Original God Zhongli BG Xiao Qinglong traveled through time

A light voice suddenly came from behind.

"I heard everything you said. I'm here."

“…Eh?” Lin Huan was slightly startled when he heard the familiar voice, then looked back in surprise.

"Xiao...how did you get into the city?"

"I wanted to go to Yiyan Palace today, ahem... you know... but when I just entered the city I saw you guys..." Xiao seemed a little uncomfortable, "So I thought, I don't need to go... Emperor... Happy birthday, Mr. Zhongli."

Looking at the way they are trying to cover up something, it's basically confirmed. It couldn't be more confirmed.

"In that case, let's stay together!" Mr. Zhongli smiled faintly and looked at the sky. "The time is right, why not take a walk with everyone? The Demon Subduing Sage has worked hard to slay demons and monsters for Liyue for a whole year, so he should relax and have a good rest today."

"Yes...Okay, then I'd better obey your command..."

Lin Huan hid beside Uncle Hu, watching the other two young couples' shining eyes focused on the two big men, couldn't help but laugh secretly, feeling particularly happy. Master Hu saw this and couldn't help but laugh out loud, gently tapping someone's furry little head.

"What are you thinking, you silly girl? Do you think you can escape the disaster by hiding beside your father? When they realize what's happening, you will definitely be the first one to be questioned!"

Lin Huan shrank his neck with a smile. Gan Yu smiled and held someone's arm, saying softly, "Ah Huan, we agreed to go to Xinyuexuan for tea and snacks later. You are not allowed to escape at the last minute~"

"No, I won't run away from the battlefield."

Her eyes fell on four people not far ahead. She looked at the back figure who was walking forward with his hands behind his back and a calm posture; she stared at the slightly shorter figure walking beside him. He seemed a little uncomfortable in the face of the crowd's enthusiasm, which had been restrained a little but still extreme, and seemed quite clumsy. There was also a young hall master and his wife who were about to explode with excitement. They wanted to ask Mr. Zhongli something in a low voice but didn't dare to, for fear of offending the emperor. In the end, Mr. Zhongli smiled and slowly gave a definite answer.

Well, I won't run away. Because, everyone around her, in front of her, behind her, around her, is the concern that Lin Huan cannot give up in this world. Now they are around her, and she is grateful and cherishes the family love, friendship... and attachment they bring to her... She wants to accompany them all the time, until the point when she has to... So at this moment, how can she bear to leave?

Can't bear to part with it.

It was not until they had walked around Yangang for a long time and finally sat down at the big round table in Xinyuexuan that the two comrades, who finally learned the truth, slowly calmed down.

Hu Xingzhi sat next to Hall Master Hu, together with Mr. Zhongli and Xiao. The girls sat together freely, heads close together, whispering to each other.

"That's right, Xingzhi." Hall Master Hu said with a smile, "I have seen it all the way... but I still have to explain to you a little bit why the Emperor... Sir, would come to us as a guest of our Wangsheng Hall. After all, our Wangsheng Hall's business is related to funeral ceremonies, and it aims to send people to the afterlife with peace of mind. Life and death are unpredictable, and sometimes even immortals cannot avoid it. After a person dies, it is up to their descendants and Wangsheng Hall to handle their funeral affairs properly. And after the immortals die, it is naturally impossible for no one to care about them, so it is reasonable for the Emperor... Sir to come to us."

Hall Master Hu paused, and then continued, "So Xingzhi really doesn't need to be too surprised why the gentleman came with us. Besides, in the future, we will need Xingzhi to represent me in handing over our guest official Zhongli to our family's next successor in charge of the Hall of Rebirth... Passing it down from generation to generation is also a kind of inheritance. This is the foundation of our Hall of Rebirth, which was handed over from my father to me, and then entrusted to you by me, and in the future, it will be passed on to your descendants... Xingzhi, do you understand?"

"I understand, father." Hu Xingzhi stood up and offered tea to his father and teacher. "Thank you for your teachings. Xingzhi will keep them in mind."

Mr. Zhongli drank the tea in his cup with a smile, raised his hand and motioned the junior to sit down, "Xingzhi, there is no need to be so formal, but I feel that Xingzhi still has some unresolved doubts besides this matter..."

"No, no, sir... After knowing your identity, I no longer have any doubts..." Hu Xingzhi waved his hands hurriedly, but his bright eyes still glanced over aggrievedly and fell into the eyes of Lin Huan who was sitting among the girls.

"It's okay. We are the only family members left now. Brother Xingzhi can ask." She knew she couldn't avoid it, so she spoke with a smile.

"Sister Ahuan is an immortal, right?" the older brother asked in a low voice.

"To be honest with you, brother, Ah Huan is indeed not an ordinary person."

"besides……"

"Okay, Xingzhi, that's enough. No need to get to the bottom of it. It's good enough to just know it." Master Hu shook his head, signaling his eldest son to stop here, because if he continued asking, the atmosphere would definitely not be as cheerful and relaxed as it was in the morning.

After all, when it comes to impermanence and time wasting, even gods and immortals...even if they don't say it out loud, they will be sad and upset.

Hu Xingzhi nodded, and suddenly raised his glass again. He blinked and smiled mischievously at his sister.

This time, Yunxi also picked up the cup beside Lin Huan.

"Cheers to my younger sister. / Cheers to my elder sister Ah Huan"

"Ah, you guys... why is Sister Yunxi following along..." Lin Huan was a little confused and flustered, but he still picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp, then hastily refilled it.

"Well, it's a family dinner, so you can be frank with each other and don't have to be too formal." Mr. Zhongli said.

"Children, will you all raise your cups?" Master Hu smiled and clapped his hands. "Let's toast to our Emperor and Sir together? On behalf of the millions of people of Liyue, we toast to our king and father who have worked so hard for us for so many years... May our Emperor live like today year after year, may he have a healthy birthday, peace and happiness, and may his blessings last as long as the mountains!"

All the people and immortals at the table stood up with their cups in hand and faced Mr. Zhongli.

"Mr. Jing..."

"Respect the Emperor..."

May the world be peaceful and renewed; may peace and happiness last forever; may the mountains and seas never end and human kindness last forever...

They all drank up the wine in their cups and smiled at each other.
