Genshin Impact: Learning makes me stronger

Between the clouds, there are the mysterious mountains.

The top of the mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist, like a fairyland.

A pool of clear water with lotus flowers swaying beside it.

Under the tall Cuihua tree, two figures sat in the shadow of the tree, chatting leisurely.

A set of exquisite tea sets is displayed on the stone table, and the air is filled with the lingering fragrance of tea.

The man in the brown robe had a calm face and deep eyes.

The man slowly picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then slowly put it down.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he was very satisfied with the taste of the tea.

On the contrary, the young man opposite, dressed in green bard costume, gulped down the tea in one gulp, smacked his lips and said, "Old man, although this tea is good, I still prefer wine. It's a rare opportunity for me to come to Liyue, and you're going to treat me with this?"

Zhongli shook his head slightly, as if he was somewhat helpless about the young man's way of drinking tea, which was like a cow chewing a peony. "Tea and wine both have their own charm. Why be so impatient? Wine can add to the mood, and tea can clear the mind. If you can calm down and taste it, you will experience another world in tea."

"Forget it, I don't have that kind of patience."

Wendy waved his hand and said, "Oh, by the way, I have used the sound of my flute to calm the pain caused by the karma of the Great Sage. Although it cannot cure it, I think it should be able to relieve him for a while."

"In that case, I thank you on behalf of Xiao." Zhongli nodded slightly and smiled faintly.

"Hey, if you want to thank me, remember to treat me to a drink next time. It should be the best wine in Liyue!" Wendy said with a smile, his eyes full of anticipation.

Zhongli smiled helplessly, "Of course I won't treat you unfairly."

After a few jokes, Wendy's expression turned serious: "I sense an ominous aura coming from the Layered Rock Abyss. Old man, aren't you worried?"

Zhongli picked up the teacup, sniffed the tea, and said calmly, "Liyue has its own people to deal with it. The Great Sage who conquers the demons has already gone there, and the Seven Stars of Liyue will also take action."

"You can rest assured, but there are many secrets buried in that layer of rock abyss. If the change this time is related to those things, I'm afraid things are not that simple." Wendy picked up a piece of dessert from the stone table and put it into his mouth, saying vaguely.

“If so, Liyue will be able to resolve it. Liyue has gone through countless storms, and this is just another test.” Zhongli’s tone remained steady.

Wendy patted the debris off her body and stood up. "Then I won't worry too much. After all, I'm just an outsider. I'll leave these matters to you guys to handle."

He waved his hand and turned to leave, but suddenly turned back with a mischievous smile on his face, "But if you need my help, remember to exchange it for the best wine!"

Zhongli nodded slightly and watched Wendy's figure disappear into the clouds.

After a moment, his gaze turned towards the direction of the rock abyss, deep and distant.

There are always undercurrents beneath the calm.

But as he said, Liyue has gone through many ups and downs, and every test only makes this country more resilient.

……

In the sky.

Wendy was flying leisurely, humming a little tune, and her singing voice drifted across the blue sky with the flowing clouds.

"Hmm... should I say goodbye to my friends before leaving Liyue?" Wendy thought, stroking his chin.

"I'll have a meal here..."

Thinking of the delicious food Su Xun made, Wendy couldn't help swallowing. The taste was enough to make him salivate just by recalling it.

More than a month ago, he came to Liyue at the invitation of Zhongli to relieve the suffering of the karma of the Great Sage.

Because the karma on Xiao was extremely stubborn, Venti had to spend a lot of energy to suppress it.

He has done this many times over the past few hundred years. Every time he wakes up from his slumber, according to convention, Zhongli either invites him or he takes the initiative to come to Liyue to help this "old friend" lighten some of the burden.

Wendy knows Xiao's pain very well. The torture of having one's soul eroded by karma is not something that ordinary people can endure.

Although he could not completely cure Xiao's karma, at least the music he played could bring Xiao brief peace.

This can be considered as a kind of comfort from him, the God of Wind, to this Yaksha who is burdened with suffering and mission.

After arriving in Liyue, besides helping Xiao, what made him happiest was tasting Su Xun's cooking.

Su Xun is like a magical treasure, who can always use various wonderful combinations of ingredients to create amazing delicacies.

Whether it is the crispy and delicious Huyan grilled fish or the fragrant and mellow pickled pork with preserved vegetables, every dish is like a carnival on the tip of your tongue.

With this in mind, Wendy decided to visit Su Xun again before leaving, not only to say goodbye, but also for the unforgettable food.

Then, he turned lightly in the air and merged into the wind, flying quickly towards Liyue Harbor with anticipation.

It didn't take long.

Liyue Harbor, eating Tiger Rock.

Wendy landed in front of Su Xun's courtyard and knocked on the door gently, but no one answered.

"Um...no one's home?"

He sensed around and found that there was no sign of human presence in the house.

Wendy muttered in disappointment, "Did he go out to play? What a coincidence."

He lingered at the door for a while, scratching his head, feeling a little confused.

Should we wait here for Su Xun and the others to come back, or go back to Mondstadt directly?

Just as Wendy was hesitating, a puzzled voice came from behind him: "Hey, you are... Wendy? You actually came to Liyue?"

Wendy looked back and saw Xiangling carrying a large basket full of fresh ingredients. She was looking at him with curiosity in her eyes.

"It's Xiangling. I'm here to look for Su Xun, but he doesn't seem to be at home." Wendy shrugged helplessly.

The two had known each other at Su Xun's wedding before, but Wendy's identity as the Wind God was not revealed, so Xiangling only thought he was a friend Su Xun met in Mondstadt.

"Oh, so you're here to look for my senior brother." Xiang Ling blinked her big, lively eyes and said with a smile, "Wendy, you may not know this, but my senior brother and his sisters-in-law moved to Feiyunpo last month."

"Su Xun moved?" Wendy opened her eyes wide in surprise, and then showed a hint of regret.

"They moved somewhere else. No wonder there's no one here." He scratched his head and smiled helplessly, "It seems like I came here for nothing."

Xiang Ling looked at Wendy and said with a smile, "Do you have any urgent business to talk to Brother about? If not, you can wait for me to put these ingredients back and then take you to Feiyunpo to find him."

Wendy's eyes lit up. "That's great, Xiangling. Thank you for your help."

"No trouble, let's go." Xiangling shook the basket in her hand and walked towards Wanmin Hall with Wendy.
