Perhaps we should collaborate with Inazuma's Raiden General, or Fontaine's Eclipty, both of whom are geniuses of the same caliber.
As for Chongyun, he wasn't really interested in literature, but Xingqiu had dragged him in as a conscript.
Xingqiu stated without hesitation that Chongyun, as a Taoist priest, should be on site to protect everyone from the demons.
That's true. Chongyun is just like a mosquito coil; sticking it there will repel mosquitoes effectively.
However, Xingqiu only said that; his real purpose was to introduce Chongyun to some new friends.
You can take this opportunity to make more friends with chivalrous people from all walks of life. For example, just now a female warrior from Mondstadt was passing by carrying a bunch of heavy objects.
If the keyword "carrying a bunch of heavy objects" wasn't "Mondstadt Heroine", everyone would immediately suspect Shen He.
Shen He herself wasn't particularly fond of this story, and she wasn't very good at appreciating literature, but since it was written by her junior, she decided to read it.
If it was Shen He who just passed by, Xingqiu might not recognize him, but Chongyun would. So who was the person who just passed by? It's so hard to guess.
Let me first explain Xing Qiu's reason for coming. It's quite simple: he felt that there would be many "masters" in this poetry competition, so he, a literature enthusiast, came to make friends through poetry.
As for whether a 'master' will actually come? Everyone took a look at the list of participants for this competition.
Walnut, Venti, Xingqiu, Chongyun, Xiao, the Traveler, and in Mondstadt there's Noelle, Diona, and Mika—after looking around, there's not a single one who's 'tall'...
Isn't this a gathering of short people? Anyone over 1.6 meters tall in this group is considered a 'tall person'.
Oh, speaking of the contestants from Mondstadt, yes, the heroine Xingqiu just mentioned is actually Noelle.
Although she was invited to participate in the competition, Noelle took the initiative to help others carry heavy objects; she is so kind-hearted.
How compassionate are they? Asking Noelle for help in Mondstadt is considered a life hack.
If there's something you can't handle or don't want to do, asking Noelle to do it is definitely the right thing to do.
If Noelle can't solve it, then go find Jean. This is a life hack for Mondstadt people, and a true Mondstadt native must learn it.
Besides Noelle, Mika and Diona also came from Mondstadt.
Diona is someone everyone knows well, but this is the first time we've met Mika.
Although the little boy looks very young, he is also a formal Knight of Favonius, a surveyor for the guerrilla squad, and Noelle's senior.
In terms of personality, she is somewhat similar to Cole; both are the type who stutter and are shy when talking to strangers.
However, what's most eye-catching about him is actually his ahoge (cowlick) and gloves. His ahoge is eye-catching because the tip has a touch of red, and his gloves are eye-catching because he has the Eye of God embedded in them, making them look like the gloves of a certain generation.

Character Voice - Kurumi: About her appearance description
"Huh? Don't you understand? It's very simple and easy to understand! Let me explain it again. It's just 'whoosh' as you appear, and then 'tap tap' as you go. It's very simple, right?"
Chapter 889 Guessing the Poetry Fan
These two can be considered 'representatives of Mondstadt', but neither of them is very confident in their poetry writing skills, and they hope to learn a thing or two from the Traveler.
Looking for travelers to learn literature? I really don't know how those words are put together.
If you want to learn martial arts from a traveler, we won't argue with you, but have you really thought it through if you want to learn literature from a traveler?
Anyway, the traveler himself was quite confident and said regarding the two's desire to learn: Let's teach together!
As for Diona, the only non-Knight of Favonius in Mondstadt, she was sent to be in charge of bartending. Mondstadt chose to send her out to showcase the deliciousness of Mondstadt's bartending.
Diona thought this was exactly what she wanted. As long as she puts in some random stuff when mixing drinks and makes them taste terrible, the people of Liyue will stop buying Mondstadt drinks.
Wouldn't that destroy Mondstadt's beverage industry? Diona felt like she was a genius kitten—no, not a kitten.
Little did they know that her special ability was that no matter how she mixed drinks, even if she spat into them, the drinks she made would still taste delicious.
This move not only failed to destroy Mondstadt Brewing Company, but also made many Liyue residents love Mondstadt Brewing Company even more.
She didn't exactly destroy Mond Winery; in fact, she made a tremendous contribution to it.
As expected of someone with the surname "Di," he is a major contributor to Mondstadt Winery, just like Diluc.
After introducing the talented contestants, the opening ceremony began, but a strong gust of wind blew so hard that everyone couldn't open their eyes.
Perhaps this is what Hu Tao meant by "clang".
The perspective is on the traveler. When the traveler opens his eyes again, two figures are already standing on the stage. They are Wendy and Kurumi, who seem to have "slipped" onto the stage.
To make a grand entrance, Wendy even used some of her powers, finally whistling as she began reciting her opening poem.
Wendy said, "The wind carried poetry and musical notes to a foreign land."
[Hu Tao continued: "Two fish were swimming underwater, their bellies full."]
Wendy continued: "The wind crystal butterfly donned a golden robe, and the small lamps within the glass glowed brightly."
[Hu Tao continued: "The sparrows carried away the rice, and the forest pigs frantically rooted around in the ground."]
Venti's words were too elegant; he meant that when 'Mondstadt' came to 'Liyue,' the Anemo Crystal Butterfly was dressed in golden (Geo) attire.
The last sentence means that although there aren't many people coming, they can still make you scalp tingle with their awesomeness.
In contrast, Walnut's opening poem lacked any logic and was purely meant to be funny.
This inexplicable opening poem was actually an excuse that Hu Tao had come up with for Xiao. Luckily, Xiao didn't show up and escaped a disaster.
The two looked very serious, but the reader was genuinely puzzled: how did you two manage to hold back your laughter?
He's usually such a cheerful person, so why is he so serious when he's being funny? His seriousness actually makes him even funnier...
More importantly, Wendy was alright, but Hu Tao's tone had changed completely, becoming a kind of emotional, elementary school student reciting a poem, as if she were seriously hosting the event.
This tone of voice did remind Hu Tao of something; it turned out it was recorded around that time!
Hu Tao was shocked. That was a year ago. So the recording back then wasn't entirely about that New Year's story.
Venti said, "Welcome everyone to the poetry festival co-hosted by Liyue and Mondstadt."
[Hu Tao continued: "The full name is—'A Poetry Gathering Between Two Countries'!"]
Although it's called a "handshake and reconciliation meeting," there was no handshake between the two countries, just like there's no wife in a wife cake.
[Hu Tao: "We are the hosts of this event—Hu Tao, the limerick poet of Liyue Alley."]
[Wendy adds: "—Wendy, the drinking poet of the Mondstadt bards."]
This was the entrance they had racked their brains to come up with, making the event feel like a variety show.
To ensure the party—no, to make sure everyone had a great time—Wendy and Walnut prepared three themes. The first theme was—guessing riddles.
The riddles were created by everyone, and the completed riddles were hung on lanterns for Wendy and Walnut to choose from.
After some time, more and more riddles were hung on the lanterns, because in addition to the aforementioned participants, there were also many passersby from Liyue and Mondstadt.
So the traveler began to read the first riddle poem, which read—
"Juanjuan longs for her hometown, Yingying fills the garden with flowers. When a visitor asks why, she replies that she is seeking her dream in the heavens."
The audience doesn't know the answer to this riddle, but they feel that it expresses the author's homesickness.
In Liyue, it's probably the Mondstadt people who feel homesick, right? For Mondstadt people, that's mostly related to the wind.
The viewers who were willing to think made two guesses: one was a 'dandelion' and the other was a 'kite'.
This is because the last line, "Seeking dreams to the heavens," evokes a feeling of soaring into the sky.
But judging from the preceding description, it is not a migratory bird.
Considering the preceding themes of 'homesickness,' 'a garden full of blossoms,' and 'visitors,' everyone felt that dandelion was the most likely candidate.
The light dandelion flies everywhere, so it's reasonable to call it a 'visitor'.
A kite with a broken string may fly around randomly, but it doesn't quite match the image of a garden full of flowers.
The characters in the story also pinpointed the answer to 'dandelion,' clearly indicating that this was indeed a riddle conceived by a Mondstadt person.
Having guessed the first one, it's time for the second. Paimon's assessment of the second riddle is: ["It says on this one... uh, these words are so hard to read..."]
I understand now, this must have been written by Xingqiu!
The audience solved the case immediately; that's what word-of-mouth is all about!
So what did Xingqiu write? Paimon took a long time to understand; it was—
"Square like a pancake, filled with pepper and sesame seeds; each bite goes through your mouth, and the more you eat, the smarter you become."
This seems to be related to food, and many viewers did indeed guess in terms of food, but the more they guessed, the more confused they became. What could make you smarter the more you eat it?
This puzzle is quite difficult; the audience can't figure it out, and neither can Paimon. Xingqiu in the story won't tell everyone the answer, and curiosity is stimulating everyone like ants crawling.
However, they couldn't have guessed it. Not only Xingqiu, but even the Traveler and Paimon couldn't have guessed it. This mystery truly became a mystery.
A relatively intelligent viewer like Xin Hai wasn't misled into guessing about the food; as long as you're not misled, it's not difficult.
Now that we know this was written by Xingqiu, isn't the answer obvious?
'Square' refers to the shape, and 'pepper and sesame' refers to the black dots. Isn't that just a book and words?
This is definitely the correct answer, since Teyvat doesn't have 'Memory Bread'.
It can only be said that this riddle was somewhat misleading, but unfortunately, once everyone knew the poet's identity, it became easier to guess than the previous one. That's the power of opening a box.
