After being hit in the face by the system, I swapped bodies with Zhongli

Chapter 400: It is like a mirror reflecting everything in front of it exactly as it is

The tone of the Dragon King Ruotu was not kind as usual: "Sweet words and flattering appearance."

Yuan Zhuoyue didn't care about his attitude and just responded with a warm smile.

Seeing this scene, Gui finally did not interfere too much. After all, the two people in front of him were getting along peacefully.

Since the first time they met, King Ruotu had shown great resistance. It was already a good thing that he could face Yuan Zhuoyue so calmly.

The most that Guizhong could do was to try to mediate between the two parties when conflicts arose, or perhaps to take the Dragon King Ruota away from Yuan Zhuoyue.

This physical isolation can help to resolve the conflicts that arise between the two parties.

And now in this relatively peaceful atmosphere, Gui Zhong felt that he didn't need to do anything superfluous for the time being, either asking King Ruota to suppress his temper and be tolerant, or asking Yuan Zhuoyue to tolerate King Ruota's unkind behavior.

Since the two of them can sit here and have a good talk instead of quarreling or escalating into a physical conflict.

That can also explain to some extent that Ruotu Dragon King and Yuan Zhuoyue have now tacitly accepted this way of getting along.

Therefore, there is no need for the influence of a third party to break this very delicate balance.

Gui Zhong ignored the sharp confrontation in front of him, and then explained his purpose to the current owner of this courtyard: "... I am now in the mortal world, and I also have the identity of a 'human'. I just got the news that the latest batch of experimental textile machines in the Weaving Department have drawbacks that were not apparent during the design, but have gradually appeared in practice. I am a consultant, and the address I left at the beginning was also Mi Nu's Zi Wei Workshop, so that they would not be unable to find me when the time comes, so I came here first to settle down."

Yuan Zhuoyue just nodded slightly and said, "I see."

Then his eyes turned to the Dragon King Ruota.

The Dragon King Ruo Tuo first glanced at Gui Zhong, and then said in a condescending manner: "...the materials used in those textile machines are also some newly developed forging materials, so let me take a look at the degree of wear and tear of these parts."

Yuan Zhuoyue continued to nod, but did not say whether he believed it or not. It was just that the other party could give such a reasonable reason, so Yuan Zhuoyue naturally would not go up and undermine it and say that he did not believe this excuse.

Although she couldn't understand why the Dragon King Ruota, who had hurriedly said goodbye to her, came back not long after and brought Guizhong with him.

But Yuan Zhuoyue also believed that since the two of them gave this reason, it meant that it was indeed true, but the order of priority was just slightly shifted.

Let this excuse now serve as reasonable evidence of their late-night visit.

In another sense, the fact that these two gods were willing to find all kinds of excuses and pretexts to whitewash their current actions which were tantamount to surveillance also showed that they valued her very much.

Yuan Zhuoyue has never been the kind of person who gets to the bottom of things, and it doesn't matter to her whether they are wary of her or not. As long as their actions don't cause her any discomfort, Yuan Zhuoyue can maintain that state of tacit approval by turning a blind eye.

So she also cooperated and said: "In this case, first things first, you should rest first and conserve your energy so that you can deal with those tedious duties tomorrow."

The Dragon King Rudra still looked indifferent and unwilling to say more.

Gui Zhong had a smiling face and said softly, "You are the same. It must have been a great drain on you to calm down the disaster a few days ago. You need to take good care of yourself."

After some polite exchanges, Yuan Zhuoyue returned to her room without any reluctance. What Gui Zhong said was indeed true. Sealing those [filthy] powers a few days ago did make her feel exhausted.

And for some reason, on this land of Liyue, the power accumulated in his body was recovering too slowly compared to the past.

Even after more than a day had passed, she could clearly feel that the energy that was missing from her body had not been replenished in time.

In addition to spending her own strength in the past few days to stabilize those dream realms of all sizes.

Part of the power served as shackles, firmly restraining the "filth" in the rock abyss and preventing the negative energy from spreading out.

As for the cluster of golden flame that she had handed over to Master Liuyun Jiefeng, to be precise it was not entirely her power, but her power and the medium that could mobilize her power.

That is why the effect of the golden flames in the hands of the immortals in Liyue, which were constantly differentiating, has not weakened in the slightest compared to the initial effect.

In order to resist the spread of [filth] and prevent these forces that would bring disaster from spreading in the land of Liyue, the immortals, in addition to doing their best, used the golden flame that could restrain the power of [filth].

So during these days, Yuan Zhuoyue's strength has been continuously consumed, and now she has a feeling that she is spending more than she earns.

It made her feel tired and even hungry...

Yuan Zhuoyue was really worried. If Morax couldn't come back in time, she would be so hungry that she might just start eating anything she picked up.

Gui Zhong and the Dragon King Ruota were still staying in the courtyard and had not gone back to their respective rooms.

After the familiar yet unfamiliar figure completely disappeared from his sight, King Ruotu finally put down the teacup in his hand that he had been stroking for a long time.

The teacup fell to the ground and hit the stone table, making a clear and pleasant sound like a jade chime.

Under the moonlight, the tea, which exuded a light golden and translucent luster, swayed slightly in the cup, shattering the moonlight reflected in it.

But compared with the previous stern face and impatient expression.

The expression of the Dragon King Ruota was much calmer at this time: "...He is much more eloquent than Morax. I never thought that this guy actually has two faces. His attitude towards us and that little girl is completely different."

Gui Zhong's expression at this moment became a little serious: "No...his attitude may not have changed from the beginning to the end."

The Dragon King Ruotu looked surprised: "What?"

Gui Zhong said in a deep voice: "Perhaps his current words and deeds are very similar to Morax, or perhaps his appearance is just a disguise... But the feedback from the immortals who have been with him these days, as well as your evaluation, and the scene I saw and heard just now..."

But at this point, Guizhong's voice suddenly stopped, and after a while he slowly said: "I don't know whether he did it on purpose or unintentionally... But I think he is like a mirror, reflecting everything that is presented to him intactly."
