Genshin Impact: Forced to Become a Follower of the Seven Gods

"what happened?"

Seeing Su Ming walking towards him while unbuttoning his coat, Zhongli raised his eyes to glance at him, then looked back at the book in his hands, his tone calm and steady without any fluctuation.

Su Ming took off his coat and pants, revealing the shorts and short-sleeved shirt he was casually wearing, and lay down on the rocking chair next to him, instantly turning on his bad mode. "The illusion should have something to do with the Grass God, but I can't figure out what the purpose of the Great Compassionate Tree King is in doing this."

In the original plot, the traveler at this time had not yet gone to Fontaine. The ability related to illusions and dreams revealed in the island this time was also a little foreshadowing for the journey to Xumi, but...

Su Ming touched his chin, half-closed his eyes, and rocked back and forth in the rocking chair, with a myriad of thoughts running through his mind.

And now, Ying has finished the main storyline of Xumi, what is the Great Compassion Tree King doing...

Planning to support the holiday industry?

"If you can't figure it out, just keep reading." Zhongli was not surprised at all. He reached out and turned the page, unconsciously teaching his students a little, "Some things can't be solved by overthinking. You can understand them better if you let them happen naturally."

Su Ming turned his head and looked at Zhongli who was leaning on a rocking chair with one arm holding a book. His legs, which were usually wrapped in black trousers, were now in shorts and were bent leisurely, looking lazy.

Su Ming nodded, then looked at the book in Zhongli's hand.

Looking at the dark cover, Su Ming asked in confusion, "Teacher, what book are you reading? I don't think I've seen it before."

Hearing this, Zhongli was slightly startled, and then he naturally turned the page, "In my previous life, I was a bootlicker. After my rebirth, I chose the second male lead who had been waiting for me. Since then, he has spoiled me to the bone, and the scumbag came back to beg for my love and pity."

A deep voice recited not-so-deep words, and Su Ming's face gradually stiffened in Zhongli's voice.

He was confused for a moment, a little bit incredulous, "Has light novels these days developed to the point where the second male lead becomes the hero after rebirth?"

It’s a bit fast!

Didn’t the overbearing executive fall in love with me a few days ago?!

Hearing this, Zhongli raised his eyes and nodded, "Although it's a bit unreasonable, but... it's also a bit fun."

Su Ming: ...

Su Ming looked at Zhongli with a puzzled look and asked hesitantly, "Sir, we still have many rare ancient books in Liyue. There is no need to read this kind of thing."

Just look at it, why look at it so openly?

Who wants to read Zhongli’s serious review of a light novel that isn’t very serious?

“I have read all the rare ancient books, and the lost Liyue books are also in my memory.” Zhongli was unmoved. He glanced at the last line of words and turned the page, repeating, “It’s quite interesting.”

Su Ming blinked his eyes, and a not-so-nice thought suddenly occurred to him. "Let me ask you, who is the protagonist? Who is the scumbag? Who is the second male lead?"

Zhongli looked up at Su Ming's dark green eyes, and after a moment's thought, he replied, "You, doctor, rich man."

Su Ming blinked, "Doctor... a scumbag?"

"Dig out the heart, dig out the kidneys, dig out the eyes." Zhongli added, tapping the book with his fingertips, "Have you never read it?"

"I really haven't read it." Su Ming's eyelids twitched wildly and the corners of his mouth twitched. He blacklisted this light novel author in his mind.

He lay back, seemingly having already accepted the fact that there were so many rumors flying around about him.

After a long while, Su Ming refused to give up and started to ask again, "Things like digging out the heart and kidneys should be replaced with others, right? So who are the little green tea and little white lotus?"

Zhongli paused, thinking for a while before realizing what Little Green Tea Little White Lotus meant, and said in a deep voice, "Rich people."

"Oh, he didn't even let himself go. That makes me feel relieved." Su Ming lay back down again, without any objection. "In order to make money, he even let Gong Ji have plastic surgery to get on the light novel rankings. Don't panic."

It's okay, it's just my face!

He can even shatter his soul, so what about his face? !

The faces of the Fatui have already spread to every corner of the continent of Teyvat!

Su Ming lay down nonchalantly, but he felt that it was a bit strange that his teacher who was thousands of years old was seriously reading an indecent light novel.

After thinking for a while, Su Ming once again turned over and sat cross-legged on the rocking chair, staring at Zhongli and couldn't help asking, "Have you read every one of them?"

"I've basically read what travelers have shared." Zhongli looked very frank and didn't seem to think there was anything wrong.

He raised his eyes and looked at Su Ming, "Why? Don't you want to?"

"It's a bit weird." Su Ming blinked, and the gentle smile he usually wore disappeared. His brows knitted together, seeming to be in distress. "It's okay for others to see it, but how could you see it?"

"Maybe I also have curiosity?" Zhongli thought about it and answered honestly.

He looked away and turned the page again, and couldn't help frowning.

"What's wrong? Is there something that doesn't pass the review?" Su Ming's eyelids twitched wildly, and he frowned in confusion, "Can this kind of thing appear in light novels now?"

Zhongli:……

Zhongli took a deep breath, closed the book and put it aside, then lay flat on the rocking chair with his hands folded on his abdomen, looking extremely peaceful, "For the rest, you need to sign up for membership."
