Sighing dejectedly, Hu Tao paced back and forth with her small hands behind her back.

Gu Chen's attention remained on the book. Seeing that he didn't attract Gu Chen's attention for a long time, Hu Tao sighed, and boredly leaned on the table, her right hand on the desktop, two scallion-white fingers walking forward and backward like people.

【Paimon】: Rex Lapis is going to be murdered again. (Funny)

【Miss Ningguang】: The Emperor was murdered, seal the whole scene!

【Keqing】: Rare, you actually play your own memes. (Paimon? Surprised)

【Miss Ningguang】: What's this. However, the perspective of this video is different from the first one. I don't know if I can see anything. (Pondering)

【Furina】: I see one thing: the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor knows everything, is clear about everything, and it's all planned by the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor! (Furina? Happy)

【Azhdaha】: It seems there is nothing wrong with saying so. After all, the old man is a consultant of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor and also a part of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. (Funny)

【Tartaglia】: It seems that I am the only one who is a victim in the whole event! (Annoyed)

【Gu Chen】: No, the wealthy are the victims. After all, your funds in the Northland Bank are the wealthy's. (Funny)

【Tartaglia】: (Suddenly realized) Oh~~ Speaking of which, indeed!

【Pantalone (The Wealthy)】:...

The back door of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor opened.

Hu Tao immediately looked up. Zhongli walked in quickly, his expression calm, but his tone was faster: "Something happened, Rex Lapis was assassinated."

"There is such a thing?"

Gu Chen raised his eyebrows, then frowned and said: "The person who assassinated the Emperor really deserves to die!"

Zhongli paused, then nodded: "... Indeed."

Hu Tao stood up with a swoosh and said: "Who has such courage to assassinate Rex Lapis?"

"Don't know," Zhongli shook his head.

"No wonder the second consultant said it's not suitable to go out today," Hu Tao realized, then said: "Second consultant, you didn't assassinate the Emperor, did you?"

Gu Chen was stunned, then said: "Parlor owner, it's a pity you don't write novels."

"Did you hear that, big consultant!"

Hu Tao put her hands on her hips very proudly, then raised her hands to pat her chest as if to prove how amazing she was and said: "The second consultant means that I, the parlor owner, have the talent to write novels!"

Zhongli: "..."

This somewhat strange brain circuit, he really couldn't keep up.

"I don't know how Rex Lapis is. After all, he is a god who has protected our Liyue for so long... If he falls, will there be a funeral or something?" Hu Tao started to calculate with her fingers: "Rex Lapis is a god after all, the funeral specifications should be very, very high, and there must be some requirements..."

"This matter is simple!"

Gu Chen pointed to Zhongli and said: "Isn't there an encyclopedia here? Wouldn't it be fine to hand it over to Mr. Zhongli to handle?"

Hu Tao thought about it and it seemed so, nodding repeatedly: "Makes sense! Big consultant, this matter is handed over to you. You must figure out the situation. If Rex Lapis really falls... although it's a pity, but the old man is gone, the funeral must keep up, right?"

Zhongli was silent for a long time before nodding helplessly: "I will pay attention."

After speaking, an undertaker came to report.

"Mr. Zhongli, that friend of yours at the Northland Bank sent someone to notify you, saying he invites you to dinner tomorrow, and also said he would introduce new friends to you," the undertaker said.

Zhongli said without hesitation: "Got it, I will go to the appointment tomorrow."

"Okay!"

After the undertaker left, Hu Tao clicked her tongue in wonder: "Not simple, the big consultant now has a more powerful wallet."

Teased by Hu Tao, Zhongli just smiled, then said: "Parlor owner, I'll go out for a stroll and ask for news?"

"Go on, go on," Hu Tao waved her hand.

After watching Zhongli leave, Hu Tao sat beside Gu Chen and looked at Gu Chen and asked: "Second consultant, do you know what's going on?"

Gu Chen was pouring tea, handed a cup to Hu Tao, and shook his head: "Don't know."

"Really?"

Hu Tao was full of suspicion.

"Naturally, I really don't know," Gu Chen nodded affirmatively.

The suspicion on Hu Tao's face became heavier, but not knowing what she thought of, she smiled and said: "Forget it, forget it, it's normal for our two consultants to know nothing!"

【Kirara】: I feel that the people in the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor are mysterious. Clearly everyone either knows in their hearts or has some guesses, but on the surface, they are still a pair of ordinary people, not knowing your hidden identities. (Paimon? Surprised)

【Paimon】: Maybe this is a riddle person, but the most miserable one kept in the dark is Hu Tao and Axiu. Axiu knows that the two consultants are not ordinary people, but because they both have Visions, she thinks they are Vision holders, at most they are knowledgeable and know everything, but she certainly wouldn't think Zhongli is Rex Lapis, and Gu Boss is a ruthless person who can fight a few moves with the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles. (Paimon? Surprised)

【Tartaglia】: At this time, I have to mention one person.

【Osial】: Who are you referring to?

【Tartaglia】: Of course it's me. I tried to seize Morax's Gnosis, but I didn't know Morax was by my side! (Annoyed)

【Signora】: Fools are like this.

【Pantalone】: Indeed.

【Tartaglia】: Past things are past, don't shout here, let's analyze first. First of all, the traveler's script has reached the point of Morax's fake death. Mr. Zhongli should start preparing for the Rite of Parting. It is estimated that it will be half a month before Osial breaks the seal.

【Osial】: I am annoyed by being scolded by my colleagues as a fool, and then analyzing the plot, and then making me annoyed too? I have to admit that your plan was successful, and it has already made me feel aggrieved. (Annoyed)

Just thinking about how arrogant he was when he broke the seal and how aggrieved he was when he was suppressed back, Osial was annoyed.

This is better than not breaking the seal!

The news that Rex Lapis was murdered at the Rite of Descension spread quickly.

The entire Liyue Harbor fell into panic.

No one thought that Rex Lapis would fall so suddenly.

"Rex Lapis actually fell," Hu Tao was very surprised.

"It is indeed surprising," Gu Chen nodded.

"Is it?"

Hu Tao looked at Gu Chen.

No surprise or other expressions were found in Gu Chen's eyes, only calm.

"Second consultant, did you expect it long ago?" Hu Tao asked.

Gu Chen shook his head and said: "It's not as the parlor owner guessed, but in my opinion, gods will eventually fall one day, just didn't expect this day to come so quickly and so suddenly."

"Is that so?"

Hu Tao believed it, but didn't fully believe it, and she didn't pursue the question.

Her own two consultants' identities are very mysterious, Hu Tao has many guesses about this, but she doesn't intend to get to the bottom of it.

Let them be.

Except for Zhongli, the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor didn't participate much in the storm of Rex Lapis's fall.

Although the fall of Rex Lapis is sad, as a human, one still has to continue living.

Day after day passed.

Suddenly.

"Oh!"

"What is this feeling?"

Hu Tao, who was bored on the table, sat up and looked at the direction of Guyun Stone Forest: "What a fierce aura!"

"If the guess is correct, it should be the god suppressed under Guyun Stone Forest," Gu Chen said.

In the sky, the Jade Chamber had already flown over.

"Something big is going to happen, I, the parlor owner, don't want to do this kind of business!" Hu Tao turned her head to look at Gu Chen and said: "Let's go, let's go take a look!"

"As the parlor owner wishes," Gu Chen nodded.

Arriving at the wharf, the wharf had been blocked by the Millelith, and only Vision holders could come forward to help, which was also for the sake of ordinary people's lives.

????????? Ask for flowers???????

The Jade Chamber had already gone far, and the battlefield was a long distance from the wharf, so even if they wanted to help, they couldn't help.

In the direction of Guyun Stone Forest, the body of the Vortex God Osial had appeared, and the war broke out suddenly.

【Kaeya】: Why does the sect leader look like a spectator in this issue?

【Zhongli】: From a universal rational point of view, this is also normal. The sect leader has been brilliant, aggrieved, and naturally plain. In this issue, many things the sect leader clearly didn't want to participate in. It may be that he participated in many things long before the beginning of the video, and then he was tired and wanted to leave but was blocked, plus he was cursed. I am afraid that the sect leader is tired inside in this issue. (Thinking)

【Azhdaha】: You understand again?

【Zhongli】: Then tell me about the sect leader's mentality?

【Azhdaha】: Isn't there a possibility that the sect leader is just lazy? (Funny)

【Paimon】: Rex Lapis bless, Gu Boss bless, I and Lumine must not have anything happen in this video. (Praying)
