Chapter 226: Seeing Zhongli: My acting is good, right? Hearing Luo Li: Still a bit worse than me!

Master Feiyun Slope! Wangsheng Funeral Parlor!

This place was the establishment that managed Liyue's funeral affairs, having operated since a thousand years ago with a long-standing heritage.

Initially, it only helped bury those who died from floods, disasters, or plagues; later, with the development of the era, this small group became the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor of today.

Devotedly completing the rites of farewell for people, maintaining the Dao of yin and yang balance in the world.

It could be called a model of moving from amateur to professional.

However, because funeral services were not exactly an elegant line of work, when not needed, everyone generally had some taboos.

Therefore, the location of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor was in a corner of Master Feiyun Slope; unless someone specifically sought them out, people generally wouldn't approach this place.

In case they got contaminated by something unclean, that would be trouble.

Thanks to this, when Hearing Luo Li arrived here, he didn't see a single person.

Let alone guests coming to the door, he couldn't even find a shadow of a doorman to receive guests.

"It really is quiet."

Hearing Luo Li muttered, stepping to the entrance of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.

He saw the door tightly shut, no attendants keeping watch, only a board-like thing stuck to the side.

Hanging on it was a wooden board used by Wangsheng Funeral Parlor to accept commissions.

If a client needed one, they would take down the wooden board, write the content, and stuff it into the crack of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor door.

Hearing Luo Li took a moment to look and discovered that the back of the wooden board even had an advertisement slogan: "With this board, buy one get one free."

It was a method thought up by a business genius.

Normal product promotions were one thing, but there was no logic in "buy one get one free" for coffins and funerals.

The current director of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor was indeed eccentric and original.

Holding this thought, Hearing Luo Li knocked on the door of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.

After a long while, no one opened the door.

"Are they not open during the day?"

Hearing Luo Li pondered, feeling that made sense too.

Judging by this business style, others were afraid to avoid it, preferring to write down their purpose and stuff it in rather than personally entering the interior of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor and bumping into something unclean.

However, Hearing Luo Li didn't care about these things at all; let alone ghosts, he had even torn Archons apart with his bare hands.

So-called ghosts were merely power leaking from the ley lines, allowing souls to briefly linger on the earth.

Thus, just as he intended to knock on the door again, the door opened automatically.

Hearing Luo Li raised an eyebrow slightly, took a look at the slightly dim and deathly silent house, and stepped inside without almost any hesitation.

He hadn't felt it while outside, but as soon as he entered, the temperature inside the house dropped significantly.

Even though the sun was shining brightly, it couldn't penetrate the shadows of the windows.

Hearing Luo Li finally understood; ordinary people really wouldn't dare to enter.

Looking around, he paused his steps and headed toward the inner courtyard.

Passing through the alley, a large plum garden planted with plum blossoms appeared before him.

Located in the center of the courtyard, the man sitting there brewing tea and tasting it was the target of his trip.

"Sure enough, he's here."

Looking at the man in fine robes with his back to him, Hearing Luo Li stepped forward and sat down.

That's right, sitting in front of him was none other than Morax, who had orchestrated his own fake death not long ago.

Now Seeing Zhongli.

Hearing Luo Li felt no guilt for deceiving Raiden Makoto and the others by saying he was going to look for clues; after all, he had indeed found Morax.

"How is this surprise?" Seeing Zhongli revealed a rare smile, picked up the teapot, and poured him a cup.

Yesterday he said he would give Hearing Luo Li a surprise, and today he had truly presented it on a silver platter.

"Nothing special, truly low-level."

Hearing Luo Li issued a critique without any politeness.

Any normal person would know there were many suspicious points; how could the Geo Archon suddenly die on the spot, and who could possibly lay a hand on him?

It was just that because Liyue's situation was complex recently, almost no one had the leisure to figure this out.

Furthermore, Seeing Zhongli's own purpose was just to give an exam to the Liyue Qixing and this country.

Seeing Zhongli chuckled: "Regardless, my goal is achieved; next, I will sit and watch the winds and clouds change."

"You are truly carefree, putting on such a play, leaving the mess to others, while hiding here in self-satisfaction."

Not caring at all about Hearing Hearing Luo Li statement, Seeing Zhongli replied: "We are the same; the situation in Inazuma is much more troublesome than in Liyue. How could you and Baal bear to leave Beelzebul alone?"

"Cough, anyway, it's been so long, it doesn't make a difference in the short term."

·· ·Seeking flowers·· ······

Seeing Zhongli couldn't help but shake his head, knowing his old friend's guilty conscience well.

This guy had typically played it too far, and was probably preparing to slowly test Beelzebul's bottom line. ===== CHAPTER 228 =====
