Chapter 995: The Red Envelope Finally Delivered
The Fire God said softly: "You are my subordinate, so I am telling you this."
"Don't worry, sir. Before I decide whether to do that thing, I will complete my work conscientiously and will never be careless in any way."
Yu Jian smiled and said, "If that time really comes, I'm sure the world will have already made me lose this job."
"The world is changing drastically, but those people of the Fatui see it as an opportunity to do something great."
The flame flickered a few times, as if because of some fluctuations in his mind.
"By that time, there really is no need to continue working."
"Survival is everything."
…
Early the next morning, Gu Sanqiu left Mond and thought of a question on his way back to Liyuan.
It is unclear where Xiao Hei is hiding. It is a bit strange that he does not even reveal any trace.
Except for the main road, the entire Guili Plain has basically been visited by members of the Treasure Stealing Group and the advance team of the Fatui.
Could it be that someone discovered Xiao Hei, but lost the opportunity to report the news afterwards ?
Simply put, life was lost.
That kid wouldn't be that murderous.
Thinking about why the other party didn't live in such a good place but had to hide in a place like Guiliyuan, Gu Sanqiu suddenly became silent.
It’s hard to say.
Gu Sanqiu glanced up at the sky, estimated the time, and then landed and walked towards a teahouse in Liyue Harbor.
The time should be correct. Now should be the time for dad to do morning exercises, or take an early morning walk and enjoy breakfast. In a while, we should reach the lotus pond in front of Bubulu.
Gu Sanqiu accurately blocked Emperor Xianyou's stroll, and the two of them walked towards a secluded corner in tacit understanding.
Gu Sanqiu stretched out his right hand with five fingers spread out, and looked at Zhongli with a smile.
"What do you want to do?"
Gu Sanqiu raised his eyebrows: "Dad, you haven't forgotten, have you, you and Uncle Ruo Tuo, still have something very important that you haven't given me."
Zhongli:?
Did he and Ruota promise this kid anything?
That's not right. Logically speaking, if I really promised this little lunatic something, I would never forget it.
God knows what kind of trouble the opponent can cause you with his destructive power, so Zhongli is very confident in his memory in this regard.
So what exactly is going on?
Gu Sanqiu's eyes widened. "Red envelope, my red envelope, didn't you and Master Ruo Tuo agree to give me a big red envelope? It's been so long since the Lantern Festival, why is there no news at all?"
"I seriously doubt that you have ever thought about this at all!"
Zhongli: ...
Oh, this matter, if Gu Sanqiu hadn’t mentioned it, he would have really forgotten it.
"Ahem, your father has not forgotten this matter, but I have never intended to tell you because I consider your strength to be lacking."
Gu Sanqiu narrowed his eyes: "Really?"
He always felt like he was being fooled, and suspected that his father was treating him like a fool.
"Of course it's true. Would I lie to you?"
Zhongli said seriously, "I didn't tell you this before because your fate star phenomenon has just taken shape and needs time to settle. Now is the time."
Gu Sanqiu believed this reason for the time being: "Then what is my red envelope?"
Zhongli smiled slightly: "Family property."
"Now that you are able to stand firm in the entire continent, as the head of the Gu family, it is time for you to take over some of the family assets that are not worth seeing."
Gu Sanqiu:?
Three days later——
"Dad, I just learned something from Dotore when I went to Mond this time. It seems that the Fatui have a way to increase their combat power to become divine."
Gu Sanqiu walked behind Zhongli and said, "Then the question is, do we in Liyue have such a method? If so, can you let me use it?"
"What method can the Fatui use to increase their strength to the level of a demon god?"
Zhongli was slightly startled: "Zhidong's method may not be complete, but it should really exist."
"This kind of profound Taoism does exist in Liyue, but this is the only thing I cannot tell you."
Zhongli said: "When you are able to connect to the constellation and fully unleash the power of the destiny star, I will tell you the method."
"Even with your current strength, rashly engaging in that method will only bring problems and no benefits."
Zhongli shook his head: "The success rate of that method is too low. Otherwise, given the Queen's personality, she would have used the Spring and Autumn style to create a name and break down the process so that all troops could practice it, instead of just passing it on to the executive officers."
"From a common sense perspective, even raising Gu cannot be considered a cruel method compared to that method."
Gu Sanqiu seemed to be thinking: "Is our own kind of Taoism also dangerous?"
"Comparatively speaking, it's not that dangerous, but in terms of the speed of progress, it's much slower than them."
"One is speed, the other is stability. It's hard to have both in this world."
Gu Sanqiu understood: "No wonder the queen chose the former. I heard that your wallet has not reached a certain standard. This must be what you are referring to."
My wallet?
What a strange metaphor.
Zhongli shook his head: "Dartalia, his situation is more special. If he wants to go further, he needs to go through another tribulation."
"You once shone the Great Sun's Radiance on him, so you should have discovered the problem. I taught him the method of transformation as compensation for him paying the bill for me."
Gu Sanqiu was stunned: "Method of transformation, what method of transformation?"
"It's about consolidating the foundation and reshaping itself from the most basic means. You can also think of it as a creature that has cocooned itself many times and then struggled to break out of the cocoon."
Zhongli said: "In the legends of the world, even a tiny insect can become a dragon after nine transformations. The dragon mentioned here is a symbol, meaning a powerful creature, and has little to do with the real dragon."
"Tartaria invites you to go with her. Even I am not sure what is hidden in that place. Please be careful."
Gu Sanqiu nodded: "Don't worry, there is no rush anyway. Yaya still has a long way to go before she can catch up with me."
"Speaking of which, Dad, you should be able to tell me where to go now, and what exactly is this family property you are talking about."
Gu Sanqiu remembered the "Fengyan Treasure Map" he saw in Yuanxia Palace last time, and began to doubt the real purpose of this operation.
"Once upon a time, you and Xiao provoked a riot of evil spirits and gathered them together to destroy them. Do you remember?"
Gu Sanqiu recalled seriously: "It was quite a long time ago. At that time, let alone being an ancient, I wasn't even an immortal."
Zhongli asked: "Then do you remember whose name those evil gods and demon gods shouted after they sensed your power?"
"Gu Sheng?"
"That's right."
Zhongli said calmly, "Once, Gu Sheng joked with me that he wanted to build a place with the remnants of the demon god as the main body to show the world Morax's civil and military achievements."
"That place doesn't exist, it's just hidden from the world."
“That’s the purpose of our trip.”
