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

"Hurry up and pick a seat. Don't be shy. Just treat it as your own home." Wu Ye greeted the others who had not yet sat down.

"There is also the Great Sage Mandrill, the great sage who subdues demons. Why are you standing at the door? Great sage, come and sit here." Hutao noticed that the other party seemed to be afraid to approach Mandrill here.

"Uh...ok."

Mandrill looked away from Ying. She was sitting on the table next to the Ruyu Pavilion with her brother, chatting.

There are ten people sitting on the table over there, including Paimon, Dyne, Ape God, Changsheng, Xingqiu, Chongyun, Xiangling, Guoba, Master Mao and musician Debo Walker.

On the grass between the big table near the kitchen and the table next to the Ruyu Pavilion, there is a third table, Charlotte, Navia, Silver, Miles, Qiqi, Yaoyao, Baizhu , Xianyun, Ping'er, a total of ten people sat around.

"Great Sage, please sit over here. There happens to be an empty seat between the guest and this young man. It should be reserved for you." Hutao said.

"Uh, I...I..." Mandrill looked embarrassed when he noticed Zhongli and Wendy looking at him with smiles.

"Well, don't you want to sit with them? I heard that you are very familiar with Sora, how about..."

"No! It doesn't matter, I just sit here." Mandrill quickly sat down between Zhongli and Wendy.

After sitting down, Mandrill just lowered his head and said nothing.

"Xiao Ye, are we all here? You can say a few words to everyone, otherwise everyone will stop using their chopsticks." Wu Yong, who was sitting on the left side of Wu Ye, said softly.

"Grandpa, tell me, you are the elder."

"It's better if you tell me, because grandpa doesn't know many people..."

"Ok."

Wu Ye nodded, then stood up and raised the cup in his hand.

"To all the senior friends who have been invited, especially those who have come from afar, I, Wu Ye, would like to thank you very much for coming."

"I won't say much. I sincerely wish you all happiness, prosperity and prosperity every year."

"Please raise the glasses in front of you, and let us start our happy gathering by tasting fine wines."

"Of course, those who are not used to drinking can also substitute sweet drinks."

"Come on, cheers!"

All the people at the three tables stood up together and shouted happily: "Cheers!"

"Please feel free to use your chopsticks."

"Okay! I'm about to start!" Paimon, who was sitting on the table next to the Ruyu Pavilion, excitedly raised his chopsticks.

"Oh ho ho! I'm going to show off!!!" The ape god's eyes were shining brightly, and he was picking up food much faster than Paimon.

"Song, it turns out that this is your sister, she is so beautiful!" Xiang Ling praised Ying.

"Thank you. I was chatting with my brother just now. I also know that everyone is his friend who has helped him. I am very grateful to everyone."

"You're welcome, you're welcome. Since we are friends, there is no need to say thank you." Chongyun smiled.

"Sir, you look very cool and have the temperament of a musician." Dvorak said to Dine sitting next to him.

"Me?" Dyne, who originally wanted to play a silent role, pointed at himself in confusion.

"Yes! It feels like you are born to be a cold singer..."

"?~?!" Guo Ba stared eagerly at the golden shrimp balls placed far away.

"You want to eat this, right? Let me pick it up for you." Master Mao stood up and put four or five golden shrimp balls into Guo Ba's bowl. Guo Ba immediately shook his head happily.

"Ape God! Eat slowly, no one will compete with you!" Chang Sheng poked the Ape God.

The ape god didn't say anything. He quickly picked up the food and pointed at Paimon who had his mouth full. The other party snorted as he was not willing to be outdone.

"Brothers, sisters and uncles, let's use our chopsticks too. Yaoyao is hungry." Yaoyao, who was sitting at the table on the grass, blinked at the rest of the people at the same table.

"Haha, actually we are hungry too, so just use your chopsticks."

"it is good!"

"Qiqi, whatever you want to eat, I'll pick it up for you!"

"Want to drink...coconut milk..."

"Okay, I'll pour it for you."

Charlotte looked at Xianyun, Ping'er and Guizhu with a curious expression, "Are the three ladies all from Liyue?"

"Uh-huh, yes, Miss Charlotte." Xianyun knew Charlotte's identity from the previous chat.

"Oh! No wonder your clothes are so Liyue-like. I want to take some close-ups of you later...is that okay?"

"If this is the case...I, I, Xianyun, can agree."

"That's great! What about the other two?"

"Well, after all, are you willing to take pictures with me?" Ping'er asked.

Although I didn’t understand what taking pictures was, I still nodded.

"Are you Mr. Bai Shu?"

"Oh, this lady, do you know me?" Bai Zhu looked at Navia curiously.

"That's right, I am Navia from the Fontaine Rose Society. I heard what the Immortal Immortal said when she cured my father's stubborn illness. I heard she said that the prescription for the cure was created by you, so I want to tell you You say thank you!”

"Haha, I see, but Miss Navia doesn't need to be grateful to me. Treating patients is what a doctor should do, not to mention that I just provided a prescription unintentionally..."

Silver gestured to Mellors at the Fontaine liver in front of him.

"Myles, please try this. It's so delicious! I know this is made by Mr. Wu Ye. His cooking is several times more delicious than the chef at the Depo Hotel!"

"Really? Let me try it...it's absolutely explosive!"

The soft and delicate foie gras, like a silky ribbon, slides down the throat under the gentle touch of Mellors' tongue.

Mellors has become a gourmet. He sighed: "Such a rich and extremely delicious food, I am afraid that once you eat it, you will live a life of it, and if you don't eat it, you will live a life of it!"

Compared to the harmony and liveliness of the other two tables, the atmosphere at the table near the kitchen seemed a bit strange.

Everyone carefully ate the vegetables with chopsticks and chatted quietly...especially Mandrill, who looked embarrassed and didn't speak or pick up the vegetables.

Perhaps feeling that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Wu Yong laughed and said, "Don't be formal, everyone. I know that you are all Xiao Ye's seniors and friends. When you come here, just treat it as your own home."

In fact, Wu Yong now only knows that Zhongli and Mandrill are immortals, while Jiehu and Hou Zhang claim to be Xiaoye's newly recruited academy lecturers. As for Wendy, she says that she is an ordinary bard.

"Grandpa Wu is right. Basically, all of them are well-known big shots. They have heard of each other more or less, and many of them are acquaintances. Don't be so particular." Hutao agreed.

Wu Ye suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Zhongli, and found that the other person nodded slightly towards him, and he understood immediately.

"Taobao, you are so powerful, you can actually invite the Great Sage of Conquering Demons."

"Well, it wasn't you who asked me..."

Wu Ye blinked quickly, and Hu Tao immediately changed her mind. She looked at Mandrill and said loudly: "That's for sure! Because the Great Sage is the patron saint of Wangshu Inn and the great hero of Dihua Continent, I, Hu Tao, naturally respect me very much, so I specially invited you. Holy shit, you’re here.”

Zhongli was surprised: "It turns out that the distinguished guest is actually the Great Sage of Conquering Demons. I have admired him for a long time."

"Wu Ye didn't explain anything when he and the hall master met for a small gathering. I really didn't expect that the guests would not only include the famous Qixing and the talented old gentleman, but also the Immortal Jinpeng who maintains peace in all directions of Liyue."

“It’s a real honor to be able to gather with everyone here.”

"Uh......"

After Hut, Hou Zhang and Mandrill fell into silence for a while.
