Chapter 463: Young Master: Madam, why are you here?
The brightly lit Liyue Harbor, the area near Tianheng Mountain, which is the location of Yujingtai.
After walking up and down the long stairs more than ten or twenty times, Charlotte couldn't help but sigh at the scenery of Liyue Harbor built at the foot of Tianheng Mountain.
Looking down from the altitude of Yujing Terrace, the scenery of Liyue Harbor is clearly visible, especially the city with lights all over the ground at night and the scene reflected in the sea, which is simply beautiful to the extreme.
After finding several different angles to shoot, Charlotte sat contentedly in front of a tea stall run by an old woman, who looked at Charlotte with a smile and said:
"Little girl, it looks like this is your first time here."
"Hehe, old lady, I have actually been to Liyue Harbor more than once, but this is my first time coming to Yujingtai, and my friend is also preparing for the Immortal Invitation Ceremony there."
"I see, you came here with a friend."
The old woman looked at Charlotte kindly, turned around and took out a pot of tea and cups from the shop. Charlotte also stood up and hurriedly helped the old woman to get them and put them on the table.
"Old lady, I'll do this little thing myself, serving cups and tea. You're not young anymore, and it's not easy to run this tea stall."
"It's okay, old lady. I have been running this tea stall for decades. In terms of experience and taste, it is one of the best in Liyue. Otherwise, there would be no stall like mine near the General Affairs Department."
Looking at the deserted tea stall with only herself as a customer, Charlotte didn't disbelieve the old man's words, but she was worried about her wallet. After all, the prices in Liyue were actually quite expensive, not to mention a prime area like Yujingtai.
Watching the old woman skillfully pour the tea in front of her, Charlotte took a deep breath, picked up the teacup calmly, and drank the tea carefully to avoid getting scalded.
As the tea entered her stomach, the aroma of the mixture of century-old tea leaves and century-old Qingce Zhuang pure water made the girl feel as if she were seeing beautiful scenes from the past.
At the same time, she seemed to be standing in the green tea mountains. Both the sound of the river and the natural air of the forest brought her an unprecedented sense of comfort, as if she was in a fairyland.
But this brief feeling soon disappeared. When Charlotte came to her senses, the tea had already been finished, and the old woman gave her another cup with a smile.
Charlotte looked at the full teacup, recalling the feeling just now for a long time without saying a word. Walnut, who came to pick her up not far away, also saw Charlotte's dazed look.
"What's the matter, little girl? Is the taste of the tea not to your liking?"
In response to the old woman's question, Charlotte quickly shook her head and said with a smile:
"Your tea is delicious. It is the best tea I have ever tasted. The taste of a foreign country and my homeland really makes me feel like I am in another world."
Charlotte's answer relieved the old woman, but her eyes turned to Walnut who was sneaking behind Charlotte and said:
"Little Walnut, it's not nice to tease other girls in front of your grandma."
"Hehe, my perceptive grandma finally found out. But Charlotte is my friend, she won't care about such a small thing."
Charlotte was a little confused at the moment. Seeing Walnut talking and laughing with the old woman, they seemed to be acquaintances, and their intimacy was like that of a grandmother and her granddaughter.
"Um, old lady, Master Hutao, you two know each other."
In response to Charlotte's question, Walnut introduced their relationship very concisely and clearly, and Charlotte also waived the money for tea this time.
However, Charlotte insisted on giving the money, so Walnut did not stop her. Everyone has their own aspirations, and she respected the other party's choice.
Grandma Ping also had a very good impression of Charlotte. Although she did not offer her tea, she still gave her a small cup of tea to take home and taste slowly.
Looking at Charlotte, who was dazed and holding a tea bag as she was being pulled away by Hu Tao, Grandma Ping turned her head to look at the lights of the Liyue Harbor below, her gaze fixed on the Hall of the Rebirth. Using her clairvoyance, she could see that someone was holding a homemade box to keep some food warm.
……
Northland Bank, somewhere in a reception room.
The youngest and last executive officer was tossing a Mora up and down in his hand. The pure gold Mora was smooth and translucent, reflecting the light from the lamp above the beam.
"I didn't expect you to come all the way from Mondstadt to Winter Solstice, and then from Winter Solstice to Liyue. If I remember correctly, you should have completed your mission, right, ma'am?"
"You don't need to consider the reason why I came here. Just know that this is the order of Her Majesty the Queen. That's enough."
"Hey, you're still the same, acting like someone owes you money all day long. But since the Queen sent you here, I have no right to stop you. As long as you don't affect my actions, you can do whatever you want with me."
The young master's attitude towards the person in front of him was neither friendly nor approachable. After all, no one wanted to stay with a woman who was high and mighty, acting like she was the queen and the boss, and everyone else was trash.
Moreover, Her Majesty the Queen has also ordered that the officers should not fight each other unless there are special circumstances. Even if he proposed a fight to let the person in front of him taste the power of my strength, he would not be able to get what he wanted.
"Don't look at me with those savage eyes of yours. There are differences among executive officers."
"Alas, my thoughts were seen through so quickly. I won't force you to fight, but I have to remind you that you should not be as arrogant as you were in Mondstadt. After all, the Seven Stars are not pushovers."
"I know my limits. I don't need someone as young as you to remind me. It's getting late. I'll go back to the hotel first."
The lady glanced at Tartaglia indifferently, then stood up gracefully and walked towards the door. The firefly mages standing on both sides of her also left slowly and closed the door quietly.
Looking at the empty reception room, Tartaglia rubbed his temples with a slight headache, feeling helpless about the lady's arrival.
……
In the living room of the Hall of the Dead, the table was already filled with dishes. Although Charlotte, who was staying here temporarily, was a little afraid of ghosts, her curiosity did outweigh these, so the two things offset each other.
Looking at the dishes prepared by Ye Li himself, the two Gui finally sat down in their respective seats with satisfaction, while Zhongli and Ye Yan, who had finished rehearsing the immortal invitation, also picked up their chopsticks silently.
Buyer sat next to Ye Li, who had just sat down after rubbing his hands. She had long been accustomed to the fragrance around her, and she skillfully picked up a golden shrimp ball and placed it in Ye Li's bowl.
The two Guis finally followed suit and put the seafood they liked in Zhongli and Yeyan's bowls, causing their expressions to stiffen.
On the other side, Hu Tao, who was sitting opposite Ye Li with Charlotte, looked at the wooden lunch box specially made by Wanmin Hall in front of them, and said to Ye Li who was smiling at him:
"Hey, Mr. Yeli, the food in the lunch box has been sitting there for a long time, right? It should be cold. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to put it here like this?"
"It's okay. I've kept it warm in a special box. Once you open it, it will look exactly like it was freshly made. It won't affect the taste of the food."
"But this dish looks like slime. I can't accept it."
Facing Hu Tao's picky eating behavior, Ye Li raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said:
"That's a pity. This is a brand new dish that Xiangling prepared carefully for you. If you refuse it, how can I explain it to her? After all, I swore that Hu Tao would definitely like it. I wonder if she will be sad and upset when she hears the news."
Hu Tao was annoyed by Ye's performance of sighing in distress. She suppressed her anger at being cheated by this guy and glared at Ye fiercely, deciding to remember the humiliation of being cheated today.
Just like that, under the gaze of everyone, Walnut picked up the chopsticks and ate the boiled fire slime in front of him. His movements were very quick and neat, without any delay.
