Chapter 376

Gu Chen: "..."

There's really no need to think so highly of me.

Gu Chen asked: "Is it too late to move out of the shrine now?"

"It's too late."

Kitsune Saigu shook her head.

"Fine, I owe you guys from my past life." Gu Chen bared his teeth.

"No, you owe us in this life too." Raiden Makoto nodded.

"Sigh, my life is bitter."

Gu Chen raised his hand to his forehead.

"Let's go, I'll take you back first to continue familiarizing yourself with shrine affairs!" Kitsune Saigu said.

"Alright."

Knowing he couldn't hide, Gu Chen nodded and agreed.

【Nilou】: How come it feels... like Miss Makoto and Miss Kitsune Saigu have predicted future events? It's like they're giving final instructions! (Paimon: Shocked)

【Collei】: Ah?! If you hadn't said it, I wouldn't have reacted. This, this, this... Miss Makoto leaves and Miss Ei takes over, Kitsune Saigu leaves and Miss Yae takes over, and Mikoshi Chiyo follows them too... leaving only Miss Ei, Yae Miko, and Mr. Gu Chen... If we set aside Mr. Gu Chen, it matches the history of this life perfectly! (Collei: No response)

【Tighnari】: It's not that they predicted future events; it's that we, from an omniscient perspective, think they knew everything that would happen. In reality, it's not like that. If they knew in advance, I think Miss Makoto would have already started teaching Miss Ei the way of governance, but she hasn't started teaching her yet, so she likely doesn't predict future events; she just really plans to travel with Kitsune Saigu, although it does look like giving final instructions. (Tighnari: Shocked)

【Kamisato Ayaka】: If you replace traveling with falling, it becomes very clear. (Kamisato Ayaka: Dazed)

【Paimon】: Is everyone in this issue destined to fall? (Paimon: Shocked)

【Kaeya】: Sect Leader! Rise up, Sect Leader! (Shout)

【Venti】: I don't think it'll work. The Sect Leader has many restrictions in this issue, and overusing that curse power will cause the Sect Leader to die, so this issue is mostly filled with tragedy. (Sigh)

【Gu Chen】: Can you blame me for this?

【Raiden Ei】: This can't be blamed on brother-in-law; it only shows that brother-in-law's strength in this issue isn't enough, and too many things cannot be changed. (Raiden Ei: Reclusive)

【Seeing Zhongli】: Generally speaking, that is indeed the case. To change more, one needs more powerful strength; the Sect Leader's strength in this issue is clearly not enough. (Seeing Zhongli: Drinking tea)

【Kujou Sara】: From the current perspective, we can only let nature take its course.

【Shikanoin Heizou】: I still hope Mr. Gu Chen can hold on; with his power, he could hold on for hundreds of years, as long as there are no accidents. (Pray)

【Lumine】: @【Prince】 Carry the blame first! (Funny)

【Prince】: What does this have to do with me? (Annoyed)

【Dainsleif】: Generally speaking, Venti is right. People like you standing in the shadows will lead to disaster; whether you did it or not, just carry the blame first.

【Kaeya】: Carry it, buddy! (Funny)

【Prince】: Alright, alright, that's how you want to play it? @【Kaeya】 Don't think I don't know, you orphan of the Khaenri'ah royal court! (Nahida: Pointing fingers)

【Jean】:?

【Lisa】: Oh my? Kaeya's identity is so complicated? (Chuckles)

【Kaeya】: It's ruined, exposed. (Spread hands)

【Diluc】: I knew it long ago.

【Jean】: Senior Diluc knew it long ago, which means Kaeya isn't bad and is worth trusting. (Nod)

【Kaeya】: Hehe! (Seeing Zhongli: Dragon King crooked mouth)

【Nilou】: Ah, I'm still so worried about Miss Ei. Can Mr. Kaeya talk about the past of Khaenri'ah? @【Kaeya】

【Kaeya】: I don't know either; didn't I say I'm an orphan? What could I possibly know? I just know I carry the hatred for the seven nations, and then I'm a spy in Mondstadt, but I clearly don't want to do this job, and that's it. (Spread hands)

【Dainsleif】: Can people really not be affected by the deep hatred in their bloodline?

【Kaeya】: I have never experienced what you have experienced. I grew up in Mondstadt since I was a child. Dealing with Mondstadt is a betrayal of Mondstadt, and not dealing with Mondstadt is a betrayal of my bloodline, so I can only pretend I don't see anything. (Qiqi: Fall)

【Gu Chen】: Don't talk about these unclear topics; in short, brother Kaeya is worth trusting. (Funny)

【Venti】: The Sect Leader has spoken; how bad can someone who can cultivate the Tai Xuan Scripture be? (Convinced)

【Dvalin】: I discovered that the Tai Xuan Scripture has loopholes, actually allowing someone like Venti to cultivate it! (Funny)

【Venti】: Don't smear me; Mondstadt is full of my achievements. (Funny)

While everyone was chatting and flooding the group.

In the video.

Mount Yougou, Grand Narukami Shrine.

In the open space behind the shrine, Raiden Ei was guiding Gu Chen in swordplay.

The little Yae fox's intelligence wasn't high, but it could understand human speech.

Kitsune Saigu told it that it had to shoulder the responsibility of making Raiden Ei happy.

If it made her happy, there would be fried tofu to eat.

Coaxed and deceived, the little Yae fox was soon fooled.

Raiden Ei, who was supervising Gu Chen's sword practice, was soon amused by the silly little fox.

As a reward, Kitsune Saigu really gave the little Yae fox a piece of fried tofu to eat.

"Don't just sit there laughing silly; I'm telling you, you'll have to learn how to govern a country later."

Gu Chen said to Raiden Ei while practicing swordplay.

Raiden Ei's smile stiffened, and then she said gloomily: "I don't want to learn."

"How can there be a question of wanting to or not?"

"Ei, you wouldn't want your sister to be so tired, right? It's time to share some work with your sister!"

Gu Chen said with a smile.

Raiden Ei didn't speak, her face full of worry.

How could Miss Shogun, who only knew martial arts, have ever thought about governing a country?

Just thinking about it made her scalp tingle.

"Ei, whether Makoto and my travel plan can succeed depends on you." Kitsune Saigu's expression was solemn.

That feeling was as if some heavy responsibility was being handed to Raiden Ei, leaving her at a loss.

She really didn't want to learn.

Raiden Ei resisted: "Isn't there A-Chen? Just leave it to him; he's quite smart."

"No, A-Chen can assist you, but he won't lead." Kitsune Saigu shook her head.

If you want to know who understands Gu Chen best, it's Kitsune Saigu.

Kitsune Saigu understood Gu Chen too well; he was the laziest one.

If it weren't for the pressure from Raiden Ei, Gu Chen probably wouldn't even bother practicing swordplay.

Noticing Kitsune Saigu's gaze, Gu Chen shrugged.

Isn't the life of slacking off good?

Even if Raiden Ei handed the heavy responsibility to him, he wouldn't accept it.

Don't ask; asking means he's not good at governing.

"Alright."

Raiden Ei accepted it very helplessly.

What else could she do if she didn't accept it?

Kitsune Saigu's mouth was full of endless logic; Raiden Ei was soon talked into a daze.

Rather than being convinced by logic in the end, it was better to accept this result early.

"Practice swordplay with A-Chen in the morning, and go find your sister to learn governance in the afternoon." Kitsune Saigu made the arrangements.

"Mhm."

Raiden Ei nodded unhappily.

"Don't be unhappy; I prepared a dessert for you before you came." Gu Chen put away his sword and laughed.

"G!"

Raiden Ei was stunned, then her mood recovered a bit: "You're still the best!"

"That's for sure." Gu Chen accepted Raiden Ei's praise as a matter of course.

Kitsune Saigu's gaze shifted between Gu Chen and Raiden Ei, and she suddenly asked: "When are you two getting together?"

"Hmm?"

Not only was Gu Chen stunned, but Raiden Ei, who was eating the dessert, was also stunned.
