I'm in Teyvat, join the chat group.

"Ok."

Hearing his refusal, Noel showed a hint of regret.

So you're really planning to feed me?!

He decided to drop the subject.

"Well then, Noelle, I have other matters to attend to today, so I'll be leaving now."

"Okay, have a safe trip."

Noelle bowed, and when she straightened up again, Li Xiao had vanished.

At this time, Li Xiao had already gone to Fontainebleau.

When he arrived at the Opiclie Opera House, almost everyone had already arrived.

"So, Lady Funina, you're lying to me?"

Chiori was questioning Funina.

"Alright, alright, Lady Funina must have her reasons for doing this, Chiori, don't be angry."

Navia comforted her from the side.

Chavoret and Claurind ignored the farce and watched warily as Arecino leaned against the wall and Linnie and Linette stood beside her.

Navelette stood behind Frynn, with Melusin standing beside him, who was none other than Siegwen.

However, to Li Xiao's surprise, Leolis was also beside Navelette.

"Huh? So there's no news here?"

Charlotte looked completely bewildered.

Hey! Looks like everyone's here!

Li Xiao's appearance drew everyone's attention.

"Lord Li Xiao!"

The servant realized what was happening and bowed slightly to him.

Linnie and Lynette followed closely behind.

Last night, Lynette was also informed of Li Xiao's identity.

This scene drew surprised glances from everyone present.

"Some of you may not know me yet, so let me introduce myself first."

"My name is Li Xiao, and I am currently the Wind God of Mondstadt."

"The Wind God..."

Some of the people present only knew that the Wind God seemed to have come to Fontaine yesterday, but they didn't really have a feeling about it.

Looking at Li Xiao standing there, surrounded by faint blue light, he exuded an imposing aura.

Then look at your own water god, who just stands there in an ordinary way, not only lacking in presence but also exuding a foolishness.

Several people present fell silent.

You don't know until you compare, and once you do, you'll be shocked.

The difference is huge...

Noticing the stares from everyone, Funina, still confused, scratched her head and asked in a puzzled tone:

"What's wrong with everyone? Why are you all looking at me?"

Seeing Funina's hilarious expression, Li Xiao almost burst out laughing.

He really didn't mean to damage Funina's image.

He added a lot of special effects to give everyone a good first impression, but he didn't expect it to accidentally hurt her.

"Then, may I ask what you gentlemen intend to do by gathering us all here?"

Navia asked politely.

“That’s right! I was curious too. If I hadn’t been wandering around in the middle of the night and seen Vilette, I might have missed it.”

Leolis chimed in agreement.

Li Xiao looked at Navelette and Funina with a slightly surprised expression.

Didn't you tell them?

"Ms. Funina said it's best if you explain it yourself, so that you won't make mistakes in the details."

Li Xiao glanced at Fu Ningna suspiciously. Would she really think that much? Or was she just too lazy to explain?

"What an rude look you're giving me!"

"It's nothing, I just admire your thoughtfulness and intelligence."

Don't think I don't know what you mean!

Fu Ningna was furious. Although she didn't understand Li Xiao's specific meaning, she was certain that he was up to no good.

Li Xiao ignored Fu Ningna and began explaining to the others why they had been gathered together.

"So it is, so it is. Do you understand?"

Leolis nodded.

“I understand now, that explains it. Is the prophecy about to happen because of the original sin inherent in us Fontaines?”

"Oh dear, I never imagined I'd lived this long without realizing I wasn't human."

Chiori raised an eyebrow.

"So, this has nothing to do with me, right? I am Inatsume, and I just came to Fontaine to develop my career."

"Chiori, didn't Lord Li Xiao just say that you also have a fragment of Lady Egolia's authority?"

Navia thought she hadn't understood what Li Xiao had just said, so she explained it to her again.

Chiori sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation, muttering to herself in frustration:

"That's why I wanted to ask, why did that fragment of authority come to me?"

"Well... the main reason is that the previous owner of the power fragment happened to die, so we matched you, who is the most suitable one nearby."

"Okay, I understand. I will do my best to cooperate."

In the end, Chiori agreed, after all, this place not only housed her businesses, but also many of her cherished friends.

She would do her part and wouldn't stand idly by.

After seeing that Chiori had no problems, Li Xiao looked at the others.

"So what are your thoughts? If you have any questions, you can speak up."

Everyone shook their heads, indicating that they were fine.

However, Charlotte suddenly appeared and excitedly spoke up:

"Can I post this on the Steambird Newspaper? This is an epic event that saved the entire Fontaine! I never thought I'd be involved in such a big event."

"If you can get other people's consent, then post it."

"Thank you, Lord Wind God!"

Charlotte glanced at everyone present, then spoke with great fighting spirit.

"Now that we've finished our small talk, could you please tell us what specific tasks you need us to perform?"

Seeing that no one else was speaking, Arecino broke her silence and asked Li Xiao a question.

"Of course, but since one person can't come, the ceremony may need to be modified."

"Who? Aren't all the ones you mentioned yesterday here?"

Fu Ningna counted the people and found no mistakes.

“You should know, Funina.”

Seeing the way Li Xiao was staring at her, Funina suddenly remembered something.

You mean...her?

She was referring to the reflection of herself in the mirror, namely Fukalos.

"Yes."

Furninna was silent.

Seeing that she remained silent, Villette understood that this must be the secret she was hiding. However, instead of asking Funina, he spoke to Li Xiao:

"Mr. Li Xiao, may I ask what the procedure for the ceremony is?"

"The friend who didn't come gave me one of her personal items, and I can summon fragments of authority by relying on her aura attached to it."

But to maintain the balance of the ceremony, I also need a personal item from everyone on the list.

"Personal items..."

The women present blushed immediately.

"Anything is acceptable?"

"Something like socks will do."
