Chapter 171 I still have to tell Ganyu
Gan Yu did not hide her doubts from Gu Chen. She answered weakly:
"As you can see, the environment here is very quiet, and the water in this rock pond is very clean. I like it very much.
I discovered this place a long time ago.
Since then, I have regarded this place as my private secret base.
Whenever I’m too busy at work and the pressure is almost accumulated, I come here to take a bath and relieve the stress.”
Come here to take a bath and relieve stress?
Gu Chen couldn't help but have a question mark in his head.
I've never heard that Ganyu has this habit.
Wait, wait, wait. Now this world is not the original game, so it is not particularly surprising that there are deviations from the game settings. Maybe it is a point that is not shown in the game.
While thinking this, Gu Chen was lost in thought:
“So that’s what happened.
So, it was Qiqi and I who trespassed into your private space without permission. I'm very sorry."
Ganyu shook her head and waved her hand again:
"No no.
It is said to be my secret base, but in fact it is still an unowned land and I have not claimed this stone pond as my own.
Ugh……
Actually, I should have been more vigilant when taking a bath.
At least some triggerable immortal powers should be arranged around.
This way, I can sense when other people or wild animals approach.
Maybe it’s because I never got disturbed every time I took a bath before, so I got used to it over time and lost my vigilance.
I was not careful enough.”
Seeing Ganyu taking the responsibility on herself again, Gu Chen felt really embarrassed.
It was clearly him who got the big advantage, so why does it seem like Ganyu is the one who is wrong?
That doesn't make sense!
Shaking his head, Gu Chen said righteously:
"Anyway, I was offended.
The responsibility this time is mine! Ganyu, you can beat me or scold me as you please!"
Ganyu was caught off guard, her eyes widened:
"There's no need to go to such lengths to beat or scold me..."
Gu Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"I wasn't completely joking just now, I did offend Ganyu.
Ganyu, if you want to teach me a lesson, it's perfectly reasonable, and I should accept it."
"Not to the extent that... not to the extent that..."
Ganyu shook her head and waved her hands again, and it was unclear whether she had taken what had just happened to heart. At least it seemed that she was not going to pursue responsibility.
After easing Ganyu's nervousness through this joking manner, Gu Chen continued:
"Since Ganyu came here to relieve stress, that means... you've been under a lot of pressure lately?"
Speaking of this, Ganyu's expression became a little heavy.
She frowned slightly and nodded slightly:
"Well, I'm really under a lot of pressure and I'm in a bad mood."
Gu Chen carefully tested:
"Is it because of... the Emperor's matter?"
Ganyu continued to nod:
"Out of nowhere, the Emperor suddenly encountered this disaster and nearly perished. To this day, he is still confined to the Golden House, and it is unknown when he will wake up.
If it weren’t for you, Gou Chenxing, who saved the Emperor in time and saved the entire Liyue Harbor, I can’t imagine what the consequences would be.
In my opinion, the Emperor is the patriarch of the entire Liyue, and he is also the common king and father of us immortals and the people of Liyue.
Such a big thing happened to my father, the immortals are furious, and the whole of Liyue is in turmoil. All of this makes me at a loss.
I felt lost, worried, and scared.
Previously at the Qun Yu Pavilion, I heard that the immortals and the Liyue Seven Stars were on the verge of a fight. If it weren't for you to mediate, they would have almost fought!
I am on the side of the immortals, but I am also in the political situation of Liyue. I really don’t know which side to lean towards or how to choose.
After the Emperor's accident, although the Liyue Seven Stars have stabilized the situation, I can feel that the entire Liyue Harbor is in turmoil and a storm is about to come.
On the one hand, I am worried about the Emperor, but on the other hand, I have to help the Liyue Seven Stars stabilize Liyue Harbor.
In this case, I can only divert my attention with complicated work.
Gradually, the pressure accumulated more and more, and my mood became worse and worse.
Finally, tonight I couldn't help myself and came here to relieve the stress."
Listening to Ganyu's self-narration, Gu Chen felt distressed and at the same time felt particularly apologetic.
The reason for the heartache is that Ganyu doesn't know what to do.
Although she has served as the secretary of the Liyue Seven Stars for such a long time, she is still one of the immortals after all.
In the past, when the Emperor was around, there was no conflict between the Liyue Seven Stars and the immortals, so there was naturally no problem for her to be in the middle.
But what if there is a conflict between the Liyue Seven Stars and the immortals?
Then she would naturally feel awkward being caught in the middle.
Fortunately, all this is fake. It was just an illusion of Zhongli's retirement from the beginning to the end. There will be no conflict between the immortals and the Seven Stars of Liyue. It's just a pity that Ganyu was kept in the dark.
The reason why Gu Chen felt a little apologetic was that Gan Yu was kept in the dark.
After Gu Chen and Zhongli teamed up to set up this drama, he immediately ran to Aozang Mountain and explained the inside story to the five immortals.
But Ganyu is not included among these five immortals.
Perhaps the role of Liyue Seven Star Secretary is so deeply rooted in people's hearts that even later on, Gu Chen ignored Ganyu's positioning.
Look, so much time has passed, and Ganyu still doesn’t know the truth, and has been putting pressure on herself.
After thinking about it, Gu Chen felt that this wouldn't work.
I have already hinted to the Seven Stars of Liyue. Maybe they have already noticed some clues and have made some guesses.
Ganyu's mind is too pure, and she has never thought in that direction, so it is difficult for her to see through it on her own.
So... should I tell her something?
Tell her that the Emperor's previous death was completely faked, everything was an illusion, an interpretation, and Zhongli's retirement plan?
I believe that after knowing this, Ganyu’s pressure and entanglement will all disappear, and she will be completely enlightened!
But is it really okay to tell her like this?
I don’t know if Ganyu is good at acting.
If she reveals the truth in advance and the problem starts from her, it will be troublesome.
After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Gu Chen thought, why think so much! ?
I've told you, but Ganyu still can't know the truth?
So, Gu Chen decided to reveal it to Ganyu.
But because Qiqi was beside him, he couldn't explain it directly, so he could only hint at it:
“That… Ganyu.
Have you ever been to the Golden House and seen the Emperor?"
Ganyu shook her head.
"No.
I can't bear to see the Emperor like that. If I saw it with my own eyes, I'm afraid I would feel even worse."
Gu Chen nodded and understood:
"Is that why you numb yourself with excessive workload?
Ganyu, I sincerely suggest that you go to the Golden House to see the Emperor.
Be sure to look carefully and observe closely.
I believe that with your ability, you will be able to detect something.
When you notice something, don't overthink it.
Stay calm, think back, organize everything you know, and deduce the most likely fact, even though it may be unbelievable."
