Chapter 1019: Peaceful Liyue Harbor
Liyue is calm today. To be more precise, it has been too calm these past few days.
Ever since Yaoyao's birthday, Xingqiu, who had been stationed at the Ten Gold Club to handle affairs, felt that it was a little too quiet.
How should I put it? If there isn't a psychopath in the office who appears and disappears all the time and comments on my handwriting, I always feel like something is missing.
It's not that I'm being servile, I just feel a little lost.
The main reason is that that bastard disappeared from everyone's lives too quickly.
And there were no signs at all.
"So, that guy really turned into a stone?"
Xingqiu swung the pen in his hand casually, and it hung on the pen holder very accurately without even a trace of shaking, which showed his control over strength.
"Yes, the news came from Master Hu of the Wangsheng Hall."
A staff member said: "The chief shopkeeper has indeed turned into a stone statue. This is what Hall Master Hu saw when he jumped onto the courtyard wall."
"As for the others, even if they knock on the door of the head shopkeeper's house, they can't take a step inside. Even Hall Master Hu can't get in."
Xingqiu rubbed his brows and said, "Ah, I see. We can just send a few smart ones to guard his door. If there is any important information, he will definitely wake up."
At night, things return to silence, the incense-burning door opens, gods and ghosts become guests, and mortals retreat.
Could it be that Sanqiu was going to put something like that from the legend out in the open?
"I don't understand what this guy is thinking. I hope he doesn't really turn into a stone forever."
Xingqiu's thinking gradually became distorted.
If Sanqiu really turns into stone after this, does he need to adopt a child to inherit the mission of the incense burner?
Well, although at this age, thinking about your brothers not having children does sound a bit like a curse.
But at least from the current situation, it would be strange for a stone to marry and have children.
“That’s outrageous.”
Xingqiu took out the information about the Ten Gold Association in Xumi.
Thanks to the help of a "mysterious person", the tentacles of the Ten Gold Society have now reached all over Xumi.
Although Xingqiu and the others knew that the mysterious person was a girl who had come from far away to recognize her as a relative, they tacitly kept the matter secret.
This is a real secret ally, but I wonder what’s going on in the other party’s brain.
Not long after that, he not only expanded his business circle to all parts of Xumi, but also built the Casazale Palace under the name of "Master Sangge Mahabayi".
It was a huge holiday villa, or rather a huge manor that showed off one's personal wealth, a country within a country.
Although it has not been fully completed yet, a group of Dolly's direct relatives have already moved in.
There, Master Sangge Mahabayi is the god, and even the people in the Church of the Imam have no power to speak to him.
To find out the reason, Xingqiu's face looked a little strange when he saw the information.
It seems that the "rising star" of a certain school in the Ordinary Court was cheated by Dolly. Not only did he work for nothing, but he even owed a large sum of money.
The specific content is not important, the key is the result. It is impossible that the rising star of the Ministry of Education has a bad brain.
Even Keqing was surprised after seeing this information, and felt sorry for not being able to retain such a talent at that time.
If Dolly joins Liyue, apart from anything else, the work pressure on Ganyu's side will definitely be much easier.
Xingqiu has a different opinion on Dolly's words "I am the most loyal believer of Lord Morax".
Judging from his ability to make money and his obsession with money, this person is definitely a fanatical fan of the Emperor.
But the problem lies in the means.
Dolly's methods were not grand at all. The problem was evident .
This kind of operation, which has no conscience or bottom line and is even reasonable and legal at the formal level, is too much of a déjà vu for Xingqiu.
This person might be related to my psychopathic brother.
On the surface, he is the most loyal believer of the Emperor, but secretly, he might be as evil-hearted as Sanqiu.
Anyway, the two are not in conflict. After all, a certain executive of the Kingdom of Winter who has a "deep affection" for the Emperor is always thinking about ways to undermine the status of Liyue Port as a commercial capital.
How should I put it? Xingqiu felt that the worst decision he had ever made in his life was probably believing Gu Sanqiu's lies and taking charge of the Ten Gold Society.
Chongyun, Minglei and Wanye have all been put into a brand new department under its jurisdiction, which is dedicated to leading the practitioners who have come down the mountain and some adventurers with clean backgrounds to kill monsters all over the map.
The full name of the department is "Demon Extermination and Evil Suppression Special Service Department". Anyway, this kind of abstract name must have been thought up by Gu Sanqiu himself.
Originally, this department was going to be called the "Evil Prevention Department", but considering that the name had some overlap with the work department at Qixing, it was changed to another one.
As we all know, as long as the name of the department is long enough, the probability of overlap will decrease infinitely.
And he, Xingqiu, is called a collaborator, but in fact he is the real ruler of the growing power of the Ten Gold Society.
The original real partner YaYa, or to be more precise, the Fatui behind YaYa, has been kicked out. Sir will only remember that he has such an identity when it comes to dividends.
As the founder, Gu Sanqiu has become more like a guard hired by Xingqiu at a high salary.
With the martial arts tournament to be held after the completion of "Mora Paradise" as an inducement, Maolu Xingqiu could only say that he was not too resistant to the stewardship.
God knows when this martial arts conference can be held if it is left to Sanqiu.
The Ten Gold Club has very little business, but it is basically very profitable. Just a visit from Chongyun and his friends can bring in a lot of profits.
According to Sanqiu's concept, Chongyun and the others belong to the concept of "chosen ones". There are countless operations such as jumping off a cliff to get treasures and picking up money when going out.
Even though it sounds ridiculous.
On the other side, Zhongli, who was strolling to Guiliyuan, was silent for a while.
At this time, he should have been listening to a play at the Yunhan Society.
However, since Yun Jin made certain changes to her own plans, she now performs on stage less frequently.
Even Yunhanshe no longer makes money by scheduling shifts as intensively as before. The previous practice was simply to squeeze the competition to death.
There's nothing I can do. With a big money sponsor behind me, I can be so willful. It's because Gu Sanqiu gave me too much.
Mr. Yun, a well-known opera master in Liyue, has now become the jewel in the crown of a group of old men and women in the secret library.
To use a clichéd metaphor, the people in the secret library really treat Yun Jin like they are holding her in their hands for fear of dropping her, and holding her in their mouths for fear of her melting.
Well, after Yun Jin returned home, took out all the classics and secluded himself for a while, the master craftsman bloodline inherited from his ancestors began to awaken.
This is of course an exaggeration. The main reason is that the last incident had a great impact on Yun Jin, so he naturally worked very hard after returning.
Yun Jin has been practicing music and physical training since he was young, and his mental toughness is unmatched by ordinary people.
In addition, every owner of the Eye of God has the potential to be a hard worker, so the research path suddenly became unstoppable.
Although he is not as good as the monsters in human skin represented by Gu Sanqiu , he is definitely not someone that others can easily cheat.
Not only is he talented, he also works ten or a hundred times harder than most people. Combined with the advanced technologies that the secret library has developed to date, Yun Jin already has the demeanor of his ancestors.
The key point is that it can still be livered.
