Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

However, when he saw the sentence that Wan Liangji had written, his heart ached.

Whether it's Katis, Wanliangji, Diluc, or many others, what happens to their bodies after death is not important to them.

There are always some things that are more important than life itself.

And this hope, which is more precious than life itself, is now in his hands.

Perhaps, this is the true meaning of their business.

Chapter 345 My duty is to do my best.

At this point, the whole story has been explained.

Jiang Bai carefully put the papers into a wooden box and went outside the tent to collect Wan Liangji's body.

More than half a month has passed since the Demon God Osel wreaked havoc in Liyue. During this time, the adventurer has been staying here, and his body can no longer withstand it.

Jiang Bai found a sharp dagger hidden inside his clothes, close to his skin, on his arm.

Clearly, this was something he planned to use to commit suicide if things went wrong.

Jiang Bai carefully prepared his remains, packed his belongings, wrapped him in a straw mat, and placed him in the Sanqing Bell in preparation for taking him back to the Hall of Rebirth for cremation.

Wan Liangji didn't have many requirements regarding the handling of his remains. Jiang Bai planned to cremate him and bury him at Tianheng Mountain, so that he could see Liyue Harbor every day.

"What should we do with these people and this place?" Jiang Bai asked Ye Lan.

“Now that this place has been opened, there is no need to close it again. I will arrange for the Thousand Rock Army to be stationed here and record the situation here every day.”

Yelan toyed with a delicate die, looking at the group of fools she had trapped.

"The Fatui troops stationed outside must evacuate. At the same time, the General Affairs Department will review you. After passing the review, you can continue your research, but the research process and results must be made public to Liyue, and must be conducted under our supervision..."

The research conducted by the Fools is exactly what Liyue needs and is beneficial to everyone.

Five hundred years have passed since the Dark Calamity swept across the land, but that does not mean the calamity has disappeared. On the contrary, these calamities have always existed, only they have been suppressed in little-known places.

The group of fools exchanged glances, and finally the eldest of them spoke, as he was the one in charge here.

"We're afraid we can't make that decision ourselves; we need to report it to [Doctor] for approval first."

"You can report it to the General Affairs Department later."

Not long after, a large contingent of the Thousand Rocks army arrived at Dunyu Mausoleum. All the researchers in the cave were taken away, including the one who had been knocked unconscious by Yelan's water arrow at the beginning.

All research materials and data have been temporarily sealed and will be inspected and studied by specialists later.

Jiang Bai stood outside Dunyu Mausoleum, looking at the now-defunct Dunyu Mausoleum, feeling somewhat melancholy.

The Chiyan Army has been incredibly busy lately, but thankfully nothing serious has happened here, and everything is under control.

"Please don't spread information about what happened here. Someone will ask you to sign a confidentiality agreement later," Ye Lan said.

"Huh?" Jiang Bai hesitated, "But Wan Liangji's last wish, which he registered at the Hall of Rebirth, was for me to bring back his research materials and record the story of Dunyu Mausoleum in his unfinished book..."

Wouldn't that make it impossible to achieve?

Ye Lan thought for a moment, "Then how about this, let's cut out some confidential content, like the fragments of the celestial star and the dark rift, and not include them in the book..."

Yelan was not an unfeeling person. To fulfill the adventurer's last wish, she was willing to make some concessions, but that was all.

"Ok."

Jiang Bai was helpless. After all, the book still had to be reviewed by the General Affairs Department before it could be published. If the General Affairs Department blocked its publication after it was written, it would be difficult to deal with.

Ye Lan tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and looked at him with a smile, "You're a little different from what I imagined."

"Oh? What's the difference?"

Ye Lan shook her head, not saying anything different, but simply said, "I investigated you, and even found some clues about your background."

Jiang Bai raised his eyes. "What did you find out?"

"Before you were pulled out of the river, you should have been in the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain."

Ye Lan looked towards the direction of the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain. From here, the specific appearance of the snow mountain could no longer be seen; only the towering outline of the snow mountain pierced into the clouds.

"According to the investigation, a huge tremor occurred in the southwest direction of the snow mountain around that time. Some people saw a blond person sitting on the Ruins Guardian, and later they also found the footprints of a huge Ruins Guardian..."

After Ye Lan finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Bai, not missing any expression on his face.

"Do you remember anything?"

Jiang Bai frowned, sensing that this contained a significant amount of information.

The sight of the blond man sitting atop the ruins guardian inexplicably reminded him of Kong; any one of those keywords was enough to draw attention.

"I've also investigated my own origins, and combined with your investigation, I think I was probably frozen in the ice of the snow mountain. That huge tremor was probably the reason I fell into the river and entered Liyue..."

"More than that, I don't know. I have no idea why I was frozen in the snow-capped mountains..."

Jiang Bai actually knew, but that didn't mean he was going to say it.

It's not a good thing for them to know that he has regained his memory.

"It seems the trail has gone cold..."

Ye Lan tossed the dice in her hand, which spun and flew through the air before she caught it.

She opened her hand and saw that it was exactly six o'clock.

"Thank you for telling me this. I will continue to investigate these leads."

After saying goodbye to Ye Lan, Jiang Bai prepared to return to the Hall of Rebirth.

Watching his retreating figure, Ye Lan clicked her tongue.

"Tsk, it seems they've been hiding something... But as long as it doesn't harm Liyue, I'm not particularly interested in pursuing it..."

Jiang Bai returned to the Hall of Rebirth in the evening.

Hu Tao was somewhat surprised that Jiang Bai had returned so quickly.

"You're back so soon? Are you done with work?"

"Yes. Something happened over there. I'll tell you about it later, Master."

Jiang Bai arrived at the crematorium and took out Wan Liangji's body. Wan Liangji's body was already cold and stiff, but he looked as if he were asleep, as if he were still alive.

Jiang Bai carefully wiped the dust off his face, shaved his beard, trimmed the messy hair at his sideburns, and combed his hair into a neat and tidy style.

After washing the body clean, trimming the nails, and changing it into a new set of clothes, Jiang Bai placed the refreshed body into the furnace.

The fire swept through, obscuring Jiang Bai's view.

Jiang Bai stood in front of the stove for a while, then left.

Hu Tao was drinking tea in the hall when she saw him come over, and poured him a cup of tea.

"Are you done with work?"

"Hmm." Jiang Bai sat down beside him and drank the tea in his cup in one gulp.

I still felt thirsty after finishing one cup, so I poured myself a few more.

Hu Tao swung her legs, resting her chin on her hand as she looked at him. "It seems you've gained quite a few insights from this trip."

"Yes."

Jiang Bai looked out the window at the darkening sky, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"In this life, there are always things more important than life itself, and my duty is to do my best..."

Chapter 346 Legal Expert Yan Fei

"Be born at the moment of birth, die at the moment of death, follow your heart, and do your best."

Hu Tao patted his shoulder, looking like someone who had been through it all, and said, "This is something my grandfather often said: Jiang Xiaobai, you've grown up."

"You've grown? I guess so." Jiang Bai smiled and drank another cup of tea.

"Tell me what exactly happened."

"Hmm." Jiang Bai recounted the events of the day in detail.

Although Ye Lan told us not to tell outsiders, the Hall Master is not an outsider.

"So much has happened..." Hu Tao sighed after hearing what had happened.

"This is a person worthy of respect."

The next morning, Jiang Bai brought Wan Liangji's ashes and walnuts to Tianheng Mountain.

The weather is lovely today; the sun is shining brightly, and a gentle breeze is blowing through the mountains.

Jiang Bai found a spot with an excellent view and beautiful scenery, dug a pit, and put the urn inside.

He used the rock element to erect a tombstone and engraved the adventurer's name on it.

He also left behind a message.

This was a great adventurer who saved Liyue from a catastrophe.

Hu Tao lit three incense sticks, bowed three times, and then placed them in front of the new grave.

A gentle breeze swept through the mountains, rustling the grass and wildflowers beside the grave. The flowers and grasses danced in the wind, and wisps of incense smoke drifted into the sky.

And Qingfeng left without any lingering attachment.

Jiang Bai wiped away the fragments left by the inscription on the tombstone, stood up and looked down at the bustling Liyue Harbor below.

This world is not peaceful. It is because countless great people have kept danger at bay that Liyue Harbor has achieved its current prosperity and stability.

After leaving Tianheng Mountain, Jiang Bai and Hu Tao continued to handle the follow-up matters.

This adventurer owns a property in Liyue Harbor, has no children, and his partner passed away many years ago.

But I do have quite a few relatives, such as older brothers, sisters, nephews, and nieces.

However, the elderly man did not specify in the contract how his estate would be handled after his death.

It's certainly not acceptable to handle it without authorization, but we also can't just leave it unattended.

Hu Tao went directly to Liyue's legal expert, Yan Fei.

There are many legal consultants in Liyue, after all, Liyue has too many laws. Whether doing business or going to court, you need to understand the law, but there are too many laws and they are too difficult to learn. Therefore, legal consultants have become the first choice for people.

If asked who is best at handling such complex matters, the first person that comes to Hu Tao's mind is Yan Fei.

Although the price is a bit high, her business skills are strong and the results are good. Entrusting her with handling these troublesome inheritances can save them a lot of trouble.

Yan Fei has her own residence and office, and most of the time, you can find her directly at her office.

"Hey, Yanfei! I have a client who needs your help with the distribution of his estate after his death."

Yan Fei looked up from her desk and saw Hu Tao and Jiang Bai entering the room.

"It's Master Hu! What a rare guest! Please have a seat."

Jiang Bai's gaze fell on the girl who had stood up.

This legal expert named Yan Fei was very different from what he had imagined. He had thought that a legal expert would be a mature and capable person, but he did not expect that she was also a young girl.

However, this girl looked much older than Hu Tao, and judging from the antlers on her head that looked like scallions, she was either an immortal or a hybrid of immortals.

As a result, it becomes even more impossible to tell someone's age from their appearance.

Yan Fei poured tea for the guest. "Master Hu just said he needs my help with the distribution of the inheritance?"

“That’s right.” Hu Tao clapped her hands and looked at Jiang Bai. Jiang Bai readily took out the contract between Wan Liangji and their Rebirth Hall and placed it in Hu Tao’s hands.

Hu Tao opened the contract and handed it to Yan Fei.

“This old man has passed away. He has no children or partner. The deed states that his remaining Mora will be used for the publication and distribution of his books. However, he owns a property, and there is no explanation on how to handle it. We can only contact you.”

"If it's just about the distribution of the inheritance, then it's simple."

As Yan Fei spoke, she carefully examined the contents and came to a conclusion.

For now, all she has to deal with is the distribution of the property, which is much easier than complicated family disputes, child custody, or issues related to visiting the elderly.

However, there are some challenges. After all, once the old man's death is known, his brothers, sisters, nephews, and nieces might all appear and try to seize the property in Liyue Harbor.

People have varying degrees of closeness or distance, but once someone is dead, these things are impossible to know.
