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

When Wu Ye woke up in bed, the sky outside began to darken.

Wu Ye sat up and found that he had put on a new set of clothes. He lifted the quilt and got out of bed and walked out of the room.

He casually dipped his hands in water and wiped his face, then walked out of the house.

Along the way, he greeted the guests and stewards who were coming and going from the Hall of Purity, and then came to the guest hall.

"Xiaoye, you're awake."

"Well, grandpa, hasn't the ape god come back yet?"

"No, I thought Monkey Immortal was staying with you."

Wu Ye shook his head and smiled: "It seems that he won't be able to come back tonight. What about Hu Tao?"

Wu Yong pointed in the direction of the kitchen: "Xiao Tao, she said she would cook dinner for us with her own hands. Oh, this child is so cute."

"what?!"

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay, Grandpa, I'll taste it for you first when we eat later."

Wu Yong was stunned. It seemed that the food Xiao Tao cooked was quite dangerous.

"Xiao Ye, no matter what you do in the future, you must pay attention to your own safety, do you understand?"

"I know. In fact, Hu Tao and I went out yesterday just to talk sense to others."

Wu Yong's face was full of confusion: "Be reasonable? Are others willing to listen?"

Wu Ye blinked: "I really don't want to listen. After all, the other party has his own beliefs. It is easy to kill the thieves in the mountain, but it is difficult to destroy the thieves in the mountain."

"Well, as long as you understand this."

"Grandpa, I won't ask you any more questions. In short, you must ensure your own safety and protect Xiaotao. Do you know?"

Wu Ye nodded heavily: "Grandpa, I understand!"

"That's good. Grandpa will go to the kitchen to check on Xiaotao first. I'm worried that she will be splashed by the hot oil."

Wu Ye poured himself a cup of hot tea and just took a sip.

"Wu Ye, we are here!"

"Oh, it's Sora and Paimon. Have you eaten? Let's have a cup of tea first."

Wu Ye took out two clean cups and poured tea into them.

Sora sat down and took the tea cup with both hands: "Not yet, at first I planned to eat a bowl of Zhongyuan offal, but then Paimon said he wanted to come here to eat."

Paimon also took the tea cup and took a sip.

"Hi~! So hot!"

She quickly put down her teacup and spoke coherently.

"There are many benefits to coming here to eat. Firstly, we can connect with everyone, and secondly, we can share our experiences yesterday."

"Lastly, and thirdly, the travelers and I can have a free meal, which saves a lot of money."

Wu Ye rubbed his chin: "So, this is Paimon's ultimate goal?"

Paimon nodded quickly: "Yeah, so Wu Ye, are you going to cook now? I'll help you."

"No, Hutao is the chef this time, and my grandfather is helping her in the kitchen. Let's share yesterday's experience first."

"Let me tell you first. Yesterday, when you were helping us stop the Fools' soldiers outside, I, the Ape God, and Shen He were underground..."

After Wu Ye finished speaking, it took more than ten seconds for Kong and Paimon to come back to their senses.

Paimon poked his chin with his hand.

"It seems that the executive officers of the Fools are very powerful. Whether they are the 'Master' or the 'Lady', they are currently our more difficult opponents."

Kong took a sip of tea: "I heard that there are 11 executive officers of the Fools. I always feel that I will meet them in the future, but I don't know if they are friends or foes."

"Well, let's talk about the future later." Wu Ye turned to ask, "What about you? How did you feel after having a fight with the young master?"

"I feel that he is a talented fighter born for fighting. He will rationally choose the timing of attack and retreat, and choose different strategies and fighting methods according to the battle situation."

Wu Ye was surprised: "Song, it seems that you have a high opinion of him. Was it the ape god who went to fight with you at that time?"

Paimon on the side spoke out.

"No! The ape god was watching from the side and said that he would help if the traveler couldn't defeat him."

"As a result, the traveler single-handedly beat the devil-armed young master to a pulp, and then he ran away."

"Paimon...you", Sora looked at Paimon who looked proud, as if she was the one fighting with the young master, "you should be low-key."

Paimon scratched his face and smiled awkwardly: "Uh, hahaha, I know."

"Is there anything else worth caring about?"

"Yes." Kong took out a letter. "This is what the young master left behind when he escaped. I have read the contents. It is a letter from home. You can read it."

"it is good."

Wu Ye took it with both hands and opened Dadalia's home letter.

"Dear little sister, how are you at home recently? Is the old man's headache gone?

Please say hello to my parents, brothers and sisters for me.

I sent some medicine to treat cold headaches from Liyue Port. It is very useful and can make him stop nagging for a few days.

It should arrive in a few days. Apart from the old man’s things, I will certainly not forget your gifts.

Along with the letter, I entrusted you with two Liyue kites, a rattle, two porcelain dolls produced by Dao Wife, and a box of various snacks.

Also tell Anton that the residents of Liyue Port are human beings like us, not stone people, and they don't eat stones, which is boring.

Tonya, please don't be anxious and don't be naughty at home.

I am about to go home. As I said, after I pick off the seven stars in Liyue and give them to Her Majesty the Queen, I will take the first batch of ships back.

I always do what I say.

Your loyal knight. 』

"Well, I've finished reading it. This letter home should have been written in advance, but is there anything special in it?"

Wu Ye suddenly realized.

"Oh! I understand, you want to use the names in these letters to personally attack Dadalia next time you fight him, right?"

Paimon waved his hands quickly: "No! After reading it, the traveler and I felt that Master Dadalia is a filial person. We think that no matter how bad he is, he will never be too bad, so we plan to return this family letter to he."

Wu Ye shook his head after hearing this: "Having filial piety has nothing to do with whether a person is bad or not, or how bad he is."

"Having filial piety can only mean that the other person is good to his family, but it doesn't mean anything. The two things cannot be confused."

"I think whether a person is good or bad, the most important thing is to evaluate it from your own perspective."

"Even if a very vicious person saves me, then in my eyes he is a good person, but for those who were hurt by him, they would definitely want to cut him into pieces."

Sora asked: "What if the other person needs your help when he encounters difficulties? For example, when he is being chased by others and he asks you for help, what will you do?"

“Don’t add insult to injury.”

Wu Ye smiled lightly.

"Of course, this is just my current understanding, and it may be a very wrong idea."

"However, just think of me as providing you with a new way of thinking. It is also a good thing to think more about problems when you encounter them."

Paimon picked up Dadalia's family letter: "Then do we still need to return it to him?"

"I need it! Of course I need it! Let the other party owe you a small favor, and then find an opportunity to blast him with gold coins!"

Sora and Paimon looked at each other, confused.

"Explode his gold coins?"
