Genshin Impact: Great, you guys still remember

He Li felt that he seemed to have underestimated the girl's love for him.

He was worried that the difference in status would make them feel distant.

“Are you the one who sang for me?”

"yes,"

"Will you massage my feet again?"

"certainly,"

"Are you my fake boyfriend?"

"You have the final say,"

"Then what are you worried about?"

Yeah, what is he worried about?

You know, when he met her, he had nothing.

Now that you've become more powerful, you're becoming timid?

It is true that people become more pretentious as they grow older.

But I want to understand it,

Compared to the demon god, Eula cares more about something else...

She lifted her feet that were resting on his knees, twisted his belly, and looking at his grinning face, she said coquettishly:

"You're so good. No wonder you don't want to come back. It turns out you have three wives and four concubines in Liyue."

...

The Gunhild family is located on the lakeside west of Mondstadt.

This is a very old family, and its origins are even older than Barbatos.

So far, countless Knights of Favonius have been born.

So this is both a noble and a knight family.

Having been in Mondstadt for many years, He Li had naturally seen this family.

But that was just a look from the outside. This is the first time I officially entered.

...

The warm sunlight shines through the huge colored glass and falls on the ancient medieval stone pillars. The mottled and heavy stone walls are scattered with dazzling colors.

Ta-ta-ta,

The sound of heels hitting marble slabs could be heard as three people walked down the hall.

Qin distanced herself from He Li for the first time, her back straight, her eyes looking straight ahead, the long sword at her waist swaying with her movements, and her knight's uniform changed into a more decent casual dress.

He Li was at the same level as her, with black hair tied up, a calm look, a smile on his lips, and he would occasionally reply to the other person's words.

The one in front of them was a tall woman...it would be more appropriate to call her a female knight.

Her blonde hair, which was exactly the same as Qin's, was neatly tied up on her head.

Although she was a woman, she walked with big strides, and the distance of each step was almost the same. She wore the common clothes of the nobility, but it still couldn't hide her aura.

Sharp but not cold.

Perhaps it was due to the passage of time, Qin said that her aura had softened a lot compared to before.

Frederica Gunnhildr, Jean and Barbara's mother.

...

"The Gunhild family, as the earliest practitioner of freedom, overthrew the rule of the tyrant together with Lord Wind God 2,600 years ago."

Frederica's voice was somewhat cold:

"About a thousand years ago, the Gunhild family assisted Lord Barbatos and Her Highness Vanessa in overthrowing the old aristocratic system.

Later, Her Highness Vanessa founded the Knights of Favonius, and the family supported her. Mondstadt truly entered an era of peace and freedom..."

She told the family history without looking back.

He Li, who was standing behind him, heard something different.

Is this pressure, a test?

At this point, she suddenly turned to look at He Li, her expression unchanged:

"Now, our family has a history of 2,600 years. I am the eldest daughter of the family, and Qin is also my eldest daughter. Do you understand?"

After she finished speaking, the pressure she was emitting invisibly reached its peak. She narrowed her eyes slightly to observe He Li's expression.

"I understand, Qin has already told me."

He Li just smiled and nodded to Qin behind her.

Frederica was a little surprised.

This young man is neither humble nor arrogant...

Much better than that old man was back then.

The three continued walking and gradually came to a long corridor.

There are many portraits at both ends of the corridor, with each person's life introduction below.

"After the old nobles, Mondstadt gradually gave rise to the Four Wind Guardians, which was the original Wolf of the North Wind, Lord Ravenwood..."

He Li and Qin followed behind her, watching the stories one by one as she told them.

Until somewhere, He Li suddenly stopped.

It was a slightly blurry picture.

"Young wolf, leave,"

Seeing him stop, Frederica walked up to him and introduced:

"Five hundred years ago, the Guardian of the North Wind, the founder of the West Wind Sword Technique, was the one who fought against the monsters with his sword, and Mondstadt was able to be defended."

At this point, she sighed:

"It's a pity that the young hero died under the snowy mountains in the end."

【Just an egomaniac】

Muttering sounds echoed in Qin's mind.

Qin just smiled and looked at He Li standing in front of the portrait without responding.

He Li suddenly said:

"Perhaps he wanted to keep countless knights younger than him alive."

Frederica shook her head.

"All is past, how can we know about such people?"

As she spoke, she looked at the slightly blurry black-haired knight in the picture, with a hint of regret in her eyes:

"It's a pity that for some reason, this portrait is very blurry, and his heroic figure no longer exists in the world."

After saying this, she wanted to turn around and leave, but she seemed to realize something.

She suddenly glanced at the young man in front of her, and then looked at the portrait on the wall.

He Li asked:

"What's wrong with you?"

"fine,"

Frederica turned around, and patted her forehead out of sight.

Weird.

...

The previous test was just a casual one. Born into an aristocratic family, Frederica naturally knew how to entertain guests.

What's more, he was the man Qin brought back.

Maybe it's because of my age, or maybe it's because of divorce,

When I look back at the past, I can’t help but reflect on it.

Was the way I taught Qin in the past too harsh?

But after reflecting on it, she was very satisfied with her daughter.

Justice, strong sense of responsibility, and perseverance...

However, perhaps due to the lack of her father's company, she was somewhat slow in expressing her feelings.

But being slow is also a good thing, because it means you have high standards.

It also means that I won't be fooled into eloping like I used to be...

Bringing a man back this time was beyond Frederica's expectation.

She trusted her daughter's judgment and asked a few probing questions, which was quite decent.

My daughter likes him and he is a good man, so she won’t make things difficult for him.

...

Qin's habit of drinking black tea comes from her mother.

Like Qin, the black tea that Frederica brewed was also fragrant.

"Thank you, auntie,"

He Li was very sensitive. After seeing her making tea with her own hands, he knew her attitude.

After taking the tea, he quickly changed his words.

"You are welcome,"

Seeing He Li taking the teapot to add tea for herself, she suddenly asked:

"Do you know what a knight is?"

He Li replied: "Humble, just, noble,"

Frederica asked again:

"Why no martial arts?"

"Martial arts..."

He Li didn't think much about it:

"Martial arts are just armaments. Those are the soul of a knight."

"good,"

Frederica praised him, then her face fell.

"Did you know that the Gunnhild family never married outside the family?"

"Mother..."

When Jean heard her mention this, she stood up and was about to say something, but was stopped by Frederica's outstretched hand.

Frederica stared at him, waiting for his answer.

He Li thought for a moment before saying:

"Of course I know that the family needs to continue. Of course I understand this, but..."

He paused, then suddenly laughed:

"As far as I know, my aunt must have married someone from outside the family."

"..."

Frederica was stunned for a moment, then smiled:

"You are well-informed. That man made a lot of promises in the past, and I was young and ignorant, so I naturally believed him. Later I found out that they were all empty words."

Unlike her appearance, she used to be a girl who yearned for freedom, otherwise she would have eloped with him despite her family's opposition...

"How do you prove you're not just empty talk?"

She crossed her arms over her chest, crossed her long legs and leaned slightly against the back of the chair.

"The answer lies in the sword of the younger generation,"

He Li replied.

[Here comes this trick again]

The golden lion curled his lips, sank into the sword and no longer looked out.

What is this move?

Qin was a little curious.

He Li stood up, clasped his fists, and his expression gradually became solemn:

"I have a sword, the name of the sword is Guardian."

...

As he stood up, a pink figure slipped out from behind him.

Soon after, thunder sounded in the sky and rain fell lightly.
