Chapter 1088: What Gu Shaochong Hidden
After hearing the last sentence, Sora perked up and looked closely at all the drinkers.
Even though Angel's Gift has stricter management than its peers, the unique liveliness of a tavern is absolutely indispensable.
The laughter and boasting of the drinkers, the bards playing the piano and reciting poems, and some people who lost in games with friends and "performed their talents" with red faces are actually accelerating their social demise.
This is a portrayal of the nightlife of Mond Tavern, and it is also the most relaxing time for people to take a break after a busy day.
In this respect, they are far superior to others.
After all, they still have time to come out and have a drink with friends, and the highest configuration for both entertainment and recreation is already in place.
But to be honest, even with Kong's current strength, he used his mental power to scan the surroundings, almost like counting the hairs on the drinker's face, but he couldn't see anything wrong.
How should I put it? Everyone looked like an ordinary customer, and there were no shady people bringing goods to do secret transactions during the bustle of the place.
However, I don't think people who want to do that kind of deal would come to Master Diluk's territory.
Therefore, the idea that Albedo mentioned should only apply to one person, not a specific group.
Ding Dong——
The door opened and a loud voice sounded.
"Hey guys, I believe we can have another wonderful night together tonight."
The voice of the person coming was so loud that it drowned out all the laughter, but when they saw the man clearly, even louder noise broke out in an instant.
"Master Barbatos, look who's here, our new number one drunkard!"
"Charles, serve the wine, serve the drunkard a glass of fire water, and don't mix it with any low-alcohol fruit wine to spoil the mood, thank you."
The drunkard laughed heartily, and drank the kerosene clean in one gulp amid the jeers of the crowd.
"Come on, guys, let's start tonight's party and let all the companions here feel the happy time that belongs to Mondstadt."
The drunkard raised his glass, which contained another large glass of fire water.
"Cheers to the wind god, to freedom, and to everyone present here."
The drinkers laughed and raised their glasses as well.
"Let the wind guide you!"
The liveliness in the pub reached a new level. Some people who met the drunkards for the first time felt a little uncomfortable at first, but then joined in this small-scale pub carnival.
Even Charles had a rather obvious smile on his face.
How could he still have a straight face and joke at a time like this?
The presence of such an uninvited atmosphere group is of great help in improving performance.
Albedo explained in a low voice to Sora and Paimon.
"George Taylor, a mysterious man who suddenly appeared in Mondstadt two days ago, claimed to have traveled all the way from Fontaine. He has an extremely high alcohol tolerance and can be regarded as the uncrowned king among alcoholics."
"I don't think I need to say much about his personality. He is very popular among the drinkers."
The corner of Sora's mouth twitched and he exchanged glances with Paimon.
"Ah, we know this person. To be more precise, he is also related to what happened in Liyue. To be more precise, he is a person who is directly related."
Damn George Taylor, even if the other party had disguised himself to a certain extent, how could Kong not feel the other party's true breath.
The destiny star corresponds to each unique person. At their level, it is basically impossible to deceive others unless there is a higher power affecting them.
This drunkard is Gu Shaochong!
Albedo nodded. "Is that so? The first thing this person did when he arrived in Mondstadt was to go to West Wind Church."
"Ke Li looked at him from a distance, and then told me and Yu Jian that the aura of that person seemed to be somewhat similar to San Qiu."
"I have been keeping an eye on him since then, but he only went out in the morning and drank at Angel's Gift at night, so I didn't take any further action ."
Mr. Drunkard suddenly felt a chill in his body, then he turned around and saw a blond man staring at him.
Gu Shaochong:?!
He hurriedly found an excuse to come over, then asked Kong in a low voice.
"Aren't you in Xumi? Why did you come to Mondstadt at this time?!"
Kong was stunned: "Sanqiu said I was going to Xumi... No, Mr. Zhongli told you?"
Gu Shaochong was stunned, he really didn't expect to meet Kong in such a place and at such a time!
Should he explain why he was here right away?
"With this surname, are you a relative of Sanqiu?"
Gu Shaochong looked at Albedo.
Oh my god, could this be another old acquaintance of the patriarch?
As an antique that is hundreds of years old, Gu Shaochong truly felt the horror of the "Traveler from Another World".
He had already chosen to go in the opposite direction of the others, but they still bumped into each other.
How to say it, the development of things has gone in a direction that he didn't want.
"Well, senior, won't you explain it to us?"
Kong knocked on the table subconsciously: "Why did you choose to hide the fact that you recovered from Sanqiu? Is there anything between you two that cannot be told?"
Gu Shaochong had a complicated expression: "Well, my combat power hasn't recovered much, and the reasons are also very complicated."
"Let me explain this question. After all, I am his guardian now."
"Hey~"
Wendy appeared out of nowhere, her face flushed and holding a large glass of wine. Some white foam could be vaguely seen at the corners of her mouth that had not been wiped clean.
Kong held his forehead with his hand: "You, have you had a few drinks?"
Wendy waved her hand and said, "Don't worry. Morax will pay for all expenses during the period of custody. This is a rare opportunity to make an old friend bleed a lot of money."
"Don't think too much, Xiao Kongkong. Hiding this matter is actually for the good of my nephew."
"Haven't you noticed that he's been acting abnormal lately?"
null:……
Wait, if that's really the case, it seems to make sense.
Go shopping with Hu Tao, go fishing with Uncle Tian and play mahjong, and even accept a pink outfit.
This normal life pattern that occurs in normal people is indeed not normal if it occurs in Sanqiu.
And there are those two gifts that are clearly beyond the scope.
Gu Shaochong was helpless: "The head of the family has relaxed because of my return. He is no longer alone and does not have to bear so many things."
"The owner of the house is learning how to live like a normal person, go shopping with friends, and enjoy his favorite entertainment."
Kong was puzzled: "Isn't this a good thing? I believe you don't want to see Sanqiu who doesn't even know what life is."
"That's a good thing, at least for now."
Gu Shaochong shook his head: "But after this, if he knew that I had recovered and that the family inheritance would not be cut off because of his accident, what would he do?"
"Can you guarantee that he won't become even crazier than he is now, and do something that even the Emperor can't defend?"
"With low strength and no idea whether the Emperor would take action, he had the guts to challenge the demon-possessed Inazuma."
Gu Shaochong said seriously: "If he no longer has the worry of the Fengxiang lineage being cut off, what will he do?"
“If the master of the family finds a method that is expected to solve the problem , but it may involve great risks, he might not choose to take the risk in the past, but what about now?”
"He is in Liyue, and you are going to Xumi. The acquaintances of the Patriarch in Mondstadt will not do anything without knowing the development of the situation."
"With Lord Barbatos here, even if there are any changes in Liyue, I can rush back as fast as possible."
"I didn't tell the master because now is really not a suitable time."
Gu Shaochong shook his head: "Relaxation and tension are the right way of heaven and earth, but if the over-tightened nerve relaxes for a moment, or even breaks, the rebound force will be so great that it is unimaginable."
"At least for now, we can't let the Patriarch know that most of his concerns have disappeared."
“There has to be a gradual process.”
