Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

After watching for a while, he suddenly laughed.

"Forget it, I'm just an ordinary worker at the Rebirth Hall, there's no need for me to delve into such complicated matters."

Regardless of his past or the secrets of this world, we will know when the time is right; there is no need to rush to find out.

He stretched and said, "It's been a long time since I've been back. The sect leader must miss me."

Are you leaving?

"Ah."

Jiang Bai used rock elements to create a wheelchair, spending considerable time on the intricate details of the wheel hub's movement. He then sealed his legs with a layer of rock, both to aid in rapid bone healing and to prevent accidental re-injury.

Wearing somewhat tattered clothes and sitting in a wheelchair, he really looked the part.

The stone wheels couldn't absorb the shock, and riding on uneven ground made my butt hurt.

Watching Jiang Bai move around in his wheelchair with ease, Wendy pouted, "Why do I have to carry this thing when we have it..."

Jiang Bai rolled her eyes. "You're the one who wanted to carry me!"

"Since you've answered so many of my questions, I'll treat you to dandelion wine."

Jiang Bai took out a small, sealed flask of dandelion wine from the Sanqing Bell.

Zhongli brewed the wine using the dandelion seeds they had given him last time, but he hadn't drunk it because he was afraid Zhongli would poison him.

But Wendy is definitely not afraid of poison.

Before the statue where Jiang Bai's figure had disappeared, Wendy unscrewed the lid of the wine jug, releasing its aroma.

"Hmm, it smells like an old friend..."

Jiang Bai, sitting in a wheelchair, appeared next to the earth vein anchor point of Chihu Rock and immediately sent a message to Hu Tao using the long-distance communication device.

[Master, I'm at the Tiger Rock ley line anchor point, severely injured and unable to move! Come quickly!]

Hu Tao was a little confused when she suddenly received a message from Jiang Bai.

He was seriously injured at the earth vein anchor point of Chihuyan?

Why couldn't she believe Jiang Bai's infinitely stackable tortoise-shell-like shield?

I only came back once on the first day I went to Mondstadt, and afterwards I kept sending her messages. I even had the nerve to ask her to pick me up...

Despite thinking this, Hu Tao's body still moved honestly, and she quickly headed towards Tiger-Eating Rock.

Jiang Bai sat in his simple stone wheelchair, looking around and guessing which direction Hu Tao would appear from.

His hair was deliberately messed up, his face was smeared with mud, and although his clothes were not tattered, they were covered in dust. The most obvious thing was his legs, which were encased in thick rocks, indicating that he was seriously injured.

Not long after, Hu Tao appeared in a flurry of activity and stood in front of him in a few steps.

"What happened to you?" Hu Tao stared in surprise at Jiang Bai's disheveled appearance.

He actually got injured!

The injury was quite serious!

She looked Jiang Bai up and down several times, and finally her gaze settled on Jiang Bai's legs.

What happened to your leg?

She crouched down and tapped it; the rock was hard.

Jiang Bai pouted, looking aggrieved, his eyebrows drooping, and with the dust on his face, he looked as pitiful as could be.

"My bones were broken, I encountered the Fatui Enforcer [the lady], a battle ensued, and I was beaten..."

"A Fool's Enforcer?!" Kurumi frowned deeply. "Why was there a battle? How did you get beaten so badly?"

She really couldn't understand how she was being involved with the Fatui Enforcers again. Could it be that the Fatui were the culprits behind the Mondstadt Dragon Plague?

"It's a long story, Master, let's go back first." Some things are not suitable to be said in a crowded place.

"Why go back? Just go straight to Bubulu!"

Hu Tao pushed Jiang Bai's wheelchair as fast as she could, just like pushing a stroller.

The stone-paved ground was uneven, and the wheelchair bounced along without any shock absorption. The place to sit was also hard rock.

Jiang Bai bounced up and down repeatedly in his wheelchair. By the time he arrived at the foot of Bubulu, he could no longer feel his buttocks.

Looking at the long stone steps in front of Bubu Lodge, Hu Tao glanced at the wheelchair, then at Jiang Bai, and under Jiang Bai's somewhat shy gaze, she hoisted him onto her shoulder.

Jiang Bai, carried on his shoulder, froze in shock...

She imagined Hu Tao would carry him up to her, but the more beautiful the imagination, the crueler the reality.

He covered his face, unwilling to face the harsh reality.

Hu Tao rushed into Bu Bu Lu in a flurry of activity, attracting the attention of countless people on the roadside. Jiang Bai tried his best to cover his face tightly so that they wouldn't see him.

"Bai Shu! Bai Shu! Quick, come and check this guy's injuries!"

Chapter 235 So Sour!

"what happened?"

Hearing Hu Tao's loud voice, Bai Shu lifted the curtain and came out, only to see a humanoid figure being carried on Hu Tao's shoulder.

Seeing Jiang Bai covering his face tightly, he wanted to laugh, and the white snake on his shoulder laughed out loud without any restraint.

"Hahaha, that's hilarious! How could he even sit on Hu Tao's shoulder like that, and cover his face? What's the point of covering his face anyway...?"

Jiang Bai lowered his hand and glared angrily at the snake.

Is this what he wanted?! It's clearly because he couldn't resist!

"Master, put me down quickly!"

Hu Tao helped Jiang Bai onto a chair and stretched her shoulders.

This thing is pretty heavy.

She pointed at Jiang Bai's leg, "Bai Shu, come and look at this guy's leg, he says it's broken."

"Let me see."

Jiang Bai removed the rock element from his feet, and Bai Shu placed one of his legs on his knee. His pale hands glowed with a faint green light as he gently stroked and pressed his leg bones.

"The leg bone is likely fractured, but it has already been treated with a healing spell. Use your geomantic element to immobilize it, minimize movement, and it should heal in time. However, since both leg bones are fractured, you won't be able to walk normally until they're fully healed..."

Bai Shu gently lowered Jiang Bai's legs and looked at Hu Tao, "I happen to have a batch of the latest wheelchairs here. I wonder if Hall Master Hu is interested in purchasing them? I can offer Hall Master Hu a friendly price."

"How much?" Hu Tao became wary.

"It's not expensive, only 100,000 Mora." Bai Shu smiled and had someone bring out the wheelchair.

"These were ordered from Fontainebleau. They're custom-made to fit an adult's body, and the tires are made with a special rubber that's both soft and strong, allowing for a smooth ride even on uneven surfaces, maximizing patient comfort. A comfortable mood also helps wounds heal faster. The armrests are also specially designed; you can turn them to move the wheelchair forward on its own, without needing someone to push it from behind, giving patients maximum freedom of movement..."

Bai Zhu acted like a salesman, promoting the various benefits of the wheelchair to Hu Tao and Jiang Bai.

They're practically saying that sitting in this wheelchair will prolong your life...

Hu Tao looked at Jiang Bai, "Do you want some?"

Jiang Baitou nodded as if he were pounding garlic.

Yes, yes, yes! Of course I want it! That stone wheelchair of his is so uncomfortable on my backside!

"If you want it, then pay up!" Hu Tao put her hands on her hips, clearly having no intention of paying.

Jiang Bai stared wide-eyed at Hu Tao in disbelief.

"What are you looking at! Injuries you get while playing outside don't count as work-related injuries!" Hu Tao said confidently.

He's been out having fun for so long and hasn't come back, and he hasn't even sent her a message. Considering he's injured, she's already being very lenient by not slapping him on the head, and yet he still wants her to pay for it!

"Okay..." Jiang Bai reluctantly took out his money.

They pay for things for Zhongli without batting an eye, but they won't even buy him a wheelchair when he's sick...

Qiqi peeked her head out from behind the door and saw Hu Tao. She had an urge to run away immediately. Even though Hu Tao no longer wanted to send her to her death, the fear that had been ingrained for so long couldn't be dispelled overnight.

She looked at Jiang Bai with a blank expression.

It looks familiar, but I can't quite place it.

She opened her notebook, and the contents reminded her who it was. She ran up to Jiang Bai and looked up at him.

"You're injured, Qiqi... let me heal you..."

Jiang Bai patted her head. "Thank you, Qiqi, but it's already been treated."

Healing techniques are not omnipotent. Barbara has already done the best she can for her; the rest requires proper rest and recovery.

"Oh......"

Qiqi looked up at his face, then ran into the backyard, grabbed a clean, damp towel, and handed it to him.

"Here, wipe your face."

Jiang Bai took the towel, wiped the dust off his face, and patted off the dust on his body. After tidying himself up, he no longer looked disheveled.

"Qiqi, I'm injured too, can you heal me?" Hu Tao came over with a grin, pointing to a small pimple on her chin and blinking her eyes.

Qiqi turned her head away, "No!"

"Cure it, cure it..." Hu Tao leaned her head over from the other side and shoved it in front of Qi Qi's eyes.

Qiqi immediately hid on Baishu and hugged Baishu's leg.

Bai Shu's eyes curved slightly, her smile exceptionally gentle. "If Mr. Hu mainly wants treatment for his aches and pains, I can help you, but as for the fee..."

"No, no, we're leaving now. See you next time!"

Hu Tao threw Jiang Bai into the wheelchair and pushed it away as fast as she could.

Upon seeing a long staircase in front of him, Jiang Bai gripped the handrail tightly, his face filled with terror. "Slow down! Master!"

Hu Tao came to a stop just in front of the stairs, then lifted the wheelchair with both hands and ran down the stairs.

Jiang Bai's tension did not lessen in the slightest until he landed on the ground, at which point he finally breathed a sigh of relief and slumped into his wheelchair.

He needs to recover quickly, otherwise he really can't take it anymore being pushed around in a wheelchair by the hall master every day...

Jiang Bai, slumped in his wheelchair, said weakly, "Master, let's go back to the Hall of Rebirth. I miss my Sweet Flower Field..."

Jiang Bai immediately received a tap on the back of the head. Hu Tao grabbed his ear and laughed dangerously, "You miss your sweet flowers, but don't you miss your master?"

"Haaaaaah... How could this be! The one I missed the most was you, Master!"

"You're kidding me!" Walnut put her hands on her hips and looked at the little ghost that had suddenly appeared. "Youyou, do you believe that?"

The little ghost shook its head.

"See? Even a ghost wouldn't believe it!" Hu Tao said with a disdainful expression.

Jiang Bai spun around in his wheelchair at lightning speed and made a hasty escape.

As D'Artagnan stood in front of a jade gambling shop, listening to Zhongli explain the ins and outs of the business, he suddenly spotted a familiar figure.

"Isn't that Hall Master Hu?"

Zhongli looked over upon hearing the sound and indeed saw Hu Tao, and Jiang Bai, who was in front of Hu Tao in a wheelchair that was spinning incessantly, as if being chased by a ghost.

Seeing Jiang Bai sitting in a wheelchair, a smile appeared on his lips. "Interesting."

D'Artagnan waved and called out, "Master Hu!"

Upon seeing Zhongli and Dadalia, Hu Tao walked over. "Oh, what a coincidence! Guest Elder, you're here too. Are you gambling on stones? I feel like my luck is pretty good today, can I join you...?"

Seeing that Hu Tao, who had been following behind him, had changed her target and started chatting with a handsome stranger as if they were old acquaintances, Jiang Bai's wheelchair stopped instantly.

He eyed D'Artagnan warily, assessed his potential danger, and then decisively turned his wheelchair and squeezed between them, separating him from Walnut.

He looked at Zhongli curiously, pretending he hadn't done anything, and asked, "Mr. Zhongli, what are you doing?"

Zhongli's gaze fell on his leg, which was covered by a layer of rock. "When did you get back? What happened to your leg?"

"Just got back, a little injured..."

He looked at D'Artagnan and asked in confusion, "And who is this?"
