Chapter 1099 Beyond the Battle
The third day of the Rongcai Festival.
A group of people stood in the center of the commercial area, quietly admiring several paintings that were hung for display.
Wugexian was a famous poet in Inazuma, but the characters in the poem are not very similar.
"Well, the painting skills are first-rate and the meaning is extraordinary. Even if it is placed in the entire Teyvat continent, this is a rare work of art."
Zhongli stood in front of the paintings and said, "As expected of the famous Master Baichao, from a universal perspective, these paintings have indeed reached the pinnacle of meaning."
"Thank you for the compliment, sir."
Albedo and Yu Jian had blank expressions on their faces. Apart from anything else, the pressure was just too much.
Leaving aside the others, among the members present were the Rock King who "could not die any more", and the God of Freedom who was drinking heavily in front of his own picture.
These two are truly the most outrageous heavyweights.
The Fengyan ruling group came to Inazuma for a team-building vacation?
The mature and steady Rock King is fine, but is the guy next to him who is already a little drunk sure that he won’t accidentally blow the island away?
In Mond's legend, this person has a criminal record.
And considering the character of the Statue of Liberty, at least half of the story told by the bard is true.
If it is a ghost story, then it must be something that the suspect did personally. If it were in a different environment, it would definitely become the suspect's own confession.
And isn’t Inazuma a little too relaxed? Is Miaki’s face that big?
Not to mention the Three Bugyo, why is there no movement at all at the Narukami Taisha Shrine, which is headed by the gods and their followers?
Standing next to her was an inexplicably appearing executive, Tartaglia. So, why did Rosaline rush back to Liyue in order to ask Tartaglia to come to Inazuma to investigate something?
“Uncle Zhongli, Klee’s paintings are also very beautiful!”
What made the brothers' hearts beat wildly was Little Red Riding Hood hanging on Zhongli's shoulder with a fairy tale book in her hand.
Kelli, what are you doing, Kelli!
"From a general perspective, Keli's paintings are indeed very interesting. Although her brushwork is somewhat immature, she can still see a different kind of pure beauty."
Zhongli was holding Klee's little album. "Well, I heard that little Klee wants to publish her own album?"
"Yes, yes."
Keli nodded vigorously: "But Sister Xiaogong said that publishing will cost money."
"Originally, Auntie Araya said she could help, but Keli didn't want to cause trouble for others, so she wanted to find a way to make money."
Zhongli glanced at his brothers with a strange expression.
"Well, Master Chalk, what do you think?"
My goodness, is this the person who was influenced by that rebellious son? Shouldn’t this kind of self-reliant education continue after returning to his hometown?
Traveling is traveling, just like Zhongli himself would not complain about Venti being the protagonist of the portrait at this time.
Although he felt that there was nothing wrong with the drunkard poet playing himself, there would certainly be a lot of "evaluation" to be done.
"Well, our consideration is that it might not be good if the normal order is disturbed because of Klee's wish."
Albedo said: "Moreover, if Klee's wishes are granted without limit like this, it may also cause Klee to have a wrong understanding of the world."
Simply put, it is easy to lead children astray.
"Alas, he has the same character as that rebellious son."
Zhongli picked up Klee, and Little Red Riding Hood ran away to find Xingqiu and others nearby to guess riddles.
Rebellious son?
This should refer to Sanqiu.
Albedo, Cocoon: ...
Boss, please at least act a little, there are so many people around who don’t know the truth!
The word "rebellious son" made them both feel a little scared.
"I know you care about your children, and I agree that's the right thing to do."
Zhongli smiled: "But, it is also important to gather precious memories with your family during travel and remember them for a lifetime, isn't it?"
The two looked at each other, but then Albedo was defeated and looked at a helpless expression.
"Although it may sound strange to say this, it is obvious that this is... a grandparent's relationship."
"From a universal perspective, there is nothing wrong with saying this. I am just giving you some suggestions from my own perspective."
Zhongli said, "Let's make precious memories while everyone is still here."
"Even a photo or a portrait is better than nothing."
Albedo was silent. With his experience, he could perhaps barely understand the meaning of this sentence.
Carrying thousands of years of forgotten and lost advice?
"Of course, if you go out without enough Mora, with your fame and contribution to the Rongcai Festival, it is not impossible for the Three Magistrates to give you some relief."
Zhongli smiled and said, "If that doesn't work, just blame that rebellious son. He always likes to bring enough of everything when he goes out, even more than the amount, including money."
Albedo seemed to be thinking: "So Sanqiu is here too, but why didn't I see him?"
"He's still busy, but I think he'll be able to show up after a while."
…
“Clang!”
Kurumi appeared stealthily and picked up Klee from behind.
"This hall master makes a brilliant appearance!"
"Long time no see, Keli, have you missed me?"
"Sister Walnut!"
Kelly turned around and hugged Walnut's neck: "Well, Kelly missed you."
"It's really, so cute!"
Hu Tao hugged Klee and rubbed against her, and Xingqiu next to her couldn't help but cough dryly.
"Calm down. We are still outside. Don't embarrass us Liyue people."
"ha?"
Hu Tao hugged Klee and glanced at Xing Qiu: "What kind of image is it, Mr. Zhenyu?"
Xingqiu:?
"What the hell!"
"You don't think I can't read your handwriting."
Hu Tao said with a smile: "When Qiuqiu used to force you to practice calligraphy under her high-handed rule, I was occasionally there too."
"Besides, did you forget one thing?"
"The handwriting of your innate magical power after it awakened. Bored Qiuqiu ran door to door to spread the news. Why do you think I can't find it?"
"If I wasn't worried that you would lose your composure, I would have lined up when the book signing started and given you a big surprise."
Xingqiu: ...
It’s okay, at least compared to Sanqiu, Hu Tao still leaves some room for people to save face.
"Then I really thank you!"
Hu Tao stared at Xingqiu: "Teacher Zhenyu, is this how you talk to your benefactor?"
"Um?"
Faced with Hu Tao's meaningful gaze, Xingqiu instantly clasped his hands together without any sense of shame.
"Please have mercy, Hall Master Hu, and don't tell anyone about this, or Chongyun will laugh at me to death!"
"Well, that depends on your performance."
"Sister Walnut, what are you talking about?"
Klee's eyes were full of doubts: "Could it be that Brother Xingqiu has some little secret?"
"No, my mom told me that it's not okay to pry into other people's secrets. It's very rude."
Walnut couldn't help but put her little face against Kelly's.
"Woo, little Keri, did you grow up eating cuteness?"
"No, Xingqiu was just recommending the special drinks for our Rongcai Festival. He said we should be gentlemanly and queue up in a very long line to buy drinks for us."
