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

At the first light of dawn, fishing boats often dot the golden sea at the dock of Liyue Harbor, and the busy figures of fishermen and the melodious fishing songs are interwoven into a hymn to life.

But today, the dock of Liyue Harbor is sparsely populated, and at first glance it looks like a deserted city.

At the same time, the streets of Liyue were bustling with people, walking in groups of three or five, all heading towards the same destination.

Yoseidou

"Zhongli, the Immortal Summoning Ceremony is about to begin, could you please not be so slow?"

"What if we delay the immortal invitation ceremony because of this? What should we do if the old Lord Yan blames us and no longer supports our Wangsheng Hall's business?"

Hu Tao paced anxiously outside Zhongli's room.

Looking at the tightly closed door, she wanted to kick it open and drag the old-fashioned guest straight to Yujingtai.

The Ceremony of Inviting the Immortals is a rule set by Emperor Geo for Liyue. On a specific day every year, Emperor Geo will reveal his true form in the form of half-scale, half-dragon and make suggestions for Liyue's planning and development for the next year.

For the people of Liyue, the Ceremony of Inviting the Immortals is not only an important festival for asking the Emperor for instructions, it is also an important symbol that marks the people of Liyue walking with the gods.

Every year's ceremony of inviting the immortals and paying homage to the Emperor allows the people of Liyue to feel the God's love for the world.

At the same time, the political stability of Liyue can also be added. No matter how evil, no one can shake the foundation of Liyue, because as long as the Emperor is there, Liyue will exist.

But for Walnut, she is not interested in these twists and turns.

She just couldn't understand why Zhongli could be so indifferent to this matter.

It's okay that he's slow in doing things on weekdays, but today is Liyue's annual ceremony of inviting the immortals, which can be said to be the most important day of the year in Liyue.

Emperor Yanwang is the god of wealth. If I offend him, how can I run my hall of rebirth?

Thinking of this, Walnut became increasingly anxious and could not help but speak faster:

"Zhongli, are you still not well? I don't think you would normally delay like this. What happened today?"

Inside the house, a magnetic voice came:

"Master, don't worry. The Rock King Emperor is always very punctual for the ceremony of inviting the immortals. Even if we go early, he will not show up early."

After saying that, Zhongli's gaze returned to the documents arranged on the desk, checking them one by one.

"That's true, but Grandpa said that no matter what you do, it's better to be a quarter early than three minutes late. You usually act so arrogant, how come you don't even understand this principle?"

Kurumi said with a pout.

Listening to Hu Tao's words, Zhongli couldn't help but smile slightly.

After he confirmed it again and found that there was nothing wrong with the document, he waved his hand and the document on the table turned into dust particles and disappeared into the air.

Hu Tao, who was feeling depressed outside the door, suddenly heard the sound of a door opening.

"Hey, Zhongli, you're finally well. This hall master has been waiting for so long that even the flowers have wilted."

Hu Tao looked at Zhongli and complained.

Zhongli smiled slightly and nodded.

"Thank you, Hall Master."

Kurumi waved her hand and said nonchalantly:

"It's okay, it's okay. Let's go. Luckily, Keqing is hosting the Summoning Immortal Ceremony this year. I've already contacted her in advance and she's reserved a suitable seat for us."

"Otherwise, with you in this state, Zhongli, I'm afraid we won't even be able to get into the outer area, let alone see the Rock King."

Walnut said with a pout.

"Well, the hall master is thoughtful."

"Let's go. At the critical moment, we still have to rely on this hall master. If Wangsheng Hall doesn't have me, it will go bankrupt sooner or later."

Walnut said this and walked forward.

Zhongli looked at Hu Tao's back, shook his head and smiled, then followed her.

Yujingtai.

The crowd was bustling with people, after all, it was a major annual event in Liyue, and many foreigners came to watch.

Hu Tao pulled Zhongli through the crowded crowd and finally arrived at the position arranged for them by Keqing.

"How about it, Zhongli, this hall master has a good relationship with people, right?"

Walnut said with pride.

Zhongli looked around and saw the vast view. It was also very close to the Summoning Immortal Platform, so he could watch the Summoning Immortal Ceremony from a better angle. He nodded in agreement.

"The Hall Master has a wide circle of friends and is well-known in Liyue. I think he must be popular."

Hearing this, Hu Tao nodded and said in a low voice, pretending to be profound:

"Well, Zhongli, even though you usually say so many great truths, I, the hall master, don't like to listen to them. This is the only thing I reluctantly agree with."

"Since you can speak, then speak more in the future. You will definitely get the benefits."

Then Hu Tao looked at the crowded crowd and secretly felt fortunate that she had met Keqing a few days ago and explained her request to her in advance, otherwise this situation would have been really difficult to deal with.

Just then, Walnut saw some familiar faces, who were being squeezed around in the crowded crowd and couldn't find a way out.

"Hey, Yunjin, Xingqiu, Chongyun... look here..."

Yun Jin and others heard the call and looked over, only to see Hu Tao standing on a high place calling out to everyone.

……

"Alas, it's worthy of being a ceremony to invite the immortals. There are so many people that we can't even squeeze in." Xingqiu complained.

"Yes, yes, let's go out early." Chongyun agreed.

At this time, Yun Jin noticed Huadian and asked curiously, "Hu Tao, why are you here? This position is not easy to get."

Walnut explained:

"Oh, this, I asked Keqing to arrange it for me."

"Ah, Keqing, yes, yes, she's the one who presided over this year's Summoning the Immortals Ceremony, so it shouldn't be difficult to arrange a seat for her. Oh, how could I have forgotten about this..."

Xingqiu slapped his forehead in regret, but then he remembered something and turned his gaze to Chongyun beside him.

"Chongyun, it's all your fault. When you saw Keqing a few days ago, you didn't even mention this to her. Otherwise, how could we be in such a mess?"

Chongyun, who was concentrating on eating a popsicle, immediately stopped when he heard this.

"How dare you say that to me? You didn't say anything."

Then Chongyun muttered.

"I don't know who was the one who was so eager to go to the bookstore to read those cheesy martial arts novels."

When Xingqiu heard Chongyun mention his novel, he immediately became excited:

"What did you say!?"

"You can insult me, but you can't insult my novel. You didn't say it, and you blame me for it."

"Yeah, right, that's not a Chuunibyou novel. You're right."

"Ahhh, putting aside the facts, aren't you at fault at all?"

……

Compared to Xingyun and the other person who were bickering with each other, Hu Jin's side seemed more harmonious.

"By the way, Yun Jin, have you heard anything about Su Mo recently?"

"No, what's wrong?" Yun Jin asked in confusion.

"That's strange. Su Mo, that guy, has been traveling for such a long time and didn't even write us a letter. He is so heartless. After all, we all went to see him off."

Walnut said angrily.

After hearing this, Yun Jin's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered and said comfortingly:

"Oh, that's hard to say. What if he was busy and forgot? Besides, Liyue and Inazuma are separated by an ocean. Even if he wrote it, it would take time."

"Eh, that seems to be the case. Never mind, I'll just assume that I misunderstood him this time. But if he doesn't bring me a decent gift when he comes back, I don't mind doing business with him."

Hu Tao's words made Yun Jin shake his head and smile bitterly, but then a trace of disappointment and sadness welled up in his heart.

In fact, Su Mo did write letters to the two of them, but the letters were temporarily saved by an unknown guy...

"Yunjin, Yunjin, look! Keqing and the others are here. The ceremony to invite the immortals is about to begin."

Hu Tao's excited voice broke Yun Jin's thoughts, and he and Hu Tao looked towards the summoning platform together.

Under the gaze of the crowd, the Liyue Seven Stars slowly walked forward, and then the other seven star members each walked to the side of the summoning platform and sat down, leaving only Keqing standing in the center.

Keqing today is different from the past. Today she is wearing an exquisite black and purple dress. The lapels reflect the brilliant light, and the hem of her skirt is split in the middle, fluttering with her steps like a flower dancing in the wind.

After a speech

Keqing turned and walked to the altar. A flash of lavender lightning flashed in her hand, and then a beam of light shot straight into the sky.

Clouds began to gather, a yellow light flickered within them, and a figure began to emerge from within, accompanied by bursts of dragon roars...

Please invite the immortal ceremony to officially begin.
