Chapter 195 Stay
When Paimeng heard Xinyang agreed to this, he was so happy that he flew back and forth in the room, shouting non-stop: "Great, great, finally there will be a feast to eat!"
Ying looked at Paimon's overjoyed expression and couldn't help but smile helplessly, jokingly saying, "You, your mind and eyes are full of only eating. Tell me, are you thinking about me, or about Mora on my body?"
"Of course I'm thinking of my most important partner, but being able to have a good meal is also very important." Paimon said as he circled lightly above Ying's head and then landed steadily on Ying's shoulder.
Seeing this, Xin Yang took out a purse from the bar counter and handed it to Ying, saying, "Take these first and comfort Paimeng, that greedy little cat. If you still feel unwell, I can give you a few days off."
Ying quickly took Mora and responded with a smile: "Thank you, Xinyang, I don't have anything to do anymore. I will accompany Paimon today and come back to work tomorrow."
"Okay, you must have a good rest." Xinyang smiled and nodded at Ying.
Paimeng quickly grabbed Ying's arm and said anxiously, "Let's go! Wanmintang has just released an improved version of Xiangling's special 'Xian Tiao Qiang'. I smelled the aroma when I passed by yesterday. It was so tempting. It's a pity that I didn't have Mora to buy it then. Today I can finally taste it!"
"Haha, we really have to go and try it. Xiangling's cooking skills have always been very good." Ying said as he quickened his pace and hurried towards the Wanmin Hall with Paimon.
Xin Yang looked at the hurried backs of the two people and couldn't help but smile. He said softly, "These two funny guys, when they heard there was something delicious, they couldn't wait."
Xianyun laughed beside him and said, "Yeah, it's always like this. Paimon, needless to say, is a real glutton, and Ying, on the other hand, is also very indulgent towards Paimon and lets her do whatever she wants. When the two of them get together, their personalities really complement each other."
Just then, Xinyang noticed that Xianyun and Aping had arrived at the store without him noticing. He asked curiously, "Master, where did you go this morning? I didn't even see you."
Xianyun replied with a smile, "Aping and I went to visit Guizhong this morning. We left in a hurry and forgot to tell you. By the way, Nana just mentioned that something seemed to have happened this morning."
Xin Yang quickly waved his hand and said, "Master, don't worry. Those things have been handled properly. There's nothing to worry about. I just don't know how Gui Zhong is doing now."
"Gui Zhong recovered very well and can now walk. In two days, he should be fully recovered."
"That's great. Everyone has put a lot of thought into this matter. Now that we have such a good result, it's worth it." Xinyang said as he looked at Ah Ping with a hint of doubt in his eyes and asked softly, "Grandma Ping... Oh, no, should I call you Ah Ping or Grandma Ping now?"
When Ping heard this, she smiled and said, "Just call me Ping! I'm finally back. I've made up my mind not to go back to my old self. I just want to live freely like this!" After saying that, Ping's face was filled with a relaxed and comfortable smile, as if all the troubles in the world had left her.
Xianyun, who was standing by, laughed as well upon hearing this, jokingly saying, "Ah, it's Guizhong's words that really work! Back then, we earnestly advised you many times to stop thinking about Guizhong and return to your old self, but you just wouldn't listen. As a result, ever since Guizhong came back, I haven't seen you look like you used to!"
Then, Xianyun seemed to have suddenly thought of something interesting and continued excitedly, "Since you've decided to show yourself like this, why not just stay here at Bailu Shuanghua and don't leave! Staying here with me will make your daily life more lively and save you from being alone all the time."
However, Aping shook her head in disagreement and retorted: "Who told you that I'm lonely? I also have several very outstanding apprentices! They often come to visit me, chat with me and relieve my boredom. My life is not monotonous at all!" When talking about her apprentices, Aping's eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of pride and relief.
Xianyun counted on his fingers as he explained to Ping, "Xiangling has her own business at Wanmin Hall to attend to, so how could she have the time to visit you every day? Yanfei is half your apprentice, isn't she? She's well-versed in Liyue law, and every day she has matters big and small to deal with. She's even busier than Xiangling. So, after all that, there's only Yaoyao left. Although Yaoyao is still young and can always be with you, can you tell her everything?"
Ah Ping was slightly stunned when she heard this, then smiled and waved her hands, saying, "Oh, I'm not a child, how can I always expect them to be around me? Even if they are busy, it would make me happy for a long time if they could come over occasionally. Besides, I can live quite comfortably on my own."
Xianyun continued to persuade him, "Only your appearance has returned, but your mentality is still that of an old man. You should stay with me. Here in Bailu Shuanghua, your abilities won't be buried. We'll all look after each other, and we can chat about interesting things and share little things together on weekdays. It's much more comfortable than being alone. Besides, I guess when Guizhong fully recovers, he'll be like the Emperor and become a guest official at the Wangsheng Hall. By then, he'll probably come to Bailu Shuanghua often, and we can get together often. If you stay here, you can spend more time with Guizhong and enjoy the lively atmosphere with us. How wonderful it is."
Ah Ping nodded slightly after hearing this, a hint of excitement flashing in her eyes. She said, "Well, now that you put it that way, it's a good idea. But you're not the boss, are you? I wonder if the owner of this store is willing to accept a freeloader like me?"
After saying that, they both looked at Xinyang at the same time.
Xinyang was completely bewildered. How could this even be linked to me? He quickly nodded and said, "I listen to my master. Whatever my master says is what I follow."
After hearing what Xinyang said, Xianyun smiled and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Haha, boy, you're quite good at following my wishes."
Ah Ping also laughed and said, "In that case, I'll stay here with peace of mind. Please take good care of me in the future."
Xinyang quickly responded, "Don't worry, Ping, this is your home. Everyone will definitely take care of you."
Time passed quietly, and two days later, a new female guest appeared in the Hall of Rebirth.
At this time, in the Bailu Shuanghua store, Xianyun was sitting quietly in the corner wiping his magic weapon, Aping was carefully arranging a few flowers and plants, and Xinyang and Linghua, the two hands-off bosses, had just returned to the store after helping Ying deliver takeout for two days.
"Master, do you know?" Xin Yang said excitedly, "There's a new guest official at Wangsheng Hall. It's said that Zhongli personally introduced him, and this guest official's attainments in etiquette are extremely high, not inferior to Zhongli's."
Upon hearing this, Xianyun paused in his motion of wiping the magic weapon. A flicker of unconcealable surprise flashed across his eyes as he muttered to himself, "Apart from Gui Zhong, I can't think of anyone else who could be personally recommended by the Emperor to become a guest official. It seems she has truly fully recovered."
When Ah Ping heard this, her eyes lit up with surprise. Without saying a word, she put down the flowers and plants she was fiddling with, eagerly took Xianyun's hand, and walked out of the store, muttering, "Then we must go and see her quickly. I wonder if she's used to staying in Wangsheng Hall."
Xin Yang and Ling Hua looked at each other and hurriedly followed, saying in unison, "Let's go too."
In this way, several people walked together and set off on the road to Changshengtang. Along the way, a few snowflakes floated slowly in the sky, and the shops on the street were full of dazzling goods, and pedestrians were walking among them, making it very lively.
Outside the Wangsheng Hall, Zhongli and Guizhong were talking about something.
