Suddenly, the smile vanished from Gensou's face. An arrow flashed from his fingertip and flew out, embedding itself in a corner of the wall not far away. The flying debris startled the guy hiding there, who let out a cry of pain. After seeing the man's face clearly, Barbara said with a hint of trouble in her voice:

"Mr. Albert, are you alright?"

190 Do you have any other emergency food supplies outside?

Albert?

After Barbara mentioned it, Gensou remembered that he did indeed seem to have seen such a person before.

"Mr. Albert, everyone is very busy right now, so would you please go and help out?"

Seeing Genji's increasingly hostile gaze, Barbara hesitated for a moment, then spoke up, giving Albert a way out and urging him to leave quickly. Genji reluctantly used 'Cyclone' to retrieve the launched arrow, and looked at Barbara, saying:

"Don't you care about this?"

"I still don't really like it."

Barbara walked side by side with Yuanxiang, her head bowed as she softly replied:

"But my wish is to bring smiles to everyone around me, and Mr. Albert is just too supportive of me..."

"Bringing smiles doesn't mean tolerating mistakes. Just like trees, pruning away excess branches in time will make their fruit sweeter."

Gensou, tossing his arrows, stopped and looked at the bustling Mondstadt city. He smiled and said to Barbara:

"Besides, if you yourself aren't even smiling happily, how can you bring smiles to others? And since they are your fans, shouldn't you, as their idol, be guiding them correctly?"

"source...."

"Shh~~~"

Just as they were about to reach a crowded area, Genshou interrupted Barbara and said in a low voice:

"Call me Tsukasa Kadoya."

"Kadoya Tsukasa, as expected of you."

Although they hadn't met many times, Barbara knew a good enough amount about Gensou's character, and having frequented Fuuto, she could understand why Gensou wanted to change his address. She glanced at Gensou, who seemed a little nervous, and chuckled softly:

"But to be honest, walking with me is already quite eye-catching."

There's nothing we can do; after all, he's Mondstadt's idol.

Barbara smugly muttered to herself, then saw Gensou reveal a faint smile. In that instant, the idol's expression froze slightly, because she saw Gensou's true intention. He did indeed want to leave her behind, but felt that it would be too impolite, so he was too embarrassed to say it.

"You...you...uh~~!!"

Barbara blushed, pursed her lips, and glared angrily at Gengo. She then gave a soft snort, left with a neat pair of pigtails, and Gengo blinked, scratching the back of his neck in confusion.

Was my expression just now so easy to guess?

Well, at least now I can sneak all the way to the Mondstadt tavern. I'll process the materials I have and use the money to buy Barbara a small gift as an apology.

Gensho clenched his fist as he thought this, then placed his hand on the wall beside him, intending to walk across the roof. Just then, Barbara returned, looked at Gensho, and said:

"You interrupted me just now, and I hadn't even finished speaking. Since 'Mr. Kadoya Tsukasa' wants me to laugh first, then please take care of your health during battles. If you fall, who will protect Fuuto?"

After saying that, Barbara turned and left decisively. Judging by the time, her sister should have finished dealing with the bombs for Klee by now. She needed to go back and tell her sister about Gensou's whereabouts. As for the Medal of Honor and other things that the Knights of Favonius wanted to give to Gensou, she could just have Nanoha give them to him. Anyway, that guy would definitely not attend any awarding ceremony or similar event, and if she gave them to him directly, he would probably refuse.

........

"Let me tell you, it happened just as that giant slime was about to destroy the Mondstadt Statue of the Wind!"

In the Mondstadt tavern, a slightly tipsy Venti sat at the central table, drinking and recounting the scene to those around him. Although he had told the story many times before, everyone still loved to listen, so he was happy to continue, since usually someone would buy him a drink after he finished.

"The messenger of the wind god, Kamen Rider Ccylone... Hmm!"

This time, just as Wendy was beginning to engage the audience and build to the climax of the story, a sudden flash of green light illuminated his face, interrupting him. However, the familiar feeling immediately made Wendy realize who had arrived. He laughed heartily twice and was about to say something when, before everyone's eyes, a bright red figure seemed to flash by, bringing with it a considerable breeze. As for the bard, he vanished with the wind.

"Hiccup, Gensho, what are you doing? I haven't finished my lines yet, I'm about to let you make your official entrance."

Looking at the Wind God reeking of alcohol in front of him, Gengo sighed with a headache. Then, he raised his sword-like eyebrows, and his chilling killing intent instantly sobered Wendy up. But judging from his appearance, it seemed that he was the same whether he was sober or not. Therefore, Gengo was too lazy to continue to argue with him about this issue and directly asked him the question he cared about most.

"You said you seemed to have appeared in Liyue before?"

Wendy lay half-reclined on the shore of Cider Lake, playing in the water, and said in a lazy tone:

“Be confident. Let’s drop the suspicion. When I was drinking with Geo before, he mentioned that he once had a comrade-in-arms who wore black armor that could call out ‘Joker.’ So when you first came to Mondstadt, I suspected that you might be the person he was talking about. However, since the age didn’t match, I didn’t take it too seriously. But now… since that Yaksha has said he’s not mistaken, then it must be you.”

At this point, Wendy sat up straight, stretched, and chuckled as she put her arm around Gensou's shoulder, saying:

"Don't worry about it being a trap or anything. To be honest, with the Geo Archon's personality, he prefers to throw rocks at people's faces rather than try to trick them. So you can go to Liyue Harbor and check the situation, but you probably won't get much information. After all, even if that old man is the Geo Archon, he seems to have forgotten most of his memories of you for some unknown reason, and he doesn't even remember your name."

"But we still have to make a trip to Liyue."

Gensou said helplessly that the conductor had told him about the dark gold gear on the train, so Gensou was also curious about what had happened in the previous reincarnation, wondering if he had also possessed a portal that could travel through time and space and formed bonds with people from other worlds.

"By the way, Venti, didn't you know that this used to be my main area of ​​activity in Liyue?"

At this moment, Gensou remembered something and asked Wendy if he could know this. Perhaps he could go to the 'library' to investigate that part of history. After all, this is not his Earth, and it would be as difficult as breaking into a bank vault to find something.

"Haha, this question is really too difficult for me."

Wendy laughed and waved her hand, then looked at Gensou and said seriously:

"Anyway, based on what I've heard, you participated in most of the battles, big and small, in Liyue a thousand years ago. But the one you fought the hardest was at Tianheng Mountain. However, Liyue Harbor is just south of Tianheng Mountain. Since you're already there, why don't you just go and ask the Geo Archon?"

"I see, I understand. I'll be going now. Oh, right."

Gensho nodded, indicating that he had taken Wendy's words to heart. But as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and looked at Wendy, saying:

"When you came to my place with Barbara before, didn't you reveal your identity?"

"Haha, that little girl is really clever. She kept testing me, but I used one sentence to make her stop bothering me completely."

Wendy smiled smugly, plucked a string from the harp beside her, and whispered:

"I said, 'Barbara, do you really think the Wind God would be a bard like me?' After that, the little girl just walked away dumbfounded. Haha, how about that? I was clever, wasn't I!"

"Wendy, let's get down to business..."

Seeing Wendy and the others praising him, Gensou couldn't help but laugh and complain. The boy understood why Barbara hadn't come to him. If she were sure that the wind god she had always believed in was such an unrefined drunkard, the devout priestess would probably have broken down on the spot.

"Alright, alright, you go ahead and get busy. I'm going back to the tavern to continue drinking."

At this moment, Wendy stood up and said somewhat impatiently:

"You pulled me out too quickly just now; I haven't even tasted my cider yet. If you need help, just call me, and Mondstadt Thousand Winds will relay your message. Bye~~~"

Before he could finish speaking, the bard had already happily disappeared. Yuanxiang shook his head helplessly, not caring too much, and turned to go to the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius to say goodbye before heading towards Liyue Harbor.

.......

"Since you are going to Liyue, why not invite Ying to come along?"

After Genshou refused her offer to stay, Jean suggested to Genshou that since the acting leader didn't know that Genshou could fly, it would be more convenient to have another person accompany him. Furthermore, Ying was also heading to Liyue to find her lost relatives, so their goals were the same.

"Is she going too? Okay, I'll go find her and give her a ride. I'll be going now, Commander Qin."

"Mr. Gensho".

Qin called out to Yuanxiang, who was about to leave. Looking at the young man before her, she gripped the hilt of her sword and said with a solemn expression:

"Jane, the 'Dandelion Knight,' will always respond to your requests, but if you stray from justice, I will not hesitate to point it out and stop you!"

"Haha, very good, I'll remember this agreement. Dying by a beauty's sword doesn't seem like such a bad way to die."

Yuanxiang chuckled teasingly, backing away while tracing a line on his forehead with two fingers and saying:

"But I don't think that day will ever come, so let's meet again in the future, Captain Qin, bye-bye~~ Oh, by the way, please give this little gift to Barbara, that's all."

In a cheerful tone, Gensou's figure disappeared from Qin's sight. A few minutes later, he reappeared outside the Deer Hunter's Restaurant. Paimon, who had just finished a hearty meal, was slumped in his chair, rubbing his slightly protruding belly, and said in a dazed tone:

"As long as I eat something delicious, all the fatigue from traveling can be swept away. I wish I could eat this much every time."

Sitting opposite, Ying glanced at Paimon and said thoughtfully:

"Hmm... but if Paimon gets fat, will he be unable to fly?"

Hearing this, Paimon patted his chest smugly and said proudly, "Hmph, no way! I'm the type who can't gain weight no matter how much I eat!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ying and the waiter next to her exchanged subtle glances, which could be summarized as envy, jealousy, and hatred. Paimon, completely unaware, continued wiping imaginary drool from his mouth and said:

"So I want to eat even more delicious food! Paimon is going to eat to his heart's content!"

Okay, now all that's left in the eyes of those around Paimon is hatred.

"Eating all you want won't make you gain weight..."

Ying looked at Paimon with a merciless gaze and said disdainfully:

"From the perspective of emergency food, isn't it substandard?"

"Hey--"

As Yuanxiang expected, Little Paimon immediately flew up in dissatisfaction, put his hands on his hips, looked at Ying, and shouted loudly:

"Do you have any other qualified emergency food supplies outside?"

"So this is what you care about?"

Gensou couldn't help but mutter a complaint, then walked over, greeted Gensou, found an empty seat, and sat down. Paimon, meanwhile, enthusiastically struck up a conversation with Gensou:

"Gen... Tsukasa Kadoya, are you here to eat too? Then try this delicious Sweet Flower Chicken. The poultry is roasted after being honey-brewed, and the meat is so sweet and tender, it's like flowing honey. You'll want to suck every bone clean. And this Mondstadt Grilled Fish, the fish skewers are slowly grilled over a low flame, and the oil is delicately distributed between the crispy skin and the tender flesh. Just a light bite and your mouth is filled with fragrance..."

"Alright, alright, let's talk about the food later."

Seeing that Paimon was about to drool as she spoke, Gensho quickly interrupted her, then looked at Ying and said softly:

"I'm going to Liyue now, would you like to come with me?"

"That's great, thank you, Tsukasa Kadoya."

Ying happily agreed, knowing that with Yuanxiang's help, she could save a lot of time.

"In that case, let's get ready to set off now."

As she spoke, Gensou stood up, and Ying also picked up Paimon from the side and held him in her arms. She followed Gensou towards the outskirts of Mondstadt. Before this, she had already told her friends in Mondstadt that she would be leaving Mondstadt soon, so there was no need to say goodbye to them.

Gengo walked along, responding to those who struck up conversations with 'Kadoya Tsukasa'—he had helped out along the way on his way to the Knights of Favonius, which had made him quite a few acquaintances in Mondstadt. After leaving the city gates, the boy and girl disappeared into the swirling wind.

191 Me? A guardian spirit?!

"This is too fast, Paimon really can't take it anymore..."
