Chapter 37 Chapter 37
It doesn't seem to be surprising news that the guest official of the Rebirth Hall has a past relationship with the immortal.
However, the message conveyed by Hu Tao in her laughter made Zhi Yi think deeply - the relationship between Ming Chong and the immortals.
But soon he didn't want to delve into it any further.
"Zhiyi, Xiao Chongzi named your star after a creature approved by the immortal!"
——"All I have to do is let him win in the end."
As soon as Hu Tao finished speaking, Ming Chong's words in the room followed closely.
"The world is very tolerant of winners. As long as they can win, it doesn't matter what they look like, right?" Ming Chong spread his hands indifferently. "And don't worry, old man fishing. After all, I'm not a good person either."
Ningguang paused fiddling with the pipe, then quickly caught it, almost failing to maintain her elegant posture.
——As expected, it was something Ah Chong could say. It would be fine if he didn't try to reassure the talented student's parents at this time, but he also added such words...
——However, it seems to be effective...
She looked at Uncle Tian with a reserved look. He sat steadily, his eyes sparkling. "Okay! I'll take that as your intention: to allow Zhiyi to live freely and unconstrained."
The conversation was basically over at this point. Ningguang sighed and felt deeply moved by Uncle Tian's good intentions towards Zhiyi. He had said all the ugly words in advance, but in fact, he was just trying to gain benefits for his beloved disciple.
Don't be too harsh on his wisdom;
Don't accuse him of being sinister and cruel;
Don't laugh at his clumsiness in life;
Don't bully him because he's powerless...
Even if Zhiyi didn't do well, he gave up a brilliant path and ended up in the treasure-stealing group.
After the Wuwangpo incident, no matter what Zhiyi did, Uncle Tian had to stand up and express his position. Now he was just giving Zhiyi a warning to let people know that he, the teacher, was still behind Zhiyi.
When Uncle Tian met Zhiyi, how could he not know that Zhiyi had a rough life and might have hidden worries?
You know, Ningguang's special intelligence officer, Ye Lan, compiled a booklet in the hands of the General Affairs Department that contains a list of those in Liyue who are of special concern...
But people don't make friends with each other by calculating. Compared with the other two disciples, Uncle Tian just brought Zhiyi with him to teach him.
"Now that the issue between Tianquan Star and Tianshu Star has been resolved, then..." Ganyu spoke slowly.
—Hey, there’s an MVP settlement step?!
Ming Chong swallowed the snacks on the plate in a few bites, picked out the crushed snacks on the table and ate them, then patted the crumbs and got up to leave.
Just when Ganyu was confused, Ningguang wanted to speak up to defend Mingchong, but she then returned to normal.
——After all, this Mr. Ming Chong is someone the Emperor knows well. He must have his reasons for doing this...
“…” Ningguang fell into deep thought. It was no secret among the Seven Stars that Ganyu was the descendant of an immortal.
In fact, even though she has become one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, A Chong is still just a fledgling treasure-stealing group.
Now she would occasionally feel indignant about the gap between the two of them. She thought that she had "returned home in wealth and honor" in front of Ming Chong, and it was her turn to protect her younger brother... She didn't expect that the Emperor would personally ask her to take good care of that kid.
——It seems this kid has been accumulating some immortal luck in these last few years?!
Although this is good, no one will criticize her for actively promoting cooperation with the treasure-stealing group, and she can also keep those "memories" secret. After all, the Emperor also supports Ah Chong, doesn't he?
But if this happens, she will probably be the one to borrow Ah Chong's power again...
"Sister Ganyu, I don't know much about this young man. I wonder how much you know about him?" Uncle Tian couldn't hold back any longer. He had always trusted the Emperor before, but now that he was sure that the other party was okay with Zhiyi, he wanted to know more.
"This..." Ganyu hesitated as she recalled those fragments.
At least they exchanged some polite words inside the house, but it was different outside.
"Hey! Isn't this Brother Bo Bing?"
“…”
How to Narrow the Distance Between Two Parties with One Sentence
Hu Tao watched with interest, her arms folded. After figuring out Zhi Yi's constellation, her brain became particularly active.
Zhiyi: Give me back my feelings! .jpg
But since this was the second time he was both moved and angry, as the saying goes, "the first time is strange, the second time is familiar", Zhiyi felt that he had matured.
"...I'm sorry Uncle Tian came all the way to find you for this, but I can join the treasure-hunting team with you now."
"It's okay, it's okay—hehehehehe!"
——The external brain is in place, I want to go to Xumi to pick up Huahua now! ! !
Ming Chong waved his hands casually and just grinned.
Walnut elbowed him meaningfully.
Tsk!
——Don’t force me to slap you when I’m happiest.jpg
"Hmm...tail starfish?"
"……ah?"

——Huh? How did she know?!
——Did cousin Dizang really bring her something? ! ! !
No.jpg
Ming Chong's mouth straightened, and he pouted with a bit of grievance, "How did you know?"
——Why do you give her something but not me?
——Is she from the same hometown as me?
"The guest official told me!" Hu Tao's voice was as brisk as her steps. "I didn't expect what you said was true. You really do know Prince Yan!"
—Oh no, this is a mistake. I didn't expect the person who betrayed me was another Ah Chong. As expected, simulated memories are like a fleeting glimpse. What's not yours is not yours after all.
Ming Chong's face was serious, but——
"You didn't believe it before? Ahhh, I'm sad! Angry! Hurt!"
Walnut was helpless and patted his arm. "How can I, Walnut, really feel this? Besides, you just saved Grandpa back then. I was so excited, happy, and worried!"
Ming Chong dodged twice but failed, so he imitated Hu Tao and hit back. Neither of them was spared!
"Xiao Chongzi, the snack crumbs on your hand rubbed against me!!!" Hu Tao was shocked and was about to pull Zhiyi to suffer together.
I didn't expect that he had already dodged it!
Zhiyi made a "yeah" gesture and shook his head.
Too naive, young master.
After suffering the loss from "The King's Lizard", he knew how could he suffer the same loss a second time?!
Zhiyi showed an expression of seeing through everything. It was okay when these two guys were fighting and playing around, but once they got involved in some prank project, it would inevitably affect the people around them.
——Far away in [Three Bowls Don’t Cross the Port], a guest from the Wangsheng Hall who did not want to reveal his name silently gave a thumbs up.
Fortunately, this time in the Jade Pavilion, they still knew how to restrain themselves...
Suddenly, Hu Tao turned her head and asked, "Just leaving like that? Zhiyi, aren't you going to say goodbye?"
“…”
Oh, and they're also great at ruining the atmosphere sometimes.
Zhiyi shook his head. Ever since he knew that his original future was not good, he had a rough idea of what he would do. He no longer knew how to face Uncle Tian, who was both his master and benefactor.
"That's all, besides, we're not going far..."
"Zhi Yi——"
The familiar voice made him stop involuntarily. Ming Chong and Hu Tao looked at each other, their lips curled up wildly, and then they slipped away as fast as they could, leaving Zhiyi alone.
But he finally held back and didn't look back.
At night, the Qun Yu Pavilion is closer to the sky than Tianheng Mountain. The empty surroundings can easily make some people want to jump down from the sky.
It was quiet all around, without even the noisy chirping of cicadas.
The moonlight is very cold.
"Eat well."
The old man who called him said calmly.
——
"By the way, Xiao Chongzi, you said before that after 'hiding your destiny', you can share some abilities. So what did you give Zhiyi?"
"Hey hey hey guess?"
“…”
"Oh my little sister, don't worry, you can definitely guess it!"
"But I don't know what kind of abilities you have. Asking me, Walnut, to guess is a bit foolish... Hey, wait! If you want me to guess, then of course it's—"
The two smiled at each other and high-fived.
"Luck!" x2
——
Zhiyi looked up at the moon, the moonlight fell into his eyes and then poured down.
After returning to Liyue, Zhiyi seemed to be walking on the street just like before. However, when he went to the dock, he would happen to meet the fishmonger Lao Gao, whose biggest fish was still on his stall; the children passing by would take turns to get candy and share some with him; and when he went fishing with Uncle Tian, he would also catch big fish...
Even though Lao Gao's fish jumped up and slapped him, and some of the candy would definitely melt, there were still many problems during the fishing process...
When he was young, he came to this dock to beg for food and walked on this road alone for a long time.
Just as he heard some movements behind him, Zhiyi's lips trembled, "Uncle Tian——"
"Bang!"
He turned around and knelt down in front of Uncle Tian's paused back, sobbing silently and kowtowed three times.

"Ye Lan, I'm afraid you've been having a hard time lately. They're still too restless, but Uncle Tian is doing most of the work right now." Ningguang closed the file and hesitated for a moment. "Were you thinking about something just now?"
"Nothing." Ye Lan's smile faded slightly, her eyes full of meaning. "It's just that the General Affairs Department's special attention list probably needs to be revised... No, maybe this secret intelligence list in my hand should also be revised."
Ningguang looked thoughtful, then looked at her inquiringly.
"The depression on my face has disappeared, so naturally I don't need to be vigilant anymore." Ye Lan laughed as she spoke, and involuntarily turned the bracelet on her wrist. "But because of Zhiyi tonight, I thought of another person..."
——
——
"Sir Rich, these are the recent traces of the Tianshu disciple. However, because this person's anti-reconnaissance awareness is too strong, our people have only found these traces. In addition, the Liyue Seven Stars have recently made many moves against us..." Felix bent respectfully, holding a booklet.
Pantalone narrowed his eyes. "We'll have to spend more money to replace the lost manpower. ... Mora can earn more. Such a good opportunity will be hard to come by in the future."
"Yes." Felix put down the information and left quietly.
The room was silent for a long time——
"Not a god... but a human with power far exceeding that of a god... hehe..."
"Ahem!" The polite executive smiled and wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, but the smile never reached his eyes. "You're so young! For such a greedy fool, you can actually feel pity... just because of our friendship as colleagues."
"It seems that it might be a good idea for me to take action myself..."
…
Liyue has recently intensified its pressure on the Fatui. Zhiyi, who withdrew from the General Affairs Department, seamlessly connected the internal affairs of the Treasure Stealing Group, and cooperated with Liyue to provide the Fatui with field intelligence, was almost busy to death.
Faced with a treasure-stealing group that lacked a formal framework, maintained its original promotion channels, and became a mismatch due to its cooperation with Liyue—
"The Only Brain" Zhiyi: ...
Fortunately, Walnut, who doesn't have to take over the Tomb-Rebirth Hall, helps out from time to time, but—
"Why is it neither the Eye of God nor the Crow Seal?" Zhiyi asked Hu Tao's destiny star.
"Hehe! Of course it's because I, Walnut, am excellent!" Walnut tossed and played with the round coins with square holes with his nimble fingers, and even performed a trick, saying proudly.
“…Is it because of the paper money?”
Walnut shook her finger. "That's wrong, that's wrong! It's not the Tail Star Crow Seal, nor the Eye of the God of Fire. It's the Quail Fire Coin! I got it at the Jade Pavilion with great difficulty!"
In fact, Hu Tao asked, "Where's mine?", and Ming Chong threw it to her.
"Alley School Dark Doggerel, there are six Quail Fire Coins!"
Zhiyi understood that Hu Tao did not accept the Eye of God that fate would give her.
"The rest..."
"Of course, the rest is up to me, Walnut. I'll go pick the stars myself!" Walnut laughed. "Destiny is really more interesting when you have to make your own way!"
Well said, but—
“Bang!”
A stack of documents was slammed on the table. "Time for small talk is over. Thanks for your hard work, little sister. These need to be sorted out."
In the end, Zhiyi still called the little girl "sister".
“…”
"Ah—where's that guy Xiao Chongzi?!"
Zhiyi was a little surprised, "Did you really count on him?"
“…”Hu Tao was defeated.
There is no way, because——
Ming Chong's kindness is not over yet.jpg

So what is Ming Chong doing, who is being cared about by so many people?

"You chose A.
You came to a world of ice and snow, where there seemed to be no trace of human beings. You decided to explore everywhere..."
