"You're a big boss now. You've really neglected this aspect of your affairs in the past. I think it's time to find someone to tie you up, otherwise I won't be able to worry about it all day long."
Gu Sanqiu quickly stretched out his hand: "Stop it, stop it, how can we have a family before the outsiders are eliminated? Sister, you don't have to persuade me."
】
This is a pure killer weapon, and it's the kind that occupies the moral high ground.
"The outsider has not been eliminated, so these words coming from your mouth are somewhat credible."
Ning Guang nodded: "It seems that my efforts today were in vain. It's boring."
Gu Sanqiu suddenly had a bad premonition: "What did you do?"
Ningguang put down the tea cup: "Before coming to the Rebirth Hall, I went to Baiwen to buy a lot of books on how to take care of children, from beginners to masters."
"If necessary, it's not impossible to spend a lot of money to find a few old people who are proficient in this field to help me solve my doubts."
"You also know that although I am a Tianquan star, I am not an omniscient and omnipotent existence. Some things are not clear after all, but if you want to learn it now, you have to do it early."
Ning Guang thought about it for a while: "Well, the books I bought will be given to Bu Bu Lu. As for whether Dr. Baizhu should give them away or spend his own money to build a book corner for guests to read, that's not something I would consider. .”
Gu Sanqiu:?
What's the meaning?
What a journey from beginner to proficient, why not from beginner to buried!
Sister, are you thinking too far?
Play a game and you don’t even pass the novice guide, but you want to reach the top of the server, and you even want to form a wild team to get the first kill, right?
"Calm down, you are thinking too much anyway."
Gu Sanqiu just wanted to run away, completely unable to understand the structure of his sister's brain circuit.
It’s so scary. Is this a common problem experienced by elders of a certain age?
Hutao ran over after washing up, and was naturally given a kind words by Ningguang. Her expression looked much gentler than when she was treating Gu Sanqiu.
A certain cook quickly ran out and ran to the North Country Bank.
What happened in the past two days was really terrifying. He had to make an appointment with Yaya to beat each other up to relax!
"Open the door, Qian Yanjun, you have committed a crime!"
When Beiguo Bank saw that it was Gu Sanqiu, no one dared to stop him. A security guard, who looked like he was clearly a Thunder Hammer guard "in disguise", secretly pointed to a certain room.
Then Gu Sanqiu rushed over and kicked the door open, and sure enough, he saw Yaya packing his things inside.
"Did you notice that I was coming and was about to run away?"
Dadalia was so stimulated by the words "You have committed a crime" that he picked up his weapon. When he saw that the person coming was Gu Sanqiu, instead of putting down his bow and arrow, he shot an arrow directly.
"Are you trying to scare me to death?!"
Gu Sanqiu smashed the elemental arrow with a slap and said, "If you don't do bad things, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door."
"I didn't do anything wrong, and you're not a ghost either."
Yaya looked Gu Sanqiu up and down, showing a very satisfied look.
"You came just in time. I was just about to go to the Shijin Club to find you."
Gu Sanqiu clenched his fist: "Do you also want to have a fight? It seems that we really have a good understanding."
"Fart, who wants to fight with you!"
Yaya hugged Gu Sanqiu's shoulders: "You come with me to Mondstadt. I'm worried about not having a ride. If you're here, I don't have to ride the waves and cross the sea."
Gu Sanqiu: "I just came back from Mondstadt not long ago. If you want to go with you, please stay away."
"It's okay. It's not impossible for you to give me a ride."
Yaya was stunned for a moment: "Didn't the Ten Gold Club give you the letter?"
Gu Sanqiu was stunned at the same time: "What letter."
"Oops, I forgot about this. I have your letter here."
YaYa rummaged through the box and took out a letter.
"The letter sent by my sworn brother invited us to come and play. It seems that his fathers have prepared a celebration party for him."
"After all, a birthday once every four years is too abstract, so I celebrated it today."
Gu Sanqiu read the letter: "That boy Bennett? But what the hell is a sworn brother? You don't often have contact with him, do you?"
"And your uncle, you can just take this kind of letter to me, but you still haven't found a time to send it over. If I hadn't come over today, I would have missed it."
In my impression, when they went deep into the secret realm, Yaya seemed to be purified by Bennett and treated him directly as his younger brother.
It turned out to be interesting later on, and from time to time I would give away some specialties from the other six countries.
YaYa looked matter-of-fact: "Yes, is there a problem?"
"This is my sworn brother, so of course I have to treat him well. Anyway, my executive officer funds are often exhausted, so it's completely normal to give him something."
"Anyway, Pantalone's ability to make money is top-notch, and my expenses are nothing among the executives."
Gu Sanqiu took out a small notebook and said, "Hmm, let's remember that Mr. Zhidong Executive Officer is suspected of having a special tendency. In the future, Qian Yanjun, who patrols the streets, must pay attention to him and let him have less contact with children."
"I'll kill you, bastard!"
Yaya said angrily: "Anyway, it's not too late. It's also good for you to come with me. You can use your identity as the Son of the West Wind to gain the title of my executive officer."
Gu Sanqiu couldn't help but glance at him: "You are self-aware."
"Nonsense! With our speed, we can leave at noon. Do you have time?"
"Yes, but I have to go back and report it."
Yaya was stunned: "Go back and report?"
Then, Yaya followed Gu Sanqiu to the Hall of Purity with a dull look on his face, watching him honestly report his itinerary to Hutao Ningguang and the others.
Finally, after Yi Hutao grabbed Gu Sanqiu's face and looked around for a few minutes, a certain long-haired man was allowed to go out by the master of the Hall of Rebirth.
"When did you become such a mother-in-law?"
On the way, or in the sky to be precise, Yaya couldn't help but ask.
"In the past, if you wanted to go somewhere, shouldn't you leave right away? Why do you have to tell others honestly this time?"
Gu Sanqiu shook his head: "You don't understand. I have committed a crime recently, so I have to be more honest."
"I wanted to set off some fireworks a couple of days ago."
Yaya understood instantly: "Are you going to blow up some place, only to be arrested on the spot by Tianquan Star?"
"I said I was going to set off fireworks, but I didn't say where I was going to blow up!"
"I still don't understand you? The fireworks you are talking about would be weird if they didn't explode!"
The two of them quarreled a few times along the way. We were not outsiders anyway, so we only talked about hurtful people.
But Yaya also noticed something was wrong. In the end, he used the excuse of wanting to practice, and his expression became slightly solemn.
He finally saw that Sanqiu's so-called need to report before going out was not something he wanted to do, but was probably requested by Hall Master Hu.
Even when he was joking, this guy had a kind of indifference that seemed to be engraved in his bones.
Even now that Sanqiu Yufeng was riding on the clouds with him, Yaya felt inexplicably that there was a long distance between the two of them, which he might not be able to reach even if he opened his bow with all his strength.
But the problem is that he wasn't like this before.
If you weren't as sensitive to facial expressions as you are, probably only people with close relationships would be able to tell that something was wrong.
Mentality is very important when fighting, and it may even be related to the speed of the attack and the weight of the moves. Yaya can naturally develop such a keen awareness.
Lighting fireworks, even if the big explosion fails, it should be more than that, right?
Dadalia didn't believe that this dirty tactical dog couldn't think of anything he could think of.
To put it bluntly, in Teyvat's current situation, if you really want to do something, you can really find a place casually, and there is never a lack of space and opportunities.
Yaya couldn't figure out the reason, but in the Hall of Rebirth, a "mysterious guest" sat opposite Ningguang, and the two of them were sipping tea in silence.
"Mr. Zhongli, the qi in my brother's body...can it be cured?"
After thinking about it, Ningguang still did not call Zhongli the word "Emperor", so as not to ruin some kind of plan.
"If it can be cured, just communicate more with people and walk around the world more."
Zhong Li said: "If this were not the case, the hall master would not be able to let Brother Gu out so easily. He obviously also knows how to deal with this problem."
Ning Guang suddenly had a very strange feeling. In order to maintain the apparent situation, the father and son treated each other as brothers every time they met officially.
Sure enough, the reality is much more outrageous than the show.
"Now it's up to him."
Zhongli sighed. He knew what it was like, but there was nothing he could do about it.
The same was true for Little Saint back then. He never told anyone what he was thinking, and he became increasingly cold.
Until the end, even when Xiao Hei was in front of her, she looked like she was paying no attention to anyone.
...
After riding the clouds all the way, when they arrived outside Mondstadt, Gu Sanqiu dropped Yaya, patted his sleeves and showed a slight disgust.
"I finally understand why the other executives dislike you, and you have to be escorted when you are on your way."
"Fart, if this was at sea, I would be no worse than you."
YaYa frowned: "If it's at sea, with the same strength, except for a freak like you, no one else may be able to match me."
"Then next time we hold a summer surfing competition in Liyue, you will be the judge and lifeguard for me."
Yaya pouted: "Can't we have a fishing competition? Such a great place."
"You probably need to discuss this with Tianshu Xing."
Gu Sanqiu asked: "What are you going to give Bennett? Tell me what you are planning to give to Bennett for reference."
"Oh, this."
Yaya took out a long sword with a very simple shape: "That boy will definitely not accept anything too expensive. I plan to upgrade his weapon configuration."
"How should I put it? Although that boy's traveling sword is very convenient and has many uses, the quality is really not that good."
Gu Sanqiu glanced at it: "What do you mean by this weapon?"
Out of respect for the gift, he did not test the quality of the sword.
"This is what I redeemed from the Fools with my merits. It is a good weapon prototype that the people below obtained while exploring the ruins."
YaYa shrugged his shoulders: "To be honest, it takes a lot of effort to polish a good sword that has reappeared in the world to such a dusty state."
In short, it downgrades the ultimate color to mosaic quality.
"You gave me a sword, so I think I'll give you a martial arts-style body armor. A normal armor is not suitable for adventurers who run into wild areas and messy terrain every day."
Gu Sanqiu thought for a while: "I do have good body armor here, but it may take a while to polish it. Ask the fools here to prepare the packaging for me."
Just kidding, isn't it just making something old? The combination of wind and rock is so convenient for this kind of thing.
"Okay, okay, since you are what they call a 'boy-adult', I won't charge you for this little thing."
Yaya agreed wholeheartedly, and then saw the other party take out a set of protective armor. With a slight twist of strength in his hand, there were many traces of sand wear on it.
YaYa:?
"You say you need some time?!"
"Nonsense, the resting stage does not count as time, right? With this speed and power, the entire body armor is now hot. Do you expect me to bring a set of high-temperature body armor to give away?"
Gu Sanqiu reached out and touched it, and he left a layer of rock crest shield runes on the protective armor.
Even if the runes are activated, they can absorb elemental power on their own to replenish their consumption.
Yaya looks quite enthusiastic. After all, strictly speaking, he is the first person to be disgusted by the rock crest shield, so he naturally knows the benefits.
Gu Sanqiu put away his protective armor and clasped his hands behind his back: "Let's go. It's been a while since I've seen that kid."
As for the birthday party, although the time is not right, we should be allowed to have two drinks?
...
"Brother Dadalia, and brother Sanqiu, I didn't expect you all to come!"
Bennett went out to greet them. When he saw the two of them, he immediately laughed and felt a little excited.
The former often gave him some gifts and exchanged letters about their current situation. Even though they rarely met, their relationship was quite close.
Gu Sanqiu, on the other hand, gave him a recipe after returning from the secret realm to help his fathers maintain their health. The kindness was not small.
Although the east wind guard traveled to Mondstadt later, and the wind god's blessing cured the fathers' chronic diseases, it was still the best prescription for health.
"What's wrong, you brat, don't you still want us to come?"
Yaya hugged Bennett and said, "You brat, it seems I have to punish you by drinking two more drinks today."
"Hey, actually I thought about it when I wrote the letter."
Bennett wiped the bridge of his nose: "Both eldest brothers are very busy people. I originally thought you didn't have time to come over. I'm sorry."
"Haha, you are my sworn brother, how could you not come?"
Ducky and Bennett walked into the house, and the retired adventurer dads visibly tensed up when they saw Dadalia.
Then Gu Sanqiu also walked in closely behind him, and everyone felt relieved instantly.
Well, the Holy Sons of West Wind are here, no problem.
YaYa is indeed very prescient.
Gu Sanqiu sighed, then looked around.
This is Bennett's home. It is actually a retirement place that these old adventurers bought together after they retired. It has a large garden, suitable for the elderly to bask in the sun.
However, now it has become a place for Bennett's guests to drink tea and rest.
Gu Sanqiu also saw a few old people drinking with their peers. He thought they must be friends of Bennett's father.
But drinking before dinner is a bit abstract.
"Are you the Wind and Sand Emperor who came from the distant Heavenly Stone Temple? Is this meeting the guidance of fate or the fate of reincarnation?"
A girl with an eye patch came over with a night crow with rippling thunder elements.
"Welcome, Emperor of the Divine Court, I am the Lord of the Pure Land of Youye, the Princess of Sin, and I have come here due to many invitations from devout knights."
Night Crow spoke with a gentle tone.
"My lady means to welcome you, His Royal Highness the Son."
"Oz!"
The Princess of Judgment, Fischer, the Lord of Youye Pure Land, paused and looked at Yecrow with some embarrassment. The younger daughter's attitude regained the upper hand.
Gu Sanqiu glanced over with an indifferent expression.
Night Crow, unfortunately, is smaller in size, and he is also a male. The latter is the important point.
Oz trembled all over, feeling like he was being targeted by an extremely dangerous beast.
This little girl, tut tut.
Gu Sanqiu looked a little strange.
It wasn't that Fischer's language habits made him uncomfortable.
No matter how good he is in the second grade, he will definitely not be able to match the wonderful language habits of the little carrot girl Lan Bailijia.
He understood what Fischer said, but he just felt that the timing of the other person's coming to talk was strange.
Bennett took Yaya to socialize, and he happened to be in a strange stage where no one spoke to or greeted him.
Then Fischer came over, which can be seen as the other party introducing him into the circle and atmosphere.
But the problem is that this kind of thing is usually done by the host.
Interesting, interesting.
Gu Sanqiu nodded to Fischer, with a serious look on his face that made Fischer look a little nervous.
To put it bluntly, she is a little girl who is not very socially savvy and has some slight social anxiety.
"It turns out to be Her Royal Highness, disrespectful and disrespectful."
"Pindao came to this world from the Heavenly Palace in the Eastern God Realm. He is just one of thousands of human beings. Today I have the honor to meet Her Royal Highness. I am deeply honored."
Fischer:? ? ?
"But, shouldn't Liyue be in the west of Mondstadt?!"
Oz coughed dryly: "Uh-huh, miss."
"Huh? Oh oh oh!"
Fischer entered the scene in a second: "It turns out that he is a son of the gods and a distinguished guest from heaven. However, I have lost my etiquette. It is my honor to be able to explain the impermanence of fate with such a noble and mysterious visitor as you."
Oz immediately shut up. He found that His Highness the Holy Son did not need him to translate the lady's special language at all.
As expected of His Royal Highness the Holy Son!
"Destiny is unpredictable, but even after countless reincarnations since heaven, the world still has the same color as before. This is the real appearance, which is sad and sighing."
Fischer: ...
What's the meaning?
Oz explained softly: "Miss, His Royal Highness the Holy Son means that when he returns to his old place, everything will still be full of intimacy and make him feel comfortable."
Well, it seems that now is not the time to shut up.
His Royal Highness the Holy Son's skills are much deeper than the young lady's.
Fischer snorted: "I see, I don't know where the heaven is in the world. If I have time in my busy schedule, I would like to visit you from the Pure Land of Youye."
Gu Sanqiu smiled: "The Heavenly Court is high above the Thirty-three Heavens and the Outer Heaven. It is the place where all dharma and the Wanshizun sit. If Your Royal Highness is interested, when the time is right, I can lead the way for you."
Oz continued to translate: "Miss, His Royal Highness the Holy Son means that you are welcome to visit Liyue when you are free."
Fischer nodded "proudly".
"I see. Then, please allow me, the son of God's Domain and the distinguished guest of Heaven, to give me some time. The fate of Youye Pure Land is in chaos, and there are still many things that I need to take care of."
"After I sort out my destiny and reorganize the past and future for Youye Pure Land, I will go to heaven to see the glory."
The elderly people around:? ? ?
What are these two talking about? !
Is it possible that the times are developing too fast, and these old bones can no longer understand the new slang of the Adventurers Association?
How should I put it, although this was their first meeting, Fischer's affection for Gu Sanqiu gradually increased.
For the first time in her life, the Princess of Judgment met a magical being who could talk to her without any guidance!
Yaya shouted: "Hey, Sanqiu, come over and show your hands!"
Gu Sanqiu smiled slightly: "I have not been to the mortal world for many years, so I have to excuse myself a little at this time to show the immortal dishes to many people in the world. I hope your Royal Highness will forgive me."
Oz continues to function as a ruthless translation machine.
"Miss, His Royal Highness the Son of God means that he is going to help in the kitchen. I hope that Miss will taste Liyue's food later."
When Gu Sanqiu came over, Yaya looked over with a half-smile.
"Son of Heaven, huh?"
"In terms of common rationality, there is nothing wrong with this statement."
If I could contact the Heavenly Court, I would have asked the heavenly soldiers and generals to come to the mortal world and kill all the bosses who disrupted the situation. The Teyvat Continent will become the Liyue Continent in minutes.
Yaya couldn't help but laugh and said: "Then what are the dishes of the Immortal family?"
"Salad in a glass bag with pure heart, with sweet flower juice on the left."
"ah?!"
At dinner time, all the guests arrived, Gu Sanqiu's "worn version of the body armor" had also been cooled down, and he also thanked the members of the Fools who came to deliver the goods.
By the way, I also brought in a certain little red riding hood who was carrying a small schoolbag to an appointment after class.
To be precise, it should be the little wolf boy of the Ultimate Society who had just arrived but was standing at the door at a loss holding a basket full of hook nuts, and pulled him in.
If he wasn't caught, this little kid would probably run away as soon as he put down the hook fruit.
Little Red Riding Hood and Barbara, who arrived later, are the two biggest "accomplices".
How should I put it, although due to his reputation, Bennett does not have many friends, but those who can be considered friends are now sitting at the dinner table.
In a sense, this can be regarded as a unique kind of "no white man", although this metaphor is somewhat inappropriate.
Ya Ya presented his specialty "Extreme Fishing". Although the appearance of half of the octopus tentacles hanging on the edge of the bowl was a bit eye-catching, the taste was indeed good.
Gu Sanqiu didn't use any "Chinese medicine salad" to show off his dark cooking skills. Instead, he made a longevity peach cake, which sounded a bit old-fashioned.
In addition to gifts, Xiao Keli and Barbara also prepared handmade birthday hats for Bennett.
The six-star Vulcan was held down by Gu Sanqiu and Yaya, one on the left and the other on the right, and Barbara was asked to put on a light makeup on Bennett, who was wearing a birthday hat.
On weekdays, it’s okay to be frizzy and have some bumps and bruises, but since it’s my birthday, I naturally have to show everyone a better look.
After all, we are going to take pictures later.
Although Bennett felt a little ashamed, after all, it was indeed the first time for him to put on makeup.
"Happy birthday to you--"
Under the cheers of a group of elderly people, everyone sang Happy Birthday to Bennett quite neatly. His fathers showed off their unique skills in playing, playing and singing, and the rhythm was unexpectedly matched.
It seems that these old people are preparing for Bennett's birthday party for more than a day or two.
Needless to say, it takes a lot of effort to integrate this kind of multi-instrument and multi-form ensemble into one.
The elderly loved the adopted child unreservedly, and Bennett also shined upon his fathers with fiery affection.
When the song ended, Bennett was so excited that tears came to his eyes. He stood up and blew out the candles vigorously. Thanks to the quality of the cake.
Looking at Bennett's red face, Gu Sanqiu felt like he was seeing the old wolf who blew away the piggy house.
"Make a wish, Bennett."
The fathers patted Bennett's head one by one with their rough hands, as if blessing their dearest child.
The relationship between them is the best proof that emotions can transcend the limitations of blood.
Bennett clasped his hands together and forced himself to calm down.
"I, I hope that everyone will be well. Dads are getting healthier and healthier, and can still get together with everyone next year!"
A very simple wish, but certainly Bennett-like.
A scorching flame, but full of "plainness is true" and "peace is blessing".
The video camera rang, and the scene was frozen at the moment when everyone was toasting and surrounding Bennett, who was smiling with tears on his face.
Happy birthday, Bennett.
