Chapter 416 Zhongli: Miss, please stay
The midday sun shone through the window, and Ye Li, who had his eyes closed, opened them. An indifferent, ruthless, lonely, and unchanging aura spread over him, and then slowly faded away.
“Huh~, I’m at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage, and I’m only one step away from achieving the Divine Transformation Stage. However, I still need to make more preparations. I won’t take any risks unless I’m 100% sure, even if I’m 98% sure. Otherwise, it’s no different from sending myself to death.”
Exhaling lightly, Ye Li looked comfortably at the sunlight shining in from the window. He felt much happier. He sat up, turned around and walked towards the kitchen.
After finishing lunch, Ye Li sat happily on the stone table in the courtyard, drinking tea quietly and admiring the fallen leaves from the big tree next to him. He was in such a happy mood.
But the happy day had not lasted for two seconds, when Hu Tao rushed in hurriedly, completely disregarding Ye's mood, and chirped:
"Oh no, Yeli Keqing, Zhongli...he has turned into a stalker!"
"Hey, Hall Master, do you know how to knock... Pfft! What did you say? Zhongli has become a stalker!"
Ye Li wanted to make a joke to Hu Tao, but the tea he just drank was sprayed out and spilled all over the table. His expression was one of shock beyond words.
As for why Ye Li believed Hu Tao's one-sided story, Hu Tao usually wouldn't joke about things related to Zhong Li, especially the thing about him being a stalker, that couldn't possibly be false.
Ye Li stood up quickly, and recalled the imperceptible fluctuation of time and space last night in his mind. A drop of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He immediately activated the communication function of the inner world and contacted Buyer.
"Well, Buyer, although the device is almost complete, you didn't say anything when you set out. This puts me in a very passive position."
"Isn't this a little surprise for you?"
Listening to the familiar and joyful voice in his mind, Ye Li went straight to the point with a slight headache and asked how many people came with him for the first time crossing.
"The space-time tunnel can only support three people at most. I, Guizhong, and Mr. Morax are all here. Judging from the time fluctuations on your side, Guizhong, who entered the space-time tunnel first, should be the first to arrive. What's going on? Is there any movement on her side?"
"It's more than just a move. It's almost here. How am I going to slack off after this, mom?"
"I'm sorry, Ye Li, I won't be here for a while, so I can't help you. But Miss Gui Zhong knows her limits. After all, she loves to have fun."
Watching the fun, I am almost becoming part of the fun, and of course you are the ones who are having fun.
Ye Li was speechless. He was trying to do two things at once. On one hand, he discussed with Buyer how to deal with the naughty Gui Zhong, on the other hand, he followed Hu Tao out the door, jumped between buildings, and rushed to the market at the port at a very fast speed.
A few minutes later, Ye Li and Hu Tao hid in a small alley, occasionally looking towards the street, looking for their respective targets.
Ye Li immediately spotted a girl standing next to the candied haws stall. Except for her clothes and hair color, there was no other change. It could be said that she was acting blatantly, which made Ye Li's eyes twitch.
Hu Tao placed her hand on her forehead, looked up at the people coming and going on the street, and found Zhongli in a corner. From his perspective, Hu Tao saw a girl whose appearance was not inferior to hers, and even surpassed hers, eating a candied haws, and she looked even cuter than herself.
A strange thought flashed through her mind, and Hu Tao carefully looked at the girl that Zhongli was paying attention to.
Wait? Why does this color combination look so familiar? Although I don't judge people by appearance, it really looks like this.
Brown hair, golden eyes, and a gorgeous long-sleeved robe in black and gold. The bells hanging around her waist and the decorations on her hair all highlight the girl's cuteness and beauty. Especially the uncle selling candied haws. His smile of satisfaction at seeing his daughter grow up is beyond words.
Hu Tao observed the girl and Zhongli who was following behind the girl, then looked at Ye Li who was called over to keep the situation under control, and couldn't help but fall into the longest contemplation of her life.
Stopping and walking along the way, making turns, Ye Li, Hu Tao, Zhong Li and the girl who was being followed formed a wonderful balance line. They wandered around in the market at the port. During this time, the girl bought a lot of specialties, and took out more and more Mora from her coat sleeves. She was definitely a rich woman.
Although Ye Li's scalp did not feel numb, he could tell at a glance that the Mora that the girl took out was not from his time and space, but belonged to Morax in this time and space. This made him feel relieved.
As for where these Moras came from, they landed near home, so it is reasonable for them to come in and take some money that belongs to "themselves".
Gui Zhong used his authority to sense the three people following him from behind, and a faint smirk appeared on the corner of his mouth.
In her observation, Ye Li, who was the most nervous, was one of the reasons why she came here this time. Although she came here just to play, seeing the usually calm child so nervous really made her, as a mother, happy.
After strolling around the street for an hour, Gui Zhong finally walked towards his destination with satisfaction, while the three people from Wangsheng Hall who had been following him all the way had strange expressions.
Zhongli frowned slightly. He was originally listening to an opera and drinking tea this morning, but when he turned around, he ran into a girl who looked so much like his old friend. Even her voice was exactly the same, which made him want to observe her.
Although no matter from which angle you look at it, the girl not far away is indeed an ordinary person, but the little habits she showed from time to time made Zhongli have an unrealistic fantasy, or a reincarnation theory.
Putting aside the imagination in his mind, Zhongli followed the girl in the dark and came to the familiar door of the Hall of Rebirth. At the same time, Ye Li and the other girl, who had been noticed by him a long time ago, also stopped and looked at each other with different expressions.
After going around in circles, they found out that the other party's target was actually the Hall of Rebirth, so they had made a wasted trip.
Ye Li no longer cared and regained his original calmness. No matter what his mother played, he just tried his best to cooperate.
It was the rotation time of the day and night shifts in the Wangsheng Hall, and Guizhong's arrival made the staff at the door look at each other in surprise. After all, it was the first time they saw a girl holding various snacks in her hands and carrying a large wooden box on her back.
No, they seemed to have seen this style before. The guest official Yeli who went on business trips from time to time seemed to wear similar attire, and from his appearance, he did look like a guest official. Could they be relatives?
Just as the staff at the entrance of the Hall of Rebirth were whispering, Gui Zhong walked to the entrance of the Hall of Rebirth without paying any attention to the strange looks from others, took out a portrait from the box behind him, and placed it in front of the staff, saying:
"Have you seen the person in this portrait? He is my son. I heard that he is working here, so I came to meet him."
Gui Zhong's direct and straightforward statement left the staff stunned.
At the same time, Zhongli, who appeared behind him, was silenced by this sentence. He turned his head to glance at Ye Li who was walking from a distance, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Hu Tao's originally confused expression suddenly changed as if she had suddenly realized something and understood the mystical law of heaven and earth, then she clapped her hands and showed an expression of "I see". Looking at Ye Li who had already walked out, she quickly quickened her pace to catch up. She would not miss this big melon.
However, Zhongli could confirm that Yeli and Hutao were still some distance away from the Hall of Rebirth, and it would be difficult to get there in a short time. So he decided to follow his heart, stepped forward, and spoke to the girl who asked if she was ready to leave:
"Miss, please stay. I have already notified the person you are looking for. I believe he will be here soon. During this time, please go to the Hall of Rebirth and wait for a while. After all, Young Friend Ye Li has helped me a lot."
