Chapter 3: A touch of red in the eyes
The work that Gu Sanqiu mentioned certainly could not be working in an office, but rather climbing over the stone railing and returning home again.
"Tsk, forging iron means I have to go out. It's not as comfortable as staying in Liyue Harbor."
Gu Sanqiu took off his long robe, tied his hair up and changed into a short shirt. He pressed a few hidden buttons on the wall and walked into the basement.
It is not quite the same as in the game. The Liyue Harbor in the game seems to be sanctioned by the scale of the map. The real Liyue Harbor is quite vast, not much smaller than an ordinary port city.
Of course, this also means that the Gu family, who owns a large courtyard with its own independent house, has more room to play with the underground area.
Ding, ding, ding——
The rhythmic sound of metal clashing rang out in front of Gu Sanqiu. This seemingly nonchalant incense burner was hammering the iron ingot in front of him with a serious face.
He didn't even try to dodge the flying sparks, and the raised lines on his back and hands showed that he was not a weak scholar who couldn't even tie a chicken, but that he really had some skills.
"This hundred-forged iron really has some meaning."
Looking at the blue-purple mist rising from the iron ingot, Gu Sanqiu frowned tightly.
"I originally thought it was just a product of heaven and earth, and was given a strange name by a bunch of guys who had not received quality education. I didn't expect there was something real in it."
"So, in that damn North Sea, there really is some kind of established country, and it's ruled by monsters?"
Even if it was an ordinary fire, everything inside the iron ingot would have been burned, not to mention the furnace and charcoal fire that he had carefully configured.
“This fog…”
Gu Sanqiu hesitated for a moment, but still stopped the urge to go over and smell it. Although he had a good relationship with Hu Tao, he didn't want to become a customer of Wangsheng Hall in the short term.
Besides, to be honest, he is not afraid of the so-called North Sea Monster Kingdom.
Even if there is such a place, if he has the guts, he can come to Teyvat to cause trouble for Gu Sanqiu~

There is still no news about the guy who is collecting harems everywhere. It is estimated that the timeline has not yet come for the emergency food to be fished out .
No matter what the future holds, the demon-level bosses now won’t have as many concerns as they will in the future.
Come to Liyue to cause trouble for him, an official employee?
Heaven and Earth are shaking!
Having figured it out, Gu Sanqiu no longer hesitated. Instead, he carelessly struck down with a hammer, directly knocking the mist wrapped around the iron ingot into nothingness.
"The initial forging is complete, just waiting until night."
Gu Sanqiu gently brushed the hot anvil with two fingers, his expression full of seriousness.
"I will definitely do what I promised you, don't worry."
…
Late at night, Gu Sanqiu changed into night clothes, rushed out of the house carrying a small bag, tiptoeing along the way and quickly passing by the houses.
If he maintains this speed, the Thousand Rocks soldiers who guard the city on a daily basis will not be able to catch up with him at all. It would probably take someone with the Eye of God to catch him.
"Well, the data I calculated on a regular basis is indeed useful. If flying over eaves and walking on walls requires a certain direction, then the route I have measured now is definitely the fastest."
"Alas, day after day, the Gu family has never been at peace."
In mid-air, Grandma Ping watched Gu Sanqiu running rapidly toward the outside of Liyue Harbor and couldn't help but sigh.
"After all, the Gu family was once the leader of the Xuanmen Sect. It was only because they obeyed the Emperor's decree that they became the incense-bearing people and kept some incense for us in the secular world."
A slightly hoarse voice sounded beside Grandma Ping: "How about I ask a few of my men to follow and protect him?"
"No need, Gu has a lot of secrets."
Grandma Ping's eyes flashed with a strange color: "Until now, I haven't even seen Gu's divine eye, nor have I detected any elemental power in him."
"...How is this possible? Even though so many years have passed, there are always people who can take the lead in every generation of the Gu family. Why is it that the boy doesn't even have the Eye of God?"
"According to the detailed rules of the response to the Eye of God that the Emperor mentioned back then, that kid has no wish in his heart?"
"Moreover, without elemental power and God's Eye, how can one reach his speed?"
“That’s what I’m curious about.”
Grandma Ping smiled and said, "Let's find a smart kid who can do magic to follow him. I also want to see what Gu wants to do by not sleeping at night."
Outside the city, Gu Sanqiu patted the package on his back and did not attract the attention of the secret sentries outside the port while shuttling through the woods.
"Where do so many secret sentries come from? Nothing big has happened recently, right?"
Gu Sanqiu frowned. Normally, it was considered good if he could encounter two or three secret sentries when he went out. Today, the number he encountered doubled. Anyone could see that there was a problem.
call out--
After arriving at the agreed location, Gu Sanqiu made a strange gesture, took out a whistle from his arms and blew it.
The whistle, similar to the sound of a bird, became hoarse and unpleasant after passing through the gestures, as if the stench of a thousand-year-old foot binding could be sensed from the sound perspective.
"Hey, what a good kid."
Right in front of them, four guys in night clothes also showed up, looking at Gu Sanqiu who was carrying a bag with greedy smiles on their faces.
"How about it, have you brought what we asked for?"
"It's all here."
Gu Sanqiu threw the bag at the feet of these guys: "Then, according to the agreement, return the things to me?"
"My dear young master, those of us who make a living outside have a very hard life. In order to help you preserve the goods, we have lived a hard life in the mountains for several days."
The leader pulled out a dagger that was flashing with a faint blue light from his arms, and he and his companions moved towards Gu Sanqiu step by step.
"Then, the only heir of the Liyue Gu family should be worth a lot of money."
"Master, will you come with us?"
"well."
Gu Sanqiu sighed: "It really has fallen into decline. Little thieves like you dare to show off your power."
"But I don't plan to communicate with you normally."
"I'm not going to talk about morality with you guys in the treasure-stealing group. I guess only abnormal people would do such an inexperienced operation."
Before the treasure-stealing group could react, Gu Sanqiu's figure instantly disappeared from their sight. By the time they reacted, their eyes were gradually filled with darkness.
Even slower than the conscious reaction was the severe pain coming from the body. The pain in the throat and the last hint of red in the eyes all represented one thing.
I am dead?
"Don't worry, everyone. My knife is very sharp. It can definitely remove a kidney painlessly, and there's no need to use ice cubes at all."
"After all, if I cut you to death, there would be no need for ice."
Gu Sanqiu wiped the iron block in his hand. The small front part was soaked in blood, and the originally blue iron ingot was flashing with an evil red light.
"Haha, this idiot guy wants to blackmail me?"
Gu Sanqiu kicked one of the guys' head off and began to search the bodies carefully.
"Yohoo, found it."
Gu Sanqiu raised his eyebrows as he felt a hard lump on the thigh of a member of the treasure-stealing group.
"I knew you guys couldn't other people, but I never thought you would sew this thing into your body."
With his five fingers forming claws, Gu Sanqiu made a large tear in the opponent's thigh and took out a golden stone with red patterns from it.
"knock off."
Gu Sanqiu snapped his fingers, and the sound of flapping wings came from afar. A group of birds of different colors landed in an orderly manner near the corpse.
"Don't let go of any piece of meat, and don't waste any drop of blood."
