Chapter 26 Discussing the Emperor over Tea, Sending Meng to Fish
Sensing the fighting spirit of the young people, Uncle Tian smiled gently and encouraged them, "Great, I look forward to your performance."
Encouraged by Uncle Tian, Paimon dared not delay and continued his actions in order not to lose face.
She sat steadily on a rock and began her preparations.
Paimon, pretending to be a fishing master, mixed various baits together in any proportion he pleased.
Immediately afterwards, full of confidence, she happily hooked the bait onto the fishing line and cast it out.
It was done in one go, very well, very skillful.
However, to everyone's surprise, once the hook fell into the water, the bait seemed to have an irreconcilable hatred for the water and immediately cracked open!
The next second, the clear water became increasingly murky, making it difficult to see what was happening inside.
"Hey, the bait's scattered... Fish, hurry up and eat!"
Paimon frowned, staring blankly at the water.
School of fish: Do you want to try this? What kind of weird bait mix is this?!
Ying, standing to the side observing, was completely stunned by Paimon's series of actions...
"Paimon, are you catching fish by poisoning them...?"
"Hehe... It was a small mistake, don't worry about it!"
Seeing that Paimon had made the water muddy, Uncle Tian feigned anger and said, "There's a technique to mixing bait... Don't just mix it randomly and throw it into the water, or it will make the water muddy."
After saying that, he carefully began to teach Monk how to fish.
Hall of Rebirth.
After explaining everything to Zhong Li, Hu Tao stretched and relaxed.
As luck would have it, she caught a glimpse of Qiqi sitting in the chair out of the corner of her eye.
Seeing Qiqi whom she hadn't seen for a long time, Hu Tao smiled happily.
"Oh my, Qiqi, it's been so long! Did you miss me?"
"Qiqi, I miss you, but you're not here."
From the moment Hu Tao entered the room, Qi Qi thought she had a very low profile and didn't need to deliberately avoid being seen, but she never expected that Hu Tao would still see her.
After hearing what Qiqi had just said, Hu Tao was initially delighted, but then became suspicious.
"Qiqi, you must have said something wrong..."
With a wicked grin, Hu Tao reached out her devilish claws and approached Qi Qi.
"Qiqi, I miss you so much."
Seeing the aggressive walnut, Qiqi helplessly pursed her lips and was forced to compromise.
Haha, just kidding!
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Hu Tao covered her mouth and smiled, then happily patted Qi Qi's little head.
After feeling the warmth from Hu Tao's palm, Qi Qi finally slowly lowered her guard.
Liyue Harbor, main street.
Walking along the road, Xunfeng moved forward aimlessly.
Unbeknownst to him, he arrived at Yu Tea House, where Zhongli often drank tea.
"I'll give it a try and see what's so appealing about drinking tea."
With this thought in mind, Xunfeng stepped inside.
"What can I do for you, sir?"
A waiter saw Xun Feng walk in and quickly greeted him.
"Hmm... a pot of black tea will do."
Xunfeng responded with feigned indifference and profoundness.
"Alright, please have a seat, sir."
After watching the enthusiastic waiter leave, Xun Feng casually found an empty seat by the window and slowly sat down.
"Hmm...this atmosphere is indeed quite relaxing."
Xunfeng surveyed the teahouse's exterior, noting dozens of neatly arranged round wooden tables. Not far away stood a large birchwood bookshelf, filled with various ancient books, exuding a scholarly atmosphere.
Just as Xunfeng was engrossed in his observation, the waiter quickly walked up to him with a pot of tea, put the teapot down, and left.
Hearing the noise, Xunfeng snapped out of his reverie and began to savor the taste of the tea.
Upon opening the teapot, a fragrant aroma of tea wafts out, truly refreshing and delightful. The tea has a dark, lustrous color, a rich, deep red liquor, a high and sweet aroma, and a full-bodied flavor.
Xunfeng gently poured the tea from the pot into the cup, and then slowly picked up the teacup to carefully savor it.
It has a sweet initial taste with a subtle bitterness. The flavor is refreshing, delicate, and silky, rich and delicious, and its warmth makes the whole stomach feel comfortable.
The more Xunfeng drank, the more he felt that Zhongli really knew how to manage his life.
Just as he was immersed in the charm, several middle-aged men suddenly walked in from outside the door. They chatted as they walked and eventually sat down at the table near Xunfeng.
After ordering two pots of tea, they continued chatting.
"Tell me, how did our Rock King Morax come up with such a brilliant idea? Using Mora as currency for transactions is truly unprecedented and will never be repeated."
Old Bai said with a look of admiration.
Upon hearing this, Old Black confidently replied, "Is there any need to ask? His Majesty the Emperor has thought things through carefully before he created Mora. I suppose he values Mora very much."
Hearing him say that, Old Lan chimed in, "I guessed it too. In my opinion, His Majesty the Emperor even regarded the Mora as treasures after creating them!"
Xunfeng, standing to the side, sipped his tea while listening to their conversation.
Xunfeng had only intended to listen for a few minutes to pass the time, but when Lao Lan mentioned that Morax regarded Mora as a treasure, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of tea.
Because the two tables were very close together, Xun Feng's movements were naturally seen by the others.
"Young man, we are discussing the esteemed Emperor, why are you laughing?"
Old Lan was the first to express his dissatisfaction.
"Me?" Xun Feng realized his behavior was inappropriate and had no choice but to make up a lie on the spot.
"No, no, don't misunderstand, I just got burned by the tea. But I do think Morax doesn't really value Mora. After all, Mora is created to be spent!"
Xun Feng expressed his opinion with a helpless expression.
"To be honest, I greatly admire the Rock King Emperor. I have been studying his history for over twenty years. I have never heard of your idea before. Do you have any evidence to support it?"
Old Lan looked at Xun Feng with hostility.
"As for the basis... there isn't one. I'm just stating the facts."
Xun Feng shrugged and then grinned.
"You... dare to question my opinion without any evidence?" Old Lan looked at Xun Feng, who seemed so naive and inexperienced, and asked with slight anger, "Come on, do you understand Prince Yan or do I understand Prince Yan?"
Xunfeng didn't want to argue with him, and since the tea in the teapot was finished, it was time for him to leave.
"Goodbye, loyal fans of the Rock King Emperor."
Xunfeng smiled secretly and said goodbye.
"you……"
After going out.
As luck would have it, just as Xun Feng was about to head home, his gaze was drawn to a figure walking towards him from afar.
Xun Feng looked closely and realized that the person was Gan Yu, whom he had met a few days ago.
"Hi! Gan Yu!"
Upon encountering an acquaintance, Xunfeng quickly and enthusiastically waved.
Although they had only met once, Gan Yu recognized Xun Feng upon hearing his voice.
"Xunfeng... Hello. I'm going to find Tian Shu Star. Sorry, I can't stay too long."
Gan Yu explained in a soft voice, without showing her teeth.
Upon hearing the words "Tian Shu Star," his interest was instantly ignited.
After all, he also wanted to meet one of the Seven Stars of Liyue.
So he suggested that he and Gan Yu travel together.
Meanwhile, by the river.
"Hey...right, right, that's it. Paimon, you're quite a quick learner."
Uncle Tian nodded with satisfaction and praised Paimon.
"Ah...hehe, it's all thanks to your excellent teaching, Uncle Tian!"
Paimon was embarrassed by the praise and subconsciously scratched the back of his head.
"Paimon, can't you understand what Uncle Tian is implying?"
Ying leaned close to Paimon's ear and whispered a reminder.
