“You don’t need to worry about so much,” Ella said, looking at Chiori. “There are just too many people who are friends with the young master.”

“There is a cook in Liyue named Xiangling. She has a very good relationship with the young master. The young master even gave her the cooking utensils that the general had personally crafted for her to participate in the competition.”

"Although, to be fair, the set of kitchen utensils was also given to other participating chefs to use together."

"But in the end, she came in second place, while the first place went to an unknown chef."

In Liyue, at least before the "Taste of Liyue" culinary event began, Yanxiao's reputation was far inferior to Xiangling's.

You could even say that people know who he is, but no one takes him seriously.

What a joke! What kind of place is Wangshu Inn?

Back then, the contestants on "A Bite of Liyue" were all renowned chefs.

Yan Xiao was truly a dark horse, securing victory step by step under everyone's watchful eyes.

“It’s not just Xiangling.” Black Ella also spoke up, looking at Chizuru calmly, “There are many people in Teyvat who are close to the young master, but none of them have received much preferential treatment or benefits because of their status.”

"Hmm... Yura doesn't count, she should be considered the biggest beneficiary."

Black Ella wasn't lying; most of the people Su Hao knew were either in high positions of power or possessed certain privileges.

The only negative situation was Yura, who ended up in Mondstadt because of her rumored relationship with Su Hao, and because she was the first Mondstadt person to receive Su Hao.

Under these strange circumstances, Yura was targeted less and less frequently in the Mondstadt region, and many residents even began to praise the good deeds she had done.

Although the Lawrence family was still viewed with hostility, Yola was somehow removed from the list of beauties in this strange state, a task initiated by the people of Mondstadt.

What the Knights of Favonius couldn't do before, Yura inexplicably accomplished after meeting Su Hao.

Even Su Hao was a little confused and didn't quite understand what was going on.

“Yes, I know.” Chiori nodded, but her expression was somewhat helpless. “It’s just that the clothes are different from the others. If other people want to praise them, they can find countless words to say.”

"But if I don't want to praise, there are plenty of words to choose from. I don't want to live in a world full of praise in the future."

Seeing that Qianzhi said this, Su Hao didn't insist. He said, "Then let's forget about it. But if you encounter any problems or difficulties, remember to tell me."

Seeing how understanding Su Hao was, Qianzhi couldn't help but smile. She reassured Su Hao, "If anything really happens, I'll come and bother you immediately."

After exchanging a few words, Su Hao and Qianzhi said their goodbyes for the time being.

After Su Hao left, Qianzhi took a deep breath, letting her rather excited heart cool down a little.

"So, I also have a chance?" Chihiro watched Su Hao's departing figure and couldn't help but start to ponder.

According to Su Hao's criteria for choosing a partner, she seemed to be a perfect match.

In terms of appearance and figure, she is actually no less impressive, not to mention... compared to the next Thor, Su Hao.

The Su Hao that Chiori knew was actually the eldest young master of the Su family, or rather, the head of the Su family.

At that time, Su Hao was not that famous, but Qianzhi liked his ideas very much.

And Chiori can't forget that when she left Inazuma, Su Hao encouraged her, saying that everyone has their own path, and there's no need to listen to those old fogies. Just walk your own path and live the life you want.

Even gods make mistakes; no one can avoid this.

Under the moonlight, Su Hao looked at himself and said very seriously that Qian Zhi could definitely make a name for herself in the outside world, and that she just needed not to forget him.

"Ugh……"

Thinking back to the scene from back then, and then to the current situation, Chiori sighed quietly, a hint of inexplicable helplessness flashing in her eyes.

She wanted to develop slowly and then make a name for herself.

It was Su Hao who made a name for herself; although she has achieved some success, it is still far from enough.

"I'm far from qualified." Chiori shook her head slightly, intending to shake off these distracting thoughts; she couldn't be thinking about these things now.

Thinking about these things might give rise to unnecessary desires, which is not a good thing.

"Chiori, what are you doing here? Didn't you say you were taking today off?"

At that moment, a female voice came from the side. Chiori looked over and found that her friend Xia Worei was already not far away from her.

"........."

Chiori was surprised that while she was in a daze, Xia Worei suddenly refreshed.

"Why do you look like this? You seem a little unhappy." Xia Worei looked at Qianzhi with some surprise, not expecting to see her like this, and continued, "Is something wrong?"

In Xia Worei's memory, Chiori had never shown such a gloomy expression.

It must be something very serious, otherwise the other party wouldn't have made such an expression.

"nothing."

Chiori immediately put away her somewhat gloomy expression. She looked Xia Worei up and down and said very seriously, "You've come at the right time."

"Huh?" Xia Worei sighed helplessly and said, "I'm taking the day off."

"..." Chiori didn't speak, just calmly looked at Xia Worei.

A question mark appeared above Xia Worei's head, then she seemed to understand something and asked with a surprised expression, "Is it that serious?"

Chiori nodded slightly, then added, "It's even more terrifying than you can imagine."

"How serious?" Xia Worei's expression became even more serious; Qianzhi wouldn't joke around.

Since she said that, it means things are getting serious.

"Su Hao has intervened." Qianzhi crossed her arms.

"…………" Xia Worei looked rather troubled, as if she didn't know what to say for a moment.

On the continent of Teyvat, Su Hao was renowned, though this reputation had both positive and negative aspects.

One of the more subtle aspects is that any event Su Hao gets involved in is a crisis capable of destroying a country.

Numerous examples have proven this, such as the conflict between the shogunate army and the resistance forces on the Inazuma side.

There was also the incident of the Sumeru Cult imprisoning deities.

The Fatui of Liyue broke the seal on the Demon God, releasing the ancient demon beast Baqiu, the ancient demon god Oser, and others.

In any case, if Su Hao gets involved in anything in Fontainebleau, it can only mean one thing.

That means we've reached a point where we have no choice but to take action.

Then, Xia Worei belatedly looked at Qianzhi in surprise and asked, "You know Su Hao?"

She received information that Su Hao had only arrived in Fontaine yesterday, yet the other side launched an operation today, and Qianzhi had somehow known the information in advance.

Even more coincidentally, the other party was Inatsume, and Xia Worei wasn't an idiot, so she immediately guessed what was going on.

"Keep it a secret." Qianzhi told Xia Worei to keep it a secret, which shows that she did a very good job of keeping it a secret.

"This..." Xia Worei looked surprised again, then looked at Qianzhi and asked in confusion, "Then why did you make that expression just now?"

"..." Chiori said seriously, "That's not important, what's important is..."

“It’s very important.” Xia Worei seemed to have guessed something, and grabbed Qianzhi very seriously, saying, “I’ve never seen you look like this before, which means, you’re sad about something?”

"Did Su Hao bully you? Or is there some other reason?"

You must tell me today!

Xia Worei and Qianzhi have a very good relationship; they have known each other for a long time.

Chiori has helped Xia Worei a lot.

Xia Worei also helped Qianzhi quite a bit.

That's why Xia Worei is so serious right now; she wants to know the truth.

"I won't tell!" Chiori said, blushing slightly. How could she talk about something like that?!

“…Oh~” Xia Worei saw Qianzhi’s slightly flushed face and seemed to understand something.

"What are you 'oh'ing about?" Chiori was embarrassed and angry. She used to enjoy talking to Xia Worei, but now she didn't.

The other party is too clever, now so clever that we need to silence them!

"It's nothing, it's nothing. Tell me what Su Hao got involved in."

Xia Worei knew that Qianzhi was somewhat embarrassed and angry, so she decided not to bring it up for the time being.

Anyway, there's plenty of time in the future, and we can slowly find out what's going on. As for now... let's focus on getting things done.

Chiori sighed and said, rubbing her forehead, "Don't tell Su Hao about this."

"That matter?" Xia Worei looked blank, as if she didn't know what you were talking about.

"………………" Chiori quietly clenched her fist, then loosened it.

“Come with me…” Chiori didn’t want to continue the topic, so she grabbed Xia Worei and walked towards a secluded place.

"Wait!! Don't pull me!!! I was wrong!" Xia Worei thought that Qianzhi was really angry and was going to beat her up, so she started to struggle.

But the struggle was futile. This time, Chiori's strength was unexpectedly great, and she directly dragged Xia Worei into a secluded place.

After an unknown amount of time, Chiori and Xia Worei came out.

Chiori looked relaxed, as if she had vented her anger.

At this moment, Xia Wore's clothes appeared somewhat disheveled, and she herself had a rather serious expression as she said, "I cannot make a decision on this matter; I need to report it to Funina or Lady Navelette."

During their playful fight, Chiori also informed Xia Worei of the information she had gathered.

In Fontainebleau, if there's anyone Chiori can completely trust, it's probably only Xia Worei.

Navia and Charlotte are good friends, but not to the point where they can entrust each other with important matters.

“They probably already know,” Qianzhi said, looking at Xia Worei. “After all, Su Hao came from Mo Mang Palace, so he will definitely tell the two of them about this.”

Xia Worei shook her head slightly. The procedures still needed to be followed; this matter was indeed quite significant.

If she doesn't report it, she won't be able to lead the investigation.

"However, thank you for your trust." Xia Worei expressed her gratitude to Qianzhi. Although the other party had just beaten her quite a bit, the information she provided was extremely important.

Xia Worei was aware of Fontaine's prophecy and had begun investigating it, but she had no idea where to even begin.

Now that we have something to investigate, it means we have a way to resolve this matter.

"No need to thank me for my trust. To be honest, if it weren't for Su Hao, I probably wouldn't have cared about this prediction."
