It was at the end of the meal, and there were still many people lingering in the square under the huge tree of Wangshu Inn.
Most of them are businessmen.
After the canal was dug, most of the trade between Liyue and Mondstadt was carried out by ship.
This makes many people worry that Wangshu Inn will become lonely after losing the merchants who use official trade.
However, given the reality that trade between Liyue and Mondstadt has become increasingly frequent, the situation has surprised many people.
Wangshu Inn is more lively and busier than ever.
This is of course due to its excellent location.
Originally built on the official road, it connects Dihuazhou to the north and Guiliyuan to the south.
It is surrounded by places where major rivers converge. It can be said that merchants who pass by Wangshu Inn, regardless of whether they are transporting by land or sea, are willing to come here to rest.
While inquiring about some information, you might be able to sell some goods in advance and save a lot of freight.
Therefore, even if it only takes more than a month to really get busy, the number of people and cargo ships coming in and out every day is already a huge number.
Many people have begun to privately call Wangshu Inn "Xiao Liyue Port".
But today, or rather now, the businessmen gathered in Wangshu Inn are no longer talking about business information.
Instead, they were all talking about the sky fire that suddenly flashed across the sky just now.
In the open square under the giant tree, Harvey from Mondstadt and Qi Er from Liyue were sitting at the table, chatting about this matter.
"Harvey, you have also seen that from the distance, most of the meteorites that fell in the sky fell on your land of Mondstadt, so do you want to go back and take a look?"
Harvey shook his head sadly: "Although I am worried about my family in Mondstadt, it took me two months to get this business. If I go back now, all my previous efforts will be in vain."
After finishing speaking, he drank the slightly cold tea in his hand, looked outside, and said nervously and complicatedly: "I just saw that the Qianyan Army's large forces were dispatched, so I decided to wait here.
Let’s see if we can wait for some useful news.”
"After all." Harvey paused and defended feebly, "After all, the fire seemed very powerful that day, but after it hit the ground, it didn't seem to make much movement. Maybe."
"Maybe everything is not as bad as expected."
"May the wind god bless you"
He still had a sense of luck in his heart.
So even though he was no longer a devout believer in the God of Wind, he couldn't care less about it at the moment.
This business was an opportunity that he had spent a lot of effort to get. If he gave up on it, he would really not be willing to do so.
On the other side, in a deserted corner, a dimensional crack was opened, and in the silver light, the three of Ouyang appeared here.
Wangshu Inn??!
Xue Lian looked at the iconic giant tree and had not yet reacted to the environment in which she was in Daoji just now.
"Master, have we arrived in Liyue now?"
"It's guaranteed to be replaced if it's fake." Ouyang replied while also opening his mind.
It is not a search for precious jade.
After communicating with Ruo Tuo, he already knew that the child was currently in the Luhua Pond area.
He opened his mind to see if anyone nearby had been attacked by sky fire, or how other passers-by would react after seeing the sky fire.
In short, just collect some information.
Xue Lian didn't know Ouyang's situation, so she asked, "Well, Master, what are we doing at Wangshu Inn?"
"That's it." Ouyang, who had something on his mind, was preoccupied with two things. "Gui Chuanyu is now studying under Immortal Mandrill. I told you about this many years ago. You should know."
"They come back here at night to rest or take a short break."
"I told you before that you should stay with your child first, so I brought you here directly."
After explaining, he turned to look at Shen He again, half asking, half explaining his intention before continuing to speak.
"Shen He, I have something urgent. I have to meet someone, so would you like to wait here with Xue Lian, or should you go back to your home?"
Shen He looked at Ouyang's expression and asked directly: "I can't go together, can I?"
"It should be okay." Ouyang said with a bit of toothache, "I think it is okay, but I'm not sure if he is willing to appear in front of you."
Isn't that rejection?
Shen He sighed in his heart.
However, she did not dwell too much on this point. Instead, she stared at Ouyang with burning eyes and said, "Then I will wait for you here."
"but!"
Seeing the grateful expression on Ouyang's face, Shen He interrupted him and asked seriously: "You have to tell me, how long will you be away this time?"
Well?!
Ouyang was stunned for a moment, but immediately realized what was going on.
This was because Inazuma had been away for too long when she was cleaning up the ground, and now she wanted to leave alone, which made Shen He feel uncomfortable.
But this question is really hard to answer.
Who knows if he will do anything else after talking to the uncle, he really doesn't know.
"hehe."
Shen He rolled his eyes at Ouyang, said nothing, and directly pulled Xue Lian towards the inn.
"You know what you promised me before. Go and come back early!"
Unable to bear it, she turned her back to Ouyang and said these words.
Ouyang looked at the two people leaving, nodded and said: "Okay."
After saying that, he teleported away again.
Feeling Ouyang's departure, Shen He hugged the little fox and stopped.
She looked at where Ouyang was standing, with sadness in her eyes.
Xue Lian, who was following her, saw Shen He like this and comforted her: "Miss Shen He, actually you can persist. I can see that the head of the family will not reject you."
"No." Shen He rubbed the fur of the little fox in his arms, with reluctance flashing in his eyes, "If he even wants to meet someone alone, it means that the other person has a special status. It may not be a good thing for me to go."
After finishing speaking, he didn't know whether he was explaining or comforting himself by saying softly: "This is how I get along with him. I have never asked or disturbed him about what he wanted to do."
"Let's just respect each other."
Sighing again in his heart, Shen He cheered up and said, "Let's go, let's go to the inn."
Xue Lian looked at Shen He walking in front and didn't know what to say for a moment.
He wanted to persuade her with something, but when the words came to her lips, she could only turn into a sigh.
Forget it, this is the head of the family's business, it's not my turn to worry about it.
The perspective comes to Tianheng Mountain.
The multiple teleportations, and the ultra-long distance teleportation with people, gave Ouyang some difficulty.
After reluctantly reaching Tianheng Mountain, we stopped there.
At this moment, he wasn't too anxious.
The intelligence he collected at the center of Wangshu Inn told him that although meteorites did fall into Liyue, most of them actually fell into Mondstadt.
And it seems that the situation is not too bad. The expected earth-shattering situation did not happen.
Floating cross-legged on the top of Tianheng Mountain.
While Ouyang recovered his spiritual power, he relaxed his mind and headed towards Liyue Port.
He no longer had any extra spiritual energy to go to Liyue Port to find someone, so he had to inform the uncle in this unfriendly way.
He believed that the uncle would come over after feeling it.
Sure enough, not long after, Ouyang heard Zhongli's voice coming from beside him.
