"So where are we going?" Paimon asked curiously.

At this moment, the streets of Liyue are bustling with people coming and going.

Hu Tao was walking slowly beside Qian Yu, holding a billboard in her arms. It read: Wangsheng Hall Limited Time Sale! Buy one get one free, first come first served! The font looked particularly eye-catching.

"Hehe~ You don't understand this, right? The so-called 'service expansion' means naturally looking for potential customers among the vast crowd." Hu Tao explained mysteriously.

"By the way, Qianyu, Zhongli should have told you about Lao Meng's matter in advance, right?" Hu Tao suddenly turned and looked at Qianyu.

"Well, please rest assured, Master Hu, everything has been arranged." Qianyu replied with a smile, and handed Hu Tao a special drink.

Taking the cup, Walnut looked at it carefully, then nodded with satisfaction.

"Hu Tao, Qian Yu, what are you doing..." Ying also looked at the cup curiously, with a hint of confusion in her eyes. She always felt that the two of them seemed to be hiding some secret from her.

Kurumi smiled slyly and looked off into the distance.

"Hehe, it's better not to know it now. The answer will be revealed."

Not long after, Hu Tao's eyes suddenly lit up, and then she walked quickly towards a man standing under the eaves, followed closely by Ying and the other two.

"Excuse me, who are you..." The man asked curiously when he saw the people coming.

"Hello, hello, I am the head of the Wangsheng Hall, Hu Tao." Hu Tao said with a smile.

It was at this moment that the man noticed the billboard in the other person's hand.

"Master of the Wangsheng Hall? What do you want to see me for?"

"There's no special reason. I just want to ask if you've felt any discomfort lately. After all, health is an important matter..."

"…Now Wangsheng Hall is offering a limited time offer, buy one get one free."

"Of course, the quality of the Wangshengtang brand is guaranteed. You don't have to worry that our products will break down before yours..."

As Hu Tao spoke, he raised the sign in his arms a little higher. When the man saw the content on the billboard, he became a little impatient.

"Thank you, but I don't need it."

"I am healthy, happy and everything is fine," the man said angrily.

"Wait a minute, I haven't finished yet." Hu Tao was about to continue selling, but saw that the other party was about to turn around and leave.

"Brother Qianyu!" Hu Tao looked at Qianyu expectantly.

"Wait a minute, sir." Qianyu suddenly called out to the man.

"Hey, why is it never ending? I told you I don't need the services of Wangsheng Hall." The man looked at Qianyu impatiently.

"No, no, no, you misunderstood. I am actually just a friend of the hall master, not a member of the Wangsheng Hall."

"Friend of the hall master...what else do you have to say?" the man asked.

"My friend is a very upright person. What happened just now may have offended him. It just so happens that I'm in the wine business. Although I'm a special blender from another place, if you don't have any objections, please accept this special blend as an apology." Qianyu said, handing the cup to the man.

The man hesitated for a moment, but still took the cup. He smelled it and was immediately surprised: "This smell... doesn't seem to be ordinary wine."

"Yes, this is a special drink that I mixed myself. It has a unique taste. I believe you will like it." Qianyu explained with a smile.

The man took a sip and his eyes lit up: "Well, it's really different, thank you for your kindness." Although he was still dissatisfied in his heart, he finally thanked Qianyu and left.

After saying goodbye to the man.

"Well, I was curious about what was in the cup, it turns out it's your special blend, Qianyu." Paimon said.

"Of course, what else do you think it would be?" Qianyu asked.

"But why do you want to..."

"Hehe, you don't understand, Paimon? Actually, this is our plan." The gloom of failed sales promotion just now disappeared from Hu Tao's face.

"Eh?"

"In fact, I had already cooperated with Master Hu long before the invitation ceremony. However, as a wine merchant from Mond, it is difficult for people to believe in my products. And due to the special nature of Wangsheng Hall, she often cannot attract customers."

"So... this is how you came to this kind of cooperation?" Ying said.

"But will this really work..."

"Of course you can. This is an idea that Brother Qianyu and I have been thinking about for a long time."

"I will try first. If I am rejected, Brother Qianyu will offer the wine as an apology."

"If customers find it delicious, they will be impressed."

"This will not only provide a cover, but also make the Wangsheng Hall known to more people." As he spoke, Hu Tao rubbed his hands proudly.

"But the effect of the Hall of Rebirth is not very positive..." Having said that, Hu Tao didn't care.

"Uh..." After hearing this, Ying didn't know what to say. In the end, all her words converged into a thumbs-up on her palm.

"Hehehe!" Seeing Ying's reaction, Kurumi laughed happily, "What do you think? Isn't this hall master smart?"

Hearing this, Ying smiled awkwardly.

(Qianyu: Don’t underestimate the bond between us!)

In the subsequent "expanded services", everyone got acquainted with a businessman and a woman who made sky lanterns.

Qianyu had a very smooth journey. The goods were presented in the name of apology gifts, and people didn't realize that they were selling alcohol.

As for Hu Tao, the business of Wangshengtang was rejected three times in a row. If it weren’t for Qianyu’s rescue, even Qianyan Army would have almost come over the last time...

"Huh... That was a close call." Hu Tao was breathing heavily, fearing that she would really be found by the Qianyan Army.

"Hutao, are you not going to give up your business?" Paimon said, looking at Hutao with some concern.

"Yes, it's hard to be effective this way. It's just a bargain for a bartender in Mond..." Ying said, looking at Qianyu with disdain.

"Cough cough..." Qianyu coughed twice.

"Hahaha...you guys are really funny. Thank you for your concern." Walnut said with a smile in the corner of his eyes.

"Hey, why are you laughing suddenly? Is it because you've been rejected too many times and the pressure is too great..." Paimon said.

"No, in fact, from the very beginning we were not promoting or expanding our business." Qianyu said with a smirk.

"Clang, you've all been deceived!"

"Business expansion ended when I left the Adventurers' Association."

"Huh?" Paimeng looked confused when he heard this.

"We have been doing the serious business of Wangshengtang since we stepped into Wangshengtang," Hu Tao explained.

"Proper business?"

At this moment, Paimon recalled what happened before. There were people coming and going on the street, but Walnut only found three people who seemed ordinary and even met so far apart...

"So, is there something special about those three people?" At this moment, Ying suddenly realized that there was an ulterior motive for all this.

"Hehe, not bad, you react quickly."

"In fact, those three people are potential clients of this hall master, and they are also the objects of my suspicion."

"Who is the suspect?" Paimon asked doubtfully.

"It's a person possessed by a ghost..." As Kurumi spoke, he lowered his voice, and there was a hint of chill in his tone, and even the air around him seemed to drop a few degrees.

Upon hearing this, Paimeng felt a sense of fear. The three people who seemed ordinary just now might have been possessed by ghosts!

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a chill on her back.
