Chapter 525

After making a wish, he took a deep breath and blew out the candles.

"Oh roar! Now it's the real cake-cutting time!" Diluc stepped forward with the small knife again.

"What wish did Brother Gu Chen make?" Klee asked curiously, blinking her eyes.

Kaeya shook his head and said, "Little Klee, if you say the wish out loud, it won't come true~"

"Oh~!"

Klee realized suddenly, then said seriously with a small face, "Brother Gu Chen, you must not say it out loud, otherwise it won't come true!"

"Mm, okay." Gu Chen nodded with a smile.

"Vice Grand Master, here!" Diluc put the small knife into Gu Chen's hand.

Next was the happy time of cutting and distributing the cake.

【Nilou】: Happy birthday, Mr. Gu Chen~! (Nilou: Popping up)

【Collei】: Watching little brother Gu Chen grow up to become an adult with my own eyes! (Klee: Yay!)

【Kirara】: Except for not seeing Mr. Gu Chen's birth, I almost grew up with him! Mr. Gu Chen is an adult now! Congratulations! (Venti: Celebrating)

【Azhdaha】: The Sect Leader is quite handsome today.

【Seeing Zhongli】: Indeed, his looks are not below mine.

【Venti】: The person above has really thick skin.

【Furina】: Happy birthday, Sect Leader, give me a piece of cake! (Reaches out)

【Gu Chen】: (Photo of empty hands)

【Paimon】: I really want to know what wish Boss Gu made! (Curious)

【Raiden Makoto】: If you say it out loud, it won't come true~

【Raiden Ei】: Want to eat cake. (Hungry)

【Shikanoin Heizou】: After the coming-of-age ceremony, it's the next stage of Mr. Gu Chen's life. I can already foresee the brilliant Knights of Favonius in the future. (Paimon: Surprised)

【Kaeya】: The Knights in the video have already taken off, the Knights in reality have already crashed. (Funny)

【Jean】: (Jean: Bitter smile)

【Diluc】: You should have seen it; the Sect Leader was not troubled by meaningless trifles during his tenure.

【Jean】: I understand.

Soon.

Varka walked over with a simple long box.

"You are an adult now, and you will shoulder more responsibilities."

While speaking, Varka opened the long box, and inside was a long sword with a unique shape.

"My god, Aquila Favonia!"

"Is that the sword of the former Liontooth Knight?!"

"Yes!"

Taking out the Aquila Favonia, everyone present could feel a wonderful feeling from it.

Having gone through a thousand years, it seemed to still be calling for someone who could raise the wind of justice and exorcise evil, just like the heroine who wielded this sword before.

Gu Chen took the Aquila Favonia from Varka's hand.

A faint wind blew from nowhere, getting bigger and bigger, wrapping Gu Chen and the Aquila Favonia.

The wind gradually turned into cyan light, circling around Gu Chen, like stars surrounding the moon.

The seemingly violent wind was actually very gentle.

Gu Chen, with his clothes fluttering, stood still holding the Aquila Favonia, his expression carrying a hint of surprise.

"This is the Anemo Archon's blessing!" Simon exclaimed after being stunned.

"The Vice Grand Master was blessed by the Anemo Archon a long time ago, right? This is the second time!"

"It seems the Anemo Archon thinks highly of the Vice Grand Master!"

"May the Anemo Archon protect the Vice Grand Master."

The Anemo Archon Barbatos hadn't bestowed blessings and miracles for a long, long time.

The last time he bestowed a blessing was for Gu Chen, and this time, it was still Gu Chen!

"Truly a favorite of the wind." Varka sighed.

In the crowd, Venti, holding a cake in one hand and good wine from the Dawn Winery in the other, blinked.

Gu Chen's gaze swept over and met his eyes. The braids hanging down Venti's temples were glowing with a faint cyan light.

"G-hee~"

After showing a smile, Venti stuffed the cake into his mouth and quietly disappeared, holding several bottles of wine with both hands.

【Kaeya】: Wherever there is wine, there is Venti!

【Keqing】: Mr. Venti didn't just come to drink, he came to stand for Mr. Gu Chen, indicating that the Anemo Archon is also supporting him, making his already unbreakable status even more solid. (Paimon: Surprised)

【Paimon】: Boss Gu can walk sideways in Mondstadt now, right? (Paimon: Surprised)

【Kaeya】: Too small, your perspective is too small. He could walk sideways in Mondstadt as early as when he was eight. As for now, even if the Sect Leader walked upside down in Mondstadt, a bunch of people would think the Sect Leader had deep meaning in doing so.

【Seeing Zhongli】: Walking upside down? The Sect Leader must have some serious illness if he does that.

【Furina】: Just like your faked death? (Funny)

【Seeing Zhongli】: Spare me, stop whipping the corpse.

Varka looked at the scene of Gu Chen being protected by the wind and sighed, "This heavy responsibility can be handed over to you. I also have my own things to do."

【Navia】: Looks like Varka is preparing to abdicate? Then Mr. Gu Chen can be the Grand Master, right? (Paimon: Surprised)

【Furina】: Grand Master ×! Emperor of Mondstadt √!

――【?】【thunderjim】【Wushirenfei】【Da Qin Ying Yu】【Huizhazha】 Thank you, big bosses, for the monthly tickets!! (Venti: Scattering flowers) Begging.
