Chapter 546: Head to the Yiyan Palace! See the Liyue Qixing again!

~6 min read 1,053 words

Sensing something was wrong, Chongyun hurriedly asked about what happened after he blacked out from drinking.

Then, Master Mao, with a strange expression, told him what had happened last night.

"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' bills alone."

Chongyun: "..."

"Then you chatted with every table of guests, putting your arms around their shoulders to introduce how powerful your exorcism arts were, and didn't forget to eat a dish from someone else's table when you left."

Chongyun: "..."

"Finally, you said there were evil spirits in Wanmin Restaurant, but after searching everywhere and finding none, you stuck a talisman on Xiangling's forehead and chased her around with a long sword; that game was actually quite interesting."

Master Mao perhaps thought the former was just drunken behavior, and the latter was some new type of game among young people.

However, hearing this, Chongyun was already blushing, looking as if he wished he could die.

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

Drinking causes trouble!

Let alone paying for all the guests, he could barely support himself; he dug into his pockets and didn't have a single Mora.

His pockets were cleaner than his face.

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

Chongyun was a bit embarrassed to speak; mainly because owing money was truly a first for him.

Master Mao agreed very understandingly, seemingly seeing the young man's embarrassment.

"It's okay, 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's my problem, and I am very sorry for the trouble I caused you!"

Apologizing solemnly, Chongyun was very ashamed, and at the same time, he made up his mind to seal alcohol among forbidden items 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 thanking him repeatedly before planning to leave, he hurriedly reminded him, "Wait, there is one more thing."

Chongyun's heart stopped; he almost thought his behavior from last night hadn't been fully recounted, 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 to the vicinity of Yujing Terrace and wait."

Aunt?!

Chongyun gave a start; he had almost forgotten, that was the reason he drank yesterday.

If he had endured the cost but failed to achieve the initial goal, that would be a total loss.

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

…………

On the other side!

Having parted ways with Kuki Shinobu early in the morning, Luo Li and the tool duo were leisurely walking 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 tricked by Xingqiu."

"Xingqiu? Why did he trick him?"

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

Luo Li explained: "It's about the same as you treating Paimon as emergency food."

"Oh, got it!"

Lumine understood in a second.

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

"Hey, you're 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 sincerity or emotion, as the two bickered, they suddenly realized one person was missing.

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

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

"Don't know."

The two stood where they were, just about to go over, when they saw him finish communicating with 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?"

"Secret."

Lumine knew she couldn't ask anything out of him, so she had always been very calm.

Paimon clearly didn't understand this principle yet and wanted to keep asking, but was easily diverted by Luo Li.

"Returning to Liyue this time, if you want to go to the sealed Chasm, you first need to get permission from the Liyue Qixing."

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

This is completely different from other countries.

There is no one else pressing down above the seven.

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 constraints from above.

Caught up by Luo Li's sudden topic, 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 Qixing's permission?"

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

Even adding Uncle Tian, the Tianshu Star at the docks, that was only three of 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 Qixing's permission, you can still sneak over."
