Chapter 306: Head to the Yiyan Palace! See the Liyue the Liyue Qixing again!

Sensing something was wrong, Chongyun hurriedly asked about what happened after his blackout from drinking.

Then, Master Mao, with a strange expression, told him what had occurred the night before.

"Ahem, actually, it was nothing much, just that you suddenly jumped onto the manager’s long table and shouted loudly that you would pay for all the guests' meals yourself."

Chongyun: "..."

"Then you chatted with every table of guests, putting your arms around their shoulders to explain how powerful your exorcism arts were, and didn't forget to eat food from other people's tables before leaving."

Chongyun: "..."

"Finally, you said there were evil spirits in Wanmin Restaurant, but when you couldn't find any, you stuck a talisman on Xiangling’s forehead and chased her around with a long sword; that game was quite interesting."

Master Mao perhaps thought the former was just drunkenness, and the latter was some new kind of game among young people.

However, hearing this, Chongyun was already blushing to the roots of his hair, looking as if he wished he were dead.

It is estimated that the youth finally understood the meaning of "social death."

Drinking leads to trouble!

Never mind paying for all the guests, he could barely support himself; he rummaged through his pockets and didn't find a single Mora.

His pockets were cleaner than his face.

"Um, Master Mao, can I pay off the debt slowly in the future?"

Chongyun was a bit embarrassed to say it; indeed, owing money was a first for him.

Master Mao agreed with great understanding, seemingly seeing the young man's distress.

"It's fine, it doesn't matter if you can't pay it back; you are Xiangling’s friend, and most of the guests paid their bills last night, so I won't lose much."

"That won't do; no matter what, it was my fault, and I am very sorry for the trouble I caused you!"

Apologizing solemnly, Chongyun felt very ashamed and resolved to seal alcohol away as a forbidden item in the future.

No matter what, he would never touch a drop again.

Otherwise, if it happened again, he really couldn't handle it.

Fortunately, Master Mao was a good person and willing to let him run a tab.

Master Mao smiled, and seeing the young man preparing to leave after thanking him repeatedly, he hurriedly reminded him, "Wait, there is one more thing."

Chongyun’s heart stopped; he almost thought there was more to his behavior from last night, and just as he was preparing to accept it with a bitter face, he heard something completely different from what he had imagined.

"The guest named Luo Li told me yesterday that if you woke up, I should pass on a message: if you want to find your aunt, go wait near Yujing Terrace."

Aunt?!

Chongyun gave a start; he had almost forgotten that this was the reason he had been drinking yesterday.

If he had suffered the consequences but failed to achieve his original goal, that would be a total loss.

For this reason, he hurriedly thanked Master Mao and then quickly headed toward Yujing Terrace.

…………

On the other side!

Having parted ways with Kuki Shinobu early in the morning, Luo Li and the tool duo strolled leisurely along Feiyun Slope, passing by the General Affairs Office.

"Chongyun was so funny yesterday; so that’s what happens when he gets drunk?!"

Recalling the scene from last night, Paimon couldn't help but giggle.

It was her first time seeing a drunkard.

Luo Li laughed, "Chongyun is a bit special; because of his constitution, he avoids anything that easily causes internal heat, and yesterday he was set up by Xingqiu."

"Xingqiu? Why did he set him up?"

Lumine also looked over curiously; those two seemed to have a pretty good relationship.

Luo Li explained, "It’s much like how you treat Paimon as emergency food."

"Oh, I get it!"

Lumine understood in an instant.

You might need a few seconds to understand other things, but if Paimon is the example, Lumine says she is all too familiar with that.

"Hey, you are not allowed to speak ill of me! I am not emergency food!"

Hearing a joke about herself, Paimon was immediately unhappy and stomped her feet in anger.

Lumine changed her words, "Alright, then a flying pet!"

"Not a flying pet either! I’m going to get angry!"

"An angry Paimon is so scary."

Reciting lines without any emotion or sincerity, the two were bickering when they suddenly realized someone was missing.

Lumine looked up and around, finding Luo Li standing at the entrance of Mingxing Jewelry.

"Huh, what is Mr. Luo Li doing?"

"I don't know."

The two stood where they were, and just as they were about to go over, they saw him finish talking to the clerk and return to their side.

Paimon didn't care about the bickering just now and hurriedly asked, "Mr. Luo Li, what did you go do?"

"A secret."

Lumine knew she wouldn't get anything out of him, so she remained calm.

Paimon clearly didn't understand this principle yet and wanted to keep asking, but Luo Li easily steered the topic away.

"Returning to Liyue this time, if you want to go to the sealed Chasm, you must first obtain the permission of the Liyue the Liyue Qixing."

Without the Geo Archon, the highest rulers of Liyue now are the Liyue the Liyue Qixing.

This is completely different from other nations.

There is no one above the seven of them.

Unlike Mondstadt, where the Knights of Favonius only hold military power, there are many high-ranking officials in politics.

Even Jean cannot issue orders as she pleases and must accept the constraints of those above her.

Caught up in the topic Luo Li suddenly brought up, Lumine and Paimon couldn't help but become serious, losing the thought of asking what he had just done.

Lumine asked, "Then how do we get the Liyue the Liyue Qixing’s permission?"

Although the two were familiar with Keqing and Ningguang, to get permission, they would need the approval of at least more than half of the Liyue the Liyue Qixing.

Even adding Uncle Tian, the Tianshu Star at the docks, that was only three of the Liyue the Liyue Qixing.

They still had to fight for one more vote.

Luo Li smiled faintly, "Don't worry, even if you don't get the Liyue the Liyue Qixing’s permission, you can still sneak in."
