Genshin Impact: Ningguang is still a pitiful little thing, I invested in her.

Gan Yu rarely spoke, mostly doing things like wiping sweat and handing out water, her expression gentle and caring. Occasionally, she would even help Fang Xun look after the children.

This scene made Gan Yu look exactly like a gentle and virtuous wife and mother.

Amber's grandfather was dumbfounded. What was going on?

Is this still the same Lord Gan Yu he remembers, the one who only knows how to carry out tasks?

Immediately afterwards, Amber's grandfather turned his attention to Fang Xun.

Who exactly is this young man?

How can someone make Lady Gan Yu put aside her work to go on vacation and take care of people in a gentle and virtuous way?

No matter how you look at it, it seems unbelievable.

Amber's grandfather silently watched Fang Xun's retreating figure.

He suddenly felt that this year's Flower Festival would be more interesting than in previous years.

...

Sorry I'm late. Everyone, get some rest. Goodnight.

Chapter 309 One dog is worth twenty elite soldiers

The sun was setting in the west; it was already dusk.

The fiery clouds on the horizon rolled slowly like ocean tides, sometimes shrinking into clusters, sometimes stretching out.

The warm, golden sunlight cast a glow over the entire city of Mondstadt.

At this very moment, the people are all preparing for the upcoming Wind and Flower Festival.

Fresh chrysanthemums or Cecilia flowers are displayed at the entrance of every household.

Restaurants are offering limited-time discounts, and pubs are busy developing new products.

The people were chatting and laughing, and the whole city of Mondstadt looked peaceful and beautiful.

However, this seemingly peaceful scene is like a calm lake surface, while undercurrents are surging beneath.

A detachment of elite Knights of the West quietly left the city and headed towards Clearspring Town.

Their mission is to rescue Amber's grandfather and simultaneously defeat the four Ruin Guardians.

"We must find 'An' and bring him home."

"The Knights of Favonius will never abandon any member, not at any time."

These are the original words of Falgar, Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius.

The three scout knights who had escaped earlier were now also in the group.

Because the elite troops didn't know much about the specific situation around Qingquan Town, they needed to lead the team.

At this moment, a scout knight solemnly said, "Our boss loves to drink. If he comes back safe and sound this time, I'll treat him to seven days and seven nights of drinking!"

Although he knew the chances were slim, he still prayed earnestly.

What if?

What if the boss comes back safely?

The scout knight beside him glanced at him and said with some dissatisfaction, "The boss is always so good to you, but you're so stingy even when making a wish?"

The person paused for a moment, then asked, "How do I make a wish?"

The disgruntled scout knight closed his eyes and clasped his hands together in front of his chest.

“Great Barbatos, I am your devout follower,”

"I'm willing to give up half my life as long as the boss can come back safely."

As soon as he finished speaking, the carriage in front suddenly stopped.

Immediately afterwards, the Knights of Favonius let out a series of exclamations.

"An?! An's back!"

Amber's grandfather did not reveal his name, so everyone usually called him Amber.

The scout knight, who had just been making a devout wish, gaped in astonishment.

He never expected that his prayers would actually be heard by the wind god, who would safely send his leader back to Mondstadt!

Wait...doesn't that mean he'll lose half his life?

Great Barbatos, I was just joking...

Could you please not deduct half of my lifespan, but instead deduct a quarter of it?

"Boss, welcome home."

At that moment, the scout knight, with tears in his eyes, stepped forward and gave him a big hug.

Amber's grandfather looked disgusted, thinking to himself, "Isn't it disgusting for grown men to be so mushy?"

The scout knight, oblivious to Amber's grandfather's expression, asked curiously, "Boss, can you tell us what happened?"

He wasn't the only one curious; the other Knights of Favonius were equally perplexed.

If you look closely at Amber's grandfather's clothes, they are so tattered that there isn't a single intact piece; even a beggar's clothes are better than his.

This indicates that he had encountered an extremely fierce battle, yet he had no injuries whatsoever.

This is too strange.

We thought...

"You thought I was dead, didn't you?" Amber's grandfather said dismissively.

"Things really did surprise me."

Amber's grandfather made no attempt to hide anything, addressing all the Knights of Favonius: "Let me introduce you all, this little dog is named Taro-maru."

"It was it that defeated the four Ruin Guardians."

After those words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

A dog defeated four Ruin Guardians?

It's worth noting that the Knights of Favonius dispatched a force of twenty elite warriors to hunt down those four Ruin Guardians.

In other words, one puppy is worth twenty elite soldiers?

But the little dog looked harmless, and two little girls kept clinging to it.

A girl in a blue dress kept feeding it, while another girl in a red dress was carefully applying ugly makeup to it.

The puppy looked extremely aggrieved, but dared not resist.

This little dog doesn't look like it could handle four ruin guards at all.

For a moment, everyone was stunned, as if they were listening to a story.

Amber's grandfather, however, was too lazy to explain, giving an attitude of "believe it or not, it's up to you."

He then continued, "Next, let me formally introduce you to Mr. Fang Xun."

"He healed my injuries, and Taromaru is also his partner."

Amber's grandfather recounted the events of that time to the members of the Knights of Favonius.

The members were also surprised that Fang Xun, who looked so young, was so powerful.

Not only did it raise a puppy that could wield a dagger, but its own healing abilities were also astonishingly strong.

It's truly unbelievable that they forcibly brought back Amber's grandfather, who was on the verge of death.

Perhaps only Bishop Simon could achieve such a powerful healing effect.

The group was about to greet Fang Xun when they were surprised to find him staring intently at the entrance to Mondstadt.

Clearly, something had caught Fang Xun's attention.

Following Fang Xun's gaze, everyone saw a little girl from the Lawrence family.

Chapter 310 The Lonely Girl Named Yura

At this moment, Fang Xun did not notice the words of the Knights of Favonius.

His attention was drawn to a fruit shop not far away.

A little girl with long blue hair was seen standing on tiptoe, trying her best to negotiate a business deal with the fruit shop owner.

"Hello, I would like to buy two apples."

The little girl's voice was soft and sweet, and she sounded incredibly well-behaved.

She simply stood there quietly, exuding an air of elegance, poise, and nobility, like a princess.

The busy shop owner, without even looking up, said "Okay!" and cheerfully prepared to get an apple for the little girl.

However, when he looked up and saw the little girl's face clearly, the smile on his face vanished instantly.

Instead, a sense of defensiveness and alienation prevailed.

"No, no, all the apples in my store are sold out. You'll have to buy some elsewhere."

The girl didn't speak; her gaze fell on the shelves laden with apples.

The apples weren't sold out at all; the fruit shop owner just didn't want to sell them to her.

The girl seemed used to it; she then ran to a nearby fruit shop to buy apples.

But they were rejected again for the same reason, even though the shelves were full of apples.

The little girl stood there helplessly, her hands nervously twisting the hem of her clothes.

She didn't understand why the shop manager rejected her with such a cold expression, yet could turn around and smile as he sold the apple to another child.

Just then, a group of children appeared on the street.

They chased and played in groups.
