Genshin Impact: Reject Camera, Replace Traveler

Chapter 86: Two People's Hints and Cleverness

Looking at Ningguang's clear eyes, Gu Chen smiled heartily:

"Why are you talking about apology? Miss Ningguang is too polite.

As the Tianquan Star, you are busy with all kinds of things and have no time to spare, and you happen to encounter the matter of the doctor.

In this situation, it is correct to focus on work first and then consider myself, and to put public interests first and private interests second.

Haha, unlike me, I am a leisurely person, and I am destined to be a leisurely person in the future."

Ningguang felt a little relieved after hearing these words.

They were all smart people, and Ningguang keenly grasped the meaning of Gu Chen's words.

First, Gu Chen praised Ningguang for putting public interests first and personal interests second.

This means that he regarded the matter of welcoming me yesterday as a personal matter, and placed it in a position that was not particularly necessary, which was considered humble.

This also indirectly told Ningguang that he didn't care.

And the following sentence: a leisurely and unrestrained person.

Calling himself a leisurely wanderer was Gu Chen's way of hinting to Ningguang:

Although my status is higher than yours, I will not fight for power and profit, nor will I do so in the future, so you can rest assured.

After trying to understand Gu Chen's hint, Ningguang recalled what the Emperor had once said to her.

The Emperor said that Gu Chen's personality was that of a hands-off boss who would not manage worldly affairs, and he would not interfere in worldly affairs unless necessary in the future.

At the same time, the Emperor gave Gu Chen great power, making him worthy of the name of Gou Chen Star.

Ningguang guessed that this should be a restraint on herself and the other Liyue Seven Stars, but at the same time, this restraint was not excessive.

As expected, the Emperor is far-sighted.

Sure enough, what the Emperor said was true. It seems that this Gou Chen Star really has this kind of personality.

This way, Ningguang felt a lot more relaxed.

She wasn't particularly worried about being restrained.

As a Tianquan Star, Ningguang has a far-sighted vision and knows that power must be restricted, even if she is one of the Seven Stars of Liyue.

What she was worried about was that this airborne Gou Chenxing would interfere in their daily administrative work or even act bossy.

If they really interfere in government affairs at will, resulting in laymen guiding professionals, it will inevitably cause chaos over time.

Now it seems that Mr. Gu Chen from the Gou Chen Star has a clear self-awareness and is not overbearing.

This alleviated Ningguang's worries a lot.

It was just a few words exchanged during their first meeting, seemingly just a greeting and self-deprecation, but in Ningguang's heart, it was interpreted with countless meanings.

It just so happened that these countless meanings were indeed hinted to her by Gu Chen.

I have to say, this is a conversation between smart people.

Through observation, Gu Chen discovered that Ningguang must have understood his hint.

that would be great.

Next, it’s time to invite Ningguang into the house.

He seemed to suddenly realize something was wrong and slapped his forehead:

"Hey, what's the point of talking at the door all the time?

Miss Ningguang, please come in."

As he said this, Gu Chen moved aside and made an invitation.

Paimon, who hadn't heard any hint just now, suddenly woke up and made the same invitation gesture:

"Yes, yes, Miss Ningguang, please come in!"

Ningguang smiled slightly, nodded and lowered her brows.

She took lotus steps, stepped lightly over the threshold, and entered Gu Chen's mansion.

Gu Chen and Paimeng, as the masters, led the way ahead.

Ningguang, as a guest, followed slowly behind.

As they passed by the courtyard garden and walked towards the main hall, Gu Chen was still chatting with great interest:

“By the way, Miss Ningguang.

Paimon and I just moved into this mansion yesterday and didn't alert anyone else at all.

How did you know I lived here?"

Ningguang's steady voice came from behind:

"Mr. Gu Chen, please don't underestimate my intelligence capabilities."

After a brief thought, Gu Chen laughed at himself:

"That's right, you, the Tianquan Star, are very well connected in Liyue.

Whether it's Philgodette and Huaian from Wangshu Inn or Ye Lan, they are all your people.

So it's easy for you to find out where I live."

Gu Chen knew about this, so of course he didn’t care.

But Paimon, who was following beside him, was a little surprised:

"Huh? The owner of Wangshu Inn, Filgodette, and the shopkeeper, Huaian, are both Miss Ningguang's people!?"

Ningguang, who was behind, teased Paimon a little:

"To be precise, the entire Wangshu Inn is full of my people."

Paimon was so frightened that he was speechless and could hardly speak.

The three of them were talking as they entered the main living room.

Please ask Ningguang to sit on the sofa, and Gu Chen will make tea himself.

Fortunately, he had already figured out where the teapot, teacups and other utensils were yesterday, otherwise he would have been easily exposed today.

While brewing tea, Gu Chen explained loudly from a distance:

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Miss Ningguang.

I just arrived and there are not many servants in the house, and I don’t plan to hire servants in the future.

So I have to come in person to make tea and other things. Please wait a moment, Miss Ningguang."

Ningguang sat calmly on the sofa:

"I should be flattered to have Gou Chenxing personally make tea."

After responding, Ningguang couldn't help but look at Paimon who was floating next to the sofa opposite.

Gu Chen went to make tea, and for the time being, only Ningguang and Paimeng were left in the living room.

Paimon suddenly felt uneasy.

She feels like...

When guests came to the house, the parents went to find tea and water and let the child entertain the guests alone, but the child happened to be socially anxious.

In this situation, the child will be extremely embarrassed.

Obviously, facing a big shot like Ningguang alone, Paimeng is now in such an awkward and helpless state.

Fortunately, Ningguang is very good at finding topics to talk about:

"Mr. Gu Chen and you live in such a big mansion, why don't you plan to hire someone?"

Finally, it was less awkward and there was finally something to talk about. Paimon quickly said:

"It's because Gu Chen doesn't want others to disturb our lives, not even servants."

Suddenly Paimeng realized something was wrong and she waved her hands repeatedly:

“Um…I didn’t mean to disturb Miss Ningguang!

Miss Ningguang, you are a guest! We welcome you very much!"

Ningguang didn't care, of course. She smiled and asked again:

"But, cleaning such a large mansion in the future will be very tiring, right?"

"Oh, about that, actually we're planning to..."

Paimon suddenly stopped talking.

It was a close call. She almost blurted out her secret again. She almost revealed to Ningguang that they had a relationship with Master Liuyun Jiefeng!

Paimeng was bothered by it, but Gu Chen didn't care.

He had heard all the conversations in the living room, and at this moment his voice came from the other side:

"We plan to ask True Monarch Liuyun Jiefeng to create a few cleaning mechanisms to place around the house. This will save manpower and be more convenient."

Ningguang was suddenly shocked, but she didn't show it on her face:

"Mr. Gu Chen is still close friends with the immortals?"

Gu Chen's laughter came from the other side again:

"It's not that we are close friends, but we have some friendship with the immortal.

Ningguang should know about this.

The first night I went to Wangshu Inn, I became friends with Xiao.

Phil Gedette and Huaian must have reported this to you!"

Ningguang pursed her lips and smiled bitterly.
