Chapter 54: Chapter 54
After learning about having several martial sisters, Jiang Ning finally went to deliver the materials to Xiaoyu.
When going down the mountain, he didn't see Madame Ping, but there was a table by the flower bed with several incense burners and flower-trimming tools.
When he arrived at Xiaoyu's place, she was writing furiously.
There were quite a few commissions lately, and she hadn't even noticed Jiang Ning's arrival.
"Sister Xiaoyu, are you busy?"
Jiang Ning knocked on the table and asked.
Xiaoyu looked up in confusion and saw a youth whose first impression was simply delectable.
"Ah, Jiang Ning, what brings you here?"
For Yuehai Pavilion, her department was considered quite remote.
Usually, nobody would come here.
But today, when she was at her busiest and most tired, Yuehai Pavilion's beloved junior had come and sweetly called her sister.
Who understands? Little Jiang Ning was just... too perfect!
Xiaoyu maintained her composure on the surface, but inside she was already cheering.
"Little Jiang Ning, what brings you to see me?"
Xiaoyu's voice was cheerful.
Jiang Ning took out a stack of documents from his bag:
"These are from Senior Sister Ganyu, she said they're commissions to be posted."
"Alright, alright... Wait, this many?"
Xiaoyu was incredulous. This, this this this, if each page was one commission, there must be over a hundred!
She took back her previous thoughts. Little Jiang Ning's arrival wasn't good at all - this was practically taking her life!
In the face of work, even beauty sometimes appeared as nothing more than a skull with rouge.
Even though Little Jiang Ning hit all of Xiaoyu's preferences, when she looked at him now, she seemed to see small wings and a tail behind him, with two horns on his head.
And in his hands were not documents, but a fork.
He was simply a little devil, opening with such cruel words... work.
But thinking about Little Jiang Ning being like this, Xiaoyu found it even more exciting. What should she do?
Shaking her head, Xiaoyu said, "Fine... put them over there."
Seeing Xiaoyu's dejected working expression, Jiang Ning hesitated, then said:
"Um, thanks for your hard work. Here, this is for you."
Jiang Ning took out a paper-wrapped candied haw and placed it in front of Xiaoyu.
"Eat something sweet. It'll give you more energy to work... finish early and you can leave early..."
After hesitating, Jiang Ning pulled out several commission documents.
"I'll take these. I'll handle these in my spare time."
These all involved civilian matters and could be done in public view.
This way, he could do Xiaoyu a favor while also doing good deeds in public...
This was something Jiang Ning learned from an elder at Yuehai Pavilion.
Only when people see your efforts do they count.
This was very practical.
That's why Jiang Ning took out these documents - they were all good opportunities to increase his reputation.
Xiaoyu was immediately moved:
"Little Jiang Ning! You truly are a reincarnated adeptus!"
Jiang Ning laughed awkwardly: "It's not that dramatic... Well, I've delivered everything, so I'll be going now."
With that, he bid farewell to Xiaoyu.
Xiaoyu carefully unwrapped the candied haw and put it in her mouth.
Her eyes immediately curved into crescents.
Indeed, it was so sweet...
...
"Let me see... Ah, perfect timing. Take the Silk Flower and Glaze Lily seeds from the warehouse, along with the maintenance supplies, to Yujing Terrace..."
Just as Jiang Ning was about to leave, he looked at the commission documents in his hand and immediately stopped.
The warehouse was by the docks, and he quickly collected these large boxes of items.
Under everyone's amazed gazes, he placed them in the storage tool given by his master.
Adeptal items were similar to the storage rings in novels.
Only after Jiang Ning left did the warehouse workers start whispering among themselves.
"That young man is truly extraordinary, to have such abilities?"
"You don't know? This youth is Senior Ganyu's junior brother from Yuehai Pavilion, an adeptus's disciple. Having such abilities isn't surprising."
"Really? Truly a talented youth."
"Um, am I the only one who thinks this youth is quite handsome... Why are you all looking at me like that?"
"You're just saying that now? Anyone who isn't blind thinks so!"
Meanwhile, Jiang Ning, trying to save time, was rapidly jumping across Liyue's rooftops and eaves, quickly approaching Yujing Terrace.
The nearby Millelith were used to it by now. Although it wasn't quite proper, firstly, there was no explicit rule against it, and secondly, he was Senior Ganyu's junior brother, so they could only turn a blind eye.
As Jiang Ning hurried along, he thought to himself.
When he had the chance, he should get some Anemo element. Maybe with Anemo control, he'd have the chance to fly.
The Skyward Spine he currently had couldn't make him fly at all.
Moreover, honestly, though he wanted to use the Skyward Spine as a divine weapon, he felt using it for everyday tasks was like using a cannon to shoot mosquitoes.
Senior Sister's Calamity Queller was different because she had been using it since childhood and had no backup weapons.
Plus, Senior Sister didn't know what it meant to be careful with things.
That's why she kept using it.
Moreover, he had gotten used to his original Millelith halberd. Even if he wanted to switch to the Skyward Spine, he would need time to adjust.
Jiang Ning gave himself a deadline - he had to be familiar with using the Skyward Spine before heading to Mondstadt.
Then, he could give the people of Mondstadt a little shock: Look, your Barbatos's Skyward series divine weapons are really useful.
We in Liyue are very satisfied.
However, Jiang Ning found it strange that while Rex Lapis's divine weapons were all kept within Liyue's borders, like that greatsword still stuck there where no one dared touch it.
How did the Anemo Archon's items end up being legally auctioned?
Jiang Ning felt that in the future, he should also have the same prestige as Morax.
When he arrived at Yujing Terrace, Madame Ping still maintained her elderly appearance while tending to the flowers.
But now Jiang Ning wouldn't be fooled by her appearance.
"Granny Ping."
Jiang Ning stood before her with a respectful expression.
Madame Ping looked at Jiang Ning: "It seems Ganyu has told you about me. No need to be formal, just treat this old woman as an ordinary person."
Though she said this, Jiang Ning didn't dare to be careless.
He quickly took out the commissioned items.
"Granny, these are the Silk Flower seeds, these are the Glaze Lilies, and these are the tools..."
