Chapter 313

Jean's still-youthful face had a serious expression as she analyzed: "I've gone through some records. Dottore seems to have been a scholar expelled by the Sumeru Akademiya... Analyzing from the small amount of information, this person is not a good person, and the organization called the Fatui is notorious throughout the continent. So their purpose must not be what the document says about communication and learning!"

"Your analysis is correct. You are truly the most outstanding person of the Gunnhildr clan of this generation." Gu Chen nodded slightly, affirming Jean's analysis.

Hearing Gu Chen's praise, Jean's eyes curved, and she said modestly: "It's not that exaggerated. Combining some information actually allows one to know the answer."

"Knowing how to use known information to analyze an opponent is something worth affirming." Gu Chen laughed.

Jean's expression was spirited, and joy flickered in her eyes.

[Lisa]: Oh~ The young girl praised by her idol is very excited~ (Smirk)

[Nilou]: That excitement is about to overflow! I feel like with Miss Jean like this, as long as Mr. Gu Chen makes a move, she'll confess everything and then take the bait herself! (Barbara? Covering face, shy)

[Collei]: If little brother Gu Chen goes fishing, I feel like he doesn't even need a hook. He just needs to put some praise on the fishing line, and Miss Jean will follow the line all the way to little brother Gu Chen's hands! (Klee? Yay)

[Jean]: Ah... (Dizzy)

[Kaeya]: It can be seen that Grand Master Jean still hasn't accepted this fact, but it's understandable. Who let Grand Master Jean be the mature version now? (Funny)

[Yae Miko]: Now, please start imagining: You are a ten-year-old girl, your ideal is to become a knight who protects Mondstadt, and in front of you is a boy only two years older than you, who at a young age has sat in the position of Vice Grand Master, concurrently serving as the Chief Instructor of the Knights, and also asks you to become his assistant. The more you understand his strength, the more you worship him in your heart. Thus, you begin to fall hopelessly in love with him!

[Albedo]: Miss Yae Miko, please write a book now, immediately, right away. I can help draw the illustrations. (Albedo? Smirk)

[Yae Miko]: What should the title of the book be? (Yae Miko? Smirk)

[Lumine]: "The Overbearing Idol Favors Me"!

[Paimon]: Lady Frederica looks like she really wants to set up Gu-boss and Grand Master Jean. If it really succeeds, what about Barbara? (Funny)

[Barbara]: G, why are you suddenly talking about me?! (Barbara? Panicked)

[Collei]: The second female lead hasn't appeared yet! (Noticed)

[Barbara]: Hmm... I already said it before, I'm learning how to be a good Deaconess!

[Tartaglia]: Um, allow me to interject. Does no one really care what Dottore is coming to Mondstadt to do? (Qiqi? Observing from the shadows)

[Kaeya]: If the Sect Leader weren't here, then I might really be worried. But now that the Sect Leader is here, what's there to worry about? (Confused)

[Dvalin]: I hold the same attitude. Mondstadt without the Sect Leader is vulnerable; Mondstadt with the Sect Leader... Dottore won't have a good outcome coming to Mondstadt! (Pointing)

[Tartaglia]: I really want to see the confrontation between Mr. Gu Chen and the Doctor. I want to see Mr. Gu Chen's body-refining technique... No, the full name is how strong the path of martial arts is! (Excited)

[Paimon]: The battle maniac is at it again. (Shrugs)

[Arataki Itto]: Seriously, practicing body-refining techniques will increase your appetite... I just feel like it's not very suitable for me to practice. (Frowns)

[Osial]: What's wrong with you, little brother? Can't even afford to eat? (Puzzled)

[Arataki Itto]: Hahahaha, I'm a hoodlum, after all! (Scratches head)

[Kujou Sara]: ...I suggest you go to the docks to move cargo and don't wander around the streets scaring little children.

[Tartaglia]: @[Dottore] Are you still alive? Hurry up and make a sound! (Urging)

[Baizhu]: Sorry, he just fainted again, but I found that Dottore's cell activity is about a hundred times that of an ordinary person, which means this guy might be very resistant to beating! (Funny)

[Diluc]: I don't quite understand, but looking at the situation of the basic body-refining technique, can it be considered increasing cell activity?

[Baizhu]: Yes, but not entirely. In short, the basic body-refining technique improves everything in all aspects.

[Kaeya]: I observed a knight in the video who had practiced the basic body-refining technique for eight years. His physique wasn't too burly, but he gave me a feeling... I always feel that after being approached by him, he could kill me with one punch!

[Paimon]: So, this is the reason why we're not afraid of Dottore. (Paimon? Hmph)

[Venti]: Still the same saying: Dottore comes to Mondstadt, and the Sect Leader will blow him up with one punch! (Funny).

Knowing that Dottore was mostly ill-intentioned, Jean's light purple eyes flickered with faint worry as she looked at Gu Chen and asked: "Vice Grand Master, should we refuse?"

"Refuse?"

Gu Chen rubbed his chin, pondered for a long time, and shook his head: "No need to refuse. Refusing would make us look afraid. Besides, the Fatui have many spies in the city. Let's just put these things out in the open. If he wants to come and see, let him come and see."

Seeing the confidence overflowing in Gu Chen's expression, Jean was stunned for a moment before saying: "Understood, I will write back~ immediately."

Watching Jean pondering her wording, Gu Chen said casually: "Just be formal. Don't be too pedantic—there's no need for that."

"Also."

Gu Chen remembered something and asked with concern: "You've been a bit abnormal for the past two days. Did you encounter anything?"

"Ah?"

Jean's hand holding the pen shook, and she hurriedly looked up.

She looked at herself nervously, then looked at Gu Chen blankly and asked: "Is there something wrong with me?"

"There is some dissipation of Qi and blood, but it doesn't have much impact on your strength."

Gu Chen observed Jean for a moment and then said: "Your spirit seems to be poor lately. Did you encounter any difficulties? Who is making things difficult for you?"

At the end, Gu Chen frowned with some displeasure.

Not limited to the Knights, some people who knew the composition of the Knights' higher-ups knew that Jean was Gu Chen's assistant.

How could ordinary people make things difficult for Jean?

Il Dottore didn't dare to pick on her easily after being warned last time, let alone others.

Seeing Gu Chen's concerned and puzzled look, Jean's cheeks turned red. She whispered: "N-nothing, it's—it's my own business."

"Hmm?" Gu Chen raised an eyebrow: "Is someone threatening you not to say anything? Varka wouldn't do such a thing. Could it be Lady Frederica? That shouldn't be..."

Seeing Gu Chen thinking deeper and deeper, even about to fabricate some conspiracy theory, Jean's face turned bright red. She mumbled, her voice as small as a mosquito: "It's—it's a girl's private matter..."

The voice was too small, and Gu Chen didn't deliberately try to perceive it, so he didn't hear it clearly.

Just as he was about to ask further, seeing Jean's shy appearance with her head down and blushing, Gu Chen was thoughtful. After a long while, he suddenly realized and said with concern: "I'll have the kitchen pay attention these few days. You should rest more and push the work to Diluc. That kid needs some training!"

While speaking, the water cup was in Gu Chen's hand, and the cold water had turned into warm water. After placing it on the table, Gu Chen coughed lightly: "I'm going to inspect first!"

As the words fell, Gu Chen had already gone out.

Jean reached out and held the cup of hot water, her palms and cheeks feeling a bit hot.

[Nilou]: Hehehe...

[Collei]: Hehehehe...

[Tighnari]: It's over, these two are already so excited they're about to become demented. (Tighnari? Scared)

[Kaeya]: It's a strange development, but considering Grand Master Jean's age at this time, it's reasonable.

[Jean]: @[Kaeya] Come here now, immediately, right away to receive some work! (Jean? Angry)

[Kaeya]: (Kneels) Grand Master Jean, I was just stating facts. I wasn't smearing you. Let me off! (Klee? Please)

[Diluc]: For someone like Kaeya, eighty strokes a day wouldn't be too much.

[Lisa]: Jean's face in the video must be hot enough to fry an egg by now~ (Smirk)

[Yae Miko]: Although it's an exaggerated description, I still feel it's a bit too exaggerated~ (Smirk)

[Furina]: This topic doesn't need to be discussed in public, right? (Qiqi? Observing from the shadows)

[Baizhu]: From a medical point of view, every girl will go through such a stage, every month there are those few days. Here is a warm reminder: drinking more hot water during this period helps physical health. In addition, gentlemen with partners should pay more attention to their partner's emotions during these few days. (Baizhu? Concerned)

[Paimon]: @[Gu Chen] Did you hear that? Go care for Jean!

[Gu Chen]: Should I drill into the screen to care for her? (Shrugs)

[Furina]: I think Paimon means for you to hurry to Mondstadt to care for Grand Master Jean herself! (Hu Tao? Smirk)

[Neuvillette]: (Paimon? Surprised)

[Jean]: Um... no need, the time hasn't come yet. (Dazed)

[Lisa]: Do you mean that when the time comes, you can let Mr. Gu Chen come to care for you? (Raises eyebrow)

[Jean]: I didn't, I don't, don't tease me! (Barbara? Panicked)

[Kaeya]: I understand, I understand everything!

[Lisa]: I understand, I understand everything!

[Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Ningguang]: (Hu Tao? Smirk)

Evening.

Varka returned.

"I really found that child living with the wolf pack. I estimate that he can't even tell if he's a human or a wolf." Varka said with some emotion.

"What are you going to do?" Gu Chen asked while leaning on a chair and sipping grape juice produced by the Dawn Winery.

"I originally invited him back to the City of Mondstadt, but the child wasn't very willing, so forget it. I taught him some techniques and gave him a name." Varka replied.

"What name?" Gu Chen was a little interested.

Varka replied: "Razor!"

Gu Chen said slightly surprised: "This name is not bad. A rare good level."

"What do you mean by a rare good level? My level has always been very high." Varka emphasized.

Gu Chen nodded, then said: "Dottore of the Fatui is coming soon."
