Chapter 16 Liyue Situation
"Relationships, relationships, or to use a more realistic term, camps."
Beidou's expression became serious for once: "If you were just a burner without the Eye of God before, then these things would basically have nothing to do with you, but it's different now."
"Not only will you be noticed by certain people, but the Seven Stars will also put you on a blacklist of people who may endanger public security. This is standard for owners of the Eye of God."
"You carry the Eye of God on your waist and walk around everywhere. I guess you want to make this public as soon as possible, but it's still not enough."
Beidou shook his head: "Someone will come to find you, there will be someone. If you are like me who wanders around on the sea all year round, it's not bad. Although life on the sea is indeed a bit difficult, it's still quiet."
"That's easy."
Hu Tao said with a smile: "Sanqiu can come to my Wangsheng Hall. I have invited this guy to be my guest official a long time ago."
"no."
"no."
Gu Sanqiu and Beidou said in unison, and then the big sister drank another glass.
"Wangsheng Hall and Gu Family, if you say that only the two of you have a good relationship, then no one will pay attention to you. But if you become one in terms of status, some idiots will definitely not be able to stand it."
Beidou's mouth curled up with a hint of sarcasm: "After all, those guys may not be good at other things, but they are definitely good at internal fighting and bullying."
"Hehe, but logically speaking, no one should dare to come to my Gu family to cause trouble, right? Do you think you are not dying fast enough?"
Gu Sanqiu sneered twice: "Incense worshiper, incense worshiper, you don't really think this is just a simple title, do you?"
"It's different, kid, it's really different now."
Beidou shook his head and said, "Sister, I have been to many places, but it seems that only Mondstadt and Liyue are special."
"Times have changed. The traces and prestige of things related to immortals and gods are gradually fading away."
Beidou pointed at Gu Sanqiu and said, "If this was the Liyue of the past, even if there were people with bad intentions who wanted to cause trouble, they wouldn't have the guts to come to the Gu family."
"He used to be the leader of the Xuan Sect, and now he is the incense burner who protects the incense of the immortals. This is a golden signboard, and it is also the confidence that no one dares to act recklessly."
"It's different now, Xiao Gu. Most of the people in the Xuanmen sect have secluded themselves from the world, and the gods are even more elusive. The books and even other things of the incense burners have become popular in their eyes."
"Even if the Immortal Invitation Ceremony is still being held, how can it help you?"
"Liyue seems to be at the cusp of another transformation."
Gu Sanqiu picked up a piece of pepper chicken and said, "Sister Beidou, do you mean that it might be the best idea for me to join the Seven Stars now?"
"No, no, no, I won't let you get involved with those guys from the Seven Stars."
Beidou showed a very unhappy expression: "Especially the Liyue Seven Stars led by that white-haired woman . They might be better at making trouble for you."
"Oh? Isn't that so? I always thought that you, Beidou sister, were one of the hidden seven stars."
"Huh? Have you ever seen any Seven Stars running around on the sea all year round? Those documents piled up on the desk are the standard equipment of Seven Stars."
Beidou laughed: "When I was fishing, they were dealing with documents. When I was killing sea monsters, they were still dealing with documents. When I was drinking with my subordinates, they were still working overtime. This is the difference between us."
"It's impossible for me to become a Seven Star. It's absolutely impossible!"
This was said with some finality, but Gu Sanqiu always felt that something was not right. Who stipulated that the Seven Stars could only be office animals in Liyue? This was too narrow-minded.
But, would Beidou be the kind of person who has no vision?
Besides, who says that the leaders of a country can only be social animals? In the feudal era, there were civil and military officials. Beidou's explanation was not convincing to Gu Sanqiu.
At midnight, after watching Beidou and the crew members who came to lead the people away, Hu Tao and Gu Sanqiu slowly walked towards Feiyunpo.
"Sanqiu, what Sister Beidou said, is there any trouble in your family?"
"Strictly speaking, it's not a problem. It's just that someone has set their eyes on my family's savings."
Gu Sanqiu shrugged: "There's nothing I can do. If I didn't have the Eye of God, those people wouldn't dare to attack my family under the pressure of the Seven Stars."
"But I have activated the Eye of God now, which means that I have become an adult in a broad sense in terms of age and strength. The protection of the Seven Stars, which is like some unspoken rules, is of no use to me."
“It’s so troublesome.”
Hu Tao twirled her hair with her right index finger. "Eh? How about this? Zhongli might be an immortal. Do you want me to find him and think of a solution?"
"By all means, don't."
Gu Sanqiu refused without a second thought. If it was another immortal, it would be okay with the Gu family's favor, but Zhongli...
What the Rock King wants is a burner who can keep the incense in the world, not a waste who will shake it off when encountering a little problem.
Apart from not having a single piece of Mora on him, Zhongli is usually very easy to deal with. However, when it comes to matters of principle, Geo King is as decisive as any other god.
"Hehe, it's really difficult to deal with living people."
Gu Sanqiu glanced at Hu Tao who seemed to be thinking about something: "Don't tell me you want to turn them all into dead people. I can handle this matter."
"The food I gave you not long ago is a precious item. When you go back, remember to think about its usefulness. This is what you should focus on during this period of time. Do you understand?"
"Sister Gu is so long-winded."
Hu Tao put her left hand on her waist and patted Gu Sanqiu's shoulder vigorously with her right hand, pretending to be bold.
"Well, since the problem has already occurred to you, go and solve it. I will always be the strongest shield behind you, remember~"
(丿′▽｀)丿
"Okay, okay, if I have any problem, I will definitely come to you first for help."
Gu Sanqiu gave a thumbs up. This was no joke. If he really encountered something that even a time traveler with a golden finger like him could not solve, he would definitely hug Hu Tao and Zhongli's thighs first.
After returning home, Gu Sanqiu opened the door of the incense-burning room, burned incense and recited words according to Gu's family custom, and then sat on the ground with his back against the cauldron.
"My dear bosses, famous immortals, I originally thought that the gears of the world would start turning when those two guys showed up in Mondstadt."
"This is actually a miscalculation on my part. Liyue's reforms have already begun to take shape. No matter what the Seven Stars think, when the message reaches the lower levels, there will inevitably be distortion and misinterpretation of the policy."
"Those who have eaten Tiger Rock, Feiyun Slope, and even those who have connections with Liyue's top brass, these guys are probably eager to reshuffle the cards. Everyone thinks they can bite off a bigger piece of the pie."
"Tsk, how did I manage to be the only one left in the Gu family? I don't have any brothers or sisters. By the way, doesn't Mr. Zhong have the ability to bless people with many children and good fortunes..."
Gu Sanqiu touched his chin and said, "Well, this is debatable."
However, if I want to get myself out of this chaotic situation and put one foot on the shore...
There is a way.
