Chapter 373 Where is Zhongli, the guest official of my Wangsheng Hall, now?
After hearing this answer, Hu Tao did not say whether he believed it or not. He just looked as if he understood it and nodded slowly.
Yuan Zhuoyue was able to sense the power differentiated from the cluster of fire he gave out, and now although the [filth] had accumulated to a relatively dangerous amount in the Layered Rock Abyss.
However, these negative forces are still relatively stable in their current state.
In the absence of any sudden stimulation, it will take some time for these long-accumulated negative forces to completely erupt.
And now, even if there is external stimulation, these [filth] will spread everywhere.
With the cluster of golden flames given to the immortals by Yuan Zhuoyue as a coordinate and positioning, Yuan Zhuoyue can also find his own power in an instant, arrive at the scene and control these [filth] within a certain range.
So now, facing Hu Tao who is holding him back, Yuan Zhuoyue is still relatively patient.
But the deeper reason was that Hu Tao paid for her meal today. As the saying goes, one should be grateful to others and eat their food.
When facing this small creditor, Yuan Zhuoyue felt that he should naturally be more humble and polite.
Yuan Zhuoyue and Hu Tao came out of the tavern together. On the way back to the Wangsheng Hall, they heard Hu Tao chattering about some past experiences related to Zhongli.
Yuan Zhuoyue just listened carefully without making any comments, and only responded occasionally to show that he was indeed listening to the interesting stories she told.
Just as Yuan Zhuoyue escorted Hu Tao back to Wangsheng Hall and was about to leave.
But suddenly she felt a slight pulling sensation on her sleeve. Yuan Zhuoyue lowered her eyes and saw that it was Kurumi who was pulling her sleeve.
But when Yuan Zhuoyue looked over, the hand that was tightly grasping the sleeve with such force that the knuckles turned white, slowly loosened its grip.
She let the wide sleeves slip from her fingers along with their weight.
But those bright eyes stared at Yuan Zhuoyue with a burning gaze, as if he had thousands of words to say, but because of various concerns, he chose to remain silent in the end.
Yuan Zhuoyue had roughly guessed at this time what the young hall master had left unsaid.
She sighed helplessly, and then said softly in a low and gentle voice: "...Master Hu, do you still have anything you want to ask?"
Hearing this question, Hu Tao was stunned for a moment, then she realized that her acting skills might not be that good.
Everything she tried so hard to hide might have been exposed to the other party in that period of time.
Hu Tao did not feel embarrassed or ashamed about having her disguise exposed. Instead, she felt that everything was finally settled and she could ask what was on her mind without any scruples.
So Hu Tao asked a question that had been lingering in her heart ever since she learned the truth of the matter, a question that she only had the chance to ask today.
"...Where is Zhongli now?" Hu Tao raised her neck, stared at the unknown being in the body of another person, and asked the question that concerned her most: "I have learned from the traveler...You are not Zhongli, so where is Zhongli, the guest of my Wangsheng Hall, now?"
Hu Tao was shocked when she discovered the truth, because the other party's words and actions were not too different from Zhongli, who had been with her for many years.
She easily believed the excuse of amnesia and did not delve further into the matter. She felt something was wrong.
But after discovering the truth of the matter, Hu Tao belatedly realized how terrible this was.
She regretted her negligence and carelessness, and did not realize at the beginning that her elder, who was both her teacher and friend, had been replaced by a strange outsider at some point.
It seemed that the other party could easily integrate into Zhongli's previous life by using "amnesia" as an excuse, and replace him without anyone noticing.
You can become him and replace him imperceptibly.
Fortunately, this unknown existence did not do so, but calmly went to find the immortals of Liyue and admitted his identity as an outsider.
But that was all Walnut knew. She learned this shocking news from Paimon who accidentally let it slip when she met the traveler and Paimon by chance.
But all she knew was this piece of news, and no other details.
Even though she asked repeatedly, the Traveler remained tight-lipped and unwilling to say more. What surprised her even more was that little Paimon was the same.
After realizing that she had let the cat out of the bag, Paimeng actually kept covering her mouth with her hands during the subsequent conversation. She looked as if she was afraid that she would accidentally reveal some shocking news again.
Unable to obtain any useful information from the travelers, Walnut naturally decided to take care of himself.
She knew before that Zhongli's origin was very unusual and he was not an ordinary person. So when she found out that the unknown being who occupied Zhongli's body actually took the initiative to run to the immortals and fall into their trap, Hu Tao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The immortals always know better than a mere mortal like her how to solve the problem that Zhongli is facing now, right?
But after learning the news and a brief observation, Hu Tao didn't see anything else, but was around this unknown existence with the body of her good guest.
Instead, quite a few immortals hidden in the mortal world were discovered. It was not until this time that Hu Tao realized that there were so many immortals mingling in the mortal world in Liyue.
However, during this process, Hu Tao also keenly noticed that many immortals were humble and polite to this guest official.
This also made Hu Tao's anxious heart feel more at ease.
After all... from the moment he met the Immortal until today, the Immortal's attitude towards the current 'Zhongli' has always been so harmonious and friendly.
Does this mean that this unknown existence does not pose any harm?
Zhongli is also one of the immortals. He has been with the immortals of Liyue for many years. Even if their relationship is not particularly good, he should be considered familiar with them.
The current attitudes of the immortals are so friendly, so can we infer from this attitude that Zhongli has not suffered any harm now?
Walnut was looking forward to it, so she turned to the person in front of her and asked, "...Is he okay?"
