Reading poems from Teyvat

Keqing said in her heart.

But she still reached out and snatched the bouquet from the boy's hand. Just as she was about to close the door, she heard the boy say, "Besides, no matter how good other poems are, they can't replace the meaning of this poem to me."

Keqing was silent for a moment, and finally said, "Slippery tongue."

But at the last moment before closing, she whispered to the boy, "Happy Wind Flower Festival."

Then she closed the door, put the flowers in her hand to her nose and sniffed them, but she couldn't help shaking her head and whispered to herself: "What a messed up festival..."

It’s not just tradition that’s messed up.

My life is a mess too.

But after this festival, the boy will also set off for the wind dragon ruins.

By the time……

Will he go back to Liyue with me then?

Thinking of the boy's casual personality, Keqing couldn't help but doubt.

……

After the Wind Flower Festival, the decision made by Qin was indeed in line with the lady's speculation. After all, in this situation, she did not have much choice. She could only let Youla accompany and escort Shen Zhigui and his party. Although Youla was very confused about why these people wanted to go to the Wind Dragon Ruins, for now she could only accompany, escort and observe them silently.

Originally, in Shen Zhigui's impression, this guerrilla leader who was born into an old noble family in Mondstadt always emphasized words like "aristocracy", "etiquette" and "grudge" in her speech in the game. But now it is not clear whether it is because the significance of diplomatic exchanges with Liyue is too important, so she has to maintain a businesslike attitude, or because she is just like this. In short, when she speaks normally, it is easy for people to like her.

After all, this is a genuine beautiful girl.

You can even remove the word "少".

Although it seems a little greasy...

Shen Zhigui pondered the words in his heart.

But seeing that the Knights of Favonius had arranged their personnel, Shen Zhigui and Wendy notified Xiao, who had arrived in Mondstadt but had not formally met him, through the sound of the flute, and asked him to secretly rush to the Wind Dragon Ruins as well. After that, the few of them did not delay their journey any further, but quickly finalized the plan, and then headed towards the Wind Dragon Ruins in a mighty manner.

Although there are only five people on the surface.

But four of these five people have the eyes of God.

Although the one from Wendy's is a counterfeit product, it's just a glass ball.

But even so, this lineup seems a little too luxurious.

Needless to say, these people are particularly eye-catching just by looking at their appearance.

So after they got together, before they even left the city, they attracted a lot of onlookers. However, after seeing the weirdo Shen Zhigui among them - meaning he didn't have the Eye of God - and the old aristocrat Youla, everyone's attitude became a little strange, as if they were keeping their distance.

However, these people are not the kind of people who care about such a small matter.

So they left the city very quickly, and quickly put the things in the city behind them, and just headed towards the Wind Dragon Ruins. When they got outside the Wind Dragon Ruins, they encountered a barrier formed by strong winds. Eula said, "Up to here, the rest of the way, whether it is ordinary people or people with God's Eyes, it is actually not easy to continue exploring inside."

Shen Zhigui looked at Wendy.

Wendy took out his harp and began to play, and the strong wind barrier in front of them immediately disappeared into thin air in his music.

Chapter 81: A thousand trees bloom before the dead tree (Part 2)

Eula was stunned for a moment.

As a descendant of the old nobility of Mondstadt, although this identity is hated by the local residents of Mondstadt, to this day, the family name and heritage have not disappeared, and naturally a large amount of historical data and old stories have been left behind. According to the records left by her family, the Wind Dragon Ruins used to be the capital of the High Tower King, the God of the Fierce Winds. These gale barriers were originally created by Him. Even though the High Tower King has fallen, the remaining power of the Demon God will not retreat with their demise. Why can this self-proclaimed number one bard in Mondstadt do such a thing?

Even if he possesses the God's Eye of Wind, isn't it too unbelievable?

Eula looked at the bard suspiciously.

But the bard actually said to the boy who seemed to be from Liyue: "Come to think of it, Xiaogui, even without me, you can still do it, right? Use the move 'Cinnabar disappears without a trace when it sees fire'."

Eula's eyes suddenly became more suspicious:

How can it be?

He doesn't even have the Eye of God.

But the boy actually nodded.

However, the two people seemed to be just chatting, and the bard had no intention of verifying the authenticity of this statement. Along the way, he kept plucking the harp in his hand, and the wind barrier in front of him dissipated into thin air with the sound of the music he played. However, the later it was, the longer it took him to eliminate the wind barrier, so Eula could only think that he was almost exhausted.

That night, several people started a bonfire. As usual, they left people to keep watch. However, the composition of these people was too complicated, so they always left only two people to keep watch, probably one person from Mondstadt and one person from Liyue. Under normal circumstances, there would be no trouble. If it was Shen Zhigui or Wendy who kept watch, they could even hear beautiful music. If the two of them kept watch together, they could even hear their ensemble -

Although Eula did wonder whether these two people were doing a good job of keeping watch.

However, these people are essentially not ordinary people who are powerless. Even for a workaholic like Keqing, it doesn’t matter if they don’t sleep. The so-called night watch is just to guard against some unexpected situations.

Today it was Eula and Keqing's turn to guard the second half of the night.

In fact, Eula has always been a little curious about Yuheng Star, one of the Seven Stars of Liyue. After all, both of them are children of famous families. Although these two "famous families", one is respected by everyone in Liyue, and the other is hated by everyone in Mondstadt, the treatment is as different as heaven and earth. Not to mention that Eula's teacher is Amber's grandfather from Liyue. Although he suddenly left the Knights Templar three years ago and his whereabouts are still unknown, Eula believes that her teacher must have a reason.

So sometimes when Eula faces this girl, she feels like she is looking in the mirror:

It's not that she is dissatisfied with her current life, but she does not like the situation where no matter what she does, people in Mondstadt will look at her with tinted glasses. So, sometimes, she wonders if her life will be different if she changes her situation. Will she be able to question the gods openly like the girl in front of her, instead of always using the excuse of "holding a grudge" to cover up her true thoughts?

Although such thoughts are nothing but unnecessary worries.

Because there are no two identical leaves in the world.

But she was still curious about the Yuheng Star in front of her, and she wanted to chat with this girl during the long night. Even if she couldn't get closer, at least she could pass the time. She was not like those two bards who could play the flute or the harp all night long without getting bored.

But she does know how to blow the bone whistle.

But just as she was about to speak, a sharp arrow suddenly shot over from a distance. The two of them immediately became alert and looked at each other:

The Wind Dragon Ruins are filled with strong wind barriers. Did the other party follow them deep into here?

However, when Keqing looked over, her eyes suddenly widened:

It was a tall figure, covered with a long tattered cloth, holding a crossbow in one hand and a huge sickle in the other. The sickle was so special that Keqing quickly thought of a case she had investigated before. According to witnesses, the murderer who committed serial killings was holding such a sickle and wandered around various countries in Teyvat. He even committed heinous crimes right before her eyes. Since then, that case has become a thorn in her side, and she has never forgotten it.

Now the murderer actually appears here?

A raging rage suddenly flashed in Keqing's eyes.

Although she soon realized that this was a bit too coincidental.

But soon, the figure let out a creepy laugh and shot an arrow towards them. So Keqing didn't think any more and immediately condensed a wedge of lightning and shot it towards the direction of the man. Then, with a flash of her body, she appeared in the direction of the lightning wedge and chased after the figure at a very fast speed.

But the figure quickly fled into the distance.

"Wait! Miss Keqing!"

Eula shouted immediately, but it was too late to stop her.

So she could only wake up the remaining few people, and Shen Zhigui woke up quickly. After hearing Youla's description of the previous scene, he chased in the direction where the girl disappeared. Then Youla and the remaining two people also chased after her, but Keqing was too fast and they couldn't catch up at all. Instead, Youla saw the traces left by an enemy she had been tracking for a long time at a fork in the road. She stood there hesitant for a moment, and Shen Zhigui also stopped, but exchanged glances with the bard, and then he said, "Split into two groups."

Of course, Eula had no choice but to agree.

"Then Shen He and I will take this route..."

The young man pointed to the fork in the road that Eula originally wanted to take, so Eula immediately said, "I'll take this one too."

Anyway, Eula subconsciously didn't think that Shen Zhigui would be of any use. If they encountered any dangerous situation next time, both sides would have two holders of the Eye of God, so it was reasonable for Eula to make this choice.

Although she didn't notice it at this time, according to common sense, Shen Zhigui could not catch up with their speed.

And this is obviously not the right time to say anything more.

Shen Zhigui just looked at Wendy, each of them tapped the flute in their hands, and then started to track separately.

Chapter 82: Behind the dead tree, all the trees will bloom (Part 2)

Of course, Eula still remembered her duties.

She just wanted to find the Yuheng Star and track down the enemy's whereabouts at the same time.

But as she continued to track, she found that the traces left by the enemies quickly disappeared, as if she had been led here on purpose. Soon she discovered that this was indeed a conspiracy, because the three of them were trapped in a place surrounded by wind barriers and traps on all sides.

"Damn it! Who is it?"

"Fools."

Shen Zhigui just said it casually.

"But Miss Keqing..."

"Since there is a trap for you, there must be a conspiracy against her as well."

Shen Zhigui continued.

"But what is it?"

"To create a diplomatic dispute?"

"You seem to have known something from the beginning?"

When Eula heard the boy say that, she immediately looked at him suspiciously.

"It's just speculation."

"Then why didn't you tell us this speculation earlier?"

"Because you don't want to get into a diplomatic dispute with the Fatui at this time, right?"

Shen Zhigui just spoke casually. Just as Youla was about to continue asking, she heard the young man gesture to her, signaling her not to speak. Then he pricked up his ears and listened carefully for a moment before saying, "Sure enough, the first target is Lord Yuhengxing?"

"what are you saying?"

Shen Zhigui just shook his head. Then, Youla saw him take out a spear from somewhere and casually swung it at a gale barrier. Youla saw the gale barrier disappear instantly. Then he said to her, "Words are not enough. Let's go and see for ourselves. Anyway, this diplomatic dispute was not initiated by us."

He stepped into the gap he had opened and had apparently determined the location of the Yuheng Star.

Eula immediately took a deep breath:

These two bards were actually not talking nonsense at that time!

He can actually eliminate the wind barrier!

What's wrong with this world?

Is the remaining power of the demon so fragile?

……

The same doubts also appeared in the lady's mind.

Because something that seemed to her to be a sure thing suddenly turned out to be a problem.

She asked the Fatui's men to play the role of the murderer and lure the Jade Star here, intending to kill the girl. Unexpectedly, the young Jade Star actually dodged her attacks several times. So the lady began to unleash her dual elemental powers of ice and fire, trying to launch indiscriminate attacks, leaving the girl, who had been running around like a rat, with no place to hide. But at the critical moment, a green spear swept past, and a violent gust of wind swept over, suppressing her outburst.

"When did the dignified guardian Yasha become a running dog of the Liyue Seven Stars?"

When the lady saw the person coming, she immediately said something sarcastically.

Xiao did not say much, but just silently swung his spear, moved his feet, and attacked the woman at a high speed like a giant eagle. The woman also showed no weakness and completely exploded her strength. Around her, the moisture in the air was swept away by the low temperature, fell on the ground, and condensed into frost and snow, but the blazing flames flowed everywhere like the sun, turning any object splashed into magma. Wind, frost and flames kept erupting alternately. Even though she had hidden far away, Keqing could feel how powerful the elemental power erupted from the warring parties was. The chaotic elements were raging everywhere, even making Keqing feel a little unwell.

Is this... the power of an immortal?

Facing such an outbreak and seeing such a scene, Keqing couldn't help but realize that if the immortals of Liyue were unable to suppress those demons and the Emperor had to take action himself, then if the Emperor really left, and Liyue lacked the help of these immortals, could it really fight against those demons that broke the seal on its own?

Even without mentioning those demons, can humans alone resist the increasingly powerful and aggressive Winter?

Keqing stared blankly at the scene in front of her, thinking.

But soon, the two men were separated.

Xiao is Xiao after all. Even though the lady has the evil eye and can use an extra elemental force, and use and coordinate these two elemental forces in a complementary way, Xiao's combat experience is far better than that of the lady. Although sometimes he has to fight against monsters like the Hilichurls that are contaminated by evil spirits, just like playing chess with a bad chess player will pollute the database, and the more combat experience is not necessarily better, but he has been fighting against opponents of the level of the Demon God for a long time, but the lady often bullies the weak, so even if her elemental power is slightly better than Xiao, this gap is not enough to make Xiao retreat, so Xiao quickly suppressed the tall woman one-sidedly, and the spear in his hand was like a storm, ruthlessly forcing the woman back again and again.

"enough!"

The lady shouted, and ice and fire burst out simultaneously again. Xiao could only avoid the sharp edge, but he knew very well that the person in front of him was just a spent force, and the outburst at this time would only accelerate her weakness.

"Why are you here, Yaksha, the guardian of Liyue? Don't you never leave Liyue?"

Xiao didn't reply, but just silently glanced at Venti behind him.

After all, this matter involved two people who had both helped him.

Needless to say, the young man also explained with the sound of the flute that the person in front of him wanted to stir up conflict between the Seven Stars of Liyue and the immortals, so it was the best choice to deal with her here.

At this time, Shen Zhigui, Shen He and Youla also arrived at the scene. Youla saw that the ruins of the Wind Dragon, which were already in ruins, became even more dilapidated by the aftermath of the battle between the two. There was ice and snow and magma everywhere, and even a thick stone pillar became shaky. She immediately widened her eyes in surprise:

Is this really a picture that humans can create?

"So, ma'am, this Fatui executive wants to kill Yuhengxing in Mondstadt. If possible, he also wants to kill Shenhe, who is suspected to be a disciple of the immortal, to stir up diplomatic disputes and conflicts between the immortals of Liyue and the Seven Stars. Am I right?"
