Chapter 231 Keqing's Philosophy
"Sword Sutra? Can such a young child learn it?"
Keqing expressed doubts: "Letting children who are too young be exposed to those fixed-position moves at an early age will be very detrimental to their future growth."
"If we want to provide universal education, it's really difficult given the restrictions on drugs, teachers and so on."
"Then I would like to ask what you did with the assets of the Sanxuan Society. Logically speaking, the problem can be solved as long as a little bit of it is revealed."
"Not to mention the entire Liyue, at least there will be no problem in piloting it in Liyue Harbor, not to mention we can also find some chambers of commerce to sponsor us."
"sponsor?"
"Oh, it's similar to the Emperor's Dance. Write something like 'provided by a certain Chamber of Commerce' on the children's practice clothes and weapons."
"Children are pure, they will remember all the kindness that everyone has shown them, even if these kindnesses are ulterior motives in the eyes of adults, but children will remember and be grateful."
"You're making me feel guilty."
Keqing said helplessly: "Also, how come you still remember the money from the Sanxuan Society? Is it necessary to be so obsessed with it?"
"Well, if I had that much money, believe it or not, I would have installed a few large screens on the border just like last time, so that our good neighbors can see the fighting power of the Great Sage who subdues demons."
"Let's get this over with first, and let's move on to the sword scripture."
Keqing said: "As I said before, it's not good to let children get in touch with this kind of thing too early."
"You can consider things, but you think I can't?"
Gu Sanqiu glanced at Keqing and said, "The content is all about walking and sitting postures, and some details are gradually introduced. It won't let the children dance with metal swords right away."
"It's a good thing to practice from a young age. Exercise more to strengthen your body and spirit. I don't want to see a future Liyue where a bunch of twenty-year-old kids are cunning and slick and only see Mora and power. If that's the case, I really want to go back to Minlin and stay there."
Veins popped up on Keqing's forehead. "What do you mean by 'I can take all of this into account'? I need a reasonable explanation!"
If your explanation doesn't make sense, don't blame me for killing you!
"Literally, you are definitely better at political struggles and doing business, but I am good at teaching people. Don't question my expertise with an outsider's perspective."
Keqing picked up the sword scripture on the stone table and took a closer look: "It really does look like that, but is it necessary to write it so thick?"
"It is necessary. This is to compile teaching materials, not some martial arts secret manual to be kept in the sect. It is good for the children to write it clearly. You know what I mean? This is a necessary procedure."
"Preparing enough in advance will be very helpful for your clear planning in the future, believe me."
Gu Sanqiu wiped his hands and said, "Why are you here? Don't tell me you want to come here to avenge the feeding a few days ago. If you want revenge, you should go find Xingqiu and Xiangling."
"Haha, the correct solution for this kind of thing is to find the culprit."
Keqing kicked Gu Sanqiu on the calf: "You started compiling a sword manual for no apparent reason. You must be preparing for that event."
"What's going on? I don't know."
"Still pretending."
Keqing rolled her eyes at Gu Sanqiu and said, "That red figure, you should know that I came here for this matter."
"Oh, so you're here to discuss business."
Gu Sanqiu instantly perked up. He put away the paper and pen on the stone table, then took out a cup and poured two glasses of juice .
"So, Miss Keqing, what price does Lord Yuhengxing intend to offer?"
"You do know something, don't you?"
"Of course, I know a lot, such as the name of that power, its source, its form of use, how to strengthen it, etc. I know all of that."
Gu Sanqiu tilted his head: "But I don't want to tell you for free, name a price."
"A gentle reminder, your first offer determines my judgment of your sincerity. If I am not satisfied, I may have to send you away directly."
"Is this gift enough to help you deal with a family that has feelings towards you?"
Keqing threw the document out.
"Hehe, that's quite interesting. So this is the reason you want our two families to cooperate? To cooperate in handing over all our property and secrets."
Gu Sanqiu threw the document aside.
"Strictly speaking it won't be all of them, because they will choose to gradually nibble away at them."
"I don't care what steps they choose, they can't succeed anyway."
"By the way, you are so quick to give me the information. Aren't you afraid that the whole family will suddenly die inexplicably tomorrow?"
Keqing's expression froze. She had forgotten what this guy's normal state was like. This guy was a huge psychopath!
What happens when a psychopath with severe violent tendencies clearly realizes that someone wants to harm him and already knows the detailed list of names?
"Don't mess around. Liyue is now a society ruled by law."
"Don't worry, I won't do anything rash. They will be attacked by a small-scale, targeted epidemic. It will take about half a month for them to die miserably. Their bodies will rot and their souls will disappear. I guarantee that they won't be blamed on me."
"You're saying it in front of me now, and you're still swearing that you can't find out?!"
Keqing was shocked by Gu Sanqiu's shamelessness: "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"It's clear and obvious."
Gu Sanqiu crossed his legs and said, "But would you protect that kind of person? That kind of idiot in the relevant department is probably full of thoughts about forming cliques, deceiving superiors and subordinates, embezzlement and bribery, etc. What extra value is there in protecting such a person?"
"You're right. That kind of person really has no value at all. He may not even be as valuable as your little finger."
"Don't bully my little finger. That guy is not even as good as my cut nails."
…
Keqing took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to attack Gu Sanqiu.
"But Liyue is now a society ruled by law. Even if it is you, I will not allow you to set a precedent by relying on personal force to undermine the rule of law."
"Those who have ideas about your family and the Walnut family must be punished. Those who deserve the death penalty should be executed, and those who deserve to be locked up should be locked up, but they must not be killed by you alone."
"Although it sounds ridiculous, I will protect them and make them accept legal sanctions. From my point of view, this is not a private matter between you and those people, but a public matter. Telling you this is already an abuse of power for personal gain."
"Now is the era of the rule of law. This is within the scope of what the law can manage, and it must be punished by justice and the people."
Keqing calmed down: "What happens in the martial arts world is left to the martial arts world; what happens in the court is left to the court. The rules will not change, only the hearts of people in different situations will change."
"Very good, very good. This speech almost moved me to tears."
Gu Sanqiu clapped his hands and said, "Yes, I will accept this gift. From now on, you can negotiate the price with me."
