Chapter 798: Bright Hope
…
Gu Sanqiu felt numb.
He had seen family recognition processes, but he had never seen one with such high efficiency. How could the relationship between relatives be sorted out as soon as they met?
Distant elder brother, right? Just wait and see how your distant elder brother will deal with you!
"Okay, I'll take care of this matter, you guys go do whatever you need to do."
Gu Sanqiu took Dolly away from Yuehai Pavilion. The little girl looked around along the way and was very curious about the completely different architectural styles.
"Master, there are only two of us now. I can call you big brother, right?"
Duoli said with a smile: "Brother, according to the customs of Liyue, shouldn't we go home first and let me recognize my ancestors? I will definitely follow the traditional etiquette strictly!"
Gu Sanqiu suddenly showed a vicissitudes of life expression and patted Dolly's head lightly.
"Little girl, you call me big brother, isn't this a bit confusing?"
Duo Li was startled, but she still forced herself to look at Gu Sanqiu without moving her eyes.
"Master, you are so young, so I must call you big brother, or is it that Master, you have the secret to maintaining your youthful appearance, and are actually my elder?"
That's not right. According to the information I have gathered, the current head of the Gu family should be a young man. What does this vicissitudes of life expression mean?
Gu Sanqiu smiled and said, "You call me big brother? Then you must be at least two thousand years old, otherwise you can only be my granddaughter for who knows how many generations."
Two thousand years old?!
Dolly was extremely shocked: "Brother, you must be kidding me, right?"
"How could that be?"
Gu Sanqiu said meaningfully: "Let's go, I'll take you to see some witnesses."
Outside Yujing Terrace, Grandma Ping was making tea for Gu Sanqiu and Duoli with a smile on her face. The medicine stove man beside her glanced at Duoli, then at Gu Sanqiu.
Something is wrong. Something is very wrong.
This little girl is not even an adult yet. This kid Gu is such a good-for-nothing. How could he do this?
I must find an opportunity to educate him properly!
"Haha, Ping, I haven't visited you for a long time. Your tea-making skills are much better than before."
Grandma Ping was stunned. It would be fine if this kid acted crazy normally, but why did he come to me today to act crazy?
Gu Sanqiu put his right hand on Duoli's head and said, "This is the descendant of my Gu family's branch in Xumi. From what she said, there should have been a young man who started a branch there. Today, he came here to recognize his ancestor."
Medicine Lu Weng moved his nose, without revealing his identity as an immortal, and gently shook the tail behind him at Grandma Ping.
I've smelled the blood, it's fake.
Grandma Ping understood immediately: "Master Wushuang, you are too kind. This tea-making technique is nothing more than practice makes perfect. Compared with someone like you who shined during the Demon God War, my ability is nothing."
Damn, the immortal really knows what God Gu looks like, but no one has ever told me before.
But the play still has to be performed.
Gu Sanqiu looked at Duoli with a smile: "Do you understand, child? I don't think it's your eldest brother. Liyue has never had a Fengxiang lineage, so your identity as a descendant of the Gu family is out of the question."
"Yes, it's just me who has played multiple roles over a long period of time."
Dolly shook her head firmly: "Brother, you must be lying to me, right? I am really a descendant of the Gu family. Not only that, I am also a loyal believer of the great god Morax!"
"No, you are not white-haired, so you have no say."
Dolly: ?
Gu Sanqiu was also a little helpless. Grandma Ping had specifically mentioned the four words "Demon War", but Dolly still refused to give in. What else could he do?
He was able to sneak into Liyue from the trail on the other side of the Layered Chasm without being discovered by the Thousand Winds Army. Combined with the character he has shown now, he will surely become a talented person in the future.
Why do you have to attribute your identity to being a descendant of the Gu family?
You are Dad’s follower, right? Just wait, I will take you to see the true face of the great god!
Before leaving, Grandma Ping put away the tea set with a smile and sent a message to Gu Sanqiu.
"Gu boy, this little girl seems to have an obsession in her heart, just do it, don't go too far."
"No problem, don't worry."
Hall of the Dead——
Zhongli looked at Gu Sanqiu expressionlessly: "Brother Gu, do you have any important business to come here this time? Yunhan Society has newly compiled a piece of music, why don't we go and enjoy it together?"
Subtext: If you have something to say, tell me what you mean, or I’ll beat you up.
Gu Sanqiu made a gesture of introduction and said, "This is Mr. Zhongli, a guest official of the Wangsheng Hall. He can be said to be the most knowledgeable person in the whole of Liyue. If you have any questions, just ask him."
Dolly was not afraid at all, and suddenly turned her head to look at the Huzhu who was eating the melon.
Humph, ever since Gu Sanqiu walked in, this girl has been staring at him, ready to watch the show, to see how I will decide the outcome with one move!
"You must be my brother's partner, hello sister-in-law!"
walnut:!!
Gu Sanqiu, Zhongli:?!
Town world...
Gu Sanqiu had just raised his hand when Zhongli's voice interrupted his plan of physically subduing the demon.
"I already know the origins of little friend Dolly."
Zhongli said calmly: "Even after so much time, the strong smell of medicine still lingers on my body, and I came to this place with thousands of ships and sails to 'return to my roots'."
"Do I need to explain my intention this time?"
"I think Miss Duoli is not a bad person. She wants to use the reputation of the Gu family because she has some unspeakable secrets concerning her family."
Zhongli looked at Duoli who looked panicked: "I just don't know if my judgment is correct?"
Gu Sanqiu gave a thumbs up in his heart.
As expected of you, Dad!
Walnut brought Dolly a glass of juice, and the family listened quietly to Dolly's story.
Faced with the high cost of treatment and the dire situation of being penniless, Dolly, who wanted to take a radical approach, went to Liyue with great effort, just to find a glimmer of hope for her sister.
Something is wrong. Something is very wrong.
Gu Sanqiu's brows twitched , something went completely wrong!
This feeling is exactly the same as when I rang the bell!
If I die, my cultivation lineage will completely become what I remember, but why do I have this feeling when I see Dolly!
No matter how promising her future is, she is just an ordinary person!
Either Dolly is lying, or there is something terribly wrong with this world!
"Brother Gu."
Zhongli said: "Let's leave some time and space for the two girls to talk privately. Let's leave this place first."
Gu Sanqiu understood, and followed Zhongli to another room, activating the soundproofing barrier with a wave of his hand.
"What's going on, Dad? Can you explain it to me?"
Gu Sanqiu frowned: "I had this feeling when I first met this girl. Now I think her behavior may have confused my perception."
"With that kind of illness and family background, her sister shouldn't be able to survive."
Zhongli said: "Perhaps you don't know it, but you have some special ability. The potential of this ability is unlimited, and it can even affect this world."
Gu Sanqiu nodded: "That's true, after all, I am the Supreme Lord of Filth."
"Could it be that I have the ability to absorb diseases from all over the world? No wonder so many people in this world want to cut me up."
"No, you listen carefully."
Zhongli put his hands on Gu Sanqiu's shoulders and looked directly at his rebellious son with his dragon eyes.
"You are hope, the brightest golden light in this world, not some filthy king. Do you understand?"
Gu Sanqiu grinned: "Then Dad, can you tell me some secrets and explain them to me?"
"I can't answer this question for you at the moment. After all, even I don't have an accurate answer."
“Just believe in it and have faith in yourself.”
Zhongli said, "As for that girl, help her if you can. Although her relationship with Xumi has been average in recent years, she was an old friend who came to Liyue in the past. You should decide for yourself."
"I can help, but not for free. Your ten gold coins will be nice."
"I understand."
As soon as Gu Sanqiu went out, the wind elf appeared.
"You really told him that he was hopeful. How can you be sure of such things? What if he accidentally says the wrong thing in the future?"
Zhongli stood with his hands behind his back: "I know that many people speculate that he has the deepest darkness and sin, as if the sins of the entire Gu family for thousands of years are concentrated on him alone."
"But I still believe that he is hope. Based on what my son has done for Liyue over the years, if he is not hope, who else can be?"
"As for the others, their opinions and ideas are just concepts and words, not ironclad facts."
"No one can convince anyone else. Everyone thinks they are right."
Zhongli said calmly: "But if necessary, I can also raise Guanhong in my hand and fight for justice for that rebellious son."
"Either listen to my reasoning or be completely quiet."
