N-A-A Chapter 807 Flower God Birthday Festival (8)
Chapter 807 Flower God Birthday Festival (8)
"If you attend as a disciple of the Sword Immortal, then you will indeed be able to represent Guili Ji." Ying stared at Yuan Xi, a hint of approval flashed in his eyes, and nodded slightly, with a thoughtful tone in his voice.
Paimon nodded vigorously, his hands on his hips, and said seriously, "After all, Senior Mo Li and Jun Bai are sworn brothers! In that case, Yuan Xi's status is on par with Gan Yu's. They are both highly trusted representatives!"
Yuan Xi, blushing from the praise, quickly waved her hands, her ears trembling slightly, her voice as soft as petals in the wind: "No, no... How dare I compare myself to Sister Ganyu? I really don't deserve it..."
Gan Yu smiled softly, like moonlight falling on the lake. She reached out and gently rubbed Yuan Xi's soft hair, her tone gentle but firm:
"Don't be too modest. I know Xuanjian well. Since he's confident in letting you come, he must be extremely confident in your character and abilities."
This heartwarming scene fell into the eyes of a little guy, whose face suddenly puffed up and a hint of grievance flashed in his eyes.
So, Yiya took small steps forward, timidly took Ganyu's other hand, raised her little face, and said in a vague but coquettish voice:
"Sister, sister...I, I want one too..."
Gan Yu was stunned at first, but then her eyes suddenly lit up and widened in surprise: "Little Yiya? You can talk now? That's great! Senior will definitely be very happy if he knows!"
"I'm not quite... yet..."
Yiya tried hard to pronounce the words, her little mouth slightly pouted, her words were intermittent, but she was able to clearly convey her feelings.
"It's okay, it's okay." Gan Yu comforted softly, her eyes full of doting. "Being able to say such words is already very remarkable for a little baby who has just learned to speak."
She suddenly remembered something, smiled, raised her hand, and gently placed it on Yiya's snow-soft hair, carefully smoothing his messy hair, her movements as gentle as if she was treating the most precious treasure.
【Ganyu is so gentle.】
Why did I feel like Ganyu was Iya's mother for a moment? But Iya's mother is clearly Miss Xinwu (doge)?
I strongly agree to let Miss Xinwu be Yiya's mother.
[Here I have a reasonable suspicion that Ganyu does have the idea of becoming Iya's mother. I think her feelings for Baige are not pure.]
"How can I be so naive? After all, I used to be their food. Shouldn't I find a way to get revenge? I think I can achieve such revenge by teaching Bai Ge's son a lesson."
[Making him do chores, spanking his cubs, and not allowing him to go to bed as punishment! Ganyu's dream form of revenge (confidence.jpg)]
[You Baigan faction are truly omnipresent. You've even found an angle to intrude. I, the Zhongbai faction, must also take action!]
"But Ganyu..."
Paimon, still a little confused, tilted his head and asked, "Your status is certainly enough to represent Liyue Harbor, but why did you come of all people? Logically, shouldn't Ningguang come in person, or at least Keqing come?"
Ganyu gently stood up and shrugged slightly, her tone gentle but somewhat helpless: "Ningguang is as busy as Xuanjian, and the operation of Liyue Harbor cannot be separated from her.
"If she's gone for too long, the order in Liyue Harbor might be disrupted. As for Keqing... she originally intended to come in person."
"But... after Keqing learned that Senior had personally signed her limited edition Marshal clay figurine, she gave me this mission without hesitation."
This is not difficult to understand -
After all, Keqing is Jun Bai's secret fanatical admirer. A collection signed by the Marshal himself is enough to make her willingly give up her position.
But there is still a problem——
Ying frowned, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes: "But why did Jun Bai specifically assign you to participate in the Flower God's Birthday Festival?"
As soon as this topic was mentioned, Ganyu's expression suddenly became subtle, and even the tips of her ears turned a faint red.
Yuan Xi, who was standing nearby, chuckled and said with a meaningful smile on her lips: "Because, Sister Ganyu has been working overtime recently and was discovered by the Marshal again."
"So the Marshal simply issued an order, forcing Sister Ganyu to rest on Xumi under the pretext of being sent on an important diplomatic mission."
Gan Yu turned and glared at Yuan Xi, her tone tinged with anger: "Yuan Xi! Didn't we agree not to mention this?"
Yuan Xi raised her hands in a mock gesture of surrender, her smile undiminished. "Sister Ganyu, you can't blame me for this—this is something the Marshal specifically instructed me to do."
"He said that if he met you, the traveler sisters, at the Flower Goddess Festival, he would tell you the truth."
Hearing these words coming from Jun Bai's mouth, Gan Yu immediately lost her temper. She could only lower her hands helplessly and sighed resignedly.
——Yes, this is very consistent with Jun Bai’s style.
He would respect Ganyu's silent dedication and hard work, but he would not allow her to overwork.
So from time to time, he would use this considerate yet slightly mischievous way to make her stop and take a breath.
It's like exposing her dark history in front of her friends, making her feel embarrassed... Jun Bai has used this kind of gentle and cunning trick before.
At this time, Dina Zedai behind everyone opened her mouth slightly, her eyes full of disbelief, staring blankly at Ying and her companions.
Although she had never met Gan Yu and Yuan Xi, she was not unfamiliar with the names that were frequently mentioned in the conversation just now - those were all influential figures who only existed in rumors and classics.
Ningguang, one of the Seven Stars of Liyue Harbor, has taken over the government since the death of the Rock God Morax and has become one of the core figures in charge of Liyue's political affairs.
Keqing, one of the seven stars of Liyue Harbor, is extremely talented and decisive. She works shoulder to shoulder with Ningguang to support the operation of Liyue Harbor, a major commercial port.
Xuanjian is the ruler of Ziwei Star in Guiliji, personally appointed by one of the three gods of Liyue. He controls the lifeline of the region and his reputation spreads far and wide among the mountains and seas.
What is even more shocking is that the "Marshal" who was mentioned lightly by everyone——
It is very likely that he is the supreme commander of the Thousand Rocks Army, one of the Three Gods of Liyue, the Marshal Tianfeng who personally appointed Ziweixing and was feared by all!
These legendary figures, who are usually only heard of but never seen, suddenly appear one by one as if they were at home during the conversations of Ying and his group.
The tone was casual and unrestrained, revealing an unusual intimacy - if they were not close friends, it would be impossible to call each other by their names so freely.
Dina Zedai's heart was filled with turmoil, and her steps couldn't help but stop.
What kind of hidden and surprising group of distinguished guests did she bring with her as they strolled through the Flower Goddess’ Birthday Festival?
At this moment, Ganyu, who was greeting Ying and her group cordially, suddenly frowned slightly, her nose twitched slightly, and a hint of imperceptible doubt flashed across her eyes.
She then looked at Dina Zedai who was standing quietly beside her, and asked in a gentle but cautious tone:
"Is this young lady... your friend?"
Paimon was surprised to realize that they had inadvertently left Dina Zedai behind. He quickly turned around to make amends and introduced her with a smile, "Ah! Ganyu, this is Dina Zedai, one of the key planners of the Flower Goddess' Birthday Festival and our new friend. She's showing us around the festival!"
"Dina Zedai, this is Ganyu, and this is Yuanxi. They are all close friends we met in Liyue."
Dina Zedai bowed slightly, greeting with the elegant courtesy unique to Xumi nobles, her voice as clear as a spring: "Ms. Ganyu, Mr. Yuanxi, I am Dina Zedai, nice to meet you."
"Oh~" Ganyu nodded slightly, but her eyes did not move away.
After a moment, her expression froze slightly, and she finally spoke, "Ms. Dina Zedai, nice to meet you. With all due respect... I'd like to ask if you've had any contact with a Mr. Ming Yuan recently?"
Dina Zedai was startled when she heard this, and replied with a hint of surprise:
"You mean... Doctor Ming Yuan? He's my attending physician. Do you know him?"
Before she finished speaking, her gaze inadvertently fell on Ganyu's head - the pair of dark red horns with smooth lines, shining with a warm luster in the sunlight.
My heart suddenly shook.
Doctor Mingyuan... doesn't he also have a pair of pure white antlers?
Though their forms and colors differed, their transcendental characteristics remained identical. Could there be a connection between the two? Could they be of the same race?
"It's more than just acquaintance..." Gan Yu whispered, her expression complex, as if a thousand words were hidden in her eyes. She looked up and said solemnly, "If you see Mr. Mingyuan next time, could you please convey a message for me?"
"Please speak." Dina Zedai said seriously, and she was already convinced in her heart that the person in front of her was definitely not an ordinary acquaintance.
Gan Yu took a deep breath and said in a soft but firm voice:
"Please tell him that what happened back then was not his fault. We... are all waiting for him to come back."
The evening breeze blows, and the lanterns sway, as if carrying these words away into the distance.
Dina Zedai nodded solemnly: "I will definitely pass it on."
[Oh wow, Ganyu knows Mingyuan? ]
【As both of us are immortals, it would be hard not to know each other.】
[This retelling of the sentence sounds like it has a story.]
[A Liyue immortal works as a teacher and doctor in Xumi. Without a story, who would believe it?]
[Frankly speaking, it's really funny that Brother Bai asked Yuan Xi to actively say bad things about Gan Yu~]
Everyone exchanged greetings again, and the atmosphere was harmonious when suddenly an abrupt noise broke the silence.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Yiya's cheeks slightly red. She covered her lower abdomen with a bit of embarrassment and said in an awkward voice: "I got up a little early. I didn't have breakfast..."
Due to his unique habits, he always wakes up earlier than Ying and Paimon, so he stays hungry longer and feels particularly hungry.
Therefore, although Ying and Paimon were not hungry at the moment, he was already starving, which caused his stomach to rumble constantly, as if silently expressing his grievances.
