Genshin Impact: Report to the Emperor! Xiao Shen is creating people again

Shen Qianluo actually hesitated for a moment.

He could clearly sense that the two people in front of him sincerely hoped that he would choose him, so much so that the atmosphere in the room became tense for a moment the moment Tartaglia finished speaking.

But they didn't want their sudden enthusiasm to scare the child, so they remained gentle and friendly, pretending to be calm, but their eyes were involuntarily fixed on the boy with expectation.

...They are all awkward adults.

Shen Qianluo thought about it and made a decision.

For him, choosing Tartaglia would allow him to have more contact with the Fatui organization and perhaps have the opportunity to gain more faith. Moreover, the faith of young people is always full of vigor and vitality.

But if you choose Zhongli...

That is equivalent to having a mountain of faith right there!

It’s not that he didn’t want to choose Brother Ya, it’s just that Mr. Zhongli gave too much.

Not to mention that the latter obviously knew something about him, and perhaps he really was his relative. For some reason, looking at Zhongli's elegant golden eyes under the scorching sun, he couldn't say any words of refusal.

Shen Qianluo was a man who clearly distinguished between love and hate. He admitted... he just preferred Zhongli and couldn't find any reason.

So the boy turned to look at Tartaglia with a serious expression. He caught a glimpse of Zhongli's startled eyes and said apologetically, "I know Brother Ya has been very good to me along the way, but I still want to see my family more."

Tartaglia finally let it go, waved his hand and smiled. His character has always been like this, respecting the choices of his partners and living openly: "It's okay, family is also very important. I also have an important family, and I can understand your feelings."

Zhongli relaxed a little without even noticing it. He calmed down and said calmly, "I don't want to take Qianluo to the wild mountains. We will live in Liyue Harbor for a long time. There will always be a day when we will meet again. When that time comes, we can sit down together and drink a pot of tea."

"Yeah, I was too anxious just now." The atmosphere at the dinner table finally eased down, the three of them chatted and laughed, and Tartaglia's words were full of the arrogance of a rich man.

"However, although I cannot take care of Qian Luo in person, I can still afford some of her daily expenses. When needed, sir, just send the bill to Northland Bank."

"It is hard to refuse such a kind invitation, so I will not refuse it."

As the two of them talked back and forth, Shen Qianluo turned his head from time to time according to the changes in the speakers, and gradually discovered a problem.

Why in this situation, when the parents are about to sail away, they are still worried about their own child, so they pull the elderly person living alone and nag him on how to take care of the child?

Yet inexplicably, it makes one feel unprecedentedly at ease.

"Is Brother Duck very busy at work on weekdays?"

Tartaglia thought about what he was about to do in Liyue, and nodded under the gaze of the Liyue Rock God: "I do have some things to deal with recently, and I should be busy for a while. Is there anything I can do for you?"

Shen Qianluo shook his head and said obediently: "Then when Brother Ya is done, I want to go play with you... Is that okay?"

The child's soft and obedient voice was inquiring. The doting child Tartaglia was impressed by the boy's understanding and naturally had no reason to refuse: "When you miss your brother, you can call me anytime and I will come in half a day at most. Sometimes being a little willful is what children should be like. You don't have to think too much."

"Yes." After smiling and accepting Tartaglia's favor, Shen Qianluo turned to look at Zhongli, "Will it be abrupt for me to do this?"

"Since it is his own wish, it is of course possible." Zhongli looked at the boy and sighed that Shen Qianluo was so easy to coax when he was a child.

He is eccentric and thinks he is super smart and powerful, but in fact he is just a kid who wants to be praised and coaxed... I don't know what kind of experience made him so difficult to approach as a teenager, and he kept a distance from everyone...

After a hearty meal and after Tartaglia left, Shen Qianluo and Zhongli finally looked at each other, focusing all their thoughts and concerns on each other.

After two thousand years, they were alone again. Many people and things were no longer the same as they were before, but in Morax's heart, the friendship between them was the only thing that had not been shaken in the slightest.

I want to buy some osmanthus flowers and carry some wine... He had been repeating this sentence for a long time, and now, the long-lost friend was right in front of him. He looked at him, as if he had returned to the time of the battle when his old friends were still there.

Of course, in the eyes of Shen Qianluo, who had forgotten his past and didn't recognize his relatives (crossed out), this matter was much simpler. At least, under the child's secret and excited look, Zhongli was already a treasure in his heart.

"Mr. Zhongli is my family member, so, according to seniority, how should I address him?"

"If you wish, you can call me Sir as we say now."

She’s not some distant aunt or uncle, nor is she...a father or something like that?

The deviation between reality and speculation was probably a bit too big. Shen Qianluo blinked in surprise: "Sir, are you my..."

"Employee." Zhongli just looked at him like that, obviously he was prepared, and he spoke fluently without changing his expression.

Shen Qianluo:?

He never imagined that he was abducted by his own employee.

And looking at Zhongli's leisurely look, how can he be associated with a hard-working worker! ?

"Sir, you are an employee...? Is my family some kind of aristocratic family? Or... a businessman?"

“Have you ever heard of the Hall of the Afterlife?”

"I heard everyone mention it when I was in Mondstadt. Is it the organization in Liyue that handles funeral matters?"

"Yes, your family and Wangsheng Hall are old friends. You were adopted by Wangsheng Hall when you were young, and grew up with the current hall master. You can be said to have a family-like relationship."

Zhongli's answer was still slow and his eyes never left him. Shen Qianluo looked at him in confusion, but he always felt that this human-like Liyue Rock God seemed to be fooling him.

"Is that true? Does the hall master know that I was lost and then found?"

"Don't panic. I will report this to her first and then you will become the hall master's family member."

Shen Qianluo: ???

Brother Ya, please come back soon! This plot is totally wrong. The child you raised was abducted by human traffickers! !
