40. Get things done
"The hall master is absolutely right."
Zhongli, who originally didn't know how to flatter, found that he couldn't cope with Hu Tao at all after becoming a guest at the Hall of Purity. Zhongli would argue a few words at first, but after seeing Hu Tao's elusive actions and words, he learned how to cater to Hu Tao.
The sentence is perfunctory.
Because it's really easy.
Even if this sometimes makes Zhongli feel that it goes against his true inner thoughts...
Hu Tao chuckled, crossed her arms and said, "Does Mr. Zhongli mean to let Tong Yan stay and work in the Hall of Life?"
"good."
Zhong Li replied calmly, and then looked at the door of the Hall of Rebirth with a slightly confused look.
"Speaking of which, why is the hall master not with Xiang Wan today?"
In Zhongli's eyes, Hu Tao and Xiang Wan have always been inseparable. Now that Xiang Wan is seriously injured and unconscious, why did he come back alone today?
"Mr. Bai Zhu said that Xiang Wan's injuries have been completely stabilized."
"I couldn't resist Xiang Ling and Sister Beidou, so I came back to take a look."
"Is Carrot still sleeping?"
Tong Yan, who had been listening quietly, said: "She was sleeping soundly when I got up, so I came out first without disturbing her."
"So you were the one who put Carrot to sleep last night?"
Thinking of the scene where the carrot kept pestering her to tell the story at night, Tong Yan couldn't help but hold her forehead and sighed softly.
"Hahaha..."
Hu Tao raised her hand and patted Tong Yan's slightly thin shoulder to show comfort.
It's just that the childish look in the words can't be felt at all.
"Then I'll leave it to you tonight~"
"Aren't you going to meet her?"
Hutao waved his hand and said, "I don't want Carrot to know about her father's injury just yet."
"And the reason why I came back today is to see how the business of the Holy Life Hall has been going over the past month."
"Although I feel relieved to leave it to Mr. Zhongli to take care of it, after all, I am also the master of the Rebirth Hall, so I can't just be the shopkeeper."
Tong Yan could clearly see Mr. Zhongli's eyes twitching. It seemed that Zhongli didn't believe what Hutao had just said.
"Xiang Wan doesn't need my care for the time being, so I'm going to deal with some things.
Hu Tao's tone was full of calmness, but for some reason, Tong Yan felt that the matter was not that simple. However, before she could ask any questions, Hu Tao came to Tong Yan and handed her a small note.
"If Xiang Wan wakes up, please help me bring these words to him."
"Since Mr. Zhongli asked you to work in the Hall of Life, then this is your first task."
"It must be handed over to him."
The mission came too suddenly, and Tong Yan didn't expect it, so her expression was a little dazed, and paired with her petite figure, she looked very cute.
Hu Tao blinked at Tong Yan.
"No peeking allowed~"
Several golden butterflies danced gracefully, and Hu Tao's figure disappeared from the place.
If it weren't for the fact that the note in her hand was still warm, Tong Yan would have doubted whether what just happened was an illusion. She raised her eyes to look at Zhong Li, her pretty face full of doubts.
"Mr. Zhongli, just now..."
Zhongli's eyes fell into the distance. It was obviously very close, but the voice sounded a little faint.
"I'll leave the Rebirth Hall to you for the time being."
"This is the book Carrot read this morning. Give it to her when she wakes up."
"You can just read it with her."
Feeling the weight of the thick stack of books that suddenly appeared in her hand, Tong Yan was completely stunned. Before she could speak, Mr. Zhongli walked out of the Hall of Purity and disappeared.
The huge Hall of Purity became childlike in just these few seconds.
A child's face looks up to the sky.
"what happened?"
