Varka shook his head repeatedly, then smiled and said: "Kid, grow up quickly. Once you have enough strength and reputation, hehe, this position is yours!"

Saying this, Varka seemed to see that day, his face full of joy.

"I don't know internal affairs." Gu Chen shook his head.

Varka paused and said: "Also, people are never perfect... But it doesn't matter."

Varka just pondered for a moment and said: "Do you know about the Gunnhildr family?"

"Gunnhildr family... do you mean the divorce between Lady Frederica and Bishop Simon?" Gu Chen recalled and asked.

"Uh-huh."

Varka nodded, then said: "The Gunnhildr family is one of the three great noble families in Mondstadt. Lady Frederica's first daughter is given the surname Gunnhildr, and they are cultivating that little girl named Jean."

"Jean?"

Gu Chen thought for a moment and said: "What necessary connection does this have with the topic we are talking about?"

"Of course there is!"

Varka smiled and said: "I have visited the Gunnhildr family several times. Do you know that the child has been very resilient since she was a child? She is a good seedling for being a knight. Whether in terms of character or ability, her future can definitely go very high!"

Gu Chen frowned and pondered for a moment, suddenly realizing: "So you mean it doesn't matter that I don't know internal affairs, meaning she will assist me in the future?"

"That's why I say you're smart, you figured it out." Varka nodded slightly.

"Can the Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius still be a hands-off manager?" Gu Chen rubbed his immature chin and pondered.

"Who says it's not possible?"

Varka giggled, proudly saying: "Look at me, I sit here all day, what do you think I handled? Actually, I just look at it casually."

Gu Chen didn't pay attention to him upon hearing this.

How could someone who could become a contemporary legend of the Knights be like what he said in his own mouth?

"Alright, after lunch, I will summon the Knights to officially appoint you!" Varka's expression became serious.

"Good." Gu Chen nodded.

After lunch.

Knights' training ground.

The Knights under Varka's rule can be described as strong and sturdy.

The knights with straight figures, determined expressions, and shining eyes were arranged into neat phalanxes.

Varka brought Gu Chen to the high platform.

"Everyone may have heard, or may not be clear, this child was picked up by me under the guidance of the Anemo Archon. He is favored by the Anemo Archon and has brought new vitality to the Knights!"

"I think those who are well-informed may already know. Eight years old, killed an Abyss Mage with two swords, enough to prove the strength of this child, right?"

"How did he do it?"

"Now, what you will come into contact with is the secret of the Knights, the opportunity brought by the Anemo Archon, the dawn on the road of life!"

【Kaeya】: Tsk tsk, looking at it, they are all elites of the Knights.

【Diluc】: Undoubtedly, Varka doesn't want to spread the body-refining technique too widely.

【Paimon】: Why describe Boss Gu's merit as the guidance of the Anemo Archon? (Paimon? Shocked)

【Shikanoin Heizou】: Don't understand, right? This is actually putting a halo on Gu Chen. With this halo, those who want to target Gu Chen have to weigh it. This halo can clear many obstacles for Gu Chen. (Shikanoin Heizou? Not bad for me)

【Dvalin】: I spit, letting some Anemo Archon who doesn't do his job pick up the credit. (Annoyed)

【Venti】: No way! People with clear eyes know it's the Sect Leader's contribution. The reason it's said to be the Anemo Archon's favor... do you understand politics? (Funny)

【Arataki Itto】: Too complicated!

【Navia】: Being an official, you have to have a set of rhetoric, you understand, right?

【Jean】: No matter what, the benefits that Grand Master Varka can bring to Mr. Gu Chen by doing this are indeed quite a few. In a short time, his status is more stable, but to have the young me in the video handle government affairs... has his planning reached such a point... (Paimon? Shocked)

【Lumine】: Young Jean: Who understands! The contemporary legend of the Knights started calculating me when I was only a few years old!

【Kaeya】: Apt!

"Now, officially grant Gu Chen the title of Morning Star Knight!"

The title of Morning Star was requested by Gu Chen himself.

Morning Star is the star of the morning, a bright star seen in the eastern sky before sunrise, also known as the Morning Star.

Morning Star Knight means a knight who illuminates the road ahead and leads the way.

After this meaning was known by Varka, he agreed decisively.

"Appoint Morning Star Knight Gu Chen as the Chief Instructor of the Knights of Favonius!"

As Varka announced, the elite knights of Favonius below applauded one after another.

Varka is a contemporary legend of the Knights, and his status in the hearts of the knights is very high, and his decision also made the knights have no objections.

Furthermore, Gu Chen's record, the Anemo Archon's favor, and the body-refining technique were all moved out by Varka. The knights not only had no objections but were also very looking forward to the changes brought by Gu Chen as Chief Instructor.

Gu Chen didn't let them down either, and immediately started demonstrating and teaching.

Varka watched from the side and nodded secretly.

The position of Chief Instructor of the Knights of Favonius already belongs to the high level within the Knights.

But Varka thought it wasn't enough.

Moreover, Gu Chen's age was still a bit too young.

"Age doesn't matter, as long as the merit is dazzling enough."

Varka narrowed his eyes.

Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew across the training ground, and then cyan light surrounded Gu Chen, and the wind suddenly accelerated and became more fierce.

Then they saw an Anemo Vision appear in Gu Chen's hand.

"He has a Vision just like that? Too outrageous!"

"Sure enough, he is a child favored by the Anemo Archon!"

The knights were dumbfounded and then discussed it.

Varka was stunned.

【Azhdaha】: The cow I just blew suddenly came true. (Hu Tao? Smirk)

【Kaeya】: Varka: He is favored by the Anemo Archon, I just said it casually, but the Anemo Archon really favored him?!

【Dvalin】: Fine, I'm very relieved that the Sect Leader is in charge of the Knights. Barbatos finally did a human thing.

【Venti】: People with clear eyes can see that letting the Sect Leader enter the Knights is a good thing. I'm not blind, of course I can see it. (Venti? G hehe)

【Osial】: Alright, with the Anemo Archon's endorsement, if the Sect Leader's life was galloping on a horse before, now it's directly growing wings and flying. (Paimon? Shocked)

【Tartaglia】: It's rare to see Mr. Gu Chen favored by a god in this issue. (Tartaglia? Shocked)

【Lyney】: Actually, I think even if the Anemo Archon doesn't favor Mr. Gu Chen, it doesn't seem to have any impact. He was so fierce at eight, doubling it to sixteen... those who understand understand, right?

【Furina】: Kill the Anemo Archon, take the position yourself! (Klee? Charge)

【Dvalin】: Must support!

【Seeing Zhongli】: The path is wild, but it's hard not to support.

【Venti】: No, I just gave the Sect Leader favor! (Slapping table)

【Gu Chen】: (Picks nose)

Afternoon.

The Knights' off-duty time.

Varka sized up Gu Chen for a long time before saying: "It really is the Anemo Archon's favor..."

Gu Chen raised his hand, and a cyan wind vortex appeared in his hand, saying: "Not bad power, it should be able to play a little role at critical moments."

"A little role?" Varka rolled his eyes and said: "You have to be clear about the difference between elemental power and the Anemo Archon's favor. If this power gets stronger, you'll become an Anemo Archon follower!"

"That's not what I want." Gu Chen shook his head.

Varka shrugged: "Maybe the Anemo Archon knows what you want, so he didn't give it to you?"

"Who knows?"

Gu Chen shook his head, then said: "The introductory body-refining technique has been passed on to them. In about three months, their physical fitness will improve significantly."

Varka nodded, then said earnestly: "Remember, the more advanced the body-refining technique, the more it must be preserved, and it cannot be passed on to others casually."

"Of course I know." Gu Chen nodded.

The body-refining technique is not just a single body-refining method, but a collective term for a range.

The one Gu Chen cultivates is naturally the best and strongest, and the one he gave Varka is the same, but the one he taught the Knights of Favonius is the most basic. Wait until they stabilize, then teach the advanced ones, and wait until they make outstanding contributions before giving the profound ones.

On one hand, it prevents leakage to the enemy, and on the other hand, it allows the entire Knights to move forward steadily.

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.
