Genshin Impact: After entering the card pool, I kicked away the knife and stabbed myself

"Of course I know her, otherwise how would I know that this bell is with her?"

Despite Zhongli's calm response, Paimeng still felt that Zhongli was suspicious: "Hmm... lots of doubts!"

"But if you don't want to talk about it, we won't ask you any more questions." Paimon said in a lighter tone:

"By the way, that mother-in-law asked us to bring you a message."

Paimeng imitated Grandma Ping's tone and said slowly: "'If you have time, you can come over to drink tea. I don't have much property, but I still have a teapot.'"

Zhongli was amused by Paimon's words: "Hahaha, that tone doesn't really suit you. But her teapot is really nice, perfect for making tea."

"When the time is right, I will naturally go to see her with good tea."

After helping Grandma Ping convey her message, Paimeng couldn't wait to continue preparing for the Immortal Sending Ceremony: "So what should we prepare for the next step in the ceremony?"

"Well, the next item..." Zhongli paused and said, "Let's go buy a kite."

Hearing about kites, Paimeng seemed very happy: "Kite! Is Zhongli going to take us to play kites? Is this considered... halftime?"

"Haha, that's not the case," Zhongli was once again amused by Paimeng's naivety and explained:

“Although kites are children’s toys, they also have other symbolic meanings in Liyue’s various ceremonies.”

"I will explain it to you. But our next move should be to buy the kite first."

Paimon covered his forehead and shook his head: "Um... okay, I'm confused."

Several people came to the toy stall.

The toy stall owner, Ashanpo, welcomed us:

"Guest, are you here? The seven kites you ordered have been tied up. Do you want to pick them up now?"

[Why does this Ashanpo look like Grandma Ping?]

[The same passerby model, if you look closely, there are still differences]

[Grandma Ping: It was a close call. I just had time to change my clothes.]

[Speaking of which, seven kites...? ]

Zhongli: “Yes, thank you for your hard work.”

Ashanpo sighed, "These days, it's rare to find customers willing to buy this style of kite. In the early days, some people from all walks of life would use it."

Paimon: "Yes! Mr. Zhongli is a guest of Wangsheng Hall, so he should understand the rules of the game."

[It seems that what you are talking about is completely different.]

[Paimon is so stupid, but also so cute]

"However, the things I chatted with Zhongli about during this trip are far more than just these..."

Ying: "We talked about tea, spices, flowers, insects and birds on the way..."

Paimon seemed to remember something difficult to understand again, and frowned and said:

"Hmm... He seems to be able to pick up on the financial and political topics that the people of Liyue love the most, but he prefers to talk about the more useless knowledge."

Zhongli chuckled and said, "Because I prefer to share these interesting things with you."

[He is willing to share with me, which means he likes me]

[Zhongli has me in his heart hehe...]

"Ah, children's toys are very interesting things."

Ashanpo also said with a smile, and then said with some emotion: "However, although I also like to see the children when they are young, after all, I still have other thoughts."

"Children always like exquisite toys. But this exquisiteness is the result of thousands of years of accumulation, and there is meaning behind it."

"I have been making kites in Liyue for forty years, and I know the styles passed down by my ancestors very well."

"The seven kites ordered by this guest have extraordinary significance."

Zhongli nodded and confirmed, "Yes. This is an ornament used in the ceremony of sending off the immortals. The seven kites... symbolize the seven gods."

[It’s coming, it’s coming. Luo has been silent just now, but now she is coming with her prophecy.]

[Speaking of which, this Ashanpo is also mhy's way of telling us that we should pay attention to inheriting culture]

[Did you just realize that? The focus of Liyue is the issue of cultural loss. Everything Zhongli said emphasized this.]

"Hehehe... I deliberately painted the pattern dedicated to the God of Wind 'freely' outside the boundaries."

【Wendy: Thank you for listening to me～】

"As for offerings to the Rock God, you have to follow the 'contract' carefully. This pattern is very ancient and can be found in the Golden House."

"Golden House?" Paimon heard something familiar and said, "I've heard this name recently..."

"Paimon," Luo tapped Paimon's head and said, "Just know it, don't say it out loud."

Paimon was hit on the head, covering his head with his hands, a little confused: "Huh?"

Zhongli looked at the purple kite and helped to change the subject:

"The lightning pattern of this kite... well, the sense of rotation is well grasped, just like the 'eternity' that the Thunder God wants."

“The patterns of grass leaves and silver wood growth rings that represent ‘wisdom’ are ingeniously integrated into the frame of the kite, which is amazing.”

"Justice as balanced as the surface of water, war as fierce as fire, and the Ice God's past... well, the details are all well done."

【??? Why is the Great Prophet Zhongli?】

[Mondstadt’s prophet is Luo, Liyue’s prophet is Zhongli, right?]

[I feel like Luo's behavior is a bit strange. Whether it's about the balm or here, she basically doesn't say much.]

[Could it be that Luo was replaced? ]

[How could someone of Luo's strength be replaced? This is probably a foreshadowing. Luo will definitely have his highlight moments later, just like when he fought against Tevarin.]

Ashanpo smiled happily and said, "It is also a pleasure to hear some compliments from knowledgeable customers every now and then."

"Then Ashanpo, I will take these pre-ordered goods first. As for the remaining payment..." Zhongli looked at Luo, and there was no need to say more about the rest.

[Hahahahaha, I’m about to score three goals]

【hat trick】

[Zhongli: Money? I can’t bring money with me. I will never bring money with me in this life.]

Just then, the young master came over.

"If there's any remaining balance, I'll pay it."

Paimon: "Yeah, it's the young master."

Ying asked: "Did you guys agree to meet here?"

Tartaglia laughed and said, "Haha, how could that be? I just happened to be passing by."

Luo stretched out his hand to him: "Not only the remaining balance for the kite, I also helped to advance some of it."

"Okay, okay, Master's friend, I understand." Facing Luo, Tartaglia was a little at a loss:

"I guess that "some" isn't really some. I don't have enough money on me. I'll go back to Northland Bank and pay you back."

Tartaglia looked at Zhongli again: "And Mr. Zhongli is still the same. When paying the bill... or asking someone to pay the bill, he never looks at the price or the wallet."

"But then again, he actually understands the value of money and the sufferings of the world. But he seems unable to understand that being poor is also a situation that could happen to him..."

"Or in other words, I just can't imagine myself without money."

[Hahahahahahahahahaha, Zhongli: don’t cue]

[How can an immortal be without money? Don’t you agree, Zhongli?]

[Wendy has no money either, hahaha, these two are in the same boat, right?]

Paimon utters the famous line in the scene: "It's amazing, how come this guy hasn't starved to death yet."
