Genshin Impact: Ningguang is still a pitiful little thing, I invested in her.

Currently, I can only guarantee my own safety, but I cannot kill these scammers.

After weighing the pros and cons, Ke Qing decided to temporarily avoid confrontation.

There's no way around it; risking your life for a treasure chest is simply not worth it!

"Big brother, let's hurry up and go,"

"These monsters are too dangerous, let's not take this treasure chest."

As Ke Qing spoke, she pulled Fang Xun back.

However, Fang Xun stood still and did not move.

A magnificent treasure chest is right in front of you; there's no reason not to take it.

Moreover, it's only four flower-scamming guards; it's not difficult.

Fang Xun turned to look at Qi Qi beside him and said softly, "Qi Qi, you protect Ling Hua and Ke Qing's safety."

"As for these four swindlers, leave them to me."

As he spoke, Fang Xun began to move.

He first used Maple Leaf's elemental combat technique 'Chihaya Flutter' to gather the four Phantom Flowers together.

Then he used Venti's elemental burst 'Anemo Poem'.

Although Fang Xun had no bow and arrows, he could sense the wind element in the world, and it was gathering together.

A storm could be seen appearing on Fang Xun's palm.

The storm continued to spread, attracting the four Deceptive Flowers, which bounced in the air.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fang Xun summoned his weapon 'Dream Together' again.

When Fang Xun gripped the katana with one hand, his entire aura underwent a complete transformation.

At this moment, 'Dream Together' and the God-Slaying Katana Style merged together.

He is the swordsman who stands at the pinnacle of the Teyvat continent.

Fang Xun swiftly swung his knife and dispatched the four Flame Deception Flowers in the blink of an eye.

For a moment, both Keqing and Ayaka Kamisato were speechless with surprise.

They had all practiced swordsmanship since childhood, so they naturally had unique perspectives on swordsmanship.

The sword strikes Fang Xun just made may have seemed casual, but they could never have been done without decades of training!

...

It was released just before midnight, everyone get some rest.

Translate Chapter 124 for me: What does "surprise" mean?

"Brother Fang Xun, can you guide me in the cultivation of swordsmanship?"

Coming to her senses, Ayaka looked up at Fang Xun and then made her request.

At the Kamisato family home, the little girl often practices swordsmanship with her older brother, Kamisato Ayato.

She suffered a lot of bullying and teasing from her brother because of this.

The little turtle secretly wrote down all these grudges in a notebook, thinking that he would definitely find a chance to beat his brother in the future.

Now that they have witnessed Fang Xun's superb swordsmanship,

Ayaka realized that her chance to surpass her brother had come.

If Brother Fang Xun were willing to guide her, her swordsmanship would surely improve by leaps and bounds, right?

It's not impossible for me to beat my brother then.

Thinking this, Ayaka looked at Fang Xun with her big, watery eyes full of pleading.

No one could resist the adorable appearance of Ayaka Kamisato.

Ke Qing's heart stirred, and she immediately stepped forward to Fang Xun and said, "Big brother, can you guide me in practicing swordsmanship? I...I want to become stronger."

In Keqing's view, the future of Liyue will be an era of rule by men.

She needs to do everything she can to improve her abilities.

Fang Xun's swordsmanship impressed Ke Qing.

She saw the future of Liyue.

If one could possess such swordsmanship, then even with the strength of an ordinary person, protecting Liyue would no longer be a pipe dream.

In a way, Fang Xun's current situation is Ke Qing's best plan for the future.

Looking at the two adorable little girls in front of him, Fang Xun couldn't bear to refuse their request.

He nodded, chuckled, and said, "Alright, I'll teach you how to use a one-handed sword tomorrow during the day."

Upon hearing this answer, Xiao Linghua hugged Fang Xun's arm and danced with joy.

Her long, white ponytail bounced up and down, looking quite cheerful.

"Thank you, Brother Fang Xun! Brother Fang Xun is the best!"

Hearing that Fang Xun was willing to provide guidance, Ke Qing was also very happy.

"Big brother, my name is Keqing, and my dream is to become one of the future Liyue Stars and change the landscape of Liyue."

"From now on, please guide me!"

"I wasn't very excited; I usually speak in this tone."

"My heart... is perfectly calm!"

Seeing Ke Qing's arrogant expression, Fang Xun couldn't help but laugh.

He thought Keqing only became tsundere after becoming one of the Liyue Seven Stars.

So Keqing has always been this hypocritical since she was little.

It's so cute.

Pulling himself back to reality, Fang Xun looked at Qi Qi.

He planned to have Qiqi spend more time teaching Keqing swordsmanship.

This wasn't Fang Xun randomly finding someone to share the burden or slack off.

Instead, there is a clear explanation in the game.

Qi Qi uses a one-handed sword, and her swordsmanship is called the Cloud Comes Ancient Sword Technique.

Keqing uses a sword technique called the Cloud-Coming Sword Technique.

Is it really a coincidence that their sword techniques differ by only one character?

Or are the two from the same lineage?

So Fang Xun sometimes thinks,

To some extent, are Qiqi and Keqing related?

From now on, we'll each call each other by our own names. I'll call you Sister Keqing, and you'll call me Ancestor.

Forget it, the relationships are too complicated, and Fang Xun doesn't want to think about them anymore.

In short, ask Qiqi to take good care of Keqing.

As for Fang Xun, he will also focus his efforts on Ke Qing's cultivation.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Xun focused his attention on the unlocked, magnificent treasure chest.

What might be inside this treasure chest?

Fang Xun prepared to accompany Ke Qing to open the treasure chest.

Just as he was about to reach out, his hand froze in mid-air.

He noticed that the treasure compass in his backpack had lit up.

And a notification sound appeared in Fang Xun's ear.

"Two hidden, magnificent treasure chests have been detected within ten meters!"

Fang Xun's heart skipped a beat, and he was somewhat surprised.

Is there a hidden, magnificent treasure chest?

And there are two of them?

Happiness came too suddenly.

Fang Xun immediately used the treasure-hunting compass to locate the two treasure chests.

The compass needle turned, pointing Fangxun in a direction.

Fang Xun followed the compass needle and spotted a small rockery not far away, its surface occasionally shimmering with light.

Fang Xun swung his katana, destroying the pile of stones.

Then, with a thud, a magnificent treasure chest appeared in front of him.

Both Ayaka and Keqing were stunned.

Clearly, they hadn't expected there to be a treasure chest hidden in this place.

Brother Fang Xun has a good eye!

Before the two little girls could even exclaim in surprise, Fang Xun activated the power of the Treasure Compass once more.

The compass needle spun again, this time pointing to a vast, desolate land.

Fang Xun walked in the direction the compass indicated and noticed that the soil under his feet seemed to have a raised patch.

Something is buried down there!

Fang Xun immediately started digging and, sure enough, found a treasure chest underground.

Keqing and Linghua exchanged a glance, speechless with surprise.
