Well……
Jiang Mu was stunned. How should he answer this question?
Option 1: Morax deserved to die! He was right to die!
Option Two: Morax shouldn't have died this time. He should have lived. What was the point of him dying?
None of the answers seem right...
Seeing Zhongli's face gradually darken, Jiang Mu hurriedly replied.
“Actually, Zhongli, it’s no use discussing these things now, right? After all, Morax is already dead. Even if Morax shouldn’t be dead, he can’t rise from his coffin now, right?”
"That's absolutely right..."
Upon hearing this, Zhongli's emotions calmed down, and she looked at Jiang Mu and nodded.
Soon, the three of them returned to Jiang's Farm in the wind slime balloon that Jiang's Farm rented out.
He instructed Mo Jiangshan to take Zhongli to collect the necessary Rainbow Flowers, while Jiang Mu and Ying stayed in Jiang Mu's house, waiting for Zhongli.
"What's wrong, Ying?"
Seeing that Ying seemed hesitant to speak, Jiang Mu asked in confusion.
"Just say what's on your mind, there's no need to beat around the bush."
"All right."
Ying nodded, calming herself down.
"Jiang Mu, why do you think Zhong Li reacted so strongly to Morax's death?"
Looking at Jiang Mu, Ying asked with some confusion.
"Don't let Zhongli's young appearance fool you; he's actually quite old."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mu explained with a smile.
"As a member of the older generation of Liyue people, and with Mr. Zhongli being so learned, it's natural that he has an inseparable affection for Liyue and Morax."
"So that's why he lost control of his emotions when you said those things, right?"
Ying murmured thoughtfully, seemingly accepting the explanation.
"call……"
Jiang Mu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, while inwardly cursing Zhong Li.
"You rascal, I went through so much trouble to smooth things over for you, now you owe me a huge favor."
………………
Soon, Mo Jiangshan returned with Zhong Li.
"Did you get it?"
Ying asked somewhat anxiously, then, as if she had thought of something, looked at Jiang Mu and waved her hands repeatedly.
"Um... I didn't doubt you... this... I just..."
"Alright, alright..."
Jiang Mu found it amusing and waved his hand.
"I'm not that petty, Zhongli. Have you gathered all the kinds you need?"
"Hmm." Zhongli nodded slightly, looking at Ying, and said.
"Jiangmu has a wide variety of Rainbow Flowers here. The three types of Rainbow Flowers we need, namely 'Golden House Hides Beauty,' 'Mountain Shade Brocade Cluster,' and 'Ethereal Fairy Fate,' have all been prepared, and they are of excellent quality."
"Really?"
Upon hearing this, Paimon said with some surprise.
"That's right. Depending on their ancestral lineage and growing environment, the Rainbow Flower will exhibit different traits."
Could you explain in more detail?
Ying looked at Zhongli with some anticipation.
“You can talk about it,” Jiang Mu suddenly interjected.
“However, let’s not linger here any longer. Now that we’re on my turf, let’s have some tea before we leave. Zhongli, come in and let’s talk.”
"good."
Upon hearing this, Zhongli nodded with delight. The fine tea here in Jiangmu was always a rare find, and now that he had finally seized this opportunity, he, a tea lover, was determined to savor it properly…
………………
"Sakura!"
Upon entering the living room, Jiang Mu called out directly upstairs.
"Oh? You're back? Are there any other guests?"
Sakura came downstairs, looked at everyone, and said with a smile.
"Hmm." Jiang Mu nodded slightly and said.
"Go brew some good tea. Today, Mr. Zhongli will be sharing some knowledge with us."
"OK."
Sakura nodded, looking at Zhongli, who paused slightly upon seeing her, then lowered his head, seemingly recalling something...
Sakura, however, did not react at all; she simply took the tea set and went to make tea.
"Ginger wood..."
Suddenly, Zhongli looked at Jiang Mu and said.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Zhongli's thoughtful expression, Jiang Mu was somewhat puzzled.
"nothing."
Zhongli shook his head and said something cryptic.
"Hehe, it seems you're quite lucky..."
………………
Soon, Sakura brought the tea over.
"Sit down and listen together."
Jiang Mu patted the spot next to him.
"Okay, fine."
As she spoke, Xiaoying revealed a smile that Jiang Mu couldn't quite decipher. Then, she came to Jiang Mu's side and plopped down in his lap!
No, because Sakura's legs are too short, she only managed to sit on Jiang Mu's lap. Even so, her two short legs were still dangling in the air...
"..."
Zhongli's eyelids twitched, but she still didn't say anything.
"Keep going, why are you all staring at me?"
Sakura shook her head, looked at everyone, and asked in confusion.
"good."
Zhongli simply nodded, took out three Rainbow Flowers, and spoke.
"This type, with its lush foliage, flowers that seem to be hidden away like a precious gem, and evergreen leaves, often grows in areas with complex hydrological conditions; its shape..."
"In shady or damp places, the Rainbow Flower often grows with large petals and dense stamens, emitting a fragrant aroma, truly a riot of color, which is..."
"As for the last type, it is solitary, proud, pure, and cold. Its branches, leaves, and flowers are arranged very sparsely. When it blooms, its fragrance is faint but extremely long-lasting. It was discovered by chance by ancient people when they climbed mountains to visit immortals..."
Finally, Zhongli sighed softly, saying with some regret.
"Unfortunately, most wild Neon Flowers have disappeared due to geographical changes in Liyue, and now they are mostly cultivated artificially..."
"So that's how it is..."
Sakura nodded, saying with some regret.
"So Zhongli is so knowledgeable..."
Paimon was also somewhat surprised.
"You only have a superficial understanding; those of you who are destined to travel the entire continent of Teyvat are truly not to be underestimated..."
"By the way, Zhongli, if you had bought the Rainbow Flower at that shop, which one would you have bought?"
Paimon asked, puzzled.
"Heh, that's easy."
Zhongli smiled slightly.
"I'll take them all."
"Again?"
Paimon leans back again in a tactical move.
"hehe……"
Zhongli smiled and said in a serious tone.
"When watching a play, you must choose the most famous actress; when walking your bird, you must buy the most expensive thrush—that is life."
"Oh……"
Jiang Mu rolled his eyes inwardly and muttered to himself.
"Yes, you really lived a good life. Even in death, you made sure you had everything you needed..."
