Chapter 139 Xianyun
"He'll be there soon. Hey, he's already here."
Everyone turned around and saw that the person coming was Zhongli.
Zhongli and Liuyun looked at each other and lowered their heads.
The merchant walked up to Zhongli and introduced him, "This is Mr. Zhongli, a guest official of the Wangsheng Hall and an expert in treasure appraisal."
Seeing Zhongli and Liuyun silent, Xinyang took the initiative to break the deadlock.
"Mr. Zhongli, we just met yesterday. I didn't expect to see you again so soon."
The merchant was stunned when he heard this. “You all know each other.”
Xin Yang nodded and said, "Yes, my master often discusses mechanical devices and magical weapons with Mr. Zhongli."
Zhongli nodded and said, "That's right, young lady. She is a famous treasure appraiser in the industry. You are really lucky to be able to buy her products."
Liu Yun smiled and said, "Mr. Zhongli, you are overpraising me. There are so many people in the world who appreciate and appraise antiques. What is tested is nothing more than experience and vision. If you are second, who dares to claim to be first?"
After a round of business exaggeration, all the remaining magic weapons were successfully sold to merchants.
It was already afternoon when Moraliuyun got all the money to buy the small building. They were about to go to eat when Ganyu came over.
"Master Liuyun, it really is you."
Liuyun looked at Ganyu in surprise and asked, "How did you know that I came to Liyue Harbor?" Then he turned his gaze to Xinyang and Linghua.
Seeing this, Xinyang and Linghua quickly shook their heads. Ganyu explained, "A large number of magical devices suddenly appeared in Liyue Harbor. I immediately recognized that it was the work of the True Lord, and then I found this place. The True Lord is planning to stay in Liyue Harbor."
Seeing that Ganyu had guessed his thoughts, Liuyun stopped trying to hide his feelings. "Indeed! I've been staying on Mount Aozang for too long and have been feeling rather bored. That's why I decided to come to the bustling Liyue Harbor to experience a different kind of life."
After hearing this, Gan Yu still had a hint of doubt in her eyes. She stared at Liu Yun and asked softly, "Is that really the case?"
Just then, a low and loud "gurgling" sound suddenly came. It was Xinyang's stomach protesting.
Seeing this, Gan Yu naturally didn't pursue the matter any further. Smiling, she said to Xin Yang, "Junior brother, you must be starving, right? I'm planning to visit Junior Sister Shen He, so how about we go to Wanmin Hall and enjoy a nice meal together?"
When Liu Yun heard that she had a chance to meet Shen He, her eyes flashed with light, but she shook her head in the blink of an eye and politely declined, "Gan Yu, you should be busy with work right now. How can you waste your time waiting for me?"
Gan Yu quickly waved her hand and explained, "Master, you don't know this. Ningguang forcefully granted me two days of leave. Speaking of which, I had originally planned to return to Aozang Mountain with Junior Sister Shenhe to visit you, Master!"
Liu Yun couldn't stop smiling when he heard this. "Ningguang, I was right about him. That's great. Let's go see Shen He together."
Everyone came to Wanmin Hall. Since it was afternoon, there was only one table of guests drinking in Wanmin Hall.
Seeing Ganyu's arrival, Master Mao specially arranged a private room and asked Shen He to stop his work and chat with Liu Yun and others.
After a round of pleasantries, Ganyu suggested, "If you, Master, wish to reside permanently in Liyue Harbor, should you choose a new, more human name?"
"A person's name? Well, I'm well-known, and even if I call myself 'Liuyun', I'll be easily recognized. In my opinion, it's better to call myself 'Xianyun'?" Liuyun thought, touching his chin.
"'There are immortals who rise in harmony with the clouds and rainbows, and live with the sun and the moon. They are wise and sensible, and free from restraints. Therefore, they are called 'Zhi Xian'. This is taken from the description in Qing Zhai Guang Lu, right?" Gan Yu asked.
"That's right. What do you think of this name?" Liu Yun nodded and looked at everyone.
"What a nice name. I have the impression that Master has never talked about his own achievements. The only records about Master can be found in those classics." Shen He also nodded.
Everyone agreed immediately, "Okay, from now on you can call Master Xianyun in front of others."
Just as they were chatting and laughing, a sudden commotion erupted from outside the private room. Everyone stood up and hurried to the door to see what was going on.
When they walked into the store, the scene before them was jaw-dropping: countless broken wine bottles were scattered on the ground, and glass fragments were flying everywhere. The table of guests who had been drinking and having fun here before were now arguing fiercely with Master Mao.
Faced with these aggressive uninvited guests, Master Mao tried to remain calm and reasoned with them: "Everyone, our prices are always transparent and fair. We are not asking for exorbitant prices. If you truly feel the prices are too high, I am willing to give you a discount, but I hope you will be merciful and not damage anything else."
However, the guests at that table were not moved at all. Instead, they shouted even more fiercely: "You old fellow, you say one thing in public and another behind your back. Do you think we are fools? How much can just a few of us eat? Forget about discounts. Hurry up and call your precious daughter and that fair-skinned and pretty waiter to come and serve us brothers. Then we can put an end to today's matter." Before he finished speaking, those people burst into shrill laughter, and the laughter sounded like the cry of a night owl, which made people's hair stand on end.
