Chapter 361: Zhongli's Strange Suggestion
Not far away, a girl with twin ponytails and a black hat ran over excitedly, jumped up from a distance and opened her arms to Gu Sanqiu.
"Hey, long time no see~"
Gu Sanqiu put away his weapon, caught Hu Tao, and then subconsciously weighed it.
"Have you gained weight?"
…
"I'll bite you to death, Gu Sanqiu!"
Hu Tao pushed Gu Sanqiu away and jumped back to the ground, grinning at him.
"Is there a man who tells a girl she's fat the first time he meets her?"
Gu Sanqiu pointed at himself silently.
"Huh, you're just a weird guy."
Walnut pouted, turned her head away, and crossed her arms, looking very unhappy.
"Why are you here?"
"This is one of the last few outbreak points, and our Rebirth Hall happened to be assigned here."
Hu Tao then began to look around at the surrounding environment: "There are so many fire elements, did you use that large-scale magic?"
"almost."
It’s better not to tell her about the evil eye for now. It’s too evil.
Gu Sanqiu put his hands on Hu Tao's shoulders, then looked thoughtfully at Zhongli who was walking slowly behind him.
"Let me ask you something. When did you start assigning tasks to deal with the remaining outbreak points?"
"Eh? Why are you asking that?"
Hu Tao turned her head and looked at Gu Sanqiu: "It happened not long ago. Everyone has almost dealt with it. The remaining groups can form teams to deal with it one by one and then go home for dinner. What a convenient thing."
"Yeah, it's really convenient."
Gu Sanqiu took out a comb, took off Hu Tao's hat and put it on his own head, then began to comb his hair.
"I told you not to run around like a madman all day long. This is the first time I've seen a girl with such messy hair. You should learn from Keqing in this regard."
Gu Sanqiu looked disdainful: "You need to pay attention to your personal appearance and hygiene, understand?"
"Oh my, you're so annoying."
Hu Tao launched a twin-tail attack, shaking her head to refuse Gu Sanqiu's Tony service, but Gu Sanqiu directly pressed her entire head with his other hand, and she became quiet like a cat being grabbed by the scruff of the neck.
"Stay still. You and Brother Zhongli are the only two of you in Wangsheng Hall who are here to deal with a flashpoint?"
"Originally there were many people involved, but then Zhongli remembered some records of earth vein explosions in ancient books, so he asked everyone to write down some details and split up to leave it to others. After all, knowing more will make you safer."
" Is that so..."
Gu Sanqiu didn't look directly at Zhongli who was approaching him, because he was afraid that he might accidentally reveal something.
The Abyss Mage said that the troublemakers had arrived, which proved that they had stationed people on the periphery.
The battle without murderous intent was enough to show that the Abyss Mage had no ill will towards him at least at that time, and he had roughly two purposes for coming to the ground.
First, test your own strength; second, take a look at the contents on the bamboo slips to test whether you can understand them.
However, he really couldn't understand a single word of that scribble-like thing. The pictures on it also had a lot of style like those of old gods. Apart from being able to recognize the colors, he had no idea what was recorded on it.
Originally, the process of asking questions was going quite smoothly, and then Hu Tao and the old man came running over.
coincide?
Or did he come here with a clear purpose to disturb me, or to stop me from having too much communication with the Cult of the Abyss?
After combing his hair, Gu Sanqiu put the hat back and patted Hu Tao on the shoulder.
"Okay, remember to bring a comb with you when you go out next time, and pay more attention to your appearance."
"Hey, I won't take it."
Hu Tao raised her head and said, "You asked me to take you but I refused. I'm going to piss you off to death."
"I was going to make you a comb-shaped magical instrument, but now I think I'd rather forget it."
"I'll take it, I'll take it! Remember to send the comb to the Wangsheng Hall. If it's not a good weapon, I won't accept it!"
"very good."
Gu Sanqiu took back the comb and began to use the rock element to absorb the remaining fire element from the soil.
If the fire of the evil eye is allowed to rage in this area, it will soon become a complete wasteland and may even affect the surrounding areas.
The environment is easy to solve, but it would be a bit troublesome if the guys from the Abyss Cult interfere, and I might have to make another trip.
"Brother Gu, long time no see."
Gu Sanqiu resumed his usual smile: "Long time no see, Brother Zhongli, have you taken care of any business recently?"
"Business? Does the Gu family also lack money?"
"No, no, no, it's just for fun. I want to hear something interesting."
Zhongli put his hand on his chin and said, "Well, speaking of interesting things, it seems that a very interesting store has opened in Liyue recently. It is a type that I have never seen before."
"A type you've never seen before?"
Gu Sanqiu raised his eyebrows: "What, fighting?"
"In Liyue Harbor, places like gladiatorial contests are not allowed to be held."
Zhongli said, "It seems to be a place where you can watch people dancing, eat and drink tea, and occasionally there are some songs imported from foreign countries."
…
It doesn't sound like a serious place.
"Zhongli!"
Hu Tao bared his teeth and said, "Why are you encouraging San Qiu to go to that kind of place? You don't want to go there so you need to find a companion, do you?"
"That kind of place?"
Gu Sanqiu's mouth twitched: "I mean...very improper?"
"It can't be called an indecent place."
Zhongli's expression was calm, and if you didn't know him well, you would think he was giving an academic presentation.
"Well, from a general rational point of view, as long as you don't have that kind of mentality to appreciate singing and dancing, to use the words of the current young generation, it can only be called marginal."
Hey, old man, please pay attention to your image. You don’t really think I don’t know who you are.
Gu Sanqiu's forehead was covered with sweat. Although these things could be kept as a dark history after his identity was exposed, he would not dare to keep the old man's dark history even if he had a hundred guts.
Well, wait a minute, I am a brave incense burner. What does it matter if it’s just an old man’s dark history? I’ll just keep it!
Gu Sanqiu calmed down and said, "Brother Zhongli mentioned that store, which proves that he must know something about the things there. I wonder why he recommended it to me."
"Well, it's just some gossip."
Zhongli shook his head: "Some people say that there seems to be something wrong in that dance hall, but it is just gossip and should not be taken seriously."
"As a person who offers incense, I think Brother Gu would be interested in this kind of thing."
The dance hall that the old man specifically mentioned?
Gu Sanqiu thought about it. It’s not that there aren’t places like Liyue Harbor that skirt the line, but they are basically only circulated among the target customers, probably similar to “Where to go tonight” and then the appearance of Brother Dong’s smile.
To be able to do this openly, apart from having someone in high positions, there should also be a set of internal and external service links. The outside is full of singing and dancing, but the inside is not so clear.
Originally, this kind of thing wasn't his business, but since the old man had mentioned it, he went there reluctantly.
Gu Sanqiu nodded seriously.
This doesn't count as hanging around in a place with fireworks, this counts as following the advice of the elders and making a secret visit!
