MM Racing Chapter 417 Small Gift
Chapter 417 Small Gift
A slight breeze blew on the teacups in the living room, which were slightly shrouded in mist. Zhongli sat in front of the tea table, and from time to time he glanced at Ye Li, who kept his head down and remained silent, minimizing his presence. He then looked at the girl who went by the alias Gui Chen, and couldn't help but have some thoughts about their father and husband, whom he had never met.
"Ms. Walnut, my little one has been here for nearly a year. Thanks to you for taking care of him. This is a small gift I bought for you. Please keep it."
"Oh, Sister Guichen, you are too polite. Ye Li Keqing is a good employee who helped my Wangsheng Hall expand the entire Teyvat business. I am grateful for his care."
The two girls praised each other and the atmosphere was very harmonious, but Ye Li had a dead look in his eyes and had been silent for a long time.
Gui Zhong had a gentle smile on his face. Looking at Hu Tao's lively appearance, he couldn't help but think of his past self. When Ye Li was already in a state of downtime, he talked about Ye Li's dark history when he was a child.
Hu Tao's eyes lit up after just hearing the beginning, and her expression was as if she was about to cut off the source of the trouble, using these as a means of threatening Ye Li to demand his wages.
Ye, who had been drinking tea without making any noise at first, suddenly looked up. After all, the first thing Gui Zhong said was the dark history that had pitted him in the past. He had to find a way to stop it.
With a click, the teacup on the coffee table suddenly fell over, attracting everyone's attention. Ye Li just smiled awkwardly, picked up the towel beside the coffee table and wiped the tea dripping on the floor, saying:
"Ahaha, sorry, my hands were a little slippery just now."
"Mr. Yeli, why are you so careless? It would be dangerous if the cup broke!"
Hu Tao seemed to care about Ye, but a hint of pity flashed across her red eyes, and Gui Zhong was able to detect this and said jokingly:
"Oh, it seems that my impulsiveness has caused Miss Walnut to be in a state of ups and downs. I will use Mora to accompany her for the tea."
"Sister Guichen doesn't need to pay compensation. The money for the tea can be directly deducted from Yeli's guest salary this month."
Seeing that Guizhong really wanted to apologize for her son's inappropriate behavior, Hu Tao quickly found an excuse to get him to stop, and at the same time looked at Zhongli who was standing next to her without saying a word.
The meaning is very clear, please help me.
Zhongli was helpless, but facing Guizhong, who looked exactly like his old friend, had the same voice, and was basically the same except for the change in hair color, he still said according to Hu Tao's reaction:
"Miss Guichen, there is no need to worry about what will happen to Young Master Yeli here. Young Master Yeli and the Hall Master were just joking with each other just now. Don't take it seriously."
Seeing that Zhongli had spoken, Guizhong naturally did not embarrass the two people who were embarrassed. He just covered his mouth and smiled:
"Since both of you have said so, I will not mention this matter any more."
Ye Li tidied up the coffee table and quickly ran to the kitchen to change the kettle of water. While he was changing the water, Hu Tao took the opportunity to sneak closer to Gui Zhong, still determined to know some of Ye Li's dark history.
Zhongli watched the situation quietly. No one knew Hu Tao better than him, and no amount of persuasion would do. However, he was also quite curious about Ye Li's dark history as a child.
After all, ever since Ye Li’s self-narration at the last Lantern Festival, no other useful information has been obtained. But now that he has the chance to know, he naturally won’t miss it.
Of course, the dark history is only one of the reasons. What Zhongli wants to know more is whether Gui Chen has any connection with his old friend Gui Zhong. After all, the two are so similar. If they dye their hair, change their clothes, and wear colored contact lenses, they will definitely be cut from the same mold.
A few minutes later, Hu Tao looked at Ye Li who came out of the kitchen with an unsatisfied look on his face, and quickly pretended to be indifferent and said:
"Ye Li Ke Qing, it's already very late, and it's too late to buy food now. How about we go to Wan Min Tang for a meal? Sister Gui Chen hasn't tried the food there yet."
"Wanmintang? I heard about it on the way here. It is said that all the chefs there are masters of cooking, and they also have legendary special dishes."
When Gui Zhong heard Hu Tao's words, he immediately became lively, and his originally dignified look disappeared without a trace.
……
Xumi, the floating platform of the Red King Pyramid.
The dark cave entrance slowly opened, and a white-green figure landed from inside it onto the platform, then revealed its shape.
The snow-white hair like a waterfall falls behind, and the green grass element highlights bring a sense of holiness to its owner. The classical robe of the same color is engraved with natural runes belonging to the spirit of plants and trees. The white and tender feet step on the ground to make flowers grow.
The light of the grass element bloomed, and together with the afterglow of the setting sun, it enveloped all sides of the platform. The God of Grass from another time and space descended into her kingdom.
The light gradually faded, and Buyer's eyes, like green jade gemstones, looked around, and a look of emotion appeared on his face as he said:
"It really proves what Ye Li said. The random transmission is indeed complicated. However, the most urgent thing is to go and see the child first. After confirming the situation, we can make a detailed plan."
Buyer sorted out the current situation and then disappeared out of thin air. There was not even the slightest elemental fluctuation, and he disappeared on the spot literally.
Xumi City, Jingshan Palace, the grass god was originally used for thinking, but was imprisoned in a circular device transformed by successive sages. The new grass god Nashida looked up as if she had sensed something.
However, she could not see anything around her. Even if she used the power of dream to explore the entire Xumi, she could not find the target of her inspiration.
"Strange, this feeling again? And this time it's even stronger than last time. What on earth is attracting me?"
The little grass god fell into deep thought, while the girl standing next to her, who looked quite similar to her but more like a sister or mother, said nothing and had a very cold look in her eyes.
But the cold eyes turned into gentleness in the next second. Looking at the girl who was lost in thought and observing people through dreams, Buyer couldn't help but want to reach out and touch her little head to comfort the child for the grievances she had suffered over the years.
However, the hand was halfway extended and finally stopped.
After taking a deep breath and regaining his composure, Buyer left behind a formation and a gift, then flew out of the circular thinking device and walked towards the direction of the Church Hall.
Nashida looked back as if she sensed something, and saw a small golden cross of unknown origin floating at her feet. From the appearance, it was a bit like the trial in Fontaine's vernacular novels.
Faced with unknown knowledge, the girl, the Goddess of Grass, couldn't help but want to touch it out of curiosity, but her hand stopped in mid-air and she began to wonder how this thing came into being.
However, before Nashida could withdraw her hand, the small golden cross seemed to have found its target and flew into the girl's forehead, and then a piece of information and knowledge arrived as promised.
Nashida reached out and touched her forehead, her emerald eyes were very bright, and she had some understanding of this artifact belonging to the God of Grass, but the next second she showed a look of doubt.
"I see. Is this what the Great Compassion Tree King left behind to protect me? But why didn't it appear at the beginning, but now? Could it be because of the forbidden knowledge?"
Temporarily giving up thinking about the origin of this artifact, Nashida tried to summon it based on the information and knowledge in her mind. Then the next second, a golden light lit up, and a golden cross appeared behind the girl, slowly floating in the air.
Nashida reached out and touched the cross. The feeling of closeness and power as if they were one heart made the girl blurt out the name of this artifact.
"The Key of God [Judas's Oath]."
