really? Will the emperor come back?"

"Well, I will come back." Xia Tian felt that his words were not convincing enough, so he invited Zhong Li to confirm: "Mr. Zhong Li, do you think Emperor Yan Wang will come back?"

"The emperor is the foundation of Liyue. This point will not change no matter what era, no matter how many times in the past." Zhong Li also walked in, pampering the little girl's hair: "As long as Liyue continues to exist, the emperor will not disappear."

The little girl could only understand half of Zhongli's words, she wiped away her tears and clenched her fists: "I will definitely protect Liyue and wait for Dijun to come back!"

This is just a trivial episode.

The famous things in the sea are all pure and fresh, as bright as the moon, precious and sweet.

【Xinyuexuan】located in Feiyunpo, is the most famous "Moon" restaurant in Liyue Port.

From the fish-shaped signboard at the gate, it can be seen that this is the most authentic restaurant in Quanliyuegang, which specializes in seafood "monthly dishes".

As an authentic moon restaurant, Xinyuexuan's dishes are based on pure fresh seafood, covered with light broth, to maximize the freshness and sweetness of seafood, and it is a place that travelers who love seafood must go to taste.

However, due to the limited number of daily reception tables at Xinyuexuan, if you want to eat at Xinyuexuan, you must make a reservation at least three months in advance. Therefore, if you want to taste Liyue's top seafood, the take-out service may be a better choice.

It's such a difficult place to book, yet Zhongli led Xia Tian to the most luxurious private seat grandly.

And no one stopped him, he seemed to be a regular diamond VIP customer.

Looking at the gold lacquer, mahogany, or silverstone decorations along the way, Xia Tian only feels that Liyue is really a good place for rich people.

Zhongli doesn't like seafood, but occasionally he chooses to come here for this elegant room.

Ancient style and charm, there are chessboards, zithers, and top tea sets for making good tea.

Take a spoonful of the best "Yuehai Tea", and boil the water through a charcoal fire, and the fragrance will instantly fill the room.

His proficient skills made Xia Tian's eyes fixed on him, and he was amazed.

When the tea is brewed, fill it up with a small cup and move it to the front of Xia Tian.

The two of them knew each other well that Zhongli would no longer be tricky, and they didn't need to introduce any more, so they said bluntly, "I feel the breath of an old friend in you, is that correct?"

"Probably." Xia Tian has Wendy's "God's Heart", so naturally he never thought that he could hide from the Emperor "Zhong Li".

It's just that the God's Heart, which was clearly agreed, is the authority of the seven gods to govern, but after Xia Tian got it, he could neither summon the wind elements nor influence Mond.

I took a lonely one and wanted to return it several times, but I couldn't find Moyushen.

As if memories were brought back, Zhong Li chuckled lightly: "That alcoholic who has nothing to do with the word Fengya... how is it doing?"

"It should be pretty good." Xia Tian said honestly: "But in fact, I haven't seen it for a while."

About half a month, maybe for Zhongli, it's just a flick of a finger.

Zhong Li lightly cupped the hot tea, smelled the fragrance of the tea, and took a sip: "You came to Liyue, but is it His request?"

"I came here to find two friends, Ying and Paimon." Xia Tian shook his head, and then explained further: "It has nothing to do with him, definitely not a spy or a bad guy."

Just kidding, if Ying and Paimon unfortunately go wrong with the script, I will explain it to them first.

"Since that drunkard can hand over the heart of God to you, he must trust you very much." Zhong Li raised his eyes and looked directly into Xia Tian's eyes: "Of course I will believe you... Although that person is full of lies words, but He has always been very accurate in seeing people.”

"As for the friend you mentioned...Ying, it sounds like a girl's name." Zhong Li played with the earring with his index finger, thoughtful.

Speaking of Ying, Xia Tian brought a smile: "Well, a very reliable girl, recently embarked on a journey to find her brother."

"Reliable..." Zhongli smiled, as if he had a new plan: "We can meet you sometime."

This smile is a bit strange, and Xia Tian can't help but speculate deeply... Could it be because of my words that Zhongli asked Ying to help prepare the "Send the Immortal Ritual"?

That's really the case, Xia Tian has become the hero of the shrinking of the world line.

The small talk time is over soon, it's time to get down to business.

Zhongli put away his smile and became serious: "You seem to have something to do with me?"

A wave of calm prestige, knowing that there is no hostility, but it still caused a chill down Xia Tian's spine: "It is true that I am confused and want to be cleared."

Zhong Li interrupted first: "Before that, I would like to ask, do you know what I want to do?"

"Because my girlfriend is an astrologer, I probably guessed a little bit." Xia Tian thought of a pretty good reason, but with Mona's astrology level, it probably can't be considered as a creature of the level of Lord Yan.

After getting an affirmative answer, Zhongli did not hesitate to say his purpose for inviting Xia Tian to come here: "Then forgive me to be frank... I want you not to interfere in Li Yue's affairs!"

I want you to stay out of Liyue's affairs.

There is no smile, it is a request and an order.

In words, under the tone, there is no option for Xia Tian to refuse.

An inexplicable sense of oppression struck, Xia Tian swallowed his saliva, picked up the small teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

Tea is like wine, giving you the courage to ask in detail: "Can I ask why? Even if I intervene, it shouldn't destroy your plan."

Just like in Mond, Xia Tian squeezed into the protagonist's team and gave help appropriately, which not only saved time, but also reduced the danger.

But Liyue's business is simpler, it's nothing more than doing a ceremony to send immortals, all of which are running errands like collecting things.

Wouldn't it be nice to have one more person to help, and it can be done faster and better?

But Zhongli chose to refuse: "I don't know where you are from, but I can feel that you are a special person."

He expressed his concerns: "I'm not sure what impact your meddling will have, maybe it will be better, maybe it will be worse..."

"These unstable factors may derail the plan. I don't want to face such randomness." Zhongli's words were firm.

This was a plan he had considered for a long time, maybe decades, before he made up his mind to implement it.

As the Emperor Yanwang, he wants to completely entrust Liyue to the hands of "people", as Yu Heng Xing Keqing expects, to become "Liyue ruled by people".

But first, it must be confirmed that the Liyue Seven Stars and the people of Liyue have this ability, so they intend to create a disaster to test it.

Facing Zhongli's request, Xia Tian hesitated: "Can I refuse?"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Don't interfere in Liyue's affairs, let the people of Liyue rely on their own strength to face challenges.

In terms of general rationality, this request is reasonable and achievable, but starting from personal sensibility, Xia Tian can't choose to avoid it.

If everything goes well, everything is fine.

But in case there is a slight deviation... that kind of event, Xia Tian absolutely does not allow it to exist.

"It's impossible for me to see my friend in danger and ignore it." Of course, he would not be arrogant enough to think that he could change the situation of the battle or solve Liyue's challenges alone.

But at least he should be with them, at least he should stand in front of them.

When the tea in the cup was empty, Zhong Li refilled another cup.

Hold the bottom of the cup with both hands, and rub your thumbs back and forth to feel the roundness of the porcelain.

"I can guarantee that no one will be harmed in the disaster... so I hope you don't interfere." His words were noncommittal.

This is the tone of the second request, there is no third time... If Xia Tian refuses again, as the emperor, it is very likely that he will choose another way, so that Xia Tian has no chance to intervene.

No one was harmed, this is Zhongli's guarantee.

Xia Tian is quite skeptical that with this emperor's common sense, does he really understand what the standard of harm is for mortals?

But the emperor's attitude is firm, and there is no need for too much head-to-head at this time.

Changing his thinking, Xia Tian smiled: "Since the emperor said so, how else can I choose, of course I agree."

A contract is very important to Dijun and Liyue... but to Xia Tian, ​​it is far less important than the safety of friends.

If there is an accident at that time, even if the contract is broken, even if you have to face this god who has stood at the summit of Liyue for thousands of years, you will not be afraid.

Temporarily choosing to accept this request is a bit of a grievance, and I have to get something back.

"Dijun Yanwang is famous for his "contract", so can I take this as a kind of contract between you and me? "Xiamen tentatively asked.

As the god of contract, Zhongli nodded affirmatively: "Naturally, the agreement between the two parties is the most direct and original contract."

"The rule of the transaction is the contract, and the criterion is fairness... This is what the emperor taught Liyue thousands of years ago..." Because of the unhappiness of the compromise just now, Xia Tian acted a bit forcefully: "If our agreement is a contract, then fairness is necessary Make it up?"

"Unfair contracts cannot exist." Zhong Li put on a new cup of tea and heated up the charcoal fire.

This can be regarded as an opportunity given by God, and there is no reason to pry Lord Yan's mouth open.

Xia Tian said: "Since I promised you, I should also get the benefits of the contract and get what I want."

It is very dangerous to talk about conditions with unequal status.

For example, in many TV dramas, it will appear that you want to negotiate with the black boss, and then the black boss smiles and nods, turns around and shoots you.

But Zhongli is not the boss of the black, and the godhead of Emperor Yanwang can still be trusted.

Zhong Li filled up the summer teacup, sprinkled the rest of the tea on the tea tray, and the aloes of ancient pear wood could not be exhausted.

Loudly said: "Please tell me, although I can't guarantee that I will tell you everything, but if it is not necessary, I will not hide anything."

What I was waiting for was your words, Xia Tian held the teacup tightly, and immediately asked, "What is the Empress of Solstice Winter looking for?"

There was tension in the words, and he almost crushed the teacup. Hearing the sound of "creaking", he hurriedly let go.

As if expecting it, Zhongli smiled and replied quickly: "This involves the content of another contract, I can't tell you."

Sure enough...

Xia Tian had already guessed that this would happen, even if he knew the thoughts of such gods, he would not be able to reveal them easily.

But...why another contract is involved?Is there any contract between Rock God and Ice God?

Without too much entanglement, I settled for the next best thing and chose another more realistic requirement.

It was also what Xia Tian wanted to obtain in the short term, and his words softened: "Master Rock King, can you teach me the "Cave Heaven Technique" mastered by immortals? "

A man can bend and stretch, and now that he asks God, his tone becomes flattering.

"It's better to call me "Zhongli". As for the art of cave..." Zhongli smiled and asked with interest: "Do you want to create your own small world? "

Without hiding anything, he nodded immediately: "Well, I want to create a place where everyone can live happily."

If I can have a soul-stirring life like "saving the world and becoming a hero", I certainly look forward to it.

But you can't ask for it.

Being able to protect the people around him and give them happiness, this is what Xia Tian can take the initiative to grasp and achieve.

When it comes to the word "happiness", Zhongli thinks deeply: "Making everyone happy...it should be impossible."

It is precisely because this cannot be done that "Sky Island" has given authority to let the "Seven Reigns of the World" bring happiness to the people in their own ways.

Zhongli chose the "contract", making Liyue the brightest part of Tivat, but are the people of Liyue enjoying life happily?

Maybe most people do, but every time he sees workers who have fallen due to hard work, soldiers who have been injured to protect Liyue, businessmen who have betrayed their relatives and friends for profit... These are good or bad, which makes Zhongli feel more and more: Let everyone Happiness is an impossible thing.

Xia Tian scratched his head in shame: "It's a bit general."

He explained: "I mean everyone, including only the people I like, and the people who like me... After all, human power is limited, and I want to do my best."
