Yae from Genshin Impact is my sister

"Anyway, thank you for today, Su Bai. The commotion just now should have attracted the Knights of Favonius. Let's have a proper chat at Angel's Gift."

"No, no, please. The feng shui of your tavern clashes with my birth chart. Let's find another place. I don't want to be caught by the Knights of Favonius and put in solitary confinement again."

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Diluc's face. After thinking for a moment that his Dawn Winery hadn't hosted any guests in a long time, Diluc extended an invitation to Su Bai and Ying.

“Su Bai, Ying, if you’re free tomorrow, you can come visit my Dawn Winery. I remember I had someone keep an eye on Tvalin’s Tears, and we should have some news by now.”

"Moreover, the grapes from our Morning Light Winery taste very good. You two can go and try them."

These two sentences struck a chord with Su Bai and Ying. Su Bai loved eating all kinds of fruit, while Ying was almost driven crazy by Dvalin's tears. Mondstadt was full of places with abundant wind element, and she had searched for so many days without finding a single drop.

"By the way, please keep my identity a secret, especially from the Knights."

"Huh? Why? Doesn't someone as powerful as Diluc want to join the Knights of Favonius?"

"The Knights? They're not as reliable as Su Bai."

Diluc snorted and left, leaving behind three bewildered people and Oz, who wondered if he was superfluous.

"Let's hurry up and get out of here. If we don't leave now, we'll be trapped here. It's good that we can leave the monsters outside the city gate to these Knights of Favonius. It will also cover up what happened earlier."

Su Bai's fox ears twitched. He heard many footsteps not far away. Judging from the situation, they seemed to be trying to trap them all here. That would be perfect, as he wouldn't have to deal with the demons outside the city gate.

However, with Oz, the aerial reconnaissance expert, Su Bai and Ying perfectly bypassed all the Favonius Knights. But no one noticed that not far from the crime scene, a white-haired nun was staring blankly at the east gate of Mondstadt, and after a long time, she murmured softly.

"Even if you are Diluc Legiond, the glory of the most devout follower of the Aeolus will not be taken from you."

As these words fell, a Geo-attribute Eye of God pierced the sky and landed in front of the white-haired nun. The nun firmly grasped the Eye of God. Perhaps their West Wind Cathedral should also possess its own power, only in this way could they preserve the glory of being the most devout believer of the Wind God.

(Brothers, please don't think I'm being long-winded, but if you don't have anything important to do, please avoid crowded places. It's quite dangerous, and the roads around here are about to be closed.)

Chapter Thirty: Legnfende

Outside the Dawn Winery, Paimon stared wide-eyed at the luxurious estate not far away. Having never seen the Jade Pavilion before, Paimon was already stunned by the splendor of the Dawn Winery.

"Shadow, after we've dealt with Stormterror, let's ask Lord Diluc if there's anything we need to do."

"With Lord Diluc being so wealthy, he certainly won't treat us unfairly if we do his jobs."

Ying nodded in agreement. Judging from the scale of Dawn Winery, Diluc was clearly a wealthy man; if he were to commission someone, he would undoubtedly pay a large sum of Mora as payment.

"These grapes are really good. They are indeed worthy of being used to make excellent wine. The taste, sweetness and juice are much better than the ones I had in Liyue."

Su Bai picked a bunch of grapes and savored them carefully. Even though he had eaten grapes that Ningguang bought at a high price at Qunyu Pavilion, they still couldn't compare to those grown by Chenxi Winery.

"You two must be Miss Ying and Mr. Su Bai. The master has been waiting in the living room for quite some time. Please come with me."

The old butler greeted the two men warmly. Having been a butler all his life, the old man knew how much his master valued these two, and he patiently answered Paimon's questions.

"I didn't expect you two to arrive so early. Would you like to grab something to eat together?"

"Great, perfect, Paimon didn't eat enough this morning."

The delicious food laid out on the table instantly lured Paimon away. Looking at Paimon's pathetic state, Ying wished she could cook and eat Paimon right now.

"Diluc, I hope I don't get thrown into the solitary confinement room by the Knights of Favonius again at your Dawn Winery?"

Faced with Su Bai's teasing, Diluc, as always, kept a straight face and gave Su Bai a dead fish-like stare, letting Su Bai figure it out for himself. Su Bai indifferently looked around the big villa.

The interior of the Dawn Winery is decorated in a style reminiscent of Old Mondstadt, suggesting that the estate has been around for quite some time. Su Bai had never seen any of the various decorations inside before.

"Diluc, may I go to a room on the second floor and take a look?"

"Do as you please. You are welcome to wander around anywhere except my study."

With Diluc's permission, Su Bai didn't stand on ceremony with him. Once on the second floor, he pushed open a door to a room. Inside, a maid was tidying up. She was startled when Su Bai entered.

"This, sir, this is the master's bedroom. If you would like to rest, you can go to the guest room."

"No need. Once that blonde girl in the hall leaves, just have Diluc come here to find me."

"Huh??? Okay, okay, sweet dreams."

No wonder the master hasn't found a girlfriend. Does Lord Diluc prefer boys? Why? Lord Barbatos, why did you let me meet with love only to end it like this? The heartbroken maid, with red eyes, left the bedroom.

Unaware of the elaborate thoughts this little maid had been having, Su Bai picked up a book from the bedside table and began to peruse it. It was this very book that had allowed him to sense a faint spiritual power.

"The Chronicles of the Legonfinds? This book must record the deeds of the Legonfinds. Let me see what the Legonfinds have done."

Relying on his ability to read ten lines at a glance, a skill he'd acquired while working as deputy editor-in-chief at Yaedo, Su Bai finished the entire book in just half an hour. When he closed it, he couldn't help but marvel at how thoroughly the Legendhand family had embodied the concept of "strength."

"If this were in Liyue, the Leigenfender family would definitely be to the liking of the Emperor."

According to the book, the Legnfender family supported Barbatos when he raised the banner of rebellion, and during Vanessa's reign, when everything was in ruins, the Legnfender family produced the Dawn Knights to help Vanessa stabilize the situation in Mondstadt.

Looking at the modern era, Diluc's father clashed with a dragon to protect Diluc, and although he lost his life, his courage was enough for him to hold his head high in the other world and tell his ancestors that he had not disgraced the Lygenfender family.

As for Diluc, his father was wronged, so Diluc stopped being a knight and even gave up the Eye of God to travel to the Seven Kingdoms alone (actually to investigate the Evil Eye). Such courage is rare in the world. Although Diluc's story was written by Diluc himself, Su Bai did not doubt that Diluc exaggerated.

"Also being nobles, Lawrence is simply disgracing the Mondstadt nobility. The only one the Lawrence family can probably boast about is Yura. I wonder what kind of nobles the Gunnhild family will be."

The book's praise of the Gunnhildr family made Su Bai even more interested in them, one of Mondstadt's three great noble families. Books with stories and history like this were much more interesting than light novels.

"Su Bai, Su Bai, what are you looking at? Do you want to come with us to find the Abyss Mage? Lord Diluc has a note here that only the Abyss Mage can translate."

"These are grapes that I specially saved for you, Su Bai. Have some to tide you over. Master Diluc said he'll treat us to a big meal at noon."

Paimon, who was stuffed, rushed into Diluc's bedroom with a bunch of grapes in his hand. The adorable Paimon gave Su Bai a bunch of grapes because he saw that Su Bai was not eating with them.

"Thank you, Little Pai. I'm sorry, Diluc didn't come?"

"Su Bai, what did you say to my maid? Why do I feel like there's something strange about the way she's looking at me?"

Unable to fly directly to the second floor like Paimon, Diluc and Luminous heard Su Bai's question from inside the bedroom as they reached the door. Thinking of the strange look in the little maid's eyes earlier, Diluc felt like a big villain.

"I don't know if your little maid is right or wrong, but I know you're about to cry."

"Cry? Lord Diluc would cry? Impossible."

Thinking of Diluc's dead fish eyes and expressionless face, Paimon shook his head in disbelief. If Diluc could cry, then Luminous could defeat Dvalin.

Ying also thought that Su Bai was just joking. The naive Ying wanted to tug at Su Bai's clothes to tell him to stop joking, but seeing that Su Bai looked very serious, Ying hesitated for a while and still chose to believe Su Bai.

“Diluc, I can see your longing for your father in this book, and I also admire your father very much.”

The book in Su Bai's hand slowly floated in the air. The immortal power in his body continuously poured into the wisp of soul in the book, and the soul, which was about to dissipate, slowly revived under the nourishment of the immortal power.

Faint white light spots spilled out from the book, and these white light spots slowly gathered together to form the shape of a person. As Su Bai's face became paler, the hair, limbs, and facial features of the 'person' in front of them gradually became clear. Finally, a handsome middle-aged man appeared in front of everyone.

"Where am I? Diluc, are you alright?"

"Ghost, ghost!"

Paimon screamed and instantly hid behind Luminous. Luminous's heart trembled violently, and she was almost flung out like a tornado.

Diluc stared intently at the soul floating in mid-air, tears welling up in the eyes of this strong man. Looking at the familiar smile on the soul's face, Diluc uttered two words buried deep in his heart in a trembling voice.

"Father."

(I personally really like Diluc, but could you please stop using the pity system? One is enough, please don't do it anymore.)

Chapter Thirty-One: Inside the Ruins

Inside a ruin, Ying was fighting a group of Hilichurls with her flying sword, while Su Bai and Paimon were each munching on an apple without a trace of tension.

"Ying, quickly move to the left."

"Little Paimon, stop giving orders! Ying, quickly roll to the right!"

Ying gritted her teeth, desperately suppressing the urge to kill Su Bai and Paimon standing nearby. If they were in an open area, she would have already dealt with these Hilichurls.

"Su Bai, are you sure that making me deal with so many Hilichurls is a prerequisite for learning powerful moves?"

"Of course! I've studied Granny Ping's spear technique, Brother Xiao's Xiu technique, that old woman Ying's Moment of Annihilation, the swordsmanship of the Inazuma family, and so on. Oh right, I've also learned a little bit about the Oni clan's staff techniques."

"Back in Inazuma, I had a title called Weapon Master. I could wield any weapon, not just weapons, I could even use a street lamp to eliminate monsters."

Su Bai quickly finished the apple in her hand, had Paimon take out a blunt sword and a mercenary greatsword from her space, and then rushed straight into the monster horde.

Ten seconds later

"Save! Save! Save! Save!"

Half a minute later, a bolt of lightning struck from the sky and turned the monsters into ashes.

"Is that all?"

Su Bai, looking somewhat disheveled, tossed the sword aside. He had wanted to show Ying what it meant to seamlessly switch between one-handed and two-handed swords, but he hadn't expected to be so rusty from not holding a sword for so long. He failed to catch the two-handed sword he had thrown into the air and it struck the monster instead.

"Su Bai, your swordsmanship is so strange. Is this what a weapon master is all about? It feels more like acrobatics to me..."

"You're not lying to me, are you? I, Paimon, am very smart!"

Paimon scratched her head, feeling that Su Bai was somewhat unreliable. Ying, on the other hand, stood with her hands on her hips, staring intently at Su Bai. Ying was now certain that she had been fooled by Su Bai.

"I'm not kidding you. It's just that I've been studying immortal arts for the past few years and I've almost forgotten my skills."

"I won't listen! Su Bai, you bad guy, you lied to me! I'm going to give you an awful nickname!"

"Hmm—, I'll call you Juggler then."

Su Bai gave a wry smile. He really hadn't lied to Ying. His martial arts skills used to be quite good, and he had mastered various moves. He never expected that after two years of not using them, he would have become so rusty. It was truly a slap in the face.

"Celestial Arts? Is that the magical technique that summoned Diluc's father?"

Ying was curious about the magic that Su Bai mentioned. Perhaps the magic could help her find her brother. Su Bai didn't hide anything from her and nodded readily.

"That is indeed a kind of magic, using magic power to temporarily slow down the consumption of the soul, so that the soul can communicate with people."

"Temporarily? Could it be..."

Su Bai didn't say anything more, just nodded slightly. Ying also understood why Su Bai had forcibly dragged her away from Chenxi Winery and said he would teach her some powerful moves.

In this time of solitude that seemed to have no end, Diluc had so much to say to his father, and as an outsider, she really shouldn't have stayed there.

Ying felt a pang of sadness when she thought about how she had just doubted Su Bai's deception. While she was still feeling sad, Paimon had already flown to Su Bai's side and apologized to him.

"Su Bai, I'm sorry, my attitude wasn't very good just now. I shouldn't have doubted you."

"If you're not angry with me, then I'll touch your tail, but don't pull it away."

Before Paimon could finish speaking, his chubby little hands had already touched Su Bai's tail. Seeing that his plan had succeeded, Paimon chuckled foolishly twice.

"Um, Su Bai, I'm sorry."
