Chapter 469 Shi Tou: Dear guest, please don’t open it!
Two days after the turmoil of the Immortal Invitation Ceremony, the sun rose from the earth as usual. At this time, in front of the gate of Xinyuexuan, Kong and Paimeng looked at each other and looked at Ye who they met by chance. Paimeng said with some surprise:
"Ye Li, why are you here too? I remember that you were taken away by Qi Xing the day before yesterday?"
"I am just retelling the process of the Emperor's passing. After all, I am also a guest official of the Wangsheng Hall, so I still need to discuss the matter of arranging the funeral for the immortal."
"Holding a funeral for the emperor sounds like a very tedious matter."
"I can't help it. This is the life of a worker. But the person in charge this time is my colleague. I was just invited by him to come and have a meal. But judging from the way you look, you must be waiting for someone."
Ye Li asked even though he knew the answer, but his expression still showed ignorance.
"To be honest, we are indeed waiting for someone, but he doesn't seem to have arrived yet."
Sora answered for Paimon.
“In that case, I won’t bother you any more. Mr. Zhongli is waiting for me inside. See you later.
Ye Li nodded, turned around and walked into Xinyue Pavilion. Kong and Paimeng also waved and watched Ye Li leave.
A few minutes later, in front of the gate of Xinyuexuan, Tartaglia arrived as scheduled, looked at Sora and Paimon, and said with his signature smile:
"Good morning, both of you. You're really quick. You're here earlier than me."
"After all, he's the one who's looking for you to make the connection. How can you get justice if you're not proactive?"
The traveling duo, who were still unaware that their wanted orders had been intercepted at the very beginning, had used the Wu Ji Lu to meet several immortals, and then came to this group of people according to the arrangement of the young master.
Now that the young master has arrived, they naturally get straight to the point.
"Okay, okay, don't be so anxious, little guy. I guess that gentleman has been waiting for a long time. Let's go in first."
Tartaglia looked at Paimon with a somewhat amusing look, spoke to him in a tone of coaxing a child, and then led the two of them towards the gate of Crescent Pavilion.
Tartaglia looked at the sign of Xinyuexuan and couldn't help feeling helpless. He originally wanted to book the location at Liuliting, but someone suddenly changed his mind and decided to book Xinyuexuan. He could only change the route and let Kong and the others wait here first.
Fortunately, it was just a change of location, and the plan to muddy the waters would not be affected much.
Not long after, led by the service staff of Xinyuexuan, Dadalia and others entered a private room deeper in the store.
At this moment in the private room, Tartaglia looked at a guy who came to eat for a free meal without any surprise, and politely extended his hand to greet Zhongli, and then the traveling duo with somewhat surprised expressions came to their respective seats.
"Let me introduce you. These two are the guests of Wangsheng Hall, Mr. Zhongli and Brother Yeli."
"Nice to meet you, traveler. I have heard about your deeds in Mondstadt. It is an honor to be invited by you, young master, to meet you."
"Hello, Mr. Zhongli, nice to meet you."
Kong and Paimon, who had not yet recovered from their stun, could only greet each other politely, and then looked at Ye, who was holding chopsticks and stuffing the shrimp balls into his mouth, with doubts in their eyes almost overflowing.
After taking a sip of coconut milk, Ye Li swallowed the food in his mouth, looked at the gaze coming from the air, raised a smile and said:
"Oh, we meet again so soon, but I'm a little surprised that the person you're waiting for is the young master."
"The coincidences in this world are beyond description. It seems that I don't need to say much about the following introduction. I believe that you two should have learned a lot about Brother Ye Li."
Tartaglia was not surprised. After all, the information the lady gave him mentioned the figure of Ye, and the current scene was just a small scene.
Besides, he was only responsible for matchmaking and didn't do anything bad overtly. Brother Ye Li was also grateful to him for teaching him. As long as it didn't affect the Queen's plan, they could do whatever they wanted.
More than 20 minutes later, in front of the gate of Xinyuexuan, Ye Li and others said goodbye to Tartaglia and went to collect gifts and materials for the immortals. On the way, Ye Li was calculating something with an abacus from time to time, muttering seriously:
"The financial support from the Northland Bank is a big project. Fortunately, I used the art of language to trick him into giving me 5 million. I can't let Zhongli spend all the money. The prices of certain items must be cut down. I just need to take this opportunity to replenish my research funds."
Ye Li did not try to hide his tinkering on the road, so he was naturally discovered by Paimeng, who naturally asked him why he did so.
"You're talking about this. When you get there, you'll experience it yourself. Then you'll understand me."
Paimon’s question mark face.
The group arrived at their first destination, Jie Cui Hang, which had a stock of Ye Bo Stone.
Looking at the grand store, Ye Li and Zhong Li walked in, followed closely by Paimeng and Kong, and came to the stone.
"Hey, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Jie Cui Hang. Would you like to try your luck with some rough stones? It's cheap and fun. Maybe you can make a fortune."
Shi Tou looked at Zhongli and Ye Li, who were dressed like wealthy people, very attentively. He planned to use his eloquence to get the two guests to open up to him and earn some sales for himself.
Ye Li had no interest in this kind of gambling stone game. After all, getting rich as Stone said might lead to bankruptcy. However, Ye Li did not recommend trying it.
After all, he is the child of the two demon gods Morax and Hagentus. Although he knows everything about natural things on the earth, such as minerals, it is easy for him to tell the authenticity and preciousness of them at a glance.
There is also the method of memory exploration. The good quality of a stone cannot be discovered all at once. Once the perception is opened, the age and impurities of the stone will be revealed.
Paimeng refused, and Shitou also understood the purpose of Ye Li and his group's visit, so he took out three Yebo stones of different qualities from the inventory and let Ye Li choose.
Ye Li took a quick look and found that the quality was actually similar, except that some were bright and some were not.
"What should I do? I can't quite see it."
At this moment, Paimeng was scratching her head in confusion. She had no idea about the quality of the stone, so she had to ask for help from the people around her.
Kong said that he didn't understand, but Zhong Kai said he wanted them all, and this sentence left Kong and Paimon speechless.
Paimeng looked at Ye Li, who was twitching his eyes and clacking an abacus in his hand, and finally understood what the other party meant by his previous words.
This is because he doesn't want to say bad things in front of others, so he uses that ambiguous way to remind them.
Although it was not the first time that Shitou heard the idea of wanting everything, Zhongli's matter-of-fact look reminded him of the rumors about a guest official of the Wangsheng Hall, and his whole face was filled with smiles.
Just when Shitou was planning to press on and take down this huge order, Ye Li's devilish words interrupted everyone.
"No need to bother. Stone, I want to bet on stones, 1 Mora ten times."
Five minutes later.
"My dear guest, sir, sir! Stone, I beg you, please stop cutting it. If you continue like this, I will lose my salary this month!"
A tragic and sad sound was heard from the stone, and Paimeng was a little scared when he heard it. Looking at Ye Li who took out the stone knife and cut into pieces of top-grade ore, his expression was full of surprise.
Zhongli watched all this very calmly, and expressed his admiration for Ye Li's method, which seemed like he had many years of mining experience.
Faced with Shitou's howling that almost made him kneel down, Ye Li finally got a Yebo Stone that he was relatively satisfied with. He sold the rest to Shitou and made a lot of money in return.
