Seeker of Teyvat

Although he is now working under Pantalone, it is not a good job, but compared to the doctor's indifference, Pantalone, a capitalist, at least knows the value of labor force.

Determined to transfer the subsequent work to Tongwen Academy, the Fool Intelligence Officer nodded to Pantalone: ​​"Please rest assured, Mr. [Rich Man], I will complete the infiltration of Tongwen Academy as soon as possible and establish our own mouthpiece."

Pantalone nodded: "That's good. Also, be careful of the lady from the General Affairs Department. Her eyes are always staring at us."

Pantalone is talking about Yelan. As Ningguang's best partner, the war between Yelan and Pantalone has never ended since Pantalone became the person in charge in Liyue.

No, it should be said that since Ye Lan started doing intelligence work, she has been fighting people like Pantalone.

"Don't worry, as long as the situation doesn't happen last time, the people from the General Affairs Department will never be able to defeat us." The intelligence officer of the Fools said confidently.

Pantalone nodded slightly: "That's good. As for the situation last time... Hehe, don't worry, no one will break the rules of the game again."

During the last Meng Liyue cooperation banquet, Wang Daoyi took action and helped Ye Lan destroy a secret warehouse of the Fools. The Fools suffered heavy losses that time.

Not only was a large amount of precious materials lost, but a secret list was also lost, and a large number of cooperation partners excavated in Liyue were lost.

It can be said that all the work of the Fools Intelligence Department in the past year has been lost.

This is still a direct loss, and the indirect losses are countless.

But now, Pantalone knew that Wang Daoyi had been warned by the Ice Queen, so he would naturally promise his subordinates that such a situation would not happen again.

"However, you should stop going to Huyan. If others don't take action, you will offend them yourself." Finally, Pantalone gave a warning.

The intelligence officer of the Fools nodded repeatedly: "Of course, of course. After that one came back, except for a very small number of normal diplomats, the rest of the Fools have already retreated from Tiger Rock."

Regarding Wang Daoyi, the current attitude of the Fools is very strange.

Some of the fools were left by the young master. Their attitude towards Wang Daoyi was awe-inspiring with a hint of closeness, because when the young master was the envoy of Zhihuang, Wang Daoyi and the young master did get closer. Wang Daoyi, the young master, and Zhongli The three of them often ate and listened to plays together, which led to many fools left behind by the young master. They even thought Wang Daoyi was an ally.

Among the fools left by the doctor, many have a close and respectful attitude towards Wang Daoyi. They have been ordered by the doctor to tell Wang Daoyi whatever he wants to ask. There is no need to hide it at all, so in this part In the eyes of all fools, although Wang Daoyi is not one of his own on the surface, he is at least half of his own on the inside.

The last group, which is currently the largest group of fools in Liyue, is the group of fools led by [Rich Man] Pantalone. Their attitude towards Wang Daoyi is that of disgust and a wide berth.

The disgust is because they clearly know that Wang Daoyi is an enemy, and they keep a distance because this enemy is too strong and cannot be defeated at all, so they can only keep a distance.

So when Wang Daoyi showed up at Chihuyan, the Fatui recalled all the intelligence personnel scattered at Chihuyan, leaving only normal diplomatic envoys as basic intelligence sources.

They were really afraid that Wang Dao would wipe them all out.

After all, being dealt with for spying on a great being wasn't considered a game-breaker.

"That's good. As for that guy, don't hang around him too much. Just pretend he doesn't exist. OK, go back to work. Also, how is the progress with Yusupov?"

"The progress is very good. The man named Zhiyi is very obedient. Moreover, he poisoned his teacher in front of us. From now on, he can only listen to us obediently."

"That's good. Let's take the position of Tianshu first, and then control the seven stars of Liyue little by little. Ha, Morax, since you can't see me, I will take away your precious Liyue first. In this way, you can always see me."

Thinking of the god who would rather retire and walk his bird or go shopping than even look at him, the coldness in Pantalone's eyes became more intense.

The Fatui intelligence officer shuddered and felt that he had to escape.

"Then... Sir, I will go down and do my work now."

Pantalone suppressed the coldness in his eyes and looked at him expressionlessly: "Well, go down and bring me good news as soon as possible."

"Yes, my lord."

……

Hall of Rebirth,

Yan Fei and Jiu Qi Shinobu also ended their conversation with Kurumi.

"So, the old dean's funeral will be held in seven days?"

Hu Tao nodded. "Yes, although the normal process of passing away is small coffin, announcement of the death, going to the funeral, staying at the coffin, keeping vigil, large coffin, and finally the funeral and burial, as well as the passing away ceremony."

"But the old dean no longer has any family members, so there is no need to report the death or attend the funeral, so the two most time-consuming steps can be skipped. Now the small coffin has been completed and the body is being kept. Several gentlemen in the academy are also willing to keep vigil for the old dean, so the old dean will be officially buried and the passing away ceremony will be held seven days later."

Walnut explained a few things to Yan Fei and Jiu Qi Ren.

Jiuqi Shinobu didn't know much about Liyue's funeral customs, so he didn't say anything. Instead, he stood aside and listened to the conversation between Yan Fei and Hu Tao.

After hearing what Hu Tao said, Yan Fei suddenly felt a little strange.

"Is there a teacher from the academy coming to keep vigil for the old dean?"

Keeping vigil is usually done by family members or descendants, and outsiders rarely get involved.

Hu Tao nodded carelessly: "The old dean has no relatives, so the gentlemen of the academy said that they are the old dean's last relatives, so it is only natural for them to keep vigil for the old dean."

"Is that so..." Yan Fei murmured, but did not continue to ask. Instead, she nodded to Hu Tao, "Okay, I understand. The old dean is our elder, and I am well taken care of. Now, I will trouble you, Master Hu."

"Hey, don't bother, don't bother. Helping people rest in peace and sending them to the afterlife is the responsibility of our Wangsheng Hall. Besides, Daoyi and the gentlemen of the academy have said that if you have any difficulties, just go to them and they will solve them. Don't worry, I will make sure that the old dean passes away peacefully."

Everyone was still a little uncomfortable with Master Hu's carelessness in matters of life and death.

But Yan Fei and Jiuqi Shinobu both caught a name - Daoyi.

Yan Fei couldn't help but ask, "Daoyi has been here too?"

"Ah? Well, Daoyi came here three days ago." Hall Master Hu was careless and had no intention of keeping it secret.

In Hu Tao's opinion, this passing away was originally entrusted by the old dean to Wang Daoyi to be handed over to the Hall of Rebirth.

Whether it was the teachers of the academy, Yan Fei and Jiu Qi Shinobu, or anyone else,

Wang Daoyi was the old dean’s last client and the one who placed the order for this passing away.

"Three days ago?" Yan Fei's eyes were filled with more doubts.

She was a little confused. The old dean just left today, but why Wang Daoyi came to place an order three days ago.

However, she did not suspect that Wang Daoyi had done anything bad. Yan Fei just guessed that there might be some secret communication between the old dean and Wang Daoyi.

Jiuqi Shinobu had the same doubts as Yan Fei, but she did not show it. Instead, she silently deduced and came to a similar guess as Yan Fei. There might be some secrets between Wang Daoyi and the old dean.

After chatting with Hu Tao for a while about the old dean's affairs after his death, Yan Fei and Jiu Qi Shinobu said goodbye.

After the two girls left,

Walnut turned and looked towards a corner of the Hall of Rebirth, showing a hint of vigilance:

"I say, sister from the General Affairs Department, I hope that my Wangsheng Hall has done nothing to offend you. How many times have you come to investigate me? Wangsheng Hall is Wangsheng Hall. We are not interested in the affairs of the Seven Stars of Liyue, nor do we want the Seven Stars of Liyue to affect the work of Wangsheng Hall."

A blue light flickered, and Ye Lan appeared where Hu Tao was looking.

"Formation?" Ye Lan asked curiously.

She had absolute confidence in her concealment skills, but Kurumi could see through her hiding at a glance, which was obviously not a normal situation.

"Of course. Didn't Ningguang give you any information? I don't know how many rune formations have been engraved in the Wangsheng Hall by successive hall masters. This is to prevent anyone from sneaking in here and doing something small." Hu Tao nodded and explained Ye Lan's question.

Wangsheng Hall was originally a doctor who eliminated plague disasters on the land of Liyue, and later evolved into an organization that guards the balance of the boundary between life and death.

Inside the Hall of Rebirth, the relics of the past hall masters are hidden. These things are more or less dangerous. For example, the Homa Staff is the magic weapon of the past hall masters.

There are actually quite a few dangerous items like the Homa Staff inside the Hall of Rebirth.

Therefore, there are formations everywhere in the Wangsheng Hall. Not to mention Ye Lan, even if Xiao comes, Hu Tao can sense it.

Perhaps this is why Zhongli chose Wangsheng Hall as his retirement place.

Because the Hall of Rebirth is mysterious enough, even if a young guest who knows everything from ancient times to the present appears in the Hall of Rebirth, it will seem normal.

After answering Ye Lan's questions, Hu Tao's plum blossom eyes began to look dangerous.

She clenched her right hand, and a fiery cane appeared in her hand: "Sister from the General Affairs Department, if you can't give me an explanation, even if you sneaked into the Hall of Rebirth, even if you are from the General Affairs Department, I will have to teach you a lesson."

Holding the Homa Staff, Hu Tao looked at Ye Lan, and a chill gradually appeared in his eyes.

Walnut welcomes everyone to come to Wangshengtang for business consultation, but secret infiltration like this is absolutely not allowed!

Although she knew that Ye Lan was from the General Affairs Department and that she served Ning Guang, Hu Tao still showed hostility towards Ye Lan.

After all, although Wangsheng Hall obeyed Qixing's management on the surface, and Hu Tao was even confined by Ningguang, it did not touch the bottom line.

And this is the bottom line for peeking into the secrets of the Hall of Rebirth.

Seeing Hu Tao about to take action, Ye Lan waved her hands repeatedly: "Stop, I came here to talk to you about something important. I hid my body because there were outsiders here just now. It was not intentional."

In fact, Ye Lan was not afraid of Hu Tao in terms of martial arts, but she did want to test the bottom line of Wangsheng Hall, but she was not ready to really break off relations with Wangsheng Hall.

As one of the oldest inheritances in Liyue, it is impossible for Qixing to say that he does not want to master the Wangsheng Hall.

Just think about it, in order to make a heirloom magic weapon for Wang Daoyi, how much power did Qixing use?

In the Hall of Rebirth, Hu Tao alone was holding something blatantly in his hand. It can be imagined that there is a big secret in the Hall of Rebirth.

Of course, as for the heirloom, Ye Lan actually has one in her hands, but that is her own opportunity.

"Hmm? Tell me what you want to talk to me about. The Hall of Rebirth is just the Hall of Rebirth. If it's something big, I can't help you." Hu Tao looked at Ye Lan and said, but the staff of Homa in his hand was still flashing with a faint red light, which was the glow of the unruly fire in this heirloom staff.

"I came here for the gentlemen of the academy." Ye Lan said.

Hu Tao was a little unconvinced: "Oh~ They are keeping vigil for the old dean. If you don't have anything important to do, I can't let you go in and disturb them."

Ye Lan waved her hands and explained to Hu Tao: "No, I don't need to look for them, I'm here to look for you. I hope you can give me a list of them."

"Huh? Is the General Affairs Department going to investigate even who will be keeping vigil for the old dean?" Hu Tao was curious.

"No, it's about the selection of the next dean of the academy. I'm just collecting all kinds of different information."

"So that's how it is." Hu Tao nodded and put away the Homa staff in her hand. She originally wanted to warn the people from the General Affairs Department not to keep staring at the Hall of Rebirth, but she didn't really want to fight.

"Okay, since it's about the academy, then please wait a moment. I'll prepare some information for you. Please wait here and don't walk around." Hu Tao reminded again.

"Don't worry." Ye Lan nodded.

Hu Tao left, leaving Ye Lan alone here.

I looked at the tightly closed door of the Hall of Rebirth.

Ye Lan sighed slightly in her heart: "It seems that the temptation to the Wangsheng Hall should be reduced for the time being. This Hall Master Hu looks unreliable, but he is actually very careful and not as unreliable as he appears to be."

"And it seems that Wangsheng Hall really has a big secret. And that guest official Zhongli, we have been investigating for such a long time, but we still can't find out his origins. It's really mysterious."

"Forget it, let's check it later. For now, let's solve the problem of selecting the dean of the academy first. Besides, Uncle Tian won't be able to delay for much longer. The selection of Tianshu Star is probably even more difficult."

Leaning against the doorpost of the Hall of Rebirth, Ye Lan was thinking about things and found that he had more and more things to do.

Chapter 407 Tianshu Star

When Yelan was thinking,

Hu Tao also came out from the Hall of Rebirth, holding a stack of documents in her hand, and walked to Ye Lan.

"Here you go, these are the things you want. See if they are right. If there is no problem, then leave quickly. There are people keeping vigil, and it is not convenient for the Rebirth Hall to receive outsiders."

Hu Tao handed the things to Ye Lan, and then began to drive people away 'secretly'.

Seemingly not understanding the meaning of Hu Tao's words, Ye Lan slowly opened the document Hu Tao gave her.

Sure enough, there was a list of gentlemen who kept vigil for the old dean.

Also, some of the actions of these people during the wake.

This did not make Ye Lan expect that the information Hu Tao gave him would be so sufficient, so Ye Lan unexpectedly glanced at Hu Tao.

Sensing Ye Lan's gaze, Hu Tao curled her lips and said, "As the head of the Wangsheng Hall, I have seen all kinds of human hearts. In the face of death, human hearts are the most real. Those gentlemen have no relationship with the old dean, but they are still willing to keep vigil for the old dean and say that they are the old dean's family... Maybe there are really noble people among them, but there must be some treacherous people among them."

As he said that, Hutao rolled his eyes at Ye Lan: "The Hall of Purity has been passed down for thousands of years, and the importance of the academy is known to the Hall of Purity as well as Qixing. Therefore, as soon as they entered the Hall of Purity to keep a vigil, I sent someone to watch."

Ye Lan nodded slightly, and then suddenly asked Hu Tao: "So, Hall Master Hu, do you think any of these people are suspicious?"

Originally, it was impossible for Ye Lan to ask such a question to Hu Tao.

However, Hu Tao gave her more surprises today, so Ye Lan asked this question.

Hu Tao pondered for a while, then pointed to a few names on the document.

Ye Lan took a look and showed a little surprise on her face: "Master Hu actually suspected them? But according to the records, aren't these the most stable and best people who guarded the body?"

The list that Hu Tao gave her made it clear that these people worked conscientiously during the wake and had no shortcomings, while the others were more or less distracted or disrespectful.

Hu Tao nodded: "As the saying goes, those who achieve great things must bear their weight. No matter what the purpose of these people is, whether it is good or bad, but if they want to add points to themselves by keeping a wake for the old dean, then they must do it here. Therefore, people who do everything perfectly are either the best people or the people with the most problems, while other people can be distracted even at wake-up calls, or even look disrespectful. This is People like this are at most bad or stupid, so they are not much of a threat."

After saying that, Hu Tao curled her lips and said, "Besides, didn't you see it yourself? You're still testing me in this way. It's really boring. Go away now. If you sneak in again next time, I won't be polite."

Hutao started chasing people away,

Ye Lan smiled, not caring about Hu Tao's tone, and cupped her hands towards Hu Tao: "Thank you, Hall Master Hu, for your help. I'll leave now."
