"Let her sleep here, I'll go next door to help you make the bed." Xing stood up slowly and said to Ying.

"Well, okay..." Ying nodded, but her eyes looked at Xing with a strange look.

Paimon happened to be asleep, so they made the bed first and then could do something else.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Oh?" Ningguang raised her head with some confusion and looked at the maid in front of her.

"Has the identity of the body been investigated?"

"From the looks of her clothes, she seems to be the daughter of Lord De'an of Minghua Commercial Bank." The maid held a stack of documents and answered respectfully with her head lowered, "We have sent someone to ask Lord De'an to identify the body."

"I think it was probably because Lord De'an opposed her marriage to that poor teacher that she was so upset that she committed suicide."

“Is that so… Come and report to me if you have any news.” Ningguang nodded and threw the document she was working on aside.

She didn't really care about this matter, or rather, if she had to solve even such a thing personally, then she would have too much work to do.

That is to say, she would only ask this question because the water pollution problem in Feiyunpo is quite serious.

As for whether Lord De'an's daughter committed suicide by jumping into the well, she didn't care much. Naturally, the matter would be investigated by the people below.

"What's the information from Ye Lan?"

"They have been delivered. They are all here with me." The maid quickly picked out the things in her hands and took out the report sent by Ye Lan.

"Let's put the rest aside for now. I only want the information about that girl." Ningguang leaned back in her chair and took out her pipe.

Ye Lan has a lot of work to do, not just the one she was ordered to do, but things have their priorities, and the others are relatively not that important.

"Yes..." The maid had been with Ningguang for a long time, so she naturally knew who the girl Ningguang was paying attention to was.

She quickly took out the thickest piece of paper from the pile and handed it to Ningguang.

To be honest, she was also surprised that the report on the girl was so thick.

Ningguang took the papers and waved to the maid.

The maid bowed and saluted, then quickly left.

Ningguang took the paper and read it carefully.

It records everything that happened after Xing Heying and others came to Liyue, no matter how big or small it was, even what dishes Xing Heying ordered at Wanmin Hall were investigated clearly.

Ningguang read very patiently, not missing a single word.

Of course, she is more concerned about the stars.

"Interesting, you actually went to the Hall of Rebirth..." After a long time, Ningguang put down the paper in her hand, took it next to the candle, and let it burn out.

Although the Master Hu had never seen her very often, she was very familiar with Hu Tao and Wangsheng Hall.

If you work there for two months, you might not encounter a real funeral.

This time it was a coincidence, but Hu Tao might not let Xing participate.

In other words, Hu Tao's asking Xing to work at the Wangsheng Hall was probably just a gimmick, and in reality it was just a simple aid.

It seems that this girl named Xing is quite charming.

Although Master Hu is not an unpleasant person, he usually behaves strangely. If he meets someone he doesn't like, he will most likely not be willing to chat with them.

If she has time later, she might as well go and contact the girl in person.

After all, they are travelers who saved the principality, and they are rare talents for Liyue.

Chapter 25: Satisfy this hall master first, then talk about other things

"Xing, the first step has been taken. Have you thought about what to do next?" Ying lay beside Xing, playing with a strand of Xing's gray hair with one hand.

In her opinion, capturing Walnut was only the first step in their plan, and there were many people waiting to be discovered by Xing.

For example, Xiangling. On the surface, Xiangling is just an ordinary cook, but in fact, Ying has inquired about it and found out that Xiangling is said to be the disciple of a certain immortal!

Anyone who has a connection with immortals in Liyue is definitely not a simple person, and Xiangling is also a target that must be captured.

Then there is the leader of the Southern Cross Fleet, Beidou, who is said to be returning to port soon, and the half-immortal lawyer I saw that day...

The final ultimate target is Ningguang from Tianquan Star who is presiding over the ceremony of inviting the immortals!

"I..." Xing helplessly snatched his hair back from Ying's hands and looked at her unhappily.

"Unless one of the Seven Stars has a problem at home and needs help from Walnut, it would be difficult for even Walnut to approach them."

"That being said...but now we have taken down such a large organization as the Wangsheng Hall. Keep up the good work. I believe in you." Ying laughed dryly, then turned over and sat astride Xing's body, bent down, and looked at Xing.

Ying is very confident in Xing. With her abilities, it would not be a problem for her to conquer all the women in Liyue Harbor.

It’s just a little difficult for those among the Seven Stars of Liyue to meet each other now, but that doesn’t mean they can resist the temptation of the stars.

"...I think it's better not to put all your hopes on me and take shortcuts." Xing and Ying's noses touched each other, and he spoke slowly.

At least she had to be prepared for both situations. Indeed, if she was a little more proactive, those girls would be completely fascinated by her, but they didn't have enough time after all.

There was not much time left until the Immortal Invitation Ceremony began, and she did not have the confidence to climb into the bed of the Tianquan Star in such a short time...

Why does this statement feel weird?

"I know, so I'm also trying to get some commissions from the Adventurer's Association that will give Liyue officials a headache." Ying licked his lips, then sighed softly.

"What a pity. After looking around yesterday, the only commission released by Liyue officials was the pollution of the water source of Feiyunpo."

The matter was easily resolved by her, but it didn't seem to be a particularly big or important matter.

I don't think it will attract the attention of Liyue officials.

Unless there is any other follow-up to this water pollution incident.

“It’s not necessary to accept official commissions from Liyue. There are so many wealthy businessmen in Liyue, and they are also good connections.” Xing closed his eyes and carefully savored the taste of Ying.

"That's true, but these wealthy people rarely have any troubles that need to be entrusted to the Adventurer's Association." Ying simply lay on Xing's body, and the two slimes collided with Xing.

"Now I can only wait slowly."

Due to the lack of connections, this is the only way. It is not an easy task to become famous in a country in a short period of time and then get the opportunity to meet the leader of that country.

Time, strength and luck are all essential.

Of course, "plug-ins" like stars are also needed for additional assistance.

Hopefully, they will be successful in the end and have Tianquan Star allow them to meet the Rock King Emperor at the Summoning Immortal Ceremony.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day, Hu Tao got up very early. After breakfast, he went straight to the next door and knocked on the door.

"Xingbao - are you there? It's time to go to work!" Hu Tao shouted loudly into the house.

Without giving her any time to wait, the door was soon opened.

Xing was rubbing his eyes sleepily. He was not wearing his usual coat, but still the loose white shirt, which was baggy.

"It's Hu Tao, morning... ah?!" Before Xing could react, Hu Tao suddenly hugged her and hung her whole body on her.

"Hehe, my baby Xing is so cute." Hu Tao hugged Xing and rubbed her, burying her little head in Xing's chest. The hot air she blew made Xing's collarbone a little itchy.

"Let me go quickly, what if someone sees us?" Xing steadied himself and then gently pushed Hu Tao.

Although because this place is close to the Hall of Rebirth, few people usually pass by.

But if someone happens to see it, the reputation of this walnut may become even stranger.

The head of the Wangsheng Hall likes to lie on a woman's chest and take a deep breath...

"If someone sees me, so be it. I don't care about that." Walnut said this, but still let go of Xing and then closed the door behind him.

"Speaking of which, where are Ying and Paimon? Are they still sleeping?" Hu Tao turned her head to look behind Xing with some confusion.

The door of one room was open, but the door of the other was tightly closed. I couldn't tell whether the person was still sleeping or not.

"No, they both went out early in the morning." Xing shook her head.

This morning, Qianyanjun knocked on the door earlier than Hutao and said he was looking for Ying.

It was still about the female corpse that day. I don’t know what kind of trouble they had encountered, but Qianyan Army came to Ying for help.

This is a good thing for Ying. She didn't expect that she would have the opportunity to help the Liyue official. If they can solve the problem, their plan will be more successful.

So Ying, full of energy, took Paimeng, who was still half sleepy, out.

Only Xing was left to continue taking a nap.

She actually wanted to help, but after all, she was still a worker at the Wangsheng Hall in name only, and she couldn't just abandon her work there.

Although until the end of yesterday, I still didn't know what she was going to do in the Hall of Rebirth.

"Okay, don't stand here, go sit in the room for a while." Xing patted his cheek, trying to make himself more awake.

There is no furniture in the living room, so if you want to rest, you can only go back to your room.

After entering the room, Xing invited Hu Tao to sit on the bed together.

"By the way, Hu Tao, do you have any work today?" Xing turned his head and asked.

"Oh~ You are asking about today's work..." Hu Tao rolled his eyes and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Of course, there is a very important task right now."

"what?"

"Let me have some breakfast." Walnut licked his lips.

"Breakfast? So you haven't had breakfast yet. But there's no food at home, so why don't we go to Wanmin Hall..." Xing didn't seem to understand what Hu Tao meant.

"Why go to Wanmin Hall? There are delicious foods here that Wanmin Hall doesn't have." Hu Tao said, and pushed Xing directly onto the newly bought bed.

"Let's satisfy my appetite first, and then we can talk about work..."

Chapter 26 Ye Lan's Active Contact

As the saying goes, if you are not full, you will not have the energy to work.

So Xing treated Hu Tao to a delicious meal. Hu Tao was very satisfied. Following the idea that it is impolite not to reciprocate, Hu Tao also gave Xing a hearty breakfast in return.

Both Xing and Walnut were very satisfied. The only problem was that more than an hour had passed and they hadn't even started talking about today's business yet.

"So, what's the real business?" Xing's fingers wandered over Walnut's smooth skin, finally stopping at the spot where the slime was growing, and began his own massage.

Although it's not big, you can't say it doesn't exist. You can still feel it to some extent.

This kind of novel experience has never been experienced before.

And to be honest, Hu Tao is not that old after all.

She felt that there was still some hope for walnuts. As long as she used her method to ripen them, there might be a harvest in the future.

"Of course it's the thing we talked about yesterday. Although it hasn't been officially announced yet, Lord De'an has already found our Wangsheng Hall." Hu Tao moved restlessly in Xing's arms.

Xing's hands are playing tricks, and she calls it helping her grow.

In the end, her face flushed, but she couldn't break free from Xing's arms and could only let him do whatever he wanted to her.

"Lord De'an?" Xing was stunned. He had no impression of this name at all.

"Mr. De'an is the boss of Minghua Trading Company. He also used to own a Minghua Money House." Hu Tao explained to Xing.

This Duke De'an was once very famous, but as the capital of the Kingdom of Zhidong entered the financial world of Liyue, the business of this Duke De'an became worse and worse. His money houses were acquired and his trading companies became worse and worse.

Of course, even after saying these things, Xing still had no knowledge of this Lord De'an.

"In other words, the dead are family members of Lord De'an?" Xing couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, she is Lord De'an's daughter, named Hua Chu." Hu Tao nodded, but suddenly frowned as she spoke, "But the body is in a terrible state, and her identity can only be determined by the clothes and jewelry on her body..."

Kurumi didn't finish her words, but Xing could understand what she meant.

In other words, the corpse might not really be Hua Chu.

After all, in this world, the power of science and technology has hardly made any significant progress, at least that is what Xing has observed so far.

There is no way to determine the parent-child relationship between two people using methods such as DNA.

"It is said that Lord De'an also used blood test to identify his relatives, but what use is this method to anyone? It's just deceiving yourself." Hu Tao couldn't help but complain.
