Chapter 652 Sister Ganyu, fellow travelers, other meanings

Liyue Harbor Pier.

After Jiang Yi and Gan Yu landed, they lifted the magic that concealed their figures and walked out of the corner.

The pier is bustling with people.

But no one saw Jiang Yi, and after recognizing him as the "Liyue Flying Sword Master" and "Mondstadt Honorary Knight" who was reported many times in the gossip column of Fontaine's "Steam Bird Newspaper" and who loved beautiful women, they bowed down and called him immortal.

After all, there are many legends and rumors about the strange phenomenon that happened in the clouds that day.

Many people say that the "Flying Sword Master" became an immortal on that day, but many of them are just following the trend. There are actually very few people who truly believe in it and have the courage to come up and pay homage to him and say that he is the "Flying Sword Immortal."

The man before, let’s call him “Xin Cheng”, was the first one.

Therefore, Jiang Yi said that he had a destiny with immortals.

Regardless of whether he really believed it or not, he saw an immortal and called him an immortal, so Jiang Yi also took the immortal's luck.

This became the beginning of the legend of immortals testing mortals.

"Ten thousand merchants come in droves, thousands of ships arrive one after another, all kinds of goods are sold out, and all the seas are visible." Ganyu looked at the endless blue sea, at the large ships that came to Liyue on the sea, as well as the goods unloaded from the ships, and the merchants and tourists who got off.

That is boundless prosperity, that is magnificent beauty, that is the praise of the seven countries for this place.

Behind this is the hard work of every single person in Liyue.

She once worked with the desire to be worthy of this prosperity.

Coming to this familiar port, listening to the sound of the waves, smelling the nostalgic sea breeze...

She seemed to have become a member of the mortal town again.

At this moment, I am looking at the sea view as usual.

The extraordinary temperament that he had cultivated in the mountains during these days was obscured by the mundane world.

"That visitor to the immortal said that I am not an immortal, or even a fairy child, but a visitor to the immortal without any immortal aura. There is some truth to that."

"Before you came, Jiang Yi, I hadn't been back to Jueyunjian for a thousand years. After entering Jueyunjian, I really looked more like a visitor to the immortals, rather than a Qilin fairy beast returning to the immortal's residence."

"I thought that if I returned to Jueyunwen and practiced hard, I could regain my status as an immortal. But...it turned out not to be possible."

"I have been in the human world for too long. All I have seen and heard are human affairs, and all I have done is human reasoning."

“Perhaps the tone of his voice also indicates that he is from the city.”

Gan Yu looked at the bustling crowd and the shouts of the workers unloading goods, feeling filled with emotion.

Counting the time she spent leaving Yuehaiting to go to Jueyunjian, and the time she was too busy at work and had to work overtime to go out, she hadn't come here for a walk for a long time.

During this time, I had many feelings.

"Isn't this... Sister Ganyu?" A middle-aged man with short gray hair came over, holding a fishing rod in one hand and a fish basket in the other.

"Hahaha... I didn't expect to see you here today. I remember you were very busy."

"Uncle Tian?" Ganyu was surprised.

"Greetings to Tianshu Star." Jiang Yi saluted casually.

"It's Jiang Yi!" Uncle Tian looked at the young man who had come with Xian to question Liyue, and then joined everyone in Liyue Harbor to fight against Osel.

In fact, after that day, he and Jiang Yi met several times at the dock.

We went fishing together twice in silence.

"You don't have to call me Tianshu Star. Just think of me as a forgetful and long-winded old man who fishes and takes a walk at the harbor." Uncle Tian said with a smile, "Hide your identity as one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, so that you won't be watched by those Qianyan soldiers with spears, who are afraid that something might happen to me."

Jiang Yi nodded.

Gan Yu coughed twice: "Uncle Tian, ​​considering your current reputation, you'd better not call me 'Sister Gan Yu'..."

"Jiang Yi, although Uncle Tian is old, he is highly respected and no one has ever been able to replace him. At this moment, he is still in charge of Liyue's major affairs."

Uncle Tian: "Sorry, I didn't mean to call you that. It's just a habit I developed when I was young."

Tian Shuxing, who already looked old, looked at Ganyu, who was still young.

"Thank you for taking care of me when I first ascended to the 'Seven Stars' position."

"Now, to be evaluated in this way by you, my decades of work have not been in vain."

Gan Yu waved her hand and said, "It's not a favor. It's just my job as the secretary of Seven Stars. There's no need to thank me."

Jiang Yi watched the conversation between the old and the young with a smile.

The power of time and the gap between eternal life and short life once again impacted his soul.

I clearly know this, but when I encounter this situation, I still feel strongly about it.

Speaking of 'secretary', Uncle Tian and Ganyu talked about his daughter.

His daughter Huixin, who works at Yuehai Pavilion, has been in some trouble recently. Now that she has grown up, she is unwilling to ask an old man like him for help, and hopes that Sister Ganyu can go and give her some advice.

Ganyu knew and had seen that junior, so she naturally nodded in agreement.

Tianshu star seeks each other.

Helping the 'Seven Stars' out of trouble has always been within her scope of responsibility.

She slipped into the role of Seven Stars Secretary quite naturally.

Jiang Yi accompanied Gan Yu to Yuehai Pavilion and teased, "This kind of life is more familiar, isn't it?"

"But this is still loneliness in the crowd." Ganyu did not hide her feelings.

When I saw Tianshu Star today, I felt that another generation is about to pass away.

Therefore, she is the "inhuman creature".

The state of mind of practicing alone in Jueyunjian and escaping and handling documents alone behind the desk in Yuehaiting seemed to be similar.

Millennia.

The world has changed dramatically, and I have seen generation after generation of people.

This period of time is so long that it is hard for mortals to imagine.

It was so long that the colored lilies that bloomed all over Dihuazhou disappeared after the flood; it was so long that the bustling market town of Guiliyuan turned into ruins after the war; it was so long that Liyue Harbor went from nothing to its current prosperous scene.

But to her, everything was just a short period of time that passed by in the blink of an eye.

Sitting on the Yujing Terrace, handling various affairs.

I have personally recorded the completion of every building, witnessed the prosperity of every industry, and witnessed the departure of every colleague.

So, loneliness.

Her objective feeling of the passage of time comes from the ever-increasing numbers on the white paper and from the tables that always need more colors to distinguish the contents.

People praised her for her rock-hard perseverance beneath her quiet and gentle appearance.

But who would have known that time and work could not change her mind, but the loneliness brought about by the difficulty in getting along with others...almost swallowed her up.

She saw it as the human sea's rejection of "inhuman things".

Immortal blood became his excuse to hide in the mountains.

"I have also become a 'non-human thing'." Jiang Yi's perception of emotions could sense the changes in Gan Yu's heart, and he spoke softly, as if to remind her.

Ganyu looked at Yuehai Pavilion.

"So, according to the contract, I will not let you feel this loneliness."

“Let’s rely on each other and continue to exist and bear witness together.”

She smiled, wanting to convey that warmth to Jiang Yi's heart.

These are the people who walk with you over the years.

It would be even better if Jiang Yi was willing to work overtime with her.

Jiang Yi seemed to have heard Gan Yu's thoughts and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

No! I just promised to watch the clouds and the sea with you.

I didn't agree to work overtime with you.

The following events are as seen in Jiang Yi’s game.

Ganyu met Uncle Tian's daughter and understood her troubles.

The tax reporting of the two stores "Rongfa Shop" and "Wanyou Shop" in Liyue Port was abnormal, but no matter whether it was questioned or checked, it was difficult to find evidence to expose them.

Ganyu uses thousands of years of work experience to demonstrate decisive action and wisdom.

I have dealt with similar incidents hundreds of times. This time, I chose the one that "the person who knows a person best is often his enemy." This method allowed the two competing shop owners to report on each other.

You praise the other company's excellent credit in front of the other party, and the other company's active tax filing, saying that you will give the big order of Yuehaiting to the other company, but your company's credit is not enough and you are not qualified, so you will not consider it.

Jiang Yi watched all the way, seeing Gan Yu showing a different side that was different from when she was in Jueyunjian and when she was handling documents at the desk.

A sense of oppression and deep schemes that a senior sister would never show in front of him.

When the shop owner heard Ganyu praising his competitor, he gnashed his teeth in hatred.

Watching others make money is more painful than losing money yourself.

He asked Ganyu to produce the other party's tax return so that he could point out the strangeness in it and let Yue Haiting re-evaluate the other party's credit.

It's easy from now on.

The owner of Wanyou Shop always knows the business of his competitors and can quickly find out the oddities or omissions on their tax bills.

When Rongfa Shop saw the evidence produced by Yue Haiting and thought of the competitor's denunciation, it decided to go all out and report the competitor's tax evasion.

"You really have the demeanor of a senior." After the matter was over, Jiang Yi watched Hui Xin leave with admiration, and boasted to Gan Yu.

"Besides, you are more energetic now than when you were in Jueyunjian."

"When he saw the Fatui who might have occupied the residents' warehouse, he beat him up very neatly."

Gan Yu always felt that Jiang Yi was making fun of her.

"If you work here for a thousand years, you will understand."

"Also, the strategy you just used, 'the one who knows a man best is often his enemy', is what Uncle Tian often does. I just learned these principles from it."

"Let your opponent and his own enemies tie each other up, so that you can stand on the sidelines and remain invincible."

"It is precisely because of this that Uncle Tian has been able to sit firmly on the position of 'Seven Stars' for so many years."

Jiang Yi clapped his hands.

"You taught Huixin using the method of Huixin's father, and then you were honest with him in the end. You let him understand his father."

"Kill two birds with one stone. I solved her work and family problems at the same time."

"Senior Sister, do you think that these complicated human affairs can be understood by a fairy beast from the mountains who has never been in the mortal world?"

"The answer is already there, isn't it?"

Ganyu let out a breath.

"Let's first accept Hui Xin's thanks and go eat."

Jiang Yi smiled and nodded.

"By the way, the Fatui said he was just picking raspberries, and then you beat him up. Senior Sister, what do you think?"

Gan Yu didn't know why Jiang Yi asked this question.

"Hmph! It's just my intuition. The Fatui have always been scheming and plotting. After their last raid, attacking them in Liyue will not affect diplomacy."

"Besides, Jiang Yi, you have always had a bad relationship with the Fatui, right? In Mondstadt, there are Fatui trying to deal with you. I saw it in the newspaper."

Jiang Yi observed a second of silence for the Fatui who was suspected to be a new recruit of Tartaglia.

Forget it, as long as senior sister is happy.

What does it have to do with me if the Fatui are wronged and wronged? I am not the Fatui's executive officer, nor their boss.

Hey.

……

In the New Moon Pavilion.

Huixin expressed her gratitude to Ganyu, and also talked about her mental journey of growing up hearing Ganyu's stories and being attracted by her, so she decided to work at Yuehaiting.

Her daughter also inherited her dream and wanted to become Yue Haiting's secretary.

Fathers, daughters, and grandchildren, generation after generation, have been looking to Gan Yu for guidance.

Ganyu closed her eyes and then opened them.

"Jiang Yi, you promised me a future where I would no longer be alone, and her words truly made me feel the connection between me and this sea of ​​people in Liyue Harbor, in addition to the 'contract' that the Rock Emperor made with me."

“That feeling of being relied upon, recognized, and longed for.”

"The one and only Ganyu Senior..."

She stood up and walked towards Yuehai Pavilion: "In these thousands of years, I have found something other than loneliness."

“This meaning is enough.”

"In order to live up to their trust in me, I will continue to fulfill the 'contract' and continue to serve as the secretary of the 'Seven Stars' to seek the greatest welfare for all people."

"Go and see if that's the misunderstanding you mentioned!"

"Even if I am excluded, I will fight for it."

Jiang Yi was happy for her, but also felt bad for having to work overtime.

"I think I should first ask for overtime pay and rest time before going to work..." He muttered, following behind.

The sun is shining brightly, and in front of Yujing Terrace, the immortal beasts return to the human world.
