"If it's convenient, would you like me to reveal my identity and communicate with him? At most, Liben knows that I am a senior member of the Ten Gold Club, but he may not necessarily know that I am the boss behind the scenes."
Zhong Li shook his head: "It's just a little convenient. This kind of thing doesn't require high-level intervention. Maybe you don't know much about it yourself, but with your current status and strength, your weight in the outside world is not what it used to be."
Really?
Gu Sanqiu recalled and analyzed carefully, and began to look through his credit book page by page.
Does that really seem to be the case?
It seems that I have really reached the level of "famous throughout the continent". After my identity is revealed, others have to tremble and worry about saying something wrong.
But it’s just that it doesn’t show up well in Liyue Port and in my own small circle.
There are fathers and uncles who can suppress you with one hand, and sisters who can hang you in Qunyu Pavilion and beat you to death, and in the middle there are a bunch of brothers and sisters who don't care what your identity is.
Even the people of Liyue Port have no respect for themselves. They have appeared too many times since childhood, and they are completely different from Liuyun Xieyue and others.
But if it were anyone else, they would really dare to sit on the seat with half of their buttocks hunched over and squatting slightly, just waiting for the boss to respond immediately after speaking.
The environment misleads to belong to yes.
"I haven't had much trouble with you recently. This failure will definitely make the people in the abyss be more vigilant. Don't even think about going down to explore the road."
Zhong Li saw through Gu Sanqiu's thoughts at a glance: "It's different down there than on the ground. If something happens to you, no one can really save you."
"Hey, were you discovered so soon?"
Gu Sanqiu smiled like an uncle.
"Dad, Xiao Hei has been active down there. In addition to snatching sprouts, he probably has other tasks."
Zhongli nodded: "Well, I originally planned to find some classics to cure that thing on you, but now you won't need it if you solve it yourself."
Gu Sanqiu rolled his eyes: "Don't use words like this to deal with me just after it happened. Could it be that he did nothing but grab things before?"
"Now is not the time to tell you this. You just need to know that he has another mission."
Zhongli walked out of the incense room: "There are many secrets in this world, such as the thing next to Mond, or the details of the Great Strata Abyss a thousand years ago."
"Whenever your life star lights up the third or fourth constellation, you will be qualified to participate in these things."
"At least in the current superficial peace, everyone's methods are still abiding by some rules of the game, but if it turns to darkness, the war will not stop so easily."
Zhongli looked in the direction of Yunlaihai: "Just like this incident, ordinary people can't even hear the loud noise in Yunlaihai."
Gu Sanqiu scratched his head: "It's good if you can't hear anything. Loud noise will cause panic, which is inconsistent with your original intention of establishing Liyue, dad."
Zhongli said: "That's fine, but the truth has been erased, hasn't it?"
"The ultimate principle of alchemy, equal exchange."
Gu Sanqiu said seriously: "There is no benefit in knowing too much."
"Exchange of equal value, in terms of universal rationality, is indeed the most reasonable thing."
Zhongli put his right hand on Gu Sanqiu's shoulder: "Have you ever regretted it?"
"You choose your own path, and you have to walk it even on your knees."
Gu Sanqiu chuckled: "The more you give up, the more you will get. If I lose my responsibility in my generation, then I will have no shame to meet my ancestors when I die."
"The world laughs at me and slanders me in every way, but that's just because they don't understand."
"Either you are underage, or you are an imbecile who doesn't even know how to write the word responsibility when you grow up."
Gu Sanqiu clenched his fists: "I'm going my own way, and what other people say has nothing to do with me."
"Young men don't know the feeling of sorrow, so they forcefully talk about sorrow in order to compose new words."
"Now that I know all the sorrow, I just say "beep——".
Zhongli was relieved that although swearing was not recommended, the silly boy's mental health was still fine.
Just when Zhongli was about to say a few words of encouragement, Gu Sanqiu followed suit.
"After all, I am the second generation ruler of Liyue. Do you understand the value of Morax's second generation? Dad."
The words of encouragement in Zhongli's mouth turned into a long sigh.
It’s over, I’m going to be beaten!
Gu Sanqiu quickly changed the subject: "I can't talk about anything else. The old man under my feet can always tell me, dad, what kind of person he is."
"You can also think of the residue left after death as the remaining ashes. In addition to remembering me, it is probably also connected to the blood of the Gu family."
"That's it."
The father and son stood in the courtyard and looked up at the sky, feeling a sense of harmony that was sad for spring and autumn, even though what they were thinking in their hearts was a little different.
"Qiuqiu, open the door, I know you are at home!"
There was a loud knock on the door: "Hurry up, I have something important to do with you!"
Girl?
Gu Sanqiu opened the door and stretched out his head to look at Hu Tao, who was in high spirits.
"What are you doing here? Why are you so impatient?"
"Oh, come with me and you will know!"
Hu Tao held Gu Sanqiu's head with both hands and pulled it out hard. After pulling the other person staggering, the door opened completely, just in time to see Zhongli inside.
"Eh? Zhongli is here too. It just so happens that I don't have to go looking for you everywhere."
Hu Tao's eyes lit up: "Come with me, this hall master is really lucky today."
Gu Sanqiu felt relieved. It didn't look like some evil seal had been broken, so there should be no big problem.
Zhongli nodded: "Master, I have personal matters to attend to, so I won't accompany you."
"Where do you get your private business from? You, a bachelor who doesn't even have a lover, do you have any private business? You are either hanging around or listening to books and plays."
Hu Tao mobilized the majesty of the hall master: "Follow me, and I will give you half the increase as a subsidy when your salary is paid next month!"
Wait, something seems wrong?
Gu Sanqiu secretly thought, "Oh no," there seems to be something wrong with Hall Master Hu, who is usually very calculating, talking like this?
Zhong Li also thought of the same point: "It's not like I'm going to watch a show or drink tea. It's just that a friend who came back from afar wants to get together with me."
Hu Tao narrowed his eyes: "Is it true? Anyone who deceives this hall master will spend his whole life attending the theater without a seat."
Go ahead, what a cruel curse.
Is there any other matching plan such as "When listening to a book, what the storyteller tells is never new", "When taking a walk, I will always be disturbed by all kinds of people and cannot be pure"?
But it happened to be a professional counterpart, and now I guess dad wouldn’t even dare to use the excuse of “I won’t bother you young people.”
Zhongli had no choice but to nod: "Since it is the hall master who invites you, I will not refuse."
"It's about time you let me go."
Gu Sanqiu patted Hu Tao's hand and signaled him to let go of his head. He was about to turn into a carrot pulled out of the ground by Hu Tao.
He is satisfied with his body shape and does not want to increase the length of his neck.
