"Mr. Bai is really decisive."

Behind the screen in the living room, a familiar figure sat there.

Today is a day off for Bai's Restaurant. On weekdays, everyone would come here to listen to storytelling and chat about home affairs.

It's just that it's still early, and even the commentator Tian Tiezui hasn't arrived yet, someone else has already arrived.

It just so happened that Zhongli heard the lectures given by the Bai family's ancestors and grandsons because he was one step ahead.

As an outsider, he naturally didn't disturb him and just listened to the whole process silently.

"It turns out to be Mr. Zhongli."

From the first meeting, Mr. Bai had the highest respect for this guest of unknown origin.

Although he didn't know the other person's true identity, he had met many immortals who had traveled in the land of Liyue, and the person in front of him had the same aura as those immortals.

Mr. Bai didn't mind letting this gentleman hear what happened just now. Although it was a family matter, it was not something that was off limits.

"I have heard a little about Mr. Bai's education methods, but I wonder if you have noticed that your grandson...little brother Bai seems not to be interested in cooking."

Thinking of Bai Qiyun's expression a few days ago, Zhongli, who never interfered with others, unexpectedly asked Bai Qiyun about his family affairs.

However, Mr. Bai did not answer.

Does he not know the answer? Or maybe he just doesn't want to say it.

Looking across the skyline lined with houses, his eyes drifted to the past ten years ago.

That was a story that he didn't want to mention.

————————————

I didn't care much about it when I stayed at home, but I still wanted to go out and take a look.

Now that he had made his decision, Bai Qiyun stopped delaying and packed up his luggage in the yard without stopping.

However, some uninvited guest broke in and was causing trouble.

After pulling the horsetail off his face for the fifth time, Bai Qiyun finally couldn't help it anymore.

"Hall Master Hu, don't you need to promote your family's business today?"

Sitting aside, boredly playing with the horsetail in her hand, the girl put her chin on her hand and looked at the boy listlessly.

"Ah? Forget it. I obviously have good intentions when I come door-to-door to promote business, but they all have such bad faces and bad attitudes."

Yes, just like the expression of the boy now.

The girl named Hu Tao is the contemporary head of the Purity Hall and Mr. Zhongli’s nominal boss.

As for the Hall of Rebirth...it's a place where the dead are traded.

Perhaps feeling that staying like this was a bit boring, Hu Tao jumped up from the haystack on one side and came to Bai Qiyun's side.

The young girl's youthful breath blew onto the young man's face, making him frown.

"Little boss, what are you doing?"

"Why do you still call me little boss? Now is not the time for you to do odd jobs at my house."

He couldn't bear the girl's breath, so Bai Qiyun turned his face away in disgust.

I don’t know what happened to the other party, but he actually wanted to come here to experience life and gain experience, and he actually came to work as a waiter.

It's just that the heat didn't last for a few days before this guy disappeared.

Speaking of which, their family seems to have experienced this kind of thing quite a lot, and from time to time some strange people come to work at their house for some strange reasons.

What kind of white-haired rich woman is she, the granddaughter of a land tycoon?

It made his house a mess.

After thinking wildly for a while, Bai Qiyun brought his thoughts back to the right path.

"I'm going on a long trip recently."

Although it was a somewhat helpless decision, he was actually quite looking forward to it. After all, this was his first time traveling far away, and he was alone.

You must bring mora, medicine, dry food, and self-defense tools. I heard that it is very dangerous outside Liyue Port.

In order to be prepared, he also bought a copy of "Teaching You How to Become a Qualified Traveler in Three Days" from the bookstore.

The author seems to be a person named Alice, but he has never heard of this name before, maybe it is some random author.

"Traveling away? Why~"

Although Hu Tao and Bai Qiyun were not very close acquaintances, Xiang Ling had just left, and another acquaintance was leaving as well.

This situation of acquaintances leaving one after another made her feel a little lonely.

"The old man asked for it, but I can't do anything about it."

Bai Qiyun was sending away walnuts while confirming that there was nothing wrong with the contents of his backpack.

The electric crystal and flame flower stamens... Okay, I've got them all.

Bai Qiyun, who had been busy for a long time, raised his head and looked into the distance, intending to relax his empty brain.

The summer evening breeze carries the fragrance of green grass and blows on the young man's face. It is already getting late, but the setting sun hanging on the horizon cannot stop the young man's sight.

Going straight along the road is the north of Liyue Port.

Bai Qiyun, who grew up in Liyue Port, only remembered that there was an inn named Wangshu along the road. Other than that, he only remembered Qingce Village with his distant relatives.

But it sounded quite far away. Because of the distance, he had not met many of his relatives, and he didn't have a general impression of them.

The hand holding the map was shaking a little, and Bai Qiyun realized that an unknown new world was waiting for him ahead.

But for some reason, there was no trace of panic in his heart, but instead he was extremely excited.

Perhaps, the fact of embarking on the journey itself is more important to him than the purpose of embarking on the journey.

"You said...what is there in the north?"

He stared straight at the north, as if there was something there that he was looking for.

"North? Well, walk along the road, leave Liyue Port, and climb over a large mountain to reach Guiliyuan. It seems that many people once lived there, but now it is deserted."

Hutao clapped his fingers and sorted out the terrain of Liyue for Bai Qiyun like a treasure trove.

"After passing through Guiliyuan, you can see a huge inn - Wangshu Inn. After resting there for a day, you can go to Dihuazhou, which is lush with water and grass and is a good place for fishing. Continue along the river.

In front of us, at the Shimen next to Wuwangpo, our Liyue Qianyan Army is guarding there. If you take the documents that were processed at Liyue Port, they should let you pass."

The girl recalled the experience of accidentally entering the stone gate when she went to Wuwangpo to deal with an incident, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"Documentary? Where are we going? We still need paperwork?"

Although he didn't have it, Bai Qiyun had hardly used it, and it might have been buried in the bottom of the box.

Hearing this, Hutao followed his gaze and looked north together.

"The Bright Crown of the North, Mondstadt."

She hasn't been there much, mainly because her family was worried when she was young. When she got older, she was busy with the business of the Hall of Rebirth, and she didn't have time to go there.

However, she heard that the customs there were completely different from those in Liyue, and there were all kinds of powerful monster adventurers emerging one after another.

The country of wind is indeed fascinating.

"Mond?"

Bai Qiyun has only seen this name in books. It is a country ruled by the earthly ruler, the wind god Barbatos.

A city-state in the name of freedom is not similar to a country that respects contracts.

But on the other hand, everything there was new to him.

"Well, Mondstadt, the country of the wind."
