Capítulo 79: Chapter 79
After her little junior disciple left, Ganyu once again felt aimless.
Usually when she returned home, her junior disciple would call out "Senior Sister," or her junior sister would announce that dinner was ready.
After so many years in Liyue Harbor, Ganyu finally felt like she had found a place to belong.
But now that both her junior disciple and junior sister had gone away, Ganyu felt lonely again.
And so, she once again entered her overtime work mode.
Sometimes she would go into the Serenitea Pot to look at the home she shared with her junior disciple, and help tidy up his things while she was there.
Yesterday, after pulling another all-nighter at work, Ningguang had forced Ganyu to take a vacation.
With no other choice, she could only go rest in Jiang Ning's Serenitea Pot.
However, while sleeping, she was suddenly awakened by noises from outside.
Still somewhat dazed, she rubbed her eyes. Upon fully awakening, she felt overjoyed.
Could it be that her junior disciple had returned to the Serenitea Pot?
Unfortunately, they could only meet inside the Serenitea Pot. Ganyu thought about finding Madam Ping later to see if there was a way she could use the Serenitea Pot and travel permit to go to her junior disciple's side. Then, traveling daily between Liyue and Mondstadt would be another form of reunion, wouldn't it?
After tidying herself up, Ganyu opened the door only to find an unfamiliar young woman.
Ganyu looked down from upstairs at Amber, while Amber looked up at Ganyu with confusion. The two stood in wordless silence.
Instinctively, Ganyu wondered if her junior disciple's Serenitea Pot had been invaded.
Her first thought was to pull out her Amos' Bow and give the intruder a taste of its power.
But she quickly caught herself and asked, "Are you... my junior disciple's guest?"
Amber was startled: "Huh?"
Ganyu clarified: "I mean, Jiang Ning."
Amber quickly nodded: "Yes..."
At this moment, Jiang Ning walked over, and upon seeing Ganyu, he was delighted:
"Senior Sister, you're not at work?"
Ganyu replied: "No, I'm on vacation today..."
Jiang Ning said: "Come downstairs, I have two friends to introduce to you."
Ganyu nodded slightly and walked down.
After mutual introductions, Ganyu said to Eula: "Thank you, Miss Eula. That child Yanfei can indeed be quite reckless sometimes. Thank you for saving her."
Eula replied: "It's- it's nothing. This is my duty as a Knight of Favonius."
Facing Ganyu, Eula felt somewhat nervous. She knew the identity of the person before her - in terms of status, she was even higher than Grand Master Jean.
The Chief Secretary of Liyue, second only to the Geo Archon in Liyue Harbor - this wasn't just empty words.
Ganyu smiled and said: "There's no need to be so formal, Miss Eula. Please take care of Jiang Ning for me."
Amber said: "Hehe, Jiang Ning has helped us quite a lot too!"
Ganyu was surprised: "Oh?"
Jiang Ning said: "Oh right, Senior Sister, I have something here for you to give to Sister Ningguang."
Saying this, he handed Ganyu the inspection reports for Springvale. There were no specific scores written on them, just three large characters stating "Fail."
Ganyu took them and glanced at them, not thinking too much about it, and just nodded: "Alright."
It seemed the people of Springvale must have offended her junior disciple...
But Ganyu went along with Jiang Ning's intentions. If they had managed to anger her usually gentle junior disciple, there must be a reason.
Eula opened her mouth to speak but ultimately remained silent.
Jiang Ning was partly helping her get revenge, and partly because how they conducted their inspections was their internal matter.
Whether officially or personally, Eula had no right to question it.
"By the way, Sister Ganyu, have you been eating properly these past few days? And no overtime or staying up late, have you been following those rules?"
Jiang Ning suddenly asked.
Ganyu's eyes immediately began to wander, looking somewhat guilty.
"I- I have been following them..."
Seeing Ganyu's reaction, Jiang Ning knew she definitely hadn't been following the rules.
"Eula, could you please make an extra portion of food?"
Jiang Ning asked.
Eula nodded: "Sure, I actually made a bit extra anyway."
Shortly after, Eula brought the dishes to the table.
"Barbatos Ratatouille and my special Moon Pie - these are my specialties." Eula crossed her arms, looking quite confident.
"Then I must try them properly."
Jiang Ning nodded and began tasting.
Everyone was satisfied with the meal. Eula's skills, honed from frequent patrols in the wild, were impressive.
Her culinary skills were undeniable.
And the Moon Pie had its own unique character.
More accurately, it could be called a "Surge Pie."
This should count as one of the special dishes from the game, right?
"Eula's cooking is as good as ever, I'm so full."
Amber was completely satisfied.
Jiang Ning joked: "If you ever can't stay in Mondstadt anymore, you could come be a chef in Liyue."
Eula knew Jiang Ning was joking and said: "Hmph, praising my cooking skills without permission... I'll remember this grudge. If what you say comes true, I'll have to come to Liyue to seek my revenge."
Jiang Ning replied: "You're welcome."
Ganyu was somewhat confused. Was this some special way her junior disciple communicated with them?
Strangely, Ganyu had a feeling that she might be out of touch with the times.
"Senior Sister, later could you ask Madam Ping if it's possible to use the travel permit and Serenitea Pot to create a small teleport waypoint?"
"That way, if Sister Ganyu gets bored, you could come play in Mondstadt."
Ganyu smiled: "You had the same thought as me. It shouldn't be difficult - Madam Ping should be able to do it. I'll go find her later."
Amber was surprised: "There can be such convenient things? If this is really possible, then wouldn't anyone with a travel permit not have to worry about being killed? They could just teleport away when in danger."
Ganyu shook her head: "It's not that simple. First, this can only be used in a quiet environment. Second, it takes time to activate. In a life-threatening situation, that time would be enough for an enemy to kill you many times over."
Although Madam Ping hadn't created it yet, Ganyu could already think of some of its limitations.
This thing was created for convenience, not for strategic purposes.
"I see, I was being too simplistic." Amber looked somewhat sheepish.
"How much longer will you be staying in Mondstadt?"
Ganyu asked with concern.
"Hmm, probably for quite a while. Besides, things are quite chaotic in Mondstadt right now. The Fatui Harbinger has arrived, and I've already had a confrontation with her subordinates."
Jiang Ning said.
Ganyu's expression immediately turned cold: "The Fatui... they're truly becoming too arrogant. Feel free to take action, and if you can't handle it, just use the travel permit to call for me..."
If she couldn't handle it herself, she would call for Madam Ping.
Jiang Ning's face lit up: "Alright, Senior Sister!"
With Ganyu's words, Jiang Ning felt much more assured.
Ganyu's expression softened as she stroked Jiang Ning's white hair, speaking gently: "Having fun in Mondstadt is the most important thing. If you have any troubles, handle what you can, and for what you can't, you have your Senior Sister."
Jiang Ning nodded obediently: "Thank you, Senior Sister."
Ganyu chided playfully: "Why so formal? We are fellow disciples, and... family."
Jiang Ning also showed a warm smile.
He understood Senior Sister Ganyu's subtle intention. These words weren't just meant for him to hear, but also for Amber and Eula to relay to Grand Master Jean.
As break time ended, Jiang Ning and the others had to return to Mondstadt City.
As for Ganyu, she would go find Madam Ping to quickly modify the items. Afterward, she could make use of her vacation days to visit her junior disciple.
Ganyu was even considering using all her overtime compensation and vacation days accumulated over several hundred years.
She could stay with her junior disciple until they returned together.
...
Back in Mondstadt City, Eula and Amber temporarily parted ways with Jiang Ning.
The two of them had urgent matters to report to Grand Master Jean.
As for Jiang Ning, he went home to find his senior sister.
At the Knights of Favonius headquarters, Jean furrowed her brow.
Regarding what Eula and Amber had reported, she found it quite troublesome.
"See for yourselves."
Jean handed a document to Amber and Eula.
Upon reading it, both women's expressions changed, with Amber's face turning particularly red with anger.
"What's this? How dare they turn this around on us? They were the ones bullying Eula first... and this isn't even what happened!"
The paper clearly stated that Eula Lawrence, colluding with Liyue, had damaged Mondstadt's interests, even causing Liyue to abandon business dealings with Springvale.
In short, everything was written as Eula's fault, and they even claimed that the person from Liyue was challenging Mondstadt's authority, demanding punishment.
Moreover, they insisted that someone should compensate for all the losses incurred.
Eula found it laughably absurd. She didn't care about herself, but what angered her was how they were so freely slandering someone she considered a friend.
"So what do you plan to do, Jean?"
Eula directly sat down in front of Jean, crossing her boot-clad legs.
Jean sighed: "I know we can't just believe one side of the story, but this matter is indeed quite troublesome."
This time, it felt like Jiang Ning had thoroughly trampled on the pride of those people in Springvale, and if not handled properly, it could easily incite public anger.
Thinking about this, Jean felt exhausted. He really knew how to cause trouble... and the problem was, she couldn't do anything about it.
From what Eula and Amber had heard from Secretary Ganyu today, it was clear that Jiang Ning was like a hornet's nest.
If Jiang Ning knew Jean's thoughts, he probably wouldn't care, and might even console her by saying:
There would be plenty more days like this in the future, and the Fatui alone would be enough to drive her crazy.
"I'll try to mediate... that's all I can do."
Jean had a headache. It was truly a tumultuous time - the Fatui situation wasn't even resolved yet, and now there was this Springvale incident.
"Alright, Eula, take some time to rest at home for now, but stay ready. I have a feeling the Fatui won't stay quiet."
"I've already sent Kaeya out, and Lisa... is also secretly monitoring the Fatui's movements..."
Jean said.
Eula nodded: "Understood, I'll be ready at any time."
