After being hit in the face by the system, I swapped bodies with Zhongli
Chapter 360: Some transitions (this small instance will end after about 1 chapters)
Based on the existing conditions, Yuan Zhuoyue couldn't understand why this middle-aged man who suddenly appeared did this.
So he planned to take the initiative and find out what was going on, to find out why the other party had gone through so much trouble to come and show up in front of the amnesiac Zhongli.
Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng was very fast. She just passed over the dozen or so jade pendants in the red lacquered wooden box one by one in her hands.
She had already selected the piece that best met the requirements put forward by the middle-aged man, and then held it in her palm and showed it to the middle-aged man: "As far as I know... the emperor did not give such a jade pendant to the Qianyan Army. But among these jade ornaments, I found a jade artifact made about 500 years ago. I can't be sure of the exact time, but judging from the carving technique, it is indeed a popular craft at that time..."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man immediately revealed an expression of excitement and joy, and eagerly used both hands to take the jade pendant from Master Liuyun Jiefeng's hand.
He thanked her repeatedly, "Thank you, Miss Xianyun. If it weren't for your help today, I don't know how long it would take."
As he spoke, he put the jade pendant into his arms, and then nimbly jumped to the corner of the room and took out a purse from a shabby, inconspicuous wooden box covered with a layer of dust.
Then he turned back to the table, put the bag on the table, and pushed it in the direction of Master Liuyun Jiefeng: "This is just a small gift, but it is not a respect. I hope Miss Xianyun will accept this thank you gift."
Judging from the noise the bag made when it fell on the wooden table, this reward could be considered very generous.
Naturally, Master Liuyun Jiefeng did not refuse and accepted the reward very calmly. After all, it was the reward that had been agreed upon at the beginning and the promised thank you gift.
This was the income she deserved from her labor, so naturally, Master Liuyun Jiefeng would not have any psychological burden when holding it in his hands.
After picking out the jade pendant he needed, the middle-aged man seemed to have unloaded a heavy psychological burden. He immediately became happy and smiled.
Every gesture and movement seemed to be filled with a lighthearted feeling.
Even the wooden box on the wooden table, which was filled with jade pendants, had not been put away. He had already planned to say goodbye to everyone, holding the jade pendants in his arms, and rushed towards the direction of his target.
Just a voice suddenly appeared, stopping the middle-aged man's impatient steps, making him stop in his tracks and look in the direction of the tall figure that made the voice.
The one who spoke was Yuan Zhuoyue: "Brother, please be patient... This jade pendant is just the most similar substitute selected based on the drawing you drew and the relevant description."
Yuan Zhuoyue seemed to be standing in the other person's shoes and suggested for his benefit: "Perhaps it is slightly different from the real thing, and it is very likely that it will not be able to deceive your father... Why don't you take these jade pendants with you, so that if something happens, there will be a plan for the follow-up."
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, and he echoed: "Yes, yes, yes! Mr. Zhongli, you are right!"
Then he looked at the traveler and Master Liuyun Jiefeng, who was standing by with his arms folded. He hesitated for a moment and said politely, "Would you please follow me? I will also give you the same reward as before."
Master Liuyunjiefeng naturally nodded in agreement.
She kept in mind the purpose of her following Yuan Zhuoyue, and also remembered Gui Zhong's advice of "non-interference", so naturally she didn't mind obeying Yuan Zhuoyue's ideas.
After all, she also wanted to know what this mortal in front of her was up to...
The Traveler agreed without hesitation. Although Paimon was still a little confused, he saw that his companions and even the Traveler had made the same choice.
Her choice was naturally to align with the traveler without hesitation.
The middle-aged man's father lived in a village adjacent to Tianheng Mountain, which was not too far from Liyue Harbor.
Soon, the group of people with different thoughts arrived at their destination. Unlike the red buildings and jade tiles with carved beams and painted rafters in Liyue Harbor, the buildings here exuded a rustic atmosphere.
With rocks as foundations, houses are built with yellow mud, bricks and tiles, scattered among the crisscrossing roads.
The middle-aged man led them to the courtyard of a small house with a fence that looked extremely old and dilapidated. The weeds in the vegetable patch were much more lush than the vegetables, revealing a desolate scene.
The middle-aged man just raised his hand and pushed open the small wooden door on the fence, which made a slight creaking sound.
The next moment, the closed door of the small house surrounded by the fence was suddenly opened, revealing a well-dressed young man in a short shirt.
The young man walked over quickly and asked the middle-aged man with a slightly hesitant look, "Is this Brother Qilang?"
Seeing the middle-aged man nod, the young man immediately showed a cheerful smile: "I heard my father say that you were back a few days ago...By the way, Brother Qilang, do you still remember me? I'm Xiaohu, and I was only a few years old when you left."
The middle-aged man nodded blankly, then said in a daze: "I have some impression of you, but after so many years, you have changed so much that I can't recognize you."
The young man also said with a smile: "Brother Qilang, you too, if my father hadn't mentioned it a few days ago and it left some impression on me, I wouldn't dare to recognize you now."
The middle-aged man smiled and asked, "I wonder how my father is doing these days?"
The young man immediately patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry. When Uncle Qi was young, he helped the people in the village a lot with his martial arts. He is old now, and in return, it is only natural for us to take care of him."
The middle-aged man thanked him and said, "Thank you for your careful care. Could it be that with the help of neighbors like you...with my father's current condition, he wouldn't have survived until today."
After meeting an old friend after a long separation, the middle-aged man exchanged a few polite words and then went into the house, holding the newly found jade pendant, to meet his father.
The young man, who didn't want to disturb the reunion of father and son, stayed where he was, but couldn't help but let out a sigh.
Yuan Zhuoyue approached him without hesitation, trying to get some useful information from him: "My dear friend, why are you sighing?"
Faced with this sudden question, the young man was a little unsure about it. He explained the origins of the companion who came with the middle-aged man, "It's just a little sigh... When Uncle Qi was clear-headed, he never mentioned Brother Qilang who had been away from home for many years. Now that he is confused, he talks about his son every day. Now the clouds have cleared and the moon is shining... But Uncle Qi is in his current condition, I'm afraid he won't be able to recognize Brother Qilang. I just think it's a pity. It would be great if Brother Qilang was willing to come back earlier."
