Chapter 23 Hu Anguo and Hu Tao

Chapter 23 Hu Anguo and Hu Tao

Soon after Tianhe returned to the cave to rest, Ye Lan also emerged from the shadows, and then she moved quickly in one direction. Ye Lan followed the latest intelligence passed to her by her spy and went straight to the room rented by Tianhe, but she did not knock on the door, but listened to the sounds inside the room.

However, what surprised her was that there were footsteps inside, not even the slightest sound of breathing, but the information from the spy said that the young man had never come out since he entered the room, because the shopkeeper who rented the house to him was also one of Tian Ningguang's spies, but he knew the relationship between Ye Lan and Ningguang, so he told Ye Lan the information.

"What a hassle. Should I go in and check?" Ye Lan wondered if she had exposed something. Did this boy know she was coming? It was the first time she encountered such a difficult person. Although he was a boy, it gave Ye Lan a headache, but she would never have thought that she was just fighting against herself.

Without much hesitation, Ye Lan, as a master of disguise, of course had professional lock picking tools. However, if she was given a boomerang pin, she could also open the lock, but it would take a little more effort. So, after picking the lock, Ye Lan entered the room, but did not see any trace of anyone in the room, which made her more convinced that she had been discovered, so she used a sleight of hand to confuse the surrounding spies.

Ye Lan walked around the room casually, but did not find any personal belongings or other clues left by Tianhe. Finally, she left disappointed. This was the first time she faced such a tough opponent. Of course, she closed the door. Well, that was great.

On the other side, in the Northland Bank, Dadalia also learned from her debt handler that Tianhe had appeared in Liyue Harbor and where he was now. She was very excited about this. After all, after she came to Liyue Harbor and learned about Tianhe's experience, she had been thinking about it day and night, uh, an opponent worthy of her all-out fight.

But she also knew that Tianhe should be resting at this time, so she was not like Ye Lan, a special intelligence officer who had to confirm Tianhe's location again and again. She just wanted to wait until Tianhe was full of energy, then make friends with this young man, and finally fight him fair and square. Uh, don't get the wrong idea. This martial arts fanatic had no idea that her thoughts could easily be interpreted in another way, cough.

Ye Lan returned to Yujing Terrace, found Bu Yun and said the secret code, and then stepped on the floating stone and headed to Qunyu Pavilion, but she was not in a good mood. And she was sure that Ningguang knew that she had returned in defeat, and thinking of this, Ye Lan was in an even worse mood.

This was the first time she volunteered to investigate Tianhe in front of Ningguang, but she failed. However, she did not feel disappointed after the failure. Instead, she was very excited to have an opponent. Ye Lan was such a sadistic and masochistic queen, although she considered herself to be her opponent. After all, Tianhe was still sleeping soundly in bed at this time, and he would not get up until lunch at least.

"Oh, Ye Lan, why are you back?" Although Ningguang had learned about Ye Lan's failure long ago, she still wanted to see the expression on the face of this special intelligence officer. However, she was disappointed. After all, Ye Lan was very skilled in controlling his expressions.

"I think you should know that I failed, but this trip was not without gain. He seemed to have the external scenery power of the Three-Eyed Five-Manifestation Immortal, or space teleportation or superb sleight of hand. Otherwise, there is no way to explain why this person disappeared so strangely." Ye Lan finished her analysis slowly. Ningguang was also surprised. If it was a sleight of hand, it would be easy to explain. After all, the exorcist family of Liyue had corresponding means to restrain it.

But if it is a space teleportation of unknown distance or even an external scene power, then this person's origin is worth careful consideration. While Ye Lan and Ning Guang were considering Tianhe's true origin and intentions, Zhong Li returned to the Hall of Rebirth after drinking the sobering tea and saw Hu Tao jumping next to a middle-aged man, but her expression was not very happy.

Because Hu Tao is not the 77th head of the Wangsheng Hall at this time, but the one who looks like a middle-aged man, who is the 75th head, that is, Hu Tao's grandfather. Let's call him Hu Anguo. He wears a Qiankun Tai Gua hat and a very traditional Chinese black uniform. Although Hu Anguo is very old, he still looks bright and amiable at this time, but he still wants to play some small games with Hu Tao to give Hu Tao more happy memories.

The old man was still in good health at this time, but Zhong Li also felt it carefully, and Hu Anguo was just holding on in front of Hu Tao. However, he did not feel sad about his departure soon. Instead, he was quite open-minded and was still trying to make little Hu Tao laugh, but Hu Tao was not very happy. Although Hu Tao was about the same age as Xiangling, she was also very sensible now. She knew that behind Hu Anguo's smile, he was also carrying Hu Tao to deal with his own affairs. After all, grandpa could hardly hold her now~

Thinking of this, Hu Tao could no longer control her tears, and then "Woo wow ~" "Hey, Hu Tao, don't cry, Grandpa is here, Grandpa is here." Hu Anguo looked at Hu Tao and was a little overwhelmed. He glanced at Zhong Li, as if he wanted to have some private time with Hu Tao. Then Zhong Li also saw it and expressed understanding, so he quietly retreated to his room to give Hu Anguo and little Hu Tao a private space.

"It's okay, it's okay~" Hu Anguo patted Hu Tao's back patiently. He knew that Hu Tao's sadness would never be due to crying for no reason, so he asked her, "Hu Tao, why are you crying? Tell grandpa if you have anything to say. Grandpa is listening."

"Grandpa, Grandpa, are you going to leave Hu Tao soon? You have told Hu Tao many times that we are born when we are alive and die when we are dead. Follow your heart and do your best. But I don't want Grandpa to leave you." Hu Ande knew that this was the reason why Hu Tao was crying, so he didn't say much for a long time, but just sighed silently. After Hu Tao cried for a while, she was tired and slowly fell asleep with tears on her face. After all, Hu Tao was just a little girl of twelve years old.

Zhong Li felt that Hu Tao had fallen asleep, and then came out to look at Hu Anguo, wanting to ask: "Master Hu, you~" "Take her to the room." Zhong Li looked at Hu Anguo's back as he walked away, as if he had aged several years. He was silent for a while, and then seemed to reply: "Okay, Master."

Some people may ask whether Hu Anguo knew Zhong Li's true identity, otherwise why would he give Zhong Li the greatest tolerance and give the guest the power to let Wangsheng Hall reimburse the bill. Well, there is no doubt about this. In the setting of this book, the old hall master must know Zhong Li's true identity. As for how he knew his true identity, it may be related to the origin of Wangsheng Hall.

Although the Hall of the Dead is a funeral service organization in Liyue on the surface, if we go back in time, we can trace it back to the period of the Demon War. At that time, the Hall of the Dead can be said to be the earliest health organization in Liyue, and may even be the earliest health organization on the continent of Teyvat. After all, although the demons were defeated one by one, their resentment lingered for a long time, and even turned into a plague, which spread among ordinary people and was regarded by terrified people as a "curse from the demons." Later, the original founder of the Hall of the Dead took a series of measures to purify the air and burn the bodies of those who died of the plague, which is to control the source of infection and cut off the transmission route in today's context.

Later, it took a long time for the Hall of Rebirth to gradually drive back death with human flesh and blood, restore the balance, and draw a clear line between life and death, thus creating the current Liyue Harbor and Hall of Rebirth.

The author would like to explain the organization of Wangshengtang first. It can only be said that Wangshengtang is a funeral organization, but the price they paid before that was beyond everyone's imagination. Perhaps this is why Zhong Li chose to stay in Wangshengtang as a guest official. On the one hand, as a human being, he could stay in Liyue and witness this ancient country; on the other hand, he could fulfill the contract with Hu Anguo.

After Zhong Li sent Hu Tao into the room, he slowly put her on the bed, covered her with a quilt, checked her condition, and poured a glass of water on the table. He then walked out and slowly closed the door. Hu Tao opened her eyes. Although she was still in pain, she was much better than before.

"Grandpa, I will work hard to become a qualified head of the Wangsheng Hall!" Hu Tao encouraged herself silently. But at this time, it was noon and Tianhe woke up.

What kind of story happened to Tianhe after Liyue? Let us wait and see, and listen to the author’s explanation next time!
