Chapter 435

……

In the light screen.

The scene continued.

Hu Tao walked in with Xiao, smiling.

Lumine and Paimon had strange expressions when they saw Xiao.

And Xiao was also stunned when he saw the people present.

Then he looked at Zhongli, feeling a bit at a loss.

The other three didn't speak.

For a moment, the atmosphere at the scene became eerily quiet.

Zhongli sighed helplessly in his heart.

But he knew it was time for him to step up.

Otherwise, this dinner party might not be able to continue.

So he stood up and greeted them.

"So the honored guest is the Conqueror of Demons; I have long admired you!"

"Earlier, when the Hall Master invited us for a small gathering, she didn't specify."

"I didn't expect the guests to include not only young heroes and young talents of Liyue, but also the Golden-Winged Great Sage who maintains peace in Liyue!"

"To be gathered here with you all is truly an honor!"

"Uh..."

Hearing this, Xiao was speechless.

Although he was expressionless, he felt incredibly awkward inside.

How should he respond to this?

After nervously swallowing, he took a deep breath.

Then he spoke.

"Mr. Zhong... Consultant, you flatter me!"

【Supernatural Chat Group】

【Lumine: Pfft, hahaha, this scene is killing me~】

【Paimon: Hahaha, Hu Tao really put together a good dinner party!】

【Alice: Long admired, Golden-Winged Great Sage! Tsk tsk, I thought Xiangling and the others were the big victims, but now it seems Xiao, the Conqueror of Demons, is the main course! (Smirk. jpg)】

【Furina: Hahaha, this is even more awkward than the previous scene with Neuvillette and the Traveler!】

【Neuvillette: ……】

【Yanfei: In order not to expose their identities, the Geo Archon and the Conqueror of Demons really put on a good show!】

Hu Tao agreed deeply.

After clicking her tongue twice, she teased Zhongli.

"Oh my, Little Zhong, Great Sage Xiao is here, hurry up and kowtow!"

Zhongli: "..."

【Cloud Retainer: *Cough cough*, the Geo Archon naturally has his reasons for doing this!】

【Moon Carver: *Cough cough*, indeed!】

【Mountain Shaper: But fortunately, the Great Sage reacted, so it's fine now.】

【Madame Ping: Hehehe, this dinner party has only just begun~】

【Xiao: ……】

Xiao looked at the light screen, his mouth twitching.

Sure enough!

The ominous premonition came true!

Thinking of the torturous time his future self would have, he couldn't help but mourn in his heart.

At the same time, he felt a bit fortunate.

Fortunately, the Geo Archon's identity is exposed now!

Otherwise, he might have had to go through this in the future!

Thinking of that awkward scene, Xiao felt uncomfortable all over.

At this time...

【Venti: Eh? That's not right! Didn't they say it was me and the old man? Why don't I see myself? (Confused. jpg)】

【Zhongli: Perhaps he will come later!】

……

In the light screen.

The scene continued.

Seeing Zhongli and Xiao being polite, Hu Tao felt the atmosphere was strange and hurriedly greeted them.

Soon, everyone took their seats.

After some pleasantries, Lumine noticed Xiao's silence and couldn't help but speak up.

"Xiao is very quiet today; are you okay?"

"Are you not used to crowded environments?"

Xiao shook his head gently after hearing this.

"The situation is acceptable."

"Not long ago, um, probably on the eve of the Lantern Rite, I met an old friend."

"With his help, the situation on my body has stabilized quite a bit."

"An old friend?"

Lumine became curious.

Seeing this, Xiao was about to say something, when at this moment...

"*Whoosh~*"

"*Whoosh~*"

A sound of a breeze rang out outside the private room.
