Original God's Dark Priest

Yaoyao, Ying, Paimeng and Dvorak walked up along the road to Chihu Rock, and soon passed Feiyun Slope and came to Yujing Terrace, where they saw Grandma Ping standing with her hands behind her back.

Seeing Grandma Ping, Yaoyao ran over quickly.

Looking at the little guy who was running out of breath, Grandma Ping couldn't help laughing and said, "Run slower, run slower. Grandma can't walk, you kid..."

The Lantern Festival is approaching. During these days every year, Grandma Ping would habitually come to this familiar place to reminisce about the past, and today is no exception.

Yaoyao scratched the back of her head and said very obediently: "Yaoyao, I haven't seen you for several days. I miss you."

"Okay, okay... Yaoyao is the best at talking." Grandma Ping was made to laugh by Yaoyao. After teasing Yaoyao for a while, she turned to the others, "Ying, Paimeng, are you guys coming back to see your friends during the Lantern Festival?"

Ying was a little embarrassed. Actually, she had been back in Liyue for a while, but she was still the same as before, always working in the fields outside or doing commissions. She rarely visited her friends, so much so that Grandma Ping, who seldom appeared on weekdays, didn't know she was back.

Suppressing her embarrassment, Ran Ying greeted her openly, "Hello, Grandma Ping."

Little Paimeng didn't think too much about it and just treated it as a daily chat: "Grandma Ping is half right. We are still here helping Uncle Dvorak and are preparing to take him to see the Seven Stars."

"Hello, I'm a musician from Fontaine and one of the organizers of the 'Rainbow Tour'... I wonder if you have heard of this name." Dvorak introduced himself and asked in passing, although he didn't hold out any hope.

After all, Grandma Ping is old, and the possibility of an elderly person liking rock music is very low.

Yaoyao was afraid that Grandma Ping didn't know, so she quickly said to her, "Master, Master, the Rainbow Tour is an amazing music festival!"

"Haha... I've never seen anything like this before. A music festival, it sounds great." Grandma Ping chuckled twice and couldn't help but think of the previous Lantern Festival.

That time, she performed on stage with Safire, which caused a sensation.

The name of the Traveler Band has gained a certain degree of popularity in Liyue and even in other countries. Unfortunately, after the performance, several members of the band could no longer be found.

Safire's daily style and reputation were too different from the band's performances, and people would never have thought that the Travelers Band was actually created by a Fatui executive.

Grandma Ping would have even less to worry about. As long as she returned to her old age, no one would be able to find her.

Wendy came and went without a trace, and simply disappeared from the face of the earth.

Manye stayed in the Southern Cross Fleet, drifting on the sea for more than half of the year, and the Traveler Band was like a flash in the pan, and no trace of it could be found anymore.

Ying saw the nostalgia in her eyes and said, "So I think we can add music elements to this year's Lantern Festival, or hold an authentic music festival."

Little Paimeng nodded vigorously: "Yes! What do you think, Grandma Ping? You are an old senior, and you are familiar with all the traditional cultures of Liyue. With your opinion, everyone will have a better direction when making decisions!"

It is always a good idea to say a few nice words when something happens. Although holding the Haideng Music Festival is just a matter of a word given the relationship between Ying and Saphir, both Ying and Paimeng are thinking that it would be more fulfilling if they could find someone to finalize the matter in their own way without going through Saphir.

After praising him, little Paimeng hesitated and said, "Well... So, would Grandma Ping think it's too trendy? Or, do you have any other concerns?"

At first glance, what she said seemed fine, but given their relationship, it was actually inappropriate to say this, because Grandma Ping was well versed in music, and both Ying and little Paimeng knew this. As for why little Paimeng said this.

There is only one reason: to give a step.

It is not only a way out for Grandma Ping, but also a way out for ourselves and others.

If Grandma Ping doesn't want to get involved in this matter, she can just follow what little Paimeng said and change the subject, saying that she is too old to keep up with the fashion. This way, both parties will save face.

If Grandma Ping thinks the idea is good, she can also express her support by denying little Paimeng. After all, little kids only speak without restraint and no one will take it seriously.

I have to say that Ying has made Paimeng more clever.

Grandma Ping's smile deepened and she shook her head: "Of course not. Music is not only a testimony to history and humanity, but also a bridge between different cultures. As times change, the music that young people love today may be different from what I loved back then. But good things are always attractive."

Grandma Ping paused and concluded, "I should say... I'm looking forward to it."

Dvorak was so moved by these words that he could not help but take two steps forward and praised: "Well! Apart from my grandmother, you are the wisest old woman I have ever met."

This made Grandma Ping couldn't help laughing: "Everyone's mouth is as sweet as honey, one is sweeter than the other. Yaoyao, next time you have to give everyone less sweets, remember?"

Yaoyao couldn't help laughing when she heard this: "Master is in a really good mood today. He's even in the mood to joke with us."

After hearing the banter, Grandma Ping realized that she had delayed them for too long, so she started to shoo them away: "Okay, okay, you all have things to do, right? Go and do your own things, don't waste time."

"Thank you, Grandma Ping! We'll see each other again sometime in the future!" Little Paimeng immediately said goodbye with a smile, very politely.

At the entrance of Yuehai Pavilion on Yujing Terrace, Ganyu was instructing Baixiao about matters related to the Lantern Festival: "When you talk to the General Affairs Department about matters related to the Lantern Festival, be sure to remind them more often that they must not become lazy because the festival is approaching."

Bai Xiao, as Ningguang's secretary, was naturally very capable, and he nodded immediately: "I understand, Miss Ganyu, I will take my leave first."

Bai Xiao left, and Ying and his group were about to arrive.

Yaoyao started to call out from a distance: "Sister Ganyu——"

Ganyu heard someone calling her name and immediately turned around to check, and saw a small body crashing into her arms, very intimately.

Gan Yu helped Yaoyao's small body to steady herself, and then asked, "Yaoyao? Why are you here?"

Yaoyao hates coming to Yuehai Pavilion the most. In her words, Yuehai Pavilion is very dull and full of boring adults. Even the Moon Rabbit will become listless if you stay there for a long time.

But the Moon Rabbit is just a mechanism, how could it be listless? It’s just that Yaoyao doesn’t like the busy atmosphere of Yuehai Pavilion.

Yaoyao didn't mention Dvorak at the first moment, but mentioned her original plan to come to Liyue Harbor: "I have collected all the herbs that Sister Ganyu wanted a few days ago. Here, there is also a bag of sweet flower seeds."

As she spoke, she turned sideways and showed Ganyu the small basket on her back. In addition to the Moon Rabbit and some herbs, there was also an exquisite small package. Presumably, this was the seeds of the sweet flower.

Then, she took out a small jar and put it in her arms: "Also, this bunch of dried Qingxin leaves is for my sister to make tea with. It's good for your health."

This Qingxin leaf is no ordinary thing. She specifically went to find Gulard to make it. After drying it, she asked him to use the protective stone of the Holy Blessing Array to help fry it. It is similar to the Jin Ming of the Yanshang Tea House.

Jinming is precious, but it is tea after all, while Qingxin is a medicine. The leaves of Qingxin are bitter and most people cannot eat it, but Ganyu likes to eat it. Yaoyao gave this to Ganyu, which can be said to be that she really cares about her sister Ganyu.

"Yaoyao knows you've been busy lately, but you shouldn't work too hard. Be careful not to fall asleep in the grass again..." Little Yaoyao kept chattering, admonishing Ganyu, who was over three thousand years old, like an elder.

Little Paimeng couldn't help but complain when watching this scene: "What's going on? These two are simply the sensible younger sister and the confused older sister..."

Ying immediately grabbed Little Paimeng and covered her mouth: "Little Paimeng, stop talking nonsense! Ganyu, leave her alone, she is just like that... she opens her mouth and all sorts of things come out."

“Ahem…” Ganyu felt embarrassed, but for Ying’s sake she didn’t take it to heart. Instead, she listened carefully to the lesson and said, “Thank you, Ying. But Paimon’s criticism is reasonable. I am indeed prone to negligence in areas other than work, and I should improve on that.”

As she was talking, she noticed that there was someone beside Ying, and immediately asked, "You are so busy chatting, I wonder who this gentleman is..."

"Oh! Let me introduce him to you!" Breaking free from Ying's shackles, little Paimon once again volunteered to tell Ganyu about his encounter with Dvorak, the story of his ancestors and the idea of ​​the Sea Lantern Music Festival.

After listening to Paimeng's statement, Ganyu pondered for a moment. Although Paimeng said a lot, it was generally about two things: a music festival and an unknown immortal.

It’s not like the Haideng Music Festival hasn’t made attempts before, for example the party held two years ago was very successful, but… that wasn’t because of the music festival, but because the party, which blended a lot of Liyue culture, allowed audiences of all tastes to see their favorite shows.

This is a reputation built up by many links. If it were just the music... Ganyu was a little pessimistic, she was not sure if everyone would like it.

This unknown immortal...

Ganyu frowned, she was a little hesitant about whether to help. After all, according to Dvorak, the incident happened during the Demon God War or even before, and at that time, she was still young and didn't know much.

Therefore, the help she could provide was very limited, and the only people who could help were probably the older ones and Saphir.

But Saphir's behavior was a bit strange. He went straight to Mondstadt. This made Ganyu hesitate. In the past, she had always asked Ying to pick up Klee. Did she change her mind this year? Or was there something fishy going on?

Ganyu thought about it and decided that she had to go find Master Xianyun about this.

While Ganyu was thinking, little Paimeng was a little panicked: "What's wrong? Did I speak too fast? Things are a bit complicated... If Ganyu didn't understand anything, I can explain it in detail again!"

Gan Yu shook her head and said bluntly: "It's a bit difficult."

"Huh?" Xiao Pai was confused, feeling that the good situation suddenly became serious.

Ganyu went on to explain: "As the highlight of each year, the Lantern Festival must not only be wonderful, but also try to satisfy the Liyue people with different tastes.

The Rainbow Tour is not well-known in Liyue, so it is hard to predict how people will respond. If we put all our focus on this festival, there will be a big risk. "

"Well, you're right, I understand..." Dvorak sighed. He had already prepared for failure, or rather, he had already gotten used to the taste of failure.

But Ganyu immediately changed the subject and continued, "Therefore, the original plan will proceed as usual... But in the new proposal, I would like to apply for the Rainbow Tour Special Performance as the finale of this year's Lantern Festival.

On the night of the Lantern Festival, we will have a concert to add to the festive atmosphere. The stage location is… well, the same as the year before, at the harbor.”

Ying's eyes lit up: "So this is how you solved it? That's amazing! It's not distracting from the main point, but the icing on the cake, right?"

"Yeah, that's what I thought." Ganyu nodded slightly. Her idea was very simple. Ying seemed determined to hold this music festival. If she could stop the other party, she would go to Saphir...

With Safir's reckless personality, if he makes the decision directly, the original plan of the Lantern Festival will be completely messed up, and it will become a joke. It is impossible to expect the emperor to stop Safir.

In their eyes, the Sea Lantern Festival is indeed important, but what is important is not what programs are held during the festival, but the festival itself.

It doesn’t matter to them what kind of jokes they make during the Lantern Festival, as long as they can celebrate the festival in a lively manner, that’s enough.

But Qixing would not think so. They believed that the Emperor attached great importance to the Sea Lantern Festival, so he would try his best to complete every link and step and would not make any mistakes. This is a problem that leaders and subordinates can never communicate about.

Even if the leader knows that this matter objectively exists, he will not be stupid enough to explain it clearly. After all, it is best if the subordinates are willing to do these things to perfection. There is no need to tell them that this is not important, so that the subordinates will not pay attention to this matter in the future. That would be counterproductive.

Ganyu understands this and is willing to help Qixing improve their plans and ideas. This is Ganyu's responsibility.

"Now, I just need a little time to perfect this proposal as soon as possible..." Ganyu has already started thinking about how to persuade Qixing to agree to this plan. "As long as we analyze the key points and explain the pros and cons... plus the most important thing, Ying and Ping's approval, Qixing will definitely take a serious look at this case."

Yes, the most important thing is the recognition of Ying (Saphir behind the scenes) and Aping.

Ganyu spoke frankly: "Mr. Dvorak, I need your help regarding the number of musicians who can come to Liyue Harbor and their specific accommodation requirements..."

"Okay! Let's talk about it side by side." Dvorak was very happy. He didn't expect that the problem could be solved so easily.

He couldn't help but think of what Xin Yan had told him before, to handle the relationship with Ying well and to hold a music festival in any country he wanted in the future.

He seemed to understand the meaning of this sentence a little, but he was still a little confused. Where did Ying get such a great face?

Full of confusion, Dvorak went to discuss this matter with Ganyu. This matter was very important. Otherwise, if they couldn't even make basic arrangements for the performers' food and accommodation, then the performance would be a joke.

As for the performers invited by Xin Yan, the General Affairs Department does not need to be responsible for their food and lodging, because those people can all enter Chen Ge Hu, no matter how far away they are, Ying will be responsible for the pick-up and drop-off.

After all, as one of the organizers, Ying must be responsible for the daily life of some performers, although these projects are all taken care of by Chen Gehu.

Looking at the two people talking seriously not far away, Paimon sighed: "Ganyu is still as reassuring as ever when she's working."

"Yeah, I think so too!" Yaoyao agreed with it and smiled happily. Although she didn't like the atmosphere of Yuehai Pavilion, she liked the way Sister Ganyu worked seriously the most.
