In Genshin Impact: I accidentally ruined the Seven Gods

Upon hearing the address "Uncle Bai," Bai Mu looked up at Gan Yu and said with some surprise, "Oh, little Gan Yu, it's been so many years, and you still remember your Uncle Bai?"

It's no wonder Bai Mu was surprised. A thousand or two thousand years had passed since the Demon God War, and he didn't expect Gan Yu to still recognize him, especially in human form.

During the Demon God War, Gan Yu became food for a demon god because she was too fat. Although she eventually choked the demon god to death, the incident left an indelible shadow on Gan Yu's young mind.

At that time, Zhongli and Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun were also worried that Ganyu would cause problems again, so they entrusted Ganyu to Baimu for care.

At that time, Qingce Village was considered very peaceful compared to other places. Not to mention that there were no powerful demons in Qingce Village, even the "Pure Water Sprite" on the outskirts was not something that ordinary demons could provoke.

Although those demons were violent, they weren't fools. Qingce Village not only had few people, but also had Bai Mu and the Pure Water Spirit. Unless they were idiots, they wouldn't go and cause trouble.

This also made Qingcezhuang the best place to foster Ganyu.

Shiraki had no objection to this.

Just consider it helping them herd sheep for a few days; after all, coconut sheep are sheep too.

After Gan Yu arrived at Qingce Village, he always called Bai Mu Uncle Bai.

Hearing Bai Mu's words, Gan Yu lowered her head somewhat embarrassed, "I've been quite busy lately and haven't had time to visit Uncle Bai."

"Is a thousand or two thousand years a considerable period of time?"

Bai Mu joked.

"Uh...this..."

Gan Yu blushed and lowered her head even further, leaving Ning Guang standing there at a loss for what to do.

Then, Bai Mu interrupted the awkward situation. "Tell me, what did you come to see me for?"

Upon hearing this, Ningguang, who was standing nearby, said, "Your Majesty, I am the one who has come to visit you this time, and I brought Ganyu with me."

"Oh?"

Shiraki gave a puzzled "oh".

He could understand why Gan Yu recognized him earlier, but he hadn't expected Ning Guang to recognize him too. Had he become that famous in Liyue Harbor? Bai Mu wondered to himself.

"How did you recognize me?" Bai Mu asked.

“Your Majesty, you have never concealed your aura. I once entered your temple and felt the aura of your divine power inside. Now, feeling it up close, that aura is exactly the same as the aura on your body.”

Hearing Ningguang's explanation, Bai Mu nodded in understanding. He had indeed never concealed his aura. He had never hidden either his divine power or elemental power, but he also hadn't released them recklessly. This was why Ningguang and Gan Yu only recognized his aura at close range.

Bai Mu himself had never intended to conceal his aura. Even if he had a way, he wouldn't like to play dumb to fool others; it didn't fit his personality.

If he had come as an ordinary person, he was certain that the two people before him wouldn't have recognized him. Ningguang's attitude towards him wouldn't be as respectful as it is now.

Ningguang and Ganyu are still standing there.

Just then, the door to the private room was pushed open, and the waiter at the door, who was about to enter, saw this scene. Instantly, both the waiter and the cart full of dishes froze on the spot.

Distracted by the waiter, Ningguang and Ganyu realized they were still standing. They then looked at Baimu, who understood their unspoken message from their eyes.

"Uncle Bai (the deity), may we sit down?"

"Miss Ningguang, and Secretary Ganyu, don't just stand there, come and sit down."

Upon hearing this, Ningguang and Ganyu glanced at Baimu gratefully. Ganyu then sat down next to Baimu, while Ningguang sat down next to Ganyu, with Ganyu separating them from Baimu.

After the two were seated, Bai Mu said to the waiter, "Bring these dishes up first, and bring another table's worth in half an hour. These dishes aren't enough for us."

The waitress looked at Ningguang; in her opinion, Ningguang was the biggest one there.

Seeing the waiter's gaze directed at her, Ningguang resumed her Tianquan Star demeanor and said, "We will follow the instructions of this... Mr. Bai. The bill will be recorded in the Qunyu Pavilion's account."

Upon hearing Ningguang's reply, the waiter respectfully left to prepare the meal.

Seeing Ningguang so generously treating him to dinner, Baimu stopped teasing Ganyu and instead began asking Ningguang why she was looking for him in Liyue Harbor.

"You must be the one searching for me all over Liyue Harbor, right?"

Bai Mu asked, though it was a question, his tone was full of certainty.

"That's right, Your Majesty, because there are some things I need to confirm with you."

As she spoke, Ningguang turned her gaze to Gan Yu.

In Ningguang's opinion, although Bai Mu sealed the Pyro Tree, causing considerable losses to Liyue, Bai Mu's intention was genuinely to help Liyue solve its problems.

In addition, since Bai Mu had been staying in Qingce Manor and had not left, Ningguang subconsciously imagined a story of an old man who, despite his good intentions, ended up doing something bad for his children.

Ningguang wanted to tell Baimu directly about this, but she had only just met him today, and this was their first meeting. Moreover, as a leader in Liyue, she was afraid of incurring Baimu's displeasure, as she didn't yet know what kind of person he was.

Seeing Ningguang's predicament, Bai Mu also turned his gaze to Gan Yu.

The gazes of the two men brought Gan Yu, who had been lost in thought next to Bai Mu, back to her senses.

Seeing Ningguang's wink, Gan Yu finally remembered the main purpose of their visit.

"Hey, Uncle Bai, did you seal the Pyro Trees in Liyue before you came to Liyue Harbor?"

Ganyu asked.

"That's right. When I passed by there, I sensed that the earth's veins were somewhat disordered, so I sealed that Blazing Tree."

Shiraki raised his head, his pride written all over his face, as if to say to them, "Come and thank me, little ones."

Seeing Bai Mu's expression, Ning Guang was certain that Bai Mu had no idea about the function of the Pyro Tree, and that he sealed the Pyro Tree because he truly cared about Liyue.

To avoid hurting the feelings of this "old man" from Qingce Village, Ningguang spoke as calmly as possible: "Your Majesty, the Pyro Tree is actually guarded by the Thousand Rock Army, so there's basically no chance of anything going wrong. Moreover, the Pyro Tree's subterranean fire is the main source of Liyue's weapon forging. It's just that, could you perhaps...?"

Having said that, Ningguang stopped talking. She believed that Baimu would understand what she was trying to say.

Bai Mu also learned Ning Guang's true purpose in coming to see him today. He had thought that sealing the Pyro Tree would be a great thing for Liyue Harbor, but he never expected that his good intentions would backfire.

So Bai Mu told Ning Guang that he could take care of it if he had some free time in the next few days.

Ningguang was completely relieved after receiving a positive answer from Shiraki.
