The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 130 Shocked! Hu Tao actually did this in the Hall of Rebirth
Early in the morning, after being taught a lesson by Keqing for a long time, Ruojin had breakfast in Wanmin Hall and then walked slowly towards Wangsheng Hall. While walking on the road, Ruojin could clearly notice that there were more Qianyan soldiers patrolling, and even some Qianyan soldiers responsible for patrolling in the wild were called back.

As soon as he entered the Hall of Rebirth, Ruo Jin saw a pile of ancient books scattered around Hu Tao, who never liked reading. Hu Tao was holding a book and flipping through it while muttering, "I remember it was in this book, why can't I find it?" "That shouldn't be the case. Did I use that book to start a fire to roast pigeons?"

Su Bai hesitated for a moment as he looked at Hu Tao who was frantically flipping through a book in front of him, then stepped back to the door of the Hall of Rebirth and looked up at the plaque hanging in front of the house. This was indeed the Hall of Rebirth. What happened to Hu Tao? She never liked reading, but today she was reading. Could it be that she was so happy that she could preside over the ceremony of sending off the immortals?
"Boss Ruota, do you think I am dreaming?"

Ruojin touched his chin and asked hesitantly to the Ruota Dragon King who had just woken up. The Ruota Dragon King yawned with his sleepy eyes and said unhappily.

"If I was really dreaming, I wouldn't be woken up by the noise outside. You ran out so early in the morning. Are you going to let me sleep?"

The answer from the Dragon King Ruota confirmed that Ruo Jin was not dreaming. However, if he was not dreaming, the scene before him was too magical. Hu Tao would study hard. This was even more outrageous than suddenly telling him that Zhongli praised Xingqiu's calligraphy after reading it. You know, Hu Tao hardly read books when she was a child because she relied on her intelligence.

Feeling that there must be something fishy about this matter, Ruo Jin looked at Mona. The second guest of the Hall of Rebirth, the great astrologer Astrologius Mona Megistus, was also not idle. She was sitting on a chair nearby, putting the Mora meat bought by the waiter into her mouth with one hand and flipping through a book with the other hand.

After all, Mona is an intellectual who reads frequently. After a while, she flipped through the book in her hand. While Mona was changing books, Ruo Jin, worried about disturbing Hu Tao, asked hurriedly.

"Mona, what are you and Hu Tao doing? It's incredible that Hu Tao is reading a book so early in the morning."

"Hey, Ruojin, when did you come? Hall Master Hu said that because it has been a long time, she has forgotten the steps of the Sending Immortals Ceremony, so she wants to find a book that records the Sending Immortals Ceremony."

After explaining to Ruojin, Mona continued to pick up the book beside her and started to read. These ancient books were passed down from generation to generation in the Wangsheng Hall. They recorded a lot of human history and strange stories. These records were quite interesting to Mona. She even felt that if the scholars of Xumi could see these books, it should not be a problem to write a paper that could pass the review of the Ministry of Education.

Mona carefully smoothed out the wrinkled pages. These books were priceless treasures in the eyes of scholars. Unfortunately, such treasures had been placed in a corner by Hall Master Hu. If it were not for the matter related to the Immortal Sending Ceremony today, Hall Master Hu would have forgotten about these books long ago.

Having stayed in the Wangsheng Hall for a while, Mona has gained some understanding of it. According to her observation, Hall Master Hu generally does not like to use his brain. The guest official named Zhongli is the intellectual leader of the Wangsheng Hall. He is young but very mature. In Mona's opinion, he should be a very trustworthy person.

Moreover, Mr. Zhongli was a very kind person. He even invited her to have dinner at Liuliting yesterday. However, she did not go because she had already promised Xiangling to go to Wanmintang to try the new dishes.

Now thinking about the slime gel stewed with sweet flowers that Xiangling made yesterday, Mona felt uncomfortable all over. It was a pity that she didn't have a girlfriend to attend the meal with Mr. Zhongli. If she had known that Xiangling's so-called new dish was the slime dish that even Master Hu was afraid of, she should have made up for it in advance before answering Xiangling.

"Great, I finally found it~ I was saying that when I was reading a book before, I clearly remembered that there was a book that wrote the highest standards of the Immortal Sending Ceremony. Humph, you were hiding in a pile of books and trying to hide yourself. You must have been found." "Hey, Ah Jin, when did you come? Come on, come and sit down."

Seeing Ruojin standing at the door of the Hall of Rebirth, Hu Tao's eyes lit up. With a smile on her face, she took Ruojin's hand and dragged him to the chair. She also diligently poured Ruojin a cup of tea. While Ruojin was drinking tea, she patted his back and massaged his shoulders.

"Tell me, Kurumi, what do you want me to do for you?"

Ruojin sat comfortably in the chair, squinting his eyes and enjoying Hutao's massage service. The two of them almost grew up together, so Ruojin was too familiar with Hutao. Every time Hutao behaved like this, she definitely wanted to ask him for help.

"Hey, Ah Jin, aren't you asking me to take care of the Immortal Sending Ceremony? I need to practice the steps of the ceremony recently and don't have time to purchase the items needed for the ceremony, so I asked Zhongli to do it."

"A Jin, you know that Zhongli is a lavish spender every time he buys things. He almost bankrupted Wangsheng Hall. And yesterday, I saw him getting close to an executive of the Fatui. They even went to Liuli Pavilion to eat, talking and laughing. So I want you to help me keep an eye on Zhongli and make sure he doesn't get fooled by the Fatui."

Zhongli was fooled by the Fatui? Ruo Jin thought it was impossible. With Zhongli's intelligence, it was possible that the Fatui were fooled by Zhongli and sold out, and finally had to help Zhongli count Moras.

Ruojin was aware of Zhongli's wisdom. He and Zhongli had played hundreds of games of Liyue Millennium before. To be more precise, it was two against one between him and the Dragon King Ruota. In the end, neither of them won a single game, while Zhongli performed very easily. Ruojin felt ashamed when he thought about it now. They were both human beings, so why was there such a big gap between them?

Now Hu Tao suddenly said that she was worried that Zhongli was being cheated. Ruo Jin seemed a little hesitant. Hu Tao saw that Ruo Jin didn't seem to believe what she said, so she hugged Ruo Jin from behind and whispered in Ruo Jin's ear in a serious tone.

"Ajin, Keqing works in the General Affairs Department. You must be aware of many cases of fraud. Think about it carefully. Are the victims of those frauds mostly smart people?"

Of course, Hu Tao did not say the part about her worry that Zhongli might be seduced by the young master. After all, Mona was also here, and she had to protect Zhongli's image to some extent.

After hearing what Hu Tao said, Ruo Jin suddenly felt that there seemed to be some truth in it. Zhongli, a smart man, might have been fooled by the young master. After all, fools have a certain restraint on smart people. Although the probability is very small, it is not impossible.
