Yae from Genshin Impact is my sister

"Rodha, let me teach you how to use it. It's quite simple to use."

Inside an office in Yujingtai, Gan Yu was processing various documents. As the Lunar Festival drew closer, the number of complicated matters in Liyue Harbor increased.

“Junior sister, you’ve been looking at that little glowing tin box all morning. If you’re bored, I have many interesting books here that you can take a look at.”

Seeing that Shen He hadn't moved much all morning, Gan Yu gently reminded him that she had originally planned to visit Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun with him today, but she couldn't leave because she had too many documents to handle. Gan Yu had no choice but to ask Shen He to wait for her there.

"It's okay, senior sister. I'm chatting with Su Bai, so I'm not bored."

Shen He, holding her phone, didn't feel bored. To her, it was just a different place to look at her phone. Anyway, she was looking at her phone in the Rebirth Hall and in Gan Yu's office, so it didn't matter where she looked.

"Chatting? But Xiao Su Bai isn't here. Junior Sister, could it be that you've made some mistake in your cultivation and are hallucinating? No, you have to come with me to find Master right away."

Shen He's answer made Gan Yu's heart tighten. She had learned about Shen He's situation from Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhen Jun, who had also told her that if anything was wrong with Shen He, she should tell him immediately.

"No, no, senior sister, look at this phone."

Shen He handed the phone in her hand to Gan Yu. Gan Yu looked at the glowing metal box with some confusion, but she was also amazed when she saw the words popping up on the metal box.

"Is this some kind of new gadget from another country?"

Chapter 223 The Changes Brought About by Mobile Phones (2)

After Shen He explained it to her, Gan Yu finally accepted the function of the little box that could send messages to other people. She picked up her phone and, under Shen He's guidance, sent a message to Su Bai. Unexpectedly, Su Bai recognized her immediately.

"This thing is so convenient."

Gan Yu reluctantly returned the phone to Shen He. Such a treasure must be rare. Although she liked it, she would never do something like stealing someone else's love.

"Senior sister, I can give you one if you want."

"Before Su Bai set off for Wangshu Inn, he gave me a few cell phones and told me to give them away to anyone I wanted, as long as that person had the Divine Eye."

Shen He took a cell phone from the small bag that Grandma Ping had given her to use her outdoor magic and handed it to Gan Yu. After hesitating for a moment, Gan Yu accepted it. Gan Yu really liked this kind of tool that allowed her to chat with others while staying in the office. This way, she could work and chat with others at the same time.

"When we visit our teacher later, we'll also give her a cell phone so she can contact us anytime."

Shen He felt more gratitude than respect for Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun. If it weren't for Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun, she probably would have left this world long ago. So, her first thought after the mobile phone appeared was to give Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun one, and Su Bai happened to think the same thing.

"Yes, Master will definitely like this. Junior sister, why can I see so many people posting messages here? I can even see the messages posted by Master Hu from the Hall of Rebirth."

"That's called a 'group chat,' a place where many people can chat together. If you want to send a message to someone, just tap that person's name at the top of your phone screen."

Shen He found the name "Qun" (群) very vivid and descriptive, while Gan Yu clicked on the group Shen He mentioned with great interest. As soon as she entered the group, she saw a message from the Demon-Slaying Great Sage Xiao Fa.

Xiao: 'The Great Sage Who Subdues Demons, Xiao.'

Bennett: 'This guy seems a bit cold and unapproachable to me.'

Su Bai: 'Young man? Boss Xiao must be thousands of years old, right?'

Amber: 'The Great Sage Who Subdues Demons? The legendary Liyue Immortal!'

Su Bai: 'What do you mean by "the legendary Liyue immortal"? Aren't I an immortal too...?'

Amber: 'No, no, no, Subaru, this is different. This Demon-Slaying Great Sage is the kind of immortal with folk tales about him. My grandfather told me stories about him when I was a child.'

Su Bai: '...I'm going back to working on my message relay device. I mean, Abedo, even though you're remotely directing me, aren't you giving me far too much credit—I'm just a hermit who's never studied alchemy?'

Abeldo: 'Didn't you take Abel with you? If you don't know how, you can ask him for help. So many days have passed; he should have mastered the most basic alchemy by now, right?'

Su Bai: 'Don't even mention it, Abe almost became the dream-fulfilling master of Liyue Harbor.'

Su Bai: 'The colorful trick flowers he creates can transform into human form, right? Many people ask him for help, wanting him to command the trick flowers to transform into the likeness of the deceased, just so they can see them one last time.'

Aberdo: 'Isn't this good? He should have found meaning in life now, right?'

Su Bai: "Yes, it was fine at first, but then a fool turned this colorful deceptive flower into a beautiful woman from the Winter Kingdom, and then that fool carried the beautiful woman away!"

Su Bai: 'If we hadn't been discovered, it would have been fine. Even if we were no match for that con artist, we could have caught the Fools off guard. But that unlucky Fool just happened to run into Ke Qing. After capturing the Fools, one of them implicated Abe, so Ke Qing took Abe to Yan Fei for a lesson on the grounds of illegal business operations. The lesson isn't even over yet.'

Aberdo: '...Looks like the saying "stories imitate real life" is really true. My poor brother, haha.'

Inside the Wangshu Inn, Su Bai's head was spinning as he looked at all the mechanical parts scattered on the ground. If it weren't for the fact that Mondstadt's coastal area and Liyue's Southern Gate were too far apart to send messages, he wouldn't have gone through all this trouble to assemble these mechanical devices here.

“Abedo, you said you had the caravan bring the parts here, why couldn’t you come here yourself? This thing is simply beyond the capabilities of an amateur like me.”

Meanwhile, in the Knights of Favonius's alchemy workshop, Abedo smiled and handed a glass of milk to Klee, who was assembling a bomb. Imagining Su Bai's frantic reaction, Abedo couldn't help but chuckle mischievously.

“Brother Abedo, why do you smile so strangely? It’s like the smiles of those villains that Keli saw in the illustrations in the book.”

"Klee, you're still growing. Here, have another glass of milk."

"Huh??? Brother Abedo is a good person, his smile makes him look like a good person."

Meanwhile, in an office in Yujingtai, Yanfei was standing on the podium, holding a thick legal code, and lecturing on the various laws of Liyue. Below the podium, Abe was taking notes with Xingqiu, looking miserable.

The two brothers, both in the same boat, exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with understanding. Abe, seeing Yanfei speaking so enthusiastically on stage, quietly asked Xingqiu a question.

"Sir, how did you end up here, captured by that tigress from Yuheng Star?"

"Brother, you might not believe it, but I picked up a beautiful woman from the Kingdom of Winter on the street. I felt sorry for her because she was all alone on the street and wanted to take her home to wash up before sending her to the General Affairs Department."

"Unexpectedly, I ran into Ke Qing on the way back. If I hadn't explained quickly, I would have almost spent a few days in jail for the crime of human trafficking."

Abe's face stiffened after hearing Xingqiu's explanation. He silently shrank back and asked a question guiltily.

"Sir, didn't you do a good deed? Why do you still need to come here to study?"

"That's because I didn't send the person to the General Affairs Department immediately. That's why I also have to come and learn the law from Yanfei..."

Xingqiu gave a bitter laugh. He felt wronged. Although the girl from Zhidong Kingdom was indeed pretty, he really didn't feel anything for her. Fortunately, he was usually a nice person, and Keqing believed his explanation. However, he didn't understand why Keqing's expression was distorted at the end, as if she was trying hard to suppress a laugh.

"Hey, you two, listen up!"

"Keqing told me that after I finish explaining the laws of Liyue, she will personally examine the two of you. If you don't pass, you'll have to extend your time learning from me."

"Huh? No way???" x2

A somber mood filled the office. Yan Fei was also troubled by the strong resistance from her student; Ke Qing had really given her a difficult problem.

Chapter 224 Walnut's Mondstadt Journey (1)

"If anyone ever tells me again that alchemy is easy to learn, I'm going to smash that signal relay device in their face."

Walking down the streets of Liyue Harbor, Su Bai had a real headache. Despite Abedo's remote guidance, he still ended up with a bunch of extra parts after assembling the signal relay device.

However, when Abedo was conducting experiments in Mondstadt, he discovered that the device with fewer parts could still increase the signal coverage range, which puzzled Abedo. According to his design, the effect should not be so good if some parts were missing.

After studying it from a distance, Abedo still couldn't figure out the reason, and Su Bai really didn't want to reassemble the complicated device again, so after instructing Philgodette to protect it, he returned directly to Liyue Harbor.

After becoming interested in the device, Abedo decided to take Klee to the upcoming Moon Festival in Liyue, and take the opportunity to study the signal relay device assembled by Su Bai.

"Brother Abe, the Deception Flower you developed is truly amazing. After becoming a knight-errant, I really see a knight-errant feeling in it."

Inside the Hall of Rebirth, Xingqiu stared with shining eyes at the 'hero' before him who looked exactly like the one in the painting. His eyes, his attire, his aura—it was exactly the same as the hero in his mind. This made Xingqiu feel his thoughts flowing like a spring, and it seemed that he wouldn't be late with his manuscript this month.

"Haha, it's not as exaggerated as Xingqiu makes it out to be. It was just something I created on a whim."

Abe Shao, who was quite familiar with Yan Fei and Xing Qiu, looked very proud. This was an alchemical product he had created not long after he started learning alchemy, and it was also Abe Shao's pride.

"Unfortunately, Jade Balance Star no longer allows me to use this trick to earn Mora. Sigh~"

Thinking of Keqing's fierce appearance, Abe sighed. He had been thinking of using this method to earn more Mora and build a bigger scam, but now it seemed that this dream would have to be postponed indefinitely.

Zhong Li, who was looking at her phone, was also quite interested in the trick flower. Perhaps it was because these colorful trick flowers were created by Abe Shao. These trick flowers would not move without Abe Shao's command, which made it easy for Zhong Li to pick up a colorful trick flower.

"I never imagined alchemy was so amazing, young friend Abe. Another old friend of mine is also very interested in alchemy. If you have any basic alchemy books, I wonder if that would be of any use..."

“An old friend of Mr. Zhongli? Of course, it’s just some basic alchemy notes. Mr. Zhongli, please feel free to take them.”

Abe generously gave Zhongli some of the basic alchemy notes that Abe had compiled, and he wasn't worried that these notes would fall into the wrong hands.

Because Su Bai had told him that this Mr. Zhongli, who seemed to do nothing all day, might be an immortal who had lived for thousands of years. He had also just spoken with Abedo on the phone, and Abedo had said that he didn't care about basic alchemy notes.

Now that we can do Mr. Zhongli a favor, we can ask him for advice if we encounter any problems we can't figure out in the future. After all, thousands of years of knowledge is not something that can be easily explained. Moreover, Mr. Zhongli seems to be the kind of immortal who is good at thinking, completely different from the short immortal we met at Wangshu Inn that day.

After mentally criticizing the obviously unapproachable immortal at Wangshu Inn, Abe Shao took out some notes and placed them on the table next to Zhong Li.

Zhongli picked up a book, glanced through it briefly, and then put it away. Sure enough, it's best to leave professional matters to professionals. He believed that Liu Yun must be interested in alchemy.

Of course, Zhongli wouldn't do something that would offend people. He would wait for Ruotuo to return and have Ruotuo deliver it. He believed that even if Liuyun didn't want to learn alchemy, she would definitely study hard for Ruotuo's sake. After all, her feathers had only just grown out, and Liuyun would definitely not give Ruotuo any reason to pluck them.

"Sigh, Liu Yun, I'm sorry, but for Li Yue's sake, I can only ask you to make this sacrifice."

As for Ruo Tuo, Zhong Li said he didn't feel any guilt. After all, his own brother was just someone to be tricked, and Ruo Tuo had tricked him quite a bit. Not long ago, Zhong Li even saw Ruo Tuo encouraging Ke Qing, trying to use Ke Qing's status to get this old man, who was over a thousand years old, to work at Yuehai Pavilion or the General Affairs Department.

"I'm back!"

Just as Zhongli was contemplating the future development of alchemy in Liyue, Su Bai finally returned to the Hall of Rebirth. Embracing the fragrance of precious wood in the air, Su Bai felt as if he had come home.

"What happened in Liyue Harbor? Why are they suddenly making coffins, and using such precious wood at that?"

Foxes have a keen sense of smell, and Su Bai keenly noticed that in addition to the fragrance of the Hall of Rebirth, there was also a trace of other wood in the air, which surprised Su Bai.

The old coffins in the Hall of Rebirth have been unsold for so many years, and now they're making new ones? You know, the last time the Hall of Rebirth made new coffins was for the Thousand Rock Army soldiers who sacrificed themselves during the Oser invasion. There should still be quite a few left from that last batch.

"Oh, it seems that Master Hu's Church of Rebirth in Mondstadt and the Cathedral of Favonius reached a cooperation agreement. I'm not very clear about the specific process. Master Hu only said this on his phone."

In the past few days, besides cramming on the laws of Liyue, Abe has also learned a lot about some of Liyue's traditions. He now knows what kind of business the Hall of Rebirth does, but he is not opposed to it and even finds it a bit novel. Perhaps next time he can ask Walnut's little ghost to come and study it, and see if he can figure out how to make a ghost-shaped Deceitful Flower.

Just when everyone at the Hall of Rebirth thought that Hu Tao was busy, Hu Tao, far away in Mondstadt, was holding a meeting with the staff of her Hall of Rebirth's Mondstadt branch.

"I've called you all here today to say two things. Please listen carefully, and I'll treat you to drinks afterward."

"Great!"

"Wendy, calm down and let me finish what I have to say."

Seeing Wendy turn to rush out the door, Hu Tao quickly slammed the door shut. Just in case, Hu Tao took out her staff and shoved the door into the bolt.

"Phew, looks like making the latch bigger isn't so bad after all. Wendy, you better listen up!"

"Hey~"

With no other option, Wendy had to obediently sit down in the chair when Hu Tao wouldn't let him leave. Hu Tao glanced around and, seeing that everyone was present, spoke up.

"I won't say more. First, during my absence from Mondstadt, Sister Glory will temporarily manage the Mondstadt branch of the Hall of Rebirth."

"Because Miss Glory has some eye problems, the Cathedral of Favonius will assign a nun to assist her for a year. Wendy, you lazy bum, keep an eye on the Cathedral of Favonius if you have nothing better to do. If anyone dares to cause trouble or bully Glory, just take action. I have already reached an agreement with the Knights of Favonius."
