Chapter 370: The Companionship of Inheritance
"That's nothing."
Gu Sanqiu shrugged. "It's just that I found the mastermind behind it. He was a guy who could manipulate some of the evil god's power, and then he was killed by a big boss who was hiding."
Keqing was silent, then sighed.
"You always give me a surprise, or a shock."
"But I can tell you clearly that even if there are hidden masters in the General Affairs Department, they are not strong enough to fight against a guy with the power of the evil god, let alone be able to blow his head off with one move."
"Not from the General Affairs Department?"
Gu Sanqiu frowned: "Where else can we find a boss of this level?"
It definitely wouldn’t be the old man or some immortal. If it were them, there would be no need to hide it.
Hu Tao ran to Gu Sanqiu and rubbed his hair.
"Speaking of hidden masters, shouldn't you look for them among your own family?"
Keqing nodded in agreement.
If we were to say which family in Liyue Harbor is shrouded in the most mystery, the Gu family would definitely be at the forefront.
"What's there to look for? I'm the only one left in my family."
Gu Sanqiu grinned. He heard this news from Uncle Ruota.
The Gu family's branch and main branches paid a huge price for the matter of the Layered Rock Abyss, and then due to some inexplicable reasons, when it came to him, the family became a single-line inheritance.
Perhaps being strong can increase one's lifespan. From this point of view alone, God Gu may be the one who has lived the longest in the Gu family.
However, Gu Shen's era is at least two thousand years away from now. The wear and tear alone is enough to kill him a hundred times. It is completely unrealistic to expect an ancestor of this level to still be alive.
Hu Tao continued to play with Gu Sanqiu's hair: "So what do we say now? We are just going to wait for the staff over there to finish counting the supplies?"
Keqing shook her head: "That's not necessary, just leave this to us, you can leave long ago."
Hu Tao suddenly became energetic: "I'm hungry, Sanqiu!"
"Okay, let's go get a midnight snack first and then talk about other things."
Gu Sanqiu stood up and casually tidied his hair to make it a little tidier.
"We will bring you a midnight snack. I'll leave this to you. Remember to strictly examine those guys in Xumi. They regard knowledge as their lifeblood. I won't tolerate any laxity."
If no extraordinary measures are taken, these highly intelligent guys will definitely avoid the issue and will easily come up with tricks like sophistry and shifting the blame.
"Don't worry about this."
Keqing nodded: "This is Liyue, everything must be done according to our rules."
"Haha, what a strong Yuheng Star. We'll take our leave now."
Gu Sanqiu waved his hand and ran away at the speed of light with Hu Tao hanging on his back.
In Guiliyuan, a very secret place, a man in black appeared, coughed a few times, and then sat on a stone chair.
To be precise, he huddled up on a huge stone chair, holding his chest and coughing continuously.
"Why did you take action?"
The space trembled slightly, and a mental force came in front of the man in black, with a hint of doubt in his words.
"Hehe, there's nothing I can do. If it was just that kid who was in danger, I wouldn't care. But since that Xumi man said so, it would be strange if I could still hold it in."
The man in black coughed twice. "I've noticed that the guys in the Xumi School of Religion are not normal, but I didn't expect that it's not just the guys in the School of Religion who are abnormal."
"Since you dare to attack the people of Liyue, don't blame me for bullying the weak."
The mental force moved slightly: "Are you okay ?"
"It would be nice if everything is alright."
The man in black let out a long sigh and put his legs on the table in front of the stone chair.
"It's like this anyway. I can't die, and I can't live anymore. If I meet someone who's looking for death, I'm sure I'll vent my anger."
"Besides, isn't it the critical time for your layout recently, Emperor?"
"well--"
The mental power expanded and condensed into a clone.
Zhongli stood in mid-air, looking at the guy sitting motionless on the stone chair.
"You made this move this time just for my plan?"
"It's okay, that's just part of the reason. Another reason is that the idiot is just too arrogant. He committed such a heinous crime in Liyue's territory and dared to speak like that. I would feel uncomfortable if I didn't beat him to death."
Zhongli frowned: "Actually, you don't have to do this. Even if you don't take action, that kid and Xiao can handle it, not to mention that the medicine furnace is still nearby."
The man in black waved his hand and said, "When someone irritates you, asking someone to beat him up is different from beating him up yourself until he kneels down and begs for mercy and calls you ancestor. These are two completely different things, and the latter is definitely more comfortable."
Zhongli held his forehead with his hand: "Is this the reason why you ignored your own health and attacked forcefully?"
"Otherwise, Emperor, you should know that for the people in my family, it is better to die if they cannot make sense of their thoughts."
The man in black waved his hand and said, "Okay, you'd better not come to my place anymore in the future. Otherwise, some big shots might be unhappy. It's better to avoid such things as much as possible."
Zhongli asked, "A few days ago, the Abyss Cult caused the earth veins to erupt and came to the surface. The purpose seemed to be related to that kid. Do you know the reason?"
"Huh? Those rats made such a big fuss?"
The man in black was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "I don't know. Even if they came up, it has nothing to do with me. Would they come to my territory, where they are also a mole, to pay homage to me?"
"All right."
Zhongli’s spiritual power dissipated: “You, take care of yourself.”
The man in black laughed strangely: "Hehe, take care of yourself is something you should say to a living person. I am not a living person now, so you should take care of yourself, old man."
“Although I don’t know what strange meaning your layout has, I will definitely support you unconditionally, you weird old man who looks so righteous and majestic.”
The man in black coughed violently twice, forced himself to stand up, and performed a more ancient etiquette towards Zhongli's mental power.
"I absolutely support you because you are Morax, the weird old man."
"Because my last name is Gu."
His mental strength dissipated. In Liyue Harbor, Zhongli sat on a chair, his mind lost in memories.
That little madman has already taken action, so the remaining evil statues that still have some power and authority will definitely be fine. If I still waste a bit of my divine power to pay attention to this matter, it would be an insult to that little madman's "professional ability".
"For the sake of clarity of thought?"
Zhongli stood up and walked to the window, looking up in the direction of Guiliyuan.
"Oh, you little lunatic, are you trying to help me or are you willing to sacrifice your body just to make your thoughts clear? Isn't it true that a smart person can't weigh the pros and cons?"
Zhongli sighed softly: "You arrogant little brat, you actually dare to call me a weird old man, relying on the fact that I can't bear to deal with you now."
"The memories are flooding back. This is also part of the wear and tear. It is a truly unforgettable feeling."
"Brother Zhongli."
“Zhongli! Come quickly, let’s have supper with the great Lord of the Wangsheng Hall!”
After delivering midnight snacks to Keqing and a group of staff, the two ran back and, at Hu Tao's suggestion, went to the Rebirth Hall for a small gathering. After all, he and Gu Sanqiu had not seen each other for a while.
A girl with twin ponytails who kept waving at him, and Gu Sanqiu who was carrying a bunch of midnight snacks in both hands and the little girl on his back.
After seeing this scene, Zhongli was stunned for a moment, then a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then disappeared.
"It is an honor for you two to invite me."
