Now that so much time has passed, as an elder, the old man feels that he should still say a few words of concern.

"Not bad. I have already obtained the consent of the True Lord. The engagement banquet will be held soon. I hope Brother Zhongli will show his favor. Don't worry, I won't accept your gift money. We are just like each other."

Su Che's tone was a little teasing, which made the old man shake his head and laugh.

"It's too polite to say that you're doing me a favor. As someone who has a relationship with me, I should personally visit your engagement party and give you a generous gift."

Zhongli's tone was calm and serious.

The old man said so and also said he would give him a big gift.

Su Che was actually looking forward to it.

After all, this was the legendary Rock Prince, and even he called it a "great gift". Could it be some extremely powerful immortal magic weapon? Or a divine eye that matched him?

Although he already has considerable strength, with the enhanced Emperor Armor, he can fight even against the devil.

But this did not stop him from being very curious about things like the Eye of God. Not to mention that it could allow ordinary people to have the power to control elements, it also had its own storage space. He wanted to study the principle of the latter.

"Then I'll wait and see."

Just as he was about to chat with Zhongli for a few more words, a clear female voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Well, Zhongli, I finally caught you!" Zhongli: "..."

The old man seemed a little helpless: "Why do you say that, Master? I don't seem to be avoiding you on purpose..."

Su Che looked over subconsciously, and sure enough, a girl with a pair of beautiful plum blossom eyes was jumping towards him. When she saw him, she greeted him with a smile.

"Hey, little brother, it's you again, long time no see~"

After the last auction, it was Su Che who took Keqing to deliver the goods to the buyer, so they met once.

But Su Che was a little surprised that Hu Tao still remembered him after so much time.

"I didn't expect that Master Hu still remembered me. I'm really flattered." He also greeted him with a smile.

"Hehe, after all, there are many people who can be compared with Zhongli in terms of looks."

Walnut crossed his arms and stared at a guest beside him. "Not to mention that you are younger than him. He is already an old man."

Zhongli: "..."

First of all, I didn't mess with any of you.

The old man sighed and asked again: "Master, what exactly are you here for?"

"I did run into some minor troubles, but it's okay, I can handle it."

Hu Tao shook his head, suddenly coughed lightly, and said seriously: "Of course... If you are willing to share my worries, I can give you a chance..."

"Master, please go."

Zhongli blew a sip of tea and said calmly: "Just pretend I didn't say anything just now."

"You said you were willing? I knew Zhongli would never let this hall master down."

Hu Tao chuckled and said seriously, "Then I'll be frank. Recently, the business of Wangsheng Hall has not improved. Even though I have been running around for it, there is still not much effect. So, I was thinking, maybe it would be better to try someone else?"

“Zhongli, I heard that you seem to be a big V in your circle of friends with 4,000 fans. It would be a shame to waste your popularity like this, so... do you understand what I mean?”

Different from the master of my own hall.

Zhongli has a good reputation. Because of his handsome appearance, erudition, and unique style of doing things, he is well-known throughout Liyue.

After launching the Moments, he would always share some common knowledge in his updates, or post his own evaluation of a certain antique. Since he could learn a lot of useless knowledge from them, eventually, quite a few people followed him.

Four thousand fans may not sound like a lot, but in today's Liyue, he is already considered a moderately famous internet celebrity.

Of course, he can't compare with top stars like Mr. Yun, but he is more than capable of surpassing his own hall master.

Hu Tao has been carefully operating the official account of Wangshengtang for such a long time, but it now has less than 300 followers, barely a fraction of Zhongli's.

When the hall master heard the news, he naturally felt unbalanced.

She worked so hard with publicity and discounts to attract so many fans. Why is Zhongli so much better than her?

If it was just a few hundred more, it would be fine... but the difference is ten times! Who wouldn't be shocked?

After all, she, Master Hu, is a beautiful, intelligent young lady in her prime. Is she not as good as an old man who just eats and waits to die all day long?

In short, I was very angry.

The angry Master Hu decided to requisition his account to advertise for Wangsheng Hall.

The plan to open a branch of Wangshengtang in Baibao Pavilion has failed.

However, Zhongli still has 4,000 living fans. Even if only one-tenth of them place an order in the end, it will still be a huge business.

Mr. Zhong was very distressed.

He sighed and said, "It's not that I don't want to help, but most of the people who follow me are collectors and businessmen who are interested in antiques and famous paintings. They are not very old, and at least for the time being, they don't need the services you recommend..."

"Hey, let's prepare for a rainy day~"

Hu Tao waved her hand and said nonchalantly, "It will be useful sooner or later anyway, so why not prepare it early so that you don't have to rush around in the future, right?"

Zhongli: "..."

This is what makes sense, but will you really not get beaten if you say something like this?

Thanks to his profession, Hu Tao doesn't care much about life and death.

When people come to this world, sooner or later they will die. Just as my grandfather said, "We are born when we are alive and die when we are dead. Follow your heart and do your best." That's enough.

There is really no need to worry or be extremely afraid about this, as if death is something so difficult to accept.

But ordinary people are naturally not as open-minded as her. What Hu Tao thinks is very normal becomes a symbol of her eccentricity in the eyes of others.

Many people come to Wangshengtang to handle funeral services for their relatives and friends, but clients who have already booked funeral services for themselves before they die are rare.

After all, what's the difference between this and wishing yourself an early death? It's bound to make people feel unlucky.

The hall master is indifferent to life and death, but not everyone can reach her level, so it is natural that conflicts will arise between the two.

Buy one stele and get half a stele free, family of three meal package, four generations living together meal package... In the eyes of the hall master, these are all discounts.

But for ordinary people, you are simply cursing my household registration book!

Not reporting your store is already good enough, why place an order? It's not like you have money to spend.

Zhongli had advised Hu Tao to be more tactful and not to be so impetuous all the time.

Unfortunately, the hall master was unmoved. Perhaps it was because she had been traveling between the Yin and Yang worlds for many years and had seen many living and dead people. It was difficult for her to understand normal people's taboos about death.

In her opinion, doing nothing is even more terrible than death. The essence of life is to have fun (bushi)

"Anyway, just tell me whether you will help or not!"

Hu Tao put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "You are so reluctant to make excuses for such a small matter, Zhongli, I have misjudged you!"

Chapter 103: Zhongli is a capable person, Manye is shocked, and the new goal is to dominate Inazuma

It turns out that food chains exist in every world.

What about the oldest ruler? What about the Rock King?

In front of the lovely Master Hu, can't he just forgive her like a tired old father?

"I understand. I'll do it."

The old man nodded silently and finally gave in.

"That's pretty good. This hall master knows that Zhongli is a capable person and can get along with others!"

Hu Tao smiled, patted his shoulder vigorously, and said proudly: "Don't worry, I will not treat my people unfairly. How about giving you 20% commission for every business you make?"

Twenty percent is not a small number.

After all, as the head of the Wangsheng Hall, she also has to pay salaries to her attendants and support a large family. How can she do without money?

Zhongli smiled helplessly: "Thank you very much for your kindness, Hall Master."

"You're welcome. After all, this hall master is such a wonderful woman who combines wisdom, beauty and generosity!"

Hu Tao was in high spirits and patted his chest, not showing any modesty at all.

Then she remembered that there seemed to be a boy next to her who she was not particularly familiar with. Her attitude was somewhat in danger of exposing her true nature, so she coughed lightly and pretended to be a lady:

"I'm sorry to make you laugh, Brother Su."

Su Che smiled and shook his head: "Master Hu is lively and generous, really cute."

Hu Tao gave a thumbs up seriously: "Young man, you have good eyesight!"

Then the two looked at each other and laughed together.

Zhongli on the side shook his head and suddenly felt that these two people seemed to be a good match in every sense.

but……

Thinking of Ganyu who had already got there first, he felt a little regretful.

What a pity, really.

……

Harbor, Southern Cross Fleet.

"Big sister, I'll leave first."

After the ship docked, the young ronin, dressed in Japanese-style clothing, said goodbye to Beidou and walked into Liyue Harbor alone.

Wan Ye's purpose was simple. He went into the city just to repair his sword.

As a former noble young master, his ancestors were famous swordsmiths, and the Fengyuan family was one of the five generations of thunder and lightning.

Unfortunately, when the family business was passed to Wan Ye, it had already fallen into decline. Even the ancestral home was used to pay off debts. He himself was wanted all year round because of the Eye Hunting Order. Fortunately, he was taken in by the big sister Beidou and was able to have a place to stay.

It's funny to say.

The weapon used by the young master of a knife-making family is not a magical weapon, but a very common tiger fish knife.

Yes, that's right, it's the kind of iron knife used to cut fish. It's very sharp, but it's just a very common item.

Manye is not so particular about weapons and just uses whatever comes handy.

But the quality of the tiger fish knife is there after all. After years of fighting, it has already been scarred and dilapidated.

After all, this is the sword he has used for a long time and he has developed feelings for it, so Wan Ye does not want to give it up easily. He plans to come to Liyue Harbor to see in person to see if there is a blacksmith who can repair the sword.

He seldom went into the city, and spent most of his time on the boat or practicing in the wild.

After asking around for a long time, I finally found out that there seemed to be a shop called "Hanfeng Ironware" nearby. The owner, Lao Zhang, was an expert at blacksmithing and was trustworthy.

Hanfeng Ironware is located at Chihuyan, next to the Adventurer's Guild. It should be very conspicuous.

Unfortunately, after searching for a long time, Wan Ye found that he had lost his way without knowing when.

As a last resort, he looked around and found a few rickshaws parked on the roadside.

"Where are you going, sir? I've lived here for more than 40 years. I can find any place no matter how remote it is. I'm sure I'll be able to find it quickly!"

A few drivers who were taking a break and chatting obviously noticed Wan Ye's embarrassment and came up to him enthusiastically to solicit customers.

He randomly picked a rickshaw and sat on it before saying:

"Master, please go to Hanfeng Ironware."

"Okay, sit tight!"

The driver shouted, pushed hard with his feet, pulled the cart, and ran in a certain direction.

About a quarter of an hour later, the driver finally stopped, wiped his sweat with the towel hanging around his neck, and said with a simple smile:

"Chenghui Shimala, sir, would you like to pay in cash or by scanning the QR code with your mobile phone?"

"Scan...the code?"

Online payment has become increasingly popular in Liyue today. Many people have become accustomed to the convenience of scanning codes and no longer like to carry cash when they go out.

But Wan Ye was on the boat most of the time, and although he knew about Alipay, he had never used it. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised at this moment.

"Can I pay with my cell phone?"

"It seems you haven't been to Liyue for a long time, right?"
