Chapter 504

"Don't worry, I'll arrange it for him then." Varka smiled.

"I almost forgot that our Vice Grand Master hasn't come of age yet. You're not even of age yet; you lad must work hard to catch up to the Vice Grand Master's footsteps." Crepus laughed.

"I will definitely work hard!" Diluc nodded.

He knew the gap between himself and Gu Chen was too large, but Diluc's personality was not one to give up. Even if he couldn't surpass him, he would strive not to be left too far behind.

Jean, hearing Crepus's words, was thoughtful. She glanced slightly at Gu Chen, who was standing with his hands behind his back.

The wind blew on Gu Chen, his clothes fluttering.

The young man, a head taller than her and two years older, had a face full of indifference, as if he would remain calm even if the sky fell.

After a few years of getting along, besides the nervousness and excitement of working with her idol at the beginning, Jean had gradually come to understand him quite well.

Actually, when she was fighting that Mirror Maiden earlier, he looked very calm, but in reality, he must have been somewhat worried in his heart, right?

Based on Jean's understanding of Gu Chen, she was basically certain!

"What are you looking at?"

Gu Chen turned his head to look at Jean, who had been staring at him, and after putting the document in her arms, he instructed: "Distribute it yourself later."

"Oh."

Jean blinked.

Frederica stood to the side with a smile on her face.

As a mother, she understood her daughter very well.

Jean was not weak like the daughters of ordinary families; she was very strong, and the path in her heart was very firm.

However, even a female knight with a heart of steel had times when she was a young girl in love.

Frederica, as a mother, had experience with these things. The current Jean was just like she had been back then.

However...

Frederica glanced at Gu Chen, who was talking to Varka and Master Crepus, and smiled slightly.

If this child were with Jean in the future, he shouldn't repeat the mistakes she and Simon made.

【Shikanoin Heizou】: Lady Frederica's look is completely that of a mother-in-law looking at a son-in-law; the more she looks, the more satisfied she is. (Hu Tao? Smirk)

【Cloud Retainer】: Hmm, it's the same feeling as this immortal looking at Gu Chen!

【Paimon】: Cloud Retainer, you'd better pray that there won't be a time when you're not the female lead. When that time comes, it'll be too late for you to clear your relationship with Ganyu! (Funny)

【Cloud Retainer】: Nonsense! How is that possible!

【Xiao】: It's not impossible...

【Cloud Retainer】: Xiao, how could even you!! (Annoyed)

【Xiao】: Just imitating the Lord.

This pot is being thrown on my head?

【Seeing Zhongli】:...

【Lisa】: Jean's heart is stirred. (Smirk)

【Klee】: Wow! If Brother Gu Chen manages Acting Grand Master Jean in the future, will Klee be free? (Klee? Yay)

【Jean】:... @【Klee】Don't think you can get out of solitary confinement just like that!

【Klee】: Woo.

【Shikanoin Heizou】: Let's talk about the video plot. According to my analysis, Dottore only wants to obtain the advanced body-refining technique through the elites of the Knights—either by capturing one and torturing them, or by luring them with profit! But knights who have passed the Knights' tests clearly don't fall for this, and they might even pass on wrong information. If Dottore wants to obtain the most accurate advanced body-refining technique, he can only obtain it through the Sect Leader.

First, it might be at Mr. Diluc's coming-of-age ceremony. There is an 80% probability it will be held at the Dawn Winery, away from the Knights. Dottore could launch a surprise attack and force the Sect Leader to hand it over, but this probability is too low; Dottore shouldn't do that.

Second, the Fatui might have many arrangements within Mondstadt City, and some important facilities are likely being watched. Dottore is very likely to threaten the Sect Leader with the property and lives of the citizens of Mondstadt, forcing the Sect Leader to make concessions!

【Jean】:!!!

【Azhdaha】: It's unlikely the Sect Leader will make concessions, right?

【Seeing Zhongli】: The Sect Leader is currently the Vice Grand Master of the Knights and shoulders too much; it's hard to say what his choice will be. The key is whether he can break Dottore's plan.
