Jean's face turned red as she listened, and she quickly covered Lisa's mouth with her hand.
She was afraid that if she kept listening, she would hear something even more embarrassing.
Because even this was already more than she could handle.
A few minutes later, Lisa finally settled down, and only then did Jean let her go.
"Forget it. Since you're unwilling to listen, then if someone uses this kind of method on Su Han later, don't regret it. Don't forget, the Tianquan of Liyue is much more proactive than you."
"I…"
Jean originally wanted to say there was no need.
But Ningguang's existence truly posed a huge threat to her.
As someone in a high position as well, Jean naturally understood Su Han's strategic importance. As long as he was around, he could almost change the situation of an entire nation.
The other party already had the advantage of proximity.
If she didn't work harder, then one day when Su Han lost his sense of novelty, she wouldn't even have a place to cry in regret.
Thinking of this, Jean finally made up her decision.
Anyway, only Su Han would see it. What was there for her to be afraid of?
Thus, Jean gritted her teeth and said, "Alright, I'll listen to you. But you must promise not to tell anyone."
"That's more like it. Let big sister teach you how to please a man."
Lisa's face was full of smiles. As for why she enjoyed teasing Jean like this, no one knew.
...
Inside the Knights of Favonius.
Kaeya was promoting the way of the knight.
Using the manga as a reference, he spoke about the virtues of knights.
"Once, we took freedom as our slogan, yet nearly caused Mondstadt to fall into the abyss."
"But this is not our fault, nor is it the fault of the Anemo Archon."
"It is because we misunderstood the spirit of knighthood!"
"A true knight should be like those in the manga: upright, loyal, and passionate."
"We yearn for all that is beautiful!"
"We pursue all that is beautiful!"
Upon hearing this, the knights all revealed excited expressions.
Could they really become like that?
If it were true, they would surely be admired by countless people.
After finishing his speech, Kaeya looked at everyone and said, "I don't expect you to be perfect, but we should strive to achieve these ideals. Not for anything else, but because we are the Knights of Favonius of Mondstadt."
"We are the Knights of Favonius of Mondstadt!"
Everyone roared with excitement.
They wished they could vent all the frustration they had accumulated over the years.
Seeing this, Kaeya was very satisfied. Then he said, "Since you all have confidence, let's begin today's training. We'll start with mastering Haki and the Golden Light Spell."
Strength was the foundation for putting everything into practice.
In this dangerous world,
without strength, no matter how loudly you shouted slogans, being unable to protect your homeland would make everything empty talk.
Everyone had just experienced disaster.
Naturally, they understood the importance of strength.
So now, every single person was training with all their might. Even if their fists were covered in blood, they did not stop.
They did not want to repeat the same mistakes. They did not want to watch helplessly from the sidelines when their homeland faced danger.
Everyone shared only one thought: become stronger!
Watching the knights train with such madness and determination, Kaeya could not help but think of Diluc going to meet Su Han, wondering how things were going now.
Would he be rejected,
or something else?
He did not have the other party's Den Den Mushi.
After all, such items were rare right now and were all used for critical purposes.
If one wanted personal use, it would probably take a long time.
On the streets of Liyue.
At the entrance of the manga shop, Lumine stood there wearing the outfit of the King of Knights.
The level of accuracy was about ninety percent.
Countless children and fans were stunned by her appearance.
"Wow, she really looks like King Arthur!"
"Yeah, it's like King Arthur has been reborn!"
"Huh? There's an option for a photo over there. Five thousand Mora each… wow, I want one!"
"Me too!"
Paimon was completely dumbfounded as she watched the large number of fans paying for photos.
She thought her method would at most help promote the manga, but she didn't expect Su Han to suddenly add a paid photo option, attracting so many people.
Five thousand Mora.
That was far more expensive than the manga.
However, Paimon underestimated the appeal of the manga,
as well as the powerful influence of the two-dimensional culture.
Although Liyue didn't yet have such a culture, with the rise of manga, this trend had already begun to take shape.
And this time was merely a test by Su Han.
The result was an overwhelming number of paying customers.
Lumine simply stood there.
Click.
One photo taken.
Five thousand Mora earned.
At first, she felt a bit embarrassed.
But as a large amount of Mora kept coming in, Lumine gradually began to experience the joy of money and even started to actively cooperate with expressions.
For example, smiling.
For example, making a peace sign.
Of course, there were restrictions for photos as well.
Those with improper clothing or untidy appearances
were excluded from taking photos.
In just one morning, they earned five million Mora.
When Paimon learned this number, her eyes turned into coins.
"Lumine, how about we stop taking risks? Let's just tour various nations and perform. This is way too profitable. Just like Su Han said, this is the treatment of a superstar."
"You're the one talking. I've been standing all morning, I'm exhausted."
Lumine rubbed her waist, looking uncomfortable.
This time it wasn't just her waist that ached; her face was almost stiff from smiling.
Making money was great,
but constantly forcing a smile was exhausting.
Besides, she took on commissions not for Mora, but to explore different places and search for traces of her brother.
If she only wanted money,
she might as well start a business herself.
The two walked toward the backyard of the manga shop. When they reached the alley, they unexpectedly ran into Diluc.
"Huh? Diluc, why are you in Liyue?"
"Paimon, Lumine, you're here too?"
Diluc did not expect to run into them here either.
What a coincidence.
When he explained that he had come to ask Su Han for help,
Paimon and Lumine exchanged a glance, feeling that this matter would be difficult.
Seeing their reaction, Diluc asked, "What? Is Mr. Su not available, or has he gone out?"
"It's not that. It's mainly that Su Han doesn't have much time. He's busy every day, so if you want him to train you personally, it will probably be very difficult."
Paimon was the type to speak her mind.
Since she said Su Han was busy, then he truly was busy.
Diluc had already been mentally prepared for this. He said, "Then is Mr. Su at home today? I'd like to meet him first."
"He should be. Let's go in together and take a look. It's just about time for lunch anyway."
"Alright, thank you."
Led by Paimon and Lumine, Diluc arrived at the small courtyard of the manga shop.
It was extremely quiet here, forming a sharp contrast with the noise outside.
It could be said that the moment one stepped inside, all sound was completely cut off.
Diluc revealed a surprised expression. He didn't expect such an effect from a small courtyard. Truly worthy of someone favored by the adepti.
"Su Han, are you home?"
"Something wrong?"
Hearing Paimon's call, the second-floor window opened.
Su Han leaned out and looked at Diluc, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Why had he come here?
