"I know, thank you, Master Hu."

Qingming thanked Hu Tao, but Hu Tao felt a little embarrassed. It would definitely take a lot of time to find the records from five hundred years ago. She also wanted to help many soldiers untie their knots. If she spent all her time looking through the records...

Qingming noticed Hu Tao's awkwardness and said quickly, "Of course, Master Hu, don't worry. It's the Lantern Festival after all, and Master Hu must need some time to rest. When Master Hu is free, just help me find it."

Paimon raised his hand and said, "It's okay, Walnut. We can help you look for it."

"Well, that's not very convenient..." Walnut refused with some hesitation.

[Eh, would Walnut be superstitious about this?]

[After all, it is the customer's privacy. I understand. Even if Walnut is a weirdo, he is still the head of the Wangsheng Hall.]

[I always feel that the character setting is a bit broken]

Qingming said with understanding: "Ah, after all, it is the secret of the Hall of the Dead and the privacy of the guests of the funeral in other classes. It is normal that outsiders cannot read it. I am really not in a hurry, so there is no need to make an exception for me."

Paimon touched his head awkwardly, as if he had done something bad with good intentions, and said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I didn't think of that."

"It's okay, it's not a big deal." Walnut waved her hands nonchalantly.

After Hu Tao learned the year from Qingming, Qingming said goodbye and left.

After Qingming left, Hu Tao smiled with his little tiger teeth showing:

"Hehe, actually the reason I rejected Paimon's suggestion to look for Grandma Qingming's funeral records with me wasn't just because it was inconvenient for you to check."

Paimon: "Huh? Why?"

Walnut shook his head and asked, "What was your purpose in looking for me in the first place?"

"Untie their knots..."

Paimon finally understood what Kurumi meant and said with sudden enlightenment:

"Oh! That's right! If the records show that Qingming's grandmother is not doing well, it will go against our purpose. Hu Tao will take a look after finding it. If you think Qingming will be unhappy after reading it, it's better not to tell him..."

"That's right. If I agree to Paimon and you guys go with me, Brother Qingming will also come along. That way, if we find it, we can let him see it directly."

[No wonder Kurumi said that just now, it turns out it was just a temporary solution]

【But the acting skills need to be improved】

[Hu Tao: I’m just a funeral director, why do you have such high expectations for my acting skills?]

Shen He frowned, interrupted Hu Tao and asked, "But isn't this considered deceiving him?"

Boyang supported his chin with his hand and frowned slightly. Indeed, this matter concerned the most important grandmother to brother Qingming. If he told him, he might want to commit suicide at this critical juncture. If he didn't tell him, he would feel guilty about it, as she was his most important grandmother.

Paimon spread his hands and said, "Oh, there's nothing we can do about it. We were just telling a white lie."

Walnut shook her finger and said disapprovingly, "It's not a white lie, it's just a delay. Because the problem is that he has just experienced the siege of the underground palace and has come to the future five hundred years later. His mental state must be very fragile."

"After a couple of years, when he gets used to life in Liyue, he won't need us to worry about him anymore. We can tell him now that we can't find any records about his grandmother and tell him later."

"This way, we won't be hiding it from him and make him unfilial, and we can also avoid the possibility of further hurting his heart. It's the best of both worlds, right?"

[Wow! My walnut daughter is so smart! ]

[Is this the way to solve the problem? That’s amazing]

Boyang's eyes lit up: "This method is wonderful!"

Shen He's frown relaxed: "So that's how it is."

"Of course, we still don't know if there are any problems with the funeral records of Brother Qingming's grandmother, and we may not be able to find them. We are just taking precautions."

Paimon: "Well, Hu Tao, Qingming is gone, do you still need our help?"

"No need. I'm not the only one in Wangsheng Hall. How can I do everything myself? I'll ask them to look for it when I get back. It's a big project, but it's just that simple. But now is the Lantern Festival, and everyone in Wangsheng Hall is on holiday. Let's wait until after the Lantern Festival."

"Anyway, I see that what Brother Qingming said is true. He should not be in as urgent need of help as others."

[Hahaha, everyone in Wangsheng Hall is on holiday, but Hu Tao is still trying to grab sales]

[Hu Tao, she is so real, I cried to death]

Boyang nodded in approval: "That's right, Brother Qingming has been an orphan since childhood, and he has never married or had children. He has no other family except his grandmother. This is why we gave priority to him to join the advance team. Although it sounds unpleasant, Brother Qingming's grandmother didn't have many years left to live..."

Boyang recalled that in front of the underground palace, Fushe asked the Qianyan Army who dared to join him as the advance team to enter this life-threatening underground palace and lure the ferocious beast out of Liyue.

Boyang was deeply impressed. Qingming was the first one to stand up.

Knowing that there was almost no hope of survival ahead, even though they had their country in their hearts, the soldiers still inevitably felt a moment of conflict when facing death.

"I want to go!"

Boyang still remembers that scene until now. When Fushe told everyone about the advance team, Qingming stepped forward without any hesitation, and all the other soldiers also responded to Fushe's request.

Finally, half of the soldiers were sent to the underground palace, and the rest returned to Liyue with the hopes of those who stayed behind, to tell the Emperor, to tell Liyue, and to tell the villagers—

The disaster of layered rocks was successfully suppressed!

"He was willing to enter the underground palace on his own initiative. I guess he had the same idea in his mind..."

Unfortunately, only a few returned. Without the underground palace to suppress their karma, the soldiers who stayed on the ground died or went crazy.

No one gave them hope of survival.

But everyone knows their achievements.
