The Homeless Man of Teyvat

Huh? !

Have I met someone who knows Tianfeng? !

No, have I been met by someone who knows Tianfeng? !

Ying blinked and looked at the man in front of her: "Who are you...?"

"Zhongli, a guest of the Rebirth Hall, is also an old friend of Tianfeng."

Zhongli spoke in a gentle tone, and observed the expressions of Ying and Paimeng calmly. Seeing that they did not show any sadness in their words and deeds, he knew that the drunkard poet had blocked the news and did not let the traveler know the news of Chen Tianfeng's "death".

"Tianfeng's old friend?"

Ying recalled for a moment and did remember that Tianfeng had said that he had a few good friends in Liyue Port. She thought for a moment and looked at Zhongli: "How did Mr. Zhongli recognize us?"

"Haha, of course, friend Tianfeng once talked to me about the two of you."

Zhongli smiled softly, noticing Ying's curious eyes, and said: "He said that he has a good friend in Mondstadt, who is kind-hearted, loves to travel, and is accompanied by a white mascot named Paimon."

He paused, smiled and nodded to Paimon, who was expectant at first, then stunned, and finally stared: "Thanks to Paimon, otherwise I'm afraid I wouldn't have recognized you so easily."

"Damn it, damn it, damn it! That damn meteorite man! He is the mascot!"

Paimon stomped his feet in the air in anger. He knew that Chen Tianfeng would not say anything good. She is obviously the best guide in Teyvat and Ying's best partner!

Does this guy only remember that she is the mascot? !

"Okay, okay."

Ying rubbed Paimon's hair and comforted him in a low voice, but there was a bright smile on the corner of her lips, and she believed Zhongli's identity as "Chen Tianfeng's friend" 70%.

"Did Tianfeng say anything else?"

Zhongli thought for a while and said, "Well, Tianfeng also said that his swordsmanship was taught by you."

"Mr. Zhongli is indeed Tianfeng's good friend."

Ying smiled and pointed at Paimon first, then pointed at herself: "She is Paimon, the best guide in Teyvat, and my best partner and emergency food; I am Ying, a... um, traveler."

"The title of emergency food doesn't need to be said!"

The little mascot became more and more annoyed, folded his arms, turned his little head to the side, and decided not to say a word to Ying for three seconds, no, at least ten seconds.

Best partner and... emergency food?

Zhongli was silent for a few seconds when he recalled the scene in the seal of Lord Guyun, when Chen Tianfeng shouted "Friend, don't run" and "Friend, you smell so good" while mercilessly strangling and tearing Osel apart and devouring him.

No, Chen Tianfeng is a special case and cannot be compared. The relationship between the traveler and her little mascot should be a normal friendship.

"Mr. Zhongli?"

"...Hmm? Ah, sorry."

Zhongli came back to his senses and met Ying's eyes: "Traveler, what did you say just now?"

"Just call me Ying, Traveler... I always feel weird."

Ying smiled and asked: "Mr. Zhongli, do you know where Tianfeng is now?"

"I know."

Zhongli nodded.

"Then can Mr. Zhongli take us to find him? Or tell us the address."

"Sorry, I can't tell you."

"Thank you Zhong... eh?"

Ying blinked, then blinked again, looked at Zhongli, and suspected that she had heard it wrong: "What did Mr. Zhongli say?"

"I said, I know the address of Tianfeng's residence, but unfortunately, I can't tell you." Zhongli looked calm, paused for a moment, and added: "At least not now."

"Why?"

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you this either."

"What is Tianfeng's current condition?"

"I still can't tell you."

"..."

Ying frowned, smiled, looked at Zhongli calmly, and reasonably suspected that the guy in front of him was looking for trouble.

You can't say this, you can't say that, so why did you stop me?

Paimeng looked at Zhongli with suspicion, and suddenly a light flashed, pointing at him: "You guy, you don't want us to pay you before you tell us Tianfeng's address, right?!"

Liyue is a commercial country, most people here are businessmen, and naturally there are black-hearted businessmen.

The guy in front of him might be!

"..."

Zhongli's smile faltered, and then he became helpless.

Perhaps in the beginning, the first stop of the traveler should not be Mondstadt. The influence of the drunk poet and his free city-state was too great.

Both Chen Tianfeng and the traveler became a little... hard to describe after living in Mondstadt for a while.

Although this change is likely related to their nature, the drunk poet can accurately awaken their nature, so he naturally cannot escape his responsibility.

"Paimon misunderstood. I am not a businessman, and I have no intention of selling information. There are indeed some reasons why I did not tell you two." Zhongli shook his head and said sincerely.

Chen Tianfeng's address... He lives in Ye Lan's courtyard. It can be expected that for some time to come, that courtyard will be Ye Lan's permanent residence.

Telling the address of the courtyard to the traveler, she knocked on the door happily, and saw Ye Lan opening the door...Looking carefully, there were both Chen Tianfeng's items and Ye Lan's items in the courtyard...

Such a development was too sweaty for Chen Tianfeng.

As for Chen Tianfeng’s current situation… Should we say that Young Master Tianfeng is currently in a strange state of being half dead and half alive, and divided into three?

"What is Mr. Zhongli going to do?" Ying frowned.

"I want to ask you two for a favor."

"Mr. Zhongli, please speak."

"Before that, I want to ask you two a question. You should have seen the scene of the death of the Rock King Emperor. So, did you receive the grace bestowed by the Emperor on the people of Liyue when he left?"

Benefit?

Ying and Paimeng looked at each other and asked tentatively: "Mr. Zhongli, are you referring to that wonderful wind?"

"It is the legacy of the spring breeze."

Zhongli nodded and said the name he had just thought of.

"Yes, I received it."

Ying thought for a while and did not deny it. When the wind blew, she did feel the gift given to her by the spring breeze. It was very weak, but it really existed.

"It is true."

Zhongli smiled and said: "You two don't know that this legacy of the spring breeze is the last gift given to the people of Liyue by the Rock King Emperor before his death. Normally, only those who believe in the God of Rock can get this gift. And you two should not believe in the God of Rock, right?"

Ying and Paimeng shook their heads at the same time.

The little mascot scratched his hair and said in embarrassment: "Mr. Zhongli, do you want us to return the gift? But how should we return it? And there is more! This gift was forced upon us by the Rock King Emperor, and it has nothing to do with us!"

"... Paimeng, don't worry. This is a gift from the Rock God to you two. No one will ask you for it."

Zhongli's eyes twitched slightly, and he felt helpless and amused in his heart, and said: "This is the Rock God's recognition and goodwill to you two."

"That's good, that's good." Paimeng patted his chest with his little hand and asked curiously: "Then what is Mr. Zhongli asking us to do?"

"Liyue was established by the Emperor and many immortals. It can be said that the Rock King Emperor is one of the immortals. And for thousands of years, whenever an immortal left, Liyue would hold a ceremony to send off the immortals to express mourning and remembrance, and send blessings to the immortals."

Zhongli explained, looked at Ying and Paimeng, and said softly: "You two are strangers recognized by the Rock God, so I would like to ask you to join me in organizing the Rock King Emperor's ceremony to send off the immortals."
