If I can establish a good relationship with this young apprentice, I can ask for help in the future, and this way we will build up a good relationship!
During this period, Yunchang could particularly feel the Liyue Port's business philosophy of "harmony is the most valuable".
Although there would be occasional cases where it was difficult to talk to a stone, as long as Master Zhongli showed up, no matter how stubborn the stone was, he could grind it down to a temper.
This was a skill that she admired very much.
However, just as some people are satisfied, naturally some people are not satisfied.
Walnut is quite dissatisfied.
She thought that Yunshang spent less time with her. Because she was a night owl, Hutao was usually more active at night, but Yunshang, who was weak, had already gone to bed by then, and there was no one to play with her, so she could only go to find Qiqi.
Although she would occasionally go out shopping with Yunshang during the day, they would always come back with a hefty bill.
Fortunately, Wangshengtang is a funeral business, and it is the only one in Liyue Harbor. The commission collected from each completed order is enough to support Wangshengtang for three months.
The saying "open for half a year and make enough money, then close for half a year" is not particularly appropriate to describe the business of Wangsheng Hall, but it is basically the situation.
But this also made Hu Tao realize the sense of crisis.
We can't keep eating like this, we have to save resources, find another way, and take the initiative to do the work, right?
Thus, without Zhongli and Yunshang knowing, Xiao Hutao, who considered himself the head of the hall, took on the mission of supporting the family.
Whenever he saw Yunchang, who was a little fatter than a few months ago, he would always look at her with a kind motherly gaze.
"...?"
Hu Tao went to bed too late. Is he groggy during the day?
However, Yun Shang usually wouldn't hide from her at times like this, but would just let Hu Tao tease her. She could also see that Hu Tao had been much more motivated recently.
In the past, he would try to find ways to escape the boring time of memorizing lessons, but now he is actively taking over the affairs in the Hall of Rebirth.
This transformation was naturally noticed by Mr. Hu. He was naturally pleased that Hu Tao had grown up, but he also felt guilty that Chang Qi had to bear all this at such a young age.
Therefore, Mr. Hu could only make greater use of Zhongli and Yunshang, who was regarded as one of the future successors of the Wangsheng Hall.
In his opinion, if either Hu Tao or Yun Shang changed their gender, he would not have to worry about his life.
Unfortunately, it is not the right one. Who knows which stinky boy will get the chance in the future...
With this melancholy, Mr. Hu did not show any abnormality. He just taught the two of them as usual, especially teaching them the secret skills passed down from generation to generation in Hu Tao Wangsheng Hall.
However, Yun Shang was usually not present at this time. It was not because Mr. Hu was hiding his abilities from her, but simply because her physique was not suitable for practicing this kind of thing.
She herself had a copy of the Immortal Heart Sutra that Master Zhongli had found for her, which was said to be able to be used to cultivate one's body and mind.
Although it is quite obscure and difficult to understand, if you recite it a few times every day, you can feel as if there is some kind of neutral and peaceful power flowing through your body, reducing some of the negative effects brought by illness.
Combined with the medicine prepared by Master Zhongli and Mr. Baizhu, it assists in treatment.
For the first time, Yun Chang had the thought that she might live a hundred years in this life.
However, compared to the real immortals around them, a hundred years is just a small episode in their lives, right?
Her gaze turned to a half-immortal girl next to her.
She has unicorn horns, aqua blue hair, and a gentle expression with a hint of naturalness. In contrast to her innocence is the bold high-slit tights she wears. Her exposed shoulders are also particularly eye-catching, and there is an ancient town bell tied around her neck.
The corners of the sleeves, separated like wings, were dyed with porcelain blue, and a pair of slender hands were sticking out from them, holding a pair of elegant jade bracelets.
"...Hmm? What's wrong, Sister Yunshang? Is it because this pair of bracelets doesn't suit your taste?"
"Ah. No, that's not the case. The jade material of this bracelet is very tender green, and the carving craftsmanship is first-rate. It is worthy of the title of the treasure of Mingxingzhai. How can I not like it?"
"As long as you like them, I'll give them to you."
Hearing her high evaluation, Ganyu narrowed her eyes happily.
"Well... no, a bracelet like this must be very expensive, and the love and care contained in it is beyond my reach. How can I accept Sister Ganyu's kindness for nothing?"
The girl shook her head repeatedly. How could she easily agree to such a precious gift? But as soon as she said this, Ganyu began to cry again.
"...Sure enough, sister Yunshang is still upset about my previous disrespect?"
"That's absolutely not the case. Sister Ganyu is kind-hearted and treats me sincerely. Although I admire you very much, I cannot really go beyond the rules and accept such a precious gift."
As soon as the girl got nervous, the smile that Xingqiu once described as "cunning like a cat" appeared on her face.
"If it's just a few ordinary dishes, or a cup of good tea at the Heyu Teahouse, I would shamelessly ask you to give me a ride."
"Really? Sister Yunshang didn't give me a perfunctory answer, or... lie to me?"
Ganyu's pink and purple eyes seemed to have lost their luster.
That dazed look was as if Yun Shang had once seduced her and then abandoned her.
But let alone getting to know others, I have only known Sister Ganyu for the past two months.
Even if her previous lives are counted, her three lives combined may not even be a fraction of the "Fairy Sister" in front of her.
Logically speaking, with such an exaggerated age gap, even if the two of them don’t get along like friends, they should at least be like an elder treating a younger person.
But the fact is quite the opposite -
That’s right, this story starts from the first time the two met.
At that time, Yunchang moved from Wangsheng Hall to a property owned by Zhongli outside Yujingtai.
Most of the people who come in and out of there are people with prominent backgrounds, and the Qianyan Army often patrols there.
Master Zhongli is a single man after all. Even though he has the title of master, he cannot take care of Yunshang in all aspects in private.
For this purpose, he introduced her to Sister Ganyu, the acquaintance mentioned in the previous conversation with Mr. Yun.
She is Yue Haiting's secretary and also an "old senior" respected by the Seven Stars of Liyue.
From this point of view, it is not clear whether Master Zhongli was joking or simply looking for an excuse to fool people.
But if it is true, then Master Zhongli must be quite old.
In this way, it can actually match his knowledge.
Having followed Master Zhongli for such a long time, she had never seen anything that he didn't understand.
He can explain almost every aspect of Liyue Harbor.
And this sister Ganyu, she went to see her with respect at that time.
However, as soon as the two met, Sister Ganyu flew over, as if she had found a long-lost relative.
If she hadn't cried on the spot and there were no doubts in her memory, she would have really worried that it was some "love" from her previous life that had come knocking on her door.
Since that meeting, basically every time Yunchang came back to live in Yujingtai, she could see Sister Ganyu preparing every aspect of her life for her.
Eating, living, wearing, and even bathing together, if Yunchang hadn't said she could do it, Sister Ganyu would have taken care of it for her -
This method of training her is like training her to be a useless person who cannot live without Sister Ganyu.
If Master Zhongli hadn't said that this was just because of Sister Ganyu's nature of caring for others, Yunchang would have really worried that she would be sent to Yuehai Pavilion to be a secretary in the future.
However, after that, Yun Chang reduced the number of times she returned to Yujingtai to live.
And because of this incident, I think the first impression I gave to others was really bad.
Ganyu, who had been thinking about how to compensate her, chose the panacea of giving her a jade bracelet.
This was also the method she asked from Tianquan Star, but in the end people were unwilling to accept it.
Gan Yu, feeling confused, had to take back the jade bracelet and whispered.
"...Since Sister Yunshang doesn't want to, I won't force her."
"It's not that I don't want to, it's just that it's a coincidence."
The girl spoke to her gently.
"Besides, Sister Ganyu and I haven't reached the point where we need to give each other jade bracelets to make amends, right?"
"...Then, Sister Yunshang, do you think I am qualified as a sister?"
Ganyu looked at this smile that was so similar to the one in her memory, and bitterness kept rising in her heart.
"Rather than describing it as qualified or unqualified, it's better to say that Sister Ganyu has really done a lot for me, so from this aspect alone, you are already invincible."
"Is this so..."
There was a sudden glow in Ganyu's eyes, and then she came closer, and the light, refreshing fragrance that belonged only to her came immediately.
"Then, can I take a nap with Sister Yunshang?"
This is Ganyu's habit. She will look for a safe place to take a nap every noon.
In her opinion, the cottage she and her sister Yunshang lived in was the safest place in the entire Liyue.
As a result, invitations for naps like this happened from time to time, and after Yun Chang declined several times at the beginning, the other party rarely mentioned it again.
Now that I think about it, I probably feel that our relationship has become closer, so let's give it another try?
Thinking of this, Yun Shang agreed to her request.
The double bed in the room was more than enough for two young girls to lie down, but in terms of height, Yun Shang was indeed half a head shorter than Gan Yu. Lying in the quilt and being hugged by her, she always felt like she was being used as a pillow.
Moreover, in order to avoid hitting Yunchang with her horns, Ganyu took a nap lying on her side.
This made her face especially close to him, and the warm breath with a slight herbal scent made Yun Chang feel inexplicably good.
From this perspective, I, who think that I smell good, am just as bad as Sister Eula was back then.
With such wild thoughts in mind, the girl gradually closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
For a moment, the only sound in the bedroom was the girls' even and gentle breathing.
The afternoon sun was shining brightly, making the inner room seem even cooler and more refreshing.
But, halfway through——
Ganyu, who was supposed to sleep until she woke up on time, quietly opened her eyes and secretly looked at the girl in her arms through the slits of her eyes.
The beautiful face that is no less beautiful than that of a half-immortal, the lips that are as tempting as cherry blossoms, and the look of her sleeping peacefully as if she has let down her guard are so adorable.
She gently touched the girl's face, confirming bit by bit, feeling the joy of regaining what she had lost.
Long before, she had heard the Emperor say that he had found Chuxue's reincarnation.
But she couldn't believe it at that time, because it was she who found the first snow under the banyan tree exhausted after collapsing in the heavy snow.
The girl's face was pale, and her once lively eyes were now dead and empty. When she heard the voice, she asked stupidly, "Who's there?"
At that moment, Ganyu felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.
She had deep feelings for her sister, but was hindered by common ethics and did not dare to reveal even a little bit.
Even though I prepared a plan in my mind every day on how to talk to her, I became speechless as soon as I saw her busy figure.
Want to share the burden...
So I studied harder and mastered all the knowledge needed for my work.
That period was when she felt she was closest to the first snow, but everything ended the day the snow stopped.
She walked in the snow for a long time holding her sister, but she didn't know where to go back.
Why choose to leave alone?
Why make promises you can't keep?
Why did it pass away so quietly...
This started with sisterly love, and then the longing she had while studying at the Immortal Peak, and then during the Demon God War, she neglected to exercise and was swallowed by a giant beast, and was rescued by her sister who heard the news...
These emotions and memories blended together, and finally formed a kind of lingering poison.
In order to escape these emotions, she jumped into the ocean of work, using high-intensity work to force herself not to think about these things.
But the loneliness and solitude of being a "non-human thing" in the crowd has always troubled her.
Maybe one day, she will also meet the same end as her sister.
But now, Ganyu is sure that she has found what she wants to do——
Perhaps it is time to end this long work.
That afternoon, Ningguang, who was in the Qun Yu Pavilion, received the resignation letter from Gan Yu.
