Chapter 208
The far right of the private room.
The small room had four people.
However, except for a man and a woman in the main seats in front, the other two stood to one side wearing masks, and one could tell they were guards at a glance.
As the woman said those words, one of the guards behind her hesitated and spoke.
"Lady Signora, should we notify Lord Scaramouche about this matter discussed with the Geo Archon?"
The one called Signora was Rosalyne, who had taken Venti's Gnosis from Mondstadt.
Even though she knew Hearing Luo Li was still alive and living in Mondstadt, she didn't dare to see him.
The feelings she had brewed for five hundred years had almost frozen into ice, but now they were slowly melting.
In order to restrain herself from seeing Hearing Luo Li, Signora left Mondstadt immediately and came to Liyue to conduct a contract transaction with the Geo Archon, Morax.
That is, the handsome man beside her—Zhong Li.
"No need to tell him; this is also a condition in the transaction."
Signora sneered: "As a chess piece on the chessboard, performing well for the adult beside me to watch is his duty."
Unlike forcibly taking Venti's Gnosis, because Morax had signed a contract with the Tsaritsa a long time ago, he only needed to satisfy his conditions, and this ancient Archon would voluntarily offer the Gnosis.
Therefore, Signora could sit here listening to the play with him and talk about conditions by the way.
As for selling out a colleague?
The Fatui aren't harmonious, so isn't selling out teammates a normal operation?
Of course, in the future, she wouldn't think that she would also be sold out.
However, for now, this possibility had almost been wiped out.
Zhong Li remained unmoved, staring at the stage that was still continuing below and said: "This is also a test, to see if Liyue today has the ability to face risks alone."
For this reason, he wanted to direct a good play himself.
Exploding all the problems that already existed in Liyue at once, to see what extent they could achieve by relying on humanity alone.
Signora didn't commit to this; regardless of success or failure, she could get the Gnosis.
As for what Liyue would become, it had nothing to do with her.
"I wish you success."
This blessing, which was not sincere at all, was mixed with sharp sarcasm.
Zhong Li didn't care; his cultivation destined him not to be as knowledgeable as the woman beside him.
Moreover, the other party's experience couldn't be considered happy, and she was also a pitiful person.
Staring at Master Yun's stumbling steps as if she were in the snow, Zhong Li raised the corners of his mouth slightly and nodded unconsciously.
"To reach such a realm at a young age, she is worthy of the name Master."
Signora beside him didn't want to bother with him, curled her lips and just wanted to refute, but heard an agreeing voice from the next private room.
"Your Excellency is right; Master Yun is excellent in singing, acting, and reciting, using breath to support sound, sound to send words, words to reach emotion, and emotion to transform the tune; it can be called seamless."
Zhong Li turned his head, surprised that someone could make such an accurate evaluation of Master Yun; could it be that he was also a wonderful person?
Wait... this voice.
While pondering, he had already responded: "Not bad, the recitation is rhythmic, the singing is gentle and transparent, the flower-faced actor has thick boots, and the old lady and young lady have long water sleeves."
It was a realm that only old performers could reach; Yun Jin was only sixteen, and even if she had talent, she didn't know how much effort and sweat she had put in behind the scenes.
Zhong Li had just finished reciting when he heard a high evaluation from the opposite side.
"The Heyu Tea House changes into Beijing opera, with thousands of face masks and hundreds of costumes, the net, mo, and chou turn into sheng, dan, and chou, and the famous actors sing and act leisurely."
Interested for a moment, Zhong Li immediately opened his mouth to invite: "Very good, Your Excellency must also be a learned person; why not come over and appreciate it together."
Being able to make him mention it actively, there were only two or three people left in the whole world.
As Zhong Li's voice fell, he heard the sound of footsteps moving in the next private room.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door outside.
Signora frowned, always feeling that this voice was somewhat familiar.
Under the request of the Fatui guard's eyes, she finally didn't say anything and said coldly: "Listen to him."
The guards had to move aside and take the initiative to let the people outside come in.
The door was opened, and Signora and Zhong Li looked over at the same time.
However, after seeing the visitor clearly, the expressions shown by the two were completely different.
Zhong Li was surprised and carried a trace of realization, followed by a faint smile; it seemed he had expected it early on.
·· ·Seeking flowers· ·········
Hearing Luo Li looked at him and shook his head helplessly: "No fun, it seems you guessed it was me early on."
"That's not it; the real confirmation was just now."
Zhong Li was very frank; seeing an old friend, he didn't show special excitement, which was a world of difference from the jumpy Venti.
Perhaps it was because he had learned the news that he was still alive before, so he had expected it in advance.
Coupled with the experience of thousands of years, it made it impossible for him to have such violent emotional fluctuations like an ordinary person.
Five hundred years of life and death separation, and when they met again, the two just nodded faintly.
But the other side was not like this.
Shifting his gaze to the mature older sister with a curvy figure beside him, the moment Hearing Luo Li looked over, he clearly saw the woman subconsciously retreat a few steps; the pretty face with panic and loss was no longer arrogant and cold as before.
......... 0
Signora turned her head away quickly, facing him with the side with the crown mask, seemingly worried about being recognized.
Hearing Hearing Luo Li eyes were somewhat complex; he thought he had changed the fate of this pitiful young lady, but he didn't expect that everything still hadn't changed.
She still became the Crimson Witch, hated the Abyss, and threw herself under the command of the Tsaritsa.
She discarded the name Rosalyne and announced it to the world with the mask of the Fatui Harbinger, Signora.
"So much time has passed; I didn't expect to see the princess of the Ballad Festival in the Anemo Archon square back then again."
As his gentle words were uttered, Signora's body couldn't help but tremble.
She knew she had been recognized.
Even though she had changed so much, why couldn't she hide it from him?
Hearing Luo Li didn't speak again; first, he glanced at the two Fatui guarding the door and said in an unquestionable tone: "You two, get out."
The two Fatui guards were somewhat contemptuous and unmoved; who are you to tell us to get out?
Before they could speak, a severe reprimand from their immediate superior was passed over violently.
"He told you to get lost; can't you understand?"
Fatui guards: "..."
Sorry, sorry to bother you.
The two left the room in a dejected manner, leaving only the three of them.
