Chapter 404 Wine Tasting

However, Yuan Zhuoyue chose to refuse to answer this question, and felt that the god in front of him who had come from afar had come here purely with the intention of watching the fun and getting involved.

In the past, when she was chatting with the immortals and encountered someone who seemed to be deliberately exploring her past and she did not want to respond, she would always choose to remain silent or intentionally divert the topic elsewhere.

The immortal who seemed to be chatting with her, after realizing her intention, would not spend too much time on the issues she did not want to mention.

They are usually very cooperative, changing the topic and continuing the conversation following Yuan Zhuoyue's guidance.

Even the immortals will fill in the blanks on their own based on the known information and perfect the logical consistency.

While both parties tacitly maintained this sense of distance, Yuan Zhuoyue and the immortals of Liyue actually got along quite well.

While Yuan Zhuoyue chose to respond in silence, the one who showed up to rescue her was the Ruota Dragon King, who had never gotten along well with her.

He frowned and said in a displeased manner: "Don't you already know the truth now? Why did you run up to him and say these nonsense words?"

After hearing these words, Wendy still had that playful look on her face and didn't take the groundless accusation to heart.

His subsequent gaze wandered over Ruotu Dragon King and Guizhong for a moment, and finally landed on Yuan Zhuoyue, with a smile on his face that deepened a bit: "...Alas, I knew that such a big thing had happened, so I was full of curiosity and came to take a look. But the way you two get along is much better than I expected..."

Then he looked at the Ruotu Dragon King and said, "I thought that with your personality, you would fight him directly after something like this happened! It seems that you should have anticipated the current situation, so you can live in peace like this?"

The bard stroked his chin again, pretending to think: "Did the old man tell you that this would happen? You were mentally prepared, so you can get along so well now?"

Gui Zhong also smiled and replied: "When he left, he explained this to us so that we can rest assured... It won't take too long, they will eventually get back on track, so you don't have to worry too much about it."

The bard puffed up his cheeks and showed an angry look: "I just heard that the old man had an 'accident', so I wanted to take advantage of this wine tasting to take a look at what's going on with the old man. Why are you all so defensive, it makes me seem like I'm here to cause trouble."

Facing this pretentious figure in front of him, the Ryota Dragon King replied coldly: "Now that you have seen it, how do you feel?"

Wendy was still smiling, but her words seemed to contain a deeper meaning: "He is a very interesting person."

As the center of the topic, Yuan Zhuoyue always had a polite smile on his face.

Especially at this time, he was sandwiched between Guizhong and Ruota Dragon King, on the left and right.

Yuan Zhuoyue felt that it was really like the time when she went out with her parents in the past and met old acquaintances of her parents who knew her but she was a complete stranger to them.

The elders were chatting happily, leaving her, the confused junior, with only an awkward yet polite smile.

However, the situation now is a little different. Around her are not three elders, but three ancestors.

After a long chat, these three old friends enthusiastically led the group to the venue where the wine tasting party was to be held.

Gui Zhong looked at the endless stream of people and couldn't help but show a look of surprise: "I remember that this event will not officially start until a few days later?"

"You don't know this, do you? Although this event is a grand event for tasting fine wines, making comments, and selecting the best wines, it is actually held to expand sales channels." Wendy lowered her voice and pretended to be mysterious when she heard this: "Of course, one of the purposes is to use this event to make the fine wines we brew famous, so I came here specially to see what kind of fine wines are gathered here!"

The Ryota Dragon King, who was quite familiar with the temperament of the wind god, said, "Then your purpose of coming here should not be limited to this, right?"

Wendy chuckled twice. "Actually, I wanted to take this opportunity to try some free good wine. After all, although I am the most popular bard in Mondstadt, I am still quite tight on money. As for why I had to drag you guys over here, of course it was because I wanted to get more wine!"

These words were said with full confidence and justification.

Soon, the wandering poet who came for the purpose of drinking free wine wandered in front of a booth, said something to the staff there, and soon squeezed out from the crowd with a small porcelain bottle the size of a palm.

He held the porcelain bottle in his hand and shook it slightly a few times. The liquid in it made a slightly dull sound as it swayed in the container.

Wendy looked a little excited: "I didn't expect that with my status as a judge, I could get a small bottle of wine so easily... This is honey wine brewed by a tavern in Liyue. The person who introduced it said that when brewing it, sweet flowers were added to it. This is their newly researched exclusive secret recipe!"

Finally he asked, "Would you like to try it too?"

Although he spoke of his generosity, his expression and behavior seemed to indicate that you should refuse.

The Dragon King Ruo Tuo said without hesitation: "Since you have invited us so kindly, why not give us all a cup to taste the honey wine?"

Gui Zhong also smiled and said, "I don't think I've ever seen a restaurant with such ingenuity, so novel and interesting. I would like to try it."

After seeing the attitudes of the two speakers, Yuan Zhuoyue also said, "Why don't you give me a cup so that I can drink with them."

So Wendy, with her lively expression, demonstrated to them the smooth transition from excitement to depression.

Although he seemed reluctant, he still found a small wine cup from somewhere and gave a little to each of his colleagues present.

Yuan Zhuoyue only took a quick sip. To be honest, the taste of this slightly sweet wine was not that amazing to her.

It's a bit like a drink with added alcohol. If she drinks it in the summer and chills it, it might be a lot better for her.

Wendy, who was holding a small wine bottle in one hand and had already started drinking from the bottle, slipped to Yuan Zhuoyue's side at some point.

Staring at the seemingly unchanged drink in her glass, he pondered, "You don't like drinking?"

After talking to himself for a while, he stood on tiptoe and patted Yuan Zhuoyue on the shoulder without waiting for Yuan Zhuoyue to reply. "There is an old saying in Liyue that a drink can relieve a thousand worries. You look so sad, maybe you should drink a little more to relieve your worries."

Yuan Zhuoyue brushed away the hand on his shoulder and lowered his eyes to meet those clear eyes.

He replied calmly, "Have you ever heard the saying, 'Drinking to forget your sorrows only makes you more sorrowful?'"
