Genshin Impact: My confession was rejected, so I traveled to seven countries

The streets of Liyue Harbor.

"Ma'am, this fellow, you're talking about enjoying the scenery along the way. Aren't they all the same? You can enjoy it even if you run faster. I really don't understand." The young man said as he looked at the bustling Liyue Harbor and fell into deep thought.

Hmm? What should we do next? The Lantern Festival is still a while away, so we can't just wait around.

Huh? I heard Liyue has a rich history. Why not go sightseeing there first? It's a good opportunity to learn about the enemy situation.

Well, that's it.

The young man had just made a decision when another problem was put before him.

However, I am a newcomer and cannot just wander around. I need to find someone to guide me, but I don’t know anyone here.

Just when he was feeling confused, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a person out of the corner of his eye. This person had an elegant temperament and was so extraordinary that he seemed like an immortal.

The young man's pupils suddenly contracted.

Master!

This must be a master!

He said this in his heart with certainty.

Although this person looks ordinary, his subconscious mind tells him that this person must be a master. His elegant and refined temperament is something that ordinary people cannot fake.

I have always heard that Liyue has a long history and there are immortals there. Maybe this person is the incarnation of an immortal traveling around the world.

Thinking of this, the young man suddenly felt full of energy.

What tour guide, what Heart of God, how could it be as exciting as a good fight like this?

He immediately stepped forward and stopped the man.

"Hey, buddy, are you a master? Want to have a passionate duel with me?"

Zhongli blinked in confusion, looking at the person in front of him.

Is this person sick?

"I am a scholar and I don't know how to fight."

The young man's face froze. "Uh... a scholar, it seems not." He said this with some discouragement and was about to turn and leave. At this moment, Zhong Kai said, "Young man, you don't look like a Liyue person, do you?"

The young man paused and looked at Zhongli with some confusion.

"Huh? How do you know?"

Zhongli smiled slightly.

"Zhongli, your clothes don't look like Liyue clothes, but rather somewhat resemble Zhidong's. Furthermore, your accent and straightforward way of speaking are very Zhidong-esque."

The young man chuckled and said, "Hehe, I didn't expect that you, who look so simple, can actually see so many things. This is much more interesting than my colleagues."

Hearing this, Zhongli's mouth twitched slightly.

He looks so silly.

"Yes, I am the executor from Solstice. You can call me Tartaglia." The young man introduced himself confidently.

Uh……

This made Zhongli unable to do anything.

Are you admitting it just like that? Executives are all so open and aboveboard these days.

"Young man, you're quite amusing. You've just revealed your identity. Aren't you afraid I'll report you to the Thousand Flames Army? After all, if an officer from Zhidong comes to Liyue and steals Liyue's secrets, that would be disastrous. As a citizen of Liyue, I naturally have a responsibility to protect Liyue."

Tartaglia: "Haha, brother, you're joking. Although I'm an executive officer of Winter Solstice, I came to Liyue this time just to experience the local customs and learn about Liyue culture."

"I'm not afraid of you reporting me, because I've already reported it to Liyue's General Affairs Department. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to openly admit my identity."

"That's true." Zhongli nodded, then asked, "I wonder why you just stopped me and said you wanted to challenge me to a duel. What's going on?"

When it comes to this, Tartaglia's momentum suddenly collapses.

"Alas, don't worry, Mr. Zhongli, I heard Liyue has a long history and is home to many immortals and masters. I'm very much drawn to it. Just now, sir, you looked so impressive and graceful, quite like an immortal. I thought you were a master. Now it seems I was being rude." His tone was filled with disappointment. "I thought he was lucky, having met a worthy opponent upon arrival, but it turned out to be a scholar, and he doesn't fight scholars."

Zhongli couldn't help but smile. "No problem. I don't have the airs of an immortal, but I always enjoy making friends and chatting with them. I wonder if you have time to ask me to treat you to tea, so that I can show my hospitality."

Tartaglia's eyes lit up. Is there such a good thing?

"Oh? Sir, do you have such an idea?"

Zhongli smiled and nodded: "Of course, making friends widely is Zhongli's hobby."

"That's great." Tartaglia said cheerfully.

While he enjoys dueling, he also loves making friends. This gentleman before me looks refined and elegant, presumably well-educated. He's offering me tea, so wouldn't that be a great opportunity to learn about Liyue's current situation while also getting his treat for free? Kill two birds with one stone, so why not?

Just as the two were talking happily, a businessman suddenly came up and saw Zhongli with a happy face.

"Mr. Zhongli, I finally found you!"

Zhongli was also a little confused.

"Oh? Does this gentleman want to talk to Zhongli about something?"

The man said excitedly, "Mr. Zhongli, don't you remember me? I was the antique dealer who visited you a few days ago. It's just that Mr. Zhongli was out when I visited him, so I asked Master Xiao Hu to let you know."

"Antique dealer?" Zhongli pondered for a moment. It seemed someone had indeed come to the Hall of Rebirth a few days ago looking for him, but he wasn't there at the time. It wasn't Hu Tao who told him about it, but rather a staff member inside. But that didn't matter.

"Oh... I have some recollection. It seems someone did go to the Hall of the Dead to look for me. Sir, you've come to Zhongli so many times, but is there something important? If it's something like a funeral, it would be better to go to our hall master."

The merchant shook his head. "Of course not. I'd like to see Mr. Zhongli. I recently have a batch of goods I'd like to buy, but I'm unsure of their authenticity, so I'd like to seek out a respected and knowledgeable individual. Unfortunately, none of the masters I've approached can tell the difference. I've heard Mr. Zhongli is quite knowledgeable in this area, and those masters have praised him highly, so I've come here to have him taste it for me."

Zhongli frowned slightly when he heard this.

The other party actually came to him after everyone else had failed. Isn't that a bit of a disdain for him?

The merchant seemed to sense Zhongli's thoughts and immediately promised, "Please come and taste it, Mr. Zhongli. Regardless of whether it's genuine or not, Mr. Zhongli will be paid."

Hearing this, Zhongli's brows relaxed slightly.

"In that case, let's take a trip."

It just so happens that for some reason Yunhan Society hasn't been performing recently, and since I'm free anyway, I might as well make some extra money. It also saves Hu Tao from constantly complaining about her having nothing to do.

And Tartaglia on the side was a little confused.

"What are you talking about? Zhongli, are you that powerful?"

Before Zhongli could even speak, the merchant took the initiative to introduce him: "Haha, young man, you're not from Liyue, are you? You don't know, in Liyue Harbor, there's a wealth of knowledge, Mr. Zhongli is second to none. He's knowledgeable in astronomy and geography, well-versed in both ancient and modern times, and can be called a master of Chinese studies."

"Antique Master? So knowledgeable!?"

Tartaglia looked at Zhongli in disbelief.

He originally thought Zhongli was an immortal and wanted to challenge him to a duel, but then he realized he was wrong. Just when he thought he was just an ordinary person, Zhongli suddenly transformed into a master of Chinese studies! ?

But now it seems that this is the perfect choice for his guide.

"Oh? Mr. Zhongli has such a good reputation?" Tartaglia said excitedly.

Zhongli smiled slightly and shook his head: "It was just a fluke, it's nothing."

Tartaglia, on the other hand, disagreed and thought Zhongli was being modest.

"Hahaha, Mr. Zhongli, please don't belittle yourself. Your abilities are obvious to everyone, otherwise you wouldn't say such things. In this case, I must make friends with you, sir. Besides, since you have this idea, I, Tartaglia, naturally cannot spoil your interest." As he said this, he looked at the businessman.

"You lead the way quickly, Mr. Zhongli is in a hurry and has a lot to do."

"Yes, yes, please." The businessman made a gesture of invitation.

Seeing this, Tartaglia did not hesitate and directly pulled Zhongli's arm with an excited look on his face.

"Let's go, let's go now. If they keep waiting, it would be bad if the goods get lost. However, I'm new in Liyue and I'm not familiar with some places. I still need your help in this matter."

Seeing this, Zhongli couldn't help but smile: "Let's wait for this matter, no problem, no problem."
