“It’s very late, so I won’t waste everyone’s time. Let’s call it a night.”

Outside Xinyue Pavilion, Hu Tao looked at everyone and said casually.

“Thank you, Master, for your hospitality.”

Ying thanked.

“Yes, yes, the tea is also very fragrant!”

Paimon was also very satisfied with the meal.

Hu Tao waved his hand and said: “There is no need to say these kind words between us. Next time my hall master invites you, just remember to come again!”

“Well…let me see…”

Hu Tao took a look at the sky, then looked at everyone, “It’s hard to walk at night, so I’ll send Xiang Ling, Xing Qiu and Chong Yun back, and I’ll treat the rest of the guests to you.”

“No, no need.” Wendy shook her head, “I’m going to the sea next to meet my friends on the ship, so I won’t bother Mr. Zhongli with me.”

“Ying, you should know where the place I mentioned is, come and play with me when you have time!”

“Definitely.” Ying agreed.

Wendy looked at everyone again and smiled: “Nice to meet you all. Let’s meet again when the spring breeze blows!”

Water friends naturally know very well where Wendy is going.

“You went to the Beidou ship to ask for a drink, right?”

“This is the third time Wendy and Manyo have gotten together, hahaha~”

“I don’t know if the little grass god will come next time. It will be even more lively then.”

“I’m afraid it will be the Five Gods next time. Don’t forget that the Water God will be online soon.”

After Wendy left, Hutao also left with Xiangling and the others.

Only Zhongli, Ying and Mandrill were left present.

But before Hu Tao could go far, he suddenly turned back to Zhongli and said, “By the way, guest, remember to come back to the hall later, I still have something to talk to you about!”

“Understood, Hall Master, walk slowly.”

Zhongli nodded.

Watching Hu Tao walk away, Zhong Li looked at Ying and Mandrill, and said leisurely: “Then, next…”

“Emperor…”

Mandrill said softly.

“Just call me Zhongli.” Zhongli said slowly: “I am now in Liyue Port, living as a mortal. I am just one of the many living beings. I work at sunrise and rest at sunset.”

“In terms of seniority, Zhongli, an ordinary person, should be respectfully called the Great Sage of Conquering Demons, ‘Shangxian’.”

Mandrill said quickly: “I don’t dare!”

Ying also smiled and said: “‘Shangxian’!”

Mandrill was a little helpless, “…Why not you!”

“Haha…” Zhongli laughed rarely, “These words are not a joke.”

Seeing Zhongli actually laughing, the number of barrages instantly increased several times.

“The emperor smiled! And he smiled beautifully!”

“Indeed, it’s rare to see the old man smiling so happily.”

“Mandrill is really too shy, it’s so fun to tease him~”

Zhong Li continued: “I heard that during this year’s Haideng Music Festival, you had interactions with True Lord Gechenlangshi and True Lord Liuyun Jifeng. I think you learned a lot about the past.”

“The same fact appears differently from different people’s perspectives. As the number of recorders increases, the same story will convey different emotions and appearances.”

“I once had a conversation with a Sumeru scholar named Soraya about ancient and modern times, and I learned something about her research topic.”

“Judging from the evidence she found and the inferences she drew, the part she studied is closer to the facts.”

“But humans, as well as demons, have many sides.”

Zhongli shook his head and said slowly: “In human cultural legends, there are many demon gods who are either aloof or friendly and promising.”

“But for me, True Lord Ge Chenlangshi, True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng, or Mandrill and Gan Yu, those immortals and gods who emerged from the mortal world are more like chatting and joking companions around me.”

“That time and that scene are the same as this moment.”

“Just as mandrills are difficult to approach in the eyes of the public, it is different for phoenixes.”

“So, there are some things that you don’t need to worry about.”

What Zhongli said seemed to clear up many of Mandrill’s questions.

It’s like an elder in the family imparting principles to the new generation.

“Immortals have a long lifespan, and they may be considered peers within a few hundred years. Except for the relationship between master, disciple and upbringing, they should all be peers.”

“So please don’t put any blame on others casually (”

“Is Soraya the mission of Gu Yun Youchi’s Qing Ce Village?”

“I really like this plot. Although the emperor is no longer in the divine position, he still teaches Mandrill. This kind of feeling is very strange.”

After listening to Zhongli’s words, Mandrill also understood something.

“Emperor…Lord Zhongli means…”

“Looking at you, you probably already understand.”

Zhong Li shook his head and said: “The hall master asked me to see you off, but with your abilities, you shouldn’t need my escort. The night is beautiful, and I want to walk around.”

“After wandering around, it’s time to go back and meet with the hall master. Well… then I’ll first

One step ahead, see you all. ”

After that, Zhongli turned and left.

“Goodbye Zhongli~”

Paimon and Zhongli waved goodbye.

Then he looked at Ying again, “Everyone has left…”

“Every time after this lively atmosphere ends, I feel a little sad…”

“But fortunately, I have a daughter who will always be with me!”

“Ah, no, no…” Paimon changed his words: “It should be that Paimon, the most noble guide, will always be with you!”

“I am sincerely afraid.” Ying joked: “In the future, I will also trouble the most noble Paimon.”

“Hmph, as long as you know better.” Paimon crossed his arms and became arrogant.

After teasing each other, Paimon looked at Mandrill again, “What are Mandrill going to do next? Do you want us to accompany you around Liyue Port?”

Mandrill shook his head and said: “This stay has far exceeded my expectation. Although the lights in the city are good, it’s time to go back.”

“This happened unexpectedly, thank you for your care.”

Ying smiled and said, “We don’t have to thank each other every time.”

“Well, then…see you next time.”

As soon as Mandrill finished speaking, his body instantly disappeared from where he was.

“The Wind Wheel Liangli CD is full, right?”

“”No Sudden Wind and Wheel Standing”!”

“Will we be able to travel together next year?”

“I really hope everyone is still here during the finale.”

After Mandrill left, Ying took Paimon around Liyue Port and happened to meet some old friends.

“The vegetables are very fresh, and there are a lot of dry goods prepared. Seafood…well, no more.”

Zhongli was buying goods, and Guo Ba was watching him next to him.

And when he looked up after writing the list, he spotted Ying’s figure.

“Ah, it turns out it’s you, we meet again.”

“Are you surprised to see me here?”

“My hall master assigned me a new task. Xiangling was stuck with business in the store during the festival and had no time to play. When the hall master saw her, he sent me to help with the kitchen for a few days so that Xiangling could have some free time.”

“But when I came here, I realized that with this capable old friend here, I couldn’t seem to be of much help…”

Zhongli explained.

“♪~”

Guo Ba jumped to take credit.
