After Xiao left, Ningguang also looked thoughtfully at Qiu Bai and Zhongli standing before her.
Klee still had a grieved, tearful expression as she looked at Qiu Bai in front of her.
"Don't cry, Klee."
"You didn't do anything wrong."
Qiu Bai crouched down slightly, patting Klee head to comfort her.
"Now you all know who these two are, right?"
"They are the actors playing the Immortal Lord and Rex Lapis - Mr. Qiu Bai and Mr. Zhongli."
Ningguang looked at the many Millelith soldiers around them and spoke slowly to remind them.
"...We apologize, Mr. Qiu Bai and Mr. Zhongli."
"You really look too much like them, we mistook you as well."
The Millelith captain walked up to the two men and spoke apologetically.
Then he led the surrounding Millelith soldiers back to their respective posts.
"Thank you, Miss Ningguang."
"Otherwise, this matter would have really escalated."
Qiu Bai stood up, looking at Ningguang in front of him with a light smile.
"Uh... cough cough."
"Mr. Qiu Bai is too kind. I just didn't expect that you two gentlemen would resemble them so much."
Ningguang looked at Qiu Bai in front of her, coughed lightly then smiled.
"Being able to resemble the Immortal Lord and Rex Lapis is our honor."
"I'm sure this performance will be done to the best of our abilities."
Qiu Bai and Zhongli exchanged glances, then looked at Ningguang and spoke.
"That's natural, Mr. Qiu Bai and Mr. Zhongli."
"Ningguang very much looks forward to your upcoming performance."
Ningguang looked at Qiu Bai and Zhongli in front of her and smiled.
Then she sat back down in her previous seat.
"Big Brother Qiu Bai is so cool!"
"Worthy of being the Immortal Lord who could defeat that big fish!"
Klee looked up at Qiu Bai in front of her and said happily.
"Mm..."
"Klee, be good and go watch the big brothers performance with Sister Barbara over there."
Qiu Bai patted Klee head and said gently.
"Eh... Mr. Qiu Bai, you know me?"
Barbara looked at Qiu Bai in front of her with a puzzled expression.
"The shining idol of Mondstadt City, Miss Barbara."
"Also the Deaconess of the Church of Favonius and you're very cute too - of course I know you."
Qiu Bai looked at the pure and lovely Barbara in front of him and said with a smile.
"I'm... I'm not that cute..."
Barbara, complimented by Qiu Bai in his divine attire, blushed and put her hands behind her back saying embarrassedly.
Then, with a red face she took Klee hand and walked toward Lumine and Paimon.
"Hmph..."
Xianyun standing on the roof saw this scene and snorted lightly.
"Long time no see, Brother Qiu Bai."
"Hahahahahaha!"
Arataki Itto looked at Qiu Bai in front of him and laughed loudly.
"Long time no see, Brother Itto."
"How is Granny doing now?"
Qiu Bai looked at Arataki Itto in front of him and asked.
"She's doing great."
"Those five million Mora can let Granny live comfortably for a long time."
Arataki Itto scratched the back of his head and waved his hand.
"Boss, let's go watch over there."
"Mr. Qiu Bai and Mr. Zhongli still need to perform."
Kuki Shinobu looked at Arataki Itto beside her and reminded him.
"Alright."
"Then we'll chat more after the performance ends, Brother Qiu Bai."
After Arataki Itto finished speaking, he and Kuki Shinobu also walked toward the surrounding crowd of onlookers.
"That, that..."
Keqing walked toward Qiu Bai and Zhongli with a slightly red face.
She lowered her head slightly, as if wanting to say something difficult to speak about.
"What's wrong, Yuheng of the Qixing?"
"Long time no see, is there something you need?"
Qiu Bai looked at the somewhat restrained Keqing in front of him and asked with some confusion.
"Could... could Mr. Qiu Bai and Mr. Zhongli please take a photo with me?"
"Cough cough... I'm just commemorating history, it's not that I really want to take photos..."
Keqing raised her head, looking at the divinely-attired Qiu Bai and Zhongli in front of her.
The more she spoke, the redder her face became and by the end her speech became stuttered.
"A request from the Yuheng of the Qixing."
"How could we two humble guest consultant refuse?"
Qiu Bai looked at the restrained Keqing in front of him, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes before he spoke.
"That's right, Lady Yuheng."
"This Director agrees for them!"
Hu Tao looked at Keqing in front of her and patted her chest confidently.
"Thank... thank you."
Keqing blushed and walked to Qiu Bai and Zhongli side.
Her eyes kept glancing at Qiu Bai face and the clothes he wore.
Then she would look at Zhongli face and his attire.
"Are you ready?"
Keqing raised her head, took a deep breath and asked.
"Ready anytime."
Zhongli crossed his arms over his chest and nodded.
"Mm."
Keqing held the Kamera with one hand, trying her best to stand on her tiptoes.
Qiu Bai and Zhongli also leaned in closer.
Qiu Bai had a gentle smile at the corner of his mouth, while Zhongli maintained his eternally unchanging expression.
Keqing also showed a smile.
Then with a click, a photo was taken.
"Thank you both, gentlemen!"
After Keqing finished speaking, she hugged the Kamera in her hands and quickly walked away from the scene as if fleeing.
"Huff, huff..."
"Even though it's fake, Mr. Qiu Bai and Mr. Zhongli really look too much like them."
Keqing looked at the photo in her hands, breathing heavily, and murmured happily.
On the other side.
Qiu Bai watched Keqing quickly departing figure and smiled.
Then he followed Hu Tao, walking slowly toward the stage under everyone watchful eyes.
Yun Jin, Xinyan, Lumine and Paimon, as well as Kaedehara Kazuha and the group of people were all looking at the approaching Qiu Bai and Zhongli with delighted expressions.
Even the storyteller Tian Tiezui was startled when he saw who was coming.
"This is simply, this is simply... just like the Immortal Lord and Rex Lapis in my mind!"
"Simply... simply identical!"
Tian Tiezui looked at the approaching Qiu Bai and Zhongli and said in shock.
"Thank you traveler, for finding such actors."
"They're very... no... one hundred percent alike!"
Tian Tiezui looked at Lumine in front of him and bowed with clasped hands.
"Hehe, no need to thank the traveler."
"It was Director Hu idea."
Paimon looked at Tian Tiezui in front of her and said with a smile.
"Director Hu, is that Hu Tao, the current Director of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor?"
"No wonder you asked me to tell stories, this is truly remarkable."
Tian Tiezui looked toward Hu Tao in front of Qiu Bai and Zhongli and murmured in surprise.
"Hehe, this Director is here."
"How about it, are you ready Tian Tiezui?"
Hu Tao looked at Tian Tiezui in front of her and asked with a smile.
"So... so alike... Mr. Qiu Bai and Mr. Zhongli."
"Ready, ready."
Tian Tiezui looked at Qiu Bai and Zhongli in front of him, was stunned for a moment then came to his senses and hurriedly spoke.
"Good that you're ready."
"Now let our two great guest consultant take the stage to perform."
Hu Tao put her hands on her hips, looked at Yun Jin and Tian Tiezui in front of her, and nodded with a smile.
