Kong suddenly understood why Jiang Bai was so familiar with him. His character was exactly the same as that of the hall master.
"Are you the master of the Hall of Rebirth? I heard Jiang Bai mention you." He took his hand out and smiled awkwardly.
"Well, what did he say about me?" Hu Tao sat down beside her carelessly, ready to hear how her good subordinate usually praised her.
A drop of cold sweat ran down Sora's forehead. A normal person would understand that this kind of rhetoric is just polite. Why do you need to ask more questions?
Jiang Bai desperately winked at him and asked him to say something nice, but he held it in for a long time and nothing came out.
Hutao didn't have any trouble for him anymore and turned his attention to Paimon.
"You are so small, how did you fly?"
Paimon could only scratch his head at Hu Tao's curiosity.
"I don't know how to fly, I was born with the ability to fly."
"Master, let me introduce you to you." Jiang Bai stopped Hu Tao from asking any more meaningless topics.
"This is the traveler - Kong, the honorary knight who saved Mondstadt from the dragon disaster. This is his traveling companion Paimon."
Hu Tao opened her eyes in surprise, "The honorary knight who saved Mondstadt turned out to be you!"
Kong waved his hand humbly, "It's just a little help, not a rescue."
Hutao patted him on the shoulder, indicating that he didn't have to be like this, "You are too humble. Look at this guy from our family. He went to Mondstad and was beaten so badly that he came back with injuries all over his body."
Sora was even more embarrassed.
If Jiang Bai struggled a little when facing the lady, he was knocked unconscious without even touching her side.
In order to avoid further embarrassment, he planned to leave with Paimon.
"Well, we haven't eaten yet, we're going out to eat first."
However, this move did not succeed.
Hu Tao waved his hand and said, "It's rare for guests to come. Today, I am the host and invite you to the Wanmin Hall for dinner!"
"Okay!" Paimon's eyes lit up instantly.
What can I do? This is the only thing I can do.
Jiang Bai hugged his shoulders and followed Hu Tao, threatening in a low voice, "I mean Kong, you don't want our hall master to know that you were knocked unconscious by fools as soon as you met, right?"
The corners of Kong's mouth twitched slightly, he really wanted to be known by that Hutao.
"What do you want to say?"
Jiang Bai lowered his voice, "Our hall master has a somewhat enthusiastic personality. If she wants to grab your hand next time, you must not be caught by her..."
Sora gave him a strange look.
What did he think was going on, just like this?
Under Jiang Bai's threatening gaze, he still nodded.
"What are you two whispering about?" Hu Tao turned around and looked at the two people who suddenly stood still.
Paimon also stopped and looked back.
"The empty shoelaces are loose, let me remind him..."
Hutao's eyes fell on Sora's shoes, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Where are the laces on his shoes? I can’t find a reliable excuse...
Forget it, I’m too lazy to complain...
"Don't lose track..."
"Coming, coming!"
At this time, it was dinner time at Wanmin Hall, and the aroma of the food was flying out from the kitchen. Smelling this aroma, Paimon's mouth watered unconsciously, and he couldn't wait to have a big meal.
Xiangling doesn't have a chef today, so she and Guoba are working as helpers in the store.
"Xiang Ling, is there still a table? I'll treat my new friends to dinner."
"Yes, come over here." Xiang Ling asked these people to sit down at an empty table and looked curiously at the two people they met.
"Who are these two?"
"This is Traveler Kong, and this is Paimon." After Hutao introduced Xiangling, he turned to introduce to the two of them, "This is Xiangling, my friend, and her cooking skills are second to none in Liyue.
"
"Stop praising me and order your food quickly." Xiangling was a little embarrassed by her praise. She looked at Kong and Paimon, "You two must have just come to Liyue. Do you want to try our Liyue food?"
Specialties?”
"Yeah! Of course when you come to a place, you have to eat its specialties!" Paimon rubbed his hands excitedly.
Xiangling wrote down the name of the dish reported by Hutao and was about to pass it on to the chef. Hutao shouted: "Come and eat with us later!"
"Busy."
"Then it seems we can only do it next time."
Under normal circumstances, Hutao's dinner party is relatively casual, with several people chatting while eating.
Hu Tao also asked about the purpose of the two people's visit.
Sora briefly explained why he came to see his sister.
Hu Tao suddenly said, "Is that so? Does your sister look similar to you? If I see her, I will notify you as soon as possible."
"Thank you." Kong thanked him sincerely.
"Tomorrow is our annual ceremony to invite immortals in Liyue. It's a rare visit, so don't miss it!"
Paimon's mouth was stuffed with food, and his speech was a little slurred. "We are also here to participate in the immortal invitation ceremony. I don't know if we can see the King of Rock tomorrow."
"As long as you don't miss the time, you will definitely be able to see our Prince Yan, but it's a bit difficult to talk to Prince Yan."
After dinner ended happily, Paimon floated out of Manmin Hall, stroking his round belly.
"I'm so full. Liyue's food is so delicious."
Hutao nodded proudly, "When you come to Liyue, the most important thing you can't miss is the delicious food!"
"Do you have a place to stay at night? Do you want to come to our Purity Hall to rest for a night?"
"This" Kong and Paimon looked at each other, both hesitant.
They initially planned to stay in the Hall of Rebirth, but after going in and looking at it, they didn't think much about it anymore. They always felt that sleeping there would give them nightmares.
Seeing their fear, Jiang Bai hissed, "You must be afraid, right?"
Paimon rarely retorted.
"We have already booked a hotel." Sora lied.
They didn't want to go to Hutao and didn't force it, "Then let's meet here at nine o'clock tomorrow morning and we'll go to Yujing Terrace together."
"See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
The few of them separated, and Hutao walked away from the living room with his head in his hands.
Jiang Bai walked side by side, "Hall Master, what do you think of Kong?"
"Which aspect are you referring to?"
"Appearance, personality, ability."
Hu Taopo gave him a strange look, "Except for the first one that you can tell at the first meeting, which of the following ones can be known at the first meeting?"
"I was just asking."
"The appearance is not bad, but this hall master is not a person who cares about appearance."
"Then Hall Master, what do you think of Chongyun and Xingqiu's appearance?"
Hu Tao's eyes became even weirder, "Why do you ask this?"
"I'm just curious, Master, what do you think of them?"
"Everything's okay!" Hutao gave a snake oil answer.
"What about Immortal Mandrill?"
"The great sage who conquers demons has an outstanding demeanor and is no ordinary figure."
"What about me?" Jiang Bai licked his face and moved his face closer, letting Hu Tao look more carefully.
Suddenly being so close, Hu Tao's heartbeat slowed down a beat. She pushed his face back and did not answer the question.
