The golden patterns on the photo spread out and outlined Gu Chen's signature.

"This is the only chance. Don't disturb me from finding my wife to fall in love next time." Gu Chen put a stack of photos into the hands of the Mondstadt people on the side and said, "One for each person, no more, no less."

"Yay!"

"I want to enshrine the Grand Master's photo!"

"This is the Sect Leader's grace! Thank you, Sect Leader!"

"Believe in the Sect Leader, have the Sect Leader in your heart, have the Sect Leader in your hand, I feel I have been shrouded in holy light!"

"Is it that exaggerated?"

"Don't you have this feeling? You fake Sect Leader fan!"

Gu Chen's fans are still very sensible. After receiving Gu Chen's signed photo, they squatted on the side with motherly smiles one by one.

"Don't say it, you really don't say it, the Grand Master looks really well-matched with Barbara."

"No, why do I feel Barbara is a bit short?"

"Little brother, do you understand? Barbara is still young, won't she be suitable after growing for two more years?"

"What you said makes sense!"

"Being able to see Mr. Gu Chen today is really the luck of this life..."

"Hehe, Mr. Gu Chen's signed photo, hehe..."

"It's over, this girl is crazy. Meeting the Sect Leader is a lifelong mistake."

The crowd had dispersed.

Barbara, who was standing in place, watched Gu Chen gradually walk in front of her.

It was exactly the same as in memory, but at such a close distance, she still needed to look up slightly to see his face.

Barbara said distressedly: "Height is still a bit lacking."

"What does that have to do with anything?"

Gu Chen laughed lightly.

Standing next to Barbara with a height of nearly 1.9 meters indeed gave a strange feeling.

But thinking that Barbara is not "420" years old, it feels much more normal.

"Sister has been there, right?" Barbara asked.

"Been there, she is currently having a headache about the reform of the Knights of Favonius." Gu Chen nodded, raised his chin and signaled: "Go?"

"Hmm."

Barbara nodded, and her small hand reached out to hold Gu Chen's.

The nimble steps seemed to be telling the girl's joy.

Gu Chen held Barbara and left. The passing Mondstadt people sensibly did not disturb them and silently sent their blessings one after another.

Walking to a street with few people, Gu Chen and Barbara sat down on a bench by the road.

Barbara said softly: "It really feels like a dream, everything feels so dreamy, yet very real... By the way, I can sing more songs now~"

"This time it's really going to be a big star known to everyone." Gu Chen nodded and laughed: "Although Alice's Teyvat idol group plan aborted, a super idol is about to appear in Teyvat."

"This super idol should be you~"

Barbara smiled lightly.

Through the scene just now, one could know Gu Chen's terrifying popularity.

Not only in Mondstadt, but in the seven nations of the world, he has such popularity.

Barbara said with a bright smile: "If you want to be an idol, you will definitely be red and purple!"

"Haha."

Gu Chen was noncommittal.

"Shall we go to Windrise and see?" Barbara asked.

"Go!"

Windrise.

This is where Gu Chen first met Barbara, and also where they started to become friends.

Now revisiting the old place, the two have changed from friends to lovers.

Windrise was blowing a breeze, and the bright sunshine was warm and comfortable.

Barbara hummed a love song, and Gu Chen listened quietly.

The singing voice full of emotion seemed to be telling the girl's heart.

The two sat on the roots of the big tree and enjoyed this beautiful afternoon time.

Evening.

Knights of Favonius.

Gu Chen had just finished dinner with Jean and Barbara.

Lisa coaxed and deceived Klee away, saying that she would let the Spark Knight inspect the fire facilities of Mondstadt hotels.

Gu Chen and the other two naturally understood what Lisa meant. It was precisely because they understood that Jean and Barbara were very shy.

As night fell, there were fewer and fewer people in the office building of the Knights.

Jean took Gu Chen and Barbara to the top floor.

On a roof outside the office building of the Knights of Favonius.

Venti and Kaeya were squatting here.

"The Sect Leader is really happy!" Kaeya said.

Looking at his envious look, Venti G-hehe laughed and said: "Your conditions are good, you find one yourself."

"Not looking, I'm just envious." Kaeya shook his head.

The lights on the top floor of the office building soon went out. Venti curled his lips and said: "What follows is not something we can watch. Go, go drink?"

"Your treat?"

"Little brother, this remark looks down on me, right? No matter what, I am also an external guest of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor!"

"Hehe, save a sum of Mora!"

Venti and Kaeya hooked their shoulders and went towards Angel's Share.

The next day, morning.

Knights of Favonius conference room.

Gu Chen sat in the first seat, Diluc, Kaeya, Eula, Amber, Albedo, Lisa and others were all there.

Jean was absent, but everyone knew it, and no one asked more.

Gu Chen said: "At present, the Knights of Favonius must definitely make some changes. Jean has already given a proposal for this."

"Diluc returns to the Knights. I know you have some opinions about the Knights. The more dissatisfied you are, the more you must use your strength to change the Knights."

Diluc nodded and said: "Only the Knights in the video is the Knights in my heart. I will work hard for this goal."

"With Diluc here, my work is much easier." Kaeya looked relaxed, his tone full of joy.

"Then you might think too much." Gu Chen shook his head and followed: "After the Knights complete the transformation, Diluc will be the sole Chief Instructor, and you will hold many positions. You also have to pick up the work of the Chief of Staff again."

After hearing this, Kaeya scratched his head and said: "Okay, okay, it seems I can't be lazy."

"Let's arrange it like this. Varka took away four-fifths of the elite. The remaining people must practice hard, and we must recruit new people."

"I don't want to see the arrogant Fatui come to force the Knights to make concessions again next time, understand?"

Everyone's expression became serious, and they nodded one after another: "Understand!"

Mondstadt's military strength is not weak, but it was forced by the Fatui like that before only because Varka's expedition took away four-fifths of the elite of the Knights.

The current Knights only need a certain amount of time, and then they can have enough confidence to face everything without relying on Gu Chen and Venti.

After Gu Chen finished the arrangements, he returned to the top floor.

Jean, who exercises all year round, has a much stronger body. Although there is some discomfort, she feels okay.

Barbara is not very good. Even with the Hydro Vision, she is still a weak girl if you put these aside, so Jean is taking care of her.

Gu Chen just pushed the door in, and Jean asked: "Have you arranged everything?"

"Rest assured, no matter what, I am also a person who has served as Grand Master, there will be no omissions."

Gu Chen nodded, then looked at Barbara and asked: "How do you feel?"

"Hmm... okay."
