Time in Liyue is always short. There were no accidents during this year’s Hailantern Festival, and the residents of Liyue Port were able to fully relax and rest.

The old man also returned to Tingyuge after a short break during the Hai Lantern Festival and resumed business.

However, under Bai Qiyun's persuasion and hints, the number of appointments per day was reduced by 20% to prevent the old man from being overworked.

In the end, Beidou still failed to catch up with this year's Hai Lantern Festival. It may be that it encountered conditions overseas and was unable to make it back.

Regarding this matter, Ningguang has already written a letter. Although the content seems to be condolences, the words are full of blame for someone not going home during the New Year, and even pulled out the old man's banner to put pressure on Beidou.

, I don’t know what Beidou’s expression will be like when he receives the letter.

But all this has nothing to do with Bai Qiyun. Now Silver Flash Wind and his party have bid farewell to Liyue Port and embarked on the journey to Mondstadt again.

However, this time everyone did not plan to stay in Mondstadt for a long time. Instead, after helping solve Lisa's problem, they took the road to Xumi and asked Lisa to help write a letter of introduction.

Because Rosalin was traveling with them this time, they rented another carriage. However, because they were not familiar with her, they actually crowded together and Rosalin rode in a carriage alone.

Although the famous witch expressed her willingness to share the ride, neither Ying nor Kujo showed any signs of agreement.

As for Bai Qiyun? It is even more impossible for him as a man to live with a woman he just met.

But don't forget that their food and accommodation were all in the carriage along the way. It would be inappropriate for strangers of the opposite sex to be crowded together.

Fortunately, the journey was very smooth and we arrived at Mondstadt without encountering any obstacles.

Outside Mondstadt, Rosalin took the lead.

"Then I will inform Lisa first and let her prepare in advance."

The woman's departure seemed to have removed a big stone that was weighing on everyone's hearts, and Kujo and his followers all breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, their current strength is only at the captain level, and there is a near-god person following them all the time, so the pressure is still too much.

"Hey, cook, how did you meet that beautiful lady?"

As soon as Rosalind walked away, Paimon, who had been restless, came up to her with a big face and joked.

This is a question that the other two people have always wanted to ask, but because the two carriages are too close to each other, it cannot be hidden from the perception of those close to the gods, so they can only ask it now.

"It's nothing, it's just some ancestral connections. Don't you know, that Miss Rosalin is already over five hundred years old."

"What! He's over five hundred years old! You can't tell from his appearance at all!"

"What's the point? Ms. Gan Yu from Liyue Port is thousands of years old, but she still looks like a twenty-eight-year-old girl."

Bai Qiyun doesn't think age will be a factor that affects appearance for these people.

For example, the two eldest ladies in his team now, although Kujo Sora is still young, but with her status as a tengu, as long as she doesn't mess around, she probably won't be much different from her current appearance in five hundred years.

As for Ying... I don't know how old this guy is now, he just pretends to be young in front of Paimon all day long.

"Ancestor? In other words, Miss Rosalin is related to the Bai family?"

"Ah... almost."

Hearing this, Bai Qiyun grabbed his slightly messy hair.

Maybe the God of Steel is barely his ancestor?

"Um?"

Looking at the panic on the young man's face, even Paimon felt something was wrong.

The little guy held his waist with his hands, as if he wanted to get to the bottom of it.

"Hey, cook, you've been acting weird lately. When you were taking a break, you said you wanted to go to the bathroom, but you were delayed for about half an hour every time. You couldn't be doing something shameful, right?"

"Huh? I'm just a little constipated these days. What are you thinking about?"

"But don't we all eat the same thing? Why are you the only one who is constipated?

"

"Please, you girls are yin in your body, which is different from us men."

Although it was a bit embarrassing to discuss this matter in front of several beautiful girls, Bai Qiyun no longer cared about it at this time.

"Yes...yes."

Hearing this, Paimon, who had no medical knowledge, could only nod his head in understanding.

Seeing that the little guy seemed frightened, Bai Qiyun breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, he did take advantage of the time to go to the toilet to do something that was not visible to people. This little guy's intuition is quite keen.

Ying and Kujo Sora didn't care much about this kind of thing at all, and the two of them had already begun to worry about what they were going to eat tonight.

――――

Just when the people of Silver Flash Wind arrived in Mondstadt, Lisa, who was the target of this action, was still boredly enjoying her afternoon tea in the library of the Knights, completely unable to see the slightest bit of what Rosalin said.

of severe symptoms.

Known as the Rose Witch, she had a pair of amber-like eyes as she looked at the books in her hands with a hint of sleepiness. Her mature and plump figure lay half-tilted and half-slumped on the administrator's chair.

The woman who has not been through human affairs actually has some inexplicable charm of a married woman between her eyebrows.

If the Huzhai Palace were here, it would definitely be called "the most beautiful place in the world."

Suddenly, the communicator in Lisa's hand suddenly lit up, emitting a burst of light and darkness.

This is a gadget brought back from Xumi, which can support long-distance communication within Mondstadt.

In order to keep the library quiet, she usually sets it to silent mode.

However, this thing seems convenient, but it has advantages and disadvantages for her.

After all, once I can contact you at any time, then generally I won’t be able to take a break.

"Who called..."

Lisa yawned, but suddenly shuddered when she saw the name on the communicator clearly.

"master?"

The painful experience of practicing as a child instantly made Lisa's sleepiness disappear from her face, replaced by deep awe.

She quickly connected to the communicator, and the voice from the other end made her even more grateful that she didn't hang up.

"Lisa, my teacher has something to ask you. Come to the mansion in the city."

As the famous Witch of Fire, although Rosalin has not lived in Mondstadt for a long time, she still has her preserved residence in the city.

"Yes, master."

Faced with Master's instructions, Lisa did not dare to show any hesitation.

But she was very curious as to what was worthy of the master's efforts to send her a communication.

"Master, I don't know what happened this time."

"Ahem, it's about you. You'll know when you get here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the communication was instantly cut off.

I don’t know if it was Lisa’s misunderstanding, but she always felt that her master had just behaved...a little awkwardly?

But no matter what, she still had to go over when the master and apprentice met after a long absence.

"Lisa? Are you going out?"

Looking at the woman walking out of the library, Qin's eyes were filled with surprise.

She knew how lazy her best friend could be, and what kind of wind could blow her out of the library.

"Qin? I have to go out for something. Please help me check out the library."

"oh..."

Under Qin's doubtful eyes, Lisa disappeared in front of the Knights' gate.

Not long after, a quaintly decorated mansion appeared in front of Lisa.

She remembered that this place had been her master's residence three hundred years ago, but Rosalin rarely returned to the city to live on weekdays, so it was always vacant.

It was even the second time for her to come here. The last time Lisa visited here was when she was apprentice. It was no longer known how many years ago it was.

Perhaps because people clean it frequently, there is not much dust in front of the mansion.

"Squeak"

Lisa pushed open the heavy door. The hall was brightly lit, and a woman in costume had been waiting here for a long time.

"Lisa, you're here."

"Yes, master."

Lisa closed the door and sat across from Rosalind in the hall.

Rosalin put down the book in her hand. The words about magic on the cover made Lisa pause for a moment.

If she guessed correctly, this book should be about forbidden arts.

"Master, you came to me to discuss forbidden techniques?"
