Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

Chapter 202 The Master of Chatting

The group arrived at Mount Aozang and searched around. Paimon found Gan Yu.

"Miss Gan Yu! So you've been here all along!"

Upon hearing Paimon's voice, Gan Yu paused and turned around.

"Gentlemen... I really didn't expect to meet you here. Is this business or personal? Ah... no, I've now left the mortal world. If it's about port affairs, please go to Moon Sea Pavilion for advice."

Gan Yu's words shocked Paimon, who asked in confusion, "Hey, Miss Gan Yu, are you no longer going to be the secretary for 'Seven Stars'? They're all waiting for you to come back..."

"You want me to go back... So this is what you've come for? I'm sorry, you'll have to leave empty-handed."

"How could this be... Could something have happened?"

"Clouds roll and unroll, tides rise and fall; it's all just history's choice... Ever since the Ascendants returned the power of 'oversight' of Liyue Harbor to the people, I knew that leaving Liyue was only a matter of time... As someone with Ascendant blood, I actually have no place to belong in Liyue Harbor."

Seeing the meaningful expression on Gan Yu's face, Paimon and Ying were at a loss for words.

What's wrong? Am I feeling emo? Can even immortals get depressed?

Noticing the puzzled expressions on their faces, Gan Yu began to explain.

"After delivering the letter, I returned to Liyue Harbor and found that my work had been taken over by Baiwen, Baixiao, and Baishi... I suppose this letter-delivery was just an excuse to get rid of me? Since the Seven Stars have given me the opportunity to make a graceful exit, I should naturally be sensible..."

After listening to Gan Yu's words, looking at the expression on Hui Yuan's face, and recalling the complaints of Bai Wen, Bai Xiao, and Bai Shi, Ying felt that something was very wrong.

"I feel... there's a huge misunderstanding."

Upon hearing the word "misunderstanding," Gan Yu did not give it much thought.

She was quite certain of her thoughts, and the distance on her face grew even stronger.

"I appreciate everyone's kindness, but there's no need for these comforting words. Being able to return to Jueyun Mountain, which I haven't been to for a thousand years, and to see the floating clouds in the mountains, I feel very peaceful now. That's enough."

Seeing Gan Yu's determination to stay, Paimon wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

Just then, the voice of a crane came over; it was the True Lord Liuyun Borrowing the Wind.

"Who is disturbing the tranquility of the mountains?"

Upon seeing the person—no, the bird—Paymon was startled and quickly apologized.

"True Lord of Cloud Retention and Wind Borrowing? I'm so sorry, we..."

Seeing that Paimon was truly fooled by him, Liu Yun smiled jokingly to himself.

"Hehe, just kidding. I noticed you came here the moment you stepped in. So, you've come specifically to catch up with Gan Yu, haven't you? You seem to be having a very pleasant conversation..."

"You had a pleasant conversation?"

Ying was puzzled when she heard the word come out of the bird's mouth.

At the same time, Gan Yu lowered her head and became dejected.

Seeing Gan Yu's appearance, Liu Yun realized what had happened.

"Ah...it seems we don't see eye to eye...No problem, finding topics is something I'm good at. After all, for thousands of years, we've often had to chat with ourselves to pass the time. Oh, by the way, since you're Gan Yu's friends, let me tell you some stories about Gan Yu when she was little..."

"Hey, True Lord Liuyun!"

Seeing Gan Yu's shy expression, Liu Yun smiled.

"Haha... What's so special about that? You were so cute when you were little, your friends must really want to know, right?"

Gan Yu looked troubled. Ying hesitated for a moment, but still admitted it.

"I am... somewhat interested..."

Paimon also raised his hand and said, "I want to hear it! I want to hear it!"

Huiyuan silently turned her head and cast her vote against it.

"I... I think I'll pass."

Seeing Huiyuan's strange expression, Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun tilted his head in confusion.

However, Paimon and Ying looked very expectant, and Liu Yun didn't think much of it, nodding and saying, "Three votes, two in favor, then I'll begin."

Originally, it was thought that since Huiyuan voted against it, Liuyun Zhenjun might be able to escape disaster because of the prestige of the identity of [Rao Luan Tian Zhenjun].

Unexpectedly, Ying and Paimon's identities were also quite valuable, and Huiyuan's one vote in favor could not offset two votes, rendering the veto power ineffective.

Gan Yu couldn't escape the fate of having her dark past exposed, and she sighed helplessly.

Ignoring the gentle rain that seemed to flit about like a mimosa, Lord Liuyun continued his story.

"Hehe... Gan Yu, that child, her favorite thing since she was little was having the horns on her head touched. When I was taking care of her, she could only fall asleep if I touched the horns..."

Seeing that the storytelling session had begun, Paimon listened with curiosity and excitement.

"Wow..."

"Gan Yu was quite chubby back then. How chubby? When she came up the mountain with me, if she slipped even slightly, she would tumble all the way down to the bottom..."

Paimon burst out laughing.

"puff...!"

"...One day, Gan Yu bumped into a visitor seeking immortality. It was the first time she had ever seen a living human. Unexpectedly, she was so frightened that she hid in a crevice in the rocks for two days and two nights. When I found her, she was crying and telling me there was a monster..."

Hearing the story of the True Lord Liuyun Borrowing the Wind, Paimon couldn't hold back his laughter and burst into laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha..."

Seeing that Paimon was so happy, Liu Yun was about to continue speaking, but at that moment, Gan Yu hurriedly interrupted him.

"Liu...Yun...Zhen...Jun!"

Liu Yun looked at Gan Yu, who had suddenly become angry, somewhat puzzled.

Although I was very angry, the other person was still my elder, and I couldn't talk back to my elder, could I?

So Gan Yu made an excuse and hurriedly left.

"...Phew, well, it's almost time for my 'cultivation,' I'll be going now."

After saying this, Gan Yu left behind an ice lotus and quickly retreated, using a Frostbite Transformation technique to escape.

Watching the departing figure, Ying said worriedly, "Gan Yu seems a little angry..."

Liu Yun was completely at a loss. Only after watching the other person disappear from sight did she realize that she was angry, and she belatedly spoke up.

"Well, I just wanted to ease the awkwardness between you two..."

Although Paimon enjoys listening to stories and listens with great interest, he is not as good at chatting as Liuyun Zhenjun.

Paimon knows how to navigate social situations, doesn't he?

"You've successfully multiplied the embarrassment several times over, that's impressive."

Seeing that even Paimon was criticizing him, True Lord Liuyun lowered his head in regret.
