Chapter 819: Gu Sanqiu
The show failed, or to be more precise, it was half a failure. Gu Sanqiu took Keli and slipped away first as a sign of respect.
For someone with Albedo's personality, he has to find a reason to leave even to celebrate his birthday.
Maybe he felt embarrassed?
There are concerns like "I am an artificial human, I should not have emotions", even things like celebrating the apprentice's birthday have to be done in private.
But this is also a good thing. Being shy and embarrassed is also a kind of progress.
However, forget about the remarks like “Xingqiu is more important than me”. It is better not to have this kind of progress in the future.
If you come here once, the whole road will be destroyed. If you come here more than once, you will have to reopen this world.
And the most crucial part is that the magical teacher Albedo was righteously backstabbed by his own sister, otherwise Gu Sanqiu might not have discovered it.
According to his logic, Albedo must have discovered something that was closely related to him, but he didn't want to involve other people in the trouble, so he chose to solve it alone.
This is how the plot unfolds before an important character dies. If there is no divine soldier or halo blessing, under normal circumstances, it is necessary to choose a Feng Shui treasure land for the other party in advance.
"Kelly is really the best."
Gu Sanqiu lifted Keli up high and asked, "What are you going to do for this event? Keli, do you have any idea?"
"I've already thought about it!"
Klee is full of confidence: "Klee is going to open a store with brother Albedo, a toy store!"
To be precise, it should be called a stall.
However, asking Albedo to come and help is more or less a bit abstract. For the children, this is not a dimensionality reduction attack, but a destructive natural disaster.
"Haha, then Klee, keep up the good work and remember to earn more tickets. I have prepared a lot of gifts for you after the event is over."
"Well, Klee will do her best!"
Albedo, pretending nothing happened, returned to the team. Gu Sanqiu, also pretending nothing happened, touched Klee's head and prepared to go to Wangshu Inn.
The event will begin tomorrow, and the tourists from Mond will stay in the newly built guesthouse of the Dawn Winery.
Participants from Liyue Harbor were also on their way, accompanied along the way by Thousand Rock Soldiers who were involved in the event's security work.
What Gu Sanqiu had to do was simple, which was to give a strong dose of medicine to the children who were a little nervous and might not understand what the activity was about.
"That's probably the reason, Brother Xiao."
At a dining table with a great view in Wangshu Inn, Gu Sanqiu was explaining the reason to Xiao.
He planned to invite this demon-conquering saint to show up, so that at least the children would know that this great man who lived in the mouths of storytellers and the words of novelists, the messenger of justice in their hearts, would appear at the event venue.
The special guest is.
Take a stroll around Liyue and fly to Mondstadt, and the topic will increase and the children's enthusiasm will rise!
Although there may be fewer legends about the Great Sage who subdues demons in Mondstadt, Xiao is the golden roc in the wind, and his affinity with the people of Mondstadt is more compatible.
The azure-gold-colored Dapeng in the sky flapped its wings and flew towards Qingce Village, telling the children that the destination of the Great Sage’s flight was the place where they were holding the event.
If there wasn't some rationality left in his mind, Gu Sanqiu would have planned to customize a piece of clothing for Brother Xiao, with some sponsor slogans on it, and it would be best if the wind element could be used to magnify and manifest it in the air.
Um, maybe a cape would be more appropriate?
That seems to be the saying.
But you will die.
He didn't know how strong Xiao was now, but he could still feel a sense of pressure when sitting opposite him.
After killing for so many years, his strength has undoubtedly reached the level of an ancient. Gu Sanqiu can only detect this much at present.
"Don't you have confidence in the event you're hosting?"
Gu Sanqiu shook his head honestly: "I am definitely confident, but that doesn't stop me from adding fuel to the fire."
"Although you are a Yaksha who fights against demons and monsters, you still need to rest occasionally. You can't focus all your attention on work every day."
"In addition to the Thousand Rocks Army and the Knights of Favonius from Mondstadt, I have also called out the Wind Guards from the cultivation lineage and the Church of Favonius. Safety can be guaranteed."
"By the way, clearing out some demons and evil spirits on the way here would be a bonus. After all, food and lodging are provided during the event, and they can all get red envelopes after it's over."
"The opportunity has already been created, Brother Xiao. How can we not take a good rest with such a great opportunity?"
Xiao put down the teacup. In it was not the fine tea that Gu Sanqiu brought to Philgodette and the others, but the Qianyang Soul-Calming Wine that Gu Sanqiu brought him a long time ago.
As for what container he used to drink from, he didn't really care.
"Then this is a perfect opportunity. I can take advantage of the multi-party activities to go deep into some areas that are usually not convenient to go to and clean up those guys hiding in the dark corners."
Xiao said: "I believe you also know that these demons hiding in the dark often regain a certain degree of wisdom and become more difficult to deal with. We must take this opportunity to give them a fatal blow."
Gu Sanqiu: ...
Why doesn't this make sense? Does my dad know that you work so hard?
Oh, no, it seems that the person who trained Xiao Ge to be this hardworking and diligent office worker is his father who is probably still enjoying the opera and good tea.
Gu Sanqiu argued with reason, and it could even be said that he was confusing logic.
"But Brother Xiao, you said they have high IQs. Since we've made such a big fuss here, how could they still have the courage to show up?"
"After all, they don't dare to gamble on who the target of this major operation is. Considering their own safety, they will definitely choose to escape from Liyue. If you go there now, you will definitely not be able to find any trace of them."
Xiao nodded: "That's true, but in order to prevent them from doing the opposite, it is still necessary to investigate."
If I continue, it will be a logical dead loop, the kind where you guess and I guess and you guess.
Although it has been seen before that Xiao is quite stubborn in this regard, this kind of logical thousand-layer cake feeling is really the first time.
Maybe it’s because of my job?
As a second-generation boss and perhaps a future big boss, Gu Sanqiu is persuading his employees to rest early and not work overtime, but this employee insists on working with the attitude of "work until I die".
It’s so weird, so weird!
The only one in the world!
Gu Sanqiu was at a loss. He sat on a chair and waited for Brother Xiao to finish his meal. He then asked someone to come and take away all the bowls, chopsticks and plates. He then took out three incense sticks and lit them on the spot.
You forced me to do this! (Impotent rage)
Xiao was a little confused: "What are you doing?"
"The incense god sent a message. I used the connection between my family and my father to pass on what I wanted to say. You can also think of it as the prayers of ordinary people when they go to the temple to burn incense."
Gu Sanqiu maintained a pair of dead fish eyes and began to worship.
"But unlike them, ordinary people may not get a response when they burn incense, but I will definitely get a response."
"I want my father to give me an imperial decree, an order to force you to take a vacation!"
