The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 142: An Old Friend in Liyue

Mondstadt, a gift from an angel.

When Chen Tianfeng finished dealing with Wendy and returned to the second floor of the tavern, he found that the environment on the second floor was a little strange.

The drinkers at two or three tables looked at Ye Lan secretly, their eyes filled with amazement and respect, as if they had witnessed some great war and Ye Lan was the only winner.

But when Ye Lan greeted him with a smile, the looks in the drinkers' eyes turned into envy and hostility for some reason.

"What happened?"

Chen Tianfeng sat down in confusion. If he had not realized that the drinkers' "hostility" was more like "envy", he would have suspected that these Mond people knew that he had "bullied the God of Wind".

"nothing."

Ye Lan smiled, took a new wine glass, filled it for Chen Tianfeng, and pushed it towards him: "Nothing happened."

"..."

Chen Tianfeng looked a little suspicious, but he didn't ask any more questions. He picked up the wine glass, took a sip, thought for a while, and said, "How much do you know about the Mond Dragon Disaster?"

"I only know that the Knights formed an orchestra and played a few songs, and then the East Wind Dragon of Mondstadt came to his senses." Ye Lan shook her head and narrowed her eyes slightly: "Mondstadt is truly worthy of being called the City of Wind and Pastoral Songs. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, who would have thought that a crisis that engulfed half of the country would end in this way."

The righteous knight moved the dragon with his love, and the two fought side by side to defeat the evil tide of magic - it was like a fairy tale.

If the records of Mondstadt in the Liyue texts are correct, then this is not the first time such a thing has happened in Mondstadt. Whenever Mondstadt undergoes a major change, it seems as if there is an invisible hand behind it, guiding the development of the story in a more gentle direction.

——The God of Wind really dotes on His people.

As for the Mondstadt people, it is undeniable that Mondstadt does have many outstanding figures, such as the leader of the Knights Falgar, the acting leader Jean Gunnhildr, and the owner of the Dawn Winery Diluc Leggenfond...

But the people of Mond, especially those who dare not and have never left Mondstadt, are mostly spoiled children who have long lost the ability to survive independently.

Ye Lan took a sip of wine and thought about the topic she discussed with Ningguang.

Ningguang and Jean exchanged letters, and in Jean's letters, she vaguely revealed that she had helped the residents of Mondstadt find lost cats.

It was not a spur of the moment decision, or a chance meeting in spare time, but the man from Mond took the initiative to submit the commission to find the cat to the Knights, and then the commission appeared on Jean's desk.

Simply incredible.

The acting leader of the Knights Templar, the actual person in charge of Mond, actually has to help find the cat.

If it was in Liyue, if someone anxiously approached Qianyan Army and said that his cat was lost, and asked Qianyan Army to put down his work and help him find the cat, or even asked Qianyan Army to report the matter to Tianquan Star and ask Tianquan Star to help find the cat together...

Oh, unless that man is the Rock King in disguise, he must be put in jail to calm down for two days to see if he dares to act so presumptuously again.

The people of Mond have enjoyed peace for too long and have become too "free".

“It’s really amazing.”

Chen Tianfeng thought for a moment and said, "Well, I'll write a report in the next two days, and write down everything I know in as much detail as possible, so that I don't have to explain it verbally and there will be omissions."

"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Chen."

Ye Lan raised her glass and clinked it with Chen Tianfeng's.

The two continued chatting until the drinks were finished, agreed on a return date, paid the bill, and left.

When leaving the pub, Chen Tianfeng saw from the corner of his eye that Charles looked at him with a strange look, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. Chen Tianfeng was slightly puzzled, but he didn't care. He walked into the cool night breeze, letting the wind take away the smell of alcohol, and went straight back to his residence on the second floor.

The next day,

"You said you went to Angel's Gift to see me yesterday?"

Chen Tianfeng raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at Ying and Paimeng in front of him, and finally understood what the subtle strange feeling was when he returned to the tavern last night.

It must be Charles who reported it. This old guy is not honest.

Chen Tianfeng grinned, a little hesitant: "You and Ye Lan..." "Ms. Kafka..."

"..."

"..."

Ying blinked, suddenly realizing what was happening. She put her hands on her hips and puffed up her cheeks: "Is the name Kafka a fake?"

Damn it, he actually used a fake name to trick her!

But does this mean that many of the things said by this "Miss Kafka" are also false?

Ying fell into deep thought.

"...Not only that, Kafka's appearance is also fake." Chen Tianfeng twitched his lips and said, "Ye Lan is very good at disguise. Because of work reasons, she sometimes pretends to be another person to make it easier to act and not leave any evidence."

"So she's very different from 'Kafka'?"

For some reason, Ying's eyes seemed to light up.

"No, except for the eye and hair color, there is probably no difference."

The makeup may also be a little different, but Chen Tianfeng has never understood this aspect and it is difficult for him to say much.

"That's it..."

Ying became inexplicably depressed again, and even sighed softly. Her lips moved and she seemed to mutter something, but it was hard to hear clearly.

Chen Tianfeng looked at her in confusion, not understanding what was wrong with her.

"Phew, it will be fine, it will be fine, I'm still young, still young."

Ying ended her self-hypnosis, raised her eyes to look at Chen Tianfeng, and pursed her lips: "Tianfeng, are you here to say goodbye?"

Last night in the tavern, "Kafka" told her that Chen Tianfeng was the man she had finally managed to snatch as her husband, and she could not bear his soft words and pleading, so she let him come to Mondstadt. Now that the agreed time has come, she will come to Mondstadt to take Chen Tianfeng home as agreed.

——This is of course false.

Not only because it was too easy to be seen through, but also because "Kafka" told several versions of the story of her meeting with Chen Tianfeng, as well as several versions of her relationship with Chen Tianfeng without changing her expression.

The most outrageous thing was that Chen Tianfeng had done her a favor, so she thought about it and decided to repay him with her body. And Chen Tianfeng's favor to her was to pay for the burial of a silver-white wolf cub.

"Well, you figured it out."

Chen Tianfeng scratched his hair and considered his words: "For some reasons, I need to go to Liyue, so..."

"I can go with you."

Before he finished speaking, Ying interrupted him with a serious look in her eyes: "You can tell me the reason, or you can not tell me, but no matter what, I will do my best to help you - we are traveling companions, Tianfeng."

"And Paimon!" The little mascot finally found an opportunity to interrupt and waved his white little arms: "Paimon will help you too!"

"I know I know."

Chen Tianfeng was stunned for a moment, then he chuckled. His dark eyes reflected Ying's figure, and were extremely gentle. "But, Ying, your journey in Mondstadt has just begun. If you leave now, you will miss many wonderful encounters. And don't worry, I'm not taking any risks. It's safe."

"How about this, you continue your journey, and I'll wait for you in Liyue Harbor."

Chen Tianfeng smiled and wanted to touch Ying's hair, but he could only think about it. He said seriously: "Let me be your first old friend in Liyue Port. When we meet again, you can tell me the wonderful stories you encountered during your journey, okay?"

"..."

Ying was silent for a few seconds, then smiled brightly: "Then it's settled, we'll meet in Liyue."
