The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

He couldn't fathom why Kiana was there.

Surely you didn't come all this way just to fight me, did you?

Even so, why couldn't we make an appointment in advance when we were at Wanmintang?

But if we rule out this possibility...

"Do you know?"

The young master raised the Winter Star, slowly staring at the Big Dipper, then glanced at Kiana.

They seemed to have realized Kiana's true purpose in coming here.

"That's right, we've known each other before. Sister Beidou has helped us so much."

Kiana smiled and then scratched the back of her head.

"Could you both please compromise? Even if you're going to fight, I don't think it should happen in someone else's restaurant, should it?"

The Battle Between Flame and Lightning and the Abyss (Genshin Impact): Chapter Twenty-Two, let's get started quickly, I'm in a hurry.

Liuli Pavilion and Xinyue Pavilion are the main restaurants of famous cuisines in Liyue Harbor, and can be considered two of the most prestigious restaurants in Liyue Harbor.

Most of the people who come here are those who are somewhat famous in Liyue Harbor.

Now, this kind of incident has actually happened at Liuliting, one of the two major restaurants.

Presumably, the General Affairs Department will soon realize that something is amiss here and will begin to dispatch the Chiiwa Army to conduct arbitration.

"In that case, Beidou and the others will definitely be taken away, and I'll have to go to the General Affairs Department to ask them questions. It's such a hassle."

To prevent this from happening, Kiana decided to step in and stop the fight.

Anyway, from what I heard just now, it wasn't exactly a major conflict.

The fact that they would fight over something so trivial suggests that Beidou was a bit drunk and the young master was overly reckless.

"I think even if you're going to fight, you shouldn't be doing it while Ruri-tei is open for business, right? If the General Affairs Department finds out what happened here, how do you plan to explain it to the Chiiwa Army who came to handle it?"

Kiana asked with a smile, which could be considered a fair statement.

In response to her account, Beidou and Gongzi exchanged views.

"This... hiccup, that seems to be the case."

Beidou wanted to drink again, but just as the wine reached his lips, Wanye hurriedly reached out and snatched the wine pot away.

"Boss, drink less. Otherwise, if a conflict breaks out, facing them like this could be dangerous."

"Uh... Mind your own business? You brat!"

The sake flask was held in Manyo's arms, while Hokuto, still furious, slapped the Inazuma samurai on the head.

'Snapped! '

With a loud thud, Wan Ye clutched his forehead, revealing a rare expression of discomfort.

However, Man Ye, who had been hit, was not angry. He just continued to put the wine pot aside, refusing to let Hokuto continue drinking.

The female captain was so angry that she raised her fist and waved it around, clearly wanting to teach this underling a lesson.

However, just as the Death Star side was becoming lively due to the bickering between these two well-known figures, a division also arose on the Fatui side.

"Officer, I heard from my former comrades who were on missions in Inazuma that..."

A debt collector wearing a mask and a shawl slowly approached and began to explain to the young master.

As the subordinate recounted the story, the young master gradually realized...

The white-haired girl in front of me doesn't seem like someone to be trifled with.

This is really...

Very good!

"Hehe, I had already guessed that you were unusual, and now it seems... that's indeed the case."

The young master looked at Kiana with a calm expression, his eyes revealing a strong fighting spirit.

Clearly, he would much rather fight Kiana than destroy Captain Hokuto, who had slain the Sea Mountain.

After all, according to the information provided by the debt collector, this white-haired girl...

Is this a terrifying being capable of rivaling Thor?

If this were a normal person, hearing such explosive news would be...

Most would choose to desert their posts.

But the young master won't!

"What do you mean? Are you planning to stand up for the crew of the Death Star?"

Looking at Kiana, the young master's expression was incredibly irritating.

Or rather, it is filled with the desire to fight.

"I advise you not to meddle in other people's business, you traveler from who-knows-where."

"Huh? Mind your own business? I didn't..."

"Enough of this idle talk, traveler. If you remain obstinate, you will become an enemy of the fools."

The young master clapped his hands, completely revealing his true colors from when he was in the Golden House.

After hearing the Fatui Enforcer speak like this, Kiana, the person involved, and Kage, who was an outsider, exchanged a glance.

Everyone felt a bit confused.

After all this time, did he really need to remind him that he was an enemy of the Fools?

"Datalia, what do you mean?"

Seeing Kiana's straightforward question, the young master put one hand on his hip and decisively challenged her to a duel:

"Hehe, if you really want to stand up for them, that's fine, but you have to be able to defeat me first."

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Hokuto, who was busy reprimanding Man-yeo, was displeased.

What kind of talk is that?

They even stood up for me?

I can deal with you, the executor of the Fools, myself. Do I need someone else to help me?

"You blond-haired brat, I think you are—!"

However, just as Beidou was about to retort forcefully, he heard Kiana, who stood at the entrance of the Glazed Pavilion, slowly agree:

"I don't understand what you're thinking, but since you want to fight... I'll play along. But let's choose a location outside Liyue Harbor."

"As you wish."

The young master didn't waste any more words; at this moment, he was eager to test his strength against Kiana.

I'll take a look at this girl who is said to be able to contend with the gods.

Whether it's an exaggeration or not remains to be seen.

...

The location is a meadow outside Liyue Harbor.

The location is high up, offering a perfect view of the entrance archway to Liyue Harbor.

Overall, it's neither too close nor too far from Liyue Harbor; it's just a short walk away.

There aren't many large buildings nearby, making it a good place for friendly competition.

The young master and his many advance team members stood to one side, while Kiana and Shadow, somewhat outnumbered, stood opposite him.

"Excellent, excellent, this is a great place. Let's fight to our hearts' content!"

The young master clapped his hands, signaling his men to step back, and then raised his hand, revealing a look of fighting spirit.

As he spoke frankly, Kiana heard the long-lost system notification sound in her ear.

[Ding! Host has successfully triggered the hidden mission: Duel.]

[How to complete this mission: Defeat Tartaglia, who has initiated the challenge!]

[Completing this task will reward you with 3000 Herrscher Points!]

[Friendly reminder: The characters in this story are deeply intertwined with the fate of the world. Accidentally killing one could have dire consequences. It is strongly advised that you avoid such events.]

Clearly, the system didn't want to eliminate the young master for no reason.

This, in turn, leads to a disruption in the world's destiny.

So, faced with this executive who took the initiative to challenge me, all I can do is teach him a lesson.

"Given the system's temperament, if I accidentally kill the young master, the consequences will likely be dire. I'm afraid I'll have to confront the world's maintainers head-on. So, forget it, let's teach him a lesson."

Thinking of this, Kiana stretched and then waved her hand at the young master:

"Let's get started, I'm in a hurry."

"A battle prowess comparable to that of a god? Let me see for myself!"

After the young master finished speaking, he took out the Winter Star and planned to test it out with his archery skills, which he was not very good at.

Then, several arrows flew out in a flash, and something happened that surprised him and the advance team of fools.

Kiana unleashed a single sword strike, instantly vaporizing the water elemental arrows.

After the flames subsided, a uniquely shaped royal sword appeared before the young master and the advance team members...

"Is this your sword? It's a beautiful sword."

Upon seeing Kiana draw her sword, the young master showed neither disappointment nor surprise.
