Chapter 280 The Young Master’s Helplessness
On the streets of Liyue Harbor, Ye Li put aside his inexplicable feeling and, familiar with the business of the Wangsheng Hall, followed Zhongli to enjoy the flowers and walk the birds.
Not to mention, this feeling is quite leisurely, with a sense of tranquility and harmony.
After Ye Li experienced the fun of drinking tea and listening to opera, he couldn't help but think in his mind, why does this feeling seem so familiar, just like when No. 1 Ye Li first started wandering around Liyue, and it was so refreshing with the help of Ganyu.
Thinking of this, Ye Li's eyes flashed with clarity. Recalling the scenes of working day and night, he finally found the balance between slacking off and working and returned to normal.
That was a close call. I almost just ignored everything and continued to slack off.
Ye Li thought so in his heart, and looked at Zhong Li who was sitting next to him and listening to Tian Tiezui talking about the heroic deeds of Emperor Yan Wang. His eyes rolled and he couldn't help but raise a smile and said:
"Mr. Zhongli, do you think that the Rock King is really as omnipotent as the stories and legends say?"
"No, even gods have things they cannot do. No matter how magnificent the story of the Rock King is, it is ultimately just an interpretation of past history."
Zhongli calmly expressed his opinion and responded to Yeli's question.
Looking at Zhongli who picked up the teacup and took a sip, Ye Li naturally knew what the other party meant. However, just when Ye Li was about to respond, a hearty voice came from behind the two of them.
"Hey! Mr. Zhongli, and this stranger...young man whom I haven't met before, nice to meet you and nice to see you guys. I hope you are all well."
Ye Li listened to the hearty male voice beside his ear, and after searching his memory, he immediately knew the other party's identity. He was the legendary eleventh seat of the Fatui, the master of winter who crawled out of the abyss, who liked to challenge masters, a simple-minded but impure young man, Tartaglia.
The other party's message flashed through his mind. After thinking for 0.1 seconds, Ye Li turned back with Zhongli and stared at the other party under the uncertain words of the stranger face. The silence also made Tartaglia, who was forcing a smile, a little embarrassed.
Zhongli could naturally see the difficulties that Tartaglia was in, but when he saw a hint of ill intention flash across Ye Li's familiar gray-blue eyes, he realized that Tartaglia was going to be bullied.
Recalling the memory of the old friend who would bring bad luck but not fatal consequences every time he showed that expression and look, Zhongli just smiled silently, but that expression only lasted for a moment.
"Mr. Young Master, what do you want to talk to me about today? If it's not urgent, you can sit down and have some tea. I'll introduce you to this colleague who has just joined the Wangsheng Hall."
"Oh haha, Mr. Zhongli, you misunderstood. I just came over to say hello. But I'm curious about who this guy in front of me who looks a lot like you is. Maybe we can have a common topic."
Looking at Tartaglia who had adjusted her state and started to talk in a friendly manner, Ye Li did not say anything, maintaining a cold look and allowing Zhongli to explain the situation on his side.
Just as Tartaglia was listening, Ye Li sensed a familiar breath and his eyes couldn't help but look towards a certain place above the roof. The purple-haired figure standing steadily on the eaves looked so familiar.
Seeing the other party jumping back and forth on the roof at a very fast speed and landing steadily, Ye Li knew that the other party must have discovered the situation here. After all, the foreign Fatui executive appeared here, so it would be false if Qixing did not react.
After listening to Zhongli's story, Tartaglia looked at Yeli in a daze and with a burning gaze, and said with a hint of excitement in his tone:
"Brother Yeli, is your mastery of Liyue's ancient mechanical arts really as miraculous as Mr. Zhongli said? Can you let me see it for myself?"
"I don't have any tools on me, and the finished product I made before is also with the hall master, but I believe that Mr. Young Master will definitely not want it."
Ye Li had a smile on his face and told the truth as he looked at the frowning Tartaglia.
After all, the coffin was made by himself, and in terms of quality, it is no less than the special coffin made for a lady after her death. If Tartaglia really wants it, he can order one. It can be regarded as a token of his loyalty to the first order he received in the Hall of the Dead.
Tartaglia looked at Ye Li's half-smile and felt an inexplicable weirdness in his heart, as if he had stepped half a foot into a pit, but he had not stepped in completely and there was still room for maneuver.
His thoughts raced, and just when Tartaglia made up his mind to go to the Hall of Rebirth to see Ye Li's work, a serious, quick and crisp voice was heard.
"You have long gray hair, blue-gray eyes, and carry a black sword. Although you don't have a big wooden box, you should be the assistant who helps the General Affairs Department solve the case. Nice to meet you. I am Keqing, the Jade Star among the Seven Stars of Liyue."
Tartaglia felt very bad. The determination he had made with great difficulty was interrupted, so he was naturally in a bad mood. However, when he heard the other party's identity and name, he scratched his head helplessly, and his eyes followed Ye Li and Zhong Li to look at the beautiful figure that appeared behind them.
"Miss Yuhengxing, some things should be discussed in a first-come-first-served manner. I'm having a great conversation with Brother Yeli, and it's rude of you to interrupt us."
"Hmph, are there any polite people among you Fatui? But this matter is related to the case of the General Affairs Department. If you don't want to get involved, please stand aside and be quiet for a while. Please let me stand in line."
Keqing spoke sharply and showed no sign of backing down.
Looking at the cat-like figure with purple hair and twin ponytails in front of him, and the serious face that was exactly the same as in the Fatui intelligence, Tartaglia was very sure that the other party was not looking for him because Ye Li wanted to help solve the case.
Tartaglia observed quietly. After all, his identity as a Fatui was there, and the Seven Stars of Liyue would definitely not be so bored as to contact him through this aspect just because of a trivial matter. However, he was a little surprised that Ye Li could have a connection with the Seven Stars.
Zhongli took a sip of tea very calmly. He was not surprised that Ye Li could get in touch with Keqing. After all, he had spent a whole night investigating and had already learned the basic information from Grandma Ping. It was still in the observation stage, and it would not be too late to ask after the identity was confirmed.
Seeing that Tartaglia was slightly defeated, Ye Li knew the other party's difficulties. After all, when you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Even if he was stubborn, he would not dare to take action in the crowded streets of Liyue.
No matter how much Tartaglia loves fighting, she cannot hurt innocent people except to fulfill her mission as the queen. Besides, Zhongli is still here, so she cannot take action for the sake of her face.
There was no choice, so Tartaglia had to give in and give Keqing a chance to communicate with Ye Li.
