Chapter 18: Testing
As the sun set, Amir sent Gu Sanqiu out of the Northland Bank with a smile on his face.
The bank staff's expression of seeing off the sucker made the various spies who had been waiting here for nearly a day feel cold.
Regardless of what these two guys did, just looking at the attentive look on the face of the man from Zhidong Country, one can imagine how much of an impact this will have on the purpose of their trip!
"hey-hey."
Gu Sanqiu's eyes turned, he waved to those familiar faces, and left the Northland Bank from another direction.
In Wanmin Hall, Master Mao folded his hands as he looked at Gu Sanqiu who was eating and drinking heartily. He put the towel aside and sat opposite him.
"Why, did you finally go to work today? You're coming to eat so late."
"Hehe, that's about right. Chef Mao is worthy of being the best chef at Huyan. This boiled black-back sea bass is really good."
"Hehe, that's right. Xinyuexuan learned the seasoning of this dish from me."
Master Mao laughed : "Alas, if I hadn't been so reluctant, I would have opened a high-end restaurant in Feiyunpo."
"Eating is supposed to bring happiness and peace to people. A restaurant that caters to the general public is the path I insist on."
"It's so simple. When Xiangling comes back, I'll invest some money and Master Mao, you can also take out some of your savings. How about we monopolize the catering industry in Liyue Port?"
Gu Sanqiu showed a strange smile on his face: "By then, the popular restaurant will be Wanmintang, and the high-end restaurant will be handed over to Xiangling. This is a great business opportunity."
"Hey, you know what kind of personality that girl has. She's not the kind of person who would be content to stay in one place and be a chef."
Master Mao served Gu Sanqiu a basket of crystal shrimps: "Young people should go out more often, don't stay in one place all day, that's not good."
"Master Mao, please stop hinting at me."
Gu Sanqiu shrugged: "In addition, there is another reason for coming to eat today. The guy who ate at Huyan seems to be a little uneasy recently. You have to pay more attention."
"oh?"
Master Mao frowned: "What you mean is that someone is targeting you?"
"It's not like they were staring at me. Maybe they just couldn't take their eyes off the Gu family."
Gu Sanqiu picked up the tea beside him and took a sip: "Although they are not good people, they are still maintaining the underlying order."
"If there is a personnel transfer, some city foxes and community rats might escape from Chihuyan."
"Hey, I thought it was a big deal, but it turns out it's just a bunch of small fry."
Master Mao swung a large kitchen knife and said, "I know what you are worried about. With me here, you can just focus on handling your own affairs."
"Hey, thank you very much, Master Mao."
Gu Sanqiu put down a bag of Mora and gently moved his wrist. The faint cry of an eagle in his ears made him more confident.
The moon was bright and the sky was cloudless. The light of the stars and the moon poured into the deep courtyard of the Gu family, reflecting the wisps of incense smoke in the incense room.
The giant shadow eagle stood on the eaves and combed its feathers. Under the cover of this action, its eyes were vigilantly observing the surroundings, guarding against possible threats for Gu Sanqiu.
"The duties of an incense burner sound a bit strange in this era, just like someone finding out you've never been in a relationship after graduating from college. I was madly annoyed for a while at that time."
"Times are changing, so why is it that in the directions I know of, there are no incense burners, only the Hall of Rebirth?"
Gu Sanqiu closed the door of the incense room and gently wiped the golden fishing rod in his hand with a piece of silk.
"Since I have already promised that young man, no matter what difficulties there are, I will definitely protect the Gu family for him."
"After all, this is a man's promise."
Cry!
A light flashed in Gu Sanqiu's eyes, and he swung the fishing rod in his hand in the direction of the giant shadow eagle's warning. It seemed as if the fishing line could extend to an endless length, cutting through the air and sweeping towards the completely dark space.
Just when the fishing hook and fishing line were about to reach the open space, a guy in leather armor suddenly appeared in the empty place and was busy using the two daggers in his hands to knock away Gu Sanqiu's attempt.
"late."
Gu Sanqiu smiled coldly, and shook his right hand lightly. The fishing line and the fishhook suddenly switched positions, and the sharp part of the fishhook made a turn and scraped the opponent's neck!
laugh--
Blood spurted out like a fountain. Gu Sanqiu retracted his fishing rod and glanced at his weapon helplessly.
"Tsk, if this continues I'm probably going to turn into a throat-slitting maniac. Can you give me a suitable weapon?"
"But it seems to be quite intimidating if you do this."
Gu Sanqiu looked thoughtfully at the rockery and big trees behind him.
"I say, is this your first time to come to Liyue Harbor to do business? You don't even know the taboos of Liyue Harbor, do you? "
"First, don't cause trouble on Yujing Terrace."
"Second, don't mess with the elderly and children walking on the street, because they may be immortals."
"Third, never challenge certain beings and things that have existed since ancient times. You don't have to worship or believe in them, but you must at least show basic respect."
All the people in the shadows came out. A man with a piece of iron armor embedded in his chest was staring at Gu Sanqiu vigilantly and answering his questions.
"Fourth, never step into the door of a Fengxiang clan at night!"
"So what , or are you all time travelers, playing with American time?"
No one knew what Gu Sanqiu was talking about, but that didn't stop them from guessing what he meant.
Are you guys beeping and want to die?
"Gu Xiangjun, we are just trying to support our family. Can you let us go back?"
Suddenly, he jumped up!
Just as the guy with the iron armor on his chest was speaking, the others rushed towards Gu Sanqiu at the same time!
They all saw clearly how that guy died just now, so they didn't believe that this person would let them go!
"It is rumored that this generation of incense worshippers is a sickly person with no fighting ability. I think you leaked this news yourself!"
"What does it have to do with you?"
Gu Sanqiu turned his head and glanced at the other person indifferently, then stretched out his right palm and slapped one person away cleanly and efficiently. He swung the fishing rod with his left hand, and the sharp fishhook once again cut the throat of the person next to him.
Cry——
The giant shadow eagle let out a cry, and black cyclones emerged from the ground and merged into its body.
The wings flapped, and black rays of light like swords swept towards the remaining people!
The sound alarmed the Qianyan soldiers on duty at Feiyunpo, and even startled the masters and ladies who were sleeping soundly.
When their guards hurriedly wanted to take their hunting dogs to guard against invaders, they were surprised to find that the previously strong hunting dogs, and even the dog king in the family, were now huddled together like ants facing the collapse of the sky, and kept whimpering.
In the Gu family compound, Gu Sanqiu smiled very gently, just like an older brother who made his childhood playmates feel at ease.
"Don't worry, everyone. None of you can escape today."
