Honkai Impact 3rd, but I have too many mods.

Gan Yu nodded in agreement.

The pace of life for such immortal beings is outrageously slow; to live in the human world, one must maintain a youthful mindset.

"And...it would be best if we got to know each other?"

Gan Yu felt that she had a slight social anxiety, and the thought of going on a blind date with a stranger made her want to back out.

"If I had to choose... it would definitely be someone I know."

As Xianyun nodded, Liu Bai's image flashed through her mind unconsciously.

Bah, bah, bah, these conditions aren't really relevant to Liu Bai right now, so why even think about Liu Bai?

"And then... given the choice, try to be as handsome as possible?"

Xianyun mentioned it again without thinking.

Gan Yu, unaware of anything amiss, nodded in agreement.

If you have a choice, of course you'd choose the handsome one.

—Although Gan Yu would prefer that there was no choice at all in this matter.

Gan Yuping didn't want to start talking about marriage right now, but since her adoptive mother Xianyun brought it up, she couldn't just directly refuse.

"...So, are there any suitable candidates at present?"

Longevity, youthful mindset, mutual acquaintance, and good looks.

These four requirements immediately filtered out the vast majority of people.

They knew almost all the long-lived species in Liyue; it was always the same few people coming and going.

The other True Lords... come on, let's not even talk about whether they're handsome or not, their mentality is just not young.

Not to mention that these people are all elders to Gan Yu.

As for Xianyun... if he really likes someone, should he wait until now?

Not to mention those True Lords, even if you went to them, they might not be willing to do so.

The master and disciple immediately eliminated the other True Lords.

—Alright, now the largest portion of the long-lived species within Liyue have been eliminated.

And then……

Uh... Xiao or Zhongli?

No... Putting aside their identities, their intentions... don't seem like those of people who would actually want to have such intentions.

The master and apprentice exchanged a glance and realized that no one else seemed to be there.

Aren't their conditions a bit ridiculous?

(…That's good, this should put an end to this matter. Gan Yu breathed a sigh of relief.)

(...If that's the case, Gan Yu shouldn't keep pressuring me to get married, right?)

Xianyun was secretly relieved.

"...Senior Brother Liu Bai?"

While watching TV and listening to the two people's conversation, Shen He, who was eating edamame, suddenly blurted out a name.

Xianyun Ganyu: "..."

Their sense of relief was instantly shattered.

(It's over!) ×2

Shen He, why did you remind Zhenjun/Gan Yu about this?

Gan Yu and Xian Yun were both taken aback by Shen He's sudden four words.

Upon closer examination, Liu Bai perfectly fits the requirements.

Young, acquainted, and handsome.

There is absolutely no problem with these three points.

Willingness...tsk, although it's a bit hard to judge in this regard, if Liu Bai were to be considered as a blind date, he might not really mind.

As for immortal beings... let's not even talk about the fact that the other party is most likely an immortal being. Even if he isn't, if the Heart of God is activated and deactivated by lightning, wouldn't Liu Bai also be one?

Things are getting complicated...

If we consider this from the perspective of marriage, we might be able to postpone it a few times.

But blind dates... these are things you can only try if you're willing to take a chance.

Liu Bai is clearly a "jujube tree" (meaning a tree that bears fruit), so it's never a bad idea to try hitting it a couple of times.

(...Denying this would be an insult to Gan Yu/Zhen Jun's intelligence, wouldn't it?)

The mother and daughter had the same idea again.

“...Yes, that’s true.” Xianyun nodded.

"Mr. Liu Bai is indeed one of the candidates..."

Gan Yu's tone carried a hint of helplessness.

...Perhaps it's just my imagination? Gan Yu inexplicably felt that Xian Yun seemed to be somewhat expectant?

—Could it be that Junior Sister was taught to say these words by the True Lord first?

Gan Yu sensed that things were going a little wrong.

...Although the object of affection is Liu Bai, it doesn't seem to be all that bad.

"Then... how about trying to ask Liu Bai out tomorrow?"

Xianyun tentatively suggested.

"Okay." Gan Eryu thought for a moment, feeling that it was better to get a result as soon as possible.

Hesitation will only lead to harm.

I'll have to take leave from work.

...It shouldn't scare Ningguang and the others, right?

Gan Yu was very troubled, and then glanced at her junior sister Shen He, who was still silently eating edamame.

"Master, Shen He, she..."

Thinking about it carefully, Shen He is probably the one who needs to go on blind dates the most!

If you do nothing now while you're at the perfect age for marriage, you might miss your "expiration date" in the blink of an eye.

Gan Yu figured that since she was already stuck in a quagmire, she might as well drag someone else in too.

The more people involved, the greater the chance that this matter will fall through.

"Shen He?" Xianyun understood why Gan Yu mentioned Shen He at this time.

But... wouldn't it be a bad influence if the master and apprentice went on a blind date together?

...Yes, if it has a bad impact, maybe I can manipulate things to make it fall through?

Thinking of this, Xianyun adopted a coaxing expression.

"Shen He, do you want to come along tomorrow?"

"I'm sorry, Master, I don't have time."

Ah, a refusal without hesitation.

Although the wording was fine, Xianyun still felt a chill from Xiao Mian'ao.

“That’s true, you also have a job delivering food.” Xianyun hesitated for a moment, then decided not to force Shenhe.

Gan Yu, who was standing next to Shen He, was also somewhat disappointed when she heard Shen He's decisive refusal.

Shen He doesn't need their high standards for blind dates at all, plus Shen He's personality... Although it's not good for her, as his senior, to think this way, Shen He's personality is still quite frightening to ordinary people.

That's enough to scare away those who come for Shin Hak's good looks.

Tomorrow, all I have to do is wait for Shen He's blind date to fail, and then I can use comforting Shen He as an excuse to leave—as for whether Shen He needs comforting or not.

Gan Yu didn't care.

Shen He continued eating edamame, appearing to acquiesce.

—Actually, she's not delivering food tomorrow.

Tomorrow she will continue her "Liu Bai observation work".

"Then I'll go and make an appointment with Lord Liu Bai." Xianyun pushed up his glasses, his feigned tone calm and flawless.

She certainly didn't want Liu Bai to know that she was forced to go on this blind date by her apprentice.

Gan Yu had no objections—it was perfectly normal for her adoptive mother to arrange blind dates.

A chat that went remarkably smoothly, despite the two parties being completely on different wavelengths, has come to a complete end.

…………

"Mr. Liu Bai, you have a phone call."

Rita, who was cleaning the room, took Liu Bai's bracelet into the bathroom.

"A phone call at this hour... is it from my older sister or those two rascals, Danzhu and Cangxuan?"

Liu Bai took the bracelet through the crack in the door as if it were a common occurrence.

"Hey, don't peek!"

"How could you think of a lady like that?"

Rita's hazy figure reappeared on the sliding door.

"The last person who called herself a lady was already carrying a heavy machine gun into battle."

“They can carry a car into battle,” Rita’s leisurely chuckle came from outside.

"..."

Okay, okay, so they're all lady cranes, aren't they?

What happened to this world.

After sighing, Liu Bai slowly began to check the order details.

"Hmm? Xianyun's?"

Liu Bai paused for a moment when he saw the name of the caller, and barely managed to press the answer button before the incoming call music ended.

"Excuse me, Liu Bai... uh, is this phone call a bit presumptuous?"

This is a video call.

Although he wouldn't actually take Liu Bai's entire bathtub into the water, Xianyun immediately knew what kind of environment Liu Bai was in by looking at the surrounding steam and Liu Bai's collarbone.

That collarbone...

A delicate collarbone under a water mist is an illegal act.

Xianyun's glasses reflected a white light, and his gaze unconsciously drifted towards Liu Bai's collarbone.

As a true lord who loves beauty, Xianyun... couldn't really refuse this pose.

[Xianyun's Favorability: 3840]

"...?"

Liu Bai's intuition told him that this increase in favorability might not be very legitimate.

"It is a bit presumptuous of me, but please wait a moment if you don't mind."

Liu Bai felt that he needed to put on some clothes.

Damn it, why am I the one being taken advantage of?

...Next time I have the chance, I'll molest Xiao Guizi.

Brothers who don't have much of a knack for groping don't feel much moral burden.
