Chapter 283 A Thank-You Banquet, Gui Zhong Makes His Appearance
"You're too kind, you're too kind."
Upon hearing Ayato's reply, Barbatos chuckled and then sat down as if nothing had happened.
"Well, Wendy, you're something else! Paimon and I suspected you back then, and it seems this first note didn't just appear out of nowhere; you brought it!"
Ying, standing to the side, crossed her arms in anger.
"Hey, don't be angry, I was just trying to guide you."
Just as Barbatos was about to continue offering words of comfort, Thomas walked to the door and knocked on the doorframe.
Upon hearing the thumping sound, the group turned their attention to him.
"Everyone, the sumptuous dinner ordered by the patriarch is ready. Shall we go to the dining room and continue our chat?"
Then, the scene changed.
At the dining table sat Xunfeng, Hu Tao, Ying, Xiaogong, Shen Li Linghua, Shen Li Lingren, Thomas, and Fu Ningna.
Since Ayato Kamisato was specifically thanking Ayaka Kamisato's new friends, the number of people present was indeed small.
Under the smiling guidance of Ayato Kamisato, the banquet quickly came to a close amidst laughter and chatter.
Incidentally, this dinner was definitely not about hot pot, and there were no hot pot games involved. (Emphasis from Thomas)
The next day.
Liyue Port, Rebirth Hall.
"Mr. Zhongli, the accounts for this month have been printed out. Please check if there are any errors."
Wangchuan, carrying a long list of bills, walked to Zhongli's door and politely knocked.
But after waiting for several seconds, there was still no movement inside the house.
Left with no other choice, Wangchuan pushed open the door and entered, only to find the place completely empty.
"Huh—that's strange. I got up early this morning to do the accounts, but I didn't see Mr. Zhongli leave. Could it be that he got up earlier than me?"
At this moment, Wangchuan, still confused, naturally had no idea... that Zhongli had already entered a parallel world!
The scene changes.
Parallel World · Clock
Unlike the two parallel worlds that appeared before, in this parallel world, Yu Guan did not appear to assign tasks, but instead directly sent the sleeping Zhong Li to a commoner's house.
Two hours ago.
As soon as Zhongli opened her eyes, she noticed that the decorations on the ceiling had been completely changed.
This sudden change made him realize immediately that he had been moved to another location.
However, after briefly sensing the danger using his divine power, he found no danger and lowered his guard.
Just then, a petite young woman dressed in a long, flowing dress entered Zhongli's room.
She had long, naturally silvery-white hair, and her eyes were as clear as the purest spring water in a mountain stream—deep and bright, sparkling with wisdom and gentleness. Her clothes were embroidered with Liyue's unique floral patterns, exquisite and delicate, highlighting her extraordinary temperament.
Looking at the girl in front of him, Zhong Li stared wide-eyed in disbelief, while secretly pinching his leg to test if he was dreaming.
The next second, as expected, the pain struck.
"Return...return to the end...? Is that you...?"
Realizing this was not a dream, Zhongli looked up at Guizhong with a slightly excited voice and asked a question.
"Huh? Why are you suddenly asking such a strange question? Don't think you can get away with pretending to have amnesia!"
As Gui Zhong spoke, he punched Zhong Li on the shoulder.
