In the first place, Ayaka should never have been sent to accompany the general on his stroll through the rice fields. A naive and innocent young girl is most afraid of encountering an outstanding young man.

Especially someone who knows a little bit about everything, has the ability to bring Inazuma back to life, is as powerful as the Thunder General, and has no bad intentions.

At that moment, the retainer Thomas ran in and said, "Master, this is a message from the castle tower."

……

"Glug~ Glug~ Glug~ Glug~"

Nasita, who was taking a bath, buried her mouth in the water and idly blew bubbles.

Zhong Gui has been gone for several days now, and I miss him terribly. What should I do?

I'm a little scared to go to the toilet alone now.

What is he doing in Liyue? Am I still his only little darling?

"Glug~ Glug~ Glug~ Glug~"

O God of Wisdom, Buyer, unleash your invincible wisdom and quickly devise a solution!

"How about we go see him in Liyue? Hmm? That's a good idea!"

"Glug glug~ Glug glug~"

After a couple of final gurgles, Nasita jumped out of the bathtub and dressed in the light.

She ran out of the bedroom, shouting, "Someone come quick! Someone come quick! ^_^"

"Little Auspicious Grass King!"

Several maids came in immediately upon hearing the call.

"Lord Little Lucky Grass King, what are your orders?"

"Go and call Elhesen over, hmm... never mind, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Nasita suddenly remembered that it was already night, everyone had washed up and gone to bed, and even she herself had started taking a shower, so she shouldn't disturb him.

“But…” a maid said, “The scribe said that if you need to see him at any time or place, you should notify him and he will come as quickly as possible.”

"Never mind, I'll call him over tomorrow. Just remember that." Nasita waved her hand and said, "Alright, everyone go back and rest, or you'll have dark circles under your eyes tomorrow."

After Nasita left, the group exchanged glances. One maid hurried to the scribe's residence, while another went to find the Grand Master of Ceremonies.

Chapter 42 The Current State of Sumeru (Chapter Six)

How is Sumeru now?

Scribe Elhesen is no longer acting as the Great Sage, but the word "Great" has been added before "Scribe".

The position has risen in status, but there is no real power; it is a prestigious but unassuming post.

The Grand Secretary had little power, but Elhesen wielded considerable influence.

The sages of today are all promoted by him, and most importantly, the Grass God and his retinue clearly trust him more.

Furthermore, the Grass God's Familiar instructed everyone to give Elhesen enough trust, and after his departure, to prioritize Elhesen and properly assist the Little Auspicious Grass King.

So although we don't know what happened to Lord Little Lucky Grass, his sudden announcement in the middle of the night must mean something important.

The Little Auspicious Grass King is kind and doesn't want to disturb his subordinates' rest, but even if he doesn't call the clerk over today, he still has to inform him so that he can prepare in advance.

The current rulers of Sumeru are all afraid that something might happen to the Little Auspicious Grass King. They need to know about even the slightest disturbance from the Grand Secretary and the Grand Discipline Officer, as they are all afraid that the Little Auspicious Grass King, who is not powerful enough, might be harmed.

The Academy is not short of scholars. You can say they have gone astray, but you cannot deny their knowledge, especially Elhesen, who is no less learned than the sages.

He knew that the current Grass God was merely a branch of the World Tree King broken off, and did not possess the full power of a Demon God.

However, since the Heart of the Grass Elemental God is in his own hands, the current Little Lucky Grass King doesn't even have the power of a basic deity.

Incidentally, Elhesen, who wields the Heart of the Grass Elemental God, has now moved to the office of the Order of the Church, as it is closest to the Palace of Purity, allowing him to hand over the Heart of the God to the Little Auspicious Grass King at any time.

Although Zhong Gui had told him not to give it to the Little Lucky Grass King, he couldn't care less once it involved comforting the Little Lucky Grass King.

Incidentally, next to him was the head of discipline...

Who holds the most power in Sumeru right now? The Grand Secretary!

So what happens to the senior discipline officials who failed in their duties in the past?

Keep a close eye on him!

From now on, the disciplinary officers will keep an eye on those below, while the chief disciplinary officer will be responsible for keeping an eye on the great sage or the one with the most power.

As for the Grand Discipline Officer, who can supervise him? Do you think the most powerful person who has been offended by him wouldn't keep an eye on him?

What if the two of them collude in evil deeds?

That's when deus ex machina will come!

Little Lucky Grass King strikes hard, smashing their heads!

In the disciplinary officer's office, Seno held a green chess piece in his hand.

—Heart of the Grass God (for backup)

"If one day Elhesen rebels, or the Heart of God is lost and stolen by the Fools, then give it to Nasita."

Zhong Gui told him this when he gave Seno a Heart of God before he left.

Similarly, Zhong Gui told Seno the secret that "I'll only tell you," which is why Seno didn't give the Heart of God to the Little Lucky Grass King.

(Zhong Gui: Elhesen is trustworthy!)

It could be said that he "failed to perform his duties" again.

If the two gods of Sumeru could return, let alone dereliction of duty, executing him would be no problem.

"Huh? What's the matter?"

Upon hearing the knock on the door, Seno put away the Heart of God.

"Your Excellency, just now..."

The maid told Seno about Little Lucky Grass King's actions, and Seno frowned and walked out of the office.

As soon as they stepped outside, they encountered Elhesen, who was also coming out. And so, the two of them cautiously stood guard for Nasita all night, guarding against any possible mishaps.

They didn't know why the Grass God was calling them in the middle of the night, but since the Grass God had spoken, it must be something important, and it wouldn't hurt to prepare in advance.

Anyway, they're both pretty free; all they have to do is keep an eye on each other.

"No~"

Nasita buried her head in the pillow, and you could vaguely see that her face was flushed.

"I'm so sorry..."

Because of his sudden whim, he disturbed others in the middle of the night and even made them "stand guard"...

She knew the maid was leaving, and she knew Elhesen and Seno were coming, but she didn't know how to stop them.

Because she knows they will do it even if she tries to stop them, she is now always overly cared for in Sumeru.

but--

"Big brother is really amazing, he was able to create the Heart of God."

If she didn't know that Tianli was already asleep, she would definitely have thought that Zhonggui was Tianli.

She knew most of the things about Sumeru, such as the two people outside Jingshan Palace who both possessed divine hearts.

She also knew that there was a God's Heart in Hengnalana—the Grass God's Heart (backup version).

But she didn't go there. Although she didn't know why her older brother had arranged it that way, she knew he must have his reasons, and she trusted him.

She had her doubts, but she could wait and see; one day her older brother would tell her.

……

Nothing was said that night, until dawn.

Hua Hua Hua——

The thick snow was shaken off, and two angelic-looking fairies emerged from the tree bark tent, followed by a handsome young man.

"Good morning, fairies."

"Good morning..." Gan Yu said, her face flushed.

"Good morning." Shen He stepped forward and took Zhong Gui's hand.

Holding Shen He's small hand, Zhong Gui said with a smile, "Where are we going next? How about Guyun Pavilion? Let's explore Liyue."

"If that's not enough, I'll take you to Mondstadt, Inazuma, Sumeru... There are many fun places in Teyvat."

"Guyun Pavilion?"

Gan Yu looked up at the sky. The sun was rising, and the blue sky could be seen at the foot of the snow-capped mountains.

"What a heart-opening scene."

Then Gan Yu looked at Zhong Gui and smiled, a smile as beautiful as a glass lily that startled Zhong Gui.

"Next time, next time take me all over Liyue and all over Teyvat."
