Chapter 46: The Young Master’s Invitation
"Eh? You're not smiling?"
Tartaglia was visibly stunned. "I thought of such a joke, but I didn't expect that it wouldn't even resonate with me at all?"
"ha?"
This time it was Gu Sanqiu's turn to be confused. He also knew that hearty laughter and some conversational techniques such as jokes could indeed help people narrow social distances.
So the question is, what's so funny about Dada Duck's series of words just now?
"Generally speaking, when someone compliments you or someone else on how handsome they are, shouldn't the person you're talking to respond politely?"
Tartaglia explained seriously: "For example, 'You are indeed very handsome', 'No, no, I am just an ordinary-looking person' and so on."
"Also, how can a sister say that her brother is handsome? It's good enough if she doesn't say that her brother is a big pig's hoof."
Dada Duck frowned and thought: "I haven't learned how the people of Liyue compliment each other, but generally speaking, it should be correct to compliment a man on his handsomeness."
"Well, that's true. Maybe you and I have different personalities than the executive officer I expected."
Gu Sanqiu replied calmly, "As for your comment that you praised the person you were talking to as a handsome guy, but I didn't respond to that, I can give you a very reasonable explanation ."
"Oh? I'd like to hear more about it."
"That's because I think I'm very handsome, a 100% handsome guy."
(￣△￣；)
This time it was Dadalia and Amir beside her turn to be stunned.
What kind of brain circuit is this?
This is definitely proof of the ultimate shamelessness!
"Hahahaha, Gu Xiangjun is indeed an interesting person. It seems that I am not very proficient in these aspects of conversation skills. I have learned something today."
Tartaglia picked up the teacup and said, "Then I will use tea instead of wine to toast you."
"With the same respect."
Gu Sanqiu raised his teacup and clinked it with the other person's. "However, the executive officer must be very busy. Is it really okay for you to chat with me here?"
"It's not really just idle chat."
Tartaglia smiled and said, "I was thinking of meeting you sometime."
"But today, I happen to have a dinner party at Liuli Pavilion. I wonder if Gu Xiangjun would be so kind as to go with me?"
"Wait until I finish the deal with Amir."
For incense burners, dinner parties are not very common. After all, everyone knows that incense burners have huge secrets from their identities to their residences, and no one wants to cause trouble for themselves.
If they do invite someone over, and the person burning incense has a fate that will bring death to the host, then he will have no place to cry.
Especially for those large families with the same ancient heritage, the various stories derived from the incense burners can definitely be compiled into a super thick collection of horror stories.
Amir reported to Tartaglia in a low voice, and the young master was stunned for a moment and then waved his hand.
"Pure water, right? I know about that. It's a small matter. If Gu Xiangjun needs it, I can give you one as a personal gift."
"That's a lot for one party."
Gu Sanqiu was indeed surprised by Tartaglia's generosity. Being able to donate it in a private capacity meant that one party only accounted for a small part of the inventory of the Northland Bank.
Hmm, what's with the sudden urge to rob the Northland Bank?
"Okay, I'll be there on time whenever the dinner starts."
"Don't worry about this."
A sharp light flashed in Tartaglia's eyes: "I am quite interested in the Taoist martial arts inherited from Liyue. I wonder if Xiangjun can give me some advice."
"Xiang Jun is also a person who possesses the divine eye. A competition between the two of us shouldn't be considered as one bullying the other, right?"
Tartaglia stood up and bowed, "Please, Xiangjun."
Gu Sanqiu narrowed his eyes. If an ordinary person was hit by Yaya's fantastic combination of punches, he would probably have problems socializing. In other words, his mind would not be so clear.
But Gu Sanqiu's train of thought was also wild and irregular. He knew that this guy had only two purposes after meeting him by chance.
First, dinner parties. This is not even that important. After all, there can be many dinner parties. Whether you can invite certain people depends on fate.
Second, and most important, is competition!
"Okay, now?"
Gu Sanqiu agreed without hesitation. Ever since he was recognized by the Eye of Legend, he had always wanted to test what level he was at now.
But due to various circumstances, there has never been this opportunity. Now it’s good, I have an excellent sparring partner who will not have any problem winning or losing!
"Very good, very refreshing!"
Tartaglia's eyes lit up, obviously not expecting Gu Sanqiu to agree so readily.
"We the Fatui have a newly built camp outside the city. It has quite complete facilities and even first aid measures. Why don't we go there?"
Amir was in an awkward mood, not because Tartaglia specifically mentioned the first aid measures, but because he was obviously telling the other party to be happy to kill him.
But because, could he really tell this semi-official guy in front of him about something like "the new camp of the Fatui outside the city"?
What "complete venue facilities"? You might as well say that the Fatui built a new training camp outside!
Don’t let the situation happen where two people have just finished fighting and left, and then the Qianyan Army will come over shouting slogans and take over their territory.
However, it seems that the young master is not the incompetent person who neglects official business.
Amir seemed to be thinking about something. Could it be that the young master thought that the guy in front of him had no intention of telling Qixing about this matter?
this……
With the help of a special carriage and the mechanical improvements of the Kingdom of Zhidong, it didn't take Gu Sanqiu and his companions much time to arrive at the so-called camp.
One by one, the muscular men of Zhidong took off their shirts and were shouting slogans during training. There were even a few Leiying warlocks standing nearby, pointing and talking at the guys who were training on the field with a smile on their faces.
"Hmm...don't those guys train?"
Tartaglia smiled helplessly: "In principle, the Thunder Warlocks are all subordinates of someone else. I don't have the right to supervise them."
"However, I know what you mean. As for strength, I can tell you that there is really no need for those girls to train. Their strength cannot be improved through training."
"You actually told me such an important thing?"
Gu Sanqiu glanced at Dada Ya in surprise and said, "You, are you planning to poison the medicine after the competition? Or are you just going to send me away here?"
"Hey, you have to speak with conscience. Besides, I, Tartaglia, am not that kind of person. I guarantee this as the executive officer 'Young Master'."
Tartaglia smiled and said, "Anyway, the source of their strength should not be something that Liyue is currently capable of replicating."
"Oh? Is this one of the results of your hard work in Mondstadt?"
Tartaglia's expression did not change at all: "It is useless to provoke me with such words. I can only tell you that the executive officers are not monolithic."
"I am not too accustomed to the doctor's style and approach."
"If you can kill him one day, maybe I can find an opportunity to come over and have a drink with you in private to celebrate?"
A smile appeared on Tartaglia's lips: "As for what kind of person I am..."
"Let's fight! Let the passion and killing intent show each other what kind of people we are!"
