Chapter 295 Encounter at the Port
Inner world, next to the stone table in the bamboo forest hut.
Gui Zhong looked at the projection screen and saw the question from Master Liuyunjiefeng, which was tactful but pointed to the point, and said in shock:
"Is this the Liu Yun I know? How come the way she speaks has changed so much!"
"From a general perspective, it's not that she has changed that much, it's just that she rarely says something that hits the point."
"That makes sense, but how should Xiao Li respond this time? After all, Master Liuyun Jiefeng asked politely, and everyone present is a master, so even if you lie, you will be found out."
"That depends on whether Ye Li's answer is reasonable or not. If he doesn't reveal any valuable information, True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng will not let him go."
Morax and Guizhong were discussing very intensely. For them who were familiar with Master Liuyun Jiefeng, whether they could predict the next answer depended on how Ye Li diverted the topic that was unconventional.
Buyer did not join the couple's conversation, but just watched Ye Li's reaction on the projection screen with a warm smile. In his mind, he was constantly calculating the possibility of traveling through time and space using the inner world as a medium.
……
In the next time and space, on the continent of Teyvat, Liyue, next to a pavilion for people to rest.
The afternoon sun was shining, and there were a few spots of light on the tea table next to the pavilion. The white and golden spots of light were reflected by the falling tea, creating a blurry face shape under the tumbling teacup.
Grandma Ping held the teapot in her hand and poured tea for the two people beside her. Looking at the calm surface of the teacup that reflected her face like a mirror, she had doubts about Ye Li's life experience but was not sure.
But now Grandma Ping was smiling, because Master Liuyun Jiefeng had asked Ye Li a question so directly and even in a roundabout way not long ago, which really made her feel relieved for the first time that her big mouth was finally used in the right place.
Ye Li held the freshly poured teacup in his hand. Facing such a tricky question from Master Liuyun Jiefeng, he answered it instantly without any hesitation, even though he had prepared a draft in his mind:
"My parents are in a very far place, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to meet Miss Liuyun. I'm very sorry about this."
Ye Li's words were sonorous and powerful, and a look of sadness appeared very naturally on his face. He looked exactly like a child who had lost his parents, but he also had a strange temperament as if everything near and far was his homeland, but no one knew of his existence.
As for why he understands it this way, the reason is very simple. Ye Li's current attitude is not fake. He is really sad. It's just that he is hurt because a lot of resources have been wasted in the long river of time. Those are all hidden trump cards and life-saving methods. It would be strange if he didn't feel sad.
Master Liuyun Jiefeng adjusted her glasses, feeling a little guilty about the sadness emanating from Ye Li. She knew that her question had a great counter-effect, so she did not try to change the subject.
"You don't need to apologize. I was rude in asking and bringing up your sad story. I have some mechanical drawings here that I need you to look at. This can be regarded as the first academic exchange between the two mechanical masters."
Grandma Ping had never asked Ye Li questions about his background, she just took care of him as a junior. This was the first time she saw Ye Li so depressed.
Fortunately, Master Liuyun Jiefeng reacted quickly enough, and his straightforward apology and his technique of changing the subject were barely successful, unlike before when he talked about dark history without paying attention to the occasion.
……
In the inner world, in front of the stone table next to the bamboo hut.
Gui Zhong threw out the bomb in a rage, holding the playing cards that Ye Li had brought over, and angrily looked at Ye Li who seemed to say that she and Morax were gone on the projection screen, and said:
"How can this kid use this trick to avoid the topic? Wait until I come back and see how I deal with him."
"From a universal point of view." Morax waved his hand and threw out a trump card, saying calmly, "Ye Li did this out of practical considerations and gave a truthful answer. It not only discouraged Master Liuyun Jiefeng from continuing to ask questions, but also helped him change the subject with the help of others. It was really not easy."
Buyer waved his hand to indicate that the card was passed, and then looked at Guizhong who also passed the card, and said in a light tone:
"After all, given his personality, I'm not surprised that he gave such an answer. But it's still a little too mean. When I come back, I will also join in educating him, so that I can get familiar with the future process."
In the end, after hearing what Buyer said, I no longer had any hope that Ganyu could win, because the former won in too many ways.
Not to mention that the formation of the inner world under her feet was largely due to Buyer's contribution, just look at Buyer's terrifying ability to take the initiative for a long time. Even Ye Li, who was as solid as Morax, had been knocked into cracks. It was no wonder that Xiaoli No. 4 held hands with him.
All I can say is that smart women can be very scary when they act. In the end, I deeply agree with this because she did the same.
However, who Xiao Li will choose in the end depends on his thoughts. As a mother, she can only kick Xiao Shitou onto two parallel lines with enough choices, and let him make his inner choice.
……
Liyue, the continent of Teyvat in the secondary time and space.
Under the countless ships at the Liyue Port, on the bridge made of rare and hard wood, Ye Li couldn't help but sneeze, with a puzzled look on his face, and muttered:
"Strange, is it possible that someone is thinking about me?"
The evening sun was shining, and white waves were glittering on the red ocean. Having solved the questions related to the surprise attack by Master Liuyun Jiefeng, Ye Li came here to relax after discussing the issues related to mechanical arts with Master Liuyun Jiefeng.
Looking at the setting sun gradually setting in front of the bustling port, Ye Li's originally complicated mood due to what happened today gradually calmed down. He quietly watched the ships docking or leaving, with the corners of his mouth raised. His smile that was as gentle as spring breeze made many girls on the boats stare at him.
Ye Li looked sideways at a huge ship on his left and right, whose area was comparable to the large flying boats of his time and space.
If I guessed correctly, the largest ship docked at the port should be Beidou's Southern Cross Fleet, the Death Star. On the surface, it belongs to a personal armed group outside the control of Liyue's Seven Stars and Eight Gates, but in fact it is the largest maritime military deterrent in the entire Liyue. Its captain Beidou has a close relationship with Tianquan Ningguang.
After seeing the Death Star, which was many times larger than the one in the game, and the countless small and medium-sized ships around it, Ye Li turned around calmly and planned to go back to the Hall of Rebirth to rest.
But before Ye Li could take two more steps, a familiar yet unfamiliar female voice was heard, which made Ye Li stop in his tracks.
"Hey? You were the toy vendor who carried the boxes back then. It's been a long time since we last met. Did you follow my suggestion last time and go to my senior sister Yan Fei to solve the problem?"
"Who are you? Miss Jiuqi Shinobu..." Ye Li had a surprised look on his face, and then said calmly: "It's been a long time since we last met. I basically didn't use your previous suggestions, and I didn't encounter any trouble, so I didn't go to find your senior sister."
"I'm glad you didn't go find Senior Sister. Given her personality, I'm afraid she'll drag me to talk about the law all night after the matter is done. I don't mind that, though."
"Then you really worked hard."
A drop of sweat flowed down Ye Li's forehead. He also took time to study the Liyue laws of this time and space. It can only be said that the complexity is much more than the set of laws that he moved from his previous life and modified in that time and space. For someone who can memorize and remember it, Ye Li can only give a thumbs up in admiration.
