Chapter 88 The Birth of a Guest Elder, the Wind God Injured
On the street, a childish voice reached Zhongli's ears as he sat drinking tea at a roadside teahouse.
"Please take a look. Our Rebirth Hall offers comprehensive services and will not disappoint you!"
Upon hearing the sound, Zhongli instinctively turned around and looked towards the street.
The next second, Little Walnut's figure came into view.
"Get out of here, get out of here! Who asks someone on the street if they want to die? It's bad luck. Stay away from me."
The person in front of Little Walnut quickened their pace while giving her a look of disdain.
"Okay... sorry to bother you..."
Little Walnut was slightly disappointed, but then her smile returned.
After adjusting her hat, she continued to promote her funeral services to passersby on the street.
However, 90% of people feel they should avoid this at all costs.
After observing all of this, Zhongli remained silent for a moment before finally putting down his teacup.
The next second, he put a bunch of Mora on the table and then slowly walked towards Walnut.
"Young lady, why are you out selling business at such a young age?"
Zhongli, who always valued the common people, looked intently at Xiao Hutao, wanting to understand the reason behind it.
Hearing someone calling her, Little Walnut quickly turned her head and greeted them politely.
"Hello, I am Hu Tao, the 77th head of the Rebirth Hall. Do you need any rebirth services? ... I can provide them, and I'll give you a discount."
After saying that, Little Walnut looked at him expectantly.
"Hmm... The Hall of Rebirth is the only institution for the deceased in Liyue. May I ask, young lady, why have you taken on the position of Hall Master at such a young age?"
Seeing Zhongli willing to talk to her, Xiao Hutao happily revealed her sweet dimples.
"Uncle, don't let my young age fool you. My grandpa has already passed on all his skills to me, so I can do everything! Grandpa always praises me for being sensible!"
"What an exceptionally bright child! So eloquent at such a young age. Your grandfather must be very shrewd and capable."
After saying that, Zhongli bent down and gently touched Xiao Hutao's hat.
"This hat was left to me by my grandfather, please don't touch it!"
However, upon noticing Zhong Li's movement, Xiao Hu Tao instinctively took a step back and quickly reminded him.
"I'm sorry, I meant no offense. I didn't realize these were your grandfather's belongings. Oh, what a poor child..."
Zhong Li frowned, and at the same time looked at Little Hu Tao, who was blinking her big eyes with pity.
"Uncle, is there anything else? If not, Hu Tao can't keep chatting with you any longer~ Hu Tao hasn't met her sales targets yet, sorry, goodbye uncle."
"Wait a minute, are you still hiring at your Rebirth Hall?"
Watching Xiao Hu Tao's departing figure, Zhong Li finally couldn't help but ask.
"Oh? Uncle, you want to work at the Rebirth Hall? That's great! We're short-staffed right now... Hehe, there are many positions available~ Just pick one!"
Looking at the tall and composed Zhongli in front of her, Xiao Hutao's eyes curved like crescent moons, and she smiled with peace of mind.
"Hmm... In that case, I'll temporarily take on the position of guest advisor..."
After pondering for a moment, Zhongli gave his answer.
"Huh? Uncle, what does a guest advisor do?"
"A guest advisor is someone who serves as a knowledge consultant for the Hall of Rebirth. I can help think about and plan for all matters concerning the Hall of Rebirth in the future."
"That's wonderful! Welcome, Uncle, to the Hall of Rebirth!"
After listening, Little Walnut clapped her hands with a smile.
"Now that I've joined the Hall of Rebirth, let's address each other according to the rules. I'll call you Hall Master, and you can call me Guest Elder."
"Okay, hello guest uncle~"
"He is a guest advisor."
"Greetings, guest!"
"Yes, greetings, Master."
……
Back to reality.
"Ten years have passed, I can't believe it's gone by so quickly..."
Zhong Li snapped out of her reverie, walked to the sofa in a daze, and slowly sat down.
Over the years, Zhongli has come to regard Hu Tao as his own daughter. Without Zhongli's involvement, the Rebirth Hall would certainly have struggled to function under Hu Tao's sole management.
"It's always a good thing that the leader can go out and see the world."
"I hope they have a safe journey."
Just as Zhongli was feeling sentimental, Barbatos suddenly appeared.
He dragged his weary body and laboriously bent over to walk through the door of the Hall of Rebirth.
“Mora...x…”
Barbatos gritted his teeth, weakly pressing his bleeding abdomen.
Seeing Barbatos's disheveled appearance, Zhongli quickly stood up and swiftly supported his weak figure.
"Barbatos, what's going on with you?"
Seeing Barbatos's serious injuries, Zhong Li couldn't help but frown.
"I... am being besieged by the Abyss Cult..."
Immediately after being helped to lie down on the sofa by Zhongli, Barbatos endured the pain and slowly recounted his experience.
Just moments ago, after Barbatos had left the Abyss Order's base, before he could even dive to the ground, his feet were bound by several sudden chaotic shackles.
Although the panicked Barbatos broke free of his shackles in an instant, he was still blocked by Kong who appeared out of nowhere.
