Chapter 22 News from the Adventurer's Association
"Sniff, sniff—"
In the morning, Gu Sanqiu glanced at Hu Tao, whose little nose was twitching slightly.
"What are you doing?"
"Hey, Sanqiu, tell me the truth. What bad things did you do yesterday?"
Kurumi's face showed an expression of a detective: "It smells like a woman."
"...You know what happened at my house yesterday. Do you think I have the time and energy to do this?"
Gu Sanqiu remained calm and said, "You're joking. If Mona was financially well off enough to afford perfume, her name would be written backwards!"
As for body odor, strictly speaking, it is just the smell of sweat.

"Who knows? With such a big fuss yesterday, who knows if you did anything weird to relax."
"Please ask this hall master to delete the plot you read in the novel. Why do you think every man is a reincarnation of Teddy Bear in your eyes?"
Gu Sanqiu tapped Hu Tao's forehead and said, "Let's not talk too much. Did you feel anything special after you went back yesterday? For example, did you feel a little more relaxed?"
"Humph, no, I had a toothache yesterday, it's all because of you making me eat something weird."

"Patients like you would probably be quite troubling for doctors. After all, no one wants to treat a person who is insincere."
Gu Sanqiu complained steadily: "Isn't it a good thing to be honest?"
"no."

"Mr. Gu, so you are here."
A man wearing dark green clothes ran over, stopped in front of Gu Sanqiu, held his knees with his hands, and took a few breaths.
"Hey, you're from the Adventurer's Guild? What do you want from me?"
Gu Sanqiu raised his eyebrows: "Could it be that the matter I asked you to do a long, long time ago has been resolved?"
"Yes, it is."
The young man took out a scroll and handed it to Gu Sanqiu: "We have completed your commission. Mr. Gu, please transfer the balance to our Adventurer Association's account on time."
"Take this note to the Liyue Bank. It has my personal seal on it. They will know what to do."
Gu Sanqiu smiled and said, "Also, please don't even think about doing any forgery or anything like that. The mark on it is time-limited."
"Okay, I'll go now."
Hu Tao put her hands on her forehead and watched the Adventurer's Association's busy social animals running towards the Liyue Bank, then looked at her friends curiously.
“Sanqiu, when did you entrust the Adventurer’s Association? Why don’t I know about it?”
" You definitely don't know, because even I almost forgot about it."
Because this commission was made by the previous Gu Sanqiu, strictly speaking, it is basically an old commission, the kind that will be successful once reported.
"You almost forgot about it yourself, so why are they rushing to look for you now?"
"Guess how many people I killed yesterday?"
Gu Sanqiu chuckled: "Do you know why this commission took so long?"
"If I remember correctly, I posted a commission of the highest level at that time, and I wanted it to be handled as quickly as possible by the experts of the Adventurer's Guild."
"But by that time, I guess someone had already started to target me. To put it bluntly, someone went to the Adventurer's Guild to do some dirty deals and deliberately delayed my time."
"Do you have anything that they can miss?"
Gu Sanqiu glanced at Hu Tao with disdain: "Use your brain. A worshiper has placed a commission of the highest level. How tempting are the things inside? Don't they want to know what's inside?"
"Secrets, or secrets they can get involved in, are what's most attractive to them."
"So, my commission may have been completed long ago, but the top leaders of the Adventurer's Association and some guys in Liyue colluded and searched for the information I provided first."
"It was because I didn't respond last time that they were so unscrupulous in testing my bottom line. If the way those guys died this time wasn't unusual, I probably wouldn't have gotten this thing."
"Sanqiu, aren't you afraid that they will cheat you with fake things?"
"I was the one who provided the initial information. Those were just small actions in secret. If they still want to cheat people after I have the information, the top leaders of the Adventurer's Association really don't want to do this anymore."
The two of them went to Wanmin Hall to buy some breakfast, and Gu Sanqiu brought Hu Tao into the Gu family compound with a cautious look on his face.
"Wow, the smell of blood, and the disappearing souls, it seems like you really have a lot of secrets."
"You speak as if you haven't hidden anything from me."
"I have to go out for a while. Please keep an eye on the house for me. You don't have to worry about it at night. Send a few people to help me keep an eye on it. I'm still worried that someone would rather take money than life."
"It's just this matter. It's easy. Leave it to me."
"There is one more thing."
Gu Sanqiu patted the dragon blue brick beside him and said, "I got a good thing recently. I wanted to keep it for myself."
"Didn't you say that the guest official Zhongli in your Wangsheng Hall is well-versed in history and modern knowledge? I'd like to trouble you to give this thing to him for identification."
"Zhongli is very busy these days, so he may not have the time to help you with this little thing."
Hu Tao showed a smug smile and said, "Why not, you beg me nicely, maybe I will be merciful and say a few good words to help you get some leniency?"
"I'll give you the money. Three hundred thousand Mora."
Gu Sanqiu used the skill [Money Offensive]
"make a deal!"
ヽ(￣ω￣(￣ω￣〃)ゝ
Hu Tao put her arm around Gu Sanqiu's shoulders and took the banknote from his hand.
"Why should our relationship be so vulgar? As long as you are willing to speak up, Sanqiu, I will definitely be willing to help you, hehe."
"It's going to cost more, right?"
Gu Sanqiu smiled and said, "Then I'll leave this matter to you. I trust you to do the job."
"Yes, go ahead and don't worry. I will take care of your home. You must believe in the value of the Master of the Wangsheng Hall, my friend."

"It's really hard for people to have enough trust in you when you're like this..."
"That guy is out?"
At Yujingtai , a young girl who was reviewing official documents took a sip of the strong tea from the side after listening to the report from her subordinates.
After feeling the bitterness of the tea stirring in her stomach and brain, the girl suddenly felt a lot more sober.
"From what happened yesterday, it seems that our incense burner is not a stupid guy. So what is the reason for him to run away alone?"
"Those people may seem to have returned your things to you, but you should know clearly what their intentions are."
“Is it really possible to ask businessmen to give up the profits that are about to come, and the profits that are far beyond their expectations?”
"If we go out now, it will undoubtedly give those guys the opportunity to attack us directly."
The girl combed her hair and said, "But you also have the Eye of God. Considering the ability of the heir of the Gu family, those guys should not be your opponents."
"Stand back. Keep a close eye on those guys in Liyue Harbor. Make a list of those who have any connections with the Northland Bank."
The girl's eyes lit up with purple lightning: "Liyue Harbor is a place with rules. Since some people don't understand the rules now, let's find an opportunity to teach them!"
"Yes, Lady Keqing."
