Chapter 28: Attracting Butterflies
Wow! Zhiyi, we know each other!
Ming Chong couldn't help but raise his head and chest, and suddenly he felt more confident.
There was no way. As long as he thought about the person who was put in a sack by him in public in the crowd, and was stared at by many eyes in their treasure-stealing group's lair, and had his information read all night, he knew that he was actually the disciple that Tianshuxing had chosen.
Ming Chong easily developed a sense of absurdity.
——Sure enough, this world is just a huge makeshift team!
——It’s the same feeling I had when I found out that the street urchin in Liyue Harbor was the incarnation of Morax.
——This Liyue, take the pill! (Convinced)
"Thank you very much, Brother Mingbo." Hu Tao had of course noticed Ming Chong's change. With just a glance, she had an idea of what to do next. With a smile on her face, she quickly rushed to Zhiyi and said, "Hello, Brother Zhiyi. I'll trouble you from now on."
Zhiyi looked at the two of them calmly, smiled and nodded gently, and his shy and harmless scholarly temperament made him look easy to talk to.
"Hello, young man and little sister, I heard everything just now. It's really not easy for you."
"But you haven't been a member for long, right? As a brother and sister, you depend on each other, so it's not good for you to stay in the group forever..." Zhiyi led the way in front, talking gently to ease the tension between the two.
——Oh, I was right about Walnut, he is a tough guy!
Walnut was quite proud in her heart, and she quickly took big strides to catch up with him. She had only one question -
She felt her clothes tighten on her back and turned her head to see that the little brother who called her "sister" all the time and seemed to have some important background smiled shyly, with a bit of flattery on his face.
Look at those clear eyes again, oh my!
This little brother still doesn't understand what I mean!
Hu Tao thought to herself, this time she had finally met her match. As the saying goes, "I'm not afraid of god-like opponents, but I'm afraid of pig-like teammates." If they ran into both of them, it would be a disaster.
Focus on people!
But it was rare for her to meet such a friend with whom she could talk, so she was really confused and went back.
Losing face is a small matter, but the big matter is that you can no longer be called "little sister" in the future!
Because of this delay, they were still unable to catch up, so Zhiyi turned around to look at them.
Hu Tao covered her mouth and smiled shyly, "I'm sorry, Brother Zhiyi, people outside always looked down on him, so my brother has been shy since he was a child..."
Then, taking advantage of the opportunity to cover her face, Hu Tao pursed her lips, then looked at Ming Chong, nodded slightly with a firm gaze, and quietly made a gesture of beating her heart with her other hand - leave it to me, don't worry!
Watch out for what happens next!
Ming Chong was then moved and cooperated by acting like a coward who had to be taken care of by his sister. At this moment, he was really impressed by this little sister.
This character of a mute brother who needs the power of God is perfect for him.
It’s really a true portrayal of herself, isn’t it!
The other party smiled in understanding and slowed down the pace of caring for the brother and sister...
"By the way, little sister, the certificate you just got... seems to be made of gold, right?" Zhiyi still looked gentle like a spring breeze.
But Ming Chong suddenly felt a chill on his spine, his intuition telling him something was wrong. Perhaps that kid had already realized something was amiss from the start? He had recently acquired the Tibetan Silver Crow Seal, and he'd seen countless people reveal their life struggles and problems during their conversations.
It's hard to say, he probably has a clear idea of the scope of the treasure-stealing group in his mind...
What's more, he also knew how difficult it was to get promoted in the treasure-stealing group. If the news records didn't reveal anything about them, whether it was the brother and sister making a living together, or quickly rising to the top in just a few days, it would be too iconic.
Zhiyi is worthy of being Jia Xu of Teyvat, so cunning!
Ming Chong: ...
What can he do?
There is only a golden crow mark on his body!
Hu Tao wasn't surprised at all by Ming Chong's frequent eye contact, so she pursed her lips and smiled, "Ahahaha! Brother Zhiyi, of course not! My brother and I were worried about getting into danger, so we disguised this thing..."
"Although my brother is a bit dull, his craftsmanship is top-notch!" Hu Tao handed him the Golden Crow Seal naturally and continued to make up her story. "Once we make some quick money and cure my illness, we plan to use my brother's skills to start a small business..."
Sure enough, Ming Chong took it and rubbed it with his hands, and the Gold-Grabbing Crow Seal faded and turned into the Treasure-Hunting Crow Seal.
——As expected of a little sister!
He casually mentioned his family background. Although it was a little difficult to disguise it to other people, disguising it to things was definitely something he practiced on a daily basis!
It’s high, really high!
Ming Chong pretended to be reserved and lowered his head, but in fact he was hiding his unnecessary expression. He was quite happy to leave things to the little sister and treat himself as a camera.
It is indeed the business of the treasure-stealing group, but now——
What? (Monkey King Turns Back.jpg)
Aren’t external brains everywhere?
Hehehehehe!
This incident illustrates a truth:
As long as you have the right brain, serious work can be turned into fun.
The confrontation between the two men continued. Ming Chong didn't understand a word of it, but that didn't stop him from watching the show.
Walnut sighed inwardly, and looked at him with a bit of pity and kindness. This little brother was good in every way, except for one thing——
I'm drooling after being cured.
Go play, it's none of your business.jpg
Zhiyi's expression revealed a hint of concern. "By the way, little sister, why didn't you find someone to lead the way? I remember that everyone who came before followed a guide..."
"...Well..." Hu Tao immediately realized that something was wrong. Although she was young and had little information, she only knew about the treasure-stealing group and the internal affairs inspection of Liyue. She was replacing the identity of the inspector.
But she keenly sensed that there was definitely a trap in these words! She just didn't know what it was...
Ming Chong: Ah! I know the answer to this question!
I guessed the question right!
Ming Chong quickly started talking in a babbling voice, interrupting Hu Tao's deliberation, and started gesturing.
This series of actions left Zhiyi completely confused, and he was completely bewildered.
but!
It wasn't meant to be a demonstration to him. The two of them immediately had an encrypted conversation in front of Zhiyi, conspiring loudly.
Don’t say that, don’t say that!
If you are not good enough, don’t blame the uneven road.
Hu Tao really understood it. She even demonstrated it according to her own understanding. Her movements were completely different from Ming Chong's, but Ming Chong nodded to confirm her understanding.
Zhiyi: Tactical Facing Back.jpg
—No, you guys still have this trick up your sleeve?! Then what was all that back-and-forth probing we did just now?
——Are you kidding me?!
Sometimes, having too many flaws can actually make the story more coherent. It's not impossible that the brother knows something that the sister doesn't, or that the brother doesn't know something that the sister understands...
Zhiyi watched the two people having a conversation that was similar to "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" and slowly closed his eyes.
All his knowledge was wasted...
After the two finished their statements, Zhiyi put on a perfect fake smile and said, "Little sister, you two siblings have such a good relationship. Are you used to communicating like this?"
Walnut looked shy, then pretended to be open-minded, "Hahahaha, it's not so bad. After all, we've survived together. If only one of us were left, then it would be like a hemp rope breaking at the thinnest point, and misfortune only favors the unfortunate!"
Only one left...
Hemp ropes tend to break at the thinnest point, and misfortune only finds its way to the unfortunate...
Zhiyi felt inexplicably stung by these words, but since he knew that the other party really didn't know anything about him, he endured it.
After understanding everything, Zhiyi lost the mood to continue the confrontation. The treasure-hunting group was well-informed and their cohesion was growing stronger. It was not surprising that someone provided detailed information about the withdrawal process and the required documents.
The subsequent paperwork was quickly and successfully handed over.
In fact, from an angle that Zhiyi couldn't see, Hu Tao looked at Ming Chong with surprise and excitement as he took out a brown paper bag from his arms, and the two of them exchanged glances about this thing.
Walnut: What is this?
Ming Chong: Salt-grilled lizard (pout), I strongly recommend you don’t try it in the future.
Walnut: I’ve heard of it. It must be from Wanmin Hall!
Ming Chong nodded slowly and firmly, giving her full approval.
Walnut (inexplicably moved): If I can make you react like this, little brother, I must try it!
Ming Chong's expression seemed to be slowed down five times, his features all twitching, and he was trying hard to make a sound like "No - don't - ah -"
Walnut: Hey, what's this? Take a bite.
“…”

She nodded with a heavy expression. In such a complicated look, Ming Chong disguised the remaining brown paper bag as the official withdrawal document from the Treasure Hunting Group.
In short, the expressions they gave Zhiyi were truly strange. Although the document had been successfully disguised, Mingchong wasn't very skilled at it, and it still carried that lingering smell.
Ming Chong/Hu Tao: He is truly a warrior.
"Okay, Mingchong, Mingtao, please take some time in a few days to visit Mingbo and submit your proof of being a minor, and you will be able to get a subsidy approved by Qixing." Zhiyi still looked so well-dressed.
However, in the eyes of Ming Chong and Hu Tao, a certain brilliance had already appeared on it - it was the king's lizard!
Hu Tao was the first to react. She suddenly realized that the person in front of her would not eat the documents raw, so she immediately interrupted Ming Chong's admiration.
"Ahem, ahem... In that case, thank you so much, Brother Zhiyi!" Hu Tao dragged Ming Chong and swaggered out of the General Affairs Department.
Standing at the door of the General Affairs Department with her back to the light, Hu Tao took off the scales on Ming Chong's face and stuck them on her own face. She had long wanted to try the feeling of sticking this thing on her face!
Then the two of them left intimately, arm in arm, skipping away.
…
The next day.
Ningguang looked at the crooked note that Baiwen handed to the desk.
“I went to the General Affairs Department for an inspection, so there’s no need to praise me.
——Ming Chong (God's Mouth version already available)
“…”
"Is Bai Xiao here?"
The next second, Bai Xiao walked in with a document that had fermented overnight, had a strong smell, and vaguely distorted the space.
Under the watchful eyes of Ningguang, Baiwen, and Baixiao, several documents that were still constantly changing turned into pieces of kraft paper, which seemed to be the same piece of kraft paper.
"...Is Zhiyi okay?"
