Xianyun was quite pleased; his disciple was truly sensible, even knowing to protect his master. However, he didn't know why, but he felt like some lines were stuck in his throat... it was rather uncomfortable...

[True Lord Liuyun Borrows the Wind: "You even dare to say 'this' instead of 'this person'! Ha, it's been a while, and you've become increasingly arrogant. This immortal is too lazy to teach you a lesson."]

In the story, Liuyun Zhenjun didn't argue with Paimeng because she had something more important to say about the fairy.

Logically speaking, asking True Lord Liuyun about this matter would be asking the wrong person.

Because Liu Yun is also a top-tier homebody. Despite her talkative nature, she mostly talks to herself and rarely interacts with others.

If I had to say, she might not have communicated as much as Gan Yu.

But as luck would have it, this time she actually asked the right person; she really knew about that fairy.

That's exactly what I was planning to do, taking the traveler to learn about the fairy's story.

Led by True Lord Liuyun, the group arrived at Guili Plain.

The immortals in reality realized something upon seeing this, and sure enough, Liu Yun immediately started talking about the topic of returning to the end.

[Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun: "Gui Zhong is the dust demon 'Hagentus,' who is lively, loves inventing, and enjoys excitement."]

The people in Lin Qiu's family looked at Gui Zhong. Gui Zhong was also surprised to find that he had a role to play.

Keqing's voice lines: About Shenhe and Ganyu's dinner party

"I didn't expect it to just be eating some flowers and herbs... I wasn't full! So I treated them to another meal, haha."

Chapter 343 Where exactly is the world filled with flowers?

Gui Zhong thought to himself: How long have I been 'finished'? I'm sure I wasn't the one who saved that person's ancestor.

Gui Zhong had already guessed who the fairy was, but he didn't expect Liu Yun to bring her up. Shouldn't he be telling Ge Chen's story?

Everyone else starts with 0 frames, why do you still have a 'pre-cast'? Should we start telling the story of Ah Ping from when I was still alive? Why don't you start from the beginning of time?

Xianyun pushed up his glasses and said, "You can't blame me for this. I'm just a talkative person, and I can't help but chat a bit more."

Xianyun had three great hobbies in his life: picking up children, inventing things, and telling stories.

This hit her sweet spot, and she started talking, and this time everyone loved listening.

In the story, Liu Yun introduces Gui Zhong to travelers.

[Liu Yun: "A long time ago, this place was a bustling market. Back then, Gui Zhong often invited friends to his home and would gather them around the largest stone table."]

"Narumi Kika is always the first to put his newly acquired treasures on the table. Hmph, speaking of that guy... he's mild-mannered, but when it comes to things he likes, he always loves to show off."

Speaking of Liu Yun, she has a proud and arrogant personality. She would even comment on a dog that just passed by.

[Liu Yun: "As soon as he took out his treasure, everyone couldn't sit still and immediately began to comment on it. Gui Zhong and I naturally wouldn't be outdone, so we each displayed our proudest mechanical creations."]

Looking at the illustrations and words in the book, the immortals were overwhelmed with memories, and a sense of happiness brought smiles to their faces.

Then I thought of some old friends I could no longer see, and that I could only recall those scenes through this illustration. Immediately, I felt a pang of sadness, and a faint bitterness filled my heart.

As the storyteller, Liu Yun in the book is deeply moved by the scene, and her words become gentler, conveying a sense of regret.

"Immortals, after all, each possess unique abilities, and it's inevitable that they're all somewhat arrogant. That's why I often argue with Narumi and Kika."

As she spoke, she seemed to get excited again, her competitive spirit kicking in! Even her tone carried a hint of arrogance.

"He didn't make any of his treasures himself; he's just good at treasure hunting. Unlike me! I always do everything myself!"

The reader smiled helplessly, thinking, "Your competitive spirit shouldn't be put to use at this time."

"...Ahem, I'm getting off-topic. Around this time, Gui Zhong starts watching the fun, sometimes joining in the argument, but more often she just talks nonsense."

Paimon asked curiously, "What kind of nonsense are you spouting?"

[Liu Yun replied: "It's all sorts of things. Sometimes it's 'Hey, stop arguing, you're both better than me,' and sometimes it's 'After they finish arguing, let's go down the mountain for a barbecue...'"]

Gui Zhong pouted. "What do you mean by nonsense? Isn't this the truth? They really aren't as good as me."

Besides, going down the mountain for barbecue is the important thing! Deciding what to eat every day is exhausting! I'm unhappy!

The Liyue people who were unfamiliar with Guizhong thought of Hu Tao; the two women really did have some similarities in personality.

Liu Yun continued, "She always tries to make everyone happy, and she's quite capable of it; no matter what nonsense she spouts, I never find it annoying."

Gui's pouty lips turned into a smile. Hehehe, I forgive you, you proud little bird.

"...And they never called me 'the fairy bird' or 'that woman.'"

Gui Zhong: Cough, what happened just now doesn't count. I forgive you. Liu Yun.

Paimon was embarrassed, realizing Liu Yun was referring to her: "You...you shouldn't be so stingy!"

Not only Paimon, but Xiangling was also a little embarrassed, as she had once addressed Liuyun Zhenjun in the same way.

Liu Yun chuckled lightly, "Ha. Anyway, while we were having a lively discussion, Maxius, the god of the hearth, had already served up the delicious meal."

[“Who wouldn’t give face to the Kitchen God? Naturally, the argument stopped, the table was quickly cleared, and drinks were exchanged…”]

Crispy rice crust, great!

The little ones from Liyue exchanged glances. They really did look alike. When Xingqiu teased Chongyun, it was Hu Tao who livened up the atmosphere. When Xiangling brought the food up, they stopped arguing.

The group was already thinking about when to have another meal together, wondering when the opportunity would arise.

In the story, Liu Yun got so into it that she even started to criticize the Emperor. It seems she has to comment on even a dog she passes by.

"Heh, to be honest, back then I complained that the cups the Emperor brought were always too square, not to my liking. Hey, can you guys even use square cups?"

Wendy completely agreed with Liu Yun's assessment; that broken cube cup was indeed no good! The biggest problem was its small capacity! It made drinking from it unpleasant!

Wendy gets impatient watching the old man slowly sipping his food from that square cup. Why can't he just drink straight from the bottle with me?

Zhongli, oh Zhongli, why can't you show off your son?

Zhongli seemed to understand Wendy's thoughts. He snatched the bottle from Wendy, poured the wine into a square glass, confiscated the bottle, and handed the glass to Wendy.

Wendy was on the verge of tears, and it was a rare occasion for her to use a small cup in a "refined" way.

Others, however, felt that the Emperor personally pouring the wine was truly worthy of the title of Wind God, showing great respect!

In the story, Liu Yun is completely immersed in his memories, telling stories from the past.

"We watched the sunrise and sunset from a high vantage point, enjoying fine wine, until one day, the banquet came to an end."

"Ge Chenlang City True Lord often stayed behind to admire the flowers with Gui Zhong before leaving. At that time, the glass lilies stretched from here to there, forming a sea of ​​flowers..."

Now, not only was she immersed in memories, but Ge Chen and Gui Zhong were also caught up in the memory overload, their minds replaying a 'carousel' of memories.

This is the first time readers have seen Granny Ping addressed as the True Lord of Gechenlang City. They only knew Granny Ping was an immortal before, but now they know her immortal name.

Paimon in the story was a little confused. Although the story was quite good, weren't we looking for a fairy? Could it be that Gui Zhong was that fairy?

Paimon's questioning interrupted Liu Yun's sadness. Gui Zhong was definitely not that fairy; she was just reminded of the story from back then by the sight of the scene.

Liu Yun sighed softly, "Very well, this immortal will now recount the past to you in detail."

The story that followed was transformed into a series of illustrations, the first of which was a landscape of Mount Aozo with a stone table under a tree.

"In the old days, I often argued with Gui Zhong about mechanical arts. We each held our own opinions and neither would give in."

Three people stood on the three sides of the stone table: Gui Zhong, Liu Yun, and Di Jun.

It is worth mentioning that at this time, Liu Yun was not in the form of a celestial bird, but in human form.

Her crane-feather-like clothes accentuated her figure, and her mature and elegant appearance was a sight to behold. Who would have thought that this big bird was so beautiful!

Character Voice Lines - Xianyun: About the Portrait

"The painting is not bad, it has some of my spirit, but... I will not pout, hmph."

Chapter 344 If it really exists, then I will definitely go.

The Emperor was even more extraordinary, and his attire was different from that of the present day. His robes were longer, and his shoulder armor was adorned with ribbons, making him look elegant in one word.

The people of Liyue are saying they can't take it anymore. When are we most sensitive? Every moment we see the Emperor!

As for Gui Zhong, this is the first time she has appeared in the public eye. Although she has not yet shown her face, she has already won the hearts of many people.

The large hem of her dress made her look petite, and her slightly raised arms, hidden by the large sleeves, made her appear even more pitiful.

[“I once invited the most impartial Rock King Emperor to a gathering to evaluate the merits of the two mechanisms…”]

"The Emperor said that Gui Zhong's 'Shadow Fox Mechanism' is slightly superior to mine."

The scene then shifts to a close-up of Liu Yun, who has her back to the other two, not wanting them to see her expression.

The face behind the red half-rimmed glasses was full of arrogance. One eye was closed, but the other was secretly glancing behind him to observe the two people behind him.

She pouted her little mouth and let out a soft hum.

"Hmph, though it's hard to say, I know in my heart that Gui is indeed a cut above me in terms of mechanical arts."

The scene focuses on Gui Zhong, whose long sleeves lightly conceal her smile, her eyes curving into crescents, exuding a youthful charm.

Readers are in a dilemma: a proud and aloof older sister, or a cute and innocent girl? Who should I choose?

Xianyun himself was quite uneasy; these were thoughts he didn't want Guizhong to hear! Now Guizhong knew them all!

"This prophecy is inaccurate; I would never have such a thought," Xianyun retorted.

"Yes, Yunyun is right." Gui Zhong smiled and stood on tiptoe to pat Xianyun's head.

Xianyun blushed and said, "This immortal will not argue with you."

After saying that, she ran away. She was actually quite introverted by nature and didn't know how to deal with the situation, so she chose to flee the scene.

No one tried to stop them. It's not surprising that the person in question couldn't stand this 'self-destructing truck' situation; Gan Yu was so embarrassed that she wanted to crawl under the table.

Gan Yu is still sitting here because she is even more shy than Xian Yun; she doesn't even have the courage to run away.

In short, although Xianyun ran away, everyone is still watching her tell stories in the story.

"As for the story of Gui Zhong and the True Lord of the Song Dynasty, it all begins with a bell."

The scene shows Gui Zhong making an 'invention', holding tools in her hand with a careful expression. What's most eye-catching is her playful tongue, which seems to be unconsciously sticking out and licking her upper lip.

Well, thankfully, Gui Zhong no longer has any fanatical followers, otherwise, I wonder if he would have kissed her a couple of times upon seeing this scene?

That can't be right. How could someone do something so blasphemous?

[Gui Zhong believed that while mechanical arts could not completely replace human composition, the finished product was comparable to simple compositions.]

The scene that readers love is not over yet. The scene then shifts to Gui Zhong after he finishes his invention, writing on a scroll with a brush.

What draws the eye in this painting is her small feet, barefoot and slightly off the ground, just like the purity of a young girl's heart.

The little toes intertwine merrily, proclaiming the playful personality of its owner.

[“Gechenlang City believes that music is the sound of the soul, something that arises from feeling, and could never be spontaneously generated by a mechanism.”]

Before we could even marvel at Gui Zhong's cuteness, the scene shifted to the mature woman beside him.

She was a mature woman with blue hair and a blue dress. She closed her eyes and gently played the instrument on her lap. Her serene appearance was the complete opposite of Gui Zhong's playful demeanor.

The readers stared wide-eyed. Who? Who are you, beautiful lady? Where's my grandma Ping?!

Damn it, turn back!

I already had a hard time choosing between Liu Yun and Gui Zhong, but now that there are three, it's even harder!

The next scene shows the two women facing off. Gui Zhong on the left has her hands on her hips, pouting and looking defiant. She raises her head slightly and stares at Ge Chen, her eyes saying 'unconvinced'.

Ge Chen on the right opened her eyes. Unlike her tranquil demeanor when her eyes were closed, she appeared more aloof with her eyes open. She stood expressionless with her arms crossed, looking down at Gui Zhong.

Seeing this scene, Gui Zhong felt a pang of nostalgia and looked up in the direction of Ge Chen.

Just then, Ge Chen was also looking at her, and the two of them were staring at each other, just like in the picture, except this time they both had smiles on their faces.

This shouldn't be happening here; the story should continue under the idle clouds by the car.

"The two argued incessantly, so I had no choice but to ask the Emperor to intervene."
