Genshin Impact: I am best at sacrifice, don't cry

Chapter 12 The 77th Master of the Rebirth Hall

When Nan Dou was twelve years old, his height had grown to over 1.7 meters, and his calm and mature temperament made it easy for people to mistake his age.

Since he first presided over the ceremony two years ago, he has gradually taken over my grandfather's work until today he has complete control over all matters in the Wangsheng Hall.

However, Nan Dou still has the habit of reporting to his grandfather after completing his work.

Walking into his grandfather's study, Nan Dou stretched and complained, "There have been so many big jobs recently that I have to do them myself. I am so exhausted."

When Grandpa saw Nan Dou's complaint, he put down the brush in his hand, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "That means my precious grandson has been recognized by the people of Liyue. This is a good thing."

"I can finally retire with peace of mind. After a while, I will announce that I will officially pass the position of the head of the Wangsheng Hall to you."

"You will soon be the 77th head of the Wangsheng Hall!"

After hearing his grandfather's words, Nan Dou suddenly stood still.

The seventy-seventh hall master, the person who was originally supposed to bear this identity was the helpless Hu Tao.

But now...

Thinking of Hu Tao's happy appearance now, Nan Dou no longer had the idea of ​​getting everything back on track.

As long as Hu Tao can be happy, what does it matter if he becomes the head of the Wangsheng Hall for his whole life?

Before his death, he was Hu Nandou, Hu Tao's elder brother, and the 77th head of the Wangsheng Hall!

"What's wrong, Nandou? Are you so happy to hear the news?"

Grandpa smiled and patted Nan Dou's shoulder to free him from his messy thoughts.

"Well, Grandpa, I'm so happy. From now on, you can have a good rest and don't have to worry about the affairs of the Hall of the Dead."

Nan Dou looked at his grandfather with a complicated expression. The strong arms in his memory now seemed as light as a feather when they touched his body.

His impressive sturdy body gradually became thinner, his straight spine began to become hunched, and his loud voice became much gentler.

"Hahaha, don't worry grandpa, I'm in great shape!"

"Go to Qun Yu Pavilion to find Ning Guang in a few days. After you become the head of Wang Sheng Hall, you will need to report to her about all matters, big or small, such as taxation in the hall."

Speaking of business, Hall Master Hu instantly became serious and specifically instructed: "Although Tianquanxing is very caring for Wangsheng Hall under the order of the Emperor, she is actually a very ambitious person."

"When you talk to her, remember not to say anything you shouldn't."

"We in the Hall of Rebirth don't get involved in so many things."

Nan Dou took everything his grandfather said seriously to heart.

Every year, Emperor Geohu descends in his true form as a dragon during a ceremony hosted by one of the Seven Stars to guide Liyue's business direction for the coming year.

The Hall of Rebirth is the only funeral industry organization in Liyue specially appointed by the Emperor long ago, and it has remained unchanged for thousands of years.

Thanks to this, the Wangsheng Hall has a transcendent status in Liyue. As long as the head of the Wangsheng Hall does not break the law, the Seven Stars cannot do anything to him.

……

Three days later, Master Hu announced that he would pass the position of Master of the Wangsheng Hall to his grandson Hu Nandou.

This incident did not cause any disturbance because Nan Dou's performance in the past two years has been widely recognized.

Nan Dou climbed onto the Qun Yu Pavilion hovering over Liyue Harbor on a clear autumn day.

Under the guidance of Bai Shi, Nan Dou entered the Qun Yu Pavilion.

The interior of the Qun Yu Pavilion is decorated in magnificent gold and jade, with various precious cultural relics, calligraphy and paintings placed just right. Anyone who knows a little about the subject can see that it has a profound heritage.

Bai Shi led Nan Dou to Ning Guang's office and left, not forgetting to close the door before leaving.

Along the way, Nan Dou saw many female civil servants coming and going, holding thick documents in their hands.

This is the pinnacle of Liyue’s power, the territory of Ningguang of Tianquan Star.

"What should I call you now?"

"Little Nandou? No, I should call you Master Hu."

Ningguang was wearing an elegant yellow and black cheongsam that showed off her curves. The smooth, unknown fur on her shoulders and neck and the exquisite hairpin in her white hair added a touch of elegance to her.

Her elegant and luxurious temperament is undoubtedly revealed in every gesture.

Even though it was just a joke, the aura of being in a high position for many years still showed uncontrollably.

Fortunately, Nan Dou is not an ordinary person and has known Ningguang since childhood, so he was not affected much.

"Sister Ningguang, please stop teasing me. Just call me Xiao Nandou. Being called Master Hu makes me feel a lot older."

Nan Dou smiled and scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.

According to age, Nandou should call Ningguang "Auntie", but he couldn't resist Ningguang's pocket money offensive, so since the first time, Nandou has called her sister.

"Hahaha...you're still so funny."

"I asked you to come here today. There's nothing else to do. I just wanted to chat with you."

"Sister is busy on weekdays and can't visit you and Little Walnut often."

"You must be exhausted after all these years..."

Ningguang did not have the fierce aura she usually had as a Seven Star. Instead, she spoke softly like an older sister next door.

This made Nan Dou, who was originally a little wary, relax unconsciously. It was not until he left Qun Yu Pavilion that he suddenly remembered what his grandfather had told him a few days ago.

"It's weird..."

However, to Nan Dou's surprise, Ningguang had no intention of prying into the secrets of the Wangsheng Hall, but was simply concerned about him.

"Now that everything is fine, let's take Hu Tao to Xin Yue Xuan for a big meal..."

The business of the Wangsheng Hall is spread all over Liyue. If the head of the Wangsheng Hall is the only one to preside over the ceremony, he would be exhausted to death and still not be able to finish it.

In fact, most families can only afford the price of ordinary ceremonies. If they want the hall master to perform it personally, they will naturally have to pay a hefty price.

The rest of the ceremony was performed by the funeral parlors in the branches of the Wangsheng Hall in various parts of Liyue.

Of course, the Hall of Rebirth does not only work for money. It provides free services to those who have made contributions to Liyue and the Thousand Rock Army.

……

Qunyu Pavilion, Ningguang Office.

After Nan Dou left, a blue-haired woman wearing her coat as a shawl walked out from the screen behind Ningguang.

"I heard everything you said. This is not your style."

Ningguang stretched gracefully, squinted her eyes, and said lazily to Ye Lan without turning her head: "The Hall of Rebirth is related to the Emperor, so I naturally dare not have any thoughts."

"Besides, doesn't what happened to you at Wuwangpo further illustrate this point?"

As a special intelligence officer belonging only to Tianquan Ningguang, Ye Lan went to Wuwangpo alone to investigate after receiving the order not long ago.

Obviously, her investigation was not entirely fruitless, but it was not all smooth sailing either.

Ye Lan crossed her arms and said helplessly, "That Xiao Immortal named the Great Saint who conquers demons is really hard to deal with. If I had said a few more words, he would have attacked me."

"This is the first time I have encountered such a terrifying aura in my life. He is indeed a fairy from the Yasha clan who is good at fighting."

Ningguang flicked her fan, closed her eyes, and leaned back in her chair:

"Let's stop this matter."

"Anyway, with the Emperor here, Liyue will continue to move forward steadily."

"There are many secrets in this world. Some are well known, some are kept secret, and some will be buried in the long river of time as time goes by."

"Just like some people, they disappeared without a trace..."
