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

Throughout the entire city of Mondstadt, no one would treat the Lawrence family kindly.

Schubert firmly believes that Yura is not in a good situation.

As for Yura's safety...

Although Yura often went against her family's wishes, Schubert had to admit that Yura was exceptionally capable.

She could lift a greatsword taller than herself and had obtained the 'Ice Seal'. Ordinary people couldn't do anything to her, so Schubert wasn't worried about Yura's safety.

The old man wasn't interested in Schubert's remarks. Without even raising his eyelids, he said, "I want to see Yura back in the family before the Wind Flower Festival. Is that a problem?"

“Of course, no problem, Patriarch.” Schubert nodded repeatedly, his tone full of respect.

The old man in front of me is the patriarch of the Lawrence family. He has absolute authority in the family, and no one dares to disobey him.

In Schubert's view, there was no need to wait until before the Flower Festival.

One day, at most one day.

Schubert guessed that Yura would succumb to the pressure tomorrow and return to the Lawrence family looking dejected.

At that time, the Lawrence family will launch a revenge campaign against the entire Mondstadt.

...

As for Fang Xun's side,

He took the little ones back to the hotel, but Wendy was nowhere to be seen.

Logically, Wendy should have returned from the tavern by now.

Wasn't he always looking forward to going to the Dawn Winery for a drink?

Wendy certainly wouldn't miss such a great opportunity.

That's really strange...

Just as Fang was pondering this, a resident of Mondstadt came to the inn and gently knocked on the door.

"Excuse me, which one of you is Mr. Fang Xun?"

“A bard named Wendy drank a lot of wine at our tavern, but he didn’t have any money to pay the bill,”

He said Mr. Fang Xun could help pay the bills. Is that true?

After the words were spoken, Fang Xun finally understood.

He said that Wendy couldn't possibly have missed Dawn Winery; it turned out she was being held at the tavern.

"How much did Wendy spend at your tavern in total?"

"The total is 100,000 Mora, sir."

The people at the tavern were quite polite; after all, someone was willing to pay the bill, which was good for both parties.

Fang Xun didn't expect Wendy to drink 100,000 molars in one go; it seems he deliberately chooses expensive drinks.

"I remember he went to a bar that was having a promotion, saying the drinks were free?"

At this moment, Fang Xun remembered the tavern event during the Wind and Flower Festival.

"If the drinks were free, why is there a bill for 100,000 Mora?"

The bartender, when questioned, shrugged: "We did have a free drinks promotion, but there was a line at the end: 'Second only to the Knights of Favonius.'"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Xun could imagine that Wendy hadn't read the details of the tavern's event clearly, but had only seen the words "free drinks" before pushing open the tavern door without hesitation.

Then, with a grand gesture, he ordered a variety of fine wines.

When they finished their drinks and were about to leave the tavern, they were stunned when they saw the full details of the event...

Fang Xun sighed helplessly. This was so Wendy.

He waved to the bartender to lead the way to pay the ransom.

...

Chapter Three is here. Today's task is complete.

Finally, everyone, get some rest early. Goodnight.

Chapter 354 Wendy: People's joys and sorrows are not shared; I only find their noise bothersome.

"Is it safe to drink? You raise fish, right?"

"Don't pretend to be drunk, you still have three glasses of wine left to drink!"

Mondstadt, the tavern 'Angel's Gift'.

Because the drinks were free for the Knights of Favonius, the tavern was exceptionally lively today, filled with laughter and cheerful conversation.

However, Wendy, who was squatting sullenly in the corner, seemed somewhat out of place at this moment.

People's joys and sorrows are not shared; he only found these people noisy.

At first, Wendy, like the knights, happily drank her wine, wishing she could take the leftovers home.

However, when Wendy was about to leave, he was told that the 'free drinks' only applied to the Knights of Favonius, and he would have to pay the full price.

As a professional bard, Wendy naturally didn't have a single mora in her pocket.

With no other option, Wendy could only sit in the tavern and wait for Fang Xun to come and pay the bill.

"Seriously, if it's free drinks, then it's free drinks, but why is it limited to the Knights of Favonius?"

Wendy crossed her arms and muttered to herself.

Of course, many young knights who had just joined the Knights of Favonius were just as confused as Wendy.

Why would the tavern offer the Knights of Favonius drinks for free?

This is a question that many people are curious about.

His companion replied, "It's because Lord Cripps has great respect for the Knights of Favonius. It's said that whenever someone from the Knights of Favonius comes here, he will offer them a free drink."

A person nearby chimed in, "I heard that Lord Cripps has always wanted to join the Knights of Favonius, but he's failed every year. Hopefully, he'll succeed this year..."

As the group discussed the matter, the tavern door was slowly pushed open, and a middle-aged man walked in.

The once noisy tavern fell silent for a moment, and then bursts of exclamations erupted.

Because the man was the subject of everyone's recent discussion, Kripps.

He is the owner of Château de Dawn, Diluc's father, and Kaia's godfather.

Like Diluc, Cripps has red hair, and his well-trimmed beard makes this middle-aged man look mature and composed.

In fact, this was also the nature of Kripps' personality.

With his steady and pragmatic approach, Kripps had already taken control of Mondstadt's economic lifeline by middle age, making him the undisputed richest man in Mondstadt.

Wherever he goes, Kripps becomes the center of attention.

"Good evening, Mr. Kripps!"

"Have you eaten, Mr. Kripps...?"

The knights stood up and greeted Kripps.

After all, I drank their wine for free, so it would be impolite not to say something.

Kripps greeted everyone and gestured for them to drink their fill.

Immediately afterwards, Kripps noticed Wendy, who was huddled in the corner and looked very helpless.

What happened to that child?

Why were you detained in the tavern?

The bartender followed Kripps's gaze: "Sir, you mean Wendy?"

"He ordered more than thirty bottles of wine at our tavern, spending a total of 100,000 moras."

"When it came time to pay, he didn't have a single penny in his pocket."

"At first, Wendy said he would pay off his debts with performances, but we estimated that his performances wouldn't even raise 100,000 molars a month,"

"Later, he said he'd have a friend pay the bill, but I don't know if that's reliable..."

"Never mind, he doesn't seem like he can afford the bills. I'll pay them for him."

Kripps glanced at Wendy, then took Mora out of his pocket and handed it to the bartender.

Although the 'Angel's Gift' tavern was run by Cripps, he couldn't break the rules.

Since it was agreed that the Knights of Favonius would be treated to drinks for free, that applies only to the Knights of Favonius; everyone else will have to pay their share.

In fact, Kripps didn't know why he was helping Wendy.

Perhaps it was because Wendy was about the same age as his two children that he had the idea to help.

"Sir, I heard I thanked you because of you..."

Wendy was incredibly touched to hear that Kripps would pay the bill.

However, before Wendy could finish singing, Kripps reminded the bartender, "Remember, you can't sell alcohol to minors anymore."

...

I'm late, sorry!

Because I went back to school today, I spent most of the day traveling or transferring... so I wasted time.

There will be another chapter later; I'll release it as soon as possible.

Chapter 355 Diluc of Mondstadt Arrives as Promised

Wendy:? ? ?

Wendy was not happy with what Kripps said.

How can he be a minor?

Does he look like a minor?
