Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

After washing up, Jiang Bai handed Hu Tao a peeled egg.

"Master, what do you think of my appearance?"

Hu Tao glanced at his face.

His eyebrows were arched, his eyes were like stars, and his gaze was bright and sunny.

"It's okay."

Actually, it's pretty good.

But you can't say that, or he'll get all cocky.

"Who do you think is the most handsome/charming person you know?"

Hu Tao thought about it seriously for a moment, "Emmm, the old man, I guess..."

Jiang Bai remained silent.

He really can't compare to the old man.

"And the second one?"

Without hesitation, Hu Tao replied, "The Immortal Xiao!"

"Third!" Jiang Bai gritted his teeth.

It should be his turn to be third!

"Diluc of Mondstadt, he exudes the air of a wealthy man."

"And what about fourth..." Jiang Bai said dejectedly.

"Manyo, as free as the wind, as gentle as a poem..."

Jiang Bai was about to cry.

He felt that if he kept asking, he would be discouraged.

Yi Dou patted his shoulder reassuringly, "Don't worry, you're second to me."

Who is number one?

Of course it's him—Araki, the most handsome man in the world, Ichito!

Jiang Bai rolled his eyes.

Hu Tao smiled slyly, "Come on, ah."

Jiang Bai subconsciously opened his mouth, and a yolk was stuffed into it.

"Don't be discouraged, you're fifth!"

Jiang Bai immediately felt comforted.

Thankfully, he ranks in the top five among handsome and charismatic people.

As Yidou chewed on the meat pie, he asked somewhat vaguely, "What were those strange actions and strange words you mentioned earlier?"

Jiang Bai, somewhat embarrassed and angry, shoved an egg into his mouth.

"Just eat yours!"

Why would a ghost have such a strong curiosity?

Jiang Bai's behavior only fueled Yi Dou's curiosity. He ate the egg in two smacking sounds and then leaned over to ask Hu Tao.

"Boss, what strange things did he do earlier?"

Walnut didn't want to talk.

Just thinking about her fists makes my skin crack.

She still can't figure out what got into him.

Seeing that this guy was determined to get an answer, Jiang Bai tossed him a light novel.

"I just learned some lines from the main character in this book. If you want to learn them, go read it yourself."

Light novels?

Hu Tao glanced at it and was immediately taken aback by the spicy title.

What on earth is this guy looking at all day?!

Hu Tao tossed him a book with a complicated expression, "I have a book called '500 Poems' here. Study it well and try to be able to recite poems on the spot like this master one day."

"Oh……"

Jiang Bai pouted and put the poetry collection away.

Fujiwara Toshiko sat to one side, completely out of place with the three of them.

She couldn't join their conversation, and she wasn't that familiar with them.

She began, "Everyone, let's set off after we finish eating, and try to find it today."

"no problem!"

Jiang Bai was also very curious about what the treasure was.

The group followed Fujiwara Toshiko around the island, eventually returning to her old house, which was located just below the open space where Jiang Bai and the others ate and slept.

By opening a mechanism on the ground in a specific way, a downward passage is revealed.

Below was a basement, and as soon as you opened it, a rotten smell hit your nostrils.

This place hasn't been opened for hundreds of years, and the things that were once stored here have long since decayed.

Jiang Bai used the wind to bring in a wave of fresh air before going downstairs.

The basement was completely exposed, and perhaps it once held some valuable items, but they have all decayed over time.

"The treasure must be in this box!"

Toshiko Fujiwara headed straight for the box that clearly contained a treasure.

"Why is there only one painting?" Toshiko Fujiwara was dumbfounded.

She traveled all this way and all that trouble, only to find that the treasure was just a painting?

She's completely devastated!

Jiang Bai glanced at the box, which was empty except for the painting.

The fact that such a large box contained only one painting suggests that the painting was very valuable to the person who placed it there.

"Open the painting and take a look."

Fujiwara Toshiko nodded and unfolded the painting completely.

The scroll gradually revealed its full appearance.

This is a family photo.

The family in the painting sits at their doorstep, bathed in sunlight, as if time has stood still at that moment.

"This……"

Toshiko Fujiwara was speechless for a moment.

The painting was neither precious nor precious to her.

What makes it precious is that she found the painting with great difficulty, and it records the stories of her ancestors.

"Not precious" means that the painting is of no use to her.

Her family had long since fallen on hard times, and both her parents had passed away. She still had a few uncles and aunts, but she hadn't seen them for several years.

Jiang Bai patted her shoulder, without saying anything about sharing it, and said, "Keep it safe."

Toshiko Fujiwara sighed and carefully put the painting away.

She was a little embarrassed. "I'm sorry, we agreed to share half of the treasure with you, but the treasure is just a painting..."

“I still have some Mora on me, I’ll use that as payment.”

"Row."

Although somewhat disappointed with the treasure, Jiang Bai did not refuse Mora.

"What a wasted day..." Ichidou was very disappointed.

I've been searching all day, and this is all I get?

Hu Tao patted him on the shoulder, "This is the life of an adventurer; not finding treasure is a common occurrence."

Only a very few adventurers can find treasure amidst countless hardships and become rich overnight, but most adventurers, after much effort, find only useless things and remain poor and destitute.

Chapter 542 Hall Master, I Won!

"I knew becoming a thug was the right decision!" Ichidou pulled out a comb and combed his hair, looking quite proud.

Hu Tao smirked, "If you're going to make being a thug a profession, there's really no need for that..."

Upon leaving the basement, the group was immediately surrounded by a gang of treasure hunters.

The leader of the treasure-hunting gang was menacing, the large hammer in his hand gleaming with a cold light.

"Hand over the treasure!"

They've had their eyes on Toshiko Tengyuan since yesterday, just waiting for her to find the treasure so they can take advantage of her.

"There's no treasure, just a painting!" Toshiko Fujiwara was very frustrated.

"Enough talk, hand over the treasure!"

Jiang Bai shoved Yi Dou forward, "Go, Yi Dou, beat them down."

"Why should I go? Why don't you go yourself?" Ito said, looking annoyed.

Jiang Bai's eyes widened. "I'm giving you a chance to practice! Do you want the sect leader to do it himself?"

Yi Dou remained silent.

Yi Dou pulled out his weapon.

One punch knocked out the leader.

The entire treasure-hunting gang was stunned by Yi Dou's actions.

The treasure-hunting gang, crying and wailing, carried their leader away.

Not long after, a group of sea monsters appeared here.

"Hand over the treasure!"

Toshiko Fujiwara scratched her hair in frustration.

"There's no treasure, it's just a painting!"

The exact same lines, the exact same posture, made Jiang Bai's lips twitch.

Seeing a few familiar faces, he stepped out from behind Ichidou.

“Jiang…Jiang Bai…”

Kenichiro, whom I met on Hachiyun Island, had a tongue that was tied in knots.

"It's a misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!"

He hurriedly and awkwardly waved his hand, and the henchmen behind him also awkwardly put down their knives.

Jiang Bai glanced at them; all the brothers were there, and they looked much more energetic than when they were on Bayun Island.

"It seems you're living quite well on Qinglai Island."

"It's alright. Although we can't see the sun and there's a risk of being struck by lightning, at least it's not polluted by the evil spirits of Bayun Island."

Their information network is too closed off, and they are still unaware that Bayun Island has returned to normal.

"The war has ended, and the evil spirit of Ba Yun Island has been sealed away."

"Huh?" The wandering samurai were a little confused.

They traveled a long way to Qinglai Island, only to find that Bayun Island had already returned to normal?
