Chapter 54 Return to Wangshu Inn
Anyway, after saving Shen He this time, Gu Chen and the three immortals Jue Yunjian became familiar with each other.
Especially Zhenjun Liuyunjiefeng, this woman seemed to admire Gu Chen very much.
Well, that should be the case.
After chatting with them for a few more words, as the sun rose higher and it was getting to noon, Gu Chen and Paimeng took the opportunity to say goodbye:
"Master Liuyun, I have a friend waiting for me at Wangshu Inn. I can't let her worry all the time, so we'll go back now."
Liu Yun nodded reservedly:
"No matter what, you saved my disciple this time. I owe you a favor."
Gu Chen smiled and bowed:
"It's really not easy to gain the favor of an immortal. I am grateful for it."
After saying that, he looked at Shen He again:
"Miss Shen He, just take good care of yourself. We'll meet again if we're lucky."
Shen He rarely smiled and nodded:
"See you again if we are destined."
Afterwards, Gu Chen said goodbye to the True Lords Xueyue Zhuyang and Lishui Dieshan in turn, and his etiquette was very appropriate.
Seeing this, Xiao also suggested going back to Wangshu Inn with Gu Chen.
They were all old friends, and the three immortals Jue Yunjian did not try to keep them, and just watched them leave.
So, Paimeng turned into starlight again and attached himself to Gu Chen.
Gu Chen and Xiao took off from the ground, flew quickly towards Wangshu Inn, and soon left Jueyunjian.
Not long after, Xiao turned into a breeze and returned silently to the top rooftop of Wangshu Inn.
Gu Chen fell from the sky and landed on the main platform in the middle of Wangshu Inn.
Noelle has been waiting for him here since morning.
Seeing Gu Chen and Paimon coming back, Noelle finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurried over to inquire about the situation:
"Senior! Paimon! You...I'm so glad you're all okay!"
Looking at Noelle's worried eyes, Gu Chen smiled and touched her head:
“Sorry for worrying Noelle, we’re fine.
It just took about a morning to sort out some...problems."
"What kind of trouble is it?"
"Can you tell us?"
Hearing these two sincere questions, Gu Chen and Paimeng turned their heads to look.
It turned out to be Philgodette and Huaian who rushed over after hearing the news.
Yes, as intelligence agents under Ningguang, these two people probably won’t be able to sleep well at night unless they find out what exactly happened.
Paimon didn't know their true identities. She covered her forehead and hesitated for a moment:
"Um... this... Gu Chen, should we tell them both about this?"
Gu Chen smiled at the two of them:
"I can understand how you two feel.
But I'm sorry, the reason involves immortals, so I can't go into details."
Phil Gaudet pondered:
"Involving... immortals?"
Huai'an couldn't help but ask carefully:
"Does it involve the Great Sage who subdues demons?"
Gu Chen shook his head slightly:
“No, it involves other immortals.
As for Xiao, he has returned to the top floor of Wangshu Inn, so you don't have to worry.
Oh, please don’t ask me. It’s really not convenient for me to tell you.
If you are really curious, go to Qingce Village and ask around. The main place where the incident took place is in Qingce Village.
What you can find out is what you can know, and what you can't find out... don't get to the bottom of it."
Having said that, Gu Chen looked at Philgodette and Huaian meaningfully.
The owner and manager of the Wangshu Inn were a little nervous.
The two of them looked at each other, and Huai'an asked carefully:
"Excuse me... do you know our identities?"
This incoherent talk confused Paimeng:
"Huh? Aren't you the owner and manager of Wangshu Inn?
I'm still wondering, can the boss and the shopkeeper exist at the same time?
Who of you two is more powerful? Or are you two in charge of Wangshu Inn together?"
Faced with Paimon's curiosity, Philgodette and Huaian smiled bitterly at each other.
But they still looked at Gu Chen, hoping to get an answer.
Gu Chen smiled mysteriously:
"Your identity has nothing to do with me.
I don't care what you plan to do.
After all, this is your responsibility, I understand."
After hearing this, Philgodette and Huaian basically put their minds at ease.
By now, they both realized it.
This traveler named Gu Chen is no ordinary person, but a man with extraordinary supernatural powers.
It is better not to offend such people if you can.
However, they must report the relevant situation to Lord Tianquanxing. This is their duty.
Now, with Gu Chen's understanding, they both felt much more at ease.
Of course, they were curious about how Gu Chen knew their identities but they did not explore the matter.
They still understand that curiosity kills the cat.
After dealing with Philgodette and Huaian, Gu Chen looked up at the position of the sun.
My goodness, the sun is at its highest point in the sky and it’s already noon. I haven’t realized that I’ve wasted the whole morning.
There is no need to set off on the journey at this time. It is better to have lunch at Wangshu Inn before leaving.
With this idea in mind, they simply ordered a table of food at Wangshu Inn and had a sumptuous lunch.
I don’t know if it was because the kitchen staff received instructions, or maybe the three of them were being taken care of by Wangshu Inn.
This lunch tastes even better than yesterday's! It's basically reached the pinnacle of Liyue cuisine!
Paimon's mouth was full of oil and his eyes were shining
Noelle's eyes sparkled as she ate, filled with surprise.
Gu Chen ate with great satisfaction and nodded continuously.
In addition, during lunch, Noelle remained quiet and did not ask Gu Chen what happened this morning.
Gu Chen also asked Noelle, asking her if she wasn’t curious?
Noelle said nothing else, but smiled and showed off the large rose sewn on her gauntlet.
“Senior, the rose represents keeping one’s mouth shut.
I believe that keeping secrets is one of the most important rules for a knight.
Since Senior didn't say anything, I definitely won't take the initiative to inquire. That would be too offensive."
Looking at Noelle happily, Gu Chen was a little moved:
"I see, Noelle really cares about others...
in fact……
I'm sorry, but there are some things I can't tell you. After all, they involve the immortals of Liyue, and you're from Mondstadt."
Noelle shook her head without complaint.
"Senior, you don't have to apologize. I understand."
It was this wholehearted understanding and consideration that made Gu Chen feel a little embarrassed.
Looking at the roses on Noelle, Gu Chen suddenly had some teasing thoughts:
"Noelle, do you know what roses represent in my original world?"
Noelle was stunned:
"What does it mean? Isn't it about keeping secrets?"
"It represents passionate love."
"Eh!?"
Noelle's face turned red, almost the same color as the roses.
