Chapter 161 The Neighbors Evicted

Liyue Port,

Chen Tianfeng led the horse and walked side by side with Ye Lan. Returning here again after half a year, this prosperous port city seems to have not changed at all, and is still prosperous.

Chen Tianfeng raised his hand to straighten his collar, turned to look at Ye Lan, who had replaced Kafka, and raised his eyebrows with a smile: "When I entered Liyue Port in a donkey cart, I thought, wait until I come back next time , I must change my appearance to a better one, at least not like someone who is on the run.”

Ye Lan remembered the last scene with a smile in her eyes. She glanced at Chen Tianfeng and her eyes moved: "Brother Chen, have you ever thought about what it was like?"

"A young man in a green shirt with a sword? Or a rich man with a net worth of millions?"

"Just millions?"

"Millions are already a lot. When I first arrived at Liyue Port, the hundreds of thousands of molas made me embarrassed for a while."

"Hehe, Brother Chen even thought of breaking the snow."

"Life is hard, life is hard, but now that I think about it, that period was quite interesting."

Chen Tianfeng sighed with emotion, looked up at the two majestic stone lions in front of the General Affairs Department not far away, and stopped: "Okay, let's stop here."

Coincidentally, the last time I came to Liyue Port, I separated from Yelan here.

Chen Tianfeng left the maroon horse behind, took the key to the small courtyard from Ye Lan, and said goodbye to Ye Lan for the time being. He glanced at the bustling streets and found a direction that was pleasing to his eyes before moving forward.

"Brother Chen!"

A voice suddenly came from behind.

"Um?"

Chen Tianfeng turned around and saw Ye Lan looking at him with a smile, waving his hand and shouting: "Welcome to Liyue Port."

"..."

Chen Tianfeng didn't answer, just smiled, waved, and turned to leave.

Ye Lan watched Chen Tianfeng go away, and only looked away when his back disappeared around the corner. She suppressed her smile and turned to look at Tianquan's assistant who had appeared at some unknown time: "Let's go."

"Yes, Lord Yelan."

…

Chen Tianfeng took the key and successfully found the small courtyard next to Tiger Rock according to the location Ye Lan said.

The small courtyard is not big, and it is said to be in Chihuyan, but it is still separated from the busiest street of Chihuyan by an alley. The environment is very good, and while it is full of fireworks, it can also maintain a reasonable degree of quietness.

"Squeak——"

Chen Tianfeng opened the door and glanced at the scene in the courtyard.

The courtyard is quite exquisite, with bluestone bricks and tiles, plums and bamboos, and a clump of orchids beside the courtyard wall.

I think after Yelan bought this small courtyard, she had no intention of letting it be abandoned. Instead, she took care of it from time to time. She never knew when she would get interested and live in this small courtyard for a few days.

Chen Tianfeng closed the door and walked along the bluestone brick road to the back of the house. As expected, he saw a hard stone well in the small backyard. He looked around and saw that the well was dim and the light of water was faintly visible.

Yes, using water is much more convenient.

Chen Tianfeng was very satisfied and walked around the courtyard, then rolled up his sleeves and started cleaning enthusiastically.

In fact, there wasn't much to clean. I swept away the fallen leaves accumulated in the yard, filled a basin of water, wiped away the dust on the furniture in the house, then cleaned the kitchen, and then chose a vacant room that I liked as a bedroom. It was easy to clean. Declare completed.

But there are a lot of things missing, not to mention other things, there must be pots and pans, and bedding... Chen Tianfeng thought for a while, took out a pen and paper, and wrote down the things he wanted to buy one by one.

Chen Tianfeng made a note, and seeing that it was still early in the morning, he didn't waste any time. He took the key, locked the door, and walked briskly through the alley, planning to go shopping at Chihuyan nearby.

I don’t know if Chihuyan’s products are complete... Chen Tianfeng thought, then he saw a familiar figure walking towards him, and he couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

"Mr. Zhongli?"

"Huh? It's really fate that I will meet my little friend here."

Zhongli smiled gently, with no trace of surprise in his eyes.

"Yeah, what a coincidence." Chen Tianfeng smiled back.

What a coincidence, this old guy must have been following me all the way until he saw that he was alone, and then he arranged for such a perfunctory chance encounter. The gaze he felt in Guiliyuan was indeed that of this elderly man.

"I wonder if my friend is free?"

"What a coincidence."

Chen Tianfeng cupped his hands with a sincere expression: "I have just arrived in Liyue Port and am planning to buy some daily furniture. I'm afraid I won't be able to reminisce with Mr. Zhongli."

"Oh? My little friend found a house?"

"good."

"Eating Huyan too?"

"……also?"

Chen Tianfeng blinked his eyes, subconsciously feeling that something was wrong, and had a vague guess in his heart.

"Haha, what a coincidence. A few days ago, on a whim, I bought an unused courtyard in Chihuyan."

Zhongli's smile remained unchanged and his tone was gentle: "Little friend, you might as well tell me the location of your residence. Maybe we can become neighbors."

Chen Tianfeng: "..."

Great, he already guessed the result.

Chen Tianfeng cupped his hands and replied: "Yard No. 7, Lane B, Chihuyan."

"Yard No. 8, Lane B, Chihuyan—my little friend and I are indeed destined to be together." Zhongli nodded lightly.

It's really no surprise.

Do the gods like Teyvat like to do this?

Everyone is so cautious, is he so dangerous?

Well, it's indeed quite dangerous... Chen Tianfeng thought for a moment, and if he and Zhongli swapped places, he would probably do the same.

The first is to appease him, so as to prevent him from thinking too hard or overthinking. The second is to ensure his safety. The last is to find ways to send him out of the country as quickly as possible - as far away as possible.

"I didn't expect to be Mr. Zhongli's neighbor. It's really an honor for me." Chen Tianfeng said sincerely, and then he was a little confused: "But why doesn't Mr. Zhongli live in the guest courtyard of the Wangsheng Hall?"

Zhongli glanced at Chen Tianfeng who was asking knowingly, and said calmly: "He was driven out by the hall master."

"Ah?"

Hu Tao drove Zhongli out? Why?

Chen Tianfeng immediately became interested: "Mr. Zhongli made Master Hu angry?"

"Well, let's talk while we walk. It just so happens that you want to buy furniture, and I can help you with some ideas."

Zhongli walked out of Chihuyan and explained: "Chihuyan is mostly about delicious food. If you want to buy furniture or other sundries, you should choose the Port Market first."

"I see, thank you Mr. Zhongli."

Chen Tianfeng and Zhongli walked side by side, and did not forget to ask: "Mr. Zhongli, why did Master Hu kick you out?"

"Because of the bill."

"Bill?"

"Well, a few days ago, I was happy and bought more things, and the expenses were a bit higher. But the master saw the bill, and he was furious and kicked me out."

Zhongli sighed and said: "The master is still young and doesn't understand the principle that Mora needs to flow. If it is left unused, Mora will become a stone of little value."

"..."

Chen Tianfeng couldn't comment, and after thinking for a while, he asked: "What did Mr. Zhongli buy?"

Antique? Gems? Or some exotic flowers and plants?

Zhongli looked at him, sighed again, and said: "It's the small courtyard where Chihuyan was eaten."

Chen Tianfeng: "..."
