I don't want to be a heroic spirit

"Is it something like Ichidou?"

"No, quite the opposite. She's much smarter than Yidou." Gui Yifayan paused, took a bite of a melon, and said, "She's so clever she's practically a demon. It makes her hard to get along with... and she always enjoys teasing others, which is quite incompatible with someone as rigid as you."

Afterwards, the two chatted for a while.

"It seems...your troubles have been solved?"

The worry that Guiyi Fayan was referring to was naturally the incident when Sara was attacked by Arotaki Ichito.

"...Yes, disciple has thought it through." Sara lowered his head, a trace of shame on his face, "I have made Master worry about me again..."

"From the moment I accepted him as my disciple, I anticipated that I would have to worry about him." Gui Yifa narrowed one eye, a hint of smile in his eyes, "But this is also one of the pleasures of taking in a disciple."

"You and Yidou each have your strengths. Comparisons are fine, and we allow them. After all, only through comparison and competition can people make progress. But dwelling on them is different; it will limit your growth. While addressing your weaknesses is a good thing, developing your strengths is more important. Only fools would do something like picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons. The most terrifying thing isn't not working hard, but working hard in the wrong direction."

"The ghost tribe is good at strength but not wisdom. Back then, Miyu Chiyo was even able to briefly gain the upper hand in battle against General Raiden, but their stubborn personalities proved they were not cut out for leading troops. But you are different, Sara."

"You have shown great talent in military tactics, something Ito lacks. Therefore, if you were to undergo the same training as Ito, you would be wasting your talent."

"Our hope for you is to become a military strategist who can plan and win battles thousands of miles away, and our hope for Yidou is to become a pure warrior who can defeat even thousands of enemies."

"My initial idea was for you two to complement each other. After all, the presence of a military advisor allows a soldier to unleash 200% of his combat effectiveness... But I won't force it. After my guidance, even if you two fight on your own, you're already very powerful. It's just that you may not have a clear idea of ​​what's going on, since you haven't fought against others much."

It was rare for Gui Yi Fa Yan to say so much, but if Sara could fully understand it, then all her words would not be in vain.

"So... Is he the type who can just throw him into the densest area of ​​the enemy, let them ravage him like crazy, and then explode himself to take out the most enemies?"

"Yes, that's right, that's it... Wait a minute?"

Gui Yifayan just nodded, then he realized that something seemed wrong and was stunned for a moment.

Why does this tactic seem so familiar?

"Did you come up with this tactic yourself?"

"Ah? No, I saw it in a book on military strategy a while ago," Sara said with a sigh as he recalled, "The military strategies in that book left a deep impression on me... It made me fully realize the breadth and depth of military strategy. Many of them are beyond my imagination."

"I don't remember the name of that book anymore... but I still remember the author. I think his name was... Chen Gong? What a strange spelling. Could he be from Liyue?"

Looking at Sara with a thoughtful look on his face, Gui Yifayan felt complicated.

Chen Gong! Why are you everywhere?

By the way, why is there a book written by Chen Gong in our military book?

At this moment, an image inexplicably appeared in Gui Yifayan's mind.

The tall Aragaki Ichido stood behind Sara, then Sara waved his feather fan gently and smiled.

"Go and self-destruct! Ichitoshi!"

"This is a necessary sacrifice!"

Chapter 166: Spread the Name of Gui Yi Fa Yan Throughout the World

"Hmm~~~~, the weather is really nice."

With her arms stretched out, Gui Yifayan stretched her slender body to her heart's content.

Gui Yi Fa Yan had just woken up, but it was not morning now, but after noon. In other words, Gui Yi Fa Yan had just finished his nap.

Although Gui Yifayan doesn't really need to sleep, just like eating, it is her habit to go to bed on time, especially taking a nap.

In the clear sky, the sunlight is not strong because of the clouds, and the air on the continent of Teyvat is also very refreshing.

Gui Yifayan, who was in a good mood, smiled and sighed.

"It seems today is also a peaceful day..."

"Ichito! You idiot!"

...Well, it seems it's too early to be happy.

Scratching the back of his head awkwardly, Gui Yifayan walked slowly towards the source of the roar.

It wasn't far away, the location was in the yard, and the figures of Sara and Arakaki Ichito were still very eye-catching.

Moreover, as soon as Gui Yi's Dharma Eye arrived, he heard Sara's sharp Dharma Eye.

"Yidu, go out and get some sun. If you get a little tan, no one will call you an idiot!"

"..."

Gui Yi Fa Yan doesn't remember teaching this sentence to Sara?

Did they figure it out on their own? Or did the Inazuma people in Japan learn this skill on their own?

Sara and Aratake Ichito, who were still arguing, turned around as if they sensed something, and then saw Guiyi Fayan standing there in a daze, and shouted "Master" in unison.

"Master, when did you come?"

"Just now...so what happened?"

Even though Sara and Aratake Ichito often quarreled, it was not without reason. There had to be at least a fuse... and this fuse was almost entirely created by Aratake Ichito.

Gui Yi Fa Yan has encountered similar situations many times and has experience. In short, the first thing is to find out the cause and then mediate.

Is this the result of having too many children? It seems that if I want to raise a child in the future, one is enough. More than that would be too much trouble.

"Master! Don't blame me this time. I've done a great deed this time!"

Arata Ichito is quite self-aware and actually knows that most of the problems in the past were his fault... However, Guiyi Fayan became interested in the "great thing" he mentioned.

"Oh? Tell me."

It turned out that when Aratake Ichito happened to pass by a village, he found that many hillbillies appeared nearby.

Although there were people in that village who were skilled in martial arts and were capable of dealing with most of the Hilichurls... for some reason a Hilichurl King appeared among the Hilichurls, and the people in the village were unable to stop them at all.

Witnessing this scene, the kind-hearted Aratake Ichito rushed in with his weapons without thinking, easily smashed the armor of the Hillichur King and killed him, and then worked with the villagers to drive away all the invading Hillichurs.

Everyone in the village was very grateful for Ara Taki Ichido's help, and they no longer cared about Ara Taki Ichido's identity as a ghost.

This made Aratake Ichito very happy, not only because he helped many people, but also because he seemed to have found a way to change people's impression of the demon clan.

"Isn't this nice?"

Guiyi Fayan also thinks that Aratake Ichito did nothing wrong, and is happy for Aratake Ichito.

After all, she knew how much Aratake Ichito cared about people's impression of the demon clan, and Goro and Sara also understood it.

So...what exactly made Sara so angry?

Guiyi Fayan turned his questioning gaze towards Sara, while Sara glared at Ara Taki Ichido.

"Go on, tell me what you did afterwards?"

"Is there any follow-up?"

Gui Yifa's eyes looked at Huang Long Yidou again.

"Uh... I think I did the right thing!"

Aratake Ichito felt inexplicably guilty, because every time he made a mistake, this was the scene: Senior Sister Sara glared at him angrily while Master Guiyi Fayan was waiting for what would happen next. It had almost become muscle memory.

But he thought carefully about what he had done before... He didn't think he had done anything wrong?

So he straightened his chest again, trying to appear confident... but because of the increasingly fiery gazes behind him, his whole aura quickly withered away.

"Because of the Hilichurls' attack, although only the villagers who fought suffered minor injuries, several buildings were damaged. So I stayed and did some work to repair the village to the best of my ability..."

Gui Yi Fa Yan nodded, expressing his full agreement with the decision made by Ara Taki Ichito.

"Because I'm a bit clumsy, I only did some simple manual labor, and then I left the village. Before I left, I told them my name."

Even after listening to the whole process, Gui Yi Fa Yan still didn't understand why Sara was angry.

"So... why is Sara angry?"

“…When I announced my own name, I also announced my master’s.”

Because of the praise from everyone, Aradaki Ito got a little carried away and called out all kinds of embarrassing titles he thought of, such as "Aradaki the only one in the world Ito", "Aradaki the unrivaled ghost king Ito", "Aradaki surpasses Tengu in speed Ito", "Aradaki can lose but never admit defeat, a true man Ito", etc. Anyway, they were all things that Gui Yifayan could not understand.

In addition to these, Aratake Ichito also revealed his master, saying that he was "the most powerful disciple of the thousand-year-old monster Kiichi Hōgan."

...So, the real reason why Sara was angry was that she felt that Guiyi Fayan's most powerful disciple should be her, not Aratake Ichito, right?

"What have I done wrong? Our master is so powerful, yet few people know him. He's not very well-known. Isn't that unfair?" Araki Ichito said dissatisfiedly, "Besides, since our master isn't well-known, I can't even boast about being his disciple!"

"Master is truly amazing! He is definitely the most amazing person in the world!"

Well, when it comes to admiring Guiyi Fayan, no one can compare to Sara, so Sara rarely did not refute Aradaki Ichito's words, and even expressed his agreement.

At this moment, her eyes seemed to be saying: As long as you admire Gui Yifa Yan as much as I do, we will be good friends for life!

"Although I also think this is very unfair, I even want to publicize the existence of Master, so that everyone in Inazuma, and even the whole world, will know how powerful Master is!"

Sara showed his fanatic side, which made Guiyi Fayan look very strange.

"But...that's not what Master wants."

Chapter 167: Sala of Dihua

"Master's prowess is self-evident. No matter how much I say, it pales in comparison to his immense power. Besides his strength, which rivals that of a god, his wisdom and experience are unparalleled. Like the moon in the clouds or the stars in the sky, even a mortal could not fully grasp their full appearance, even if they lifted their heads to the limit."

Sara's description made Gui Yi Fa Yan very suspicious that the other party was not talking about himself but about some other existence.

When did I become so awesome? How come I don't even know it?

While Gui Yifayan looked confused, Sara was still talking.

"With Master's abilities, it would be easy for him to become famous. When it comes to teaching students, there's no one in the world who can even come close to him. Over the past millennia, whether it's money, fame, or power, it's all within his reach."

"But, that's not the case. Why? Because Master is a truly wise man. Those mundane things are simply not worth his attention! To him, they are nothing but passing clouds."

"Master has had contact with humans over the past thousand years, but she has never used her identity as a monster. Instead, she has used her human identity to interact with humans. This also shows that Master has no intention of revealing her identity."

"Master doesn't need those things! She doesn't belong to the mortal world, she transcends it, not being trapped by it, yet she cares about all living things. That's why she has trained one outstanding disciple after another over the past thousand years, allowing them to help more people and help the world fight disasters."

"The Master is great and compassionate, like the sun that shines equally on all living things on earth. Although isolated from the world, he constantly sheds warmth and light on this land."

Sara's description became more and more exaggerated, and her emotions became more and more excited... Guiyi Fayan had almost never seen Sara so excited.

Sarana's pilgrimage-like words made Gui Yifayan feel a little ashamed...

"That's why I said you were an idiot."

Saara once again looked at Aratagi with disdain and said, "Master has secluded himself from the world, and only in isolation can his wisdom be better utilized. Yet, you have revealed Master's existence to the public. If only ordinary people knew about Master's existence, it would be fine. But if those officials in the government knew about Master's existence, it would be difficult for Master to continue living like this."

"Uh... what should I do then?"

Arataki Ichito seemed to believe Sara, but in fact, he probably could not understand what Sara had said before.

The reason why he showed his agreement with Sara was probably because he felt that "what you say is mostly right".

Simply put, the CPU of this thing burned out, so I gave up thinking.

"There's nothing we can do. We can't just kill everyone who knows Master's identity, can we? There's no way to make them all lose their memory," said Sara dejectedly. "We can only hope they dismiss Master's existence as a child's fantasy or a joke... although that's unpleasant."

"According to my master, the greatest surviving youkai is probably the chief priest of Yae Shrine, a five-hundred-year-old youkai. And you, a little kid, suddenly claiming you have a thousand-year-old youkai as your master, must be hard for them to believe, right? It's really frustrating..."

"For a being as great as Master, even a deity wouldn't be an exaggeration, or rather, it's normal. Most people in this world are neither smart nor stupid, but rather those who are clever and think they are smart. These people are most easily trapped by so-called 'common sense'. Sadly, most of those in high positions are like this. Those in the government will probably scoff at Master's news, right? So unpleasant..."

He expressed his displeasure three times, and it was obvious how deeply resentful Sara was about his master being looked down upon.

But even so, she was still able to analyze calmly, which indirectly proved the success of Guiyi Fayan's education?

But actually... Gui Yifayan thinks everything is fine.

It doesn't matter even if her existence is exposed. In fact, if General Lei Dian and his men really knew about her existence, she would find it interesting and be curious about their reactions.

But...Sara has said it like this.

If I speak out what's really in my heart, would that be considered a slap in Sara's face?

Although, given Sara's personality, even if he expressed his true thoughts, Sara would probably not say anything. Instead, he would use his brain again to make up for Gui Yifa Yan's statement, and then think about its deeper meaning, just like Xiao Di would comprehend seven or eight layers of meaning in every word of Bone King.

But...anyway, it's hard to bring it up, I'm kind of stuck in a dilemma.

"Alright, alright, it's exposed, it's nothing."

Gui Yifayan stepped forward and said, "There are ways to avoid being exposed before it's exposed, and there are countermeasures after it's exposed. Since the situation is irreversible, arguing like this will not achieve anything."

"...Yes, it's my fault for being too nosy."
