After she finished speaking, these plain words without any rhetoric also moved Keqing. These were the love words that Qin would say.

Afterwards, Keqing began to ponder how to make up for it. Seeing Keqing's thoughtful look, Qin thought that she understood her painstaking efforts. She just smiled, but was frozen by Keqing's next words.

"Can I make it up to you tonight?" Keqing asked.

tonight……

After a moment of daze, Qin's fair cheeks turned red again.

……

……

After coming out of the Knights' office, Keqing was full of confusion.

Her apology was clearly sincere, and as Qin requested, she did not say "I'm sorry" again, but was prepared to use actual compensation to regain her trust in her.

But Qin directly said that she still had a lot of work to do, and said that Keqing also had important things to do, so she let Keqing go out.

The look of being driven away made Keqing not know where to start looking for herself and what mistake she had made.

However, Keqing didn't have time to think about these questions at this time.

Just like Qin said, she did have something important to do.

That is to go find the God of Wind to solve the doubts.

So she went straight to the tavern, but she met Noelle on the way.

Noelle was also very confused when she saw Lady Keqing appear here. Shouldn't she be with Captain Jean at this time?

After asking, Keqing thought that she could also ask Noel to see if she could get some answers from a clear-minded bystander, so she told Noel what happened next.

After understanding what happened, Noel's little face looked a little dull.

"Ah, Lady Keqing, shouldn't you go back?"

"Go back? Didn't Jean ask me to come out and take care of something?" Keqing asked.

Noelle said nothing, because she didn't know what to say.

Although she didn't know what to do in this situation, she knew that most people would not really do as she was told.

Yet Keqing did just that.

It’s not that Keqing has low EQ.

Because if it were someone else, Keqing might think that the other person was just being polite or shy.

But it’s different if the other party is Qin.

Keqing and Qiqi never beat around the bush in their communication. Whenever they had a dispute, they would draw their swords and use them to convince the other party.

After it was pointed out, Qin often felt a little abnormal. Sometimes she would become like an ordinary girl, shy and at a loss.

……

I went to the tavern with Noelle and looked around amid the noisy crowd and clinking wine glasses.

Keqing also easily spotted the bard sitting on the platform playing the harp.

Just at this moment, the bard's performance also came to an end.

After plucking the last string, Wendy slowly opened her eyes and smiled.

"Today's performance is over. Thank you all for your support."

"Ah, so fast?"

"No, we haven't heard enough, one more song!"

"One more song! One more song!"

Wendy was also very happy with the booing from the people below, but she still shook her head: "The best bards need adequate rest, so that they can keep their throats able to sing the most beautiful songs..."

"Wendy, you're making excuses again. No, no, you have to sing another song. Bartender, bring Wendy a bottle of cider and put it on my head!"

"Yes, I came here just to listen to you sing. The bartender, bring him another bottle of dandelion wine and put it on my head."

A smile immediately appeared on Wendy's face.

"Since everyone is so enthusiastic, I will sing another song."

With that, Wendy sat back on the stool, closed her eyes, and began to play the harp again.

"The second song I'm going to sing is about the ancient legend of Liyue."

“It is also a poem by a legendary person.”

"Liyue? Who is the legendary one who can sing the first song as well as you? Our old Mondstadt savior is so powerful?" someone questioned loudly.

Wendy also smiled slightly, moved her fingers slightly, and spoke the unknown legendary poem in the wind.

A moving melody, coupled with the purest voice in the world.

The bard's singing made everyone feel as if they were there, entering an earth-shaking era and witnessing the birth of a legend.

The zither stopped and the song ended.

In the quiet tavern, Wendy opened her eyes, looked at Keqing at the door, and smiled.

"Long time no see, my old friend."

Chapter 142 141. Is this your reason for slacking off? (1/6)

old friend?

The drinkers who were shocked by the bard's beautiful singing and legendary stories did not notice this word and were still wondering if the poet was drunk and his stories were a bit too exaggerated.

However, Noelle behind Keqing actually heard the word.

Her eyebrows furrowed.

Noelle rarely gets angry, or rather, never gets angry at all.

But the green-clad bard had precedent.

Looking back, the memory of the bard using a glass ball to trick Lady Keqing into thinking that Mora was still fresh in her mind.

It's been less than three months now, and the poet wants to repeat the same old trick again?

As a maid, Noelle couldn't just watch the drunk poet succeed again.

When she walked to Lady Keqing's side and was about to remind her to be careful.

But she found that Lady Keqing seemed to be awake and had a calm face and did not need her to remind her.

"Who is your old friend?"

Keqing's words made Noelle feel relieved, but made the smile on Wendy's face a little stiff.

He touched his head, then apologized, "Ah, sorry, sorry... I mistook you for your old self... Now, regardless of seniority or past, I shouldn't call you that."

"Haha, um... would you like to have a drink with me?" Wendy picked up the wooden wine glass on the table and said with a smile, "Actually, I'm the same as you. I also have a famous name in Liyue. If you're interested, I can tell you about it."

Keqing didn't reply, but frowned at him.

It was obvious that she was not interested. Not only was she not interested, but she looked like she was about to lose her temper.

The great god of wind, Wendy, who claimed to be the best bard in the world, was stared at with such a simple look, and the smile on his face quickly disappeared.

Putting the wine glass back to its place and jumping off the stool, Wendy retracted the harp and prepared to walk towards Keqing.

"Eh? Why did you leave? Sing one more song."

"Yeah, tell me where you got these stories from. They're a bit exaggerated, but they're pretty interesting."

"Wendy, you don't want any more wine?"

……

Amid the groans and confusion of the drinkers, Wendy came to Keqing.

"It seems that you are still so free." Keqing said, "How about the cider?"

"Well...well, I mean, of course it doesn't taste good. I'm just waiting for you to come over here." Wendy said seriously.

Wait for me to come over?

Looking at the serious Venti, Keqing believed this sentence for the time being.

"Noel, please help tell the bartender to replace all the bottles of wine he got with juice." Keqing turned her head and said to Noel.

“Change it to juice?!” Wendy was horrified, then looked at Keqing with a serious expression, also dejected, “Okay… juice is not a bad idea, but it’s a pity that without good wine, the poet can’t sing a beautiful story.”

This reason certainly couldn't convince Keqing, and she wasn't interested in singing.

Keqing didn't come here to listen to Wendy's stories, nor to reminisce with him.

"Let's go to the second floor."

After saying this, Keqing went to the second floor of the tavern.

As an ordinary bard, of course he cannot disobey the noble Seven Stars, not to mention that these Seven Stars are more than just Seven Stars.

Even the reason why he was given the name Barbatos was due to her help.

So Wendy had no choice but to follow.

Compared to the noisy first floor, the second floor is relatively quiet.

Keqing found a seat near the door and sat down, then looked at Venti who was sitting opposite her.

"So you've been drinking and singing here these days?" Keqing's tone was calm, as if she was reminiscing about the past with a friend.

But anyone who knows Keqing knows that she would not travel thousands of miles to Mondstadt to reminisce with her friends at this time.

She must be angry at this moment.

that's the truth.

Tevarin transformed into a dragon of the abyss and fled into the snowy mountains only three thousand meters away from Mondstadt.

As the god of Mondstadt, Venti actually still had the mind to drink and have fun here.

Not to mention asking him to slay the dragon since he has lost most of the divine power brought by worldly faith, but at least he should do something to show others.

This is what made Keqing angry, and also the reason why she was not impressed by the "old friend" mentioned by Venti at first.

And Wendy naturally knew the reason.

"Well...listen to me."

"I'm listening."

Wendy hesitated for a moment and then said, "It's not that I don't want to do something... I just don't know how to do it..."

"What do you mean?"

"What it means is: I still need your help..." Wendy sighed: "I can't save Tevarin alone."

Keqing frowned: "Save?"

If Tvarin was still the same as he was a year ago, and according to what Qin said, he was just contaminated by poisonous blood, then we can indeed talk about "salvation".

But now that the Sky Dragon has fallen into the abyss and is the culprit that released thousands of demons under the Lonely Cloud Pavilion, how can we talk about "salvation"?

"Yeah." Wendy nodded slightly, and then said something that Keqing didn't expect.

"Actually... Tevarin is dying."

"Dead?" Keqing looked surprised.

Wendy nodded slightly. "We discovered that when we were chasing Tevarin, Tevarin was not completely occupied by the abyss. There was still some remnant of his consciousness, so he flew towards the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain."

"The blood poison in its body has spread. The pain brought by the erosion of the power of the abyss and the blood of the poisonous dragon is incomparably compounded. Coupled with the bone-crushing coldness of the snowy mountain, it will only accelerate the passage of its life."

"Then why does it still fly to the snowy mountains?" Keqing asked after a moment of silence.

"Because it is the guardian dragon of Mondstadt." Wendy said softly.

"Even if people no longer love it and regard it as a demon dragon or an evil dragon."

"But it still remembers this place where the breeze caresses it, remembers the oath it made, and remembers that this is the place it wants to protect."
