Who says you can't be lazy?

In terms of time spent cultivating Adeptal Arts, Ganyu has thousands of years more than Bai Ye.

Her experience is far richer than Bai Ye's.

Ganyu thought about giving Bai Ye some guidance.

"Mhm, mhm."

Bai Ye was naturally very willing to have someone guide him.

Without using the Art of Automata, Bai Ye demonstrated his Adeptal Arts to Ganyu.

He took out a few talismans from his pocket.

"Hiss!"

The talismans floated in the air above, surrounding Bai Ye. Then they flew outwards, stopping at a distance of ten zhang.

A light representing wind flashed, creating a gale around Bai Ye and Ganyu.

The winds around them swirled, blowing so hard that Ganyu couldn't open her eyes.

Ganyu reached out and took out her own Adeptal talismans. A chilling aura surged out, trying to block the gale.

However, The ice was blown away by the gale, and ice shards actually scraped towards Ganyu.

Ganyu's expression changed.

She pointed at the talismans again, and an even more piercing cold appeared.

This time, Bai Ye's gale could no longer affect Ganyu's ice.

Even all four talismans he had released were frozen and fell to the ground.

Looking at Bai Ye, Ganyu said with lingering fear, "Bai Ye, your Adeptal Arts are truly astonishing. It seems your aptitude for Adeptal Arts is just as outstanding as your skill in the Art of Automata."

Ganyu realized she had nothing good to teach Bai Ye.

His skills were definitely not weaker than hers; her previous breakthrough was purely due to brute force.

When others' techniques are not inferior to yours, using brute force to bully them is fine in combat, but it's a bit embarrassing when educating a junior disciple.

As expected, the Master's final disciple is a little genius.

Hearing Ganyu say this, Bai Ye felt a little embarrassed. His aptitude for Adeptal Arts was indeed average. The problem was that Zhongli had educated him at Wangshu Inn before.

And he had directly pointed out his problems.

This was equivalent to a Nobel laureate explaining a graduate student's thesis and even publicly posting the answers.

If he still couldn't do it well, then Bai Ye would be too stupid.

Ganyu felt she should say a little more, and then she said to Bai Ye, "Your current Adeptal Arts skills don't need much more enhancement. Focus on cultivating quality. Once the quality improves, your strength will naturally increase."

It was roughly like a homeroom teacher's helpless advice to a good student.

"You need to do more practice problems to solidify your understanding."

"I understand,"

Bai Ye nodded gently.

However, he still asked with some curiosity, "By the way, Sister Ganyu, are there any rare heavenly treasures in cultivation that, after I use them, can instantly boost my strength by a large margin?"

"I've never heard of such heavenly treasures," Ganyu shook her head.

"There's only one way to quickly increase your strength."

Bai Ye had originally just wanted to tease, but hearing Ganyu say she knew of a shortcut, Bai Ye immediately asked, "What way?"

"Combat. Through continuous combat, that's how you can rapidly strengthen yourself."

Ganyu told Bai Ye.

Combat? I've experienced plenty of combat, so why doesn't my strength feel like it's increasing?

Hearing Ganyu's words, Bai Ye was a bit confused.

But then he thought about it, and it was normal.

When dealing with Treasure Hoarders, most of them couldn't last more than three moves before being bundled up and tied.

Including that remnant of an Archon, it was only troublesome to strip away the Seven Senses; its actual combat power wasn't strong.

The only enemy who could truly exchange blows with him was that Fatui Harbinger, Tartaglia.

But when facing Tartaglia, the combat method he adopted was as shameless as it could get.

"Um, Bai Ye, although this method is quick, I still don't recommend it. Fighting on the brink of death will increase your strength, but it's truly too dangerous."

Ganyu said to Bai Ye earnestly.

She had been protected by her Master during the Archon War.

Now it was her turn to face her Junior Disciple Brother, so she had to take good care of him.

A cute, sweet Junior Disciple Brother shouldn't take risks.

"I'm not going to do that kind of adventurous stuff for no reason."

Bai Ye wouldn't do dangerous things.

After all, he wasn't alone anymore.

He also carried the burden of his Master.

"Mhm, this is good."

Ganyu was very satisfied.

She pointed forward.

"Let's continue. There are many places ahead that we need to cover, and we still have to patrol on time."

"Mhm."

Bai Ye's face showed a hint of bitterness.

Hearing Ganyu say they still had to patrol, Bai Ye couldn't help but feel it was difficult.

After all, when acting with Ganyu, there was always a possibility of encountering incidents that needed to be dealt with.

"If we go through all this, won't it be evening by the time we're done?"

Bai Ye asked Ganyu.

"Mhm, roughly..." Ganyu thought for a moment, "I calculated, if nothing unexpected happens, we should be finished around nine in the evening. At that time, Bai Ye, you can go rest, and I'll go to Yuehai Pavilion to handle work."

"Still have work to do!?"

Bai Ye swallowed.

"Mhm, that's right, I haven't finished my tasks yet," Ganyu nodded seriously. "However, after the Rite of Descension, I can relax a bit."

"This is too miserable."

Bai Ye couldn't help but say to Ganyu.

Busy until late every day, never resting.

Ganyu smiled and nodded: "Mhm, it is a bit tiring. So, Bai Ye, would you consider coming to Yuehai Pavilion to help me with my work?"

"Forget it, forget it. I'd rather search for wild Treasure Hoarders every day than do this kind of work."

Bai Ye quickly shook his head.

He could accept heavy work, but he couldn't accept monotonous tasks.

Only continuous development and an unknown future were what Bai Ye desired.

Of course, the money couldn't be less.

So, Bai Ye said to Ganyu:

"I'm not someone who likes to work diligently. When I do things, I always think about how to be lazy."

Ganyu let out a 'pfft,' then quickly covered her mouth.

What Bai Ye said wasn't that funny, but coming from him, his tendency to slack off naturally carried a cute charm that made Ganyu very happy.

However, she still seriously told Bai Ye:

"Bai Ye, some things can only be done diligently. Look at these streets; to prevent anyone from secretly sabotaging the Rite of Descension, we have to keep searching."

Bai Ye began to ponder.

Suddenly, he glanced at Liyue's intricately carved buildings, and a flash of inspiration struck him.

"Who says you can't be lazy?"

He looked at the streets that needed patrolling.

He had an idea.

Installing cameras or something like that

would be much better than patrolling all day.

If someone were to do something bad in secret, they might think no one was watching, but in reality, the cameras would have captured everything clearly.
