Chapter 424: People's Unexplained Associations
The footsteps that were entering the door stopped. Hu Tao looked at the quiet expressions of everyone at the scene with a puzzled look on his face. He couldn't help but look carefully and immediately found a guy who always liked to send bills to the Wangsheng Hall. His expression was stunned.
But before everyone at the scene could react, a sudden voice made the pupils of everyone present except Ye Li and Buyer tremble. Even Zhongli, who had always been calm and composed with a stern face, couldn't help but widen his eyes, and his expression was so wonderful.
"Husband, why are you here? Don't you have to worry about things over there?"
"Don't worry, my lady. We have trustworthy people to help us take care of the tedious matters at home. Besides, Li'er has been away for more than a year, not to mention that my lady is still away. I was a little worried, so I came to check on her."
"Really, I feel a little embarrassed to say this in front of everyone."
Gui finally walked out of the crowd, touching her cheek shyly, and went straight around the dumbfounded Hu Tao, and put her arm around Morax's arm. Her posture was so delicate that everyone reacted.
Especially Zhongli and the immortals, their complicated looks revealed their own thoughts.
Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng was very shocked. Although he already knew from the previous introduction that Guichen was a married woman, how could she look so similar to a certain guest official of the Wangsheng Hall?
Ye Li's appearance can be explained by coincidence, but his face is exactly the same as Zhong Li's, which is like a mirror and makes everyone feel inexplicably weird.
But even though the two look exactly the same, there are still some differences in their temperament and dress.
If Zhongli's temperament is a mountain that has stood firm for thousands of years, and his calm appearance is like an old man who has seen all kinds of changes, then even though the newly appeared "Zhongli" has a calm personality, the sharpness in his eyes is like the peak of a mountain, reaching straight into the sky.
Morax appeared calm on the surface, looking at the people around him who were looking at him as if paying homage, but in his heart he was helplessly listening to the script that Gui Zhong had arranged using voice transmission.
In order to prevent the situation from becoming more complicated, Morax had no choice but to follow her arrangements.
Zhongli wanted to say something to ease the strange atmosphere, but Ye Mou spoke before him:
"Alright, alright, Mom and Dad, stop being so affectionate in front of so many people. It makes me feel a little embarrassed."
"Hey, I'm just introducing my husband to everyone. Look, everyone is so surprised that they can't close their mouths."
Gui Zhong smiled mischievously, which made Ye Li's expressionless face reveal a helpless look.
Half an hour later.
After Ye Li's long-prepared explanation, Hu Tao looked at Zhong Li and Ye Yan in front of her with a look of sudden enlightenment. She had a preliminary understanding of the relationship between the two, and said with a firm face:
"I say, Zhongli Keqing, you might actually be a distant relative of the other generation. After all, apart from the differences in personality, you two are exactly the same."
"Liyue is a vast land with abundant resources. It is normal for people to look alike. I was also very surprised when I first met Mr. Ye Yan. However, our slight differences are also the reason why you can tell us apart. The hall master's guess may not be true."
"Don't say that, Mr. Zhongli. Look at Mr. Ye Yan's habitual movements. They are really similar to yours. Except for his slightly inferior knowledge, he is exactly like you in other aspects."
"Master Hu Tao, you are too kind. I am just a merchant from a small place. I am far inferior to Mr. Zhongli."
A familiar but different answering voice made Hu Tao still feel like Zhongli was talking to her. After all, she was too familiar with Zhongli. If there was any move to use Mora, she could tell at a glance.
"But speaking of which, Hu Tao, how did you run into my father? Logically speaking, he had just arrived at Liyue Harbor, so he couldn't have come to the Hall of the Dead so quickly, right?"
Seeing Ye Li finish dealing with other people's problems and come over to ask her, Hu Tao smiled awkwardly for some reason.
She could say that she had recognized the wrong person, after all, Ye Yan had reminded her many times on the road.
But at that time, she just thought Zhongli had learned to joke, and she never thought that what he said was all true.
"Child, let me explain this."
Morax looked somewhat helpless, but he maintained a calm face on the surface as he explained what happened more than half an hour ago.
……
The tired horses carried the coachman and the carriage all the way to the busy streets.
Morax got out of the carriage and paid the bill. He looked at the driver who was flattered and couldn't help but explain helplessly:
"Sir, I am not the Mr. Zhongli you mentioned. We just look alike."
"Ahahaha, sorry, sorry, Mr. Yeyan. After all, seeing the famous Mr. Zhongli's face paying the bill really made me a little dazed."
"It's okay. It should be almost evening now. Sir, you should go back as soon as possible."
"I'll go back if I can get another order. Mr. Yeyan, don't worry about my schedule. I'm leaving first."
After waving goodbye to the coachman whom he had met once, Morax unfolded the map of Liyue Harbor that someone named Ye had given him earlier and confirmed his current position and location.
As he walked, Morax felt a pair of eyes staring at him from behind, and they were getting closer and closer with his steps.
But from the slightest movement behind him, he could sense that the other party had no ill intentions, and the sound of the footsteps was audible to no one except him. He could be said to be a master of stealth.
However, Morax did not sit still and wait for death. He took a few detours and walked into the alleys, waiting for his chance.
But what he never expected was that the other party actually went straight onto the roof and walked over from the other side of the alley.
Morax didn't think much about it. He gently put his hand into the pocket of the lining of his clothes and took out the elemental pistol that was given to the new recruits by the Liyue Xianjia's scientific research department on the assembly line. He held it tightly and hid it in his slightly longer sleeve.
At present, Morax has not used any power stronger than that of ordinary people. After all, Liyue Harbor was built under his supervision in a sense, and there are many consequences of having too much power.
Not to mention that another self will come, the character that Ye Li had previously created will collapse completely, to the point where he won’t even be able to touch a fish.
Although doing so would be extremely fun for a mother who loves to see her children having fun, as a father, he still respects his child's choice.
After all, he didn't want to cause trouble.
After careful consideration, Morax walked out of the alley as if nothing had happened and came to a storyteller's tea stall. He stopped because a man named Tian Tiezui called him.
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Zhongli? We are not going to the Heyu Teahouse to listen to opera today. Besides, this suit is much more exquisite than what you usually wear."
"Uh..., sir, you got the wrong person, I..."
"Oh my! Zhongli Keqing, when did you learn to joke? Are you trying to avoid paying Tian Tiezui's bill?"
Feeling the hand patting him from behind and hearing the familiar voice in his ear, Morax could confirm that the person following him was another little ancestor whom he could not handle, the head of the Wangsheng Hall, Hu Tao.
