Chapter 196 Do You Want to See Who I Am?
"finally"
From a distance, Aping and Xianyun saw Guizhong and greeted her warmly.
Gui Zhong heard the greeting and turned his head to see A Ping, Xian Yun and others walking towards him quickly. A warm smile immediately broke out on his face and he waved to them vigorously.
Zhongli also turned slightly to look at the people approaching, his face still with a calm expression. At this time, everyone realized that Wendy was also here, but had just been blocked by Zhongli.
Ah Ping could no longer contain her concern. She walked forward impatiently, took Gui Zhong's hand, and looked him up and down carefully. Her eyes were full of concern and joy. She said, "Gui Zhong, are you completely healed? Are you used to staying in the Hall of Rebirth?"
Gui Zhong smiled and nodded, gently patted A Ping's hand, and comforted her: "Don't worry, A Ping, I'm fine. I'm used to everything here. Zhongli and everyone else are very caring towards me. Besides, there aren't many things to do in Wangsheng Hall on weekdays, so it's quite comfortable and pleasant to stay here."
Xianyun joked and said with a smile: "That's great. We were worried that you wouldn't be able to adapt since you're just here for the first time. But since you're recommended by the Emperor himself, the treatment will definitely be good." As he said that, he waved to Zhongli as a greeting.
Zhongli nodded slightly and said, "Gui Zhong is extremely talented and knowledgeable, and has a lot of insights into etiquette. It is a blessing for Wangsheng Hall to have her help."
Xinyang and Linghua were listening to their conversation from behind and couldn't help but laugh.
Linghua walked forward, came close to Guizhong, and said with a sweet smile: "Sister Guizhong, it will be more convenient for us to visit each other in the future. When you have nothing to do in Wangsheng Hall, you can come to Bailu Shuanghua to play anytime."
Gui Zhong smiled and replied, "That's great! I've heard from Zhongli that Bai Lu Shuang Hua invented a delicious milk tea. I've always wanted to try it."
Xianyun listened and reminded her, "Linghua, Guizhong is my old friend. How can you call her sister?"
Gui Zhong, however, didn't care at all. He reached out and pulled Linghua to his side, saying with a smile, "Calling you sister is nice. I like a well-behaved and polite sister like Linghua. Calling you sister warms my heart. Please don't change it. By the way, Linghua, are you willing to change your master? My mechanical skills are much better than Xianyun's."
Xianyun panicked upon hearing this. He quickly reached out and grabbed Linghua tightly, saying anxiously, "Guizhong, you can't do this. Linghua is my disciple. How can I just change masters like that? Besides, who says my mechanical skills are worse than yours? How about we have a competition?"
Gui Zhong folded his arms, a glint of competition flashed in his eyes, and a smile played on his lips as he responded, "Hey, Xianyun, it seems you're just not convinced. Let's compete. It's a good opportunity for me to open my eyes and see how much your mechanical skills have improved after a thousand years."
Linghua looked at Guizhong, then at Xianyun, a hint of embarrassment on her face. She whispered, "Sister Guizhong, Master Xianyun has been very kind to me. He was very attentive when teaching me about mechanical engineering. I... I've never thought of changing masters. Please don't let our relationship get damaged because of me."
After hearing Linghua's words, Guizhong's competitive expression instantly softened. She reached out and gently touched Linghua's head, saying with a gentle smile, "Don't worry, Linghua. I was just joking with Xianyun. There's no way we'll really get along because of this. I don't want to embarrass you."
Xianyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, but he still refused to give in. He snorted and said, "Hmph, Guizhong, I knew you were joking. How could I not understand you? But I don't intend to let this mechanical engineering competition go. We still have to compete. It's a good opportunity to let Linghua see whose mechanical engineering is more powerful."
Ah Ping watched them from the side and couldn't help but chuckle, saying teasingly, "You two are really childish. After all these years, your competitive nature hasn't changed at all. But that's good too. This competition is sure to be exciting, and we can feast our eyes on it."
Wendy gently plucked the strings of her instrument and interrupted with a smile, "Are you guys going to have a competition? How about I be the referee?"
After hearing this, Xin Yang couldn't help but ask curiously, "Wendy, why do I feel like I can't find you except in Mond, but I can see you everywhere else?"
Wendy's lips curled up into a sly smile as she responded, "Hey, I heard there was a happy event in Liyue, so I came over to join in the fun. And by the way, I can also ask for a drink."
"We haven't announced Guizhong's resurrection to anyone. How did you know about it?"
Wendy looked mysterious and blinked, saying, "Have you forgotten who I am? The wind brings news. Nothing in this world can be hidden from me, the God of Wind."
At this time, a breeze blew from the street, bringing a slight chill. A few snowflakes were picked up by the wind and swirled in the air. Ah Ping tightened her clothes and said, "It's cold outside. Let's not just stand here. Why don't we go inside and talk?"
Gui Zhong waved his hand. "It's okay. I haven't felt this way in a thousand years. This little bit of cold is nothing. I still want to go skiing! Zhongli, it's been snowing for two whole days. Is skiing allowed in Liyue now?"
Zhongli shook his head slightly and said calmly, "I'm afraid it's not possible now. Even though it's been snowing for two days, the snow isn't deep enough to form a suitable skiing area."
After hearing this, Gui Zhong showed a hint of regret on his face, but he quickly regained his smiling face and said, "Is that so? That's really a pity."
"If you want to ski, you can come to the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain in Mondstadt," Wendy suggested.
Gui Zhong's eyes lit up, and he asked curiously, "Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain? What kind of place is that? Can you really ski there?"
Wendy smiled and nodded. "Of course. Dragon Ridge is covered with snow all year round, and there are many natural snow slopes. It is definitely a great place for skiing."
Xinyang leaned over to Wendy's ear and whispered, "There are many monsters on the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain. Are you sure there's nothing wrong there?"
"Hey, we have Mr. Zhong with us. We'll be safe wherever he is. If things don't work out, we still have you and me."
Zhongli did not refute, but looked at Guizhong and said, "It's all up to you. Do you want to go?"
Gui Zhong tilted his head slightly and thought for a moment, his eyes flashing with anticipation and eagerness. "Go, with you here, there will be no problem."
Xianyun and Aping said in unison, "Let's go too. It's been a while since we've skied."
Linghua also said, "Then I'll go too. I haven't seen a snowy mountain yet, let alone skiing."
Xin Yang also agreed, "Since Ling Hua is going too, I can't be left out. The store just hired a few new employees, so let's test their abilities."
Zhongli nodded slightly and said calmly, "Since you have decided to go, let's prepare well."
Everyone walked into the store.
Xianyun scratched his head, looking back and forth among the various types of ski equipment, muttering to himself, "Oh, this is so difficult. Everything looks pretty good, and each has its own strengths. Which one should I choose?"
Xinyang suggested, "Master, why don't you choose a more comprehensive set of equipment? If you find any shortcomings, you can modify it according to your own ideas. This is your strong point."
Xianyun's eyes lit up and said, "That makes sense. I'll listen to you." As he said that, he began to carefully select from the many devices.
Xinyang thought that it was his and Linghua's first time skiing, so he chose two sets of equipment suitable for beginners.
When it came to Zhongli, everyone thought he would be as picky as Xianyun. Unexpectedly, Zhongli raised his eyes slightly and said in a calm yet surprising tone: "I want them all."
Gui Zhong looked at Zhong Li in surprise, "We don't need so much."
"It's okay, it's better to be prepared, these may come in handy."
After that, he picked up a few sets of equipment and walked towards the checkout area, saying to the clerk as he walked, "Put it on the account of Wangsheng Hall.
The clerk ignored Zhongli and asked, "Do you want to see who I am?"
When Zhongli heard the familiar voice, he looked carefully and found that the clerk was actually Hu Tao.
