Chapter 72: Liyue Millennium
Looking at the confident Gu Sanqiu, Ningguang suddenly smiled. Her clean and gentle smile made her seem like that of the older sister next door, not Tianquanxing, nor the socialite Ningguang in social occasions.
She stood up and walked behind Gu Sanqiu, gently held Gu Sanqiu's cheeks with both hands, and kneaded them like dough.
"Not bad, my cute little brother has finally made progress in this area. I am very happy."
"Sister, I'm already this age now, can you please stop calling me cute? Just calling me handsome is fine."
"What does it matter to me how old you are? You are still the same careless brat."
Ningguang raised her right hand and gently stroked Gu Sanqiu's hair: "No matter how old you are, you will always be my lovely little brother."
"But do you think you really won?"
"Um?"
Gu Sanqiu was stunned, and then he saw the two gold and silver inlaid cards that Ningguang placed in front of him.
The Emperor's Coming: The Rock Emperor sweeps the four directions, removing all negative effects attached to us, increasing people's cohesion by 200%, and infrastructure efficiency by 100%.
The incense gate opens: the leader of the Xuanmen sect leads a lineage of monks down the mountain, increasing resistance to all enemy policies by 60% and triggering the special effect of "Millennium Heritage".
Millennium inheritance: Protected by many monks, our key personnel are in an "invincible" state for a certain period of time .
"So, do you think my post-war reconstruction will be slow? Will it be affected by you?"
"Do you think I have a chance of turning the tables?"
…
Gu Sanqiu leaned back.
This game is unplayable, it's unplayable!
There is nothing to say about the Emperor's coming. After all, in this world, these things are real and cannot be considered feudal superstition.
But the opening of the Fengxiang Gate is not even the result of a thousand-year heritage...
This time, I killed myself...
Bullshit!
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
Judging from your hairstyle, you don’t look like the kind of guy who can print cards on the spot!
Can we have a fair fight? Never mind. I can't afford to curse you.
"I finally know why I got that Endless War card."
Gu Sanqiu looked up at Ningguang who was blowing a puff of smoke at him.
"You've been waiting for me here for so long."
"Of course, sister, why would I set up a dead end that you can't win? Trust my ability to design Liyue's millennium."
"No, strictly speaking, it's impossible to draw the two cards Emperor's Descent and Fengxiangmen Opening in one go, and to hold back until the opponent uses the Endless War card before using it to turn the tables. Such harsh conditions are impossible to achieve."
Gu Sanqiu was somewhat speechless: "If someone could get these two cards at the beginning, Emperor's Descent would probably be used to widen the gap in the early stage, and at most Fengxiang Gate would be opened as a backup."
"But under the effect of the Endless War Card, even if the effect of the Millennium Heritage can protect your political structure from collapse, when the economic lifeline is controlled by another country with a complete political system, the political structure becomes an insignificant thing."
Gu Sanqiu rested half of his face on Ningguang's palm: "Sister, you still say you didn't mean it, who would believe you?"
If the card hadn't been printed on the spot, I, Gu Sanqiu, would have swallowed up this Qun Yu Pavilion on the spot!
"Well, you're smart. After all, my independent-minded brother went to such a far place to seek death. As your sister, I'm very worried about your safety, so I'll let you suffer a little in a place like this."
"Well, if it was just that simple, you wouldn't have asked me to come to the Jade Pavilion. Is there anything else important?"
"Well, when that lawless captain came to tell me that you were going to Lonely Cloud Pavilion, I actually wanted to capture all of you."
Ningguang withdrew her hand and pressed it on Gu Sanqiu's head. With her other hand, she put the pipe to her lips and took a light puff.
"Huh, I thought it was a conspiracy of the Sanxuan Society to get you away and distract me, but after I found out the identities of the other two, I was relieved."
"The Sangenkai... those idiots."
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Gu Sanqiu's eyes, and then he was hit lightly on the head by the hot bowl.
"Don't let your murderous intent run wild in my Jade Pavilion."
Ningguang said lightly, "So, while you were sailing on the sea, I deliberately revealed a flaw for the Sanxuan Society guys to notice, and made them suffer a loss."
"Otherwise, I would have asked Ganyu to capture all of you, my brat and the second young master of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce."
“…So, if it weren’t for those guys from the Sanxuan Society, we might not have been able to reach Guyun Pavilion?”
Gu Sanqiu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt complicated.
Should I thank those bastards?
If they hadn't held Ningguang back, he might not have been able to see the impact of the power suspected to be Kimer's on the Hillock people.
But...the guys from the Sanxuan Society, they are the most suspicious masterminds behind the Fire Vein Gold Stone case, and the biggest suspects who killed Zhen Gu Sanqiu!
"Sister, have you made any progress on that matter?"
"I don't know. These guys from the Sanxuan Society usually hide very well. If we don't pay more attention, we generally can't find any information about them, let alone any clues about something in the past."
Ningguang smiled faintly: "There is nothing about Liyue Harbor that can be hidden from me, Ningguang. The more they do this, the more I can confirm their suspicion."
"The Fire Vein, Gold and Stone case is almost certain."
Ningguang patted Gu Sanqiu, signaling him to walk out of the main pavilion with her.
"Well, the fresh air outside is indeed more comfortable."
Gu Sanqiu stretched lazily, then simply lay down on the deck with his hands under his head.
"Fire Vein Stone, how on earth did those guys break into my house, and it was just when I took out the Fire Vein Stone for worship."
"The point is, it was night time!"
Gu Sanqiu's eyes darkened. "It's said outside that anyone who enters my house at night will die, but those two crazy cloaked men succeeded. This is what I think is the most outrageous thing."
"I'm still investigating this, but I do have some clues I can share with you."
Ningguang sat next to Gu Sanqiu: "There is a thing that has the same origin as you. There are more of them, and some of them are still in the world today. Moreover, they are items that our official forces cannot count."
"It was that kind of power that offset a certain power in your family, which allowed it to successfully injure you and even steal the Fire Vein Stone."
Gu Sanqiu frowned. That was the only option that fit all of these requirements.
"A talisman with no taboos?"
"Yes, the only option that meets this requirement is the Hundred Taboos Talisman that has been handed down to this day. This is the most likely option."
"Does anyone from the Sanxuan Society have a talisman that has no taboos?"
Thinking about the fire veins and gold stones that were now safe, Gu Sanqiu shrugged.
"After what happened, the Hundred Unrestricted Taboos on those two people have probably been completely shattered. It is not impossible that their heads and bodies are separated."
"Is that so? I was planning to investigate the circulation of drugs during that period, but it seems that there is no need for that now."
Ningguang pinched Gu Sanqiu's face and said, "That's all I've told you. When you get down, remember to go to Yuehai Pavilion to find the people from the Qianyan Army."
"Why are you looking for them?"
"What else? You don't think you can get away with going to such a dangerous place without telling me and playing a game, right?"
Ningguang twisted Gu Sanqiu's cheeks and said, "You little bastard, if you do that again, I will put you in Yuehai Pavilion and make you work yourself to death. You are not allowed to go anywhere else!"
Three golden gems drilled under Gu Sanqiu's body, lifted him up, then accelerated suddenly and made an emergency stop outside the deck!
"Reflect on yourself!"
Accompanied by Ningguang's majestic teaching, Gu Sanqiu fell downwards with a dazed look on his face.
(°ー°〃)
"Sister, this is high up in the sky, this is high up in the sky!"
