Chapter 343 Friendly Communication
Chapter 343 Friendly Communication
For now, after exchanging names, Gui Zhong smiled and praised: "Very nice names, very beautiful poems. Just by hearing these descriptions, I feel as if I have already seen the vivid, lively and fantastic scenes."
This sudden compliment was indeed beyond Yuan Zhuoyue's expectations, because she had always introduced herself.
Although in most cases, even if it doesn’t start with poetry, it is everyone’s first reaction after learning the composition of her name.
It's not a direct question: Your last name is 'Yuan', are you Japanese?
Or he would look at her with a confused and bewildered look on his face, and then say to her, I'm asking for your real name, not your cn, online name, or something like that...
At this time, Yuan Zhuoyue, who was already accustomed to this, would always say something like, "Xiaoxiang Yuanji, please learn about it," to explain his surname to the other party.
But now, Yuan Zhuoyue has not heard similar words, and even feels a little uncomfortable.
Then Yuan Zhuoyue heard Guizhong's lively and approachable voice again, saying, "But now, I live in the mortal world as a human. In Liyue Harbor, I opened a shop selling small toys, and I use the pseudonym 'Zhonggui'. You can call me that, but of course, you can also just... call me Guizhong."
Yuan Zhuoyue: “……?”
Is it a bit too hasty to just read the name backwards?
How to say it? It's like a fairy hiding her identity and traveling in the mortal world. As long as you see through her identity, you will feel like you have a fairy fate.
And the voice of Gui Zhong, full of smiles, continued to be heard: "...I don't know how you would like me to address you?"
Yuan Zhuoyue didn't know why the topic changed to this point, but since the other party asked so, he must have the intention to do so.
Perhaps in the end, this demon god who had been traveling with Morax for many years and was known for his wisdom was using this question-and-answer model to collect the information he wanted to obtain and make corresponding assessments, without pursuing the matter too much.
Instead, he replied directly: "...It's up to you, I don't care about these."
After getting Yuan Zhuoyue's answer, Gui Zhong suddenly smiled and called out, "Zhuoyue."
Yuan Zhuoyue responded, but Guizhong didn't say anything afterwards. Instead, he looked at her silently with a smile on his face, his blue eyes that seemed to reflect the starlight and were like a flowing sea of stars.
It's as if he's waiting for something.
Although Yuan Zhuoyue could not read minds, based on what they had communicated before, he was able to understand what Gui Zhong was waiting for at this moment.
Yuan Zhuoyue didn't want to think too deeply about what the hidden purpose behind doing this was.
Instead, she directly chose the name that she thought was the most catchy: "Gui Zhong."
When Gui Zhong heard this, his expression was normal, he still had a smiling look on his face, but he slightly raised his wider sleeves.
It seemed as if the smile on his face was just to cover up, and it also seemed as if he was trying to hide the thoughtful expression on his face.
But after a moment, the raised sleeves suddenly fell down again.
Then, along with Gui Zhong's light voice, a question that seemed somewhat unrelated was transmitted to Yuan Zhuoyue's ears.
Gui Zhong suddenly asked: "...When you saw us earlier, you seemed very surprised?"
That's not...
I saw the "old friends" in my memory who shouldn't have appeared, but they just appeared in front of me. I discovered that the direction and context of some of the stories I was familiar with were completely different from what I was familiar with.
How could Yuan Zhuoyue not be surprised?
But even so, with Morax's physical fitness, the thick skin she had developed from years of work, and the experience she gained while playing Morax.
Yuan Zhuoyue's eyes were not red and his heart was not beating. His tone was calm, as if he was telling a fact: "Before I came here, I heard from the traveler that he was commissioned by me to gather all the immortals in Liyue Harbor here. I just never thought that there would be so many immortals here, so I was a little surprised."
Then Yuan Zhuoyue sighed sincerely: "The small hermits hide in the wild, the great hermits hide in the city... I just never thought that there would be so many immortals hiding in the city."
Yuan Zhuoyue originally spoke all the truth, without a single lie. At the beginning, he might have been pretending to be calm.
But in the end, Yuan Zhuoyue felt calm in his heart.
Of course, she did not forget to complain in her heart. All the dirty tricks she had learned from Morax's words and deeds were now returned to his best friends.
This can be considered as an alternative form of gift exchange, right?
Gui Zhong still smiled and replied: "...Some immortals don't like the troubles of the mortal world, so they live in seclusion in the mountains and forests. And it just so happens that we like the hustle and bustle of this world, so we appeared in Liyue Harbor."
What else can Yuan Zhuoyue say?
Apart from wearing the shell of Morax, she has no connection with these immortals.
You can only smile and nod in agreement after the other person finishes speaking, pretending to have suddenly understood and become an excellent listener who can provide emotional value.
Then the smile on Gui Zhong's face faded a little, and it seemed that he didn't intend to continue chatting and laughing with her. He finally looked like he wanted to get down to business.
Yuan Zhuoyue immediately straightened his expression, sat upright and listened attentively.
As expected, Gui Zhong then said, "This matter is indeed too bizarre, but... I and the other immortals have known Morax for many years, so we can naturally see that you are not Morax."
"And you already know that Morax has a special status in Liyue, so I entrusted the traveler to contact the immortals and tell them about his current situation..." Just at this point, Guizhong showed obvious hesitation on his face: "But this matter is serious, and we have no solution for the time being. Please don't leave Liyue during this period, Zhuoyue."
"It just so happens that there are many rare sights on the land of Liyue. The immortals and I are willing to serve as tour guides and accompany you to visit the beautiful mountains and rivers." Then Guizhong looked apologetic and said apologetically: "These are our decisions, and they are also our opinions. I hope you don't mind."
Yuan Zhuoyue immediately said openly: "There is nothing wrong with this."
