Chapter 169 The First Day of the Funeral

Early in the morning, there was a loud banging on the door.

"Brother Chu Luo, wake up!"

"Brother Zhongli, wake up~!"

"Wendy, wake up!"

Outside the door on the second floor of the Hall of Rebirth, Klee stood with her hands on her hips. Not only were there five Klees beside her, but she also specially released ten fluffy Abyss Mages, all of whom had transformed into Klee's appearance.

The ten of them grew stronger relatively quickly and gained the right to occasionally come out and play.

Under Klee's direction, several cute little girls stood outside each of the three connected houses, banging loudly on the wooden doors.

"Get up! Sister Hu Tao asked Klee to wake you up! Get up now!"

"Bang bang~ bang bang bang bang~ bang bang~!"

"Get out of bed! Hmph! Let's all sing together! Listen to me!"

"Da da da~ da da da da da~ heave heave~"

Hearing the "symphony" outside, the three people inside the room opened their eyes, their expressions showing confusion.

Chu Luo rubbed his eyes, looking helpless. He looked outside and saw that it was just getting light. He got up and put on his clothes.

Next door, Zhong Li sat up blankly, straightening his clothes as he muttered, "Let's sleep somewhere else tonight..."

Next door, Wendy sat up, lay down, sat up again, and then lay down again, covering her ears.

After several attempts, I finally had no choice but to get up.

"Sigh...this is another little tyrant..."

A moment later, the doors of the three rooms opened at the same time, and Chu Luo, Zhong Li, and Wendy came out. They saw the hallway full of Klee, exchanged glances, and smiled bitterly.

After putting away the other fluffy items, Klee giggled.

"All assembled. Ready to head downstairs to collect your mission. Let's go!"

The little ones with short legs ran down with a whoosh, and Chu Luo couldn't help but smile at their adorable appearance.

Arriving on the first floor, the ancestral hall was quite "lively" today.

Several ritual officiants from the Rebirth Hall were busy with their own tasks. Hu Tao, standing in the center of the hall, chuckled and ran over when she saw Chu Luo and the other two come down.

First, patted Klee's head, then gave her a thumbs up: "Klee's great job! Today, the task of supervising the group admin and these two good-for-nothings is yours, understand?"

"I'll buy you toys and delicious food, and I promise I won't catch Qiqi anymore, okay?"

"Yay! We won't catch Qiqi! Klee will definitely complete the mission!"

Little Klee stood up straight, her little face beaming with happiness, looking completely won over.

Chu Luo and the other two exchanged glances, sensing that something was amiss.

Ugh... this is a bit of a headache.

Little Walnut is so clever; she managed to figure out the three of them's weaknesses so quickly.

If this little girl is watching you closely, and you don't work properly, she'll start crying and making a scene. Who can handle that?

"Mmm, that's a good girl. Klee will be the second guest elder of the Hall of Rebirth from now on~"

Hu Tao chuckled and said, "I'll give you three tasks first. These three tasks are to be done by these three people. The first task is to go outside the city to find glass lilies, and it has to be the best kind."

"The second task is to go to Chunxiang Kiln in Huyan and find Miss Ying'er. Ask her to make three portions of essential oil. The faster the better. It needs to be done before tonight, understand?"

"The third task is to register the guest list at the entrance of the Rebirth Hall, and tally up the number of people who came to offer gifts and attend the banquet. Okay, that's it~"

Hu Tao had barely finished speaking.

Three voices spoke in unison.

"I choose the third one!"

Chu Luo, Zhong Li, and Wendy spoke at the same time, looking at Little Claire.

"Hehe, how to distribute them is Klee's business. I'm going to pick up the clothes I ordered. Goodbye~"

Hu Tao chuckled mischievously, "If I come back and find you three slacking off, I'll have Ke Li hit you on the head with a blowjob!"

Walnut disappeared in a flash.

The three of them looked at each other and then settled down in Bengbu.

"Hey, Klee, the third mission is mine, right?"

Wendy winked at Keli: "Look, your brother Chu Luo is the number one guest elder of the Hall of Rebirth, so it would sound better if the number one task was done by the number one guest elder, right?"

Klee blinked, thinking it made sense.

"No, I am the number one useless person in the Hall of Rebirth. This third task is obviously the most boring and tedious, and I should share it with you two."

Zhongli remained calm, his tone seemingly imbued with philosophical wisdom: "From both a moral and logical standpoint, you both deserve better."

That old man is too cunning!

Wendy chuckled: "Then I'll go eat at Tiger Rock to make essential oils. What does the group admin say?"

I don't dare to compete with the old man, and I can't compete with Chu Luo either. What if he causes trouble for me in the group chat? Wouldn't that be terrible?

"Klee, do you not quite understand?"

Chu Luo glanced at Zhong Li and Wendy and chuckled, "This kind of thing is a bit difficult for you. This time, I'll help you assign tasks. I'll have Qi Qi and Yao Yao come over to play with you later, how about that?"

"Yay!"

Klee immediately perked up, nodding her little head: "Sister Hu Tao told Klee to watch over everyone, Brother Chu Luo is so great~ Yay~"

Beside him, Zhongli, whose expression was usually calm and composed, couldn't help but twitch his face.

Wendy was also dumbfounded. She glanced at Chu Luo with envy and secretly resolved to get along well with Little Claire.

"Okay, let's divide the tasks like this."

With a chuckle, Chu Luo spoke up: "Bards are rather romantic, so this second task, making essential oils at Chunxiang Kiln, is perfect for you. You'll definitely learn something new."

"Sir, you are very knowledgeable. The kind of glass lily that the hall master mentioned is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish, and I am not very clear about it either, so I'm leaving it to you, sir."

"We have quite a few guests today, so I'll take on the most tiring task!"

After the allocation was made, none of the three had any objections.

What opinions could there be?

The decision was now in Chu Luo's hands. Wendy chuckled, and Zhong Li nodded silently. The two left the Hall of Rebirth side by side.

The Hall of Rebirth is now full of talented people, and Chu Luo and Wendy have been officially incorporated into the staff.

Accompanied by two attendants, Chu Luo headed towards the banquet venue that Hu Tao had informed him of beforehand.

The Hall of Rebirth is located in a bustling area, but it's too small. There's a large open space outside Tiger Rock, which Walnut fenced off a few days ago to use as a good place to send off the Emperor this time.

The area beneath the two towering statues has been almost completely set up.

Two large stoves were built, and two large pots were placed on them, with something boiling in bubbling water.

The head chef for this banquet was Xiangling from Wanmintang. She was honored to be able to let everyone enjoy the farewell feast she had personally prepared for the Emperor.

The short-legged Guoba ran around, wearing a chef's hat, looking adorable.

A table was set up in front of a tent, and Chu Luo sat in a chair, quietly waiting for the guests to arrive.

A short while later, the first person arrived.

"It's actually the group admin?"

Chapter 170 The "Enthusiastic" Immortals

Hearing the sound, Chu Luo looked up.

Hmm, the cat carving is here really early.

Keqing not only arrived, but she was still dressed in a sexy little purple outfit, black stockings and high heels, and was followed by more than a dozen Thousand Rock Army soldiers holding long spears.

Good morning, Ah Qing~

Chu Luo was a little surprised, greeted him with a smile, and muttered to himself.

Why is Ah Qing so eager to eat at the Emperor's banquet?

Shouldn't you just shut yourself off for a while, feeling sad and upset, and then hug all the clay figurines in the room and cry with your eyes all red and swollen, refusing to come out?

You really can't judge a book by its cover. Ah Qing is indeed one of the Seven Stars of Liyue. She can suppress such great grief in her heart. But what's going on when I see a bit of excitement and unease in her eyes?

Good morning, group admin!

After politely greeting Chu Luo, A Qing looked around the banquet area with her big eyes, searching for that calm and composed figure, but she couldn't find him after searching for a while.

She wanted to ask, but then she remembered Ningguang's instructions, so Aqing had to suppress her impulse for the time being.

Mr. Zhongli is not here; he must be busy with something else.

We must not disrupt the Emperor's plan. The current Emperor is no longer here; only Mr. Zhongli remains.

Yes, it's Mr. Zhongli!

"What are you looking for?"

Chu Luo followed Ke Qing's gaze and looked around, but found nothing. He couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Ah, no, no, I was just checking out the place. The environment here... um, it's very nice!"

Ke Qing quickly straightened her posture, putting herself in the position of a guest at a banquet: "Group Leader, I was worried that we wouldn't be able to handle everything here, so I brought a few Thousand Rock Army soldiers to help. Group Leader, please make arrangements for them!"

"I just ran into Hu Tao. She asked me to help her move her clothes, so I'm off now~"

Wow, Ah Qing is so nice, so thoughtful.

Knowing that the ancestral hall was short-staffed, they even sent people over; that's wonderful.

"Okay, you go ahead, I'll take care of these people."

Chu Luo nodded, and after watching A Qing leave, he began to arrange the dozen or so Thousand Rock Army soldiers.
