Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

She stood with her hands behind her back, looking completely nonchalant, as if she had already gotten used to it all.

Jiang Bai was a little taken aback by her act, but he wasn't in the mood to complain. He was completely stunned by the view from this high place.

Lacking any artistic refinement, he struggled for a long time, trying to express his awe in a single sentence, but all he managed to utter was, "So beautiful!"

Thinking he might say something, Hu Tao immediately smacked him on the back of the head, speechless. "Go back and read more books. As a disciple of the Rebirth Hall, you can't be so uncultured!"

"Oh..." Jiang Bai covered his head, looking aggrieved.

Can we blame him for being uneducated?

He's just a poor little guy who's lost his memory!

Chapter 46 On the Ability to Flatter

The elevator slowly rose to the top, and Hu Tao led Jiang Bai out from inside.

There's something I forgot to mention.

"What?" Jiang Bai asked curiously.

"When you go inside and see the lady standing behind the counter, please don't call her 'boss lady'! She's the owner of the inn, and she doesn't like people calling her 'boss lady'."

"Oh?" Jiang Bai tilted his head.

Is there any difference between these two terms?

"Are you stupid!" Hu Tao rolled her eyes at him. "Generally speaking, the boss is the boss, the owner of the inn, while the boss's wife refers to the boss's wife, understand?"

Jiang Bai scratched his head. "I understand."

Aside from the boss himself, who would care about how you address someone?

But it's enough that the boss himself cares.

"The owner is from Mondstadt, named Feldegt, and she married into our Liyue family. Her husband, named Huai'an, is the innkeeper. This Feldegt is quite a capable person; just a few words with her and she can tell you pretty much everything about you..."

"I think I heard someone talking about me?"

The boss, dressed in a wine-red modern cheongsam, walked out of the lobby. The cheongsam had slightly flared sleeves and an umbrella-shaped skirt, with delicate patterns embroidered with fine thread.

She wore black stockings and a pair of silver high heels with gold trim.

She had light blonde hair, tied back in two braids, and beneath the strands of hair framing her forehead were a pair of beautiful brown eyes. These eyes were remarkably clear, seemingly possessing a certain magic that could penetrate the heart.

She crossed her arms, looked at Hu Tao, and had a faint smile on her lips.

"I heard from Yuhua that Hall Master Hu had arrived, and sure enough, I could hear his voice from inside."

"Hey, boss, long time no see!"

"Master Hu last came about half a month ago; it has indeed been a while since we last met."

"And who is this?" Phil Deggart's gaze fell on Jiang Bai.

The young man was quite handsome, with unusual white hair combed back to reveal a bright forehead, and some longer strands hanging down his back. He was dressed in ordinary robes from the Hall of Rebirth, and a Geo Elemental Eye hung at his waist.

At this moment, he tilted his head slightly, observing her with curiosity.

Based on first impressions, this person doesn't seem to be an introvert.

"Jiang Bai is a disciple of our Wangsheng Hall."

“I see.” Phil Deggart looked enlightened, then greeted Jiang Bai.

"This is Brother Jiang's first time here."

“Yes, let’s go out and see the world with the sect leader.” Jiang Bai chuckled.

He wanted to test whether the boss could tell his background in just a few words.

“Then you must stay at our Wangshu Inn a little longer. The scenery up here is quite beautiful. Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. If you want to broaden your horizons, you have to travel more and see more,” Phil Degott said with a smile, seemingly aware of Jiang Bai’s identity.

"Why do I have a feeling that you already know who I am, boss?" Jiang Bai raised an eyebrow.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have told him to walk around and see more.

“You overestimate me. The idea that I can recognize people and things is just praise from outsiders. At most, I’m just more observant and have a better understanding of the local customs and culture of Teyvat…” Phildeggotdet chuckled, not denying it.

Although she lives in Wangshu Inn, she has her own sources of information. The most talked-about strange and unusual person in Liyue Harbor recently is the person who came back to life from the dead in the Hall of Rebirth.

Hu Tao rarely takes people out, and even when she does, they are usually familiar faces.

Upon first seeing a new face, she could easily guess Jiang Bai's identity with just a little guessing.

I didn't expect that this person who has been making headlines recently is also the owner of the Eye of God. But if he weren't, I doubt that Master Hu would value him so much.

"I don't think the praise outsiders give you for running such a large inn so well is unfounded. In fact, I knew from the first glance that you were no ordinary person. How could an ordinary person be as extraordinary as you..."

Jiang Bai showered him with compliments, almost to the point of exaggeration.

"Haha, thank you so much for your kind words, Brother Jiang. I'll give you a discount next time you come to eat here." Everyone likes to hear compliments, and Phil Daigott was no exception.

"No need for next time, how about we get a discount for this meal?"

Jiang Bai grinned and leaned closer, "The owner is beautiful, kind-hearted, and exceptionally capable. She's truly a dragon among men. To be able to run such a large inn so well, it's no exaggeration to say that she's just as capable as any man! Surely such an outstanding, extraordinary, and beautiful owner like Phildegott wouldn't refuse my small request!"

Hu Tao crossed her arms and stared blankly at Jiang Bai showering Phil Deggart with compliments.

For some reason, her hands were itching to give this kid a good slap on the mouth; he could actually talk even more than she could!

"Alright, alright, I'll give you a discount!" Phil Degert's smile deepened. This Jiang Bai was really interesting.

"Alright, alright! Let's go! Let's go eat!" Hu Tao grabbed Jiang Bai by the back of his collar and dragged him forward without saying a word.

"I'm being strangled... Master... Help me..."

"Stop pretending. People with the Eye of God don't die so easily." After reaching the table where they usually sat, Hu Tao rolled her eyes, let go of his collar, and brushed the dust off her hands.

This table offers a fantastic view; you can enjoy the beautiful scenery all around while eating, giving you a sense of satisfaction as if you have the whole world at your feet.

Jiang Bai feigned a cough, looking wronged and pitiful, "I even managed to get a discount on this meal... Master, you're so heartless..."

"What a joke, would I care about such a small amount of money?" Zhongli spends hundreds of thousands of Mora on things, how much does a meal cost?

Jiang Bai's expression changed instantly. He opened his palm and came over with a grin, saying, "Then, Hall Master, could you give me some Mora?"

Hu Tao turned her face away, chin raised, "No way!"

"My Mora didn't just fall from the sky, it's not something you can just give away like that!"

"The sect leader just said he didn't care about this small amount of money..."

"That's different!"

"Why is it different?"

"I'm not giving it to you, I ...!"

“Okay…” Jiang Bai lowered his head, looking dejected.

A cold wind blew by, and Jiang Bai's figure appeared lonely, desolate, and cold.

Seeing Jiang Bai in such a state, Hu Tao, unusually, felt a pang of pity and, clutching her aching conscience, took out a Mora from her pocket and placed it on the table.

"Hmph, I'll give you one at most!"

"Thank you, Hall Master! Long live the Hall Master!" Jiang Bai once again performed a one-click face change, picked up the Mora, and cheered as if he had obtained some treasure.

Hu Tao looked disgusted.

Why does she have such an embarrassing younger brother?

She picked up the teacup on the table and poured herself a cup of tea. Just as she was about to take a sip, she seemed to sense something and looked upstairs.

Chapter 47 Is the Hall Master going to be taken advantage of?

At the top railing, a boy with a terrifying Nuo mask hanging from his waist and a blue diamond pattern carved between his eyebrows stood there, looking in this direction and fixing his gaze on her.

Hu Tao's eyes lit up. Ignoring Jiang Bai, that silly roe deer, she put down her teacup, took a step forward, grabbed the railing, and climbed up.

"Oh my, Great Sage Who Subdues Demons, it's been a long time! I didn't see you the last few times I came here."

“I wasn’t there then.” The young man wasn’t surprised by her sudden visit, but his face remained expressionless, as cold and hard as ice.

"What is it?" he asked softly, arms crossed, as if they were worlds apart, even though he was right in front of him.

Hu Tao didn't mind the distance at all, or rather, she was used to it. She smiled and came closer, warmly inviting, "It's nothing, would you like to have dinner with us? I ordered almond tofu."

"No, too much contact with me won't be good for you. The evil aura on me will affect you." The boy took a step back, putting some distance between himself and her.

"What does it matter! We're not ordinary people! It's just one meal, it won't hurt. I even specially ordered your favorite almond tofu!"

Taking advantage of his momentary lapse in attention, Hu Tao grabbed his arm, shaking it while putting on a pitiful expression: "Just for a meal! Please! Please!"

She learned this trick from Jiang Bai; when it comes to tormenting someone, she admits she's not as good as Jiang Bai.

Hu Tao was only fifteen years old. When she put on a pitiful expression, even someone as cold-hearted as Zhong Li would inevitably soften his heart and agree to her request.

The boy's expression finally shifted. Looking at the hand that had been grabbed, he didn't know whether to shake it off or not.

He was not used to physical contact with people, and no one dared to be as disrespectful to the immortal master as Hu Tao.

But no matter how many times he said the words "disrespectful to the immortal master," Hu Tao just wouldn't change her ways and was overly enthusiastic.

He had known Hu Tao for a long time, and he greatly admired her ability to purify evil spirits. However, no matter how many times they met, he still couldn't handle Hu Tao's overly enthusiastic and lively personality.

Jiang Bai climbed up at this moment, and seeing his master being so attentive to others, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide.

No way! No way! Our sect leader isn't going to get taken advantage of, is he?!

"Master, what is this?"

His astonished expression caught Hu Tao's attention and also drew the gaze of the young man.

His gaze fell on Jiang Bai, and he immediately thought of the shrubs he had planted near the statue. His expression was somewhat complicated.

Hu Tao released Xiao's hand, raised her head high, and proudly introduced him to Jiang Bai: "This is the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons, the Yaksha Immortal who has protected our Liyue for over two thousand years!"

"I don't want to show myself in front of mortals." He said, and was about to disappear when, luckily, Hu Tao was quick and grabbed his clothes.

If it weren't for the need to maintain her image as a leader in front of her underlings, she would have loved to restrain the person like an octopus to prevent them from running away again.

"Oh, it's just a meal! It's just a meal! We're not ordinary people, nothing will happen to us!"

She pointed out Jiang Bai's Eye of God to him and kept pestering him.

Under her relentless mental attacks, the demon-slaying saint finally relented.

"Just this once." His voice carried a sense of helplessness.

This child, apart from having some awe when they first met, was completely helpless against her after that, with one annoying trick after another.

"Hehe, don't worry, I know what I'm doing!" Hu Tao laughed smugly.

As for whether there will be a next time, we'll see!

Jiang Bai climbed up in a daze, then climbed down in a daze, only to find out that the boy was an immortal.

Fortunately, Walnut was quite reliable and took the initiative to introduce herself.

"This is Jiang Bai, a man who came back from the dead. I don't know if you've heard of him."

"Oh? Resurrected from the dead?" The young immortal's indifferent expression finally changed, revealing a rare hint of curiosity.

"That's not entirely accurate. Anyway, I thought he was dead, but he came back to life. When he woke up, he didn't remember anything and is now staying with me in the mortuary."

"That's quite rare..." The young immortal stroked his chin, clearly having rarely seen such a thing either.

Hu Tao turned to Jiang Bai and introduced him: "This is the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons. I just told you, he is the immortal who protects our Liyue. You should show him some respect, understand?"

Jiang Bai rolled his eyes inwardly at Hu Tao's words, which told him to be more respectful.

I haven't seen you show much respect either!

"Just call me Xiao." He prefers to be called by his name by people he knows rather than by the name of the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons.

"Demon-Slaying Master... oh no, Xiao!" Jiang Bai changed his address halfway through, "Have you seen me before?"

He had just seen the indescribable expression on Xiao's face.

Although he was an immortal and looked very cold, Jiang Bai was not afraid of him at all. With Hu Tao beside him, he was even less intimidated.

Therefore, he treated this immortal as an ordinary person, without belittling himself or being obsequious because of his status.
