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

"Oh, let me tell you why today's almanac shows that everything is unfavorable. It turns out that the "Snack Freeloader" is here. Are you here to find the "Big Freeloader"?"

Huaian, the shopkeeper of Wangshu Inn, was sitting on the counter, holding a book in his hand and reading with gusto. When he heard the sound of footsteps, he looked up and saw Wu Ye walking over. He immediately put away the book and started talking in a weird voice.

The "freeloading of snacks" in Huai'an's mouth refers to Wu Ye, and the "freeloading of snacks" naturally refers to Jiang Xue.

"Ah ha, I haven't seen you for a few days, and the shopkeeper has become a lot better at talking. No wonder the boss once said that he was willing to marry you because you are sweet-tongued and quick-handed."

"Boy! You can't drive casually!"

Seeing the angry look on the shopkeeper's face, Wu Ye quickly took out a cloth bag and threw it to Huai'an.

"There are one hundred thousand molas in it, which is considered as the cost of eating and drinking here a few days ago."

"Hey! I just said that the almanac is not trustworthy. Well, I underestimated you. Wu Ye, wait! It's your own, but what about your master's?"

"Then you can go find him, I don't have any money anymore!"

After saying that, Wu Ye only left Huai'an with his back, and he walked down to the big kitchen.

"This boy is pretty good at being a good person. It seems that Jiang Xue still has a good eye for accepting a disciple."

"I searched for him thousands of times in the crowd, but suddenly I looked back..."

Huai'an directly put the bag away and did not check the number of molas in the bag, but continued to recite "Yu Wen" in his hands.

"Uncle Yanxiao! Are you cooking?"

"Oh, Wu Ye?! Why are you here today free? Aren't you going to practice on Qingyunding Mountain?"

While Yan Xiao was preparing ingredients in the kitchen, he heard footsteps on the stairs. He turned back and looked up at the person. When he saw it was Wu Ye, he stopped what he was doing.

"No, I'm going down the mountain for training now. I happened to pass by here and wanted to visit Uncle Yanxiao."

"Come on, just don't come to my kitchen. You used all the ingredients left for the guests to practice cooking for yourself. The shopkeeper was so angry that he deducted half of my salary."

"Haha, this is indeed my problem. Uncle Yan, let me help you. I see there are quite a few customers down there."

"No, it's not like you don't know. I usually only cook for the distinguished guests of the inn or the immortal who occasionally appears upstairs. There is also a kitchen on the first floor, which is responsible for cooking for other guests."

"Besides, you want to find your master, right? He should be fishing on the bank opposite the inn."

"Okay, Uncle Yan, then I'll go find Master."

"Yeah," Yan Xiao nodded, "Oh! I almost forgot to tell you!"

"what?"

"I just asked the traveler to help bring food to your master. You may meet him later. Remember to make friends with others. I can tell at a glance that the other person is not an ordinary person."

"What?!"

Wu Ye exclaimed, grabbed Yan Xiao's arm tightly, and asked excitedly:

"Uncle Yan, does that traveler have golden hair, and does he have emergency food with him? Oh! He is a little white creature that can fly and talks a lot."

"Well, Wu Ye, have you met each other?"

"So to speak, I'm going downstairs first."

Wu Ye walked out of the kitchen in a hurry, then suddenly turned back and asked:

"By the way! Is that traveler a boy or a girl?"

......

"Traveller, I feel like the people in this inn are not simple."

"Well, Paimon, you are so slow. Did you realize it now?"

"What?! I thought you didn't notice, so I wanted to tell you."

Kong picked up the lunch box that Yanxiao handed to him, and then said in a persuasive manner:

"Then Paimon, how did you figure it out? Is it based on intuition?"

"Humph, that's definitely not the case."

"Think about it. As soon as we entered the inn yesterday, a maid told us that we finally had an honorary knight from Mondstadt, and then we were led to the innkeeper's wife."

"It's the boss."

Sora corrected.

"Oh, yes, Phil Godette is the owner of the inn, and Huai'an is her husband. You see, Phil Godette is from Mondstadt but is the owner of the most famous inn in Liyue, and she also said that she and Huai'an He knows martial arts well, and Huai'an can challenge a Qiuqiu camp by himself."

"Also, what did she say about how to run such a big inn with the support of Qixing? Although I don't know who Qixing is yet, it sounds like he must be a very powerful person. And more! Yan Xiao, the chef, turned out to be a thief in the past. His friend Jiang Xue from Baotuan killed the ruins mechanism in an instant in front of us yesterday. I didn’t even have time to see his movements clearly. In short, the people in this inn are definitely not easy to mess with!"

"Haha, it's okay. At least it seems they have no ill intentions towards us so far. We even helped them deal with the haunting incident yesterday."

Sora smiled and touched Paimon's little head, telling her not to worry.

"That's true. Let's deliver food to Jiang Xue quickly, and then go back to the inn for dinner, hehe."

Kong and Paimon were walking and chatting and laughing, when a woman walked towards them. The woman had snow-covered hair and was wearing a cheongsam decorated with red ropes. She had a slender and graceful figure, her face was as frosty, and her eyebrows were like distant mountains.

Kong glanced up, a little dazed, then realized that his behavior was slightly inappropriate, and immediately lowered his head to look at Paimon.

The woman didn't seem to care about the other party's actions and walked straight forward. Only when the two sides passed each other did she turn her head slightly and glance at Sora.

"Once, I secretly went down the mountain and returned to the village without telling my master, only to find that the original village was abandoned and my father had passed away long ago. I suddenly understood that my relationship with my blood relatives was completely severed. The past that I care about will never be forgotten. From then on Since then, I have given up everything in the world...until I met you."

One day later, the woman said this to Sora.

......

"Traveller, don't look back! Everyone else has gone away!"

Paimon stamped his feet, crossed his waist and said angrily.

"Well, I understand. I just feel that the other person has an immortal temperament, like the pure heart blooming on the high mountains. Maybe the other person is really an immortal?"

Kong lowered his head and thought, while Paimon looked like he suddenly realized something and said mercilessly:

"I think you just think other people are good-looking. Humph, you did the same thing in Mondstadt before, when you peeked at Noel taking a bath!"

"How can this happen! Weren't you with me at that time? When we passed by Xingluo Lake, I saw Noelle soaking in the water. I thought she was drowning, but I didn't expect that she was taking a bath."

"Ang, is that so? I obviously saw her clothes on the shore. Normally..."

"Paimon...I finally know why the Steam Bird Newspaper appeared in great detail about me."

"Aww, Traveler, I was wrong. I just want to make some extra money, and I don't want to spend all your money all the time."

Looking at Sora whose face turned dark, Pamon quickly waved his hand and explained.

"Okay, I don't blame you anymore. Just remember to bring me with you next time you make extra money. Let's each earn a share."

"Hey, definitely next time."
