Genshin Impact: Reject Camera, Replace Traveler
Chapter 87: From Hidden Pride to Humility and Respect
Although he was not in the living room, Gu Chen gave Ningguang a small show of force, as a way of supporting Paimeng in the living room.
Ningguang smiled bitterly, thinking that she would never try again.
Even though Gu Chen was not in front of her, Ningguang still turned to Paimeng and said sorry.
At this time, Gu Chen had already brewed tea.
He held the teapot in one hand and several teacups on the tray in the other, and walked over with a relaxed and elegant demeanor.
“Miss Ningguang, there’s no need to apologize.
At that time, I was not yet the star Gou Chen, I was just a traveler with unknown origin.
You must be aware of the fact that someone like me has rashly come into contact with an immortal. This is your responsibility."
Ningguang was suddenly shocked again.
Unknown origin?
Is Mr. Gu Chen trying to imply something through this self-deprecating way?
However, I really don't feel afraid of you or even on guard against you just because you come from an unknown background!
You are the Gou Chen Star appointed by the Emperor himself, and you are above us.
We, the Seven Stars of Liyue, may feel somewhat uncomfortable, but we will definitely not have any objections.
Because the Emperor's orders are everything!
Seeing Ningguang about to say something, Gu Chen smiled slightly and raised his hand to interrupt her:
"Ningguang, you don't need to say more, I understand everything.
In fact, when I just learned that I was appointed as the Gou Chen Star by the Emperor, I was also very confused, and I was also worried that you would feel uncomfortable.
If you put yourself in their shoes, if you are managing Liyue well and suddenly a new boss comes out of nowhere, I would also feel uncomfortable if I were in their shoes.
Does the Emperor trust me or not? If he trusts me, why would he suddenly create the Gou Chen star?
Where does this Gou Chen Xing come from? Could he be the Emperor's illegitimate child?
Ningguang's expression was filled with fear and trepidation. She felt uneasy.
"I absolutely have no such disrespectful intentions."
Gu Chen leaned over, placed the cup on the coffee table in front of Ningguang, and poured her some tea.
"I know, but I'm a little suspicious, right?"
Ningguang was silent, watching the tea in the teapot pour into her cup.
Gu Chen slowly fell backwards:
"So my attitude is very clear, and there's no need for us to beat around the bush.
I will not compete with you for power.
But I will hold tightly to my rights and everything that belongs to me.
If I really see anything wrong in Liyue, I will definitely intervene and I will not turn a blind eye.
Also, as you guessed, I have a special relationship with the Emperor. I can be considered... his collaborator."
He went straight to the point and at the same time poured tea for Ningguang.
The cup of tea was filled and steaming hot.
The wine should be half full and the tea should be full.
Gu Chen didn’t know whether Liyue had such a rule, so he just pretended it did.
Looking at the cup of tea in front of her, Ningguang's heart was filled with turmoil.
She originally thought that the Emperor had high hopes for Gu Chen, so he sent him down to take charge of the Gou Chen Star, to supervise and control the entire Liyue, and to somewhat restrain and control the Seven Stars of Liyue.
However, she never expected that the relationship between Emperor Jun and Gu Chen was not one of superior and subordinate, but... a cooperative relationship!
What does this mean?
This shows that in the Emperor's heart, Gu Chen's status is equal to his!
Thinking about it this way, it is not clear whether Gu Chen is a god or a demon, but he is definitely an existence of that level!
After realizing this, all the little plans Ningguang had in mind were overturned!
She had been worried that Gu Chen would interfere in government affairs and mess things up, but now it seems... it's ridiculous!
For someone like Gu Chen, is the struggle for power and profit just a game of house? Aren't her methods very childish?
After all, beings of that level, their values and concepts are not something that humans with a short lifespan of just a few hundred years can understand!
She thought Gu Chen was just an ordinary traveler from another world. She thought Gu Chen was also a human being, but just extremely powerful!
It turns out that it was wrong from the beginning.
Fortunately, Mr. Gu Chen has made everything clear to me now, so I don’t make the same mistake again.
Looking at the cup of tea in front of her, Ningguang deeply understood what Gu Chen wanted to express?
I've poured you some tea.
Do you want to drink this tea?
This is tea poured by the superior, this is tea poured by someone who is equal to the emperor.
You have to drink whether you want to or not!
So, Ningguang didn't hesitate at all.
She picked up the teacup in front of her with both hands and drank it all in one gulp, regardless of the heat.
Hmm...it's indeed a bit hot.
Putting down the teacup, Ningguang endured the burning sensation in her throat and pursed her lips to suppress the discomfort.
Then, she looked at Gu Chen who was smiling in front of her, and her tone became more humble:
"Ningguang is judging others by the standards of a villain."
Paimon was floating nearby.
She looked at Ningguang, then at Gu Chen, feeling somewhat smug.
In fact, when Paimeng first met Ningguang, he discovered that there was a hint of pride in Ningguang.
As a result, just now, her partner shattered Ningguang's pride with just a few words.
Now, Paimon could only see respect in Ningguang.
Putting down the teapot and sitting on the sofa, Gu Chen's attitude became gentle:
“I can’t blame you.
After all, you've been in this position for a long time, so your thinking patterns are inevitably somewhat rigid."
Ningguang agreed deeply and nodded seriously.
At this moment, she was sitting a little stiffly.
Suddenly, she remembered something:
"I just happen to have something I don't understand, so I'd like to ask Mr. Gu Chen for advice."
Gu Chen waved his hand:
"It's not so much about teaching me, but you can tell me."
"The Emperor once said that the position of this Gou Chen star is unprecedented and will never be surpassed.
There has never been one before, and there will never be one again.
I didn't think too much about it at the time.
Now that I know your situation, is it because you are... an immortal species that I won't set up again? "
Nodding, Gu Chen was calm:
"Yes, I am indeed an immortal now.
Moreover, my lifespan will continue to increase as my strength grows.
Now, I can live to be ten thousand years old without any problem."
Ningguang took a deep breath, confirming her guess.
Sure enough, this Gou Chen star is on the same level as the Emperor!
Maybe this youthful appearance is just an appearance, and he doesn’t know how many years he has lived!
In fact, this is Ningguang's misunderstanding.
Gu Chen only told her that he could live for a long time, but did not tell her how long he had lived, causing Ningguang to misunderstand that he was an old monster.
Moreover, here, it is also shown that Gu Chen is completely different from the original Huangmao.
In the original novel, it is unknown how long Huangmao has lived, but on the continent of Teyvat, he is considered a young man by everyone.
They were even not allowed to drink alcohol because they were suspected of being underage!
When it came to Gu Chen, although he was indeed very young, Ningguang imagined that he had lived for many years.
All I can say is that things in the world are so distorted that it makes people laugh.
Putting aside Ningguang's misunderstanding, let's first talk about her complicated feelings and a new doubt:
“Mr. Gu Chen, it seems that you are indeed familiar with the Emperor.
But I want to know, has the Emperor transformed into a mortal and lived in seclusion in Liyue Harbor?
