Chapter 487

Young, polite, and with enough knightly demeanor, Varka nodded secretly, the smile on his face became more enthusiastic, and he hurriedly said: "What a good child!"

Gu Chen also looked at Jean seriously.

Before coming here, he had already heard from Varka that Jean was ten years old this year.

In her gray-purple eyes, there was respect for him and Varka. Her long golden hair with naturally curly ends was combed into a ponytail with a bow tied at the back. Two bundles of golden hair hung down naturally from both sides of her cheeks. Wearing a white-toned knight uniform on her young body, she really looked like a little knight.

Whether looking at her physique or etiquette, no faults could be picked out.

She was truly worthy of being the girl Frederica had selected from a young age to be cultivated as the successor to the knightly path.

Gu Chen was looking at Jean, and Jean was also looking at Gu Chen.

Although she had always been in the family, she often heard about the deeds of this Deputy Grand Master.

Becoming an official knight at a young age, granted the title of Knight at eight, and becoming the Grand Instructor of the Knights.

It was said that his strength was unfathomable, and at the same time, he was also a presence with dazzling achievements in the Knights.

Twelve years old, achieving what many people couldn't achieve at twenty or even thirty!

There was worship in the eyes of the young little girl.

【Nilou】: Hehe! Upon first meeting, Miss Jean has already been attracted by Mr. Gu Chen, who is so excellent that he glows! (Yay)

【Collei】: Little brother Gu Chen is so excellent that his whole body is glowing. Miss Jean is still a little sister now. Both of them are knights, and the age gap is not big. It's too easy to just worship him directly! (Collei? Longing)

【Kirara】: Please fast-forward to "Mr. Idol Falls in Love with Me"! (Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry)

【Jean】:...

【Barbara】: The worship in the eyes of the ten-year-old sister is really obvious... (Paimon? Surprised)

【Kaeya】: Normal. Diluc, who was promoted to Cavalry Captain at twelve, also had visible worship for the Sect Leader, let alone Jean, this little girl. (Funny)

【Amber】: Mr. Gu Chen has not been like a brat since he was young; he has always been strong and reliable. It is normal for such a boy to be attractive! Not to mention he also has dazzling achievements! (Worshipful starry eyes)

【Keqing】: Analyzing things as they are is completely understandable. Putting myself in her shoes, even if it were me at this moment, I would definitely worship Mr. Gu Chen. It's just that the strange thing is actually: we know Miss Jean after she grows up. (Covering face)

【Lisa】: Thinking of Jean after she grows up, and comparing her with Jean in the video, it's normal to feel a bit subtle. (Smirking)

【Jean】: That, even if it's me now, I also think Mr. Gu Chen's contribution is very great, and he is an extremely excellent knight. (Jean? Praising)

【Azhdaha】: Sometimes, the gap between people is even greater than the gap between people and dogs!

【Kaeya】: Who are you pointing at? (Nahida? Pointing fingers)

【Osial】: Don't open a map cannon! Although I am a god, I also feel hurt! (Annoyed)

Varka looked at Jean and asked: "Are you willing to join the Knights of Favonius now?"

Jean turned to look at her mother.

Frederica said softly: "Follow your own thoughts."

Hearing this, Jean turned to look at Varka, and with a firm nod on her still immature little face, she said: "I am willing!"

"Good child!" Varka's smile became even brighter, and then he looked at Frederica and joked: "This child is only ten years old. If I take her to the Knights now, will the Lady blame me?"

"The Grand Master doesn't need to test me. The Gunnhildr family exists to protect Mondstadt forever. Although she is young, she can also contribute to Mondstadt. Besides, does the Grand Master think she will never come back after he takes her away? There will be holidays, right?" Frederica asked back with a smile.

Varka nodded immediately: "Of course there will be holidays!"

"Not in a hurry to leave, right?" Frederica asked.

"The Lady wants to keep us for lunch? That couldn't be better." Varka laughed.

Frederica smiled and gave a few instructions to the maid, then said: "Inviting the contemporary Grand Master and Deputy Grand Master to eat at home, I hope it won't be distorted when it gets out."

"Every Mondstadter knows the family style of the Gunnhildr family, so there won't be any misunderstanding." Varka waved his hand, then said to Gu Chen: "Try the lunch at a noble's house today."

Gu Chen nodded without saying much.

Time soon reached noon.

The lunch of the Gunnhildr family was not too extravagant, with both meat and vegetables, just in larger quantities than ordinary families.

After lunch, Varka and Gu Chen said goodbye, and took Jean and a group of young people from the Gunnhildr family with them.

Back to the Knights.

Varka said: "Jean, from today on, you will serve as the Deputy Grand Master's assistant. He will arrange your work for you."

Little Jean looked at Gu Chen, who was more than a head taller than her, and nodded heavily: "Yes!"

"You go arrange Jean's accommodation and take her to get familiar with the Knights," Varka arranged.

"Um."

Gu Chen nodded and left with Jean.

There are quite a few female knights in the Knights of Favonius, and Gu Chen arranged a single dormitory room for Jean.

Although Jean was only ten years old, it was clear that she could take good care of herself, so Gu Chen didn't need to worry too much.

After getting familiar with the accommodation, perhaps because she discovered that Gu Chen was not so serious along the way, Jean gathered the courage to ask: "Deputy Grand Master, what will my work be in the future?"

Gu Chen slowed down and replied: "Handling government affairs, as well as necessary knight training, etc."

"What if there is work I don't know how to handle?" Jean tightened her little face, a bit nervous.

Gu Chen paused, stood in place for a moment, and then spread his hands: "There are many things I don't know how to do either, so I can't teach you, but it doesn't matter. Just hand it over to Varka."

That indifferent attitude left Jean stunned.

She had originally thought that if she didn't know how to do something, Gu Chen might guide her, but she didn't expect that he wouldn't know either, and even said bluntly to just hand it over to Varka.

The filter of the omnipotent idol seemed to have shattered.

"Relax, even gods have shortcomings in the world. If you don't know, ask; if you don't know, learn. As long as you are willing to ask for advice, you will always learn," Gu Chen comforted.

Jean nodded, feeling it made sense, and then asked: "Then did the Deputy Grand Master not learn how to handle internal affairs?"

As soon as she asked, Jean anticipated that she had asked the wrong thing, and her little face tightened even more nervously.

"Good question."

Gu Chen said as a matter of course: "Because I don't want to learn, that's why you are serving as my assistant."

So that's how it is?

Jean suddenly realized.

Frederica's original arrangement for her was to send her into the Knights after training for two more years. She didn't expect it to be two years early.

The reason lies in the fact that the Deputy Grand Master doesn't want to handle government affairs?

"I understand, I will serve as your assistant well!" Jean nodded seriously with her little face.

"Um, I think highly of you." Gu Chen nodded.

Having been with Varka for a long time, his ability to trick people had improved. Gu Chen could say things that made people full of motivation right off the bat.

For a moment, Jean felt a bit dizzy. Being praised by Gu Chen, thoughts like the Knights couldn't do without her and she was very important to the Knights suddenly arose. Following that was a sense of excitement and agitation, and she only felt that her heart was already burning.

This symptom was called being tricked into a limp by Gu Chen.

But Jean was indeed very happy. Protecting Mondstadt forever was not a slogan of the Gunnhildr family; this sentence required everyone in the family to take action, and Jean would be no exception.

No matter what the work was, as long as it was beneficial to Mondstadt, Jean would do it.

And Gu Chen had a great influence on children like Jean.

Not just Jean, including children of this age and younger, regardless of whether their dream was to become a knight, Gu Chen was already a figure praised by parents and worshipped by children in Mondstadt.

Being arranged to work by an idol and being praised by an idol, this sense of excitement was hard to explain.

After taking Jean to get familiar with the Knights, Gu Chen took her to the office.

His original office as Grand Instructor had been changed into the Deputy Grand Master's office.

"Okay!" Jean nodded.

"Let's go, you still have training."

This time period happened to be when new recruits of the Knights were taking the exam and undergoing new recruit training.

Even if Jean and others had already received knight training, they couldn't skip this link, because since Gu Chen took office as Grand Instructor, trainee knights all had to learn basic Body-Refining Arts at this stage.

When Gu Chen brought Jean to the training ground, Diluc was also there.

"Deputy Grand Master!" Diluc greeted.

"You are not leading the cavalry training but are here. Did your brother enter the Knights?" Gu Chen was a bit surprised.

"Yes!" Diluc nodded with a smile, pointing to a dark-skinned youth with an eye patch in the distance.

Gu Chen nodded and then said: "He looks like a good seed."

Diluc smiled and noticed Jean, asking: "Who is this?"

"My assistant." Gu Chen replied and then said: "Jean, join the team."

"Yes!"

Jean nodded and joined the new recruit team.
