Chapter 70 Return
"This is not called work, you are skipping work to take risks with your friends."
"You still know that I'm absent from work."
Gu Sanqiu smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go back and have a big meal. We haven't had any hot meals on the sea for a while. Would you consider treating me to a good meal when you two go back?"
"no problem."
Chongyun stood up and patted his chest: "I still have enough money for a meal, so let me treat you. How about we go to the best restaurant in Liyue?"
"Then we might as well go to the Hall of All Peoples."
Xingqiu rolled his eyes: "I'm tired of eating at both of those restaurants."
Gu Sanqiu shrugged nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter where we eat. I want to eat a full meal of carrots."
! !
Xingqiu's pupils trembled. He raised his head and quickly glanced at Gu Sanqiu, his eyes revealing a message like "Is this what a human being would say?"
“Stir-fried shredded radish, stir-fried carrot with meat, radish cake, radish pancake, farm-style fresh food platter…”
“Stop, stop!”
Xingqiu crossed his hands and made a gesture: "Are you planning to hold a banquet? I think you are going to trick me!"
"That's right, Lao Gu, why did you order these special dishes? Xingqiu really hates eating carrots. I think we can just order some ordinary meals."
Gu Sanqiu patted Chongyun on the shoulder and said, "You don't understand. It's because he doesn't like it that I specifically asked for these dishes."
"Why!"
"I want to give you an unforgettable memory. Even if you don't want to eat it this time, I will force the carrot into your mouth."
Gu Sanqiu put one hand in his pocket and pushed the boat into the water with the other hand: "If I hadn't come with you this time, would you and Chongyun have wanted to break through that sea area and come to Guyun Pavilion to seek death?"
"Hey, hey, this isn't the way to settle accounts later."
Xingqiu said helplessly: "I didn't expect these places to be so dangerous. Can we go back first and talk about this later?"
"Besides, if you weren't here, I would have made all the necessary preparations before going out. How could I have been so rash as to go out to sea in a small boat?"
"Don't worry, I promise you'll have carrots for your first meal after you return. Flattery won't help."
The sails fluttered in the wind, and the few people set out on the journey back to Liyue Harbor, and soon arrived at the territory of the large conch again.
Chongyun lay on the edge of the boat bored, and even had the leisure to reach his hand into the sea to attract those strange little fish to rush over.
"I think we don't need to fight that guy anymore. I remember he was very slow to come out. We just need to drive away those annoying little fishes, and then we can just leave this area."
"No, we are on our way back now. Even if there is any trouble, we have already escaped. Xingqiu should have told you that I cannot use my full strength in a populated area."
Noticing that the ocean currents below were beginning to fluctuate abnormally, a sneer appeared on Gu Sanqiu's lips.
"Let me show you the skills passed down by the Fengxiang family!"
boom!
A purple-black lightning fell from the sky and accurately hit the conch that had just emerged!
Chongyun stared blankly at the sea surface with black smoke and the fish floating up on their stomachs, then glanced at Gu Sanqiu who looked fine.
"The lightning struck with great precision, killing the conch in one move and also killing all the fish through the electric shock reaction. Moreover, the aftermath of the lightning did not hurt us at all..."
Chongyun was already a little incoherent. The above three items respectively represented single-target damage, group damage, and precise force control capabilities.
"Lao Gu, I want to learn this!"
"Oh, that's right, I almost forgot about the secret method I promised you."
Gu Sanqiu smiled and said, "After you go back to fix it, come to my house and give it to you. Although it's not as powerful as mine, it's still considered a high-level killing method in the circle."
"If Xingqiu dares to mess with you again, just freeze him into an ice cube. Anyway, at this stage, and with the help of my secret technique, his water power will definitely be defeated by you."
Of course, as long as the goal is not set as "freezing it into a popsicle so that Xingqiu can lick it conveniently", then one's own secret method can be considered to be used in the right way.
"Why am I always the one who gets hurt, Sanqiu? I seriously suspect that you are targeting me!"
"Be more confident, I am indeed targeting you."
Gu Sanqiu said calmly: "The Guhua School's moves and techniques are constantly improving with each generation, so I can't use previous information to judge the current power of the Guhua School's heritage."
"You are not bad in talent, or you can say you are gifted. If you can fully master any one of the Guhua School's sword tactics, spear tactics, or spear and sword tactics, I will not target you."
"Even if there is only one, it can give you more protection during your adventures and chivalrous deeds. At least this time when we encountered those hill thugs, I didn't go down to attract the enemy and then you took the opportunity to escape."
Gu Sanqiu said in a serious tone: "This world is very dangerous. Being chivalrous can be a hobby, an adventure, something you do during your training, or something you think you should do, but you can't put the cart before the horse."
"Strengthen yourself. This will ensure that you will not die violently while doing justice, and you will be able to carry on your hobbies until the day you grow old."
…
After a moment of silence, Xingqiu smiled bitterly and said, "Well, I was wrong about this matter. I rashly suggested . I apologize to both of you."
"No, I should be the one to apologize. If it weren't for my problem, you two wouldn't have to take risks in a place like this."
…
I suspect that you two are trying to excuse each other, but I have no evidence.
"uh-huh."
Gu Sanqiu cleared his throat heavily. "This is not a forum for sharing responsibilities. I am just telling you what to do right. It is nothing to take a risk to go to a dangerous place for a friend."
"It's normal to do something for a friend, but it doesn't conflict with what I told you about improving your strength. Just like this time we came to Guyun Pavilion which was considered an adventure, but if we were stronger, it wouldn't be a problem for us to swim over here."
“…”
Xingqiu noticed something was wrong: "So, as long as we become stronger, adventures can become a process of 'seeking death without dying'."
"Yeah, that's understandable."
Σ(⊙▽⊙“a
Although this logic feels like something is wrong, it seems to make sense at first glance... maybe?
A few days later, Gu Sanqiu, who was standing on the observation deck and damaging his health, exhaled a puff of smoke and shouted at the two guys who were arguing below.
"Hey, we're almost at Liyue Harbor. Is there any girl you love waiting for you to go home? If so, hurry up and get dressed."
Of course this is just a joke.
"Eh? But Xingqiu told me that at times like this, you should make yourself look even more miserable, so that you can arouse your partner's feelings of pity for you."
"Don't pay attention to him. He's a bachelor and he doesn't know anything."
…
Gu Sanqiu was silent for a while: "Sorry, it seems that all three of us are involved."
“Hahahahahaha!”
Xingqiu laughed so hard that his forehead hit the rudder. “Gu Sanqiu, ah, Gu Sanqiu, there are times like this for you too. Hahaha, I’ve made a note of this!”
Gu Sanqiu was about to retort, but frowned and looked towards the vaguely visible port.
Almost an hour later, when Gu Sanqiu could clearly see the figures in the port, he shuddered all over and rolled over onto the deck.
"Turn around, turn around! Let's go to Guyun Pavilion for some fun!"
