Chapter 27: Defeat Zhongli's Morning Appointment
"The last chapter of the book said that at that time, there was a great demon invading the Liyue Sea, and there were evil dragons lurking in the mountains..."
At this time, Zhongli was happily listening to books and drinking tea with Tian Tiezui.
Since his retirement, he seems to have become 5000 years younger, as if he has returned to the Morax thousands of years ago who regarded all living beings as ants.
"Hey, Zhongli!"
Paimon spotted Zhongli from a distance and quickly flew up, waved and called out.
"It's you, traveler. What's going on?"
Seeing Paimon waving at him from a distance, Zhongli stood up and walked towards them.
"I just want to ask about the martial arts competition."
Ying scratched her head embarrassedly. After all, she was probably the only one in Teyvat who went directly to the ancestors.
"Regarding this, the rumors in the world are not quite the same as the reality. I did compete with Chen Yue in martial arts back then, but the fight didn't last for three days and three nights, only three days."
In the eyes of mortals, gods are omnipotent. Even if Zhongli only fights for one minute every day, in the eyes of mortals, it is probably like fighting for a whole day.
"This matter can be traced back to when I met Taiji Bagua Zhenjun. At that time, he looked at me with a little excitement, and basically wanted to compete with me every day."
"Unlike me, his martial arts skills are more balanced, and he basically knows a little bit about all kinds of weapons. Even for me, after practicing day after day, his martial arts skills eventually surpassed mine. His determination to defeat me seems a little too strong."
Come on, I'm afraid my mouth will be crooked to the sky just to get to know the emperor. And beating a guy who's over 6000 years old is really cool.
"You mean Chen Yue finally beat you! Doesn't that mean he's stronger than you?"
Ying felt very surprised. If that was the case, then Chen Yue had the final say in Liyue.
"Hahaha... Of course it's impossible. The reason why his martial arts are better than mine is because he is proficient in more weapons than me. And we didn't use divine power when we competed. If we really had to fight it out, he naturally couldn't beat me."
"However, from a common sense perspective, his strength is probably very close to that of the god from the neighboring country. After all, both of them are martial artists, so the gap between them is relatively small. Moreover, Chen Yue himself has also spent some time in Inazuma, so he has some understanding of the martial arts there."
"Oh, so that's how it is! I thought that the Rock King Emperor couldn't beat his own little brother, the Immortal!"
Paimon suddenly realized that if Zhongli really couldn't defeat Chenyue, Liyue would not know who to listen to.
"You mean Chen asked him to go to Inazuma!"
Unlike Paimon, as a traveler, she is very good at capturing the details in words.
"I think it would be better for you to ask him in person about this question."
Not only has he been there, he even holds an official position there and has even injured the gods of that country!
"So, where are Chen Yue and the others now?"
With such huge news, Paimeng couldn't wait to find Chen Yue himself to confirm it.
"From a common sense perspective, if he is not in Liyue Harbor, then he can only be in Mount Ao Zang."
After a little thought, Zhongli looked towards the direction of Aozang Mountain.
……
Mount Ozura.
At this time, Chen Yue was practicing Tai Chi on the mountainside in a place similar to a sect.
In a sense, this can also be considered his immortal residence, and it is the closest immortal residence to humans.
Although he had taught mortals martial arts, it was just a brief instruction. So far, he has never accepted a single disciple. He is probably the only immortal in Liyue who has no disciples.
But he is an immortal after all, and he still has his own spies in Liyue Harbor.
As the door of his immortal palace was kicked open, the yellow-haired idiot and the UFO appeared in front of Chen Yue.
Chen Yue's mouth twitched when he saw this scene. He should have followed Liu Yun's advice and added another seal.
"Um, sorry to bother you."
When Paimon saw the young man in black who was practicing Tai Chi so gracefully, he actually mistook him for someone else for a moment.
"Do you know an immortal called Chen...Taiji Bagua Zhenjun? We have something to discuss with him."
Ying looked around this house that looked like a sect. The wood was of the best quality, the decorations were elegant, but the people were all wrong.
After all, in Ying's impression, Chen Yue is not elegant at all, and he only exudes a sense of scum.
"Do you think there is a possibility? I am the Taiji Bagua Zhenjun, and where is Chen Yue himself? The traveler."
After all, I was wearing black clothes this time, and I usually wear white when we meet, so it’s normal that he didn’t recognize me.
"Uh……"
The scene suddenly became very awkward, and even the sound of leaves falling to the ground nearby could be heard.
After a long time, Chen Yue spoke first.
"Tell me what you came to me about, I'm afraid it's about this martial arts competition!"
"No, the Traveler and I just wanted to ask you about something that happened in Inazuma."
Wow, this is so much of an act. "Just wanted to ask" do you have some misunderstanding about this word?
"Ahem, what else could it be? I just wandered around there, petted a few foxes, and teased a few tengu."
"If you really want to know, I will tell you in detail during our future journey, but not now."
After all, Ying hasn't been to Inazuma yet, so there's no point in talking about it now, so it's better not to say anything.
Paimeng spread his hands towards Ying, indicating that there was nothing that could be done about this matter.
"If you are interested in the duel, why not have a chat with me?"
After all, if you are here, don't leave (crossed out) and make the best of it.
"What do you think about the martial arts competition?" Ying asked Chen Yue curiously.
"It's just some activities that people do. You can earn money and hone your martial arts skills at the same time. Isn't that great? And for you, isn't this a better opportunity to earn Mora?"
As he spoke of Chen Yue, he looked in Ying's direction with ill intent.
"Huh, that's easy for you to say. But are you so sure that we can get first place?"
Paimon said unhappily.
There are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Liyue Harbor, and many masters usually just travel around the world without showing their faces.
The old fisherman in Wangshu Inn is one of them. He can kill the ruins guards in seconds without the power of the Eye of God.
"Don't you have any confidence in yourself? After all, you are the hero of Liyue Harbor and the honorary knight of Mondstadt. How can you not have this little confidence?"
"I think you just want to have fun! With your personality, you would participate in this kind of competition, right?"
"Haha, I will definitely participate!"
After all, it's really cool to participate in your own competition.
