Original God's Dark Priest

Chapter 13 Do stones also have hearts?

Under Ye Lan's supervision, Safire was busy with the affairs of the Yanshang Tea Room, from purchasing tea to arranging tables and chairs, as well as the layout of the hall. Even the open-air tea table on the second floor was rearranged by her. The entire Iwagami Tea Room has a completely new look, and it no longer looks like it did before.

Zhongli came to the door of Yanshang Tea House and immediately saw the busy figure of the girl he had met once before. In a trance, he seemed to see the girl who was addicted to the art of mechanism and busy every day.

"Does this guest want to come for tea?" The person receiving the reception was still Chu Yi, because the old owner was in bad luck and the teahouse was taken over by the new owner. The new owner made many demands on the service attitude of their staff. The most important thing is to make guests feel at home.

Chu Yi didn't know what "feeling at home" meant, but she thought that this word should not be used to describe the teahouse, but this did not affect her understanding of the host's meaning. To put it bluntly, it's a matter of hospitality. As long as you have a good attitude, are friendly, and don't look down on others, you will basically be qualified.

"I heard that Yanshang Teahouse has reopened, so I wanted to come and have a look." Zhongli did not shy away from expressing his own thoughts.

Chu Yi blinked, thought for a moment and said tentatively: "Guest, if you are here to drink tea, we are very welcome. The boss said that the customer is God. We have nothing else here and we have enough tea. If you want If you want to have fun, we don’t do those things here anymore.”

Chu Yi was afraid that the other party would misunderstand, so she spoke very clearly. This is what Safire also emphasized. Everyone must be told clearly that there are no more gambling houses here, and those gamblers can go back and forth wherever they want.

Zhong Li smiled and nodded when he heard Chu Yi's words: "Girl, you are worrying too much. Zhong is just here to drink tea."

"Then invite us inside." Chu Yi quickly led the way, "There are many seats in the hall and it is lively. There is an open-air platform on the second floor, which is more suitable for small gatherings among friends. If you want to be quiet, we also have private rooms here, which can guarantee that I'm disturbed. Suitable for business discussions." Chu Yi introduced them one by one, making Zhongli nod secretly.

He knew Chu Yi. She had worked as a receptionist at Yanshang Teahouse before. The fact that she could continue to work as a receptionist after changing owners showed that she still had some skills.

"Take me to the private room. By the way, I'll tell your boss that a man named Zhongli wants to talk to her about something important." Zhongli followed her into the door of Yanshang Teahouse.

When she heard that she was looking for the owner, Chu Yi immediately wanted to refuse: "I'm sorry, guest, the teahouse has reopened. The owner's business is quite busy, so I may not be able to meet you alone."

"It doesn't matter, you just need to tell her exactly what I said, and she will come to see me."

Seeing Zhongli's determined look, Chu Yi didn't know what to say, so she took Zhongli to the private room, greeted the waiter to serve tea, and then turned around and left.

"Zhong Li came to see me?" After hearing Chu Yi's report, Safire subconsciously glanced at Ye Lan, who still wanted to hang on. It was not beyond her expectation that Zhongli would come to her, but the content of her conversation with Zhongli was not suitable for others to know. Especially Ye Lan, Liyue's biggest intelligence chief.

Yelan naturally heard Chu Yi's report: "Zhongli, I have the impression that he just came back from overseas and is currently serving as a guest minister in the Hall of Purity. I didn't expect that my boss actually knew this person. It is said that this Mr. Zhongli He is knowledgeable and has his own unique insights into many things. I plan to find an opportunity to get to know him."

The meaning of these words could not have been more obvious. He almost rushed up and pinched Safire's neck and said, "You must take me to see him."

Sighing slightly in his heart, Safire had no choice but to take her to Zhongli's box. The woman she asked for in her previous life was clinging to her in this life. Unfortunately, this was not what she wanted.

When he came to the box where Zhongli was, he saw Yelan following Safire. Zhongli raised his eyebrows imperceptibly but said nothing.

"I heard that Mr. Zhongli wants to see me?" Safire took Ye Lan and sat across from Zhongli. She decided that since Ye Lan wouldn't leave, she would take her with her. As for the content of the conversation, she had nothing to hide. At least in her conversation with Zhongli, the other party controlled the scale. What could be said? Zhongli knew what he couldn't say. As long as the other party thinks there's no problem, she doesn't care.

Zhongli personally made a cup of tea for Safire and said slowly, "I don't know what to call the girl yet."

"Me? My name is Saphire, Saphire Aurora, from the Winter Country. You should know that I am the twelfth executive officer of the Fools, codenamed 'Dark Priest'." Saphire He did not shy away from his name and introduced himself in a smooth and generous manner.

Ye Lan noticed a detail. She heard the word "you" from Safire's mouth for the first time. I've never seen her use honorifics to anyone before.

"Is this Zhongli's status very noble? But what kind of status is worthy of being addressed with honorifics by an executive of the Fools?" Ye Lan secretly raised Zhongli's importance to another level in her heart.

Zhong Li nodded when he heard this: "Liyue usually addresses people by their surnames to show respect. Safire...Boss, can I call you like this?"

"Haha, no need to tell anyone, you can call me Phil, I don't care." Safire didn't dare to fight with this person, she was not a walnut, and she paid the other party's salary.

Zhong Li also showed a smile: "Then let's call him Boss Phil. It's easier to pronounce. I have something important to discuss with Boss Phil today, but it seems like it's inconvenient for you?"

He was referring to Ye Lan, who never left her. Naturally, he knew Ye Lan and knew that he could trust her 100%. But if Safire didn't trust Ye Lan, he wouldn't commit this taboo.

"Mr. Zhongli, if you have anything to say, you can tell me directly. This person is one of my partners. You don't have to worry."

Zhong Li nodded, thought for a moment and then said: "The former colleague of Boss Phil, Mr. Young Master, found me and wanted to find out the traces of the Xian family, so I informed him of the whereabouts of Baiwu Tabu Lu. I didn't know that Boss Phil was there. Will you gain anything from visiting this Iwagami teahouse?"

"Is there no taboo?" Safire activated the golden eye of the god on her chest, and a spell appeared in her hand. "To be honest, his and I don't have the same ideas, and Panxiayanshang Teahouse only complies with his wishes. It’s just a layout. In my opinion, the journey to visit the immortals is too long and not a good method. So if Mr. Zhongli wants this talisman, I will give it to you."

The corner of Zhongli's mouth twitched. This girl was pretending to be confused with him, but he was worried that Ye Lan was present and he couldn't explain it clearly. He could only say: "Zhong is just a mortal. He shouldn't be destined to be immortal. I'm afraid there will be something wrong with him." Let’s forget about the disaster. But now that Boss Phil has obtained the Bai Wu Tao Lu, the contract with Mr. Gongzi has come to an end, so Zhong is relieved.”

Seeing Zhongli's expression, Safire couldn't hold back. He drank tea calmly to hide it: "So, is Mr. Zhongli's purpose today to confirm?"

"Of course not. The contract with Mr. Young Master is just incidental. I have something more important to ask Boss Phil today." Zhong Li put down his teacup and showed a serious expression, "Has Boss Phil ever been to Guyun Pavilion? ?”

Although Safir's resurrection of Beidou in Guyun Pavilion caused little noise, the changes in the Fate Seat could not be hidden from Zhongli. She nodded: "When I was traveling with the captain of the Southern Cross Fleet, I was delayed in Guyun Pavilion for a few days."

Yelan pricked up her ears when she heard this, knowing that the main event was coming. The first two people said things that she didn't understand, and they were obviously on guard against her. She was an insider about this, so there was no need to avoid it.

"Are you just traveling together? Didn't Boss Phil do anything else?" Zhongli's tone was a bit stiff, and it was a matter of great importance. Although he had learned about Ningguang through sleepwalking in various realms, he knew that Safire could not do what he wanted. However, he still wanted to ask the person involved personally.

"Mr. Zhongli, you should be aware." Safire raised his head, the playful smile that had always been on his face was gone, "The relationship between life and death is irreversible. The ordinary original god is already my limit, how can I dare to tamper with the destiny of the Immortal family? "

Zhongli opened his mouth, but finally said nothing. Yes, he should have known. Ningguang had no reason to lie to him. Safire was also smart and knew that she could sell him a favor, but she didn't do it. It can be seen that the other party really has nothing to do. But after he saw Safire, the wound in his heart that had been healed by time opened again.

"Morax, do stones have hearts?"

"Everything has a heart. Even though I am the Demon God of Rock, my essence is not a stone. How can you say that I have no heart?"

"But you have always been as hard as a stone, the kind that cannot be covered with heat."

Memories kept coming back, and Zhongli tried hard to calm down his mood. He felt that the wear and tear on his body had increased. Maybe it’s really time to let go of the burden on your shoulders.
