"Yilong Wharf, huh... I seem to have some impression of it. Very well, let's go and see it for ourselves."
Hermes... no, Su Mo and Li Bai stepped leisurely onto the sightseeing boat. Just as the old man was about to set sail, a girl's voice called out from the shore.
"Hey! Wait... wait for me!"
Hmm, this voice sounded quite familiar.
Su Mo looked back, and indeed, it was a very familiar figure: Director Hu of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
Even though they were in a different world, she was still wearing that familiar hat with the Qiankun Taigua design.
Astral energy surged from the girl, and with a flash, she materialized on the boat. As her twin tails swayed, Hu Tao's youthful, vibrant smiling face appeared before them.
Only then did Hu Tao have time to survey the situation on the boat. After her plum-blossom-shaped pupils took in the elegant bearing of the two men before her, her tone became much more cheerful.
"Rare! Truly rare! To suddenly encounter two noble gentlemen of such elegant bearing. Hmm, your steps are like walking on a clear breeze, your sleeves fluttering like clouds and mist..."
"What a good poem! It's been a long time since I, Director Hu, have composed such a fine poem!"
The young girl had just complimented Su Mo and Li Bai, and the next moment, she was squinting her eyes in self-satisfied intoxication.
"Hmm, I remember you are called Hu Tao, right?"
Li Bai, the Immortal Poet, didn't mind the girl's nonsensical, disjointed poetry. With a beaming smile, he said, "I recall you are the young lady from Zhongli's household?"
"Oh? Do you gentlemen know our consultant?"
Hu Tao shook her twin tails happily and asked with some surprise, "That's truly rare. To think Zhongli could have friends with such elegant bearing as you gentlemen?"
"I had a very pleasant conversation with Mr. Zhongli last time. We hit it off immediately."
"Eh? Is Zhongli still in Liyue?"
Su Mo was slightly surprised. "I thought he had long since run off to the Dimensional Sea to rule over a Star Realm!"
Hearing this, Hu Tao opened her beautiful, large eyes wide and looked at the two men in astonishment.
"Hey! I didn't expect both of you to know our consultant!"
"But, is that guy Zhongli really that strong?"
"You gentlemen actually think Zhongli is capable of ruling a Star Realm and ascending to immortality?"
In the eyes of the people of Liyue, the Three Thousand Digital Dimensional Seas were the Immortal Realm. To become a Star Lord and ascend to the heavens was, naturally, to achieve immortality.
"It seems Miss Hu Tao is unaware of Mr. Zhongli's true strength!"
Li Bai raised an eyebrow. He knew that this young girl before him had been raised under the care of Zhongli, the Ancestor of all Adepti in Liyue. To think he was even keeping secrets from her?
Zhongli, Morax, the Immortal Ancestor of Liyue—this was a peer whom even he, Li Bai, had to respect.
Although Zhongli had entered the Dao much later than him, his foundation was astonishing. Once he stepped onto the righteous path of a Star Lord, his momentum was so fierce that even a heaven-sent genius like himself was left clicking his tongue in amazement.
Or perhaps it was that every one of the ancient Seven of Liyue was quite extraordinary.
Even the young Lesser Lord Kusanali, relying on her unique and heaven-favored background, had almost caught up to them, the old predecessors, in cultivation.
