Chapter 535

Seeing this, Jean's originally somewhat anxious and nervous mood had already dissipated.

Her work ability was obvious to all, and it was only right for her to serve as the Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius.

Inspector Diluc laughed, "Now that we have Grand Master Gu Chen leading us, plus Acting Grand Master Jean handling matters big and small... it's foreseeable that Mondstadt will flourish in the future."

Cavalry Captain Kaeya nodded and said seriously, "Future development will inevitably be better, it's just the work... it might be~ more."

Everyone laughed loudly upon hearing this.

"Alright, that's decided. The appointment will be announced immediately." Gu Chen knocked on the table.

"Yes!"

Just after the meeting dispersed, he returned to the Grand Master's office.

Gu Chen said earnestly, "Jean, the feeling of shouldering a heavy burden will be very tiring, but you know, with great power comes great responsibility."

Upon hearing this, Jean took a breath and rolled her eyes, "Just say it directly if the Grand Master wants to dump any work on me."

Gu Chen was immediately happy upon hearing this.

Sure enough, Jean still understood him too well; she knew what he wanted to say as soon as he opened his mouth.

Immediately, Gu Chen coughed and said, "You are already the Acting Grand Master, you can sign many things yourself. Just tell me if it really doesn't work."

Jean said suspiciously, "Grand Master, are you trying to be a hands-off manager?"

This made Jean recall when Varka was still there.

Since Gu Chen served as Acting Grand Master, Varka had handed everything over to Gu Chen, and then Gu Chen asked her to be his assistant and handed everything over to her.

It could be said that the entire Knights' affairs had been handled by Jean since Gu Chen and Jean took their positions.

Jean handled it well and handed it to Gu Chen to sign, then Gu Chen handed it to Varka to sign last, and then some orders were issued.

From beginning to end, the person who did the most work was Jean!

Jean didn't have any complaints about this, she just felt that whether the former Grand Master or today's Grand Master, were they both a bit too lazy?!

"As Grand Master, I am the pillar of Mondstadt. I must ensure that I am strong enough, so I need a lot of time to cultivate. You can understand me, right?" Gu Chen asked seriously.

Jean nodded and then said, "So this is the excuse you plan to use to take Klee out to fish with bombs later?"

Gu Chen's expression stiffened. After looking left and right to make sure there was no one else, he asked, "How did you know?"

"I asked Klee," Jean said calmly.

"Oh wow, this little traitor."

Gu Chen laughed helplessly, then said seriously, "Anyway, I'll leave it to you."

"Mm." Jean nodded.

Gu Chen tidied up simply, and then happily went out with Klee.

【Kaeya】: I finally understand why Jean has been so busy since she started as the Sect Leader's assistant. Varka and the Sect Leader clearly intended to cultivate Jean. The purpose, well... of course, it was to make her a tool person who doesn't have to do anything and only needs to sign. (Funny)

【Venti】: Don't say it, you really don't say it. According to this situation, I can't even imagine how free the Sect Leader will be! (Funny)

【Shikanoin Heizou】: I analyzed it. If Mr. Gu Chen were really always at his post, then his contact time with Barbara would be too little... Instead, like now, he has a lot of free time, can go fishing with Klee, and of course, is always free to watch Barbara's performances, etc... His feelings for Miss Jean are clearly growing slowly over time, and as for Barbara, I'm afraid it will rise quickly too.

【Nilou】: Speaking of which, I still don't quite understand, to what extent have Miss Jean and Mr. Gu Chen's feelings reached? (Nilou: Thinking)

【Collei】: Hmm... I'm not quite sure about Mr. Gu Chen, but Miss Jean should like Mr. Gu Chen, right? She has taken him as an idol since she was a child, has read many romance novels with Mr. Gu Chen as the male lead, plus Lady Frederica's hints... I think as long as Mr. Gu Chen opens his mouth, Miss Jean will immediately fall in love. (Collei: Longing)

【Jean】: Is it really that exaggerated? (Scratches head)

【Lisa】: Yes. (Nods)

【Yae Miko】: Yes. (Nods)

【Kaeya】: I think Barbara is about the same. She also has idol components in it, and she broke the superior-subordinate concept and became friends. I feel that with more contact, as long as the Sect Leader opens his mouth, Barbara probably won't be able to run either. (Zhongli: Long Wang crooked mouth)

【Barbara】:...

【Kirara】: The only problem is that Miss Barbara is still too young!

【Nilou】: Miss Jean isn't even an adult yet, let alone Miss Barbara... Mr. Gu Chen must hold back!

【Gu Chen】:...

【Furina】: Sect Leader, are you ready? You are very likely to be sent to the trial court now. (Smirk)

【Neuvillette】: Mr. Gu Chen will most likely be sentenced, but this sentence is probably very difficult to execute.

【Kaeya】: Does that mean the Sect Leader can get away with it? (Funny)

【Yanfei】: Yes. (Spreads hands)

【Lumine】: It's okay, I will help you hold him down. (Hu Tao: Smirk)

【Guizhong】: Don't be afraid! We are already pointing fingers at him. (Video of Gu's wives surrounding Gu Chen and pointing fingers: 7s)

【Gu Chen】: I don't think I've committed any crimes. (Bald head)

【Shikanoin Heizou】: According to Miss Barbara's age, if she gets together with Mr. Gu Chen, then Mr. Gu Chen must have committed a crime! (Shikanoin Heizou: Detected)

【Kaeya】: There is no way to inform Barbara in the video to let her take the initiative quickly. As long as the Sect Leader agrees, we can send the Sect Leader to prison! (Funny)

【Furina】: Exile to the Fortress of Meropide! (Yay!)

【Wriothesley】: Miss Furina, please spare me. (Wipes sweat)

【Gu Chen】: I know you are in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry first. Don't forget where this is; this is Mondstadt! The main point is freedom. If you have anything, please find the Anemo Archon Barbatos. (Zhongli: Long Wang crooked mouth)

【Venti】: I don't think this is a big deal. It will be fine after Barbara grows for two more years. At least the Sect Leader isn't crazy enough to attack Klee, right?

【Klee】: G? But Klee also likes Brother Gu Chen. (Klee: Play with me)

【Gu Chen】: No, you can't just say that. (Wipes sweat)

【Jean】: Open the door! Knights of Favonius! (Jean: Angry)

【Nahida】: So you are that kind of person, the original Great Sage. (Shocked)

【Gu Chen】: I've had enough of a bunch of little haters, are you eating cookies! (Nahida: Pointing fingers)

【Kaeya】: You guys are too much, hating on the Sect Leader all day long. Do you know how much contribution the Sect Leader has made to Teyvat! Do you know how much sweat the Sect Leader has shed to save Teyvat! You are still hating on the Sect Leader here, you are too much! (Annoyed)

【Furina】: The one upstairs, I was watching you hate on the Sect Leader very enthusiastically before! (Furina: Happy)

【Azhdaha】: The rotten egg on the Sect Leader's face was thrown by you, kid! (Funny)

【Gu Chen】: A brilliant life will always encounter many unreasonable slanders. I know you are just envious of my excellence, you are jealous of my beautiful life. (Zhongli: Long Wang crooked mouth)

【Zhongli】: This rotten egg must be thrown today.

【Gu Chen】: (Funny)

In the blink of an eye, it's been nearly two years.

Every day since Gu Chen served as Grand Master has been very fulfilling.

Jean shares his worries about work, and there are right-hand men like Diluc and Kaeya helping, so he only needs to sign some things.

Except for the necessary cultivation, Gu Chen accompanies Klee to fish with bombs, and then they are scolded by the stern-faced Jean for playing too hard.

Grand Master's office.

Jean put her hands on her hips and pointed fingers at Gu Chen and Klee, who were lowering their heads.

"Klee is still young, so it's fine if she doesn't know better, but what's wrong with you, the Grand Master!"

"If I hadn't heard that the Grand Master was playing hard and throwing bombs around, I wouldn't even know you were so free!"

"It's fine now, the dignified Grand Master threw a bomb and broke the windmill blades, and then let Klee take the blame, and they don't even accept child labor!"

【Kaeya】: Wait! The Sect Leader played hard and committed a crime, then let Klee take the blame?! Good, good, good, the Sect Leader still knows how to play. (Thumbs up)

【Alice】: Oh my, Klee is so pitiful. (Hee hee)

【Klee】: No, Klee looks so happy. (Klee: Yay!)

【Nilou】: Sure enough, it's a kind father, a strict mother, and a little rascal, but Mr. Gu Chen committing a crime and letting Klee take the blame... (Paimon: Shocked)

【Zhongli】: It's hard to imagine this is something the Sect Leader can do, but once I think that Mondstadt is a free place, I probably know it's Venti's influence.

【Venti】: Can every pot be thrown on my head?! (Annoyed)

【Dvalin】: That's right, who let you be so free? (Funny)

Gu Chen and Klee were honestly scolded.

Jean said with a mix of anger and amusement, "The matter has been resolved, Grand Master, please don't add trouble to my work!"

"This time it was just an accident." Gu Chen curled his lips.

"Grand Master!" Jean raised her voice.

"Okay, I know." Gu Chen nodded.

After walking out of the office with Klee, the big one and the small one looked at each other.

Klee whispered, "Sister Jean is so fierce."

"Don't be afraid, I'll cover for you." Gu Chen waved his hand.

Klee blinked her eyes, nodded, and said crisply, "Brother Gu Chen is still the best, Sister Jean didn't put Klee in solitary confinement!"
