Chapter 318: A small Shura field!
Moreover, there were other people present; if she exposed her own thoughts, it wouldn't be very appropriate.
If possible, she hoped that on the night the fireworks bloomed, she would be wearing her new formal dress and be the first one Luo Li saw.
Then, under his stunning praise, she would state her heart.
Mmm, if he could take the initiative to confess to her, that would naturally be best.
Unfortunately, Keqing knew well that the probability seemed a bit low.
Thus, she perfunctorily said, "Just happened to be passing by here, and happened to see you all, so I came over to say hello."
Just happened to be passing by here?
Luo Li’s eyes were a bit subtle.
You have to know that this alley was by no means located on the main street, and it even required passing through several side roads from the main street to find the location.
If it weren't for a target here, one would never come here for no reason.
Clearly, Keqing was lying, though he didn't know the reason for the lie.
Seeming to feel that her explanation wasn't very reliable, Keqing changed the subject again, "Let’s not talk about this. Have you finished your business? If you have nothing to do, why not go to my place and sit for a while."
The girl tidied up her fallen bangs as if nothing had happened, acting as if she had just mentioned it casually.
In reality, only she knew how nervous she was inside.
Luo Li smiled, "You are always busy with work. During this Lantern Rite, I’d better not disturb you."
Keqing was anxious and replied without thinking, "It doesn't matter, I’ve already finished tomorrow’s work in advance."
"..."
Noticing Luo Li staring at her with a strange gaze, Keqing was speechless for a moment, but considering that this could at most be associated with her workaholic personality, she felt slightly relieved.
Luo Li really didn't think much of it; mainly, Keqing’s true nature was too deceptive.
As the queen of internal competition in Liyue, it wasn't incomprehensible for her to do such a thing.
Rather, Luo Li had deep feelings about this.
Ever since the departure of the Geo Archon, Keqing had taken this to the peak.
In order not to appear so urgent, Keqing added, "Of course, if you are tied up with business, you don't need to pay attention."
Hearing this, Luo Li pondered for a moment and said, "I’ve been free lately, with nothing to do."
Having come to Liyue from Inazuma, Luo Li really couldn't find anything to do.
Now he, like Zhongli, had become one of the idle crowd, commonly known as a parasite who takes a salary but does no work.
And Zhongli was a bit different from him; as a consultant for the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, the Geo Archon always adhered to the way of the contract and completed his own duties.
Keqing’s eyes brightened slightly, "Since that’s the case, then..."
Before she could finish, she was interrupted by Hu Tao, who was waiting impatiently.
"Then come with this Parlor Master to sell products!"
Keqing: "???"
Keqing was full of question marks, and only then did she look at the lively and active girl.
She naturally knew Hu Tao; as an indispensable part of Liyue Harbor, the existence of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor truly provided many conveniences for the funeral rites.
Its existence could be traced back to a thousand years ago.
At the time of the Great Flood, the first generation of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor had already appeared.
Luo Li didn't expect Hu Tao to jump out and act as a spoiler halfway through, so he couldn't help but look at the girl whose personality was unfathomable, his gaze full of probing.
"Why, this Parlor Master rarely invites someone to go along in person, are you going to refuse?" Hu Tao’s pouting appearance was very cute.
In her view, she already had a lot of class. As a consultant, he was doing things for free, and perhaps even taking his salary to go around provoking girls.
She, the boss, was tolerant and magnanimous, letting bygones be bygones, and was prepared to let him make up for his mistakes.
She was simply a model capitalist, alright!
Keqing said indifferently, "Parlor Master Hu, please don't mess around. I have serious business with Mr. Luo Li."
Hu Tao wasn't having it, acting as if to say 'Who do you think you are,' and said, "Luo Li is a consultant for my family, how am I messing around!"
Seeing that the two girls were faintly having friction, Yun Jin wanted to speak but hesitated.
She originally wanted to invite Mr. Luo Li to listen to opera, and incidentally listen to storytelling, and walk around to enhance their feelings and relationship.
Who knew that before her invitation could be spoken—or rather, she was relatively reserved and just told him to visit the Yun-Han Opera Troupe before leaving—
these two heavyweight figures started grabbing people on the spot, which was truly jaw-dropping.
Xinyan had a look of watching gossip, moved back two steps without a sound, and examined them back and forth with interested eyes.
The Parlor Master of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, the Liyue the Liyue Qixing, and the head of the Yun-Han Opera Troupe—the girls surrounding this Mr. Luo Li were truly many.
And their status and identity were not those of ordinary people.
However, Xinyan was clearly enjoying the show too early.
Because Ganyu was anxious. Good heavens, she and her teacher had clearly just reunited, and they hadn't said a few private words yet; how did you people run out?
"Teacher, you promised me..."
Seeing Ganyu looking at him eagerly, her moist and gentle eyes mixed with a little grievance, Luo Li was speechless for a moment.
Could this even develop into a Shura field?
Of course, the so-called Shura field was just a small squabble compared to the Raiden sisters, and he didn't take it to heart at all.
After thinking a little, Luo Li found a solution.
"Hu Tao, if you want me to fulfill what I promised, stop making trouble."
This killer move directly silenced Hu Tao. Her expression showed great unwillingness, but she had to remain silent.
This guy is too hateful!
Actually turning his back on his own people!
Hu Tao was furious and gritted her teeth, "You must come to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor to see me tomorrow! Get the plan straight! Otherwise, I’ll make you look good!"
The angry girl deliberately left with heavy footsteps, not even bothering to pitch to the shop owner.
Thinking that she wouldn't be able to harass other shop owners later, Luo Li’s words had saved quite a few businesses. If those owners knew, they would definitely be extremely grateful to him.
Seeing that one had been sent away, the rest were easy to solve.
Yun Jin and Keqing were both people who cared about face, and they were in the eyes of outsiders, so a few words were enough to persuade them.
They weren't like Hu Tao, who didn't care about anything once her temper flared. After Luo Li promised a specific time to visit the Yun-Han Opera Troupe, Yun Jin left with a faint smile.
Thus, only Keqing, Ganyu, and the others remained.
"Miss Ganyu, would you mind if I followed along?"
Hearing this, Ganyu, whose attitude toward Keqing’s disrespect for gods and spirits had slightly improved, pouted again.
This person is really annoying after all!
