Original God, I, the prince of Liyue, do not want to inherit the throne

Chapter 278: Walnut's Persistent Method

In the inner world, Guizhong looked at Morax with a shocked expression, and Morax's expression also sank. He couldn't help but look at the other self in front of the screen. He suddenly felt that some shackles were about to be broken, but he quickly recovered because of Guizhong's attack.

"Morax, is that guy who's worried about money really you? And the way you take it for granted that you're keeping the bills makes you look like a social outcast who has never seen the world."

Guizhong sensed and accurately said one of Zhongli's famous nicknames. As the person closest to Morax and the one who has been together the longest, Guizhong had absolute confidence and said the correct answer.

Morax was silent. He was a little confused about why the person in front of the screen had become like that. However, when he saw himself in that casual posture, he couldn't help but recall his life of revising articles day and night, and he couldn't help but feel a little eager.

Gui Zhong saw through Morax's thoughts at a glance, but she didn't care. It wasn't a bad thing anyway, and it could give Morax an excuse to take a break.

However, the idea was beautiful, and Morax's restlessness was quickly suppressed, because if he was really as idle as himself in another time and space, Liyue would not be able to last long without the Seven-Star System. Even with management, it could only be stable for a hundred years, and if there were any problems, he would still have to be supported.

So if you want to slack off like yourself thousands of years later, the prerequisite for everything is to clean up all the systems and cultivate trustworthy people to help share the pressure.

Perhaps the self in that time and space was too busy, so he came up with the system of Seven Stars and Eight Gates to manage all the big and small issues in Liyue.

And according to the sound intelligence that Ye Li heard when he was on the road, as the big boss, I only need to point the way in one direction every year, which saves time and effort, and I can also do some slacking off. I really am worthy of being myself.

Morax thought about these questions in his mind, and Guizhong beside him also thought of the same questions. He looked at Morax with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

In the end, based on the situation, it can be speculated that Morax is not damaged by wear and tear nowadays, and he basically won't slack off. It doesn't matter if he is released from his duties a thousand years later. Anyway, there will be Xiaoli by then, so the inheritance position can be given to him. After all, all those years of training cannot be wasted.

Gui Zhong was thinking so in his heart, but Ye Li in the projection screen shuddered inexplicably. A kind of light work pressure arose from his heart. He looked towards the world with a nervous face, and immediately felt relieved.

……

In the next time and space, in the continent of Teyvat, Liyue, in the private room of Wanmin Hall.

Hu Tao smiled at Ye Li, who suddenly became nervous and relieved. Her eyes drifted to Zhong Li, who had just finished his meal and was about to have another one. Seeing their similar faces and the similar movements of holding tea, she couldn't help but wonder:

"Guest Zhongli, take a closer look. You and this young man Yeli look quite similar. Except for the difference in eyes and hair color, you look like you were cast from the same mold. If I hadn't confirmed with my own eyes that you didn't know each other, I would have suspected that you were relatives of the eight generations of branch families."

"You are wrong, Hall Master. I don't have any relatives. But this friend Ye Li is very similar to an old friend of mine. The mechanical box he is holding has traces of ancient mechanical technology. If I hadn't observed it for a long time, I wouldn't have been able to tell at once."

Zhongli intended to change the subject and pointed the finger directly at Ye Li. This method was very simple and crude. The topic he directed clearly wanted to know Ye Li's identity. After all, his face and hair color were quite similar to his own and even Gui Zhong's, just like their offspring. This made him have to pay attention.

"Eh? Even a learned guest official can sometimes miss something. It seems like you, Brother Ye Li, have no choice but to come to our Wangsheng Hall to make a coffin."

"Wait, Master Hu Tao, I haven't agreed yet. Besides, mechanical engineering is just my side job. I haven't decided on a job yet. It's really inappropriate for you to be so hasty."

Ye Li felt very upset. It would have been fine if he had just paid for the meal, but Hu Tao even invited him over for a meal. There was nothing wrong with that, but why did she let Zhong Li sit at the door? The purpose was too obvious.

And looking at Zhongli's eyes, he might not be able to run away today. Even if he runs away, he will be caught. That would be a self-destruction. Not to mention his personality, it would just collapse.

After all, as long as he used the elemental power, the familiar yet unfamiliar aura would definitely make Zhongli keep him firmly by his side until he got all the information, and then there would be a chance that he would let him go.

There was no other way, Ye Li could only continue to maintain his mortal disguise and deal with the various tricky questions raised by Zhongli, the difficulty of which was even more terrifying than that of Grandma Ping.

However, after seeing Ye Li's nine true and one false answers, although Zhong Li looked suspicious, he temporarily put aside his investigation of Ye Li's identity and decided to ask again when they were alone.

After the meal, Hu Tao paid the money very quickly. This trick of keeping a favor was totally unlike something a 16 or 17-year-old girl could do. It can only be said that as the head of the Wangsheng Hall who controls a monopoly industry, her vision and means are truly extraordinary.

"Brother Yeli, you just arrived in Liyue Harbor, so you probably haven't booked an inn yet. Why don't you come to our Wangsheng Hall to rest tonight and discuss the coffin cooperation plan."

"Master Hu Tao, can you please return my box to me while I'm talking about this? Even though I borrowed it, please don't make it difficult for me."

Ye Li's mouth twitched as he looked at Zhongli who was holding the suitcase. The way he touched the suitcase seemed as if he was reminiscing about the past.

There was no way. The box was made by him in Guizhong style, and he had promised Zhongli to lend him the box for a few days to observe the technology of ancient mechanical engineering. He could only ask for it out of his mouth. The water he had eaten out could not be taken back.

……

At this moment in the inner world, Gui Zhong looked at the suitcase in the projection screen with both a smile and a little sadness. Zhongli, who had a look of sadness and nostalgia, felt uncomfortable in her heart, but when she saw Morax next to her, the pain in her heart subsided a little.

Anyway, the other Morax is already miserable enough, and if I have to worry about it again, it will not be worth it.

Morax looked seriously at his sad self in front of the screen. The news that Grandma Ping said flashed through his mind, and his mood became as uncomfortable as that of his other self.

If you think about it carefully, if you lose Guizhong, his condition might be even more miserable than the one in front of the screen. After all, he has not experienced the pain of losing someone more important than him, so even if he can empathize with them, it is limited.

Looking at the two people who seemed to be hesitant to speak but were forcing smiles, Buyer couldn't help but worry that without Ye Li's help, his self in that time and space would go according to the original plan to pretend to be reincarnated, which was actually a plan of self-sacrifice.

After all, during Ye Li's long communication with the Long River of Time, she also learned about the mysteries and theories of the Long River of Time. These are problems she has to face.

……

The next day, Ye Li walked out of the guest room arranged by the Wangsheng Hall, and what came into his sight was the figure of Hu Tao carrying two huge logs with one hand. Looking at the power bursting out from that small body, Ye Li couldn't help but sigh that the enhancement of the Eye of God was enough to allow a mortal to advance to a transcendent level.

"Hey! Ye Li Keqing, you got up really early. I have prepared all the tools. As long as you make it according to my idea yesterday, the customer will definitely be satisfied with the newest coffin. Then the second coffin will be half price, buy two get one free. It's a good deal."

With a bang, a gust of wind blew up in the open space in the courtyard. The wood and various mechanical tools were already laid out in the open. Ye Li could only do as Hu Tao pestered him last night. Even Zhongli couldn't stand it anymore and dragged Hu Tao out of the guest room where Ye Li was sleeping. Under Hu Tao's unwillingness to give up, he agreed to the other party and became the new guest of Wangsheng Hall.

The contract has been made, and those who break their promises should be punished according to the law.
