Genshin Impact, I, a weak person, am challenging myself to find a solution that will bring me lifelo

"You seem a little angry, but don't worry. Tianquan in the business world and Ningguang, the children's friend, have never been one and the same. I do like to make money and play some political tricks, but I swear to the Emperor that what I am going to say next is not false."

For some reason, the atmosphere around them became much heavier, and Ningguang seemed to be smiling.

"That child, her fate was changed by someone. Right?"

"What do you know?"

Ganyu finally had the reactions that Ningguang hoped for.

The beautiful lady with white hair and red eyes now regained the initiative, but it was not yet time to rejoice.

"I have investigated the child, of course. I have only a rough understanding of her, and the rest is a profile of her that I have drawn from my time with her."

To say at this point that he did not investigate others is undoubtedly treating Ganyu as a fool, and Ningguang also needs to emphasize this point.

She did not leave with any ill intentions, otherwise within a few days, she would not know whether her group of Jade Pavilions could stay in heaven well.

Ningguang had no doubt whether the immortals really possessed the legendary power. Even though the world seemed to be gradually stabilizing, this was actually just an illusion that only existed in the Liyue region.

There are always undercurrents beneath the surface of Teyvat. As the person who controls the largest intelligence network in Liyue, Ningguang is not so sure as to doubt all this. Such a stubborn fool would never be able to sit on the position of one of the Seven Stars of Liyue.

She looked at Ganyu and spoke softly.

"The child I know is a little timid and weak, and is very resistant to outside kindness. He always feels inferior and wonders if he deserves it.

Among all the children I gave gifts to, that child was the only one who was too embarrassed to accept them. Instead, he prepared snacks for me the next day as an apology.

She doesn't have many friends, but she is quite gifted in languages. I can see her reading ancient books that most children of her age can't read. She can even understand the books called "light novels" by Inazuma on the other side of the sea. These books are her friends."

Ningguang paused for a moment, picked up the cooled tea and took a sip, waiting for Ganyu to digest and understand it.

Then, he continued.

"I think this child is a promising talent. Although her family background is not good, from a secular point of view, her parents do not owe her anything. Therefore, it is not easy for me to interfere in this matter, especially if I intervene in this matter as Tianquan, I will inevitably make her a tool for exchanging interests."

As soon as these words fell, Ningguang noticed the extremely subtle change in Ganyu's expression. This change made her seem to change from a natural girl to a cold and unapproachable fairy in an instant.

"...You mean to say that it's not that you didn't want to save her, but you just kept struggling to find an opportunity but to no avail?"

Ganyu's tone held a hint of hostility.

"No, in the eyes of that child, I may not be as important as she thinks. Otherwise, she would not have chosen to seek help from me after such a big thing happened. Or maybe in her eyes, her life is over, and there is no need to involve more people.

The knowledge that far surpassed her peers had not yet had enough time to grow into knowledge and experience. She was stuck in a difficult problem that even adults could not solve, and it was natural for her to get stuck in a dead end.

She began to avoid social interaction and locked herself in her house for three months...She had almost no contact with anyone except the doctor who treated her.

You know it without me telling you. Such a personality tendency is not conducive to Yunshang's long-term development in Liyue——"

Ningguang leaned forward slightly, her expression gentle and regretful.

“I don’t want to let a child like this die so early, but I also learned that she seemed to have a master, and then it was you who took on the responsibility of taking care of her. Even her workplace from now on was the Hall of the Dead, which was rarely visited by people.

It can be said that her fate has completely changed, and the past connections with me will probably be gradually forgotten as time goes by."

“What exactly do you want to say…?”

Ganyu could sense that Ningguang hadn't lied, but if she really knew Yunshang so well, why did she wait until now to reveal it?

She was deeply skeptical whether he wanted to take advantage of the girl's network of relationships or use this as a "roundabout way to save the country."

"That's simple. I think that child is a very good rough diamond—"

Ningguang changed her tone and her smile became even more charming.

"The jade material is so green and tender, it really makes people like it, especially when it is being carefully carved by a 'carver'. In my opinion, it is easy to find a few skilled hands to do the work for you, but it is the most difficult to choose someone close to you. It is not enough to have a destiny, you also need a share."

She looked at Ganyu, whose face had turned completely gloomy, and continued.

"I wonder if Ganyu can bear the pain and give up her love for me and serve as the head of Liyue?"

Chapter 26 Yunshang, My Yunshang

"...Can I understand this as - Tianquanxing intends to seize the custody of sister Yunshang by trickery? Even at the cost of dirtying his own wings?"

Ganyu was not as furious as Ningguang thought, but her expression as calm as dead water told her so.

If she continued to talk about this topic, she would surely face the most vicious attack from the other party.

Interesting. Even after so much time, she had never seen Ganyu invest so much emotion in a mortal.

If Ganyu, a demigod, was really so easily moved by emotions, her family should have grown and expanded in more than a thousand years.

However, in reality, Ganyu is still single, like an "alien" who cannot integrate into the crowd.

She was well aware that her life span was much longer than that of ordinary people, and that it was difficult for worldly beings to understand the emotions of non-human beings.

Let alone Ganyu, Ningguang’s suitors are enough to line up from Liyue Harbor to Mondstadt, but has she ever fallen in love even once?

The answer is, not even once.

Even though Ningguang was polite to every suitor, she maintained an elegant and decent distance that made people imagine.

Even the hot topics on the streets of Liyue are always about: Who does Lady Ningguang love? Such curious gossip.

But in fact, people don’t know that Ningguang does not love "finite" things, nor does she want to be trapped by "finiteness".

But Ganyu is different. If Ningguang chose to do so actively, Ganyu had to face this unavoidable problem passively.

And now, the look on her face was so obvious that even Ningguang, an outsider who had never experienced love and whose understanding of this was hard to say, could see it.

Ganyu was already completely absorbed in the child.

What changes had taken place in her that could make a demigod so obsessed with her?

Curious and eager to know the answer, I choose to continue exploring.

"Rather than plundering, I would rather call this a sincere revelation. Compared to those people who beat around the bush in business and speak sweet words just for profit, I have never said a single false word from beginning to end. I just have a heart of admiration for talent, so how can I say that I have soiled my wings?"

Ningguang still had a faint smile on her face.

"...But what qualifications do you have to represent Liyue? Just because you are one of the Seven Stars of Liyue?"

Ganyu looked directly into her ruby ​​eyes that seemed impossible to see through, and the intensity of her questioning escalated again.

"Perhaps these words may sound outrageous to you, but the times are different now. In the days when the immortals have retired from the world and the emperors have faded from the limelight, the power of speech held by the Seven Stars of Liyue has far exceeded the sum of the past thousands of years."

Ningguang simply put the teacup down, and the clear tea soup reflected the image of the white-haired beauty.

“So, if you ask me whether I have the right to represent Liyue, then my answer is no. But I can be sure that if I carve that rough jade, it will definitely bring Liyue in the future—”

"enough!"

Ganyu slammed the table and stood up. At this moment, she could no longer suppress the anger in her heart.

The face that always looked natural and a little tired in the past was now filled with strong anger.

"Tianquanxing. This is the last time I will call you this. If you still care about our past friendship, stop testing me like this!"

"…I would like to apologize for this, Ganyu. But you know that the solution I provided will not harm the child."

Ningguang was not frightened by her emotional outburst. Although she frowned slightly, her tone remained soft and steady.

It was as if her roles and Ganyu's had been swapped, and she, the short-lived one, was the one who taught.

She said softly, "If she becomes my 'successor', the resources of the Tianquan faction will be tilted towards her, and I will also teach her everything I know, ensuring that she will have a far greater advantage than others when she runs for the position of Liyue Seven Stars in the future."

There is no such thing as promoting the virtuous and avoiding relatives in Liyue nowadays.

Even if the Liyue Seven Stars value their own abilities, with Ningguang's means and resources, are they afraid that they will not be able to cultivate a successor with seven-star qualifications?

After all, we are not going to rebel, we are just recruiting more talented people for the emperor. What's wrong with that?

"Think about it carefully, Ganyu. That child had just experienced such a dark life, but she was not defeated by it. Instead, she chose to bravely step over the threshold in her heart.

If such a child is carefully nurtured from childhood, she will undoubtedly become an extremely outstanding Liyue Seven Stars. She has such talent and opportunity——

Isn't this better than for her to be buried in the hall of the dead?"

Ningguang did not mean to look down on the Hall of Rebirth. It was a place she would have to deal with sooner or later in the future. It was just in terms of its contribution to Liyue.

A "Tianquan Star" whose influence in the future is destined to be no less than hers, is definitely much more powerful than a waitress in the Wangsheng Hall, right?

"…But that's just the idea you impose on her."

Ganyu spoke each word with emphasis, staring at her as if she were an enemy.

"Your understanding of her is limited to the surface, and you have no idea what kind of life she wants. Just because you like her talent, you want to make such a life choice for her. Don't you think that doing so is really a loss of face for Tianquanxing?"

These are quite ruthless words.

However, Ningguang still didn't feel angry about this. In fact, if anyone who really cared about the girl heard what she said, they would probably be as angry as Ganyu.

So, Ningguang stood up under her gaze and bowed her head to apologize sincerely.

"You're right. Before the child recognizes me, I really shouldn't make decisions for her in such an arrogant manner - but, I'm also very curious, Ganyu, what are you to her?"

Even though she had surrendered, her offensive did not stop. Ningguang watched Ganyu closely for any change in her expression.

"And what do you see her as? An ordinary girl next door? Or someone you love? Or is she a substitute for past memories?"

When Ganyu's eyes narrowed, Ningguang moved closer to her, keeping a distance so close that they could almost feel each other's breath.

"It seems that my prediction was not groundless. You really have such taboo feelings for a child younger than you. It is not reasonable for me to stop this. After all, you have plenty of time to wait for her to grow up. But I also want to make a suggestion for you, Ganyu."

The jade-faced white fox, who had been speaking suspicious words that seemed real and fake since the beginning of the dinner, whispered softly in someone's ear.

"——Just like you are angry that I made arrangements for her without permission and interfered with her life choices. In her eyes, you are also a stranger who suddenly broke into her life. Any control we exert on her should not have come upon her."

Just as Ganyu was about to retort, Ningguang pulled away, and she blinked at her with a smile.

"Okay. That's all I have to say. I hope you will have a smooth future, Ganyu. If you want to come back to Yuehai Pavilion, you are welcome to do so. So, goodbye now."

This action made Ganyu, who was about to explode, so angry that she felt like her head was hurting.

Of course, she knew why Ningguang did this on purpose, but it was precisely because she understood that she knew that every word she said was true.

The feelings I have for my sister are undoubtedly the flowers of sin that bloomed from the legacy of past emotions.

Even though she was not a substitute for her sister in the past, how credible was her explanation to her sister Yunshang who had no memory of the past?

That night, Gan Yu returned home in a daze.

Yunchang had been taken back by Mr. Zhongli. The room was empty and the quilt no longer had the warmth she had during her nap.

However, there is still some fragrance left...

It's my sister's smell.

call--

Ganyu took a deep breath and buried her face in the pillow.

Tomorrow, let’s go find Yunshang.

Tell her some of the truth that should have been told to her long ago.

After this, no matter what choice she makes, I must value and respect her.

Finally, if she still chooses to leave...

Ganyu's pupils gradually became empty, and a sick smile gradually appeared.

Then she would tolerate her willfulness and slowly tame her heart until she could no longer leave herself.

So, don't let your sister down.

Sister Yunshang...

Chapter 27: Can eating too much fungi kill people?

——Hall of Rebirth.

Yunchang is currently working as a waitress to gain work experience.

However, although it is said to be an advance experience of what a hostess girl should do, in fact, the area she is responsible for basically needs to be established when there are guests visiting.

If there are no customers at all, then the more likely thing is to think about how to help Master Zhongli explain the bills that are sent back one after another in a more reasonable way.

Last week it was the Night Moor Stone of excellent quality, as if it were translucent blue; this week it was the ingenious porcelain that was fired in the kiln by sticking glazed lilies on wet glaze; and now there is also a pair of jade bracelets carved from amber.

Top-grade night moor stone 190,000 maras, craft porcelain 21,000 maras, a pair of amber bracelets 350,000 maras...

There was also a flower attached to the bill, saying it was a gift for her, a fine neon flower, Sibaimora.
