Although she and Shen He were friends before, this change in their status still made her a little nervous.

Shen He said, "Hmm, call me sister."

"Huh?" Yura was taken aback.

Shen He continued, "Call me 'elder sister'."

For some reason, it carried a sense of oppressive power.

"Sister, older sister."

Yura obediently called out.

After all, she started learning before me, and she's also a bit older than me, so it's only right that I call her "sister".

"Okay, come with me."

Shen He left only one sentence and then led the way.

Yura was already used to Shen He's aloofness and poor communication skills, so she quickly followed behind him.

…………

"Master, it's time to eat."

Jiang Ning arrived at Xianyun's room, where there were tinkling sounds and the whirring of mechanical gears, but he did not see Xianyun.

"Master?" Jiang Ning asked again.

This was followed by some discontent from Xianyun:

"I told you, you don't need to bring me food. You really are... huh?"

Xianyun's words were abruptly cut off, and she immediately recognized whose voice it was.

Then, her voice became somewhat guilty:

"Um, Jiang Ning, I'm not hungry. It's alright if I skip this meal..."

Jiang Ning followed the sound and walked inside: "No, my senior sister already told me that Master hasn't been eating properly these past few days."

"Those two kids are really talkative..."

Xianyun muttered to himself.

Jiang Ning found Xianyun. Although Xianyun still looked beautiful, the surrounding scenery showed that she hadn't been out for a long time.

“Master, I’ve already told you that I still have to go out, why won’t you listen?”

Jiang Ning sighed and said.

Xianyun said, "I am an immortal, and I have long since abstained from grains. It's fine for me not to eat. Although you are my disciple, you shouldn't be too nosy."

That being said, Xianyun's demeanor seemed to suggest that he was afraid to face the situation, making excuses, and feeling guilty.

Jiang Ning said, "Okay then, Master, you don't need to eat anything during meals from now on."

Thinking of his young apprentice's culinary skills, Xianyun coughed and said, "Sometimes it's necessary to experience the simple pleasures of life..."

Jiang Ning said, "Alright, it's time to experience the joys of life. Master, dinner's ready."

"This immortal..."

Xianyun wanted to try a little harder; his invention was almost finished, and eating now would make him sleepy...

"master?"

Jiang Ning directly held the bowl and chopsticks to Xian Yun's lips, smiling, but inexplicably putting some pressure on Xian Yun.

Xianyun subconsciously shrank his neck and muttered something.

Something's not right. I'm the master, so why does this lecture feel like the roles are reversed?

However, under Jiang Ning's gaze, Xianyun still took the bowl and chopsticks and began to eat in small bites.

After finishing his meal, Xianyun said, "Alright, I've finished my meal. Is that alright?"

Jiang Ning asked, "How long has it been since Master went out?"

Xianyun said, "Me? It seems I've been in seclusion ever since I received the Immortal Ceremony..."

Jiang Ning said, "So you haven't been out at all! No, come out with me, at least get some sun."

"No need, I'm an immortal, I..."

"The immortal scriptures also say that cultivation is a one-way street; if you don't advance, you regress. And cultivation also requires absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, so it's always good to get more sun."

Without saying a word, Jiang Ning grabbed Xianyun and started walking outside.

Xianyun said, "You're being presumptuous! Let go! Let go!"

Despite saying that, they still let Jiang Ning drag things out.

Jiang Ning can now say that he has no pressure to manage his master.

First of all, it was his own master, and this was indeed for his master's good, so Xianyun couldn't say anything.

Furthermore, although they are nominally master and disciple, Jiang Ning, as the successor of the Geo Archon, already holds a higher position than Xian Yun in Liyue.

Finally... because of Xianyun's reckless nature once he went into seclusion, Granny Ping and Zhongli, who were originally far from the emperor's reach, had no way to manage him.

Now that we've arrived at Liyue Harbor, I see that this most beloved little disciple is perfect for the job, so I've put Jiang Ning in charge. He'll have to be dragged out of seclusion for a while and let her have some fun.

He was ordered to manage people.

Seeing Xianyun being dragged out, Shen He, who was holding a blanket, glanced at him and thought to himself that his junior brother was indeed amazing, even his master was under his thumb...

But why are they holding hands?

Shen He's eyes sharpened.

"We're already inside the courtyard, can you let me go now?"

Xianyun said.

Jiang Ning shook his head: "No, that won't work. Granny Ping said that it was always like this. She finally managed to get you out of trouble, and then in the blink of an eye, you disappeared again."

Xianyun said, "I won't run away... Never mind. But, your hands used to be so small, and now they've grown so big in the blink of an eye..."

As he spoke, he squeezed his youngest disciple's hand and sighed.

Jiang Ning was a little confused: "That's not right, Master, I've always looked like this... and it's only been three years, right?"

"Ahem... I was just lamenting the passage of time, and also, the Lock of the Mortal World... take it out and have a look."

Xianyun abruptly changed the subject.

Jiang Ning said, "Oh... there's no movement."

Xianyun was also a little puzzled: "That shouldn't be the case. Logically speaking, Guizhong once spoke in your ear, so how come..."

Jiang Ning said, "Perhaps there isn't enough of the demon god's resentment and remnants."

Xianyun pondered for a moment: "Then go to Daoqi after some time. This is also the Emperor's wish."

"Okay, that's fine. There's going to be a negotiation between the Liyue officials and the Inazuma Association in a while... What happened?"

Jiang Ning heard Gan Yu mention it in Chen Ge Hu a couple of days ago, but he wasn't clear on the specifics.

"I don't know about these trivial matters, so they probably aren't important," Xianyun shook his head.

Jiang Ning said, "Okay, fine... I'll go find Sister Ningguang later."

"So, can you let me go now?"

Xianyun said that for some reason, he felt that Shen He's gaze was a little strange.

"Oh well."

Jiang Ning released his grip.

Shen He's gaze also disappeared.

Xianyun became even stranger.

What's wrong with this child?

140. Yura's follow-up arrangements

That evening, Shen He showed off a little, demonstrating that he had learned a great deal under Xiang Ling's tutelage.

Xianyun was very happy because a new person had moved into her home.

"Excellent! Jiang Ning, you've finally come to your senses and have even learned to bring people back on your own initiative. I am very pleased with you."

Xianyun was very welcoming to Youla's arrival, which put her mind at ease as she had been worried about whether Master Jiangning would accept her.

Gan Yu was also happy for Yura, because Yura was indeed a very good girl; it was just that the prejudice against her in Mondstadt was far too exaggerated.

If this were Liyue, honestly, Yura would definitely be given a lot of support and training.

"Now that we're family, there's no need to be so reserved. Although you haven't known Zhenjun for long, he's a very easy person to get along with."

Gan Yu spoke softly to Yura.

Yura nodded: "Okay, I understand."

Gan Yu continued, "Also, tomorrow, I'll take you to Miss Ningguang's place, and we can arrange your future work there... Of course, if you just want to stay at home, that's not impossible either."

Yura thought for a moment and said, "Well, let's follow your arrangements. It's okay to rest for a while, but if it goes on for too long, my body will inevitably get rusty."

Yura didn't want to be just a pretty face after arriving in Liyue; she wanted to realize her own value.

Although she didn't say it, Yura still wanted to make a name for herself in Liyue, so that those Mondstadt people who didn't agree with her could see that she wasn't a discarded pawn.

Rather, he is a thoroughbred horse, hoping that Liyue will be his mentor.

Shen He said, "Junior Brother, Yuheng Star often comes to my place asking about your whereabouts. It seems he wants you to go back and see Liyue's future plans..."

Jiang Ning sighed, rubbing his forehead: "I knew it..."
