Chapter 95 Sister Tree King
"...Ding Di, this system doesn't know, please figure it out on your own."
The system was silent for a moment, refusing to give Liu Bai a prompt.
"Damn it, dog system, if you had sent the mission earlier, I would have kept the disposable amplifier..."
Unable to think of what birthday gift Nashida would like for a while, Liu Bai could only curse the system in annoyance.
The items he had in his hand were more or less unsuitable to give to Nashida: a strange pink remote control, a one-time sex amplifier, an unsafe coin of fate, a pet master ball, and a cup of sleepy black tea that he had taken a sip of.
"Well, the girl likes books, maybe we can start from that aspect..."
"But she has already read the blue book..."
Whether it was for the mission reward or to celebrate Nashida's birthday, Liu Bai began to seriously think about what gift he should prepare and how to get it.
While Liu Bai was thinking hard, Nashida had already run back to the Palace of Wisdom with a red face. She wiped her hands before entering the office and calmed herself down by taking deep breaths to avoid being noticed by the Great Compassionate Tree King.
Then she walked up the elevator and came to Cao Shen's office.
"Flower God's Birthday Festival? That should be very lively, right?"
After learning the reason why the Great Compassion Tree King called her over, Nashida became a little excited.
Due to the influence of the Congregational Decrees, the influence of the Flora Festival has gradually weakened. In recent years, only the Grand Bazaar has held the Flora Festival as usual.
"Of course it will be lively. You will be the birthday boy that everyone is paying attention to. You must remember to thank the people of Xumi for their enthusiasm."
The Great Compassionate Tree King nodded and reminded Nashida with a chuckle.
"Yeah, I definitely will, I follow them every year."
Nashida responded seriously.
At this moment, the elevator started moving again, and the acting sage named Elhaisen came to the office of Grass God.
"Lord Tree King, Lord Grass King, excuse me for disturbing you. This is a letter of congratulations from Liyue and Fontaine, who are closer to Xumi these days."
Elhaisen said as he placed the folded envelopes in his hands on the table.
The coming to power of King Little Auspicious Grass and the return of King Great Compassionate Tree, such major events naturally attracted the attention of neighboring countries. However, Xumi's diplomacy with various countries was relatively friendly, so neighboring countries all sent letters of congratulations.
"In addition, I just received a report from the Grand Disciplinary Officer that there are two Liyue people outside the gate of the Order Hall who want to see Lord Cao Wang."
After putting the things down, Elhaisen reported the situation outside.
As the only person who can freely enter and exit Cao Shen's office in the name of work, he was forced to take on the task of reporting news to Cao Shen.
Although the void was restarted, some not particularly important news would eventually be reported to him.
“Liyue people, could they be from the Wangsheng Hall… Let them in quickly.”
After hearing what Elhaisen said, Nashida immediately thought of who it was.
"Yes."
El Haisen responded.
Afterwards, after receiving instructions from their superiors, the mercenaries at the gate of the Academy let Hu Tao and Zhongli enter the Academy.
They had been stopped outside the Church of the Holy Orders once before. If it weren't for Senor's help in reporting this time, it would have been very difficult for them to enter the Church of the Holy Orders.
Just as Hu Tao and Zhong Li entered the Church Order Institute, the scholars in the Wisdom Palace also discovered that the Great Kindness Tree King and the Little Auspicious Grass King came down from the office and stood in front of the elevator, seemingly waiting for someone...
Who can make two gods wait together? !
This shocked the scholars in the Palace of Wisdom, and they all followed the gaze of the Great Compassionate Tree King and looked towards the entrance of the Palace of Wisdom.
Led by the thirty-man mercenary group, Hu Tao and Zhongli arrived at the door of the Palace of Wisdom and pushed it open.
"...Hmm? Mr. Zhongli, do you think we have taken the wrong path? Why are all the people looking at us?"
Hu Tao came closer to Zhongli and asked in a low voice with some confusion.
"That should be right. Look at the two people in front of you."
Zhongli reminded quietly.
Upon hearing this, Hu Tao looked ahead carefully.
The Palace of Wisdom was very large, so she didn't notice it at first glance when she first came in. Now that she looked carefully, she could see clearly the white-haired mother and daughter holding hands.
The older one looked very different in temperament, perhaps he was a scholar of high status in the House of the Lords, and the younger one was...
"Hey~ Long time no see, little sister! Did you miss me~!"
Recognizing Nashida, who was being held by the hand by the Great Mercy Tree King, Walnut quickly waved towards her and walked over.
Before in the cafe, Seno only said that the person Hu Tao was looking for was in the Church Order Institute, and did not clearly state her identity. He took them to the door of the Church Order Institute, helped to report, and then went on to do his own thing.
"Little sister...?!"
When several scholars heard Walnut address Nashida, the books in their hands dropped to the ground with a clatter.
What made them stare even wider was that Nashida actually raised one hand and waved it gently, obviously in response to Kurumi.
"..."
Zhongli followed Hu Tao with a headache and grabbed one of her hands to stop her.
"I'm very sorry, our hall master is a little ignorant. This must be the legendary Great Kind Tree King. I have heard of your great name for a long time. It is an honor to meet you today."
Holding Hu Tao who wanted to run to Nashida, Zhongli spoke to the Great Mercy Tree King apologetically.
"Eh? Tree King? Are you the God of Grass?"
After hearing Zhongli's words, Hu Tao finally reacted.
Although she could see that the woman next to Nashida had an extraordinary temperament, she only thought that she was a scholar of a relatively high status in the Academy of Ordinances, similar to the Seven Stars of Liyue. At most, she was a little exaggeratedly beautiful, but she did not think of her as a god.
After all, according to her thinking as a Liyue person, gods should not be so easy to see.
"Well, welcome to the House of the Lords. Please follow me and we will talk upstairs."
The Great Compassionate Tree King responded with a smile, then pointed to the elevator at the rear and explained.
Hu Tao was brought onto the elevator by Zhongli. She couldn't help but glance at the Great Tree King and Nashida beside her.
"Hello, Walnut~"
Nashida noticed her gaze and raised her other hand to wave gently to greet her again.
"..."
Looking at Nashida holding the hand of the Great Compassion Tree King, Hu Tao really wanted to ask her what her identity was.
But she couldn't open her mouth in front of the gods, so she had to turn around and look at Zhongli for help with her eyes.
Seeing this scene, Zhongli couldn't help but chuckle and shook his head.
When she was in Liyue, she grew up listening to the stories about the God of Rock. She would not be too restrained even in front of the God of Rock. But when she went to a foreign country, she would be a little worried about saying the wrong thing to a strange god. This was the first time she had seen such a reaction.
"Please take a seat, both of you. I have already heard from Little Auspicious Grass King about your purpose of coming. Unfortunately, the person who needs the services of the Hall of the Dead has not yet passed away. You may need to wait for some time, probably until the Flower God's Birthday Ceremony is over."
The Great Compassionate Tree King personally poured tea for the two and explained.
Except when they were resting privately, she and Nashida addressed each other by the formal titles of Tree King and Grass King.
"Oh...what a fragrant tea! Sister Tree King is indeed the God of Grass!"
Hu Tao doesn't usually know much about tea tasting, but after smelling it, he couldn't help but praise it.
After seeing the gentle and kind look of the Great Compassionate Tree King, her reservedness disappeared after a moment, and she instead addressed him in a familiar manner.
"Hmm...tasting this tea is like appreciating a landscape painting. The fragrance is refreshing and refreshing. It is like being in the mountains and rivers. It is endless and can be called the best tea."
Even Zhongli couldn't help but give it a high evaluation.
Listening to Zhongli's comments, the Great Compassion Tree King couldn't help but feel a little amused.
The only tea drink that Xumi people are more familiar with is milk tea, and the current tea cultivation and tea brewing techniques were learned from Liyue during the gathering.
"Yeah, the guest official's comments are exactly what I want to say. As for business matters, there is no rush. It's a rare opportunity to go abroad, so it's good to stay a few more days."
