Genshin Impact: The Recorder of All Things

Zhong Gui doesn't need to worry about resting, since he's not considered a person.

Gan Yu had gotten used to not leaving get off work until this late, while Shen He wanted to stay with Zhong Gui.

As for Walnut, who was doing nothing on the side, she was a nocturnal creature.

Or perhaps the people at the Rebirth Hall are nocturnal creatures, keeping the doors closed for half the day.

In the Hall of Rebirth, only a few energetic individuals can see them during the day.

For example: Zhongli, Zhonggui, Hutao...

Zhong Gui threw down his pen and stretched.

"It's late, go to rest."

He hadn't been this busy in a long time. Even when he was with Nasita in Sumeru, it was just Nasita who was worried, him who was comforting her, and Elhesen who was doing the work...

At Zhong Gui's command, everyone washed up and went to bed.

Gan Yu returned to her room, which Zhong Gui had arranged; she would likely be living there from now on.

Zhong Gui and Shen He returned to their room, both feeling quite tired.

Walnut has returned...

"Wait a minute!" Hu Tao stared wide-eyed at Zhong Gui and Shen He as they entered the room...

Chapter 45 Gathering at Wanmintang

Liyue, eat at Tiger Rock.

A handsome young man with blue hair and a young man with white hair walked side by side.

Xingqiu is the second young master of the Liyue Flying Cloud Merchant Guild, and his family is very wealthy.

Because he didn't particularly like doing business, he became a chivalrous knight-errant.

Beside him was his good friend, his beloved family and brother, Chongyun.

Chongyun, heir to a family of exorcists.

The so-called exorcism families are actually the remnants of various demons and gods from the past, which caused evil spirits. There are too many of these evil spirits, and the number of yakshas is not enough.

Then came humans who were taught power and magic by the immortals.

In that era, they were the Thousand Rock Army of the French system.

In the ensuing battles, though few remained, they persevered, continuing to exorcise evil spirits for Liyue.

Those magical arts evolved into esoteric arts, and their descendants became families specializing in exorcism through esoteric arts.

Chongyun was the heir of one of these families, and he was extremely talented.

Although he had never seen any demons or evil spirits...

Speaking of which, he and Shen He are related. Shen He is a distant relative of Chongyun's family. If we follow the seniority system, Chongyun should call Shen He his aunt.

"Call him Uncle."

"Wanmin Hall," Zhong Gui said to Chongyun.

Chongyun: "..."

Upon entering Wanmintang, before they had even exchanged a few words, Chongyun heard Zhonggui say this to him.

Zhong Gui has been back for many days, but the group of friends has not been able to get together even once.

The main issue is that not everyone is in Liyue Harbor, so messages still need to be relayed.

They're all finally back today.

Xiangling was busy in the kitchen, Yun Jin was still on stage and hadn't returned, Xin Yan was waiting for Yun Jin, and Hu Tao had some things to do.

Currently, only Zhong Gui, Shen He, Chong Yun, and Xing Qiu are in the private room at Wanmintang.

As soon as Chongyun entered, he and Xingqiu looked at Shenhe. Zhonggui briefly introduced Shenhe's identity to the two of them, such as, "My fiancée."

Xingqiu: "╮(‵▽)╭"

Chongyun: "Σ(????)?"

"By the way, speaking of which, Shen He and Chong Yun are related. According to seniority, Chong Yun should call her aunt."

Xingqiu: "Ｏ(≧▽≦)Ｏ"

Chongyun: "Σ(?д?|||)??"

Chongyun was somewhat at a loss and subconsciously looked at his brother and best friend Xingqiu.

Xingqiu: "Call him Uncle."

Chongyun: "???"

"You call Miss Shen He 'Auntie,' so you should call Zhong Gui 'Uncle.' And Zhong Gui and I are really good brothers, so shouldn't I be your uncle?"

If the setting weren't so inappropriate, Chongyun would definitely give him a berserk attack with his [Pure Yang Body] today.

Chongyun silently recited the calming mantra, activated the Eye of the Ice God, and suppressed the evil fire in his heart.

"Auntie," Chongyun called out respectfully to Shenhe, ignoring the other two things.

"I never thought I would still have relatives in this world..." Family is complicated for Shen He. He thought he had forgotten them, but he didn't expect them to still be in his heart.

"If you have any questions about your spiritual practice, I am willing to help you answer them."

"Thank you, Auntie."

The four sat down, and Zhong Gui began to recount his experiences along the way.

“Mondstadt, I’ve seen Mondstadt’s Anemo Archon, he’s a drunkard.”

"real or fake?"

"Of course it's true. I've seen the East Wind Dragon and the North Wind Wolf, and they all say the Wind God isn't very good."

"I heard that the Wolves of the North Wind in Mondstadt openly test adventurers, is that true?"

"Really, but it's best not to go unless you're brave; those wolves are pretty fierce."

"Oh~" Xingqiu leaned back slightly, "What about Inazuma? I heard that Inazuma was really chaotic when it was under lockdown for a while, and who did Raijin fight afterward?"

"Inazuma...it's a complete mess. All the capable people in Inazuma are gone, leaving only a militant and a comedian. What have the common people done to deserve this..."

"Oh, and then what happened?"

"Later, I went to other countries, and Sumeru was the most infuriating. That garbage religious institution!"

"Oh~ So when are you going to update 'The Seven Kingdoms of Teyvat'?"

"Gah..."

In an instant, the private room was filled with shouts of "I'll update," "Two chapters a day," "It won't cause any problems," and "It won't take too long," creating a joyful atmosphere.

What are you talking about? Why are you so happy?

Xiangling brought in the dishes.

"Lulu~" Little Guoba followed along, twisting and turning.

"We were talking about the pigeons," Xingqiu said with a smile, then he leaned close to Zhong Gui's ear and whispered, "Zhong Gui, what's going on with Shen He? Where's Hu Tao?"

Hearing his brother's words, Zhong Gui sighed, "Alas, Hu Tao will have two sisters from now on."

Xingqiu: "Huh!?"

A short while later, Hu Tao, who had been the subject of their discussion, burst in.

"Has it started? Has it started? Am I too late?"

"Ha~ha~..." As soon as Hu Tao came in, Xiang Ling subconsciously moved to the side. Guo Ba stood aggressively in front of Xiang Ling to prevent Hu Tao from harming her.

"Hehehe." Hu Tao patted Guoba's head, then sat down on the other side of Zhong Gui.

Xingqiu, who was originally sitting on the other side, had already consciously moved further out.

Of everyone present, only Xingqiu dared to sit next to Hutao. Xiangling was afraid of Hutao's pranks, and Chongyun was afraid of Xingqiu the Second.

"So, how are Yun Jin and Xin Yan doing?"

In Liyue, few people know that these two are friends, and few would even think of it.

Because one of them is "traditional" and the other is "rebellious".

They appear to be two completely opposite extremes.

To the people of Liyue, Violet is an ancient and elegant art, while Sinyan is a noisy spectacle.

Although Zhong Gui later helped by sharing his limited musical knowledge with Xin Yan, which improved her rock skills, most people in Liyue still didn't like her.

No one in Liyue knows that this "refined young lady" and this "rebellious girl" are actually very good friends.

Yun Jin would secretly attend every one of Xin Yan's concerts to listen to the whole show.

Zhong Gui: "They haven't arrived yet. Yun Jin has a performance of 'The Goddess Splits the Temple' today. Xin Yan is waiting for her there."

"The Goddess Splits the Temple?" Hu Tao looked at Shen He on Zhong Gui's other side. "Shen He's story?"
