Chapter 179

Suddenly, Li Pan shuddered.

I hope you can still say that after knowing about my deal with your sister.

He thought to himself while looking at something in the crowd.

After seeing the tall yellow-black figure in the crowd, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Come with me."

After saying something to Kong, Li Pan walked directly towards the man.

"Hey? You want money, what are you going to do?"

Paimeng was confused by Li Pan's movements. He was about to speak, but was directly caught by Kong and followed Li Pan's back.

The two pushed through the crowd and soon saw the guy standing in the crowd watching the ceremony of inviting immortals.

"Mr. Zhongli, long time no see."

Hearing Li Pan's voice, the figure turned around and looked at Li Pan and Kong quietly.

"Boss Li, it's been a long time indeed."

Zhongli nodded to Li Pan and spoke in a calm tone.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Li Pan always felt that this guy's tone was a little more relaxed than usual.

"Mr. Zhongli, I'll be the host, let's go out and have a good time?"

Zhongli paused and looked at Li Pan in surprise. After a while, he nodded lightly.

"So...very good."

"Okay, let's see you at Xinyuexuan this afternoon."

After speaking, Li Pan waved his hand and led Kong and Paimon away.

"Where is Xinyuexuan? Can that person just now... really find Emperor Yanwang?"

After leaving Yuejingtai, Kong asked Li Pan.

The longing for his sister has left Kong with no time to care about anything else.

"I know, I know. There are two major cuisines in Liyue, Licai and Yuecai. Licai is famous for mountain delicacies, while Yuecai is famous for seafood. Xinyuexuan is the master of Yuecai. I didn't expect it to cost money. You actually want to invite us to such a high-end restaurant for dinner."

Paimon stamped her feet in the air and said excitedly that for the sake of Li Pan inviting her to dinner, she decided not to call Li Pan by his nickname in the future.

"Pamon, you are only useful at times like this."

Listening to Paimon telling these things neatly, Kong said helplessly that they were all traveling together, but he just didn't know where Paimon heard these things.

"Hey hey hey."

Paimon scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.

"Paimon is right. New Moon Pavilion is just a place to eat. As for that person just now, don't underestimate him. It is said that when Liyue was first established, someone had seen him."

Li Pan said mysteriously.

He wasn't lying when he said this. Although he might not look like Zhongli, his inner self would not change. That guy has been watching Liyue.

When he heard this, Sora's pupils shrank and his whole body became excited.

"It's been almost five thousand years since Liyue was founded. That guy has actually lived for such a long time. Could he be a demon god or...an immortal or something like that?"

Immortal is Liyue's term. Paimeng has just arrived in Liyue and is still a little uncomfortable with it.

"Who can say for sure, but that guy is quite old-fashioned and usually likes to talk about serious matters like this at the dinner table."

Li Pan replied with a smile, as for the money for the treat, he didn't pay attention at all. Kong had no money here, but Ying still had some, and he would chop her up the next time she came over to eat alone.

In Paimeng's expectant eyes, afternoon soon came, and Li Pan also brought Tutuyun and Dianxi to Crescent Pavilion, where they saw Kong and Paimon in the distance.

"Come on, come in when you come."

With that said, Li Pan opened the door and walked in.

"Boss Li, you are here. The dishes are all ready and waiting for you to come. You can tell when the food will be served."

Seeing Li Pan, the shopkeeper of Xinyuexuan immediately came up to him and said with a smile.

The man in front of him was a big shot. He single-handedly guided Pokémon to Teyvat, and all the seven countries had to fawn over him. He, a shopkeeper, didn't dare to neglect him.

"Meow~"

Meowth, who was acting as a lucky cat on the counter, suddenly jumped into Li Pan's arms and acted coquettishly. This was the shopkeeper's Pokémon.

"Okay, okay, I understand. Shopkeeper, come up now. When Mr. Zhongli arrives, take him to my private room."

Li Pan scratched Miaomiao's chin, handed Miaomiao back to him, and led Sora and Paimon into the private room.

There was no one in the private room at this time. Not long after, waiters filed in one by one and placed plates of delicious, delicious and tasty dishes on the table.

"Wow, it's so rich. When will Zhongli arrive?"

Paimon was lying on the edge of the table drooling, but he didn't dare to move his chopsticks. "Wait a moment, it will be there soon."

As soon as Li Pan finished speaking, the door outside was pushed open, and Zhongli, who was playing with a strange turtle in his hand, slowly walked in.

Seeing this scene, Li Pan smiled and said to Kong and Paimon.

"See, this person just doesn't talk about it. When he talks about it, people come."

"Sorry for keeping you waiting."

At this time, Zhongli, who walked into the private room, put the turtle in his hand in front of a table and specially prepared a bowl and chopsticks for the turtle.

Chapter 288 The Four Heavenly Kings and the Champion

"Now that we're here, let's start quickly. I can't wait any longer."

Li Pan took the lead and took the fish belly with chopsticks to signal the start of the banquet.

Paimeng, who couldn't wait for a long time, immediately started eating with the small chopsticks specially made for her.

After three drinks and five dishes, Li Pan leaned on the back of the chair and patted his belly with satisfaction.

"I'm really craving for food these days. I haven't had food from outside for a long time."

At this time, Tu Tuyun, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help it anymore.

"What do you mean? Are you saying that my craftsmanship is not good?"

Tu Tu Yun cooks all the meals at home. Li Pan said this, but he was not slapping it in the face.

"Of course not, of course not. Of course your skills are good, but the food you cook is a bit too bland."

In addition to talent, the accumulation of time is the most important skill in cooking. Even a fool can become a cooking god if he has been cooking for thousands of years, let alone Di Yun.

There's no telling what Di Diyun's cooking skills were, but the food he cooked was too bland, oily, and salty, as if his family couldn't afford it.

"Hmph, the food I cook is healthy."

Hearing what Li Pan said, Di Tuyun snorted twice and reluctantly let Li Pan go.

"Health as Shi Diyun said is essential, but occasional indulgence is also a pleasure."

At this time, Zhongli took a sip of tea and gave his opinion.

"By the way, Boss Li, why did you come to invite me today?"

The meal is over and it's time to get down to business.

But Li Pan spread his hands and pointed at Kong.

"It's not that I have something wrong, it's just that I want to find you Zhongli."

Zhongli then turned his attention to Sora and Paimon.

"Hello, Mr. Zhongli, Boss Li said that you know the whereabouts of Emperor Yanwang. I want to see Emperor Yanwang. Or have you seen a girl with blond hair like me?"

Kong stared at Zhongli closely.

But Zhongli just took a sip of tea calmly. He has lived long enough to know a lot of things.

The first time he saw Sora, he already knew who Sora was, and at the same time, he also knew why Sora came to him.

As for the lies Li Pan said, although he didn't know what was going on, he could probably guess it.

"I do know the whereabouts of Emperor Yanwang. As for the girl you are talking about, I also know a little bit about it, but because of some things, I can't tell you. I'm sorry."

Hearing Zhongli's words, Kong's eyes suddenly lit up.

After coming to the Teyvat continent for so long, this was the first time that he knew the whereabouts of his sister. Although Zhongli was a Riddler, it didn't matter. He just wanted to know whether Ying was still alive.

"Mr. Zhongli, is she still alive? How is she doing?"

Kong looked at Zhongli pleadingly.

As long as this, as long as he can answer this, he will be fine no matter what.

Seeing Kong's pleading eyes, Zhongli sighed.

"She's still alive and living a good life now. That's all. I can't say more because of the contract."

After the words fell, Kong chuckled twice, and the big stone that had been hanging in his heart suddenly fell to the ground.

Still alive and living well, that's enough, that's enough.

Their lifespan is still long enough for him to search slowly. The Teyvat continent is so big, he will always find it.

Kong, who relaxed, looked at Zhongli again.

"Mr. Zhongli, please tell me, how can I meet Emperor Yanwang?"

The fantasy was simple. Since Zhongli, who was suspected of being an immortal, could not say much, then Emperor Yanwang, the ancestor of all immortals, might be able to reveal some more important information.

Hearing this, Zhongli raised his eyebrows and slowly put down the tea cup.

"As you can see, Emperor Yanwang has now resigned. Even I have no way of knowing the whereabouts of Emperor Yanwang, but..."

Suddenly, Sora and Paimon visibly sank.

But the next second, Zhongli made a mistake, which directly made the two of them feel excited.

Zhongli glanced at them with his golden eyes and said slowly.

"Have you ever heard of the Four Heavenly Kings and the Champions?"

Sora and Paimeng looked at each other and shook their heads.

Seeing that the two of them didn't know, Zhongli continued.

"Liyue has already held a national conference. At that conference, eight powerful Pokémon trainers were selected to guard the eight gyms in Liyue. Those who passed the challenges of these eight gym leaders can obtain eight badges. .”

"Those who have obtained eight badges will be qualified to participate in the second Liyue Conference. This time, the five most powerful Pokémon trainers in Liyue will be selected and given Their title of champion and Four Heavenly Kings.”

Kongman's eyes were blank, not knowing what Zhongli was going to do with these words.

"Let me tell you what's next."

At this time, Li Pan took over and said with a smile.

"The concept of the Four Heavenly Kings and the Champions was actually proposed by me. This is not something I suddenly thought of, but a system that has long existed in another world. The Four Heavenly Kings assist the Champions in guarding one place. It is probably the same in Liyue. The original idea was that the selected Four Heavenly Kings and Champions would be inducted into the Hall of Fame under the watchful eye of Emperor Rock King. However, Emperor Rock King abdicated. I originally thought this matter had been blown away, but I didn’t expect them to still be in the Hall of Fame. Crowned under the watchful eye of the Rock King.”

Li Pan glanced at Zhongli with a half-smile.

"This is not surprising. As the God of Contract, Emperor Yanwang will naturally not take the lead in violating the contract."

Zhongli continued as if he didn't hear Li Pan's teasing.

Hearing this, Sora, Paimon, and Pikachu looked at each other excitedly.

There was no hope at first, but who would have thought that another village would suddenly become bright again.

"Then, next, I'm going to challenge the Eight Avenues Pavilion, Pikachu, Paimon, let's work hard together!"

Now that he knew that his sister was fine, Sora didn't worry anymore and focused on the things he liked to do.

For example...become a Pokémon Master first and see.

The Four Heavenly Kings, that title sounds really cool.

"oh!"

In response, Pikachu and Paimon both put their hands on Sora's and let out a cheer.
