Jun Luoyu bought a few steamed buns, looking at the prosperous commercial street in Liyue and feeling extremely confused.
"What should I buy...what should I buy...I gave her a plum blossom hairpin last year, and it seemed like a set of rouge and gouache the year before. What should I give this year...Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh it's so troublesome to choose a birthday gift for a girl!
!"
As a social nerd who grew up solo, Jun Luoyu had no experience in choosing gifts for girls. The gifts from last year and the year before were the only two options he could think of.
Jun Luoyu was so worried that he scratched his head and felt that the buns in his mouth no longer tasted good.
"Oh, it was only then that I realized how miserable it is to have few friends, and not even anyone to discuss with. Xiangling will definitely not help me. She wears the same pants as Hutao, so no one else will ask..."<
/p>
The more Jun Luoyu walked around, the more entangled he became. Without any other ideas, he habitually looked at the stalls selling rouge, gouache, hairpins and other small accessories.
"How about... displaying it in pieces? No, no, no, that's my only friend at the moment. Give me clothes? There are no specific sizes. If I go by visual inspection, I have to give men's clothes, which will be buried. Give me antiques? I don't know how to give them.
I can't ask Mr. Zhongli to help me. Otherwise, I won't be a pig who wants to help others. Even if I really want to, I can't be so conspicuous."
The more Jun Luoyu thought about it, the more he became autistic.
Under such "huge" pressure, Jun Luoyu remembered that he seemed to be smoking now, so he found a small step, sat on it and lit a cigarette to relieve himself.
After lowering his head and taking a few puffs, Jun Luoyu suddenly noticed that there were two big white legs in front of him. Judging from the shape of the legs and the shoes, he looked like a girl. The direction of the toes should be facing him.
Jun Luoyu doesn't think any girl in Liyue will come to him. If it's Xiangling or Hutao, it's impossible to be so quiet, so I must be blocking the way!
So Jun Luoyu moved to the side and got out of the way.
"Hello, you are Jun Luoyu, right."
The owner of the big white legs spoke, confirming Jun Luoyu's guess that it was a girl, but Jun Luoyu had never heard this voice before, so he really didn't know who it was.
Jun Luoyu was very confused, there was actually a girl looking for him?
But he didn't dare to raise his head directly, because with Liyue's dressing style, it would be easy for him to see something he shouldn't see if he raised his head to reply, so he stood up and answered:
"Yes, I am Jun Luoyu, who are you? What do you want?"
Jun Luoyu, who straightened up, slowly looked up and saw a head of pink hair and two antlers that looked like green onions on both sides of his head.
Yanfei!
Jun Luoyu's hand holding the cigarette trembled, and he involuntarily took two steps back.
"Are you... Yan Fei? What... are you doing? I shouldn't have committed any crime, right? What do you want from me?"
Think about it, if one day you were shopping and suddenly Mr. Luo Xiangluo stood in front of you and accurately said your name, would you panic?
Anyway, Jun Luoyu was in a panic. He didn't think the top lawyer in Liyue Port could do anything good by looking for him.
Yan Fei was not surprised to see Jun Luoyu react so violently. After all, she was the chief legal consultant in Liyue Port, and it would usually not be a good thing to take the initiative to find someone else.
"Well, relax, it's not business, I have an elder who wants to see you."
When Jun Luoyu heard this, he understood that it was probably Mr. Zhongli who had said something to Grandma Ping, so Grandma Ping asked Yan Fei to come to him.
Although I am sure that I have not committed any crime, I still have to act.
"Come on, I don't believe it. Are you trying to say that your elder is in the General Affairs Department, and then take me there? I just came back a few days after taking over the mission from the Adventurers Association, and I definitely didn't commit any crime! You must have found the wrong person!" Although Jun Luoyu's performance was very exaggerated, Yan Fei didn't think there was any problem. After all, it was abnormal for a sixteen-year-old child to not panic when he, the number one lawyer in Liyue Port, suddenly came to his door.
"Little guy, don't worry. If you really commit a crime, it will be Qianyanjun who arrests you. It has nothing to do with me as a legal consultant. And if I really want to arrest you, I don't need Qianyanjun's help. With your small body, I
One person can handle it. There is really an elder who wants to see you. He is at Yujingtai, not at the General Affairs Department."
Yan Fei kept comforting Jun Luoyu, but Jun Luoyu thought that it would be a bit fake if he continued to act, so he went downhill:
"Really? Well, you, a barrister, won't fool me, an ordinary adventurer, so you can lead the way."
"Oh, what a vigilant little guy."
Yan Fei shook her head and led Jun Luoyu towards Yujing Terrace.
"Grandma, I brought you here. If you don't have anything else to do, I'll go and get busy."
Yan Fei brought Jun Luoyu to Grandma Ping, said hello and left.
"Hey, okay, you go and do your work, I'll talk to this kid."
Grandma Ping responded to Yan Fei and turned to look at Jun Luoyu.
"Little guy, don't be nervous. The emperor told me about your business. I came to see you today, old lady. I just wanted to have a chat with you. It's nothing serious."
"The emperor told you? Could it be that you are also an immortal? Then what do you want from me, immortal?"
Jun Luoyu started acting strictly according to his current character.
"Haha, don't be so nervous, kid. Old lady, I am just an ordinary old lady now. You can just call me Grandma Ping. I came to you this time just to chat with the younger generation and to hear what you think of Liyue now.
”
Grandma Ping smiled kindly, but the questions she asked were not easy to answer.
However, Jun Luoyu is someone who has filed records with Zhongli, so as long as he maintains his current ordinary persona, he will be stable.
"Grandma Ping, you are kidding me. What can I, a child, think of Liyue? It is good for people to live and work in peace and contentment under the leadership of Lord Yan."
Jun Luoyu gave an ordinary answer.
Just kidding, as the deepest immortal in Liyue Harbor, Grandma Ping, who is known as the True Monarch of Gechenlang City, came to me just for a simple chat? Only a ghost would believe it!
A poor answer to this kind of political question could cost you your life in minutes.
"What if, one day, the emperor is gone."
How could Grandma Ping let Jun Luoyu go so easily after being informed by the emperor that she was planning to retire?
The emperor told her personally that Jun Luoyu could serve as a bridge between immortals and mortals.
But Jun Luoyu didn't know what Grandma Ping meant by what he said. He only knew that if he couldn't answer right now, Yan Fei might have to come to him for business soon.
"The emperor has protected Liyue for thousands of years, how could he be gone? Even if the emperor is gone, wouldn't there still be various immortal families?"
Jun Luoyu said, don’t ask me. If you want to retire and take over from Qixing, why should you ask me?
Grandma Ping laughed after hearing this non-stick pan answer:
"As expected, as the emperor said, he is a cautious person who is afraid of trouble. But if I tell you that the emperor plans to completely hand over Liyue Port to humans, what do you think?"
Jun Luoyu was obviously stunned, why are you telling me this? Shouldn't you hire a Ningguang or engraving master for this job? What? Why are you planning to let me enter politics?
"This...Grandma Ping, with all due respect, you should go to Qixing to discuss this matter, right? I'm a sixteen-year-old child, so it's useless to ask me."
Grandma Ping's smile did not diminish, and she slowly explained:
"I'm not asking you to solve this problem. These things are naturally supported by the Seven Stars. It's just that the emperor is worried that the other immortals can't understand and wants you to be the middleman between the two sides. You have fused the power of the devil in a human body.
It seems that you are an immortal, but in the eyes of immortals you are a human being and are the most suitable candidate."
Jun Luoyu understood that he had taken over the traveler's job.
"If that's the case, it's naturally obligatory. But why did the emperor suddenly abdicate? And why do you need you to pass the message on his behalf? Also, I can feel that Miss Yan Fei is also half human and half demon. Can't she?"
Grandma Ping took a sip of tea and explained to Jun Luoyu:
"The emperor said that humans have grown up and do not need his protection anymore. Moreover, he cannot protect him forever. One day the people of Liyue will have to face the world on their own. As for why I don't tell you in person, the emperor said that you don't know why.
Some were afraid of him, so he asked me to pass the message on his behalf."
Speaking of this, Grandma Ping paused, looked at Jun Luoyu with a slightly meaningful smile, and continued,
"As for Yan Fei's child, one of her parents is an immortal and the other is a human. She is a half-immortal. Because the immortal blood is too strong, she is still an immortal in essence."
"I understand, I will be a good middleman when the time comes."
Jun Luoyu bowed his hands in agreement, and then suddenly thought that this Grandma Ping, who had been living in the world for a long time, might be able to give him some advice, so he hurriedly spoke:
"Grandma Ping, I have a little something to ask you."
"If you have anything to do, just ask, don't be too formal."
Jun Luoyu scratched his head in embarrassment and asked:
"Well, I have a friend celebrating his birthday in a few days. I don't know what gift to give him. You are well-informed, can you give me some advice?"
After hearing this, Grandma Ping smiled like an ordinary gossipy old man.
"It's a girl."
Jun Luoyu felt as if he had met his seven aunts and eight aunts, and he felt even more embarrassed.
"Ahem...yes, girl. Can you give me some advice?"
"It's great to be young. You don't have to worry too much. You should have heard this saying. What matters is the intention. Since you don't know what to give, why not make something with your own hands and give it to me? I'm sure that little girl will do the same.
Very happy."
Jun Luoyu said in his heart that there was no difference between saying this and not saying anything. If he had some skills, why would he be so worried?
"Thank you, Grandma Ping, for your advice. I won't disturb your rest."
"Go, go, old lady, I won't delay you in picking out gifts."
Jun Luoyu ran away, and Grandma Ping clasped her hands behind her back. Looking at Jun Luoyu's fleeing back, she sighed again.
