If Wendy thinks she can obtain a second Eye of the Wind and control the elemental power of wind, then she can.

Her skills can also be taken to a higher level.

But Wendy is a riddle person.

Although Keqing felt that there was not much difference between gods and humans and there was no need to deify them too much, they were definitely her predecessors in the field of elements. She had said a lot of things that should not have been said, and Keqing could not continue to lose face for the God of Wind.

"Is the thunder referring to me or the thunder? What is the fate with the wind..."

While Keqing was walking and thinking about Wendy's words, Noel, who had been following closely behind Keqing, was almost worried to death.

Finally, she couldn't hold back anymore and stood in front of Keqing.

"Ah, Noelle, what's wrong?" Keqing asked puzzledly.

Noelle looked into Keqing's eyes and said seriously, "Lady Keqing!"

"you were fooled!"

Chapter 32. I want to tell her the truth

"Being cheated?"

If someone told Keqing that someone dared to lie to her, Keqing's first reaction would be that the other person was the liar.

She had caught so many scammers in Liyue that she couldn’t even count them with ten pairs of hands, let alone the fact that there was any scammer who dared to cheat her.

However, as an elegant maid, Keqing rarely saw Noelle lose her composure like this.

Seeing that Lady Keqing was finally pulled out of the world she was immersed in, Noelle let out a sigh of relief, and then continued to explain, "Lady Keqing, I heard everything you said to that guy."

As soon as Noelle opened his mouth, Keqing knew he was a veteran.

It is obvious who the "scammer" is.

However, when Keqing learned that Noelle had listened to their entire conversation, she was quite happy and said, "Oh, so that's perfect. Noelle, can you help me think about what he meant by the fate of the wind?"

Unlike Keqing, Noelle's thinking might give her unexpected surprises.

But Noelle shook her head and refused.

"Ke! Qing! Master!"

Noelle looked at Keqing seriously.

“Okay, go ahead and talk.” Keqing had no choice but to pretend to be serious.

"That green bard is definitely a liar." Noelle frowned and said, "Although I remember that he was quite popular in Mondstadt, but a few days ago, before you came to Mondstadt, Master Keqing, I saw him sneaking around with the Knights."

"At first I thought he was just a helpful bard, but when Lady Keqing took out Mora just now, that guy's eyes were shining!"

Glowing?

Why didn’t Keqing see it?

Keqing smiled and said, "Noelle, you've worked hard. It's right to be cautious, but don't worry too much."

Only a few people in the Knights know Wendy's true identity. Obviously, Noel doesn't know it, so he thinks she is a thief.

"I just came to ask a few questions."

Seeing Keqing's disbelieving attitude, Noelle became a little anxious.

"But...any adventurer would answer Lady Keqing's questions in the same way."

"Ah? Is that so?"

After thinking about it, it seems that the questions I asked can be answered by anyone who can tell a story.

Shaking her head, Keqing smiled and said, "To judge whether a person is a bad person based solely on subjective judgment is not in line with the style of a knight."

“…Is that so?” Noel clenched his fists, as if he had indeed violated the noble principles of chivalry.

However, she still had to wake up Lady Keqing.

"It's not subjective! I have evidence!"

Noelle's eyes were full of determination.

She looked at Keqing's hand and said, "Master Keqing, he gave you a gem, right?"

Looking at the gem in her hand, Keqing nodded.

This was Wendy's gift, and she said it might be useful when she got there.

"There" of course refers to the seal of the Wind Dragon Ruins.

As the God of Wind, he expended a great deal of power to prevent a major crisis, and someone will still be needed to resolve it later.

"Does Lady Keqing think this is some kind of treasure?"

"Yes." Keqing nodded. How could the things given by the God of Wind not be treasures?

"Oh." Noelle sighed. She pointed at the gem and said, "This is a green glass ball. You can buy it at the small shop next to Mond Nursery School. One Mora can buy a big bag of it."

Keqing didn't believe it, and the determined maid asked her to wait a moment, and then she really bought a large bag of identical "emeralds".

"But... maybe there is something special here?" Keqing said.

The one from Liyue once gave her something that looked ordinary, but actually contained divine power.

Noelle clenched her fists, feeling extremely anxious. She was not a diplomatic knight in the Knights Templar, and her eloquence was not very good. It was too difficult for her to convince others.

"Okay, okay, Noelle, you're worried that I'll waste so much money, right?" Keqing comforted.

"Eh?" Noelle didn't expect that Lady Keqing actually knew what she was thinking.

"Yes, there are so many Moras, there must be tens of thousands." Noel felt uncomfortable when he thought about how Lady Keqing's Moras were deceived by the bard in just a few words to buy wine and live a carefree life.

"Just Mora, not important to me." Keqing said with a smile. She reached out and was about to pat Noelle on the head, but then she found that she was the same height as her.

Forget it then.

He patted her shoulder instead.

"Noelle, you have to understand that what's important is never the possessions, but the things around you that you can't afford to lose."

"For example, if one day your companions need your protection, do you think Mora is more important or your companions are more important?"

Noelle immediately said, “Of course, a companion.”

"Yeah, then it's a deal. When I need your protection, I'll give you 5 million Mora as hard work fee."

"Five! Five million!" Noel was so shocked by the number that his mouth opened slightly, but then he thought of something.

"But, Lady Keqing doesn't need my protection, right?"

As one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, Keqing has a decent amount of savings, but it is impossible for her to just take five million.

She just wanted Noel to not care about it. She knew that Noel was doing it for her sake.

“Who knows?” Keqing blinked, “By then, Noelle will be the richest woman in the entire Knights.”

"Rich! Rich woman?!!"

The silver-haired maid covered her mouth and her face turned as red as an apple.

……

……

After returning from the Angel's Gift Tavern, Keqing went to the Knights Templar again. She thought she would have a chance to visit Jean.

However, he was told by the guard that Captain Qin was not there. When he asked the guard where Qin had gone, the guard touched his head and said he didn't know either.

After thinking for a while, Keqing, with some apology, asked the maid who was distracted by her words to stay in the hotel while she went out for a walk.

After arriving at the bridgehead of Mondstadt, Keqing looked towards the plain in the distance.

The huge oak tree stands quietly in the distance on the green plain, quietly watching over the Free City.

Looking up at the lush treetops, the branches and leaves of the oak tree were reflected in Qin's blue eyes, and the light in her eyes was pious and confused.

"Am I doing the right thing? Lady Vanessa..."

"Jiji?"

There was no response except for a chirping sound.

It turned out that there was a little sparrow on the tree canopy, where Qin was looking.

The little sparrow tilted its head and jumped back and forth, looking curiously at the humans under the tree.

Seeing the cute little round animal, Qin couldn't help but feel calm.

But at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside Qin, who was kneeling on one knee praying.

She turned around and saw Lisa.

Qin stood up slowly, and after a moment of silence, she spoke to Lisa.

"I made a decision."

"I'm going to tell her the truth."

·

Everyone remember to vote for recommendation, woo woo

Chapter 33. Can you really do anything?

Lisa smiled.

"Our Qin is still so brave."

"But... have you ever thought about what if she insists on her own opinion?"

Walking up to Qin, Lisa said, "She is very determined. Once she makes a decision, it is very difficult for her to change her mind. You should know this better than I do."

"I know."

A fallen leaf floated into Qin's palm. She looked at the patterns on the leaf and said, "I just feel that... if I can only maintain the status quo through lies and deception, this is definitely not how I, as Qin, would do it."

"So, you admit it?" Lisa asked.

Qin lowered her head, and her hand holding the leaf trembled nervously, but she soon returned to normal.

She slowly sat down on the ground, looking at the windmill daisies on the green grass not far away, and spoke in a gentle and calm tone.

"When the Grand Master left, he chose me as the acting master. At that time, as the successor to Lady Vanessa's name, I didn't think I had the ability to do so."

"But one night when I was sleeping, I dreamed of some words."

"What?"

Lisa was very interested in Qin's sudden storytelling. She also wanted to know these secrets that only those two people knew, so she sat next to her.

"'Time will never wait until you are ready to pass. As the successor of the family, you should only work hard to improve yourself every day.'"

"That certainly sounds like something she would say," Lisa nodded.

"Yeah." Qin, who was sitting on the grass, raised her hand and gestured a height. "When she said that, it was only this high."

Lisa was very surprised, then smiled and shook her head: "No wonder she is so powerful now. I heard from the patrol team that she can kill the ruins guards in seconds."

"It was her words that strengthened my confidence, and I have been in the position of acting group leader until now."

"Then... why did you tell me that it was you who wanted her to promise to break off the engagement?" Lisa asked.

"Because I am a person named Gunhild, and I will dedicate my life to this gentle land." Qin looked at the leaf in her hand calmly, "and she is the purple star that will surely hang in the starry sky."

Qin's tone made Lisa feel something was wrong. She had previously thought that when Qin said "tell the truth", she meant being honest.

But now it seems that she is going to take another path.

Lisa frowned slightly: "Do you regret it? But, you have made a decision. Even if it's for Mond, you have to keep her."
