Chapter 389: Shen He's Purpose for Coming to Wanmin Hall

"Ajin, Ajin, smell me to see if I still have that seafood smell."

Hu Tao, who had taken eight baths, leaned her body into Ruo Jin's arms as soon as she arrived at Wanmin Hall. No one knew what Hu Tao used when she took a bath, but a faint scent of osmanthus penetrated Ruo Jin's nose, making her unable to help but sniff a few more times.

Noticing Ruojin's actions, Hu Tao's eyes flashed with pride. It was really worth the high price she paid for the bathing products from Sister Ying'er. It would be great if Ruojin liked them.

After sniffing the sweet-scented osmanthus scent coming from Hu Tao a few times, Ruo Jin came back to his senses. He looked down at Hu Tao's little hands that were a little red from scrubbing and couldn't help feeling a little distressed. Then Ruo Jin spoke in a slightly educational tone.

"Hutao, next time you see something like this, you must stay away from it. It's a good thing that the mushroom didn't explode very strongly this time, otherwise you would be in danger."

"Okay, okay, I get it, Ajin."

After being lectured by Ruojin, Hu Tao behaved very well. However, if her plum blossom eyes did not flash a little bit of brilliance, Ruojin might believe her more. Seeing that Hu Tao looked like she knew she was wrong but might not change next time, Ruojin, who knew Hu Tao's temperament well, felt a little distressed.

And the fact is just as Ruo Jin guessed. Now Hu Tao is indeed thinking about buying a few of these exploding mushrooms after dinner and putting them in the Wangsheng Hall for collection. Who knows, they may be useful someday.

Just when Walnut was still thinking about how many of these mushrooms she should buy, her eyes accidentally caught a glimpse of the door outside the Wanmin Hall. At some point, a purple cat head appeared outside the Wanmin Hall.

"Ajin, why are you so worried? Did something happen? Tell me and see if I can help you."

The purple cat head who finished her work, no, after finishing her work, Keqing came to Wanmin Hall and was about to talk to Ruojin, but as soon as she walked into Wanmin Hall, she saw Ruojin with a sad face, which made Keqing a little concerned.

Oh no, why is Keqing here? When Hu Tao saw Keqing asking why Ruo Jin was so sad, she was shocked and the idea of ​​buying those exploding mushrooms disappeared in an instant.

As for Keqing, because she is Ruojin's sister and has issued many tickets to Wangsheng Hall, Hu Tao has an indescribable awe towards Keqing. Now that Keqing asked about this matter, how could Hu Tao dare to let Keqing know what she was thinking?

So, in a place where Keqing couldn't see, Hu Tao pressed her entire body against Ruojin and started to act coquettishly to Ruojin, wanting Ruojin to cover for her.

Feeling the softness coming from behind, the distress on Ruojin's face paused, and then disappeared. When asked by Keqing, Ruojin just repeated what happened just now and said that he was just worried about Master Mao, and did not point out Hu Tao's little thoughts.

After listening to Ruojin's explanation, Keqing did not doubt Ruojin's words because she did not see Hu Tao's little action. After all, it was quite a big fuss when Master Mao brought a Xumi merchant to the General Affairs Department just now. After thinking about it, she felt that the people in Wanmin Hall were not the kind of people who would leak secrets easily. Keqing lowered her voice and said to Ruojin.

"The General Affairs Department has organized a team to investigate Master Mao's matter. Master Mao also asked me to tell you that he will cooperate with the General Affairs Department's personnel in the evening and will not be back for dinner."

Perhaps Ruo Jin and the others could not understand why Master Mao would rather not eat at night and help the people from the General Affairs Department to catch people, but Keqing, who heard some news, expressed her understanding. After all, during the argument between the two sides, the extremely arrogant Xumi man on the opposite side threw a handful of stinky yellow masala at Master Mao. Keqing felt that it was better to keep it secret from everyone in the Wanmin Hall, otherwise everyone might not have a good appetite at night.

So, with Keqing's deliberate concealment, everyone in Wanmin Hall only knew that the General Affairs Department would take action tonight. As for why Master Mao would go with the people from the General Affairs Department, no one cared too much. Even Xiangling, her daughter, just thought that her father was angry.

"Everyone, long time no see. It seems that you haven't changed much."

Just as Xiangling was busy cooking, Guoba was lighting the fire, Hutao, Ying and Keqing were helping, Paimon and Mona were tasting the food, Zhongli was drinking tea, and Ruojin was worrying about when his boss Ruota would wake up from his seasickness, a familiar voice was heard outside the Wanmin Hall, and Ye Lan and Shen He slowly walked into the Wanmin Hall.

"Sister Yelan, Shenhe, long time no see. Is there anything you want to talk to me about? Do you want to have something to eat together later?"

Seeing that the visitors were Ye Lan and Shen He, Ruo Jin warmly invited them to sit down and have a meal together later. However, Ye Lan shook her head slightly at Ruo Jin's invitation.

"No need to eat. I have something to do later. The main reason I came here is because Shen He wants to talk to you about something."

Hearing that it was Shen He who was looking for Ruo Jin for something, Hu Tao, Xiangling and Keqing in the kitchen stopped what they were doing almost at the same time. After looking at each other, they all pricked up their ears to listen to what Shen He was looking for Ruo Jin for.

Because the three of them knew in their hearts that if Shen He was interested in Ruo Jin, then Shen He would be their biggest enemy. Even the three of them put together might not be as strong as Shen He. Well, you could also say the same thing about two people put together. After all, Hu Tao, anyone who understands would understand.

Looking outside the kitchen through the small window, and seeing the huge evil on Shen He's chest, Hu Tao's mouth twitched slightly. Hu Tao, who had never paid attention to such things before, felt for the first time that the gap between people could be so big.

No, she couldn't just give up. She was not yet 20 years old, so she still had room to grow. Thinking about her age, even though she felt that she would never reach the size of Shen He even if she grew, Hu Tao, who didn't want to give up, comforted herself. "Ruo Jin, this is what the master asked me to give you."

Shen He handed the package on his back to Ruo Jin. Facing Ruo Jin's confused look, Shen He also spoke in her cold tone.

"This package contains various books given to you by your master, including many books on talismans, mechanisms, seals, etc."

"Huh? Why did you give me these things so suddenly?"

Looking at the package on the table, Ruo Jin was a little confused. He was just thinking about how to find those immortal seniors to ask for some books about sealing. Unexpectedly, before he could figure out a way, Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng gave him the book directly.

"My master said that since you are now an immortal, you should read more immortal books. Otherwise, you will lose the reputation of being an immortal and the immortals will be angry."

"Uh, okay..."

After thinking about the tempers of those immortals, although he felt that this matter was a bit strange, Ruo Jin, who had gotten the upper hand, felt that what Shen He said still made some sense. If he really lost the title of an immortal, then the immortal seniors in Jue Yunjian would probably really teach him a lesson if they knew about it. So it could barely make sense that True Lord Liu Yun Jie Feng asked Shen He to come and send him off.

"Now that I've delivered the stuff, I'll leave first."

After seeing Ruojin put away the package, Shen He, who was naturally cold by nature, said goodbye directly.

"Aren't you going to have a meal here?"

Upon hearing that Shen He was about to leave, Ruo Jin hurriedly stood up and wanted to keep Shen He and Ye Lan for dinner. After all, they were all acquaintances, and it would only be a matter of adding two more pairs of chopsticks.

"No need to eat, Shen He and I still have some things to take care of."

Ever since she stepped into Wanmin Hall, Ye Lan felt three inquiring gazes in the kitchen, and one of the gazes was quite resentful, which made Ye Lan not want to get involved in today's dinner. As for Shen He, she usually listened to Ye Lan.

After hearing Ye Lan say that she wanted to deal with something, and knowing that Ye Lan's job was special, Ruo Jin did not force Ye Lan and Shen He to stay. After sending Ye Lan and Shen He out of Wanmin Hall, Ruo Jin, who felt a little unreal, returned to his chair and thought about it. He always felt that this matter was a little too coincidental.

It's a pity that Boss Ruota is still seasick and hasn't woken up yet, otherwise he could still discuss this matter with Boss Ruota. After sensing the dazed Ruota Dragon King lying in the seal, Ruo Jin gave up the idea of ​​disturbing Ruota Dragon King and nodded.

Zhongli, who saw all this, sighed slightly. When they were sailing on the sea before, he used his ability of dream communication to ask Liuyun to find an opportunity to give the immortal book he had written to Ruojin. However, what Zhongli did not expect was that Liuyun sent the thing out on the day Ruojin returned.

This kind of thing should have been given to Ruojin after she went to Jueyunjian. Seeing Ruojin's thoughtful look, Zhongli was numb.

"Ajin, what are you thinking about?"

Seeing Ruojin sitting in the chair with a thoughtful look on her face, Keqing came to Ruojin with some concern. In order not to make Keqing worry, Ruojin suppressed the thought in her heart that something was wrong and deliberately said.

"Sister Keqing, if you pull my ears again in the future, will that be considered disrespectful to the Immortal Master?"

As soon as Ruojin said this, before he could see the change in Keqing's expression, he felt a pain in his ear. He didn't expect Keqing to suddenly attack his ear. Ruojin was caught off guard and was directly grabbed by Keqing's ear.

"It hurts, it hurts, Sister Keqing, I was just talking, my ears, they are going to fall off."

"Disrespecting the Immortal Master? Ah Jin, it seems that you have become much bolder after not teaching you for many days."

A hint of dangerous aura emanated from Keqing. Ignoring Ruojin's pleas for mercy, Keqing pulled Ruojin's ear even harder because she felt that it would be better to dispel Ruojin's strange idea as soon as possible. Otherwise, she would not be able to express her feelings to Ruojin in the future.
