"Well, although the meal is not exactly what I expected, it's still pretty good."
The black-robed cat showed its sharp claws and began to dig out its teeth, then burped quite comfortably.
Gu Sanqiu was silent. From a cat's point of view, this guy's height and weight were completely over the standard.
But from a human perspective, maybe he is just a well-proportioned and thin person?
"I'm very satisfied with this late-night snack. Tell me, if you have any questions about your cultivation, you can ask me."
The black-robed cat smiled and said: "Of course, if you want me to pay, forget it. After all, looking at me like this, I must be a poor cat."
"Well, if you want to calculate the money, in addition to the basic labor costs and food ingredients costs, there are also overnight subsidies, mental compensation fees, etc. The amount is indeed a lot."
The black-robed cat's expression froze.
Are you really planning to ask for money?
Where did all these weird money-collecting projects come from!
Not all people in Liyue are like this these days, right?
"Well, there's another thing I'm more interested in."
Gu Sanqiu looked at the cat in front of him thoughtfully: "If you can't come to my Gu family, then you usually go somewhere for food and accommodation."
"Um?"
Looking at the black-robed cat who was suddenly stunned, Gu Sanqiu frowned slightly and began to use his imagination.
"Well, the most common and reasonable one is that you will go to various places with a normal cat body to look cute, or simply sneak into the kitchen to get some?"
"Anyway, with your skills, doing these things can only be said to be an extremely simple project."
"Hey, hey, hey, don't drop the price as much as I think, okay?"
The black-robed cat flashed his paws at Gu Sanqiu: "I am a member of the immortals, so how could I do what ordinary kittens do!"
"Well, that makes sense."
Gu Sanqiu nodded in agreement: "So, are you going to the strategic grain reserve in Liyue Port, or the chefs of those wealthy families to find something to eat? Those guys should barely meet your status."
"I'm not talking about the object of foraging, but the act itself, bastard!"
The black-robed cat's claws flashed out in anger, and he lightly scratched Gu Sanqiu's head twice.
"Why are the minds of this generation of Fengxiang people like this? Don't you think the remarks just made are outrageous!"
"Disrespect the Immortal Master!"
Gu Sanqiu nodded seriously: "That's true. Strictly speaking, Liyue Port has lost respect for these things."
"In other words, many people think that this is just a fictitious thing, and they prefer the tangible mola to these."
The black-robed cat was stunned for a moment, then shook his head in a depressed tone: "Maybe you are right, now is no longer the time for us guys."
"In this era, you would probably be considered part of feudal superstition?"
Gu Sanqiu smiled: "For example, the two generations of young people who come from outside to work in Liyue Port basically think that the Fengxiang people are just fortune tellers and money scammers."
"A fortune teller who cheats money?"
The black-robed cat laughed: "This is a bit interesting, but this is also the choice of the times. Maybe it is time for us existences to retreat behind the scenes."
"Actually, there is another way, the simplest and crudest way, which can effectively remind all the people of your contribution."
"What?"
The black-robed cat became energetic. Although everyone said that he recognized him, but at their level of existence, how could there be someone who recognized him casually? Who is not the type with extremely strong mental strength?
"A great disaster."
The corner of Gu Sanqiu's mouth curled up in a subtle arc: "As long as there is a huge disaster and human power cannot solve it, they will pray for the existence that can solve it to come forward."
"And when that time comes, it will be the time for you to come forward."
"Kid, are you really an incense devotee?"
The black-robed cat stared at Gu Sanqiu with cold eyes: "I don't understand why you are a descendant of the Fengxiang people."
"The emperor has no intention of competing, but he knows the suffering of the common people, so he leads our immortal family to clean up all directions, just to seek peace of all things, and now you actually hope for a huge disaster?"
"You, do you know what you are talking about?"
"I know."
Gu Sanqiu shrugged: "From the perspective of an immortal, this method is the fastest and most useful."
"I am a human being, and I naturally know where the bad nature of human beings lies."
"Today's invitation ceremony has become a grand business ceremony in a certain sense. It was Quan Liyue's carnival moment, and it was also a time for greedy humans like us to seek more profits."
"But before that, what exactly does the Immortal Dian Yi do?"
Gu Sanqiu's tone was serious: "The emperor sent down the oracle to guide the direction, remember the past, and pave the way to the future. This is not only to be grateful for the hard-won peace, but also to remember the immortal family and soldiers who sacrificed in the Demon God War."
"The great cauldron is filled with smoke and dust. It is the fragrance offered by the people of Liyue to their ancestors, and it is also a messenger of peace and happiness."
"Now, that's not the case anymore."
"You see the changes of the times, you see the lights of thousands of families slowly flourishing in Liyue, and you lament that there is no place for more immortal families in the world of mortals."
"And people's hearts are constantly changing. Maybe you don't think about this, or you don't mention it on purpose."
"Your views are one-sided and even paranoid."
"I know that my views are very paranoid, even radical, so I will not interfere in any formal affairs in Liyue."
Gu Sanqiu's tone became calmer: "I believe in the brilliance of human nature, but I also believe that the brilliance of human nature can easily be buried by the troubles and hardships of the world of mortals."
"My Gu family obeyed the emperor's orders and called on the people of Xuanmen to come down the mountain and obey the orders. It was because they believed in the light of my human race."
"But now, Xuanmen is still the same, and the Gu family has become the Fengxiang lineage it is today, and Liyue is gradually reviving, becoming the land of thousands of ships and sails it is today."
"We can guard the incense of the gods, but we cannot guard the troubled hearts of the people."
Gu Sanqiu took a deep look at the black-robed cat, and then bowed to him quite solemnly.
"This is a prosperous era, but it is also a fragile era, because the two major groups in Liyue since ancient times seem to have reached a point of estrangement and opposition in this era."
"This junior is just speaking out of his feelings. Senior please don't be offended by some disrespectful remarks."
"What you just said seems to be considered disrespectful."
The black-robed cat sighed, then gently raised his hand, and a flash of light was thrown in front of Gu Sanqiu.
"This is today's meal money and one night's stay. I'm not in the mood to give you any advice. Junior, go to bed early. Thinking about so many things is not what you should do at your age."
"To witness the world of mortals, to experience prosperity..."
The words gradually faded away, and the figure of the black-robed cat disappeared. What was left to Gu Sanqiu was only the strange smell that filled the courtyard, and the shining flowers in the night.
"Witness the world of mortals and experience prosperity..."
Gu Sanqiu silently raised his head, looking at the bright and clear starry sky in Teyvat, and couldn't help but tighten the Eye of God around his waist.
