Chapter 12 The Master of the Rebirth Hall

Chapter 12 The Master of the Rebirth Hall

"The Fatui's new twelfth executive officer, codenamed the Reckless, and known as Lerch in winter. The name he uses in Liyue Harbor is Liu Bai. He is suspected to be from Liyue, but no relevant name has been found..."

On the top of the Jade Pavilion, a graceful woman with long white hair frowned slightly as she held the latest information in her hand.

The second young master of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce informed the boss of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce of the news about Liu Bai, and he sent the information to Qun Yu Pavilion.

It stands to reason that the identities of the Fatui executives are all public, symbolizing the majesty of Solstice, but this executive is almost blank in this regard, with only a name "Lerch" that he took after joining the Fatui.

"Oh yes, there is another clue. He seemed to have come to Liyue three months ago, but he left after staying for less than a day."

Ningguang remembered another piece of information on the table, pointed at the date on it and walked forward to explain to another purple-haired girl beside her.

The girl had long purple hair braided into two ponytails, with some hair on top of her head tied into a shape similar to cat ears. She was wearing purple and white clothes, and her long legs were covered in black stockings.

She is none other than Keqing, the Yuheng Star among the Seven Stars of Liyue.

"This date..."

Keqing looked at the detailed date in the intelligence and suddenly thought of something. She subconsciously raised her hand and touched the hairpin on her head.

"It was also on this day that I lost my hairpin..."

Ningguang was a little confused by Keqing's sudden action, so Keqing had to explain it this way.

"But it's impossible for the Fatui's executive officer to come to Liyue just to steal my hairpin. It must be just a coincidence..."

Soon Keqing shook her head again. She could only say that the Fatui's executors had left a stereotype on people, and when bad things happened, they would subconsciously think of them.

"Anyway, it's best to keep an eye on him as much as possible during his stay in Liyue."

"Yes, I agree."

……

"Well……"

The next morning, Liu Bai stretched and sat up from the bed.

"Ding Di, good morning, host."

The system greeted Liu Bai as usual to prevent Liu Bai from forgetting its existence.

"What the hell, system? Haha, I have a system too. I am indeed the protagonist, hahaha!"

After hearing the system prompt, Liu Bai excitedly lifted the quilt.

"..."

"Ding Di, the system is binding..."

"Binding failed. The installation package is damaged. Please go to the system official website to re-download the full version installation package."

Just as Liu Bai excitedly stood up from the bed, the system issued another prompt sound.

"...?"

Liu Bai's celebratory action froze in place, and then he sat down silently, hugged his legs, and fell into a gloomy state.

"What's wrong with you?"

Nashida, who had been sitting on the bed reading a book since last night, turned around and looked at Liu Bai in confusion, as if his life had become bleak.

"The system installation failed... The system doesn't want me anymore..."

Liu Bai was in a gloomy state and muttered to himself.

Due to the influence of the [Cognitive Correction] function, Nashida didn't quite understand what Liu Bai said, so she had to close the book, gently climbed onto the bed, and put her hand on Liu Bai's head.

"Don't be afraid... No one will abandon you, and I will accompany you..."

Nashida gently stroked Liu Bai's head, and the fluorescent light from her hands slowly soothed his spirit.

With Nashida's comfort, Liu Bai finally came out of the shadow of losing the system.

"System, I want soy milk and fried dough sticks for breakfast!"

Liu Bai, who had recovered, got out of bed refreshed and then shouted to the air.

"Didi, the price for a [simple breakfast] is 100 million Mora, do you want to buy it?"

After pretending to be dead for a while, the system continued to pop up prompts. It liked to use this kind of expensive trick to make Liu Bai give up.

"Fuck your system, you are a bitch, you are selling it at such a high price..."

"Come on, girl, let's go out for breakfast!"

Liu Bai cursed at the air for a while, then took Nashida's hand and walked outside together.

After leaving the rented house, Liu Bai happened to take a look at the Hall of Rebirth next to it.

Although the Wangsheng Hall is open at night, it does not mean that it is closed during the day. After all, funerals are not held only at night, and the purchase of coffins, paper money for the dead, etc. are businesses that are only done during the day.

"Oh my, it's such a nice day today. I haven't gotten up so early in a long time~!"

At the entrance of the Hall of Rebirth, a girl with dark brown hair squinted her eyes and stretched her body.

Suddenly, she discovered something, and her eyes with plum blossom patterns suddenly looked towards the house next to the Wangsheng Hall.

At this time, Liu Bai had already walked out of the house with Nashida.

"Oh, it's our new neighbor. Hello, I'm Hu Tao, the 77th head of Wangsheng Hall."

Hu Tao's eyes lit up and she immediately went over to greet Liu Bai and the others.

Listening to Hu Tao's way of greeting, Liu Bai pondered for a moment, recalling what the landlord said yesterday.

After looking the playful girl in front of him up and down, Liu Bai responded to her enthusiastically:

"Nice to meet you. I am Liu Bai, the 33rd tenant of the rental house next to Wangsheng Hall."

"I've long heard that Mr. Walnut is gentle and handsome, and today I see that he is indeed as he is said to be."

Liu Bai held Hu Tao's hand with both of his own and spoke sincerely.

Although he just learned this sentence yesterday.

"Oh my, my, I feel a little embarrassed by your praise, but why do you call me sir?"

Hu Tao was somewhat happy to be praised, but she felt something was strange, so she couldn't help but ask Liu Bai.

When the word "Xiansheng" is used to address a woman, it usually refers to a respected woman or an admirable artist, such as Yun Jin of Yunhan Society.

No one has ever called themselves this before!

"……Um."

Hu Tao's question made Liu Bai silent for a moment. He frowned and looked at Hu Tao's chest, then looked back at Nashida's chest, and finally looked down at his own chest.

"That's right, how can a boy be younger than my girl?"

Liu Bai looked at it for a while and said with certainty.

"...???"

Kurumi's eyes widened unconsciously.

So vicious! This was the first time she had met such a vicious person!

"Haha, Mr. Liu Bai, you're joking... By the way, would you like to take a look at the promotions at our Wangsheng Hall? I think it's very suitable for you. And it's buy one get one free~"

Hu Tao smiled strangely, took out a flyer of the Wangsheng Hall from somewhere and asked Liu Bai.

"Sorry, I have downloaded the National Anti-Fraud App and I don't accept sales pitches."

Hearing this, Liu Bai shook his head without hesitation, took Nashida away, and left Hu Tao with a little resentment in his eyes.

'Write down every client, it will come in handy sooner or later...'

Although she is not very old, as a teenage girl, how could she not care about her physical development?

"Actually, I think it suits you."

Being pulled away by Liu Bai, Nashida could feel the resentment behind her and couldn't help but raise her head and speak to Liu Bai.

After all, she came to snatch the Heart of the Rock God, and she felt that she might really need it.

"Really? If you like it, I'll go back and buy one! Buy one get one free is enough for us to use together!"

"forget it!"

Nashida quickly grabbed Liu Bai who wanted to return the same way.

In this way, the two of them bought some buns and soy milk on the street to fill their stomachs.

Afterwards, Liu Bai decided to formally begin his own investigation and look for a way to meet the Rock God.

Nashida planned to go to Wanwen Collection to buy some new books. She had already finished reading the books she bought when she was shopping with Liu Bai yesterday.

Ever since she left the Xumi realm and lost the connection with the void terminal, the only way for her to continue to acquire knowledge was the most primitive yet most poetic way of reading.

"Okay, go ahead, girl, but don't sneak back to Xumi to go to jail, or I will definitely get you out!"

Liu Bai was a little worried and gave Nashida serious instructions.

"I see."

Nashida had no choice but to nod in response, and then she separated from Liu Bai, who looked reluctant, and walked towards Wanwen Collection with a small bag of Mora given by Liu Bai.

"Take care of yourself, don't get lost, and come find me if someone bullies you!"

Liu Bai couldn't help but shouting towards Nashida who was gradually moving away, attracting confused looks from passers-by.
