Hu Tao found that something was wrong with Jiang Bai these days.
He actually ran to Zhongli's yard at dawn, and this lasted for two or three days, every day.
Not only that, he also followed Zhongli out every day. He followed Zhongli wherever he went.
When Zhongli walked the bird, he carried the cage. When Zhongli listened to a play, he squeezed his shoulders. When Zhongli entered the restaurant, he served food and tea.
He became Zhongli's servant.
Hu Tao, who had been following Hu Tao for a day, was very puzzled by this.
Although the people watching the ceremony had issued a silence order and the news of the emperor's murder had not yet spread, they still knew about it.
It was obviously a time like this when the emperor was killed. Why didn't these two people investigate, didn't worry, and were still in the mood to go shopping and listen to the show every day?
What did Zhong Li have to do with Jiang Bai to make Jiang Bai so obedient, like a follower?
Hutao, who had been guessing for a long time, couldn't hold back in the end. He walked out and patted Jiang Bai's shoulder who was waiting in a daze.
Jiang Bai felt that life these days was very different from what he imagined.
He thought that Zhongli would let him conspire with the fools, or publicize the emperor's murder in the city, put the blame on Qixing, and then remove Qixing from his current position as ruler, and then build momentum for himself.
Eventually he became the only one in control of Liyue.
As a result, imagination and reality seem to be two different worlds.
There were no plots and tricks as he thought, and there was no plot to let him kill everyone. He could only walk the birds, listen to the opera, drink tea, go shopping from time to time, try new dishes, and then use him as a personal servant.
But he didn't believe that Zhongli had really done nothing in the past few days. There must be some secret code or code that he hadn't discovered, and he unknowingly conveyed what he wanted to do while he was listening to the show and drinking tea.
The reason why he couldn't find it was because the code was too hidden, but it was just an inconspicuous action like tapping the teacup or the table.
After all, he must have been planning to become the ruler of Liyue for a long time, and there is a strict organizational structure and communication structure.
And he was just forced to board the ship. After all, he is still an untrusted person. Only through Zhongli's investigation can we truly get a glimpse of a corner of his underground organization.
Suddenly, Jiang Bai felt someone tap him on the shoulder. His thoughts were divergent. He was suddenly startled and looked behind him warily.
He was greatly relieved when he found out it was Hutao.
"There's something wrong with you, there's something very wrong with you." Hu Tao's brows were so frowned that they could pinch a mosquito to death.
Whether it was her reaction to patting his shoulder just now or his abnormal behavior these past few days, something was obviously wrong.
Zhongli, who was listening to the play, glanced at Hu Tao and continued to listen to the play.
Jiang Bai scratched his head, "Is there any?"
Hutao crossed his arms and looked him up and down, "What did the old man have to do with you? Let you follow him every day and work as his servant?"
And I’ve been following you for a whole day, and you haven’t noticed yet.”
"Ah?" Jiang Bai was even more confused.
Did Hutao follow him for a day?
His attention was all on Zhongli, wary of Zhongli's every move, and he didn't notice anything else.
Seeing Jiang Bai's dumb look, Hu Tao glared at Zhongli.
Look at what he has done to his little brother in the past few days! Everyone has become stunned!
"Did the old man threaten you with something? This hall master will make the decision for you!"
Hearing Hu Tao's words, Jiang Bai felt moved in his heart. It was not in vain for him to humble himself for the sake of the hall master. It was all worth it!
"The hall master has wronged me by saying this." Zhongli put down the teacup in his hand and made a helpless expression.
"I'm just a little guest, how can I command him? He's asking for something from me. If you don't believe me, ask him."
Jiang Bai's face wrinkled up after hearing this.
He really saw how shameless Zhong Li was. He was clearly using the hall as a blackmail, but he could still pretend to have done nothing and put the blame on him.
Sure enough, he is very scheming!
When Hu Tao turned to look at him, Jiang Bai changed his face instantly, lowered his eyebrows and said, "Yes, I have something to ask for from Mr. Zhongli."
"What are you begging him for? Can't you beg me, the Hall Master?" Hutao put her hands on her hips, feeling that her position as Hall Master was being challenged.
"Uh, this" Jiang Bai's mind raced, thinking about what reasons could reasonably explain all of this.
In the end, Zhongli gave a reasonable reason.
He blew the tea in the cup gently and said, "He wants to become my teacher."
Jiang Bai:!!!
He has no such idea! Don't add an identity to him without authorization!
walnut:!!!
Hu Tao patted him on the shoulder happily, "Not bad, not bad. You finally have such a consciousness. Our guest ministers are very powerful. To become a disciple, you need to have such sincerity."
After saying that, she walked away with her hands behind her back, not paying attention to Jiang Bai's ferocious expression behind her.
Jiang Bai glared at Zhongli angrily.
When will he become his disciple?
Now that Hu Tao knows about it, he has no choice but to worship this master!
I really tried my best to tie him to death in his boat. Damn it!
Seeing Jiang Bai's furious look, Zhongli raised his brows with an expression that said, "What can you do to me?"
I think about how many people wanted to become his disciple, but he refused. It was rare that he was interested in accepting a disciple, but he was still unwilling.
But it's quite interesting to see Jiang Bai succumb to his lustful power.
"Since you want to become a disciple, you have to prepare for the apprenticeship ceremony. I wonder if you have prepared it?"
"When did I say I wanted to become a disciple?" Jiang Bai laughed angrily at such shameless words.
Zhongli ignored his words completely and said to himself: "Oh, really? Are you ready for Mora?"

"But there are certain things to be careful about if you want to be my master."
"The Six Ritual Bundles are indispensable. Among them, the dried meat must be the hind legs of wild forest pigs from Qingquan Town, and the celery must be the most tender plant in the fields of Qingce Village.
"For dried longan, we must choose the best quality jade longan in season and dry it in the sun. The lotus seeds must be picked fresh from the Huachi north of Aozang Mountain. The red dates must be picked from the branches of the oldest red date tree in Dihuazhou.
Two, the red beans are taken from wild red beans on Tianheng Mountain..."
"The apprenticeship tea is also indispensable. The apprenticeship tea is even more exquisite. It has to be picked with the freshest dew on the glazed lilies in the morning for seven days, and then the freshest buds from the tea ancestors enshrined in Qiaoyingzhuang...
"
"Imperial King Yan is not as particular as you in recruiting disciples! You are not even an emperor yet, yet you are just pretending to be an emperor!"
Jiang Bai banged his fist on the table, so angry.
Not to mention how troublesome these requirements are, the apprenticeship tea is even more outrageous.
Since you are the tea ancestor enshrined by Qiao Yingzhuang, how can you let you pick the tea leaves of the tea ancestor at will?
I also need to collect the dew on the petals of the seven-day glazed lily!
Why doesn't he go to heaven?
In response to his incompetent rage, Zhongli curled his lips and said, "Whether you can become a master depends on your sincerity. I will report the situation to the hall master."
