Genshin Impact: Learning makes me stronger

Manye wanted to say something, but Beidou raised his hand, indicating that he didn't need to say anything more.

She looked at Wan Ye and patted his shoulder generously: "We are partners, and partners should help each other. Since you have the opportunity to meet your friends again, enjoy this time and don't worry too much about what happens next."

Feeling the care from Big Sister Beidou, Wan Ye felt a warm current in her heart.

After a moment of silence, he said nothing more but nodded heavily.

"Thank you very much, big sister."

After Manye returned to the group, not long after, the Southern Cross Martial Arts Tournament ended successfully with Beidou's announcement.

She regretfully announced to everyone that the first prize could not be redeemed, but at the same time she also announced a new piece of news: in order to compensate for this regret, the Southern Cross Fleet specially allowed the champion to choose one of the precious treasures obtained by the fleet as a reward.

After hearing the news, the contestants were somewhat disappointed, but they were still able to accept the new rewards.

As for the first place, the uncle, he didn't show any expression. It seemed that no matter what the prize was, it was the same to him.

After being asked by everyone, he said that he came here to fight against the strong, he didn't care what the prize was, he just wanted a stronger opponent.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but respect the uncle's martial arts spirit.

Beidou also walked up to him, shook his hand to show his respect, and invited him to join the Southern Cross Fleet to find more adventures and powerful opponents together.

The muscular man pondered for a moment, then smiled generously and accepted Beidou's invitation.

He said to Beidou: "Since I have the opportunity to fight alongside a strong man like you, I will certainly not miss it. From now on, please give me your guidance!"

Beidou also responded with a smile: "Welcome to join the Southern Cross Fleet! We always welcome passionate warriors like you on our ship!"

Amidst applause and cheers, the Southern Cross Fight Tournament officially came to an end.

Although the contestants gained something, the greatest gain was the friendship and respect between each other.

After the game, Su Xun and his group prepared to return to Liyue Harbor. Su Xun wanted to refine Manye's sword so that Kuze Tomoya's consciousness could be stored in it.

Because they were worried that Kuze Tomoya's consciousness would not last too long, everyone used the pocket anchor to teleport directly back to Su Xun's courtyard in Liyue Harbor.

When they returned to the courtyard, except for Manye and Kuze Tomoya who were amazed, the others were already used to it.

"It's up to you from now on." Manye handed Kuze Tomoya's Eye of God and his own sword to Su Xun, and said seriously.

"Don't worry!" Su Xun smiled slightly, looking confident.

For him, who had already mastered the art of refining weapons, it would be a piece of cake for him to refine a sword that could carry consciousness.

As Su Xun entered the room where he worked, Wan Ye's heart couldn't help but hang in the balance.

Seeing this, Hu Tao patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry, Su Xun, since he said he can do it, then he can definitely do it."

Paimeng also nodded and said, "That's right, Su Xun is very powerful, Wan Ye, don't worry."

After listening to what the two said, Wan Ye felt a little more relaxed.

Several people sat down in the yard and waited quietly.

Shen He and Ying prepared some snacks to entertain Manye, but he couldn't eat much.

As time passed slowly, about a quarter of an hour later, a strong elemental fluctuation suddenly came from the studio, and then a dazzling light shot out from the studio, illuminating the entire courtyard through the window.

"This is..." Everyone looked into the studio in surprise.

Su Xun was seen walking out of the studio holding a brand new sword.

The blade of this sword sparkled with a strange light, and the handle was inlaid with a dazzling gem.

"Wow, what a beautiful sword!" Paimon exclaimed.

Manye couldn't help but marvel at it; he could feel the powerful force and spirituality contained in this sword.

Su Xun handed the saber to Wan Ye and said, "I have transferred Tomoya's consciousness into this saber. As for this Eye of God, you should wear it at all times. It is the foundation of Tomoya's consciousness. If you lose it... the consequences may be unpredictable."

Manye nodded seriously, then took the sword and the Eye of God and gently stroked the gem on the hilt.

He could feel a faint consciousness coming from the blade, that was the consciousness of Kuze Tomoya.

"Thank you again, Brother Su Xun. If you need any help in the future, please let me know!" Wan Ye said gratefully.

Su Xun smiled, shook his head, and waved his hand gently, indicating that there was no need to be so polite.

"Hey, why hasn't Kuze Tomoya come out yet?" Paimon asked curiously.

Su Xun explained softly: "Youya's consciousness is still adapting to this new host. It may take some time to recover. When he recovers, he will appear naturally."

After hearing Su Xun's explanation, Wan Ye nodded. He gripped the hilt of the knife tightly, as if he could feel the presence of his friend.

"Okay, Wan Ye, since you're here, it would be unreasonable not to treat you well. I'll cook today and let's have lunch together." Su Xun said with a smile.

Wan Ye was a little surprised to hear Su Xun say this.

"Hehe, Wanye, you're in for a treat. Su Xun is an excellent cook! I feel like no one can cook better than him!" Paimeng said expectantly.

Hearing this, Wan Ye also responded with a smile: "Really? Then I'd be very sorry to refuse, Brother Su Xun."

Then, Su Xun began to get busy preparing dinner.

After a while, one dish after another with delicious appearance, aroma and taste was served on the table.

Everyone sat together, enjoying a delicious lunch. They talked to each other, sharing their stories and experiences. The atmosphere was very harmonious and cheerful laughter broke out from time to time.

Listening to Wan Ye's stories of wandering around, traveling during the day and sleeping on the ground at night, and his free and easy personality that did not care about the cold or the heat, did not seek wealth and honor, and only wished for a peaceful and comfortable world in his heart, everyone was a little surprised and marveled at his tenacity and free attitude towards life.

Manye smiled, as if he had found a long-lost peace in his memories.

And as they communicated at the dinner table, Wan Ye got to know Su Xun better.

He discovered that Su Xun not only had extraordinary attainments in immortal arts, but also had outstanding achievements in cooking, refining, and even playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

This made Wan Ye admire Su Xun even more, and he was also full of curiosity about this friend.
