The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 229 The Arrival of Ye Lan and Shen He
"Let's not talk about this anymore, Chongyun, I'll stay at your house for a few days. I don't want to be locked up in a small dark room and write novels day and night again."

As Chongyun's good brother, Xingqiu had stayed at Chongyun's house many times before. Before meeting Chongyun, Xingqiu's plan was to find an inn in Liyue Harbor to stay for a few days and then go home after the storm had passed.

But now after calming down and thinking about it, Xingqiu suddenly found the flaw in his idea. That is, if he was found by Yaye Shenzi while living in the inn, then no one would even know about it. At that time, he would be squeezed to death by this woman, Yaye Shenzi.

Taking into account the evil nature of this woman, Yajyou Shenzi, Xingqiu silently overturned his original plan and prepared to stay at Chongyun's house for a few days. He didn't believe that this woman, Yajyou Shenzi, would dare to go to the Chongyun family, a family of exorcists, to exploit him.

Given the relationship between Xingqiu and the elders of Chongyun's family, Xingqiu, who often played with Chongyun when he was a child, can say that he was raised by the elders of Chongyun's family. So Xingqiu believed that if the Eightfold Divine Son really went to Chongyun's house to find him, the elders of Chongyun's family would definitely not sit idly by like his father did or even sell him out directly.

"Come to my house? Of course you can. My elders said they haven't seen you, Xingqiu, for a long time."

Chongyun would naturally welcome his good brother to stay at his home for a few days. As long as Xingqiu wanted, Chongyun would not have any objection even if Xingqiu stayed at his home for the whole day. Don't ask why, it's because of the deep brotherhood.

"By the way, Ruojin, you don't know who the mysterious guest that Hu Tao mentioned is?"

The accommodation problem was solved, which made Xingqiu feel much more energetic. He suddenly became interested in the mysterious guest that Hu Tao mentioned. Hearing Xingqiu suddenly asking questions about the mysterious guest, Ruo Jin shook his head and answered truthfully.

"I don't know either. I asked Hu Tao before, but she never told me."

"It's really strange. Considering your relationship with Kurumi, Kurumi would actually hide this from you. It seems that the guest must be quite important."

Knowing that Ruo Jin would not fool him on such an issue, Xingqiu stroked his chin and began to wonder who on earth was worthy of being invited by Hu Tao in person. Could it be some immortal?
Come to think of it, there should be no one in Liyue who could be so arrogant as to be invited by Hu Tao personally, except for the immortals. After checking the answers in his mind, Xingqiu believed that there was a 99% chance that the mysterious guest was an immortal.

The door of the Hall of Rebirth was opened again. Ruo Jin was familiar with the way Hu Tao opened the door. Even without the help of the earth veins, he knew that it was not Hu Tao who came back as soon as he heard the sound. He looked at the door and saw that the person who came was indeed not Hu Tao.

"So many people have come already? But I hope you're not the last one."

When he pushed the door open, he found that there were already many people in the Hall of Rebirth. Ye Lan, who had secretly collected information about these people, did not hesitate to sit next to Ruo Jin with Shen He behind him.

"I didn't expect that Sister Ye Lan, you were also invited by Hu Tao. It's incredible."

Looking at Chongyun who was communicating with Shenhe, Ruojin was quite surprised at Ye Lan's arrival. Because of Ye Lan's work, Hu Tao had invited Ye Lan many times before, but Ye Lan never came once.

"Why? Can't I just join my friend's dinner?"

Ye Lan played with the dice in her hand and gave Ruo Jin a seductive look. Knowing that she was no match for Ye Lan in terms of means, Ruo Jin simply shut her mouth. There were so many people in the Hall of Rebirth, and Ruo Jin didn't want to be teased by Ye Lan, this bad woman, in front of so many friends.

Seeing that Ruojin was silent, Yelan played with the dice for a few times and put them away in boredom. Compared with Ruojin, Yelan was more interested in Xingqiu who was sitting opposite her. "Master Xingqiu, did you and Chongyun have any conflicts a few days ago?"

"Ah? No, why did Miss Ye Lan say that? Is someone spreading rumors?"

Ye Lan's questioning words made Xingqiu blink in confusion. He and Chongyun had been playing together since they were young, and they had never quarreled. Now that Ye Lan said this, Xingqiu immediately thought that someone was spreading rumors behind his back.

"I didn't spread rumors, but Chongyun went to Shenhe every day to learn talismans a few days ago. I didn't see Master Xingqiu for so many days, so I was worried that Master Xingqiu and Chongyun had a conflict."

"After all, Shen He and I are best friends, and Chongyun is half my nephew. I don't want to see any conflicts between Chongyun and his good friend that lead to a breakdown of friendship."

What Ye Lan said was so reasonable. If Ruo Jin didn't know what kind of person Ye Lan was, she would really think that Ye Lan was concerned about her nephew.

Unfortunately, Ruo Jin, who knew Ye Lan well, could guess that Ye Lan's question was not a simple one, but Xingqiu, who didn't know Ye Lan well, couldn't do it. The naive Xingqiu really thought that Ye Lan was concerned about the relationship between Chongyun and him, so Xingqiu said straightforwardly.

“Ms. Yelan, I didn’t go to see Chongyun a few days ago because of something at home. Chongyun and I have a very good relationship.”

After saying that, Xingqiu pulled Chongyun to his side and hugged Chongyun's shoulders. Seeing his nephew being pulled over by Xingqiu without knowing why, Shen He, who already understood some worldly relationships and ways of dealing with people, couldn't help but have some worries in his eyes.

She hoped that her nephew and the 'little Ye Lan' named Xingqiu would not sleep in the same bed like she and Ye Lan did. Otherwise, no matter how uncomfortable she was with the hospitality of her family, Shen He felt that she needed to visit Chongyun's home.

"Oh, it seems I was overthinking it."

Without getting the answer she wanted, Ye Lan nodded and did not ask any more questions. She felt that she needed to find out what Xingqiu had been doing at home these days. If there were any difficulties, she could help Xingqiu secretly, as a way of repaying the favor of her stealing the sword skills from the Guhua School.

When fighting with the Young Master in the Golden House, Ye Lan, who suffered a loss in close combat, had mentioned his desire to learn swordsmanship from the Guhua Sect. Although the Guhua Sect is now in decline, Ye Lan is still quite interested in the swordsmanship that has been continuously improved and perfected by the Guhua Sect over the past thousand years.

However, considering that Liyue Harbor is still in the recovery stage recently and there are many things that need her to deal with secretly, she may not have so much time to study in Guhua Sect, so Ye Lan shifted her attention to Xingqiu.

In order to assess whether Xingqiu was a threat to Liyue Harbor, Ye Lan had secretly collected intelligence about Xingqiu. If she remembered correctly, she had recorded in her report that Xingqiu practiced sword every morning.

So, Ye Lan hid in the dark every morning to watch Xingqiu practice swordsmanship. As a person who could master archery to perfection, Ye Lan's talent in martial arts was not bad, and it could even be said to be very high. By observing from a distance, Ye Lan managed to learn most of the Guhua school swordsmanship that Xingqiu practiced.

Until a few days ago, Ye Lan, who was standing on a high place early in the morning waiting for Xingqiu to practice sword, suddenly discovered that Xingqiu did not practice sword that morning. From then until this morning, Xingqiu had not practiced sword skills for many days and had not even stepped out of the house. This made Ye Lan feel that there must be something strange about this matter.
