Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

But they failed, and everything they did became a folly.

Therefore, despite the great sage doing many things for him, he did not harbor much resentment towards the great sage.

It can only be said that even the most hateful person has a pitiable side. He is not a petty person and would not kick someone when they are down.

Honestly, if neither he nor Kong had appeared, perhaps Sumeru would have had to rely solely on the God of the Right Mechanism after becoming a god.

"I wonder how things are going at the Order Academy these past few days. I'll have to go check on it in a few days..."

"You still want to go over there?"

Hu Tao wasn't very happy and had completely forgotten about the cold war she had just been thinking about.

Jiang Bai took Hu Tao's hand and clasped her fingers together.

"There's no other way. The World Tree is related to the entire Teyvat. Since I live here, I can't just leave it unattended."

He wanted Teyvat to be well, wanted to live happily with Kurumi forever, wanted the Hall of Rebirth to continue to exist, and wanted Liyue to remain peaceful forever...

These wishes may not seem grand, but if we want to achieve them, we have to take action.

If the crisis is allowed to continue, one day all the happiness in life will be gone.

This is also why he wants to explore the secrets of this world.

This world has too many secrets, and these secrets have become taboos, yet they are related to every living being living here.

If he wants the people he cherishes and cares about to be well, then he cannot remain here.

"Okay, then remember to protect yourself and make sure nothing like that happens again..."

Hu Tao looked at the hand he was holding, feeling the warmth spreading along her fingers.

Although I don't really want him to leave, everyone should have their own things to do, and that shouldn't be a reason to stop him.

"Even if it's just for the sake of the sect leader, I have to come back safely..."

Jiang Bai smiled gently.

This is his master, the best master.

“I’ll go too,” Ah Mao said.

Although the Faculty only treats him as a tool, that doesn't mean he will abandon the World Tree.

Although he has left that body, he still possesses divine power and is able to enter the World Tree.

Chapter 740 Young people today can't understand

Are you alright?

Jiang Bai was well aware of how fragile his body was right now; even if he rested for three days, he wouldn't be able to return to his peak condition.

Although Kong sent him a message saying that the Doctor had returned to Winter, the Doctor had many slides, so who knows if he went back all of them or just one slide?

It should be understood that the real danger in Sumeru has never been the Church, but the Doctor.

"If we don't fight, there's no problem."

"Okay, I'll make you wear a big cloak to cover your face."

The soldier nodded, not refusing.

He wasn't the kind of person who couldn't see the reality of the situation, and even if he wanted to take revenge on the doctor, it wouldn't be something he could do in a short time.

However, getting a large sum of Mora from the Northern Bank is not a problem.

That evening, Jiang Bai sat in the room flipping through books, trying to come up with a name for Ah Mao.

Ah Mao lay on the roof, using his head as a pillow to look at the stars.

Since making peace with himself, he felt more relaxed than ever before, as if his body had become free and light, ready to spread his wings and fly high at any time.

Although physically weak, his spirit and soul were more fulfilled than ever before.

A chubby little sparrow flapped its wings and flew over, circling the rooftop twice. It seemed to want to land, but it was afraid of the humans on the roof.

Finally, without sensing any danger, it landed and began preening its feathers as if no one else was around.

Ah Mao turned his head to look at the little round bird not far away, and their eyes met.

The little sparrow tilted to one side, tentatively reaching forward with its tiny claws before boldly landing on his shoulder.

Ah Mao found it a bit funny; had he really fallen so low that even a little bird dared to bully him?

"You little fat bird, you've got some nerve..."

He didn't move, letting the little bird use him as a tree trunk to shelter him from the wind.

"Ah Mao! What do you think of this name?"

Jiang Bai excitedly climbed onto the roof, and after flipping through several books of poetry, he finally found a name that he felt was suitable for Ah Mao at the moment.

"What's your name?"

Ah Mao sat up, startling the little sparrow, which flapped its wings and flew away quickly.

"【Hidden tales of the past amidst the floating world, thin snow accompanying flowing flowers.】How about you name yourself 【昔流】? The past flows away with the water, and the present is a bright future."

This name took Jiang Bai a lot of thought. Although it sounds a bit feminine, it does have a very good meaning.

"Let's call it this." Ah Mao thought it was a good name, at least much better than the name he had once given himself, "National Collapse".

"Then I'll still call you Ah Mao normally, it sounds more intimate to use your nickname."

Since Jiang Bai had said so, the scattered soldiers naturally wouldn't refuse.

He prefers the meaning behind a name to the way it is used to refer to him.

With one problem solved, Jiang Bai immediately felt sleepy.

"You can sleep in my bed, remember to go to sleep early."

Ah Mao turned to look at him, "And what about you?"

"With such a large shrine for the deceased, you're worried I won't have a place to sleep?"

Jiang Bai stood on the rooftop, looking at the houses next to him where the lights were still on, his mind completely wandering away.

Jiang Bai slipped to Hu Tao's window and stuck his head out to press against the glass.

Warm yellow light shone from the room, casting deep shadows of trees outside the window. A human face was perched on the windowpane, deliberately baring its teeth, which was quite frightening at first glance.

"Hey! Where did you come from, you monster! Take this from me!"

Hu Tao held a wooden hairpin in her hand, opened the window, and the hairpin struck Jiang Bai on the forehead.

"Ah! I'm dying! Lord Hall Master, spare my life!"

Jiang Bai tilted his head to the side, his eyes rolled back, and he was almost foaming at the mouth.

The little ghost popped out yawning, looked at the two guys playing role-playing games so late at night, shook his head, and thought they were hopeless.

A big sleep bubble popped out of its mouth, and it went back to sleep, still half asleep.

Even ghosts need to sleep.

Walnut rested her chin on her hand, her elbow against the windowsill, tapping the wooden hairpin in her hand idly.

Her long hair hung down her back, and she was still slightly damp. She wore a brown nightgown embroidered with red plum blossoms, and her fair arms were exposed and eye-catching.

She looked at Jiang Bai, her red plum-like eyes carrying a hint of cunning.

"Why are you here so late at night instead of sleeping?"

Jiang Bai put on a pitiful expression, his golden eyes trying to converge into a circle, trembling with watery eyes.

"My bed has been stolen, could you take me in, Master?"

"cannot!"

Nobody would believe a story about their bed being stolen!

"No! Master!"

Jiang Bai grabbed Hu Tao's arm, and Hu Tao couldn't pull away no matter how hard she tried.

"Waaaaah, Master, you can't do this to me!"

"I don't have any extra beds here, so I can't take you in."

"I can sleep on the floor, on the ceiling, it doesn't matter!"

"Then you can sleep on the ceiling tonight, just to see how you sleep."

"Oh my, the master's bedroom is so elegant. Look at this vase, look at these plum blossoms, blooming so beautifully, so delicate and vibrant. But it's a pity, they can't compare to even a fraction of the master's beauty..."

Jiang Bai acted as if it were his first time there, praising everything he saw.

Although Jiang Bai's words were obviously flattery, they were undeniably pleasant to hear.

"Come on, it's like you've never been here before."

Hu Tao tiptoed and reached out to rub his head, making it look like a bird's nest. She then casually placed a small wooden bird from a nearby display shelf onto the shelf.

"Jiangbai brand bird nest, hahahaha, the best choice for birds to build their nests!"

"You wait, Master!"

Jiang Bai covered his hair and turned to rub Hu Tao's head.

Hu Tao's body transformed into a butterfly shadow, and she darted away, thwarting his attempt.

"Hehehe, I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out~"

Hu Tao made a face at him from the other side of the desk and stuck out her tongue.

Sanbing sat on Jiang Bai's roof, resting his chin on his hand, watching the shadows reflected in the windows of the rooms in the neighboring courtyard.

"Why are you playing hide-and-seek so late at night..."

He shook his head, unable to understand the young people of today, and turned to go back to Jiang Bai's room to sleep.

"Hmph, I caught you! You underestimated me!"

Jiang Bai wrapped his arms around Hu Tao's waist and reached out to tickle her sensitive spot.

"Hahahaha, I surrender! I surrender!"

"A bet's a bet, I'm going to braid a bird's nest into your hair too!"

"Make it up then, you think you can get away with that!"

Hu Tao didn't believe Jiang Bai really had that technology.

Jiang Bai got right to work, picked up a comb and started braiding her hair. He tied the ends of the braids with rubber bands and coiled them on top of her head, making them look a bit like a bird's nest.

"Alright, hmph!" After placing the bird on the table, Jiang Bai handed over the mirror.

Hu Tao looked at herself in the mirror. Although her hairstyle was ugly, it was no exaggeration to call it a bird's nest.

"You actually have this skill?"

“It’s very simple!” Jiang Bai smiled smugly.

He would never say that he was so bored in Sumeru that he studied how to braid girls' hair in the void!

Chapter 741 I, Jiang Bai, am a righteous gentleman!

After playing for a while, Jiang Bai combed Hu Tao's hair neatly again.

It has to be said that although advanced knowledge is inaccessible, simple skills like tying hair can be obtained simply by asking in the void, which is quite convenient.

Walnut yawned, feeling a little sleepy from playing.

"The master is going to sleep now. Go find yourself a roof beam..."

"Master, how cruel you are!"
