Gu Chang Ge fully agreed with Ying's approach.
She had indeed followed his advice to ask for compensation, ensuring she wasn't working for free.
Moreover,
she was very clever, not directly asking for it. If she had, both Jean and Lisa would have agreed out of their desire to save Tvalin.
However, doing so would undoubtedly have changed their perception of Ying.
But by inquiring about her remuneration, it was reasonable and justifiable.
After all,
as a member of the Knights of Favonius, one shouldn't work without compensation, right?
Lisa: "......"
Compensation?
Honorary Knight was just a title, where did the compensation come from?
Ying's question stumped her.
Meanwhile,
Amber, who had remained silent and observed from the sidelines, looked strange, her little face flushed crimson, her hand covering her mouth as if to stifle laughter.
This was the first time she had seen Miss Lisa so flustered!
However,
Amber still agreed with Ying's words.
Ying wasn't from Mondstadt, so she didn't know that Honorary Knight was just a title without any salary. It was perfectly understandable to ask.
After all,
Ying was genuinely broke!
Seeing Lisa's silence, Ying blinked in confusion, "Miss Lisa, why aren't you saying anything?"
"Did I say something wrong?"
Lisa twitched her eye. Was this little cutie genuinely unaware or pretending to be?
Seeing that her good friend was at a loss for words, Jean made a decision and said, "Regarding the remuneration of both Honorary Knights, I forgot to mention it earlier."
"Honorary Knights, like Amber, the reconnaissance knight, receive a fixed allowance, ten thousand Mora each month."
As these words left her lips, Jean felt a pang of regret.
Ten thousand Mora per month, meaning twenty thousand would be spent on the two of them.
Moreover,
Honorary Knight was just a title, this money wouldn't be paid by the Knights of Favonius.
In other words, she would have to pay out of her own pocket, using her own money.
Even though she was a little rich, she felt a twinge of pain.
After all, this wasn't just for a month or two, but an ongoing expense.
Gu Chang Ge was taken aback, looking at Jean, who appeared calm on the surface, with surprise in his heart.
Based on Lisa's attitude, Honorary Knights clearly had no benefits, let alone a salary.
But Jean said that they received a ten thousand Mora allowance every month.
This meant that Jean was most likely paying out of her own pocket.
Yet,
due to a single sentence, she had an extra twenty thousand Mora in monthly expenses, and Jean didn't react at all.
Truly a little rich woman!
Ten thousand Mora?
And that much every month?!
Paimon's small eyes sparkled with excitement, almost reaching for her fingers to count.
That was too much!
Hee-hee, suddenly become a little rich person!
Ying was also excited, with this money, her pressure would be much less!
Thinking of this,
Ying couldn't help but smile, "Jean, please give the order, I'm ready!"
Jean twitched the corner of her mouth.
It seemed this seemingly quiet and gentle traveler was also a little money-grubber!
However,
twenty thousand Mora every month in exchange for the help of two powerful individuals with special abilities, it was a great deal no matter how you looked at it.
"Ying, according to Kaeya's investigation, many monsters have appeared outside Mondstadt and in the temples of the four-wind guardians, even Abyss Mages.
"The Knights of Favonius are short-staffed, so I'd like to ask you to help clean up the monsters in the temples of the four-wind guardians, do you think that's possible?"
When someone asks for your help, you help them.
Since there was Mora, Ying naturally wouldn't refuse, immediately nodding, "Of course, but I don't know where the four-wind guardians are located, so Jean, you need to send someone with me."
Lisa smiled slightly, "Of course, I have nothing to do right now, so why don't I accompany the little cutie?"
"Hmm hmm, with Miss Lisa here, I think those monsters won't be our opponents!" Ying said with a smile.
Just then, Paimon flew to Jean's side, giggling, "Hee hee... can Traveler advance a little bit of this month's allowance?"
Saying that,
Paimon extended a finger, gesturing slightly, "Just a little bit."
Jean chuckled helplessly, "Ying, you and Lisa go to the temple of the four-wind guardians first, when you come back, your allowance for this month will be approved."
"Hee hee, Traveler, Miss Lisa, Chang Ge, let's go!"
Ying helplessly covered her face. This little Paimon, so embarrassing!
She had already promised, why was she so impatient?
Ying shook her head helplessly, walked to Gu Chang Ge's side, and whispered, "Chang Ge, this time Lisa is going with me, it should be fine, why don't you stay behind and take care of Lia?"
Gu Chang Ge was stunned, looking at Ying hesitantly, "Ying, are you sure?"
The latter nodded, "Don't worry, even though I can't defeat Tvalin like you, dealing with a few monsters is still no problem, don't underestimate me."
Lisa looked at the two thoughtfully and smiled, "Don't worry, little cutie, I'll protect her."
"Okay then, be careful."
"Hmm hmm, I will, we'll go first then, bye!"
...
Soon,
Ying, with Paimon, followed Lisa out of the Knights of Favonius headquarters, and Amber also bid them farewell as she had to go scout outside the city.
In the blink of an eye,
only Gu Chang Ge and Jean remained in the room.
Jean looked at Gu Chang Ge in the room, thinking about how Lisa had used her to tempt him earlier, she couldn't help but feel a little shy, her gaze becoming shifty.
Gu Chang Ge raised an eyebrow, but didn't pay attention to it, instead focusing on the fatigue hidden in Jean's eyes.
Gu Chang Ge sighed softly.
This girl, a few years older than him, probably hadn't had a good rest in a long time.
Thinking about it,
Gu Chang Ge's mind flashed with an idea, secretly using his charm skill on Jean.
The unsuspecting Jean was instantly under his spell, staring blankly at Gu Chang Ge without any reaction.
Gu Chang Ge smiled slightly, just as he was about to order her to rest, Jean suddenly moved.
"Hmm?"
"What's going on?"
"Didn't Jean already fall for the spell?"
With a hint of confusion, Gu Chang Ge didn't give Jean any orders to rest, instead standing silently and watching her.
However,
what surprised Gu Chang Ge was that
Jean actually walked right up to him, leaning directly against his chest, her fair cheek rubbing against Gu Chang Ge's chest, her small hands also becoming very untoward.
Gu Chang Ge: !!!
What the heck?!
This charm skill is not right!
Gu Chang Ge was flustered and quickly controlled Jean's hands, saying in a deep voice, "Jean, you're very tired, go to rest."
As soon as the words left his mouth,
Jean indeed stopped moving, leaning against his chest and falling asleep.
