Chapter 245: There is a second floor in Heyu Teahouse
By the time Ningguang finished explaining the whole story, they had already arrived at the Heyu Teahouse.
After entering the teahouse, Gu Chen discovered that there were already quite a few spectators gathered inside.
The tea table was bustling with people, and it looked very lively.
This is not surprising.
After all, Yunjin is an outstanding and famous character in Liyue.
Tickets for plays in which she appears are almost always hard to come by.
What's more, this time Yunhan Society released the news in advance, saying that the play has been re-edited and is more exciting than before.
With this gimmick, how could Liyue's fans not pay attention? How could they not support it?
After entering the opera hall of Heyu Teahouse, Gu Chen looked around for a while.
He tried to find Zhongli in these teahouses.
Unexpectedly, Ningguang walked towards the stairs next to her and motioned Gu Chen and the others to come up.
Seeing the stairs over there, Gu Chen looked up with sudden realization.
It turns out that the performance hall in this teahouse has a two-story ceiling.
Opposite to it, there are private seats on the second floor with excellent views.
Watching the show from up there is not only relatively quiet, but also a better viewing experience.
It’s strange. Why didn’t he notice that there was a second floor when he came to Heyu Teahouse last time?
With such doubts, under the leadership of Ningguang, Gu Chen, Paimon and Funina went up to the private seating area on the second floor.
The moment he went up to the second floor, Gu Chen discovered that the second floor had been booked out.
Not only was the entire place booked out, but the people sitting in these private seats were all acquaintances.
Needless to say, Zhongli was sitting in the elegant tea seat in the middle, drinking tea by himself.
Next to Zhongli was Hu Tao, but the way the Great Master Hu was sitting...
He sat backwards on the chair, hugging the back of the chair with his whole body, his posture was both carefree and unconcerned.
In addition to these two, there were two people that Gu Chen did not expect.
The two of them sat at the same table with Zhongli, but sat on his side.
When he saw these two, Gu Chen was surprised:
“Wow, I’m not particularly surprised that Zhongli Hutao is here, after all, I’ve already heard about it from Ningguang.
However, I never expected that Xianyun and Shenhe, the two of you, the master and disciple, would be here as well."
That’s right, the other two people sitting here are Xianyun and Shenhe!
When the master and disciple saw Gu Chen coming, they hadn't said anything yet, but Hu Tao greeted him lively:
"Hey! Gu Chen, Ningguang really invited you over!
From what you just said, you also know Ms. Xianyun and Ms. Shenhe?"
Gu Chen smiled brightly:
“Of course I do.
Xianyun is my friend, Shenhe is mine..."
Before Gu Chen could finish, Shen He stood up first:
"Gu Chen is my savior."
A simple sentence made everyone present pay attention.
The clever Hu Tao was very surprised when she heard this. She winked at Gu Chen:
"Oh yeah? Oh yeah? I seem to have heard something interesting from the past!
Gu Chen, Shen He calls you his savior, so this is your relationship!"
Looking at Shen He, who was serious and had a cold temperament, but whose eyes were slightly excited and his mood was slightly aggrieved, Gu Chen couldn't help but smile.
She ignored Hu Tao's provocation and greeted Shen He sincerely:
"Shen He, long time no see."
Shen He also looked at Gu Chen very seriously, his tone was very serious:
"Well, it's been a long time since we last met at Aozang Mountain."
Walnut, who was standing next to him, heard something concerning:
"Ouzang Mountain?
I remember that's where the immortals are, right?"
Hearing Hu Tao's words, Xian Yun couldn't help but cough.
It should be noted that the identities of the master and disciple must be kept confidential to a certain extent.
Now that Shen He was in danger of being exposed, Xianyun could no longer remain calm.
After coughing for a while, Xianyun quickly tried to make amends for his apprentice:
"Ahem... that's exactly what happened.
When was the last time Gu Chen and Shen He met?
It seems that our master and disciple went to Aozang Mountain together to look for immortals, but Shen He unfortunately died and was rescued by Gu Chen.
Yes, that’s exactly what happened!”
After hearing Xianyun's addition, Hu Tao didn't know whether to believe it or not.
At least on the surface, she believed it:
"Oh, so that's what happened."
Gu Chen ignored Hu Tao's jokes. He still looked at Shen He and cared about her:
"It's been such a long time since we last met. Have you been practicing with your master?"
Shen He nodded slowly:
“Yes, it has always been like this.
It’s just that some time ago, my master felt that I couldn’t always stay in the mountains, and he encouraged me to come to Liyue Harbor and interact with more people.
Feeling helpless, I came to Liyue Harbor with my master.
Liyue Harbor is indeed a bit noisy. I was not used to it at first, but I gradually got used to it.
After arriving at Liyue Harbor, my master took me to visit Mr. Zhongli.
It is said that Mr. Zhongli is an old friend of Master."
While saying this, Shen He couldn't help but look at Zhongli who had been silent.
Zhongli was drinking tea at this time.
He noticed that everyone's eyes seemed to be focused on him, so he nodded while holding his teacup:
"Yes, Xianyun and I are old acquaintances."
Next, this guy slowly turned his head and looked sideways at Gu Chen:
"Gu Chen, you are finally here.
Inviting you to watch a play requires such a large mobilization, and even requires Tianquanxing to personally invite you. You really must be of a different status."
Gu Chen was so upset after hearing this.
Why do I feel like there's something sarcastic in Zhongli's tone?
Is it an illusion?
No, it's definitely not an illusion.
Before Gu Chen could say anything, Zhongli first turned his gaze to Funina next to him, his eyes showing some concern:
"Who is this……"
Facing everyone present, Gu Chen quickly introduced:
“This is Fufu, a friend of mine from Fontaine.
When Ningguang came to see me today, I was accompanying Fufu to visit Liyue Harbor.
I thought that Liyue Opera is also a part of Liyue culture, and since Fufu is also very interested in this kind of culture, I brought her over to watch the opera together."
Looking at so many of Gu Chen's friends present, Funina felt a little nervous. She stepped forward and quickly greeted them:
"Hello everyone, I'm Fu Fu, Gu Chen's friend.
Um... I'm sorry to bother you by coming here!"
Looking at the somewhat timid Fu Nina, Xianyun's maternal instinct could not help but emerge, and she smiled gently:
"Oh, is it a friend from Fontaine? What a cute kid.
Since he is Gu Chen’s friend, he is also our friend. Why should we disturb him?
Okay, okay, don't be nervous, take a seat quickly, let's drink tea and watch the show together."
Just like that, Funina felt much more relaxed.
After receiving the invitation, Gu Chen and the others took their seats.
Everyone sat in about half a circle around the table, facing the stage.
After everyone was seated, Paimon looked around absent-mindedly, as if he was looking for something.
