Chapter 41: Fatal Question
"May I ask why?"
Gu Sanqiu looked at Zhongli thoughtfully. From the pictures on Keqing and Hutao's faces, it could be seen that this person was either extremely lucky or simply cheated.
Keqing also looked over here, obviously hoping that Gu Sanqiu would help them remove the stuff on their faces.
So embarrassing!
"Just now, the hall master made a bet that if I lose, the graffiti on my face must remain for one day, no more, no less."
Zhongli said calmly: "If you accept the bet, it means the contract is established, and leaving graffiti on your face is naturally part of the contract."
"As the people of Liyue, we must respect the sanctity of the contract and establish the creed of respecting the contract from small things."
Zhongli looked at Gu Sanqiu and said, "As a lineage of incense worship that has been passed down since ancient times, I believe that you should also have some understanding of this, Mr. Gu."
"Sanqiu, don't listen to this old stubborn man."
(○｀ 3′○)
Walnut said angrily: "Help me get rid of this painting. The contract contains graffiti, not this kind of ink painting. It doesn't count!"
Gu Sanqiu glanced at the "unreasonable" Hu Tao, then looked at Zhongli who was staring at him, and felt that his cold sweat was about to turn into streams of water.
I believe that as a descendant of incense worship, I will definitely have some insights?
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
This is not enlightenment at all, this is clearly a threat!
If I don't agree, then God will just send me to Wuwangpo, right?
"Well, I think what Mr. Zhongli said seems to be..."
"Three Autumns~"
Hu Tao held her cheeks and swayed in front of Gu Sanqiu: "Keqing and I are so cute, I'm sure you won't let us go out with such graffiti on our heads, right?"
When he noticed another pair of eyes staring at him, Gu Sanqiu began to break out in a cold sweat again.
He didn't notice this problem just now, but when Keqing looked at him, he realized the seriousness of the matter.
Would you be willing to let two girls you know walk out with such a painting on their heads?
Or do you want to risk your own life and fight head-on despite the hidden threat from the Rock King?
This is clearly a fatal question!
Gu Sanqiu inexplicably recalled the question that had been asked online that year: If your girlfriend and mother fell into the water , who would you save first?
When the law had not yet given clear instructions on this issue, people in the past seemed to use one sentence to refute their girlfriends.
If your father and I were arrested while going to the hospital for health care, and the police stipulated that only one person could be released on bail, what would you choose?
…
［○·｀Д′·○］
Damn! Why does my mind still wander to these strange places?
etc!
Gu Sanqiu's eyes lit up, and then he gently tapped Hu Tao 's brow, turned her cute little head away, and looked straight at Zhongli.
"Mr. Zhongli's words make sense. As a Liyue person, it is a very important choice to abide by the sanctity of the contract."
Hu Tao and Keqing's faces suddenly drooped. The former even took out the Staff of Homa and gestured at Gu Sanqiu's back, as if he was looking for that place to start.
"Well, that makes sense."
Zhongli nodded: "Then, it's time for us to..."
"but."
Gu Sanqiu continued with a smile: "As we all know, contracts are flexible, or in other words, there will be room for both parties to refer to."
"When you were making the bet just now, you didn't need to keep a specific day."
Gu Sanqiu pointed to the moon outside and said with a smile: "If that's the case, then they can also understand that the graffiti on the face can only be kept today. Am I right?"
"Um……"
Zhongli held his chin with his right hand and thought carefully.
"From a common sense perspective, it seems that such behavior cannot be called 'flexibility' in the contract. It is just a word game."
"However, I did not perfect the regulations in the contract. This is also my fault and I really need to reflect on it."
Zhongli nodded: "That makes sense. I have no objection to ending this bet in this way."
"Long live Sanqiu!"
Hu Tao jumped up happily, and Keqing beside her also showed a look of relief. If she went to work at Yuehai Pavilion with such a face tomorrow, she would definitely be so ashamed and angry that she would want to draw her sword and commit suicide!
"Sanqiu Sanqiu, come and hug me!"
Gu Sanqiu had a blank expression on his face. He held down Hu Tao who was flying towards him with one big hand, and pulled his ear with the other hand.
"Don't think I don't know what you just did behind me."
"Aren't you hungry after all this trouble? Come and eat."
"This is not a fuss. This is to provide some additional explanations on the details of the contract."
Gu Sanqiu looked at Keqing in shock. He didn't expect that someone like you would tell jokes.
But... could you please pick a time?
_(：з」∠)_
Stop rubbing salt into the old man’s scars. I’m really afraid of death!
"Wow, let me see what delicious dishes Sanqiu made today."
"Stir-fried shredded potatoes , golden shrimp balls, stir-fried shredded potatoes, potato cakes, beef stew with potatoes, sauerkraut potato fish..."
Hu Tao's expectations gradually cooled like her expression, and then she looked at Gu Sanqiu expressionlessly.
"Why did I see potato and radish cakes? Sanqiu, did you disturb the lair of the potato devil today? Are you planning to choke me to death by making these dishes?"
"Don't read those weird biographical novels by Mond. We don't call him the potato devil here, we call him the potato spirit."
Gu Sanqiu shrugged: "It's mainly about today's main dish. If you haven't eaten potatoes, you probably won't be able to eat today's main dish."
"Well, with such a rich dish, you actually said this is just the preparation before the main course?"
Zhongli began his standard thinker posture again: "Interesting, I am increasingly looking forward to what the so-called main course will be."
Keqing entered a dazed mode. If this were normal, one dish would be her main meal, and two more dishes could be considered as extra meals to celebrate.
And now there was this huge table of dishes, and she was told that they were just the food before the main course?
We are different, different...
"Don't worry, I can't say anything else, but I guarantee that the food will satisfy you."
Gu Sanqiu pushed Hu Tao into her seat, and Zhongli and Keqing sat down in perfect harmony.
"Come here, Mr. Zhongli, this is a fine wine from my personal collection. I'd like to trouble you to help me taste it."
"Oh? Even the Fengxiang people need to collect fine wines. Interesting."
Gu Sanqiu smiled and poured Zhongli a full glass of cola from a double-flask.
"You two stop looking, I can only give you drinks."
When Gu Sanqiu treated Hu Tao and Keqing, his expression changed and he handed a large pot of Coke to Keqing.

Not only did I fail to trick the old man, but I was also asked to clean up the mess for you, and I even had to face the possibility of being threatened by the old man.
Bad review!
