[Ying: When Wendy saw that something was not right, she changed her words instantly and successfully concealed Xingqiu's hidden identity as the Pillow Jade. Look at you, Paimon, the turn of events was too abrupt.]

[Hu Tao: That's right, little Paimon, your EQ is too low.]

[Paimon: Oh, I didn’t react for a while.]

[Kamisato Ayato: Even if Paimon wasn’t there, I don’t think the Great Sage could have kept it a secret. His behavior is too suspicious.]

[Otto: Yes, this little girl named Hu Tao is very smart. She guessed that Zhongli’s real identity is not simple, but she also knew that asking directly would definitely not yield any results, so she organized such a dinner party during the Lantern Festival.]

[Otto: If you look closely, you will find that the guests include most of the factions in Liyue - Xiangling represents the common people, Xingqiu represents the members of the Chamber of Commerce, Chongyun represents the exorcists, and even Xiao, who represents the immortals, is invited. From the details of these factions' attitudes towards Zhongli, we can infer which faction Zhongli is more closely related to.]

[Otto: The result is obvious. Xiao reacted the most. However, Hu Tao probably wouldn’t think of Zhongli as the Emperor directly. She might think of him as a special immortal.]

[Arataki Ichito: Wow, you guys are too cunning.]

[Xiang Ling: Exactly. Exactly. Can’t we just have a normal holiday dinner with friends?]

[Qiana: Ignore these guys who are full of conspiracy and intrigue. Don’t you think it’s funny that Venti and Zhongli pretend not to know each other? I just like watching them being sarcastic to each other, but not daring to really reveal each other’s identities.]

[Tesla: This is the god of wind. His main job is to be a bard, and his secondary job is to be one of the seven rulers of the world.]

[Qingque: I was so amused by the look on Wendy’s face when she saw Zhongli. It was very meaningful and it was obvious that he was going to cause trouble. It was amazing that Ying could hold back from laughing.]

[Sambo: Hu Tao can write a book called "My Emperor's Subordinates", which will definitely sell better than "Shen Qiu Picking Up the Sword Record".]

【Wendy: “Eh——Is that so——”】

[“I have heard of Mr. Zhongli’s name. I heard the guests in the tavern talking about a well-mannered young man who came to the best tavern in Mondstadt but refused to drink and instead ordered a cup of hot tea with a difficult-to-pronounce name.”]

[Zhongli: “…Now that you mention it, I remember it. It seems that there is such an artist in Mondstadt. It is said that he is elegant and easy-going, and his works are lively and vivid. It is not an exaggeration to call him the best bard in Mondstadt.”]

【Wendy: “Oh, I’m embarrassed by what you said.”】

[“In fact, Mond’s poetry as a whole is just so-so, and the level of creation is limited. For example, I heard a poem a few days ago: The old house is renovated, welcoming the spring breeze, blowing away old memories. The meaning is indeed conveyed, but the wording is too common, and there is no literary talent to speak of.”]

[Kumi: "Indeed, the writing is a little off. If I were to write it, I would probably write it like this—"]

[“An old melon on the vine, but it has blossomed on the top.”]

【Wendy: "Oh, what a great poem! Unique conception, and easy to recite!"】

[Hu Tao: "I was right. This Wendy guy has good taste! Handshake!"]

【Wendy: "Handshake, handshake!"】

[Zhongli: "..."]

【elf:"……"】

[Xiangling, who was standing by, had already begun to doubt her own literary ability. ]

[Yun Jin: Xiangling, you are too honest. Don’t believe everything others say.]

[Xiangling: I was right. Walnut and Wendy can definitely become close friends.]

[Paimon: The drunkard poet and the social loser started to brag about each other commercially.]

[Star: The leaders of Liyue and Mond met and had in-depth exchanges on issues of common concern in the fields of art and culture.]

[March 7: Xing, have you listened to the Interstellar Peace Report too much?]

[Gui Naifang: It would be great if I could be there, and post a post titled "Feng Shen's Sharp Comments on Mond's Poetry", I would definitely gain a lot of followers.]

[Su Chang: You, you really are always thinking about gaining followers.]

[Sambo: Is Venti secretly complaining about Zhongli's slacking off in the end? It's really funny to see these two gods sabotaging each other.]

[Maple Leaf: This poem was written by Lord Zhongli, right? The translation is that Liyue has entered a new era. Welcome to come and have a chat.]

[Paimon: Thank you, I understand now.]

[Not long after, Wendy began to complain: "Come to think of it, I saw you guys entering Xinyue Pavilion one after another, but no one noticed me standing nearby. Should I say that I hid too well, or that some people ignored the news..."]

[Zhongli: "Haha, every time the Lantern Festival comes, Liyue Harbor is bustling with people."]

[“Everyone is busy admiring the lanterns and shopping. When the mood strikes, it’s inevitable that people will go out on an impromptu trip. No one can predict what others will do.”]

[Then he began to serve tea instead of wine.]

[Xiao looks even more embarrassed: “Uh.”]

【Ying: “Xiao!”】

[Xiao was startled: "Why are you panicking!?"]

[Ying: "I ate too much, can you go for a walk with me?"]

【Xiao is relieved: "Okay."】

[After the two left, Wendy and Zhongli were still talking. ]

[Zhongli: "This new friend sounds like he knows a lot about wine."]

[Wendy: "No, no, I can only drink for fun, I can't compare to Mr. Zhongli."]

[“Luckily we’re drinking tea this time, otherwise if I can’t hold my liquor and get drunk and say something nonsense, wouldn’t that make Mr. Zhongli, whom I’ve just met, laugh at me?”]

[Zhongli: "No, no. You are the guest invited in by Hall Master Hu. How dare I laugh at you?"]

[Hu Tao: Let me translate Zhongli’s words: There are so many people here, how would I know you would come?]

[Hanabi: You could be more straightforward - who would bother with you if you're busy?]

[Sambo: These two gods have started to praise and criticize each other again. I would like to call them the first bad friends of Teyvat.]

Chapter 72 The Most Distinguished Guest of the Football Contest (4k)

[Raiden Mei: It's obvious that Wendy and Zhongli have been friends for many years. Although they are busy with their own things and don't see each other often, they feel uncomfortable if they don't say a few words to each other when they meet. But once the other is in trouble, they will do their best to help.]

[Ying: "I can't drink much", "We just met not long ago", you two are so funny. ]

[Kaiya: It is true that there is no punctuation mark in a sentence.]

[Qiana: There is an old saying in Shenzhou: You are a thousand-year-old fox, why are you playing Liao Zhai with me? It is very suitable for this scene.]

[Paimon: The street singer didn't drink because he was worried that he would get drunk and go crazy, and then be punched back to Mondstadt by Zhongli.]

[Sambo: Haha, Xiao finally met the Rock King and the Wind God.]

[Hanabi: It's a pity that the other gods are not here, otherwise they would all offer tea to Xiao one by one, which would be so impressive.]

[Funina: Alas, being too popular is also a kind of trouble. Who made me so popular?]

[Yae Shenzi: Haha, Ying Ke would never do such a thing. It is possible that we can learn from Xiao and give him some advice on martial arts.]

[Nashida: Um... Unfortunately, I can't leave the Jingshan Palace at will.]

[Kaeya: Fortunately, there is a highly emotionally intelligent traveler here, so Xiao escaped this disaster.]

[Paimon: What are you hinting at?]

[Barbara: I can relate to Xiao’s feelings.]

Barbara felt her brain tremble just imagining Lord Barbatos toasting her.

[Hua Huo: When Ying called his name, Xiao was startled and asked her why she was so nervous. It was hilarious.]

[Lord Liuyunjiefeng: It has been a long time since I have seen such a great sage who conquers demons.]

She felt that her store of story material had expanded.

She could even imagine a conversation like this:

Xiao: I'm going to go out and show off my skills... No, I mean I have two wind wheels... No, I mean uh...

Ying: He said he couldn't hold his liquor. Paimeng, you pour a bowl for everyone, Xiao and I will go get some fresh air.

[After leaving Xinyuexuan, Xiao looked at Ying: "Are you okay?"]

【Ying: "I should be the one asking you this."】

[Xiao fell silent: "I... can't put it into words."]

【Ying: “You’ve never seen this scene before?”】

[Xiao shook his head: "It's not a matter of the situation."]

[“In the past, there were many immortals who liked to get together and chat. They would invite everyone to drink and have tea together from time to time. I was also dragged to join them many times. However, the immortals have their own strengths and most of them are arrogant and speak directly from their hearts. They don’t have... so many tricks.”]

[“And this time…”]

【Ying: "I understand. It's all Zhongli's fault."】

[Xiao: “That’s not what I meant!”]

[After a few more words of conversation, Xiangling found them because they had not returned yet, and gave Xiao a bowl of almond tofu as a thank you gift.]

[Young Master: Beware of Liyue's drinking culture.]

[Gui Naifen: The Great Saint who conquers demons gives a sharp comment on Liyue’s drinking culture.]

[Xing: There are riddlers all over the table, I don’t understand.]

[Qingque: Think of Xiao as a grassroots leader who has to work overtime during the Chinese New Year, and is suddenly called to dinner by a little girl whose ancestors are friends. After making up your mind to give up your vacation to visit friends, you suddenly see the old chairman of your company sitting in the vice-chairman's seat to toast you. After a while, the boss of the neighboring group also comes to toast you, saying how great you are. And you yourself are also a person with severe social phobia, and you have no experience in accompanying people to drink. It is torture to stay in this scene for one more second, and you may even want to die.]

[Huo Huo: I am already starting to feel uncomfortable.]

[Tail: Tsk, stand up straight.]

[Sambo: No, it must be Zhongli who did it.]

[Paimon: Xiao reacted strongly when Zhongli was mentioned. I'm a little curious about how Xiao would react if I told him it was all Venti's fault.]

[After returning to Xinyuexuan, Hu Tao decided to do something with a sense of ritual. ]

[Because the incense in the incense burner was almost burned out, she decided to let the most distinguished guest here to light the incense for everyone. It means endless life, and she wishes everyone a prosperous and ever-changing new year. ]

【Wendy: "I see, what a good image, you are indeed Master Hu!"】

[He pointed to Zhongli, who was standing aside with his arms crossed, looking at the screen: "Then speaking of the most distinguished guest here... it must be Guest Official Zhongli."]

[“I am not very familiar with the stories about Ke Qing, but after chatting with him just now, his knowledge and insights really opened my eyes, even for a bard who has traveled all over the world.”]

[“If knowledge can be considered power, then Keqing can be said to be extremely powerful.”]

[Zhongli: "As for the level of speaking, the great poet is indeed better. I just have a better memory. I admire your eloquence for being able to speak so well of such a mediocre ability."]

[“Speaking of which, everyone can nominate a candidate… I naturally think that the hall master should be allowed to continue the incense.”]

[Aha: I recommend Walnut.]

[Xing: Wendy’s camera movement made me laugh to death—there is only one truth!]

[Qiana: The head-to-head confrontation between Venti and Zhongli, it seems that Zhongli's desire to kill is rising.]

[Sambo: I can’t help it. It’s normal to lose control of my emotions when I meet such a great Yin-Yang master.]

[Kaeya: As the god of wind, it makes sense for Venti to be able to spread fire.]

[Gui Naifang: What is the god of fire?]

[Qingque: Burning incense is a way of worshipping the gods. It is self-evident who the god of Liyue is. If you let Zhongli light the incense, it will be like burning incense for yourself.]

[Hu Tao: He has faked his death, so maybe he is holding a funeral ceremony for himself and burning incense for himself. I guess it’s nothing.]

[Yae Shenzi: Xiao’s face is full of can’t see me, can’t see me, haha.]

[Hu Tao: "Oh, no, you are just trying to flatter your boss. We have already said that we want to invite distinguished guests, so how can I, the host, be included in the list?"]

[“Since we have a delicious meal, why not let Xiangling, the only chef here, cook.”]

【Xiangling: "Hey, is that how it's calculated? But I didn't cook this meal!"】

[Hu Tao: "It's a small problem. Look, Xiangling, the direct disciple of the immortal, the companion of the stove demon god, the champion of the Moon Festival Chef Competition, the only heir to the famous Wanmintang restaurant, and one of the old friends of this hall master, isn't that qualified?"]

【Xingqiu, Wendy, and Chongyun applaud Xiangling and then put their hands together.】

[Paimon: "Uh, why do I feel like the reputation is getting worse the more I talk about it..."]

[Xingqiu: Chongyun, you're a beat slower, haha.]
