Chapter 512

【Azhdaha】: Look at this hanging look; there must be some deep meaning, but he just won't say it. @【Dvalin】Brother, let me analyze it for you. This guy specifically let you suffer pain, then let the Traveler come to help deal with the pain, then harvested a wave of reputation, and then grew because of the experience... In the end, everyone is happy, but you suffered for a few years for nothing! (Funny)

【Dvalin】: Following Barbatos is really the most regrettable thing I've done in this life! @【Gu Chen】Sect Leader, let me follow you! (Klee? Begging)

【Venti】: Sect Leader, let me follow you too! (Klee? Begging)

【Gu Chen】: You guys have been pulling for a long time just to hug my thigh. Good, good, you guys are doing this, right? (Knife)

【Zhongli】: Generally speaking, mixing with the Sect Leader means five meals a day. Does the Sect Leader have any plans to take in retired elderly people?

【Paimon】: @【Zhongli】Speaking of which, there is still a hardworking young man working at Wangshu Inn. You, the superior, are retired with peace of mind?

【Xiao】: Don't worry about me. With the Tai Xuan Scripture, the karmic debt has been suppressed, and it has even become the nutrition for me to become stronger. Protecting Dihua Marsh is also something I do voluntarily.

【Zhongli】: You should give yourself a vacation properly. (Drink tea)

【Xiao】: Yes!

【Kaeya】: Gone too far. Now Master Crepus is fine, and Dottore is dead. Snezhnaya can't come to find trouble for a short time. @【Diluc】Celebrate?

【Diluc】: 30% off all drinks at Angel's Share today.

【Venti】: Yay! Master Diluc is generous. I'm flying back from Liyue right now. Wait for me! Mwah!

【Diluc】: Idiot.

【Dvalin】: Indeed an idiot.

【Kaeya】: @【Venti】Do you have Mora? Why are you happy there?

【Venti】: Don't look down on the external guest of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, okay? The Sect Leader pays me a salary! (Zhongli? Dragon King crooked mouth)

【Diluc】: No need to run a trip. I'll send a group red envelope and treat everyone for free.

【Diluc sent a group red envelope】

【Gu Chen grabbed...】

【Venti grabbed...】

【Furina grabbed...】

【Gu Chen】: Several bottles! Thank you, boss. Wish the boss good health! (Venti? Celebrate)

【Venti】: Thank you, boss!! I'll kowtow to you! (Video of kowtowing while laughing and holding wine for 5s)

【Dvalin】: How did Mondstadt end up with such a Wind God. (Sigh)

【Jean】: Don't talk about Venti in reality; even the one in the video is... should I say it's worthy of being him? (Cover face)

In the video.

The breeze floated to the Dawn Winery and sneaked into the cellar to steal wine.

At the entrance of the manor.

The news of Varka and Gu Chen's arrival made everyone happy.

Master Crepus couldn't stop smiling.

The two most powerful men in Mondstadt came to attend his son's coming-of-age ceremony, which gave him a lot of face!

After walking into the manor, Jean hurried forward.

Seeing that Gu Chen's clothes were a bit messy and had some dark red bloodstains, her grayish-purple eyes were filled with worry.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Gu Chen shook his head.

In the battle with Dottore, he only suffered some minor injuries, and the injuries had healed themselves on the way here. Most of the bloodstains on his body were Dottore's.

Seeing Gu Chen speaking with a full breath, Jean set her mind at ease.

"Why is this little girl acting like she's worried about her lover?" Varka said with a smile.

Jean's face flushed red upon hearing this, her eyes filled with panic, and she hurriedly explained in a low voice: "I, I'm just concerned about my superior's safety!"

"Is that so?"

Varka smiled and said nothing, after all, girls are thin-skinned.

Frederica was also not far away, and she looked at Gu Chen with even more satisfaction.

Such a powerful man gives people a sense of security. Entrusting Jean to such a child is the perfect choice!

"I must find an opportunity to talk to Jean properly." Frederica decided in her heart.

A group of nobles also took the opportunity to come forward and talk to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen responded with a smile.

Diluc came forward and asked: "Vice Grand Master, how should Eroch be handled?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

Eroch was, after all, a high-ranking member of the Knights and held the position of Inspector General.

Who could have thought that this Inspector General had actually betrayed the Knights?

Gu Chen said without hesitation: "Things that abandon the wind will not even have their souls guided by the wind. Behead him and throw him into the sea to feed the fish."

"Yes!"

Diluc took the order, personally beheaded Eroch and his accomplices, and then had people take them to be thrown into the sea to feed the fish.

【Kaeya】: Diluc killed him personally? So satisfying! It can be considered revenge for foster father in another way. After all, this beast covered up foster father's merit of forcing back the magic dragon!

【Diluc】: Satisfying.

【Nilou】: Did you notice that the worry in Jean's eyes was about to solidify!

【Collei】: I saw it! Jean is like a wife waiting for her husband to return from the battlefield, not caring about her husband's merits, only worried about whether her husband is injured! Good, I've shipped it! (Klee? Yay)

【Furina】: Lady Frederica's look is even more satisfied. I feel like if the Sect Leader becomes her son-in-law, she will be overjoyed. (Smirk)

【Kaeya】: Let me analyze Jean's psychological journey for everyone—Jean before the Sect Leader arrived was anxious: The battle over there is so fierce; is he okay? He will definitely be okay, right? He is so powerful... Jean after the Sect Leader arrived: He has so many bloodstains on him! He must not be okay! After checking: Yay, he's really okay, that's great!

【Jean】:? Is it that exaggerated? (?)

【Lisa】: It is!

【Nilou】: It is!

【Yae Miko】: Hmm~

【Jean】:...

Is it really like what Kaeya said?

Jean thought about it; maybe it really was.

"Vice Grand Master, do you want to change your clothes?" Diluc tried to say after looking at the bloodstained clothes on Gu Chen.

"Hmm?"

Gu Chen pondered for two seconds and then nodded: "That's fine."

Diluc was half a year older than him, and there wasn't much difference in their build. Soon, Gu Chen changed into a set of clothes Diluc hadn't worn yet.

Noble clothes are particular. Once worn, Gu Chen's temperament changed, as gentle, elegant, and handsome as a noble young master.

The guests praised him one after another.

Gu Chen waved his hand with a smile: "Eh, don't put your attention on me. Today is our Dawn Knight's coming-of-age ceremony."

Everyone laughed upon hearing this and turned to praise Diluc again.

Barbara, who was following Simon, looked somewhat petite.

She secretly scrutinized Gu Chen.

If Diluc is the new star of the Knights, then Gu Chen is the most dazzling sun of the entire Knights.

The Church of Favonius is under the jurisdiction of the Knights (Jean said so in her voice lines for Barbara), so Barbara had naturally heard too many legends about Vice Grand Master Gu Chen.

If the vast majority of people in the Knights regard Gu Chen as an object of worship, then Barbara is no exception.

Just now, Gu Chen walked in, his trench coat stained with blood, looking like a victorious general returning from the battlefield, his momentum fierce...

Now that he had changed his clothes, he was like a big brother next door, his aura making people feel comfortable and peaceful.

Barbara lowered her head and glanced at the symbol of the Church.

She was thinking, during wartime, she could only help the wounded in logistics. If only she could follow him to the battlefield.

Then she would definitely be able to see the heroic posture of the Vice Grand Master, who was as dazzling as the sun, on the battlefield, right?

"Barbara?"

Simon called out softly.

Barbara's scattered gaze refocused: "Father?"

"What are you thinking about?" Simon was somewhat puzzled.

"N-nothing." Barbara shook her head.
