"Hmm?"
Hu Tao opened her eyes and looked confused when she saw the unfamiliar ceiling.
where is this place?
Why am I here?
"Hey, little girl, are you awake?"
Grandma Ping looked at Hutao with a smile: "Come over for breakfast when you wake up. If nothing else, the breakfast at Mora Paradise may indeed be more in line with the tastes of young people."
"Grandma Ping, are you here too?"
Hu Tao was even more surprised, but also relieved. She straightened up from the bed with disheveled hair and rubbed her eyes.
"Ugh, I'm so sleepy. Aren't I still in Guiliyuan and exorcising demons with the Great Sage? Why did I suddenly fall asleep?"
Grandma Ping was speechless for a moment, mainly because she didn't know how to explain.
Sanqiu's sealing technique seems to be a bit heavy-handed.
Now that things have happened, it seems that the only option left is to make up random things. Why did I refuse the coupon for the Rebirth Hall in the first place? Then I can just give a random reason.
"My child, have you forgotten that after returning from the demon slayer, you were interested in Sanqiu's child's treasury, so you said goodbye to the great sage and ran over to find a room to live in."
Hu Tao tilted her head while holding the pillow, really?
Well, if you think about it this way, it seems like it's really something you can do.
"But Grandma Ping, why are you here?"
Grandma Ping smiled kindly: "The Great Sage didn't care about your actions at first, but then I thought about it and felt that it was not safe for a little girl like you to stay in such a big place, so I asked me to come over."
"Oh."
Hu Tao hit his forehead on the quilt, then raised his head and repeated the action a few more times.
"I'm causing you trouble."
"But the Great Sage is indeed like Qiuqiu said. Although he looks cold and difficult to get along with, he is also a caring person."
Hu Tao shook his head and almost lay down again.
"But this isn't Qiuqiu's treasury. It should be very safe."
"Silly boy, the premise that this place is safe is that Sanqiu is here. He hasn't come back yet."
A confused look appeared in Hu Tao's eyes.
"No, I clearly remember seeing Qiuqiu."
Grandma Ping was a little surprised: "Have you seen it?"
"Yes, not long ago."
Hu Tao clapped her hands: "Oh no, I remembered it. I haven't seen it before. It was Sister Ningguang who told me that Qiuqiu was back."
"It seems that he found someone to hold a meeting as soon as he came back. He also transferred a group of people from the Ten Gold Club to prepare for the crime, but he really didn't see anyone."
Black eats black.
Although he described himself a bit strangely, Sanqiu probably really planned to do so at that time.
Grandma Ping smiled: "Okay, kid, go back to the Hall of Rebirth after breakfast. As the hall leader, I guess there are still a lot of things waiting for you to do."
"If you want to find a room here in the future, you should wait until Sanqiu's kid comes back and discuss it with him. It's best to tell you about the security measures."
"Alas, it's a pity that the master of this hall has a beautiful face and a long life, but he has to waste his time on these things. The guests at home only know how to spend money and don't care about anything."
Hutao quickly put on her clothes, took Grandma Ping's arm and left the room with a smile, like a pair of grandparents and grandchildren who have a good relationship.
After leaving the treasury and saying goodbye to Grandma Ping, Hutao came to a mountain in the wild without saying a word, and slowly took out a token from his arms.
The originally shining golden "Order to Serve the Holy Monarch of the Fallen Holy Silence" completely lost its luster, and even the token itself felt as if it had been left in the dust and marinated for a hundred and eighty years.
Hu Tao's heart sank.
"Sure enough, something happened."
There are two things wrong.
First, no matter how good the relationship is, it is absolutely impossible for him to go to the treasury alone without making it clear to Qiuqiu in advance. Even if it is still some distance from Liyue Port, doesn't Mora Paradise have guest rooms?
I just thought that it was something I would do. One reason was to confuse Grandma Ping, and the other reason was that I was really sleepy and couldn't react.
This was definitely not ordinary sleep, it was probably a form of Chinese magic, and the person who performed it was either Qiuqiu or Grandma Ping.
Second, that’s the token.
This is a good thing that can keep you warm in winter and cool in summer, even more powerful than some precious magic weapons to a certain extent.
Even if you don't put it in your arms, at most it should be placed on the bedside table next to it, so that you can reach it when you turn over and reach out when you wake up.
But today, while eating breakfast in a daze, Hutao touched the token with half-closed eyes, and was completely startled awake in an instant.
The token is cold, like the feeling of walking in a deep ruins and reaching into the underground veins.
She is the seventy-seventh generation hall leader who has passed away in a dignified manner, not some silly girl.
It looks weird, but it's just because the people around you who can chat with you are basically acquaintances, so you don't need to wear any formulaic mask at all.
"Qiuqiu, there must be a big problem with you, right? Otherwise, how could you avoid me in that way?"
Hu Tao subconsciously touched the surface of the token, and two more tears fell down. She felt like something was tugging at her heart.
In a daze, she seemed to see Gu Sanqiu standing in front of her with his eyes wide open and a dull expression.
It seemed like it was raining heavily and the wind was blowing hard.
"It seems like I still can't hide it."
Yao Luo Weng subconsciously began to lick his paws: "But that's right, even if it is broken into pieces, the actual changes are still maintained."
The essential things have not been changed, just like Gu Sanqiu is still lying in the river of fire. What has been changed is only the memory and the records in the earth's veins.
"How long can I hide it?"
Grandma Ping shook her head: "The little girl will either go to Qunyu Pavilion or go directly to Sanqiu's house. The black shadow will not stop these two people."
"As for how long it can be hidden, it depends on whether the emperor and the others have other plans."
Yao Luo Weng frowned and said, "Well, how about transferring it? Just transfer it directly to Taishan Mansion. We can now lay out the raw stone veins in advance."
"This seems to be a solution."
Grandma Ping sighed: "Well, the price this time is a bit too high. I hope Sanqiu can wake up soon. With physical evidence as proof, it is impossible to hide it from those two already very smart children."
Liyue was still playing hide and seek, while a small-scale commotion started on the Abyss side.
The black dragon vented some of its pent-up power, but the result was a collective riot of Warcraft in the surrounding area, running out like crazy, as if they had a premonition that an earthquake was coming.
The monsters further away that were not affected immediately felt unhappy.
Who are you to come here and grab my territory?
Not to mention brothers.
Let’s kill!
This beast riot had such a wide range of influence that it was extremely rare even in the records of the Abyss Order.
Not to mention anything else, even the monsters that were still fighting against Zhidong and other forces on the front line would occasionally be swallowed up by the monsters that ran out from some nooks and crannies.
If the turmoil of the beast herd is only aimed at monsters, the ground forces may be able to directly advance the battle line a lot this time.
