Chapter 415: Only in and out of the incense people
"Originally, if you didn't say so, I definitely wouldn't want it, but now that's not necessarily the case."
Abedo did not dwell on this issue.
"What are your plans next, and how long will you stay in Mondstadt this time?"
Gu Sanqiu leaned back on the chair: "It depends on the situation. If there is no big problem, I still hope to return to Liyue as soon as possible."
Except for Wendy's incident, the subsequent plot of Mondstadt is probably a fairly complete set of upgrades and monster-killing routines. It would be very time-consuming for Golden Retriever to visit the entire Mondstadt.
In addition, opening the teleportation anchor point was not as easy as imagined, so the time left for him was quite relaxed.
Hearing from Brother Mandrill that there is an abnormality in Liyue's earth veins, those idiot-like evil spirits seem to be showing up again. When he goes back, he has to consider whether to lead a team to clear the map again, just to hone the combat capabilities of the Qianyan Army.
.
Moreover, he still has to wait for the Ice and Fire brothers who are working for him in the snow mountain to bring back the information.
Gu Sanqiu scratched his head: "All in all, when I leave Mondstadt can only be determined based on the actual situation."
"Why."
Albedo suddenly spoke: "For you, Mondstadt is just a stop on your journey. There is absolutely no need for you to do anything more for this city."
"Even if you leave Mondstadt, disaster will come and cause huge damage, but this is not Liyue Port, why do you care so much?"
Gu Sanqiu tilted his mouth: "Listen to what you mean, do you want to know why I put so much effort into Mondstadt like I was taken advantage of?"
Abedo nodded and said: "Although there are some discrepancies in the wording, the core meaning is this."
Gu Sanqiu's lips curled up: "That's because Mondstadt has you, and you are the motivation for me to be willing to be taken advantage of."
?
Abedo stared at Gu Sanqiu: "I don't have any hobbies in that area, and judging from my observation of you, you probably don't have any hobbies in that area either."
Gu Sanqiu's mouth twisted in joy: "Then what if I hid it deeply before? If that's the case, did you make a mistake?"
Abedo was silent, then took a deep look at Gu Sanqiu.
"I think it's time to go. Going to bed too late is not good for your health."
Gu Sanqiu laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore, I'll tell you the real reason."
"When it comes to economic development, Liyue is actually the place with the best development in Teyvat."
Abedo agreed: "That's right, not only does it occupy a geographical advantage, but it also has the support of 'timing' like Emperor Yanwang, and finally it is unified with the 'harmony' of the people of Liyue."
"That's probably what it means, so there are quite a few nouveau riche in Liyue Port."
Gu Sanqiu spread his hands and said, "I'll tell you something interesting. In fact, many people are laughing at my family, or laughing at me, thinking that the Gu family is just someone who has been taken advantage of."
"Including the last trip to Mondstadt's secret realm, I was actually involved in many things in Liyue, and it was the kind of operation that took no money and asked for nothing in return."
"They wonder why the head of the Gu family is so cowardly. There are many who say that I am a money-splitting boy."
"You are obviously a descendant of a thousand-year-old family, why do you always do these thankless things? You don't have the domineering or arrogance of a thousand-year-old family at all."
"The reason is simple, because they are stupid."
Gu Sanqiu said unceremoniously: "A thousand-year-old family, the largest family in Liyue Port? This kind of title has nothing to do with my family. It's nothing more than what some people put over my family."
"Even if we return to Minlin, the Gu family is still the top being in the spiritual lineage. It has nothing to do with their identity or where they are."
"I do these things just for myself and the people I care about."
"For, Emperor Yanwang."
Gu Sanqiu sighed softly: "This is one of the negative effects of economic development. After everyone has a little spare money, it is easy to think about this and that. I feel that what I do and the weight shown by the Gu family are simply two extremes.
"
"In this world, demons and gods are rising together. Although I have no intention of competing, I know the suffering of the people. I only want to clean up the four directions and protect a corner of the floating world."
Gu Sanqiu said: "According to legend, that was the original contract of Liyue. Emperor Yan drove away the evil spirits and defeated the foreign demons, and Liyue was established."
"During this period, the former leader of Xuanmen obeyed the emperor's decree and led a line of practitioners down the mountain to eliminate demons and protect the Tao, or to protect the common people."
"The war between demons and gods is over, my family has resigned from the position of leader, and as an incense servant, I will stop in the mortal world and watch over Liyue."
"What I did was not cowardice, nor was I taking advantage of others, nor was I so cowardly that I didn't even have my own ideas."
"What has a thousand-year-old family inherited? The endless wealth, the knowledge shared selflessly, and the many weapons left behind by our ancestors."
When talking about this Gu Sanqiu, he is full of resentment. If someone could tell him that the Gu family had a main branch in the past, he would not stupidly think that the descendants of the Gu family must learn it all. It is simply a past that he cannot bear to look back on.
"Stick to the spirit, follow the contract made between the devil and the mortals thousands of years ago, and perform the duties of the Gu family. For Liyue and for the people I care about, I won't care no matter how ugly the idiots say."
"Because I am a Liyue incense devotee."
Gu Sanqiu shrugged: "Originally, my sister planned to teach the guy who said these things a lesson, but I said forget it. There is no benefit in punishing those guys who like to make comments about the nouveau riche."
"In other words, you can understand that their spiritual level is very low."
Abedo added: "It is better to establish a list and then send people to pay attention secretly, because judging from the trajectory of history, such guys are one of the easiest people to betray."
"Yes, that's what I had in mind."
Gu Sanqiu snapped his fingers: "What's the fun in dealing with them now? It's easy to give people a reason to talk. I'm not willing to do this kind of loss-making business."
Abedo said to Gu Sanqiu: "But you still didn't tell me the reason why you did this."
"Because when life meets life, new bonds will always be born."
Gu Sanqiu smiled and said, "I am very greedy and want everything."
"When you have no money, you will suppress your heart in order to survive, so you can only bury your desires deep in your heart."
"When you have a little money, you want to make up for your past, but you will find that you want everything, but the little money you have is still not enough."
"But I'm different. No matter whether I have money or not, what I want can never be lost forever."
Gu Sanqiu grinned: "I am so greedy that I can only go in and out, so my friend who is a Yuheng star asked me to hold an official position in the relevant department, but I refused."
"Either I will work so hard for Liyue until I collapse from exhaustion at my job, or I will become the most greedy person in Liyue in the past and present."
"As long as it's something I care about, even if it's a small toy, I'm not willing to let go. I'll chop off anyone who dares to break my fingers."
It turns out that this guy considers us a part of him that he cares about.
Abedo understood what Gu Sanqiu meant. He was indeed a greedy and domineering guy who treated others as people he cared about without authorization, and even had a protective desire that was close to private property.
But it makes people unable to feel any anger or disgust.
Abedo touched the mark on his neck.
Can even me, a non-human being, have such qualifications?
