Genshin Impact: Our journey will never end

Everyone gathered around a table and talked about the past.

Chongyun looked at the Traveler and Paimeng in some disbelief. They actually knew the Immortal Xiao!

Paimeng looked at Chongyun curiously, "Chongyun, you also know Xiao?"

Chongyun shook his head and said that his knowledge was not quite accurate. He should have said that he had heard of your name for a long time. “Paimeng may not know that our sect of Taoist priests has some connection with the Great Sage who conquers demons. We have a long history of jointly exorcising demons and evil spirits, one in the light and the other in the dark. I didn’t expect that today I could see with my own eyes… the Great Sage who conquers demons, I am honored.”

Xiao also knew that he was Shen He's nephew, and responded calmly: "You're welcome."

Xingqiu also said respectfully: "I am honored to have the opportunity to meet the legendary Great Sage who conquers demons. I heard Chongyun mention him before. I remember you said that you must let the Great Sage who conquers demons know the importance of the alchemist who exorcises evil spirits..."

Chongyun coughed awkwardly a few times, signaling Xingqiu to stop talking.

Xiangling saw that something was not right and quickly came to the rescue, shifting the topic to herself: "We know each other too. During the previous cooking competition, the immortal helped me test dishes! Hehe, I didn't expect to have the chance to see you again. Happy Lantern Festival!"

[Alice: Oh, those who know it's a party, but those who don't know it might think it's a fan meeting.]

【Xiang Ling: Uh... it seems a bit like...】

[Kaia: I don’t know if you noticed, but there’s an empty chair. This must be a foreshadowing.]

[Paimon: Because someone is on the way]

[Wendy: Hey, you can just say my name directly, no need to hint at it]

[Tevarin: Barbatos, how do you want me to hold my head up among other followers in the future?]

[Wendy: But you never go, so I can’t do anything about it. Um… you can sit at a table with the Grass God’s followers.]

[Ying: 76 Lannaros will probably take several tables, right? Are we really going to sit down? ]

[Nashida: The Lannaras don’t like to leave Xumi very much, most of them are with Huanalana]

[Yae Shenzi: Oh, if we have a party, does Liyue have a big enough seat for us to sit in? ]

[Ying: Let’s go to Layer Rock and let the Ruotu Dragon King dance to liven up the atmosphere.]

[Ruo Tuo: How dare you insult me!]

[Paimon: Action Director: Kamisato Ayaka]

[Kamisato Ayaka: I…I can’t do that]

[Alice: Generally speaking, you can see Barbatos anywhere. I saw him last time when I was doing experiments in Xumi.]

[Wendy: Hey! 】

[Barbara: Lord Barbatos, please do something serious! ]

...

Everyone present except Zhongli, Hutao and Traveler wished Xiao a happy Lantern Festival.

Hu Tao frowned. This time they were just having a meal with some acquaintances. If they kept toasting each other like this, it would make Xiao feel nervous. Being so cautious was not the intention of inviting everyone to a meal!

Paimon asked curiously, "Hutao, what was your original purpose?"

Walnut imitated Zhongli's usual tone and replied, "Inviting relatives and friends to taste the fine wine in the cup and appreciate the colorful lights in the sky is to bid farewell to the old dreams and welcome the new ones. The above is what the guest official would say. I suggest everyone applaud."

Everyone in the room applauded, and Zhongli nodded, saving me from having to say it again. That was great.

"As for me, I just want to have some fun and treat everyone to some delicious food. Everyone has worked hard this year, whether traveling, guiding - cooking, doing business, exorcising evil spirits, exorcising demons - or the guest officials who help out in the hall from time to time. Ah. Everyone is amazing."

"And this hall master who can bring everyone together is the most amazing person!"

Paimon nodded affirmatively. Even though it sounded a bit arrogant, the fact that she could invite Xiao did show how amazing Hu Tao was.

Ying was also a little curious about the process.

Xiao briefly talked about what happened a few days ago.

Simply put, Xiao agreed to come here in order to avoid Hutao's trouble.

Zhongli felt that there was some connection between the stories of the Hall of Rebirth and the immortal Yakshas.

Because Xiao has karma, Hu Tao only invited friends who have the Eye of God.

"Please don't worry too much, Great Saint Conquering the Demons. We all don't feel any problems at the moment, especially this young Taoist priest. He has the power of pure yang to protect him, so he can handle it."

Chongyun was stunned and stammered, "This, these are two different things! Besides, were you the one who put the carrots in my bowl just now? Don't look away."

Xingqiu shook his head stubbornly, refusing to admit it! But Xiangling next to him exposed him.

"I'm on Chongyun's side this time, I saw it too! Luckily Guoba isn't here today. Guoba hates people being picky about food, he might force you to eat it!"

[Paimon: Guoba forced people to eat, and suddenly a picture appeared in my head]

[Xingqiu: The rice crust belongs to the Kitchen God, who hates people wasting food. As the saying goes, when you are hoeing the field at noon, your sweat drips down to the ground, but who knows that every grain of rice on your plate is the result of hard work]

【Cookba: Lululu~】

【Xiangling: Guoba means, young man, you are right! 】

[Alice: Why are you focusing on that? Isn't the highlight the scene where Miss Xingqiu picks up food for little brother Chongyun?]

[Beidou: In layman’s terms, they are like a flirting couple]

[Kaia: The God of Wind presides over the wedding and sends them to the bridal chamber! ]

【Wendy: Okay, okay, remember to treat me to your wedding! 】

...

Xiao sat at the table without saying a word, seeming out of place with the lively atmosphere.

Ying asked with concern: "Xiao is talking very little today. Is he not used to being in a crowded environment?"

Xiao: "The situation is not bad... It was around the eve of the Lantern Festival when I ran into an old friend. With his help, my situation has stabilized a lot."

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of whistling wind...

“The wind carries the seeds of stories…”

Paimon subconsciously continued: "Time makes it sprout...Ah! I accidentally finished the conversation!"

"But this familiar voice, could it be..."

Zhongli said, respond to me...Barbatos!

Hu Tao was stunned: "If I am not mistaken, is there someone outside the door? Please don't just stand there, open the door for them!"

"No, sorry to bother you!" Wendy's voice came from outside the door.

The restaurant door was blown open again by the strong wind...

[Paimon: A historic meeting! Two gods meet! ]

[Mona: Paimon, are you serious about what you said about accidentally? ]

[Paimon: Uh...it was just subconscious! ]

[Ying: Okay, okay, stop guessing about these nonsense.]

[Barbara: Lord Barbatos, you really... went to eat for free]

[Wendy: Judging from the plot, the old man should have told me in advance]

[Xiao Gong: Isn’t the biggest problem now the Great Sage who conquers demons? The Great Sage who conquers demons naturally recognizes Lord Fengshen, but Master Hu doesn’t. I’m afraid that Master Hu will ask everyone present to pay respect to the Great Sage who conquers demons.]

[Xiao: ...This is ridiculous]

[Alice: The meeting between Barbatos and Morax will definitely be very interesting. After all, they both like acting.]

[Funina: Acting? Then I have to watch it carefully]

[Ying: To put it simply, it's about sabotaging each other! ]

[Nashida: Then I don’t want to learn it]
