Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

Looking at his clothes again, they were completely soaked, as if he had been pulled out of the water.

In the end what happened?

Seeing that he didn't react, Hu Tao unbuttoned his coat to see if he was injured.

Just as Hu Tao was about to take off his pants after completely stripping off his shirt, Jiang Bai's eyes finally regained some of their liveliness.

His eyes shifted slightly, his gaze following Hu Tao.

"Master..."

A weak voice came from his mouth.

"Ok?"

His voice was so soft that Hu Tao couldn't hear him at all and had to put her ear close to try and make out what he was saying.

However, what she heard made her wonder if she had misheard.

"Master, please hug me..."

Upon hearing this request, Hu Tao's eyes widened and her cheeks flushed.

Why make this request at a time like this?

She wanted to refuse, but seeing Jiang Bai's vulnerable state, as if something had happened, she couldn't bring herself to say no.

"Just one hug, okay?"

With a flushed face, she helped Jiang Bai up and gently hugged him.

Feeling Hu Tao's warm body temperature, Jiang Bai, who had been exhausted, suddenly regained his strength. He took the initiative and hugged her tightly, as if afraid that she would disappear again in the next second.

His head rested on Hu Tao's shoulder, his voice filled with unspeakable grievance, "Master, you suddenly disappeared, it really scared me to death..."

For Hu Tao, it may not have been long, but for Jiang Bai, every minute was torture.

Especially after recalling those memories...

He felt as if he had returned to that dark and gloomy place, devoid of any light, filled only with endless monsters, so oppressive that it was hard to breathe...

Hu Tao patted his back gently, as if comforting an injured animal, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm here."

After calming him down for a while, Jiang Bai finally let go.

Perhaps finally realizing what he was doing, his ears turned a little red, his gaze darted around, and he dared not look at Hu Tao.

Seeing that his emotions had finally stabilized, Hu Tao asked the reason:

"You were walking just fine, and then you suddenly disappeared. What happened?"

"I suddenly realized you were missing, Master, and I frantically searched everywhere. Then suddenly a voice appeared and said some strange, nonsensical things to me..."

"Is this the reason you've become like this?"

Hu Tao really couldn't understand what words could have made this guy act like this.

That deathly stillness was truly frightening.

Jiang Bai shook his head, "I've regained some of my memories."

"Isn't regaining memories a good thing? Could it be that some unpleasant memories have returned?"

Hu Tao was really curious about Jiang Bai's past, why he faked his death, and why he appeared in the river.

However, she is not the type to delve into things. If the memory is too heavy and dark, it's better not to bring it up.

“Right…” Jiang Bai nodded, without specifying what memories he had regained.

Seeing that he didn't want to talk about it, Hu Tao didn't press him, but simply patted him on the shoulder:

“No matter what happened in the past, that’s all in the past. The key is to live well in the present. You’re a big shot in our Rebirth Hall now, so you can’t afford to have anything happen to you…”

Seeing Hu Tao earnestly comforting him, Jiang Bai gave a faint smile.

"Yes, the past is the past."

"Master..."

"what happened?"

"It's so good to have met you."

"If that's the case, then let's pull ourselves together. We still need to find a way out!"

This mysterious space seemed to have been prepared just for Jiang Bai. Not long after he regained his memories, the thick fog gradually dissipated, and a crack appeared before the two of them.

Without any hesitation, Jiang Bai pulled Hu Tao out through the crack.

As if stepping into some kind of mysterious tunnel, what Jiang Bai saw again was the bright sunshine.

The warm sunshine shone on him, the scent of grass filled the air, and a little bird fluttered its wings as it flew across the blue sky. Seeing such a vibrant scene, Jiang Bai, who had been underground for who knows how long, suddenly felt alive again.

"Ah, this feels so good!" Hu Tao lay down on the grass in a starfish position, enjoying the warm feeling of the sun shining on her body.

Jiang Bai followed suit and lay down next to her, leaving two large marks on the grass.

"So what exactly happened in Liyue Harbor the day I left?"

"The Fools have broken the seal on Lonely Cloud Pavilion, releasing the demon god sealed beneath..."

"And then what? Is Liyue Harbor alright?"

"It's alright, Ningguang used the Jade Pavilion to smash that demon god into the sea..."

"Ningguang actually gave up Qunyu Pavilion..." Hu Tao clicked her tongue, full of admiration for Ningguang.

"Afterwards, the immortal returned to the mountains, and the government of Liyue Harbor was handed over to Ningguang. Then, the grandest farewell ceremony in history came to a perfect end..."

"It's such a pity I can't participate in the Sending-Off-Immortals Ceremony..." Hu Tao sighed.

She had originally planned to co-host the Sending-Off-the-Immortals Ceremony with Zhongli, but plans changed.

"If the head priest feels it's a pity, we can hold a small-scale ceremony at the Rebirth Hall again..."

Jiang Bai did not tell Hu Tao Zhongli's true identity.

Because Zhongli forbade it to be said.

Hu Tao only thought Zhong Li was an immortal. If she knew that the Rock King Emperor was her guest minister, she would probably be strutting around like crazy.

Besides, not telling Hu Tao would be better for them to get along.

After all, if he knew that Zhongli was actually Prince Yan, he would inevitably feel guilty when ordering Zhongli to do things.

To ensure the head of the household can comfortably order the old man around, it's best not to let her know.

"That won't be necessary; it would be too much trouble and a waste of money," Hu Tao said, rejecting the idea.

Sending off the immortals is a custom; having already held a large ceremony, holding a smaller one inevitably leads to formalism.

The most important thing is the sentiment. If the sentiment is there, it is the same to send off Lord Yan in front of the Seven Heavens statue.

"Where am I?" Jiang Bai, having had enough of lying down, sat up on the grass and looked around, not recognizing where he was for a moment.

Hu Tao recognized the place immediately: "This is on the mountain east of Wuwang Slope. A pure water spirit lives in the lake below."

"So this is where it is..."

"Let's go back early. Master, you still need to have your injuries checked at Bubulu, just in case."

"Ah."

Hu Tao nodded, and the two of them unfurled their wings of wind and flew towards the foot of the mountain.

After they left, Daines Reeb emerged from a crack and watched Jiang Bai's disappearing figure from afar.

Chapter 320 The Hall Master is the Most Important!

"Mr. Bai Shu, come quickly and take a look at our hall master!"

Upon returning to Liyue Harbor, Jiang Bai immediately took Hu Tao to Bubulu.

Both of them were travel-worn and went straight to Bai Shu upon arriving at Bubu Lodge.

"What's wrong with Hall Master Hu?"

Bai Zhu looked at them with a puzzled expression, gently placing her fingers on Hu Tao's pulse.

Not long after, he raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised, "Master Hu's injuries are quite serious."

"Why would I come here if I wasn't injured?" Jiang Bai muttered under his breath, but since the other party was treating Hu Tao, he didn't dare to say it out loud.

"How serious is the hall master's condition? How should we treat him?" Jiang Bai asked anxiously, afraid that he might say something Jiang Bai didn't want to hear.

"It's just excessive blood loss, a minor problem," Bai Shu said with a slight smile, his voice calm and unhurried.

For Hu Tao, this injury was hardly a difficult case; it was just a minor issue.

"Let me see the wound on your hand." Bai Shu gestured for Hu Tao to extend her hand, took her hand in his, and unwrapped the bandage to examine the cut on her palm.

Jiang Bai's gaze fell on Bai Shu's hands, but he said nothing.

Bai Zhu glanced at it briefly and said, "The cut isn't deep, and it's healing quite well."

A green, healing energy emanated from his palm, and the cut on Walnut's hand quickly healed.

Seeing his wound heal quickly, Jiang Bai felt relieved.

Unfortunately, neither wind nor rock is suitable for healing, otherwise he would definitely have researched how to use elemental power to heal injuries.

"The sect leader also has a wound on his back from being scratched by a demon. The demon's claws were coated with poison, and the area around the wound turned black. I had no choice but to cut away the blackened flesh. I don't know if the poison has spread..."

Jiang Bai was most worried about this wound.

Hu Tao took off her coat and pulled her inner garment down along the right side, revealing a section of her shoulder.

The shoulder was wrapped in bandages, which ran all the way from the other armpit, completely covering the area.

Jiang Bai used a knife to cut open the bandages wrapped around his shoulder, and the bandages fell loosely, revealing the wound on his right shoulder blade.

Because a portion of flesh had been cut off, the wound was quite large, with the flesh turned outwards, making it look very gruesome.

Several days have passed since the wound started bleeding, and whether it's due to the poison on the corpse puppet's fingernails or not, the wound shows no signs of healing.

Bai Shu carefully removed the remaining medicine residue from the wound with tweezers, asking, "What kind of monster is it?"

"It's a corpse puppet." Hu Tao didn't hide anything.

Hearing this, Bai Shu was genuinely surprised. "Oh? It's actually something like that?"

Obviously, without Hu Tao explaining, he knew what it was.

After carefully examining the wound, Bai Shu said softly, "It was treated promptly, so it's not a big problem."

His attitude reassured Hu Tao and Jiang Bai.

It's good that the problem isn't serious. I'm just worried that the toxins are deeply buried in the body, and there's no cure.

Bai Zhu took out several silver needles, the fine needles as thin as cow hair, and precisely inserted them into several acupoints.

A green glow emanated from his fingertips. He pointed downwards, and the silver needle trembled violently. Soon after, black blood flowed from the wound.

This is residual toxin accumulated in the walnut.

He put away the silver needles, and in the green light, he stroked the wound, which slowly healed.

"I'll prescribe a few doses of medicine to decoct, and after a few days, the remaining toxins in his body will be completely cleared. I'll also prescribe a blood-tonifying formula; with Master Hu's physical condition, he should recover to normal in just a few days..."

"Thank you for your help..." Hu Tao breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Shu smiled and said, "No trouble at all, just pay the consultation fee."

In a good mood and with a full wallet, Jiang Bai generously gave double the consultation fee!

When did you become so generous?

Hu Tao was quite surprised by Jiang Bai's generous behavior when she left Bubulu.

You have to understand that Jiang Bai is the kind of person who would constantly chase after travelers even if they borrowed 10,000 Mora. This feels a bit like seeing the sun rise in the west.

"To me, your safety is the most important thing, Master. It's worth spending any amount of money!"

Jiang Bai looked at her and said something flirtatious in a serious tone.

Walnut raised an eyebrow. "More important than Mora?"
