Chapter 310: Secret Talk at Fulong Tree
"Master Ruo Tuo, have you been unblocked?"
Gu Sanqiu swallowed his saliva, wondering if he had done something outrageous.
"Break the seal? How can it be broken so easily? You think too much, kid."
Ruo Tuo glanced at Gu Sanqiu and said, "If I can break the seal, what you can see with your mental power now is not just the tree."
"Since you are asking me these questions, it means that you have some guesses in your mind. If you have anything else to ask, just tell me."
Gu Sanqiu was also very straightforward: "Did the Gu family have any branches in the past?"
"That's right."
"All dead?"
Ruo Tuo shook his head: "In that incident, only a part of the Gu family died. As for the others, I am not too sure."
"The head of the family back then was Gu Sheng. I don't know what was going on in that guy's mind. I know your family is now a single-line inheritance, but why the people in the branch disappeared is a mystery."
"Gu Sheng, that guy hides deeper than anyone else."
…
The clues, or the evidence, were lost again, and Ruota didn't know what the situation of the branch was.
According to his original estimate and what Ruota said today, he originally thought that the people of the branch lineage were collectively sacrificed in that incident, leaving only the incense of the main lineage to pass on.
But the problem now is that Ruota personally admitted what he did back then, but claimed that he was not aware of the disappearance of the Gu family branch, which is very strange.
Even if the other party wants to conceal it, the bigger things have already been admitted. The remaining members of the branch can only be regarded as a small matter, and it is impossible to lose the big picture because of the small things.
"You want to investigate this matter?"
Gu Sanqiu nodded: "When I encountered the evil spirits, they would shout out the words Gu Sheng and Main Vein in anger after sensing that I had used some kind of power. This is why I want to investigate this matter."
"Gu Sheng? Are you sure you heard it right?"
Ruota stood up and took two steps, thinking about what Gu Sanqiu had just told him.
“Even if those half-god and half-ghost guys hate your Gu family, they should be targeting God Gu.”
"During the Demon God War, in order to ease the pressure of the war, Gu Shen used all kinds of tricks. He shouldn't be targeting Gu Sheng. The target is wrong."
"During the Gu Sheng period... to be honest, the most horrific disaster was caused by me."
Tsk, it’s still a mess.
Gu Sanqiu frowned: "Master, you really don't know?"
"Nonsense, who can know the secret if it is sealed?"
Ruota said: "If you really want to know something, go ask that guy Morax. He must know more than me."
"If you ask the Emperor, I guess he will pretend to know nothing."
Gu Sanqiu was somewhat helpless. He kept saying that he couldn't tell anyone because he had signed a contract, and that children shouldn't participate when adults were talking. These two tricks were enough to get rid of him.
"Huh, that's exactly what he would do."
Ruota said, "Leave, boy, this is not a place you should live for long."
"The commotion just now was already loud enough . Some guys might come over to investigate the seal. For now, it's better for you to have less contact with them."
Gu Sanqiu raised his head: "One last question, sir."
"explain."
"You built this multi-element cage and said that people can talk inside without being discovered by others. Who are you guarding against?"
"Guard against whom?"
Ruo Tuo snorted twice: "This is something you don't have to consider, little brat."
"Okay, get out of here and don't disturb my sleep."
Gu Sanqiu smiled and said, "If I have time in the future, I will come to see you often, of course, provided I have time."
"There are a lot of things going on in Liyue these days. It seems that the next world-class revolution is about to come."
"Change? Will it be dangerous?"
"That must be very dangerous. The last time I went to Mondstadt, I encountered a demon from the old times. He was indeed too powerful."
Ruota looked at Gu Sanqiu, then lay down and closed his eyes.
"If you need me to take action, come to me. Even though I'm sealed, I can still take action against some low- ranking guys."
Gu Sanqiu was in a delicate mood.
If we use Lord Ruota to fight against the multi-headed rat snakes, most of Liyue Harbor will be shattered into powder.
"Go away. I am tired of releasing my power all the time."
Ruo Tuo's tone softened: "If you have time, come over if you want. I'll test your practice of the Shaking Mountain Sutra."
A ball of rock element enveloped Gu Sanqiu and flew directly towards the distant Liyue Harbor like a meteor.
The multi-element cage collapsed, and Ruo Tuo's shadow glanced in the direction of Jue Yunjian, but did not make any further moves.
Only ten minutes had passed.
"Rota."
A hooded figure arrived at the core of the seal.
"What did you tell him?"
"Hmph, it's you, come in and talk."
Ruota's real body opened his eyes in the rock ridge formation and looked at the newcomer with mockery.
"Morax, you are really paying attention to that boy."
"But none of this matters anymore. You are as insidious as Gu Sheng. No matter what you are planning, I must protect that kid!"
Ruo Tuo said in a low voice: "That is the last bloodline of the Gu family."
"What did you tell him?"
"That kid found out something, and I told him the names Gu Shen and Gu Sheng."
"Gu Shen, Gu Sheng..."
Zhongli chewed on these two words carefully: "Did you tell him the truth about Gu Sheng's incident?"
"Part of it."
Ruo Tuo's eyes showed heavy sorrow: "Whether they hate me or not, those little guys died because of me after all."
"As for the other part of the truth, let's wait for the little guy to find it himself. Gu Sheng can't have no arrangements for these things."
"Gu Sheng said back then that for the descendants of the Gu family, the truth of the matter would be left to fate, but he didn't expect that this matter would one day be dug up by those brainless evil spirits."
"According to what that madman said, the time has not come yet."
Ruo Tuo looked at Zhongli and said, "Moracus, that kid doesn't know anything now. You must have done this."
"Part of it."
Zhongli said slowly: "Gu Sheng is not that simple. Compared to Gu Shen, Gu Sheng's talent in combat is not outstanding, but he is gifted in strategy."
"Regarding some of the arrangements of the Gu family, he only told me a general idea of many things, and it was even ambiguous."
"He is hiding, hiding very deeply. He may have noticed something wrong. Most of the historical records and secret destruction of the Gu family were instructed by Gu Sheng. He has the same idea as me. The core is to ensure that generations of young people can grow up normally."
"Hide? What is there to hide between us? I've read all those obscure and old-fashioned love letters that Gu Sheng wrote to the girls he liked..."
Ruota didn't say anything else, but looked up at the sky thoughtfully, and then looked at Zhongli again.
The latter nodded slowly.
"Tsk, Gu Sheng knows the details, or even the truth?"
Even Ruo Tuo couldn't help but gasp: "Is that guy crazy to this extent?"
"No, it shouldn't be the truth, but for a person who is so smart that he is almost a demon, even if it is just a little clue, it is a reason and basis worth investigating."
Zhongli walked over and put his right hand on Ruota's face.
"Ruotu, have you figured it out?"
"Well, of course I do. This place is almost suffocating me. Just now, those three little guys wanted to come over to investigate, but I blasted them back."
"Then do you care about that little guy Sanqiu?"
"……certainly."
"I care about him, too."
Zhongli smiled and said, "Just think of it as doing it for him. Please wait a little longer."
