Chapter 355

Anqi glanced back at Amber, then continued to remotely observe the Fatui chatting below.

Amber placed her hands on Anqi's shoulders and leaned closer, her face full of curiosity. She nuzzled Anqi's golden hair with her cheek and said:

"They're infamous in Mondstadt... oh no, I should say in every country except Winterbreak. Why are you keeping an eye on them? Everyone wants to stay as far away from the Fatui as possible!"

I won't tell you.

"Huh? Why? Tell me, tell me~~"

Amber started acting cute and affectionate without any sense of distance.

Anqi turned her head, revealing serious, deadpan eyes, and said earnestly:

"Can you keep it a secret?"

"Of course! Amber, you know, I'm a master of keeping my mouth shut!"

"Then I can too."

Anqi proudly puffed out her chest.

Amber puffed out her cheeks, shook Anqi's body, and continued to plead relentlessly.

Suddenly, Anqi raised her hand and pressed Amber's body down. She then squatted down as well, avoiding the gazes of the Fatui below.

"Shh~~"

"What happened? What happened? Were we found out?"

"If you hadn't been so noisy, you wouldn't have been discovered."

"Hehe, well, sorry about that."

Amber clasped her hands together in apology, then grinned foolishly with an optimistic attitude.

Anqi smiled in response. Having had an experience like Kiana's, Anqi was very tolerant of beautiful girls who were a bit silly.

Don't you have to work today?

"I'm just doing my job. In addition to checking road conditions and monster activity in the wild, scout riders are also responsible for scouting the city's order and checking the health of buildings from time to time."

"But you're slacking off right now, I'm going to tell Lisa on you!"

"Hey? No, no! I was wrong, Anqi!"

Amber believed it. The main reason was that the name Lisa held considerable intimidation for the veteran members of the Knights. Everyone said that an angry Lisa was more terrifying than anyone else.

She quickly hugged Anqi tightly, rubbing against her and begging for mercy.

Anqi, meanwhile, was fully enjoying Amber's hot and soft body. Her face was blank, but inside she was already grinning like an idiot.

Anqi and Lisa have been studying for several months now.

For ordinary people, accumulating knowledge requires a long period of time.

But for geniuses, this law is quite flexible.

Just as Lisa could become a genius graduate of the Sumeru Genshin Academy in two years, leaving behind the title of "a genius Witch appears once every two hundred years"—of course, for most Sumeru scholars, this title is also the title of the ultimate demon king.

Lisa was fast, but she found that the gold she was cultivating was even faster than herself.

The advanced theoretical knowledge accumulated over two eras in this Original World is absolutely profound, even in Teyvat, which seems to have a history of ten thousand years. This allows Anqi to absorb knowledge at an extremely fast pace, so fast that even the genius Witch often laments in the dead of night—the difference between people is truly greater than the difference between people and dogs.

"That's enough. Your learning has reached a bottleneck. Next, you should choose some topics that interest you and expand your knowledge boundaries and explore your research field on your own."

One day, holding the perfect advanced alchemy results handed to her by Anqi, along with the matching alchemy formulas she had derived herself, Lisa said with a mix of emotion and satisfaction.

Lisa was certainly not jealous; she wasn't the kind of vain person obsessed with power and profit. She was simply happy for Anqi's progress.

"Unfortunately, Albedo is still exploring and investigating in the Dragonspine, and it will be difficult to find him in a short time. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend that you study under him for a while. In the entire Mondstadt City, besides me, he is the only one qualified to guide you."

Lisa felt quite sorry.

However, it's not a big deal. Albedo will appear sooner or later, and it's never too late to follow him on his study tour.

Anqi was filled with awe upon hearing the name. She had always respected knowledge and revered high-level academic talents.

"Albedo, the one known as Mondstadt's greatest alchemist."

"Yes. But don't underestimate your sister Lisa. Albedo specializes in alchemy, while I Lisa, have a wider range of interests. We just have different fields, which doesn't mean he's better than me. Understand?"

In front of her beloved young disciple, Lisa objectively and honestly vindicated herself.

Where does Anqi have any objections?

She immediately Lisa's broad, soft embrace, snuggling against her and saying in a sweet, coquettish voice:

"I know that Sister Lisa is the best. So, can I call Sister Lisa... Master?"

Lisa felt a little strange from this sudden, excessive intimacy. However, upon hearing that word, her body trembled, and she no longer cared about such a trivial matter.

"What did you say?"

"Master."

Say it again.

"Master, master, master~~"

"I heard you, my lovely little disciple!"

"Hehe, Master is the best~~"

It was something that happened naturally.

Lisa guided Anqi without reservation. Although Anqi had a solid foundation, without Lisa's skillful guidance, it was unknown how long it would take for her to reach such a high level in alchemy.

Lisa's dedication is absolutely worthy of her mentor's name.

She could never have imagined what kind of reward these efforts made out of love for talent would bring her in the future.

At this moment, the master and apprentice embraced each other, their faces beaming with joy.

After officially confirming their mentor-student relationship, Lisa was full of energy and immediately dragged Anqi into Qin's office. Lisa slammed her hand on the table and said:

"Come here, my apprentice, get her a Mondstadt alchemist qualification. Go for it at the highest level—salary, lab, equipment, funding, study abroad support, and everything else, give her the full package!"

"Lisa, you know the rules, we..."

"I've always told you that Mondstadt's treatment of its talent is problematic! Even an ordinary alchemist like Timotheus gets such good treatment, so why shouldn't my disciple, who is a million times more talented than him, be treated specially? Yes, she hasn't started any projects yet, but believe me, she will definitely create unimaginable value for Mondstadt!"

"... Alright then."

Qin smiled helplessly and nodded in agreement.
