Genshin Impact: Zhongli discovered that he was stealing tributes at the beginning

"Hu Tao, Chongyun, come up quickly, we are just in time."

Xingqiu looked very excited when he saw the crowded scene of eating tiger rock. He liked this kind of lively scene, and he quickly greeted the two people behind him.

"Hurry up, hurry up, I heard that there are rewards for participating. You should be able to register now. Based on our regular appreciation and discussion of poetry, we can definitely get the ranking."

"Then you can participate, I will just watch. I am not used to places with too many people..."

Chongyun scratched his head and explained.

"Okay, then you can just find a shady place later and watch us dominate the crowd on stage."

Hutao was about to queue up with Xingqiu when someone pulled her back.

Hutao turned around in surprise, then returned to his normal look.

"Your guest?"

"Master, are you going to participate in the competition?"

"Well, guest sir, do you also want to participate?"

"Well, that's about it. Someone was willing to trade precious tea leaves for me to be a judge. I happened to have nothing to do, so I accepted the invitation."

"Oh, guest, please don't give me high scores on purpose just because I am the hall master. This is not acceptable. Do you understand what I mean?"

After Hu Tao finished speaking, he went to line up. Looking at the back of his hall master, Zhongli shook his head and smiled helplessly.

"This kid... maybe I should let Wu Ye come back early."

......

"Wu Ye, the Qianyan Army in Liyue Port doesn't know how to censor strangers?"

Paimon glanced at Qian Yanjun at the north gate behind him and asked in confusion.

"Well, that's true. Maybe this is a kind of self-confidence. I don't worry about outsiders messing around here."

"Indeed, in the final analysis, Liyue's gods are more reliable than the Wind God Barbatos who doesn't do anything serious as Feng Molong said!"

Paimon still couldn't help but complain.

"yawn!"

Wendy, who was happily drinking cider in the tavern "Angel's Gift" in Mondstadt, suddenly sneezed.

"It's really strange. Who is scolding me behind my back? If he dares to come to Mondstadt, he will definitely not be able to eat juice like him."

......

"So many people! Is this Liyue's 'Invitation to Immortal Ceremony'?"

Kong was a little surprised when he saw the crowds of people on Tiger-eating Rock.

"No, if it were the 'Immortal Invitation Ceremony', it would be a huge crowd of people. Most of the people in Liyue Port would be crowded on the Yujing Platform."

"Then what are they doing here?"

"Isn't it obvious? Look up at the banner hanging in the air."

Everyone looked up after hearing this.

"Seven days later, the first "Poetry Appreciation Conference" will be held here. I hope that the people of Liyue and guests from all over the world will actively participate in this event - Yamoxuan, May 14th."

"Wow! Anyone who participates can take it!"

Paimon thought carefully, then looked at Sora with excitement.

"It seems that today is May 20th in seven days, travelers, why don't we join in too!"

"Forget it, we are new here, so we better not stand out too much. Besides, Paimon, do you know poetry?"

"Um...Okay, let's just watch the fun on the side."

Seeing Paimon looking a little disappointed, Wu Ye smiled and said:

"How about I participate on behalf of everyone, and when I get the mora, I invite you to go to Wanmintang to have a taste. Well, Wanmintang is the most cost-effective hotel in Liyue Port, and the food there is both affordable and delicious."

"Okay! Wu Ye, don't worry, no matter how you perform, we will applaud you in the audience!"

Paimon rubbed his hands happily, and the ape god had begun to clap.

"I... still don't feel comfortable in crowded places. I'll find a place with fewer people to wait for you."

"Wait, Shen He, let me accompany you. Let's find a higher place to watch. Anyway, your and my eyesight should be pretty good."

"it is good."

Shen He nodded, and then she followed Sora towards the Jade Capital Terrace, while Wu Ye and Paimon smiled at each other in tacit understanding.

"By the way, is Kong so gentle to everyone?"

"Um, Traveler... I tell you secretly, you must not let Traveler know. Traveler only treated Noelle like this when he was in Mondstadt, oh, and Spark Knight—— Keli."

"I see. Then I'll line up to sign up now. There are so many people in front of me."

Wu Ye looked up and looked at the stage. Since the people in front blocked his vision, he could only see Li Sishu standing on top arranging the contestants, but the three figures sitting behind him could not be seen temporarily. who is it.

"You two should find a place closer to the stage. You must abide by the rules and laws, especially you, the ape god, come back quickly!"

Wu Ye warned.

Paimon nodded, and the ape god, who was about to blend into the crowd and have a friendly exchange with strange humans, suddenly lost his energy after hearing Wu Ye's words.

"Okay, Wu Ye, go ahead. As long as I'm here, you won't let the ape god cause trouble."

Paimon put his hands on his hips and said in an imposing manner, which was met with a cold snort from the ape god.

"Okay, you two, please pay attention. If there is any trouble, Paimon, just shout my name loudly. Then I'll go."

......

"Hu Tao, have you decided on what poem to use? Do you want it to be your own? Or someone else's?"

Xingqiu turned around and asked while standing in the bustling competition team, but Hutao lowered his head and did not respond.

"walnut?!"

"Oh! Xingqiu, what are you talking about?"

"Well, I just want to ask you which poem you are going to use to participate in the competition later. Are you... feeling unwell? If so, please don't force yourself. I can win the competition alone. "

"It's okay. I have already thought about it, Master. You will know it later."

Hu Tao remembered the poems Wu Ye had read to her before and decided to use her favorite one among them.

……

"Auntie?!"

Chongyun, who was sitting on the railing of Yujing Terrace and eating popsicles, heard footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw the person coming and exclaimed.

"Chongyun, you are here too."

"Aunt Shen He, we agreed last time that you would come to my house as a guest, but you disappeared in the blink of an eye."

Chongyun jumped off the railing and walked quickly to Shen He and Kong.

"I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to visit, it's just that I didn't expect that in this world... there would be relatives. I'm not mentally prepared yet."

"It doesn't matter. The elders in the family were very happy when they heard that you were still alive. Before, they thought you had... Anyway, they prepared gifts and planned to choose a good and auspicious day to get together with you, but I usually I haven't seen you anywhere..."

"That's good, I'll go with you tonight."

"Okay! It's settled. After watching the conference later, I will go back and tell my family."

"Well, who is this?"

Chongyun was extremely happy when he heard Shen He's promise. When he calmed down, he noticed the blond boy standing next to Shen He.

"Hello, my name is Kong, a traveler. Nice to meet you."

"Hello, my name is Chongyun, a Tianheng alchemist. Nice to meet you too."

Chongyun shook hands with Kong, and then a kind-hearted old woman came. The old woman pushed a trolley. On the trolley, there was a steaming teapot and four teacups. She looked at Kong and the three of them and smiled kindly.

"You three children, why don't you drink some tea and accompany me to watch the excitement below."

"Uncle Ping."

Shen He bent down and saluted seriously.
