Chapter 845: Love in Gu Sheng's Eyes
"Hey, kid, tell me the thing that you can't tell that weird old man."
On the way back to Liyue, Xiao Hei nudged Gu Sanqiu hard with his elbow.
"Hurry up, hurry up. There will be no chance after we return to Liyue. Now is the time to tell me something I cannot listen to."
Gu Sanqiu glanced at him and said, "The thing that cannot be said is very simple. I asked Nashida if there are any particularly good-looking Xumi girls to introduce to me."
"Think about it, if dad wants me to find a Liyue native in the future, wouldn't that be in direct conflict with my idea? So of course I have to remind her not to tell dad."
Xiao Hei shook his head at the speed of light: "What are you thinking about? That weird old man doesn't bother to care about this kind of thing. As long as you have the ability, it doesn't matter who you find to him."
"What's that saying? Oh, open-minded. That weird old man is the kind of guy with a broad mind and a broad mind!"
Gu Sanqiu glanced at Xiao Hei and asked, "Did your father put a curse on you?"
Calling the ruling black man of a country by a nickname doesn't seem like someone who would praise his father!
"Go away, what do you know, kid? There is a precedent for this."
Xiao Hei glanced at the ground and said, "As long as you don't go too far and look for the country below, Dad will definitely not care about you."
"Dad?"
Gu Sanqiu noticed the element.
Xiao Hei shook his head: "I'm just testing your way of calling. How can you say such a corny word?"
Want to beat someone up.
Gu Sanqiu's mouth twitched: "Let's not talk about this for now. Do you think my aesthetic taste can still appreciate a bunch of demons and monsters?"
"You can't say that."
Xiao Hei said, "That little golden-haired girl was also pretty, wasn't she pretty in your eyes?"
Gu Sanqiu sneered: "Strictly speaking, you are a serious little boy in her eyes. She is much older than you."
"Anyway, the old man wouldn't care about this kind of problem."
Xiao Hei shrugged, "When the old saint was writing love letters, many men and women sent him letters. I didn't blame the old man for saying anything against it. Relax."
"men and women?"
Gu Sanqiu suspected that he had heard it wrongly: "Is it true? Is Gu Sheng that powerful?"
"It's not that bad. If she really had that ability, she wouldn't be single for her whole life."
Xiao Hei snorted: "She doesn't have a clear crush on someone, and she doesn't even know her own orientation."
"She just likes 'beautiful' things, a certain quality in a person that is close to 'perfection'. In short, she has never liked a complete person."
"After all, when it comes to love, you and your partner need to work together and accept both the good and the bad, so that it can last long."
Xiao Hei let out a sigh: "Rather than saying that the old saint is a playboy, it is better to say that she is pursuing the 'beauty' or truth that is pieced together from various precious qualities."
Gu Sanqiu understood: "Then the question is, did she succeed in the end?"
"That's not the case, but those who can receive love letters from the old saint can basically make a name for themselves in various fields. It can also be understood that they have talents several levels higher than ordinary people in certain things."
Xiao Hei smiled and said, "Anyway, during that time, the weird old man and several members of the Seven Stars were all quite relaxed. We could find the talents to build Liyue by following the love letters."
"Rather than a love letter expressing one's true feelings to another, it's more like a 'high-level talent acquisition list'. Those who received the love letter were basically recruited by various organizations."
As expected of a dad, he can actually find something doable from this operation.
However, sending love letters to so many people is really too hardcore.
Gu Sanqiu glanced at Xiao Hei and said, "Now that we are in Liyue, I have another question. I have met you so many times, but you don't intend to tell me your true identity."
"I'm curious."
"Hey, it's normal to be curious. The more curious you are, the less likely I am to tell you."
The little black monster smiled and disappeared: "Don't worry, Master, you will know my identity sooner or later, but it will definitely not be now."
"I will definitely give you a big surprise when the time comes~"
These old guys seem to like to mistake frights for surprises. I wonder if this is bad for the heart health of young people.
I hope Xiao Hei doesn’t blurt out something like “Actually, I’m Gu Sheng, but I encountered a disaster and became a man”, that would really scare people to death.
Seeing that Xiao Hei was unmoved by anything and was not susceptible to fire or water, Gu Sanqiu had no choice but to return home first. He had to figure out what Nashida meant by what she had said to him before she left.
Wisdom lies in the heart, which sounds a bit like "The sacred mountain is in the heart, why look for it elsewhere?"
Is there something I want?
What I want is definitely strength. In other words, apart from the Black Will, a means of amplification that can be identified as super dangerous at a glance, is there any potential that I have not tapped?
Why are all these big guys like riddlers? Can't they give me some normal vernacular, preferably the kind that explains the source and operation method clearly.
"Buddha has mercy on me."
Gu Sanqiu put his palms together, but nothing happened, just like the splash of water by the Carp King.
Well, it turns out that it’s not that easy to figure out.
Gu Sanqiu went home and started solving the problems, while Xiao Hei ran to find Zhongli. He had slept in Jingshan Palace for several days, and he had no intention of returning to Guiliyuan to continue sleeping.
"Strange old man, here I come."
Xiao Hei sat down opposite Zhongli carelessly, picked up the pastries on the table and started eating. He wolfed down the food like a starving person who had just escaped.
"Eat slowly, no one is going to snatch it from you."
Zhongli poured a cup of tea for Xiao Hei and said, "The one who was going to compete with you has returned to Mondstadt. How do you feel about that?"
"Very good. It would be even better if I have the opportunity to go to Jingshan Palace for recuperation in the future. That place is much better than any health resort or paradise."
"That is nature, the habitat of the God of Wisdom. Even if it is just a little bit of its aura and charm, it will definitely be of great benefit to those who can sense it."
Zhongli's eyes were calm: "So, you didn't do anything weird."
Xiao Hei puffed out his chest proudly: "I am very obedient and I definitely did not destroy the house in Jingshan Palace!"
Zhongli smiled softly : "You know that's not what I'm talking about."
Xiao Hei hesitated for a moment and said, "No, although I really want to use the power of the World Tree to find the old saint, after all, he has done me a favor and even specially prepared a room for me to sleep in his home."
"Although I am mentally ill, I would never do such an ungrateful thing."
Zhongli nodded: "It's a good thing that there is none. Even with your strength, it is not so easy to activate the power of the World Tree. It is too dangerous."
"So, how much information did you find about the last incident?"
"No, even in the classics below, there is no record of the Devil God's Dharma."
Xiao Hei shook his head: "I did see a few with similar meanings, but they were all heavenly messengers placing the power in a certain object, a bit like the Emperor Talisman that you, old man, personally infused with power."
