Genshin Impact: Starting with Jingyuan Character Card

"Alas, is there really no news about this matter?" After sitting in the teahouse for a while, Yuan Shang sighed in disappointment. Feeling that he would not get any useful information if he stayed here any longer, he decided to leave and think of other ways.

But just as he was about to leave, he saw out of the corner of his eye a young man whose manners and conversation were even better than his.

This time, Yuanshang became interested. He asked the waiter for two pots of new tea, and came to the man, holding them, one on the left and one on the right.

"Hello sir, can I share the table with you?"

"Huh?" Zhongli, who was drinking tea, suddenly heard someone calling him, so he put down his teacup and looked up.

Zhongli: ???

Looking at the man who was talking to him, Zhongli frowned slightly, because in his golden eyes, the illusion of Yuanshang had been broken, and a red abyss apostle holding a teapot appeared in his sight.

"Please." Zhongli did not have any unusual reaction. He greeted the person in front of him as if he was an ordinary citizen of Liyue. He wanted to see what those people in the Abyss Cult were up to.

"Thank you, sir. What's your name?" After sitting down, Yuanshang took the initiative to talk to Zhongli. This man's manners and upbringing were definitely not ordinary. It would be a good thing if he could be pulled into the Abyss Cult and used by His Royal Highness the Prince.

"No need to tell me your surname is Zhong." Zhongli Gubo replied calmly, without any superfluous action or words.

"It's Mr. Zhong. Nice to meet you. I'm Yuan Shang." After hearing Zhong Li's words, Yuan Shang's evaluation of him in his heart went up a level. 'He is indeed a rare talent.' Yuan Shang nodded secretly. Although he didn't know exactly what this person did and who he was, he believed in his own judgment.

For a period of time afterwards, Yuan Shang kept chatting with Zhong Li. The two talked about the present and the past, from Liyue to the winter. The more they talked with him, the more shocked Yuan Shang became. This person not only knew astronomy and geography, but also had some knowledge of the ancient country of Karia hundreds of years ago.

"What kind of business does Brother Yuan Shang do? At this time, the only people who would stay in the teahouse are usually idle people like Zhong."

"Haha, I am indeed a casual visitor, but I like to listen to some strange and interesting stories, so I come here to drink tea. Didn't I hear that there is a new rumor? So I came here to find out."

"Oh?" After hearing Yuan Shang's words, Zhongli raised his eyebrows slightly. He probably knew the purpose of this Abyss Apostle's visit.

Yesterday, Yun Fan told him that the Traveler had an older brother who was a high-ranking member of the Abyss Cult. Although he didn't know his specific status, he must be someone who was above ten thousand people.

Could it be that he heard the news that his sister was about to get married, so he sent the Apostle of the Abyss to investigate?

Thinking of this, Zhongli's mouth curled up slightly. It had always been Yun Fan who had been pitting him and causing him trouble. This time, why not let him give back a little.

"I've also heard about this new rumor. Is it about the upcoming wedding of the blond traveler? I've had the honor of meeting that traveler, and he can indeed be called a top choice for marriage. However, the man's identity is also a bit unusual..."

"Hmm... Hmm?! Could it be that Mr. Zhongli, you know something about that man?" Yuan Shang was immediately excited and asked hurriedly. He didn't expect that he would hit the jackpot and actually meet someone who really knew the inside story.

"Well, the man who is about to marry the traveler is named Yun Fan, and he is currently living in the Wangsheng Hall. According to rumors, he is a disciple of the Immortal Family. If Brother Yuanshang is interested, you can go to the Wangsheng Hall to inquire about it."

"Hahahaha!! Thank you, brother Zhongli, I'll treat you to tea today, and we'll see each other later. I'll take my leave first!" After getting the information he wanted, Yuanshang stood up, bowed to Zhongli to show his gratitude, then hurriedly paid for the tea and left Heyu Teahouse.

Looking at Yuanshang's hurriedly leaving back, Zhongli picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Well, I saved some money on tea..."

"Welcome to the Hall of Rebirth. May I ask what service you would like to make an appointment for?" After asking for directions several times, Yuanshang swaggered to the door of the Hall of Rebirth. As soon as he stepped in, a woman with a 'Hall of Rebirth Employee' badge on her chest came up to him and greeted him with a smile.

"Service? What services do you offer here?" Now that he was already here, Yuanshang had to act more realistically so that he could better obtain information later.

"Sir, we have the best funeral service in Liyue Harbor. Take a look at the latest 'Farewell to Immortality Package' launched by our Wangsheng Hall. It allows you to experience the same funeral standards as King Yan after death." The clerk actively promoted the package service to Yuan Shang, who's cheek twitched.

Experience the same funeral service as Morax? Is it possible that I can still feel something after I die?

"Ahem, how much is this meal set cost?" In order to better find out information about Yun Fan, Yuan Shang decided to buy a meal set here and establish a good relationship with the clerk.

"Sir, you have a good eye. This set meal is just launched and is still on sale. Just Mora will do."

"What?! So expensive..." Yuan Shang's eyes widened. A funeral service was actually so expensive. This was equivalent to his salary for several decades... However, he couldn't catch the wolf without sacrificing the lamb. He bought it! At worst, he could ask His Royal Highness the Prince to reimburse him after he returned!

"Sir, please come this way!" The clerk was already grinning from ear to ear, and hurriedly took Yuan up to handle the formalities. The commission this time was enough for her salary for several months.

After everything was done, Yuan Shang asked the clerk intentionally or unintentionally: "Miss, I heard that you have a Mr. Yun Fan here?"
