Venti looked at the teacup suspiciously, took a sip, scratched his head, and only felt that the taste was good.

To ask him to taste this, it was really a bit difficult.

Drinking alcohol was fine, but he really didn't understand tea.

"Speaking of which, it's been a long time, right?" Gu Chen smiled faintly.

Zhongli had a look of reminiscence in his expression: "Since the Sect Leader merged with the Dao, there has been no news of the Sect Leader for a long, long time. Counting the time, it's been nearly a thousand years."

"Yeah." Gu Chen nodded.

The two were reminiscing here. Venti listened without interrupting, after all, he didn't have the memories of his previous life, so his feelings were not that profound.

After a long time, Zhongli laughed freely: "It's very good now. The Great Elder has finally come together with the Sect Leader. If the fellow Daoists of the past knew, they would definitely drink happily!"

"Speaking of which, it's a bit of a pity." Gu Chen felt a bit emotional.

After chatting for a while, Zhongli said: "How does the Sect Leader view this age?"

The reminiscence just now was just old friends not seeing each other for too long, and now it was time to talk about business.

Gu Chen pondered for a moment and said: "If you want to do it, just do it. If something happens, I'll take responsibility for you."

"I thank the Sect Leader for his compassion on behalf of all living beings!"

Zhongli's expression became solemn, and he stood up and bowed to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen smiled and didn't say anything.

If the exposure system continues to expose like this, the bed in his master bedroom won't be able to hold so many people.

Most of them don't have a lifespan much stronger than ordinary people.

Whether for their future or for the common people, Gu Chen would not refuse this matter, but would instead vigorously promote it.

Since Zhongli has this idea, just leave it directly to Zhongli.

Being able to confer him as the Noble Gold Enforcement Heavenly God is enough to see Zhongli's character. Whether in the previous life or this life, he is a trustworthy person.

Therefore, Gu Chen naturally became a hands-off boss.

"Sect Leader, let me kowtow to you!"

Venti suddenly looked solemn.

Gu Chen glanced at him, and the corners of his eyes twitched.

This guy really did what he said, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to him seriously.

Zhongli nodded rarely and didn't say anything.

Venti looked a bit exaggerated, but Gu Chen deserved this courtesy!

After kowtowing, Venti laughed and rubbed his hands, saying: "Sect Leader, my strength in the previous life was insufficient, so I was only conferred as a Star Lord. In this life, being a Heavenly Venerable shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Thinking that he was the only Star Lord in the group, even Venti felt a burst of shame.

Especially when Dvalin teased him through this matter, it made Venti feel very helpless.

Analyzing the achievements of this life, being a Heavenly Venerable should be qualified!

"My suggestion here is to sweep the floor in the Profound Heaven Sect. As a Wind God, wouldn't the wind roll up the leaves and clean it up?" Gu Chen smiled.

"Based on universal rationality, it's reasonable!" Zhongli nodded.

Fine, fine, fine. You really listened to the group members' suggestions?

Venti was crying and laughing, but thinking about it, it seemed quite interesting, so he giggled and said: "As long as the Sect Leader doesn't mind, anything is fine!"

"You kid."

Although he knew that Venti's face and bottom line were very flexible, he didn't expect this old guy to be really shameless!

But thinking about it, it's also true. Venti still had a little burden in front of his juniors, but in front of his peers or even seniors, he restored his true nature and began to let himself go.

After the two teased Venti for a while, they talked about the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles.

"The Sustainer contacted me yesterday, saying she wanted to visit the Sect Leader... If I'm not mistaken, it should be because of the video, so it's not convenient to come alone," Zhongli said.

Gu Chen nodded: "Should be afraid that I hold a grudge?"

"No, the Sect Leader is broad-minded and won't care too much about those, but Guizhong..." Zhongli showed a smile that everyone understood.

From the perspective of a bystander, the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles was stubborn and insisted on fighting the Profound Heaven Sect, which eventually led to her fall, which in turn led to Gu Chen's unexpected merging with the Dao.

Why the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles would be like this, few people think about it, after all, there is no meaning in thinking about it.

And Guizhong holds a certain hostility toward the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles. Teyvat was clearly thriving, but this guy had to make trouble for no reason, causing her to suffer for hundreds of years.

Women holding grudges are narrow-minded and unreasonable.

As a woman, the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles naturally understands this, so she first let Zhongli, her subordinate, explore the way.

After listening, Gu Chen laughed loudly: "She underestimates Guizhong too much. It's certain that she holds hostility toward her, but it won't affect the world's development in a good direction... However, there is no reason for her to want something but let her subordinate explore the tone. Tell her directly to come herself!"

"Good." Zhongli nodded, immediately summoned the light screen, and sent a message to the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles.

"Sect Leader, is it convenient for us to listen when you talk later?"

Venti sat to the side, shaking his legs, full of expectant smiles.

"You want to see your boss make a fool of herself?"

Seeing him like that, Gu Chen knew what he was thinking, and didn't refuse.

"To be honest, I'm a little afraid of her, but seeing her afraid of the Sect Leader makes me happy. Although there is no hatred, I have a feeling that a great revenge has been avenged, do you understand?!"

Venti giggled, the expression on his face comparable to the squinting smile in the group chat.

"Be careful she gives you small shoes to wear." Zhongli laughed lightly.

"What's there to be afraid of!"

Venti spread his hands, full of fearlessness: "I have the Sect Leader covering me, what could I be afraid of her?!"

"We aren't familiar, don't climb relationships." Gu Chen waved his hand.

Venti had a dog-legged smile on his face, giggling: "Sect Leader, I am your most loyal follower Venti, how can we not be familiar!"

Zhongli laughed: "When it comes to face, you are still stronger."

"There is no cultivation method for face in this world, otherwise I think Venti could be invincible in the world." Gu Chen said seriously.

"Holy crap, that's really a pity!"

Venti heard this and slapped his thigh with a look of regret, as if invincibility in the world had brushed past him.

Zhongli: "..."

Gu Chen: "..."

Not long after.

The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles, who received the message, had already arrived at Gu Fu.

When Paimon went to open the door and saw her, she was very surprised.

The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles was very polite and greeted Paimon, which made Paimon feel that this guy didn't seem like the one in the video of the previous life.

Is it because she is afraid of Gu Chen, or because the world is different, leading to a different personality?

Paimon didn't understand, but didn't think too much about it. After guiding her to the pavilion, she went to enjoy afternoon tea.

Inside the pavilion.

Zhongli and Venti sat upright.

The Sect Leader is very easy to get along with. Although his status is noble, he is still like an old friend of many years, and there is no problem with making jokes.

But the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles is their boss in this life, dominating the entire Teyvat.

Even if they have any thoughts, they cannot express them directly; that would be too arrogant.

Even Venti, who wanted to watch the fun, kept a straight face, looking at his nose and heart.

This is the first meeting between the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles of this life and Gu Chen.

She put her posture very low, not knowing if it was because she was asking for help or because of awe of Gu Chen's strength, perhaps both.

Gu Chen didn't care about these things. After inviting her to sit down, he began to look at her.

Her white hair looked a bit fluffy, scattered casually behind her.

Her white and exquisite face carried a faint nervousness. The golden pupils, like a sniper scope, did not reveal too many extra emotions, but this royal sister in front of him indeed had emotions.

Her skin color was a bit too white. Gu Chen could keenly perceive that her aura was a bit unstable, as if she hadn't recovered well after being severely injured, but instead had worsened because of it.

No matter what this woman is thinking, at least her purpose in coming here is to stabilize this world, and Gu Chen has to look at her highly.

Of course, looking at her lowly is also fine. After all, this royal sister has a pair of white, delicate, and slender legs, and her feet are wrapped in bandages like socks. Gu Chen gave his appraisal result at a glance. ===== CHAPTER 215 =====

Her skin was somewhat overly pale. Gu Chen could keenly sense that her aura was a bit unstable, as if she hadn't recovered well after being severely wounded, and instead, it was

continuing to worsen.

Regardless of what this woman was actually thinking, at least her purpose in coming here was to stabilize this world, so Gu Chen had to hold her in higher regard.

Of course, holding her in lower regard would also work; after all, this mature woman had a pair of fair, slender legs, with bandages wrapped around her feet like stockings. Gu Chen gave his own appraisal at a glance.
