Chapter 313

Amidst the discussions in Fontaine and Natlan, Ningguang led Liyue's army back to Liyue's territory.

Sara, Beidou, and Shenhe still needed to reorganize the troops in their hands, so they did not return to Liyue Harbor with Ningguang.

As soon as she returned to the Jade Chamber, Ningguang saw Jiang Yan standing quietly by the fence on the outer perimeter of the Jade Chamber.

"Master!"

Ningguang looked at the other person with surprise.

"Ningguang, you're here."

Jiang Yan heard the voice, turned his head, and said to Ningguang with a smile.

"Well, thank you for your hard work regarding Snezhnaya."

"It's not hard work."

Ningguang heard Jiang Yan's words and shook her head quickly.

"Hehehe, come, chat with me."

Jiang Yan stood by the fence with a laugh and waved at Ningguang.

Ningguang came to Jiang Yan's side obediently and stood beside him.

"I have read the treaty you signed with Snezhnaya."

"You did very well."

Jiang Yan turned around, leaned his body on the fence, and looked at the scenery of Liyue.

Even though he had been looking at this kind of scenery for so many years, Jiang Yan never got tired of it.

"As long as Master is satisfied."

Ningguang smiled, like a child who had been praised, her eyes squinting into a line with happiness.

"Master is at ease with you handling things."

Jiang Yan said to Ningguang with a laugh.

"This time, through this treaty, we in Liyue can say that not only did we not lose anything, but we made a huge profit."

Ningguang said to Jiang Yan.

Her tone carried a hint of excitement.

Clearly, Ningguang had tasted the dividends brought by this war.

No merchant would say no to such huge wealth.

Ningguang is no exception.

Isn't this much better than the wealth earned by scheming with those merchants?

Ningguang even wanted to have another war against other countries.

A single Snezhnaya could make Liyue make a huge profit.

Then other countries...

"You'd better not have such thoughts, Ningguang."

Jiang Yan glanced at Ningguang and knew what this girl was thinking.

As a Ningguang who was born with a merchant's keen talent, how could she not be greedy for the huge profits caused by war?

"Even if we threatened Snezhnaya this time, we had a legitimate reason because they were the ones who provoked us first."

"If we were to start a war without any reason."

"Just to make the wealth that war can bring, not only would it be unjustifiable, but the people would also have feelings of resistance."

Jiang Yan's words made Ningguang wake up instantly.

Smart as she was, she immediately realized the misunderstanding she had just fallen into.

If Jiang Yan hadn't reminded her, perhaps Ningguang would have really fallen into it.

It wouldn't be a big deal for Ningguang to fall into this kind of thinking.

But this would affect her thoughts; after all, the current Ningguang is not alone.

Inheriting Jiang Yan's Tianquan position.

Ningguang's decisions also affect Liyue's next steps.

If Ningguang falls into it, she will also pull Liyue down from the altar and let Liyue enter a state of no return.

"I'm sorry, Master."

"Just now, Ningguang was obsessed."

Ningguang lowered her head, her eyes filled with lingering fear.

It's hard to imagine that if Jiang Yan weren't here now, Ningguang might have started studying how to provoke a war between Liyue and other countries.

"It's good that you realized it; you are a smart child, and I never need to explain anything to you."

Seeing that Ningguang had realized it, Jiang Yan didn't say anything more to her.

"By the way, where is your Mistress? I haven't seen her since I came back."

Actually, Jiang Yan originally intended to see Ganyu first when he came back.

But he hadn't seen Ganyu since he came back from Mondstadt.

He didn't see Ganyu at the General Affairs Office.

Nor at home.

"Mistress? Isn't she at the Yuehai Pavilion?"

Ningguang looked at Jiang Yan with some confusion, but immediately after, she seemed to react and clapped her hands quickly.

"Oh, right, almost forgot about this."

"What matter?"

Hearing Ningguang suddenly say this, Jiang Yan also looked at the other person with some confusion.

"Today is the day of Xiaoyu's elementary school graduation; Mistress should be going to attend Xiaoyu's graduation ceremony."

"By the way, Master, didn't you promise Xiaoyu before..."

Jiang Yan's eyes suddenly widened after hearing what day it was today.

Hiss!!!

Damn it!!!!

Today is the day of my eldest daughter's elementary school graduation!!

And I promised Jiang Xinyu that I would attend with Ganyu.

It's over, it's over, it's over!!!

After all, last time, someone promised Jiang Xinyu to attend the parent-teacher meeting but didn't.

If I don't attend now.

I guess that little girl will not talk to me for three days... no! At least five days!!

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan's expression suddenly became serious.

"Ningguang, I won't chat with you anymore; I have to go to Xiaoyu's place first!"

Jiang Yan said to Ningguang, and then, Jiang Yan turned over and jumped down from the Jade Chamber.

Ningguang watched Jiang Yan jump down and immediately open a portal to disappear, and laughed immediately.

Master, oh Master, I guess you're going to be scolded by that girl Xinyu again~

Jiang Yan opened a portal instantly and came to the Liyue No. 1 Experimental Elementary School where Jiang Xinyu was.

But fortunately, this time period is not too late.

Jiang Yan quickly tidied up his body, turned himself into the appearance of a mortal, and walked toward the inside of the school.

But as soon as he walked to the school gate, he was stopped by the guard.

"Stop! What are you doing?"

The guard was very vigilant because today is the day of the elementary school graduation ceremony, so there are many parents coming in and out.

It was a mixed bag, and there were many small children in the school today, so the guard worked extra carefully.

"Hello, hello, I am Jiang Xinyu's father, here to attend the child's graduation ceremony."

Jiang Yan said to the guard with a smile.

"Oh... so that's it..."

The guard looked at Jiang Yan with some suspicion, and then said to him.

"You have to wait a moment; I have to ask the child's homeroom teacher you mentioned to confirm."

"I need you to wait here for a while, please wait a moment."

Jiang Yan nodded quickly and said:

"Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard work, please wait a moment."

Jiang Yan's gentle attitude also made the guard's expression soften a lot, and then he entered the security booth.

Jiang Yan was not too anxious.

After all, looking at the time point now, the graduation ceremony should have just started.

The guard's attitude made Jiang Yan very satisfied.

As an elementary school guard, the guard should be more vigilant.

This way, he can better protect the children in the school.

Not long after, the guard walked out of the security booth, and at the same time, he was holding a piece of paper in his hand.

"Hello, Jiang Xinyu's father, right?"

The guard looked at Jiang Yan and handed him a piece of paper.

"This is the sign-in sheet; you came a little late, the graduation ceremony should have already started."

The guard said to Jiang Yan.

"Sorry, sorry, I really came a little late."

Jiang Yan bowed his body to sign his name, and then handed it back to the guard.

"There have been a lot of things recently, and I almost forgot about this."

Can Jiang Yan's things not be many?

First, he heard Barbatos tell him that Klee was his daughter during the Lantern Rite.

Then Jiang Yan went back and forth to confirm.

Then he learned about the things Snezhnaya did to Liyue.

Jiang Yan went to dismantle Snezhnaya's place again.

These things in the past few days are also a bit fantasy.

Jiang Yan hasn't been this busy for a long time.

Suddenly being this busy, I'm really not used to it.

It's better to retire; if you want to slack off, you can slack off.

I should learn from Barbatos and not care about anything.

But Jiang Yan doesn't have Barbatos's serious attitude of slacking off.

Once something happens in Liyue, Jiang Yan still pays close attention to it.

Perhaps this is the so-called life of toil?

Jiang Yan couldn't help but think.

After signing the sign-in sheet, Jiang Yan entered the school.

Relying on his memory, Jiang Yan quickly came to the third floor.

"Hello, sir, do you have anything to do on the third-grade floor?"

As soon as Jiang Yan came to the class where Jiang Xinyu was, he heard a woman's voice coming from the side.

Looking at the teacher's attire in front of him, Jiang Yan realized that the person in front of him should be the teacher of this class.

But what did the teacher just say?

Third-grade floor?

Is this where the third grade is?!

Jiang Yan widened his eyes.

I came to attend Jiang Xinyu's graduation ceremony, and you tell me it's not here?!

"Uh... are you here to attend the graduation ceremony for the sixth-grade students?"

The teacher quickly realized the reason why Jiang Yan appeared here, and looking at Jiang Yan's embarrassed appearance, she couldn't help but laugh.

This parent obviously rarely comes to school, even walking to the wrong class where his child is.

"Yes, yes, sorry, sorry, I'm usually busy, and it's always the child's mother who comes to school."

Jiang Yan scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

"I see, the sixth-grade students are all in the teaching building opposite; you can just go over there; the graduation ceremony should have just started not long ago."

The teacher pointed out the direction of the graduation ceremony for Jiang Yan.

"Thank you, thank you!"

Jiang Yan cupped his hands and then left here quickly.

It's really too embarrassing!

Walking to the wrong floor, is that okay?!

Looking at Jiang Yan's departing back, the teacher couldn't help but smile and shake her head.

Parents nowadays, many are so confused...

On the other side, Jiang Yan came to another teaching building.

As soon as he walked up to the floor, Jiang Yan heard a sound of arguing.

What's the situation?!

Jiang Yan's curiosity was instantly hooked, and he walked up quickly.

"Let go of me!"

"No!"

"We have no relationship anymore! Don't pester me anymore!"

On the floor, a boy and a girl were entangled there.

Looking at their appearance, they are not old, it seems to be... elementary school students?!

Jiang Yan widened his eyes; are children nowadays so precocious?

"Ahui! You know my heart for you; we were clearly so in love before, why?!"

The boy's tone was so sad, so painful.
