Chapter 9: Stirring Up Trouble for Brother Long
While Jiang Chen and the others were enjoying their dinner at the Hunter's Restaurant, Amber had already returned to the Knights of Favonius to report the information.
That battle was indeed related to Lord Barbatos.
After learning about this, Jean was overjoyed.
"What great news!!"
The Anemo Archon has appeared.
The dragon disaster also seems to have been resolved.
These two pieces of good news excited her immensely.
Recently, she had been troubled by these matters.
Now, things have come to an end.
"Yes, it really is good news."
"But... little Amber~!"
"Did those few really defeat Stormterror?"
"Did Barbatos really say that?"
The big sister in stockings sitting next to Jean yawned while asking about another matter in Amber's report.
That is, Jiang Chen and Lumine.
According to Amber's explanation, Stormterror was defeated by Jiang Chen, and then Barbatos appeared.
Finally, because Jiang Chen helped a lot, Lord Barbatos owed Jiang Chen and the others a big favor.
And promised that they could ask the Knights of Favonius for money in the future?
How does she feel that this is all a scam?
Could it be someone coming to scam for food and drink?
People from another world? Without seeing them, she doesn't quite believe those words!
"Jiang Chen said so."
Amber was a bit embarrassed, she scratched her cheek.
These words were all said by Jiang Chen at the time.
She just repeated Jiang Chen's words.
"Is that so?"
"Then we can't make a conclusion on this matter for now."
"It's late now, bring them over tomorrow."
"Let's meet them first."
As Lisa said this, she yawned again.
This mature big sister stretched, her graceful figure fully displayed.
Unfortunately, this scene is only being seen by a few of the same sex now.
After saying this, Lisa got up to leave.
As she left, she couldn't help but advise:
"Jean, don't stay up late~!"
"There are guests tomorrow."
"Don't end up meeting people with dark circles under your eyes, or your authority as the Acting Grand Master will really be gone."
"That's all for now, I'm going back to rest."
"Little Amber, Jean, good night~!"
After saying that, Lisa left the Knights of Favonius.
Watching Lisa leave, Jean also looked at Amber.
"You go back and rest too."
"I'll meet them tomorrow before deciding."
If it's true, then she naturally won't be stingy.
After all, they are heroes who helped solve a big problem for them, they can't be treated poorly.
If it's fake, then she won't be polite.
Amber nodded.
After saying goodbye to Acting Grand Master Jean, she turned and left. Only Jean remained in the office.
Sighing, she looked at the documents on the table and continued to work.
Let's deal with these documents first.
With this thought, Jean continued to work.
Amber went straight back to her home.
She would go find Jiang Chen and the others tomorrow.
...
After finishing their meal at the Hunter's Restaurant, Jiang Chen, Lumine, and Paimon returned to the hotel.
However, neither of them rested.
Instead, after Paimon rested, Lumine came to Jiang Chen's room to discuss what to do next.
"What do you plan to do next?"
"Stay or travel?"
Having arrived in Mondstadt, she plans to stay here for a while to see if there's any news of her brother.
"Me?"
"I plan to go to Liyue to take a look."
"I heard Liyue is quite similar to my hometown."
"If it's suitable, I'll settle there?"
Yes, Jiang Chen thinks so.
Go to Liyue, then buy a house.
Settle down there directly.
After all, following Lumine means trouble.
Jiang Chen doesn't plan to get involved in those matters.
After all, running around is too troublesome.
It's better to settle directly in Liyue, and when Lumine has something, she can come find him to help.
He does his own thing, Lumine does her own thing.
Hearing Jiang Chen say this, Lumine was stunned.
"You're going to settle in Liyue?"
This answer was a bit unexpected for Lumine.
"Right!"
"After all, I'm just a homebody."
"If Liyue is good, I'll settle directly in Liyue."
"At the very least, I have to make a home first, right?"
For a home, Jiang Chen definitely wants one.
This is ingrained in his bones.
So he must make a home.
Even if it's a thatched cottage.
However, Jiang Chen definitely won't make a thatched cottage.
Make some money in Mondstadt, then go to Liyue to buy land and build it himself.
Hearing Jiang Chen say this, Lumine was stunned.
"Home... huh?"
"Hmm, not bad."
Indeed, Jiang Chen's idea is really good.
"Actually, if you're looking for your brother, I can give you a suggestion."
At this point, Jiang Chen stroked his chin.
Seems like he can stir up some trouble for Brother Long.
Hearing this, Lumine immediately became curious.
"Tell me!"
What suggestion?
As long as it can help find her brother, then it's no problem.
"Have you ever heard of... heavy gold for a son?" As soon as these words came out, Lumine was instantly dumbfounded.
"Ah?"
Good grief, do this?
Memories began to surface in her mind.
Isn't this a scam?
Jiang Chen chuckled, then continued to speak.
"If you post a missing person notice, the results will probably be minimal."
"Since that's the case, why not package it a bit?"
"Your brother is missing, and the family is waiting for him to return and inherit the family property."
"Post a missing person notice, elaborate a bit."
"Find your brother, then you can marry him or something, and finally inherit the family property."
"Then give so much money."
Jiang Chen chuckled.
He began to weave a story for Lumine.
And Lumine, hearing this, slowly lit up.
"Seems... it really could work?"
Lumine began to think about the feasibility of this matter.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt it had potential.
As for family property?
Hmm... it's not like there isn't any.
It's just a matter of how much.
This way, it can still attract many people to search.
Even, some people will help search for the money.
"If there's more money, directly issue a worldwide bounty."
"Find your brother and give so much Mora."
"Believe many people will search for the money, right?"
"As long as the money is enough, the chance of finding your brother is greater."
"If you still can't find him this way, then it means your brother doesn't want to see you."
"Hiding from you on purpose."
"If that's really the case, then such a brother is not worth looking for."
"Maybe he's living it up somewhere."
"Then he doesn't care about you as a sister at all."
"If it were me, wouldn't I have to stab him a few times when we meet?"
Seeing Lumine's interest piqued, Jiang Chen continued to speak.
First, give Brother Long a big X.
Your brother isn't missing, he just doesn't want to see you.
Once a seed is planted, it will sprout.
Hearing Jiang Chen say this, Lumine's heart also began to doubt.
Seems, it makes a lot of sense.
Why is it her looking for her brother, and not her brother looking for her?
This is completely upside down!!
