Genshin Impact: Starting Guide - End of the World Qi Bao

Knowing how terrifying this ability was, the sorcerer Lei Ying immediately went to report to "Lady".

Meanwhile on the other side...

Diluc had just finished settling accounts with Charles.

"Boss, we... want a place that's a little more secluded."

Wendy whispered to Diluc, looking like she was trying to hide something.

If Juexi hadn't been there, she would definitely have complained that this person must have done something bad...

"If we're talking about seclusion, the second floor is less crowded, but aren't you a bard? Why don't you choose a more lively spot?"

"Haha, let's save the paid shows for next time. We're going up now, see you later~"

"Keep an eye on them. That poet is suspicious. I need to go and find out more about him."

"Um...who are you asking?"

"The 'security guards' of Mondstadt."

……

After openly stealing the zither, Jue Xi returned to the tavern.

"Juexi, you're back! How are you? How are you?"

Paimon saw Juexi and said excitedly.

"simple."

After she finished speaking, Juexi stretched out her hand and showed the group the Sky Harp.

"As expected of you, my dear friend."

Wendy, in a flamboyant manner, put away the Sky Harp.

"So, we're going to go find Dvalin next, right?"

Paimon asked.

"That's right, but we'll have to wait a bit longer."

"What are you waiting for?"

Paimon said, puzzled.

Juexi offered a thoughtful explanation.

“Paimon, Wendy is waiting for some help. We can save Stormterror, but we can’t restore Stormterror’s reputation. Although it’s difficult to make the whole city understand Dvalin, we should at least make a few ‘high-ranking’ people understand Dvalin.”

"Wow, as expected of you, Juexi! You understand me so well. I like you more and more."

Wendy was talking nonsense.

"Don't joke around."

"I'm serious."

Wendy looked at Juexi with a mocking expression.

"There's no need for that. I don't like boys."

Jue Xi waved her hand.

"You know, I can be a woman if you like."

Wendy whispered something in Juexi's ear.

"Hey, Wendy, are you serious?!"

Jue Xi was greatly surprised; this couldn't be right.

"Hey~"

"You eh-hey my ass!"

While you're rambling upstairs, here on the first floor of the tavern...

"Lord Diluc, have you seen any suspicious persons today?"

The Favonius Knights, who are searching for the suspect, are asking Diluc if he has seen any suspicious persons.

"What happened? Why were so many people mobilized?"

"Haven't you heard, Lord Diluc? The Sky Harp has been stolen without a trace. I wonder who did it."

"Oh? That's really strange. To be able to do something like that, the person who stole the instrument is no ordinary person."

As Diluc said this, he thought to himself that the Knights of Favonius were indeed not very capable, even losing a harp. However, the two knights did not understand Diluc's sarcasm and continued talking to themselves.

"The Sky Harp is a treasure that the Wind God himself played; such a precious cultural heritage..."

Diluc, who naturally had no liking for these two knights, interrupted.

"Who would be stupid enough to steal something that can't be sold? It would be more worthwhile to steal from my wine cellar."

"..."

"Sorry, the suspicious person seems to have gone that way."

Diluc pointed out a direction and distracted the two.

……

Wendy looked at the wine in front of her with longing.

I want to drink it today~

Diluc stopped the bard when he saw that he was underage.

"Put the wine down. You don't look old enough to drink."

Wendy also stated that she has reached the age where she can drink alcohol.

"You can rest assured, you were still there when I was drinking..."

Jue Xi stepped forward to explain.

"Alright, alright, Venti, Luminous, let me introduce you. This is Diluc, the big boss behind the tavern, and this is Luminous, the hero who helped Mondstadt defeat Stormterror today."

"Oh? Let me explain first. I admire your courage to steal the Sky Harp. This morning, Mu Juexi, you are called Mu Juexi, right? You pulled Ying and refused the Knights' invitation. I admire that even more. Even if you might be a little silly, you are still rare idiots."

"That's a very high compliment, Grandpa Lu."

Did Juexi know that in the story, Diluc said that the Traveler had reached the level of a fool that is rare to see in a thousand years?

"We're not stupid."

Paimon immediately offered a pretext (yes, a pretext).

"So answer my question: why do you want to steal the Sky Harp?"

"Do you really want to know? It could become trouble for the Knights."

"Ha, I'm not afraid of trouble. I myself am trouble for the Knights."

"..."

Wendy told Diluc the story of Dvalin.

"The narrative poem just now... this is an important secret. Why did you let me know this?"

"Why? Ah, perhaps it's because the wind direction is changing."

"He means he needs your help, Grandpa Lu."

I have the two types of people I can't stand the most, and I'll just say it outright: (First, those who tell riddles; second, those who don't want to be riddle tellers.)

"Hmm... Juexi, you really have a wicked mind."

Yingmei smiled and spoke.

“Interesting. Although I don’t know which of you stole the Sky Harp, you are very capable, leaving no trace. However, bard, you went to the church this morning, so you’d better not leave the tavern.”

"It's okay, I like pubs."

"Heh... Well then, we'll meet again here after the tavern closes."

"Great! The Stormterror rescue plan is about to begin."

Paimon spoke with great interest.

Chapter 24 Urgent!

"..."

"Juexi, you're finally here! I've missed you so much!"

Wendy saw everyone talking happily.

"What, is it because Grandpa Lu won't give you wine here?"

Looking at Wendy, Jue Xi joked.

"Huh? It's you guys..."

A blonde woman asked in confusion.

Grandpa Lu appeared and began to introduce them.

"Let me introduce you. This is Jean, who is usually the acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius. But right now, she is just 'Jean,' not Jean as the 'Grand Master.'"

"Eh... I don't understand, Traveler."

Little Paimon was already slow-witted, and now he's getting completely confused by Qinqinqin.

“Little Paimon, what Grandpa Lu means is that the Knights are off duty now, and Jean is here to talk to us as a friend, not as the acting Grand Master.”

Jue Xi began to explain.

"It's a real surprise. Although I had heard about the Sky Harp, I didn't expect it to be you. And I'm so sorry that I couldn't thank you three in person this morning because I was too busy. Mu Juexi, Ying, and Paimon, thank you for being travelers who were able to lend a helping hand to Mondstadt in its time of need."

Qin spoke sincerely.

"Alright, alright, no need for the compliments. Actually, I didn't mean to embarrass your knights this morning. It's just... um... I was hungry this morning, that's why I declined Kaeya's invitation."

Juexi replied to Qin, offering a lame excuse that made Qin laugh.
