Before long, unable to bear the solitude any longer, Cloud Retainer began recounting tales once more.
"In those days, when this immortal joined the Emperor's campaign, it was truly..."
After his lengthy discourse, Cloud Retainer successfully veered the perception of the Emperor far off course.
"What?! The Emperor couldn't afford meals!"
"What?! The Emperor freeloaded everywhere!"
"What?! The Emperor ate discarded scraps!"
***
With a slight smile, Cloud Retainer acknowledged that being alone in her cave dwelling was indeed lonely. Seeing so many people at once made it hard to resist sharing some stories.
She recounted several amusing anecdotes involving other Adepti, capturing everyone's attention effortlessly. After all, who doesn't enjoy listening to gossip about others?
"Give this immortal a follow, and I'll share tales of Ganyu, Liyue's enigmatic secretary, from her childhood!" Cloud Retainer announced, preparing to dive into her narrative.
"You mean the Yuehai Pavilion secretary with horns? Bring it on!"
"Hurry up! Here's a gift for you!"
While Cloud Retainer didn't particularly care for Mora, these virtual gifts brought her immense satisfaction. Times had changed; people no longer held Adepti in such high reverence as before.

As Ganyu watched Cloud Retainer on her screen, her face instantly flushed red. She had intended to unwind for a moment but unexpectedly stumbled upon Cloud Retainer's live stream.
Now, she felt anything but relaxed, growing even more anxious instead. She knew her master's character all too well.
In the past, whenever her master encountered someone, she would recount stories from Ganyu's childhood, leaving Ganyu embarrassed to face other Adepti.
However, when she heard Cloud Retainer start telling tales about the Emperor, she let out a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't about her, she still enjoyed listening.
But soon, Ganyu sensed that things were taking a turn for the worse.
Sure enough, Cloud Retainer eventually circled back to her anecdotes. If all of Liyue found out about her childhood antics, she'd be mortified beyond belief!
Ganyu gently touched one of her horns, her cheeks crimson with embarrassment.
Quickly regaining her composure, albeit feeling uneasy, she tapped the report button with determination.
Almost immediately, her phone prompted, "Please confirm if this user is violating guidelines!"
Without hesitation, Ganyu marked it as a violation. Hmm... Considering she was an administrator, reporting herself probably didn't count as misconduct, right?
***
"Since you're so eager to hear it, this immortal will share some tales and enlighten you about our ways!" With that, Cloud Retainer began her story.
"When Ganyu was young, she was quite chubby, round and plump..."
Before Cloud Retainer could finish, she noticed her live stream had been abruptly shut down. Confused, she quickly checked for any notifications.
"Due to inappropriate content, your live stream has been suspended once. Please adhere to guidelines in future broadcasts!"
Feeling indignant, Cloud Retainer found the abrupt interruption deeply unsatisfying. After a moment of hesitation, growing increasingly angry, she picked up her phone and immediately called Ganyu.
***
"Don't judge me just because I'm a sheep..." Ganyu's phone rang, startling her; she looked guiltily around.
"Hello, Master..." Ganyu timidly answered, checking the caller ID. Had her little mischief been discovered?
"Ganyu, dear, what are you up to? Have you eaten yet?" Cloud Retainer asked warmly, her voice carrying a hint of pride as she reflected on her accomplished disciple.
"I-I'm not doing anything... Just working!" Ganyu blushed, rarely lying; if Cloud Retainer were there, she'd easily see through it.
"You haven't visited your master lately. Is work keeping you busy? Remember, I've told you before, sometimes it's okay to step away from work..." Once Cloud Retainer started talking, she seldom stopped.
"Mm-hmm..." Ganyu nodded, her master's penchant for lecturing being one of the main reasons she chose to descend the mountain and serve as Liyue's secretary...
"Oh, do you remember when you were young, so chubby and cute, right before descending the mountain..." Cloud Retainer reminisced about Ganyu's childhood.
"Cough, Master..." Ganyu gently interrupted, seemingly trying to resist further reminiscing.
"All right, all right. You're grown now; I won't nag you anymore. Oh, by the way, did you find that job for your junior sister yet?" Cloud Retainer asked, turning her gaze towards Shenhe nearby.
Although Shenhe practiced cultivation, she hadn't ascended to become an Adeptus yet. Returning to human society would likely be better for her.
"Um... Yes, I've found one, but I'm not sure if Junior sister is willing..." Ganyu hesitated momentarily before responding.
She had already contacted Yun Jin, who agreed to offer Shenhe a position in their theater troupe. Upon hearing about Shenhe's experiences, Yun Jin even planned to adapt them into a new play.
"That's good. When your junior sister comes down from the mountain, make sure to spend more time looking after her!" Cloud Retainer advised, feeling somewhat concerned as this child had lived with her on the mountain all along.
"Yes, of course!" Ganyu nodded, knowing well that she always brought gifts for her junior sister whenever returning to the mountain.
"Hmm, excellent. By the way, earlier I tried using that thing called 'mobile streaming,' and many people could see me. Did you catch it?" Cloud Retainer finally remembered her initial purpose for calling.
"N-no...I didn't see it, I was busy working!" Ganyu replied, blushing slightly, her voice sounding less confident...
"Actually, Master, your live stream got banned. Could you take a look and see why?" As Cloud Retainer spoke, she read aloud the message displayed on her screen for Ganyu's benefit.
Ganyu hesitated briefly before explaining, after a moment of silence, "Master, someone reported your stream, leading to its ban. It might have contained prohibited content."
"Prohibited content? Preposterous! How dare those mortals impose rules upon Adepti! I'll summon my fellow immortals right away..." Cloud Retainer exclaimed indignantly.
"Wait, Master..." Ganyu hastily called out to stop her, then explained, "Um... Master, let me help unban your stream momentarily. However, since I am a Liyue secretary, I must maintain a good image. So during the next broadcast, please refrain from mentioning anything about me..." She stammered, fabricating a lie on the spot.
"I see. Your humble master is not unreasonable! Go ahead and unban it; I'll share stories about your junior sister instead—would that be acceptable?" After a brief pause, Cloud Retainer responded.
Beside her, Shenhe froze instantly. Initially expecting to enjoy some juicy gossip, she now found herself potentially becoming the subject of scrutiny.
Ganyu pondered for a moment, wavering between herself and her junior sister. Ultimately, she decided to let her junior sister bear the brunt—it wasn't as if many people knew her anyway...
