Chapter 469 Zhongli Accepts Apology
Zhongli and Lei Dianying just stared at each other awkwardly.
After an awkward silence for a while, Zhongli took the lead in probing:
"Um...long time no see?"
Lei Dianying nodded slightly:
"Yeah, it's been a long time indeed."
Then the two gods stopped talking and continued to be awkward.
After another short silence, Zhongli spoke first:
"You scared this little Inazuma girl to death."
A trace of apology appeared on Lei Dianying's face:
"I'm sorry. I was reckless."
Then the two of them still didn't speak, and remained awkward.
The atmosphere was so awkward, so awkward that Paimeng felt the air was heavy and he couldn't fly.
As for Gu Chen...
He sighed, picked up Zhu Zi, and handed him to a Qianyan soldier not far away, asking him to take care of him first.
Anyway, I just fainted temporarily and I believe I will wake up soon.
After the resettlement was completed, Gu Chen returned.
Seeing these two gods still remaining silent, Gu Chen couldn't help himself:
"That's enough, you two!
If I'm not mistaken, you haven't seen each other for five hundred years, right?
After five hundred years, we finally met again, but the two of you only managed to come up with four sentences. It's hilarious!"
Zhongli and Lei Dianying looked at Gu Chen somewhat innocently.
They are also very helpless.
Do you think they know each other?
know.
Is it cooked?
Not very familiar.
The last time we met was indeed five hundred years ago.
At that time, the great catastrophe happened in Kanreya. Except for the Great Compassionate Tree King, the other six gods all ran to Kanreya to deal with the trouble.
Oh, by the way, Zhongli was one of the six gods, but Ying was not one at that time. It was her sister Zhen who went to Kanriya.
As a result... her sister really died in Kanriya.
Zhongli felt very sorry about this matter.
In that war, Zhongli's shield did play a big role, protecting the other five gods and giving them enough room to play.
But... he is not good at fighting because he cannot withstand thunder and lightning.
What's more, the disaster was too tragic. In the end, Zhongli didn't have enough time to add shields to the other five gods.
In such a terrible situation, the one most likely to suffer is of course the weakest Lei Dian Zhen.
So when Lei Dianying hurriedly rushed to Kanruiya, all she hugged was the body of her sister Lei Dianzhen.
It was at that time that Zhongli and Lei Dianying had a brief meeting.
Because Lei Dianying was heartbroken, the two didn't talk much at the time. At most, Zhongli comforted Dianying with a few words, but Lei Dianying probably didn't take it to heart.
The situation was the same when they met five hundred years ago, and the situation is the same when they met five hundred years later. How can you not make them both feel embarrassed?
Fortunately, Gu Chen is the one who can liven up the atmosphere.
With his intervention, the atmosphere seemed less awkward.
Zhongli smiled helplessly, holding the birdcage, and looked at Lei Dianying with a clear mind:
"It's been a while since we last met, what should I call you?
Just call you...Baalzebul?"
Lei Dianying's expression also softened a lot:
"If you prefer, you can just call me Shadow.
Your current name is Zhongli, right?
Then I can just call you Mr. Zhongli, okay?"
Zhongli smiled:
"Of course, Miss Ying."
With this, the awkward atmosphere between the two finally dissipated completely. Zhongli's expression became a little more serious, and he asked Lei Dianying about his purpose of coming:
"I wonder why Miss Ying came to Liyue Harbor to see me personally?"
Speaking of this, Lei Dianying's expression became serious.
Regardless of the crowd around him and the surrounding environment, Lei Dianyi bowed 90 degrees.
"Mr. Zhongli, I'm here to express my apologies.
No matter what, it was all us Inazuma, the subjects under my command, who did something wrong.
As a god, I have an unshirkable responsibility.
Therefore, I come to apologize to you.
Mr. Zhongli, please accept my apology!"
Looking at Lei Dianying who was very dedicated in front of him, and considering that they, the Inazuma people, had always been like this, and considering that it was really not easy for Lei Dianying to swallow his pride and apologize in person, Zhongli's expression was not so serious.
Of course, being less serious doesn’t mean being unserious:
"That's it...
I have also heard many things about Inazuma.
I was indeed a little angry about the Inazuma Shogunate's ulterior motives towards us Liyue.
However, considering that you, Inazuma, paid a considerable price for this, and Gu Chen even went to cause trouble for you personally, this time we are even.
Miss Ying, I accept your apology. Please stand up."
Hearing that Zhongli was willing to accept her apology, Lei Dianying felt relieved and she slowly straightened up.
It’s no wonder that Lei’s movie is a bit timid.
After all, as I said before, many years ago, Lei Dianying had challenged Zhongli to a sparring match, and that time he was indeed traumatized by Zhongli.
Paimon, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but touch his chest and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhongli accept the apology.
She was really worried that Zhongli would not accept the apology.
Although Zhongli usually seems easy to talk to, Paimeng has heard from Gu Chen that when he was young, Zhongli had a very bad temper...
If Zhongli gets the temper he had when he was young and gives Lei Dianying a bad look, Paimon really doesn't know how to end it.
Fortunately, everything is fine and Zhongli can control himself.
restraint?
Haha, Paimon, you have to know why Zhongli was able to restrain himself and accept the apology.
The point is that, no matter what, from beginning to end, Liyue suffered no substantial damage.
On the contrary, it was their Inazuma who was really scolded by Gu Chen and suffered a great loss.
If Inazuma dared to actually harm Liyue, even if it was only a tiny bit...
Do you think Zhongli is still as easy to talk to as he is now?
Gu Chen understood this and therefore remained calm.
However, at this moment he was concerned about another point.
Seeing Lei Dianying stand up and seeing Zhongli accept Lei Dianying's apology, Gu Chen couldn't help but speak out:
"Wait, Zhongli, wait a moment.
Judging from your tone, you seem to be well aware of what's happened with Inazuma recently?"
Zhongli smiled slightly:
“I can’t say I know everything about it, but I’ve heard of it.”
Gu Chen's mouth twitched:
"Screw you, don't act like a fool in front of me!
Even if you don't know exactly what I did over there, you must know something about it.
I think I've seen through you. You're just like that Wendy guy. You both like to hide your tricks and show weakness.
Wait a minute!
If I remember correctly, Wendy seems to be able to detect the situation wherever there is wind.
You... can't you detect any place with rocks or ground to stand on? "
Zhongli crossed his arms and smiled calmly:
"How can it be?
I am just a guest official of the Wangsheng Hall, I don't have the power you say I have."
Gu Chen couldn't help it:
"I can go to you!"
