Chapter 34 Yu Heng Summons
"uh-huh."
The black-robed cat was scurrying around on the roof with light steps, but when he heard a deliberate cough behind him, his face stiffened and he turned to look at Grandma Ping who was standing with her hands behind her back.
"Oh, what a coincidence, you are also walking on the roof?"
"I can go to Yujingtai for a walk, eat at Huyan, or go to the harbor to watch the sunset, but I have never had the hobby or habit of walking on the roof."
Grandma Ping's eyes were somewhat dangerous: "Did you go to find Gu boy?"
"Hey, stop talking about it. It makes me unlucky when you talk about this."
The black-robed cat looked helpless: "I wanted to have a good meal, but I didn't expect that I would be outwitted by that little guy. What a shame."
"But your consciousness is more agile and rounded than the last time I saw you. This is proof that you have eaten something good."
After hearing this, the black-robed cat showed a complicated look.
"Heh, I thought that the things that boy made were all chef-level, but I didn't expect that he would also make such strange dishes."
The man and the cat moved to another place. After listening to the black-robed cat's retelling, Grandma Ping fell silent for a rare time and looked in the direction of the Gu family.
After a long while, Grandma Ping finally spoke: "Gu boy, did I really tell you that?"
"That's right. If I didn't know that he was the incense burner, I would have wanted to catch him and ask him about the situation."
The black-robed cat nodded: "From the way he talked to me, this guy seemed to be serious. He even gave me a weird feeling that he had planned everything ."
"Are you planning to destroy Liyue Harbor?"
Grandma Ping shook her head: "He is not that kind of person. It can only be said that something suddenly affected his mind."
"Let me be frank. Even if you are the one who offers incense and is most responsible for receiving nighttime visitors, how could he possibly tell you so much when he meets you for the first time?"
"What's the matter?"
The black-robed cat disagreed: "Isn't it said that the people who are most likely to tell the truth are strangers you meet for the first time and close friends you are particularly familiar with? I should be in the former category."
"You saw this guy doing business with those thieves last time. Do you think he is the kind of person who would casually talk about these things with strangers?"
Grandma Ping sneered and said, "Come on, I was planning to teach you a lesson, but now it seems that you are even more confused than me, so I will let you go today."
"That's good, that's good."
The black-robed cat breathed a sigh of relief, and then followed closely in Grandma Ping's footsteps.
"Please buy me a cup of tea. You can't imagine what I ate tonight. I really don't want to taste that taste again."
The sun rose and the night faded away. Gu Sanqiu looked at Yicheng who came to his door and another person he had never seen before and fell into deep thought.
"Gu Xiangjun, there is something urgent that needs your help."
The stranger handed over the name card with both hands: "Qixing Yuheng wants to see you. I hope you can go to Yuehai Pavilion before tonight. Then someone will naturally lead you to see Yuheng Star."
"Are you Yue Haiting's secretary?"
Yuehai Pavilion is where the Seven Stars discuss things. It is not wrong to regard it as the relevant department building of Liyue Harbor. The secretaries inside are all the ultimate patchwork of office workers and hardworking people.
"Yes, I have something important to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."
Gu Sanqiu took the visiting card and glanced at Yicheng: "What about you? Why are you here? You didn't tell me that you happened to be patrolling here."
"Hey, I was just asked to lead the way. When the others heard that we were here to see Xiangjun, they all became much more timid. So I had to come alone."
Yicheng smiled and said, "Since the matter is done, Gulu, I will leave first."
"Wait, this is for you. My friend sent it to me from another place."
Gu Sanqiu raised his hand and threw a packaging bag to Yicheng: "Bread, although it may not suit the taste of Liyue people, it should be enough to satisfy hunger."
Item: Bread Caterpillar
Caterpillar bread, or bread caterpillar? I can't tell the difference.
Source: Secret Creatures
Note: After killing the insect, bake it on both sides for three minutes. The venom accumulated in its body will turn into thick jam. What you will get after that is perfect caterpillar bread. Of course, there are also rich practitioners who only eat the jam in its body.
"Okay, thank you Xiangjun. I haven't felt hungry for a long time since you gave me that bowl of noodles. Your cooking skills are really good."
Seeing Yicheng giving him a thumbs up, Gu Sanqiu instead focused on the other's flat belly.
I really want to dissect this guy and see what his digestive system looks like. I guess it's like he's keeping a small world inside his body.
That bowl of animal bone ramen is definitely enough for most people to consume for a day. Even if they work overtime at night, they don't even need to have a midnight snack, unless they are craving for food.
When it comes to Yicheng, all he gets is a simple “I haven’t been hungry for a while”, which is quite outrageous.
"Well, think about it, dissecting Yicheng does seem to have some value."
Gu Sanqiu was chewing the packed snacks. It wasn't that he disliked the bread today, but the sight of it reminded him of the exploding bugs that the black-robed cat had told him about yesterday, and for a moment he lost his appetite.
"Obviously, I like sweets the most."
"Please wait a moment."
The Qianyan Army soldier at the door frowned when he saw who it was, but he still waved his white tasseled spear responsibly to block Gu Sanqiu's way.
"Xiangjun, we do not allow outside food to enter. Please finish your meal before entering."
"Oh, sorry, I haven't been to this place for a long time. I was negligent."
"You must be Gu Xiangjun, right? Please follow me. Lord Yuheng has been waiting for you for a long time."
Seeing Gu Sanqiu being led in another direction, the two gatekeepers subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
What happened a few days ago has now spread, and they really don't want to run into this humanoid walking ghost.
"Master Yuheng is inside."
Gu Sanqiu nodded, opened and closed the door neatly, then found a place to sit down and watched the girl with cat ears who was busy at her desk.
By the way, have I been having a bad relationship with cats these past few days?
Gu Sanqiu snapped his fingers and rubbed a ball of flame from his fingertips.
Keqing glanced at Gu Sanqiu and said, "Smoking is prohibited in Yuehai Pavilion. If you want to smoke, you can only go outside."
"Then can you come out with me to discuss business?"
"no."
"Okay, you're overthinking it. I ordered this just to have fun with you."
"You're happy when I'm unhappy, right?"
"As expected of you, you are the Jade Star. Your intelligence is like the shining stars in the sky. It is so bright and also quite eye-catching."
“You bastard…”
Keqing gritted her teeth, wondering if the lunatic in front of her still remembered the quarrel they had before.
"Oh, there's something else you need to know."
"Before that, I'll stop for a moment and tell you something private between old friends."
Gu Sanqiu handed a stack of banknotes to Keqing.
"This is what Grandma Lin gave me. She feels sorry for you and asked you to take care of your health and not spend all your salary on it."
"In addition to the financial support from your family, you actually have to pay your salary. It would be strange if Grandma Lin didn't worry about your living standards."
"You mean you still look down on my little money?"
(·へ·╬)
"Strictly speaking, Mora is a general equivalent, or a currency used by the seven nations. The value it carries is not subject to human will."
Gu Sanqiu nodded: "Just because you are from Yuheng Star, one Mora can't be spent as ten Mora. Of course, it may be possible in Liyue, but I believe you won't do that."
"To sum up, it's not that I look down on your little money, but..."
Gu Sanqiu suddenly stopped talking and looked at Keqing, who was standing close to him with a long sword in her hand and a terrifying smile on her face.
(′·_·`)
"Come on, keep talking. Don't be afraid. Tell me what you really think."
"As a dignified incense burner, you wouldn't lie to me halfway through your speech, would you?"
Keqing tilted her head and gently struck Gu Sanqiu's chest twice with her sword.
"By the way, lying in front of Nanahoshi is a serious crime~"
