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

Since waking up, Ying has not been without trying to find her brother.

But in the end, all of them returned empty-handed and gained nothing.

As time went on, Ying realized that finding her brother was a long and arduous process.

"That's true... You and your brother have been separated for who knows how long, and a lot of things must have happened during that time."

Seeing that Ying remained silent, Paimon immediately comforted her, "Don't worry, you will definitely find your brother."

"Fang Xun, am I right?"

Paimon turned to look at Fang Xun next to Ying.

She hoped that Director Fang could say something at this moment to make Ying look less sad.

“Paimon is right.” Fang Xun nodded in agreement.

"Ying, although you can't get information about your brother for the time being,"

"But I believe that your brother is waiting for you somewhere, and you will eventually be reunited."

Fang Xun actually knew how the plot would unfold, but he didn't say it outright.

It might be more meaningful to let Ying find out the truth.

"Yes, yes, that's exactly what I meant!"

Paimon nodded repeatedly, thinking to himself that Fang Xun was indeed the principal; his words were so pleasant to listen to, no wonder so many children liked him.

"Fang Xun and Paimon, thank you."

Ying nodded, her mood not so low anymore.

Just as Fang Xun said, her brother would definitely be waiting for her somewhere.

Seeing that Ying was in a better mood, Paimon started chattering away again.

However, this time, she deliberately avoided the topic of her brother.

Fang Xun was surprised that Paimon was such a chatterbox; he truly lived up to his reputation as a master of conversation.

Although my ears were no longer at ease, the advantage was that the journey wouldn't be so boring, and at least the atmosphere wouldn't get dull.

"Speaking of which, why did Fang Xun want to join the Knights of Favonius?"

At this moment, Paimon looked up and asked Fang Xun.

"I... brought some gifts to see my friends."

As he spoke, Fang Xun waved the gift box in his hand.

He's here today mainly to see the witch Alice, Lisa, and the young harp leader.

Needless to say, Iris specially developed a top-grade firework to show Fang Xun the 'best fireworks in Teyvat'.

As a result, the Wind Dragon Ruins were accidentally blown up into Wind Dragon Ruins, and Alice herself was locked in solitary confinement as a result.

So, it's fair to say that Alice being put in solitary confinement is somewhat related to Fang Xun.

It would be unreasonable not to visit Alice.

Lisa and Jean are currently with the Knights of Favonius, and Fang Xun is thinking of taking down several Entangling Sources at once.

"Does Paimon also receive a gift?"

Upon hearing the word "gift," the flight emergency food's eyes lit up, its face brimming with anticipation.

Fang Xun handed one of the gift boxes to Paimon: "I knew you would ask that. Here, I've prepared some desserts for you."

"Great! Thank you, Fang Xun!"

Paimon was overjoyed, dancing with delight and clutching the dessert to his chest.

"Paimon is happy as long as there is food."

Ying smiled and casually joked.

Actually, Paimon is quite easy to appease. Even if you upset her, a meal is all it takes to make her happy again.

If that doesn't work, then two meals.

"Ying, I've also prepared a gift for you."

As they spoke, Fang Xun handed the bamboo sticks from Narukami Shrine to Ying.

"This is the best fortune I drew for you, which means peace, safety, and family reunion."

"Although we don't know what kind of journey we will face, we are sure that the end of the journey will not disappoint you."

"Thank you."

Ying reached out and took the bamboo skewer, carefully putting it away.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained two Entangled Sources."

Just then, a system notification sounded in Fang Xun's mind.

Looking at the two extra Entangled Sources in his backpack, Fang Xun fell into deep thought.

He could understand that the first source of entanglement came from fire, but where did this second entanglement come from?

Fang Xun turned his gaze to Paimon, who was eating heartily with his mouth bulging.

Noticing Fang Xun's gaze, Paimon was clearly taken aback for a moment. After hesitating for a while, she shared the dessert with Fang Xun.

"Let's get this straight, Paimon only has these desserts left, so you can't eat them all."

...

After arriving at the Knights of Favonius, Fang Xun and Ying split up into two groups.

Ying and Paimon went to Grand Master Falgar's office to inquire about her brother's condition.

Fang Xun, on the other hand, went to see a friend.

The first person he went to see was the tiny Qin.

Qin really liked a light novel called "The Melancholy of Vera the Girl".

The author had recently published two new works, which Fang Xun noticed when he passed by Yaedo Bookstore and bought.

I think Qin will like this gift.

Chapter 441 The Melancholy of the Young Girl Qin

"I thought there would be more to the story, but I never expected this to be the end..."

As she finished reading the last page, Qin slowly closed the novel in her hands.

When I first started reading the novel, I was so curious about the fate of the female protagonist, Vera, that I was eager to see the ending.

Now that she has finished reading the novel, Qin feels a sense of emptiness in her heart.

It was a feeling of lingering affection and reluctance to part, as if Vera's story had only just begun.

At this moment, Qin noticed a note left by the author on the novel's cover.

"Due to the limitations of publication length, 'The Melancholy of Young Vera' will be published in three parts."

"Welcome all readers to purchase from Inatsume Yaedo!"

Upon seeing this, Qin suddenly realized what was going on.

No wonder I couldn't get enough of the novel; it turns out there are two sequels to it!

If I buy the subsequent novels, I'll be able to read Vera's whole story, right?

Thinking of this, Qin hurriedly ran to the bookstore, wanting to buy the two remaining novels to take home.

However, even after searching through every bookstore in Mondstadt, she still couldn't find the sequel novel she was looking for.

"Young lady, we don't currently have the book you're looking for in our store."

"If you really want to see it, you'll have to buy it from Inatsuma Yaedo."

Qin looked very dejected in response to the boss's answer.

Because the journey from Mondstadt to Inazuma takes ten to fifteen days.

This is all assuming everything goes smoothly; if thunderstorms occur at sea, the time will have to be postponed.

Qin's daily schedule is packed with activities arranged by her mother, making it impossible for her to travel far.

Moreover, even if she had the opportunity to go to Inazuma, given her current age and abilities, she wouldn't be able to afford such a large expense.

Ask someone to bring her the book? No, no, I can't let anyone know she likes reading romance novels.

This secret is known only to her and Fang Xun; it must never be known to a third person.

Just as Qin was at her wit's end, someone knocked on the office door.

Qin thought it was her mother, so she quickly put away her novel, jumped off the chair, and ran to open the door.

"Brother Fang Xun?!"

Qin was full of surprise when she saw Fang Xun standing at the door.

She didn't ask, "Why are you here?" but was happy that Fang Xun had come to see her.

Because they got along very well, they had a lot to talk about.

Fang Xun smiled and said, "Qin, it really wasn't easy to find you."

"I had to ask several Knights of Favonius before I finally found Gunnhildr's office."

As the oldest knightly family in Mondstadt, the Gungnird family has a dedicated office within the Knights of Favonius.

This office isn't used much on a regular basis; it's mainly used as Qin's study.

Qin once told Fang Xun that if he wanted to find her, he could come to this office.

"What's wrong, Qin? You seem a little unhappy. Did something go wrong?"

At this moment, Fang Xun noticed Qin's sullen mood and asked her softly.

Qin pouted and said in a wronged tone, "Brother Fang Xun, I bought a novel called 'The Melancholy of Young Vera' before,"
