Xiao was stunned.

Envy him?

This 'he' should refer to the Emperor.

But why did he envy the Emperor after being scolded by Hu Tao?

Before Xiao could figure it out, he heard Zhongli say to Hu Tao,"Sorry, this is my mistake."

"I will go pick them now and send them to the Hall of the Dead later."

Hu Tao nodded proudly.

"You're smart, I'll get busy now.~"

"Hehehe, there are so many caravans here, traveling all over the place every day, they probably encounter dangers often."

"These are all potential customers~"

Watching Hu Tao hop away, Zhongli smiled at Xiao.

"Xiao, next, let's go and complete the task assigned by the master of Hutao Hall."

The mountains and fields of Dihua Island are full of reeds. Zhuang Qi and Xiao quickly collected enough flowers and headed to Liyue Port.

Although Zhuang Qi had already prepared himself mentally, he was still shocked when the buildings of Liyue appeared in front of him.

This is a vibrant and prosperous port city.

The roofs with flying eaves, exquisite carved beams and painted buildings, and gorgeously decorated gatehouses all show the prosperity and refinement of Liyue.

Just from these buildings, you can feel its profound cultural background.

Xiao took Zhuang Qi to the Hall of Rebirth, and after putting down all the reeds, he took him to tour this beautiful city.

The streets are filled with merchants and goods from all over the world, and you can see a wide range of goods and bustling crowds everywhere.

【Zhongli became more and more silent after entering Liyue Harbor. He seemed to be out of place here.

He walked through the bustling market and the lively streets.

But the hustle and bustle around him seemed to have nothing to do with him. His heart seemed to have drifted far away, immersed in his own thoughts.

Even when he was tasting Liyue delicacies, there was no change.

There were delicious dishes in front of him, but he just moved his chopsticks mechanically.

【Zhongli's eyes were empty, as if he was thinking about some profound and complicated questions, or perhaps he was recalling some unspeakable past events.

Those heavy memories that he had to bear alone.

Xiao looked at Zhongli, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.

Seeing him like this, Xiao knew that perhaps the scene in front of him hurt his already broken heart.

He knew what kind of storm Zhongli was going through under the seemingly calm surface.

So he just stayed by his side silently.

Sometimes, comfort is unnecessary, and even a kind of cruelty from a superior position.

Just as Xiao thought, Zhongli's psychological activities are indeed quite rich.

‘Delicious, delicious. The fish made by Wanmintang is good.’

‘The famous Zhongyuan mixed vegetables, you must have a bowl’

‘Oh, I passed by Ying'er's shop. Unfortunately, I can't go in with my current status.’

‘I wonder if I'll have a chance to meet other characters from the original god if I wander around here.·······’

‘After walking around, I am so full. Hey, Xiao bought another skewer of grilled fish. Never mind, I will eat a few more bites.’

‘Now that we have visited Wangshu Inn and Liyue Harbor, where should we go next?’

【·············】

System: Forget it, whatever, I'm too lazy to talk.

Zhuang Qi and Xiao walked along the way, from the bustling market to the quiet streets, from the bustling teahouse to the quiet academy.

When they arrived at the port, it was completely dark.

The night in Liyue Port is completely different from the daytime, it shows another kind of beauty.

The lights of the port gradually lit up, echoing the stars in the sky.

The sparkling sea reflected the lights on the shore, like countless gems shining on the water.

【Zhongli stood at the dock in a daze, his eyes piercing the sparkling sea under the night sky for a long time.

The sea breeze gently brushed his clothes, and his eyes reflected the flickering lights on the fishing boats in the distance, but the expression on his face was deep contemplation and confusion.

After a long time, Zhongli finally sighed softly and retracted his gaze from the sea.

"Xiao, let's go."

Xiao stood there, hesitating for a while before speaking softly.

"【Emperor], that······Before our Emperor left, he told me that if you don’t have anywhere else to go, then you can go there.

He paused, then continued.

"Do you want to······Going to see an old friend?"
