People in Teyvat, starting from saving the grass god

in a blink.

The box that was bustling just a moment ago was now left with only Grandma Ping, Rosalind, Rhodes and Xiao.

Rosalyn: “.”

Rhodes: "."

elf:"."

Grandma Ping, who seemed to be the only one who knew the situation, laughed and said, "You young people can chat first. My disciples haven't finished their homework yet. I will come back to keep you company after I check their homework."

Done.

She walked away leisurely with her hands behind her back, her face neither red nor pale, and she had no sense of lying or deceiving anyone.

"Ugh--"

Rhodes finally understood.

Hammer's fairy gathering.

Isn’t this just an excuse for the immortals to lure Xiao into the city?

They were still there seriously discussing this and that.

No wonder Xiao remained silent the whole time. It turned out that he had long realized that these old guys were putting on a show for him.

The problem is that you guys just act out the whole thing!

What a big deal that he ran away halfway through the performance!

and also!

How about you guys teaming up to deliberately lure Rosaline here?

I don't understand.

I really can't understand!

Rod's head began to hurt.

The only thing he knew now.

The tacit cooperation between Venti and these immortals was actually to push Xiao to themselves.

What is the task that Zhongli assigned before leaving!

I'm afraid this is not the case at all!

It was probably true that they wanted to bring Xiao to familiarize themselves with Liyue Harbor, but they seldom came to Liyue Harbor on weekdays, and Granny Ping, who lived here all year round, had limited range of activities. After much deliberation, they gave the task to Rhodes, who had been wandering around Liyue Harbor with Zhongli for several days.

As for the reason.

One is that Rod and Xiao have experienced the danger of the Chasm together, and he is not afraid of karma. Another is that Rod and Zhongli have a close relationship. No matter how you look at it, he is the most suitable candidate.

"Is this your idea again?"

Recalling the smirk that Wendy had been hiding since they met today, it seemed obvious who was the mastermind behind this matter.

"The problem is you."

Rhode didn't mind accompanying Xiao to get used to his duties in advance. He didn't hide his thoughts and said directly, "I don't know whether your appearance was an accident or they did it on purpose, but since they left you here, I want to ask, what do you think?"

"ask me?"

Rosaline was so smart that she would not be deceived by the fairies' lame lies.

Therefore, her expression was the same as Rhode's. She was also confused and said, "You ask me, who should I ask?"

"."

have to.

You can tell at a glance.

Rosalin's appearance was purely an accident.

I don’t know what Wendy was thinking, but he just threw Rosaline to me.

Rhodes stroked his chin and carefully considered the expressions of the immortals just now.

It seems.

They didn't seem surprised by Rosalyn's arrival, nor did they mind having her stay.

That means they tacitly agreed to let Rosaline follow Rhodes and Xiao.

"why?"

Rhodes couldn't help but mutter.

"Maybe he looks down on me."

Rosalin heard his voice and glanced over with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

It's not easy to come out of her mouth.

Rhodes curled his lips and turned to look for Xiao. Then he discovered that Xiao was actually sitting on the windowsill seriously, staring intently at the stage below, and didn't pay any attention to him at all.

"He has been listening to the opera there since you were in a daze just now."

Rosalyn said unhappily.

Each of them is a taciturn person who is impossible to communicate with. If it weren't for the mission from Her Majesty the Queen, she really wouldn't want to stay here for a moment.

Rhode was used to Rosaline's attitude, and unlike his previous indifference to her, he invited her, "Would you like to listen to Liyue opera together? This Yunhan Society is the best opera club in Liyue. Normally, you can't listen to it even if you want to."

"Not interested in."

Rosalyn is from Mond.

Just as the people of Liyue don't like Mondstadt's poetry, she also doesn't like Liyue's Liyue drama.

For her.

Liyue Opera is a kind of weird singing style with strange accents, which does not sound as pleasant as the poems of bards.

Let her say it.

Listening to Liyue Opera is not as good as the Fontainebleau music I heard on the street that day. At least the singing can evoke people's emotions and is much more comfortable than Liyue Opera.

"That's fine."

"Let's listen first."

Rhodes chuckled and ignored the impatient Rosaline. He moved a stool and carried a teapot to sit next to Xiao. He imitated the way Zhongli had invited him to listen to a play before. He poured out two full cups, sipped the tea, and told Xiao about the repertoire in the audience.

Coincidentally.

Today's performance by Yunhan Society was exactly the same as the one that Rhodes and Zhongli watched that day.

Honestly.

Rhodes didn't like this kind of drama much before.

Ever since Zhongli took me to listen to a play last time, my interest has been piqued.

Xiao also looks similar to Rhodes.

It's pretty much the same here.

It means that he didn't listen to opera much before.

After all, most of the Liyue plays were performed in the city, and there were very few drama troupes. He made a living at the Wangshu Inn where he lived. In addition, he was often killing outside for many years, and was usually exhausted when he returned. Naturally, he had no time to care about what the mortals below were doing.

This was the first time he listened to Liyue's traditional music so seriously.

Accompanied by Rod's explanation of the music on stage.

Although he was not as obsessed with opera as Zhongli, he was also unusually calm, and the troubles that had been lingering in his heart in the past were also much relieved at this moment.

Sing a song.

Xiao's face looked much better than before, and he sighed, "No wonder the Emperor loves to linger here, there is indeed something mysterious about it."

"Mysterious place?"

"Why can't I hear it?"

Rosaline, who was bored, heard this and seemed to say something deliberately to spoil the fun.

"That's just because you're not used to it."

Rhode shrugged, and then seemed to remember something, grinning and said, "I remember you were a singer before, right? I think you are good at singing. How about this, don't you think Liyue drama is not good? Then you can also sing a song from Mondstadt for us to appreciate."

As soon as the words came out.

Rosalin's face quickly turned cold at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the frost quickly spread along the table where her fingers were. At the same time, her ice-cold voice seemed to pull people into an endless icy hell.

“I haven’t sung for years.”

Precisely.

After Rustam's death, there was no one in the world worthy of hearing her singing.

"Oh, that's how it is."

Rhode was not afraid at all. With a flick of his hand, the room, which was like an ice cellar, turned back to the warm spring weather of March. He said nonchalantly, "If that's the case, then don't stand there to spoil everyone's fun. Otherwise, I might be very interested in your singing."

Threat!

A naked threat!

However, faced with such a threat, Rosalin could only frown, then stopped talking and turned her head to the side to look at the street scene on the other side.

Successfully dealt with this spoilsport guy.

Rhodes turned around contentedly and continued to watch the next performance with Xiao.

Liyue dramas are always very long.

From the time Rod and his friends arrived to listen to the first song until the last song ended, it took more than two hours.

Coincidentally.

These are all tracks that Rod has listened to.

Never mind the tracks.

Even the order is the same.

What's even more outrageous is.

After the Yunhan Society's performance ended, the new storyteller who came on stage told the same story that Rhodes had heard before when he came to listen to the opera.

This can't be called a coincidence.

But it was obvious that someone had arranged it this way on purpose.

"The Emperor is really worried about you."

Rhodes curled his lips and complained a little.

No wonder Zhongli would waste so much time bringing me to the opera.

It turns out that he had arranged everything at that time, with the purpose of giving Xiao a more immersive opera-listening experience.

"."

Xiao knew what Rhodes was talking about. While he remained silent, he also paid more attention to the storyteller who was telling the story with great enthusiasm in the audience.

Compared to listening to Liyue Opera.

Liyue's storyteller Rosaline was obviously more interested.

She did not care about Rhode's deliberate attempt to anger her. She held the teacup and sat there elegantly, sipping tea and listening to a book, in a posture different from that of the people of Liyue.

For a long time.

When the storyteller finished his familiar verse, "To know what happened next, please wait for the next chapter," she said in a sarcastic tone, "He is just being mysterious to attract attention."

"No way, this is how people make a living."

Rhodes helped the storyteller on the stage to explain, "If you tell a story and reveal the suspense all at once, then won't anyone come to the next show? If he keeps the suspense going, the audience will naturally come on time for the next show in order to hear the sequel. By then, the teahouse will have customers, and the storyteller will be popular, and then he can make a living."

"As you say."

"Then don't these storytellers have to tell a completely new story every time?"
