"Alright, it's settled then. I'll recommend you to Little Walnut when we get to Liyue Harbor. By the way, Ying, would you like to register your name at the Hall of Rebirth as well?"

"If you register your name at the Hall of Rebirth, you should be able to live there and won't need to look for a place in Liyue Harbor. I remember that the rent for a house in Liyue Harbor is quite high."

"Well, okay, then I'll leave it to you, Su Bai."

Ying paused, the words of refusal already on the tip of her tongue, but upon hearing the second half of Su Bai's sentence, her tone changed, and she immediately agreed. As for Paimon, as long as there was good food, she would have no objection to sleeping with Ying on Wuwang Slope.

After Su Bai gave Mona a brief explanation of the work at the Hall of Rebirth, Mona understood that she wasn't there to move corpses, but rather to fill in when the Hall of Rebirth was short-staffed. Su Bai's throat was dry from explaining.

"Boss, is the almond tofu ready yet?"

"Young Master Su Bai, there was indeed a slight mishap in the kitchen. Yan Xiao is brewing you a pot of good tea."

Philgoldette swayed her hips as she walked from behind the counter to the table to explain to Su Bai that this fox spirit was someone that Lady Ningguang had personally instructed not to offend. If anyone else asked, Philgoldette would definitely just give a perfunctory answer.

"What's wrong with the kitchen? Did it explode? That shouldn't be the case. Little Claire has been sitting quietly on the stool the whole time."

"Young Master Su Bai is joking. The problem with the kitchen is that Yan Xiao said he saw a little girl ghost in the kitchen and insists on finding a master to exorcise it."

"And today, a so-called master heard the news and came to exorcise the ghost."

A little girl's ghost? Su Bai pondered for a moment. He seemed to have heard Hu Tao mention this before. Logically speaking, Yan Xiao shouldn't be able to see it.

Phil Goddart placed a small white kitten in front of Klee, whose eyes lit up as she petted the kitten. The kitten obediently lay on the table, letting Klee touch it all over.

At the same time, Philgoldet breathed a sigh of relief. She knew all too well how destructive the Spark Knight was. It seemed that thankfully, the Spark Knight wasn't as interested in the kitchen as her mother, otherwise the Wangshu Inn would probably have had to be renovated.

"Oh? A master of exorcism? I haven't sensed any immortal or elemental power around here. Could it be some new type of exorcism method?"

Su Bai became interested when he heard that a ghost-exorcising master had come to Wangshu Inn. Since the food wouldn't be ready anytime soon, he might as well join in the fun.

Chapter 101 The Exorcist Master

"Sister Philgoldette, is this the master you were talking about? This person, he's quite something, with his unique appearance."

How would you describe this person's face? It's like a freshly baked potato that accidentally fell to the ground, already dented, and then someone stepped on it. It's pretty abstract.

Su Bai initially thought it was a master from an exorcising family like Chong Yun performing the exorcism, but he never expected it to be such a slovenly and incredibly ugly fellow. Su Bai found the man repulsive, and Ke Li, standing next to him, had her eyes covered by Ying, who was worried that Ke Li would have nightmares if she saw this man.

As for Paimon and Mona, they had already turned away from the exorcist. They were looking forward to eating more delicious food later and didn't want to lose their appetite because of this person.

Phil Gaudette frowned, feeling a little embarrassed. This exorcist had initially been wearing a mask, but she hadn't expected his face to be so ugly. Did he intend to scare the ghosts to death with that face?

Now, this exorcist was in a panic. He didn't know anything about exorcism; he just wanted to hide from the Thousand Rock Army searching for him and fill his stomach. He didn't expect that someone would come before he had even eaten a few bites of the food in the kitchen.

"Ahem, if you have nothing else to do, you may leave. I am worried that I might hurt you."

“Master, there’s no need to worry about us. This is Su Bai, a renowned immortal from Liyue. I believe that with Su Bai here, there will be no danger. Please continue, Master.”

The exorcist coughed twice in a pretentious manner, trying to lure Su Bai and the others out of the kitchen. But who was Philgoldet? She was Ningguang's subordinate. There were only two kinds of people who worked under Ningguang.

One type is the brainless person who does whatever Ningguang says. Ningguang trusts this type of person. For example, if Yidou were to work under Ningguang, she would be overjoyed. He is quite strong, brainless, and does whatever she is told. He is simply the ideal henchman in Ningguang's mind.

The second type is people who are much smarter than the average person. These people are indispensable backbones in Ningguang's forces, and Phil Gaudette, as Ningguang's intelligence officer, clearly belongs to the latter.

Phil Gaudette had already figured it out; the exorcist's face had most likely been deliberately made so ugly. Based on her experience, such people were either fugitives or trying to escape their enemies. So she deliberately brought up Su Bai to make the exorcist nervous. Once a person is nervous, they are more likely to give themselves away.

At the same time, Philgoldet silently mouthed "free meal" to Su Bai. Su Bai nodded slightly, understanding the implication. When the exorcist looked at him, Su Bai flicked his three tails and struck an arrogant pose like an immortal.

Don't let Su Bai's usual carefree and approachable demeanor fool you; his imitation of Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhen Jun's temperament is so convincing that you can't detect a single flaw. If Ying He didn't know Su Bai well, she would have really thought that Su Bai was always like this.

The exorcist was also intimidated by Su Bai's aura. Helpless, he took a fire poker next to the stove and used it as a wooden sword, dancing a strange dance under Phil Goddette's suspicious gaze.

Watching this strange dance, Ying suddenly thought of the excited dances of some barbarians after hunting their prey in other worlds. However, even those barbarian dances were more beautiful than this master's. At least the barbarian dances had some patterns, while this master was obviously just twisting around randomly.

As the exorcist's forehead became increasingly drenched in sweat, Phil Gaudette's forehead also showed more and more angry marks. Good grief, did he really think she was easy to fool? It wasn't like she hadn't seen that little guy named Chongyun from the exorcism family perform exorcisms before. He should have been using the method of drawing talismans, but instead he was dancing around.

When Su Bai was halfway through the movie, he used his immortal power to create an illusion to cover his eyes. The damage that guy had just caused to his eyes would require him to look at beautiful women for a long time before it could be healed.

"Alright, the ghost here has been exorcised, so I'll be taking my leave now. Boss, and this immortal, please enjoy your meal and drinks."

谷隍

The exorcist wiped the sweat from his forehead, as if he had exerted a great deal of effort. However, Su Bai, who was empowered by immortal energy, could clearly sense that ever since the exorcist started dancing, the originally calm ghost had actually started dancing along with the master, and was even dancing quite happily.

What is this? A ghost dancing excitedly? Su Bai shook his head slightly at Phil Goddette, who immediately stopped the exorcism master.

“Master, now that you have dispelled the ghost, the agreed-upon reward will naturally be given to you, after all, this is our contract.”

"Please rest here for a while, Master. I will go and fetch your payment."

After saying that, Phil Gaudette swayed her hips and walked slowly toward the counter. Ying and the others left with her, leaving Su Bai blocking the stairs in the huge kitchen.

After a long time, the exorcist who had not seen Philgoldet began to have doubts and wondered if he had been seen through.

The more the exorcist thought about it, the more he felt he had been exposed. After all, the person in front of him was an immortal, and the immortal's wonder was ingrained in the bones of the people of Liyue. The exorcist thought to himself, "Oh no!" several times.

"Um, sir, I suddenly have a sudden urge to urinate. I wonder if you could allow me to go to the restroom?"

The exorcist master wore a fawning smile, but Su Bai completely ignored him. Seeing that Su Bai didn't answer, the exorcist master chuckled a few times and then fell silent again.

A few minutes later, Phil Gaudette arrived in the kitchen with several members of the Thousand Rock Army. The exorcist's expression immediately turned ugly upon seeing the Thousand Rock Army, but he quickly returned to normal, forcing a smile and speaking in a teasing tone.

"What does Mr. Phil Gaudette mean by this? If you don't want to pay, you don't have to call Qianyan Army here, do you?"

"Hehe, you jest. To deal with a murderous treasure-hunting gang member like you, would I have to call the Thousand Rock Army or have your people come to my Wangshu Inn to pick you up if I didn't call your men?"

Upon hearing this, the exorcist picked up a cleaver from the cutting board, ready to fight the Qianyan soldiers. However, before he could even pick up the cleaver, a bolt of lightning struck him on the head, causing him to fall to the ground. The Qianyan soldiers immediately seized the opportunity to subdue him.

"You dare to resist? That's an even bigger crime. Take him away."

"Hahaha, an additional charge? I'm already a death sentence, why would I be afraid of an additional charge? Don't give me a chance, or I'll kill you all!"

Before the demon-exorcising master's ferocious expression could fade, Su Bai used lightning to knock him unconscious. Threatening his friend in front of this immortal was truly courting death.

"With the Immortal Invocation Ceremony approaching, all sorts of demons and monsters have emerged. It seems Keqing will have a headache lately."

Chapter 102 The Immortal Conference

"Su Bai, we should go. Why are you still upstairs?"

Paimon flew over to Su Bai's side and tugged at Su Bai's clothes. Only then did Su Bai turn his gaze away from the distance. With the Immortal Invocation Ceremony approaching, Xiao's workload had increased dramatically in order to ensure the safety of Liyue. For an entire afternoon, Xiao hadn't returned to Wangshu Inn even once.

"I wonder where Boss Xiao is now. Is he perhaps cleaning up monsters in some secret realm?"

"Then this jade pendant can only be given to Boss Xiao by Philgott. However, Philgott seems to be very afraid of Boss Xiao, which is really difficult for her."

Su Bai toyed with the jade pendant he had specially made for Xiao. It was engraved with a powerful illusion. Once Xiao was affected by karma and lost his mind, the illusion on the jade pendant would be triggered to help Xiao regain his sanity. This kind of illusion, which originally only existed in theory, was created by Su Bai by taking advantage of the fact that his authority was an illusion.

"Why is it that my powerful authority has no effect on Shen He? It's really a headache."

Meanwhile, on Mount Oozang, far removed from the secular world, Xiao and the other immortals had been waiting for the Rock King for a long time. Even though the Rock King said he would arrive at Mount Oozang in the afternoon, the immortals still rushed over early in the morning.

"Ah Ping, weren't you getting quite close to the Emperor a few days ago? Do you know why the Emperor summoned us this time?"

"Liu Yun, believe me, you don't want to know about this. I'm worried that you might think of something bad."

A hint of helplessness flashed across Granny Ping's kind face. It seemed that only the Emperor could suppress that little tyrant. The matter that the immortals were summoned to discuss was probably related to that little tyrant.

Xiao glanced curiously at Granny Ping. How could Granny Ping be so annoyed yet helpless, and how could it make True Lord Liuyun think of bad things? Could it be that another young immortal has emerged in Liyue? Xiao clearly remembered that when Su Bai was a child, he plucked the feathers of True Lord Liuyun to make a goose feather pen.

“Ah Ping, when did you become so carefree? What is there that I can’t accept? Even if you told me that Xiao Bai has a child, I can still wish him well.”

The impatient True Lord of the Moon-Cut Sun was very displeased with Granny Ping's riddle-like behavior. As an immortal, he had fought against so many demons during the Demon God War without fear, so how could he be frightened by Granny Ping's words now?

"What? Su Bai has a child? How come he never told me?"

"Morax, what do you think I should give him to show that I'm his boss?"

"How dare you! Who is it that dares to address the Emperor by his name?"

The childish female voice reached the ears of the True Lord of the Moon-Cut Sun, and the immortal was immediately enraged. Although the voice sounded like a child's, it was not a reason to be rude to the Emperor.

"Have the mortals' respect for the Emperor become so weak? Even a child dares to speak so recklessly; it seems he needs to be punished."

Before Granny Ping could stop him, the hot-tempered True Lord Xiaoyue Zhuyang had already blurted out his words. Sensing the silence on the mountain path, True Lord Xiaoyue Zhuyang proudly raised his head. He had once again defended the honor of the Emperor. Granny Ping silently moved a few steps away from True Lord Xiaoyue Zhuyang, not wanting her to get splattered with blood.

"Respect? Morax, I ask you, do I respect you enough?"

Accompanied by a child's voice, the Rock King Emperor, respected by all the immortals, appeared before everyone carrying a little girl with dragon horns on his back. This little girl was not only being carried on the Emperor's back, but she was also brazenly pulling on the Emperor's hair, seemingly venting her dissatisfaction.

However, the Rock King Emperor, who was carrying the little girl on his back, showed no signs of anger. He even had a doting smile on his face, which completely stunned all the immortals except for Granny Ping.

谷煲

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun even sprayed the tea in her mouth all over the feathers of Li Shui Die Shan Zhenjun. A question lingered in her mind: When did the Rock King Emperor have a child? Could there really be a woman in the world who could make this rock-solid Emperor see the light?

"Look, look, what are you looking at? Which bastard just said he wanted to punish me? Step forward, let's have a go."

The deer-like mouth of the True Lord of Shaving the Moon and Building the Sun twitched. What the hell was going on? If he had known that the little girl who said this was the Emperor's daughter, he would not only not have scolded her, but he would have applauded her.

At this moment, Xiao was also a bit at a loss. Although the Emperor had said that Su Bai should not know his identity, when Su Bai chatted with him and mentioned the name Zhongli, Xiao would still subconsciously remember what Su Bai said about the Emperor.

Moreover, although he was quite old as an immortal, he was still very sharp. He clearly remembered hearing Su Bai say that there were many matchmakers in Liyue Harbor introducing potential partners to Zhongli, but Zhongli had always been uninterested.

Didn't he say he wasn't interested? How come his daughter is so grown up now? So Su Bai was just fooling this old man who's a thousand years old? Xiao patted his pockets and found that he didn't have any presentable gifts. He wondered if the Emperor's daughter was interested in the Hilichurl thugs' axes. He had seen a Hilichurl camp on the way.

"Hey little one, what's your name? This is a little gift from your uncle."

To make up for his mistake, Lord Xiaoyue Zhuyang took out a piece of ore with an excellent appearance and prepared to give it to the little princess of Liyue.

"Little kid? You're calling me a little kid?"

"Xiaoyue, we haven't seen each other for so long, you don't even recognize me?"

The little girl with dragon horns pointed to herself. The True Lord of the Moon-Cut Sun looked at the little girl carefully. Why did those dragon horns look so familiar to him?

"Have you forgotten the time you poked my butt with those antlers on your head? Looks like I need to use my physical memory to help you remember."

"You are...you are the Dragon King Ruoduo!"

The pupils of the True Lord of the Moon-Cut Yang contracted. Back when the Emperor fought against the Dragon King Ruo Tuo, he had indeed ambushed the Dragon King Ruo Tuo. Ruo Tuo laughed and jumped down from behind Zhong Li. His small hands were filled with terrifying rock element.

Having followed the Emperor for a thousand years, the True Lord of the Moon-Cleaving Sun, who was extremely sensitive to the rock element, felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the rock element in Ruo Tuo's hand. At the same time, he began to regret his actions. If he had known that Ruo Tuo Dragon King would recover one day, he would not have ambushed Ruo Tuo Dragon King's buttocks.

"Dragon King, would you believe me if I said that it was all a misunderstanding back then?"

"Heh, Xiaoyue, if I said I believed you, would you believe me?"

"I believe."

"Even if you believe it, you're still going to get a beating today. And you guys, don't think I'll forget how you ganged up on me just because you didn't say anything. I can't beat Morax, but I can beat you guys."

"Today, I'm going to settle accounts with you one by one."
