The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 9: The First Appearance of the Wind God
"Ruojin, since you are from Liyue, do you think it was the Rock God who captured the Traveler's brother?"

"Emperor? Impossible, absolutely impossible. The Emperor would never do such a thing."

When Ruo Jin heard Paimon asking whether the strange god mentioned by Ying might be the Rock King, he denied Paimon's guess without even thinking about it.

"The Emperor has always acted in an upright manner. He would definitely not bother to do such a thing. However, as the oldest of the Seven Gods, he might know some news about Ying's brother."

"Oh, is that so? Then it seems that Liyue is the most suitable place for our next stop."

Paimon flew to Ying and discussed with her whether going to Liyue as the next stop would be the best option. Ying was also planning in her mind whether she should go to Liyue as the next stop.

"I suggest that your next stop is Liyue. The Immortal Invitation Ceremony will be held next month. If you miss this ceremony, you may have to wait until next year to see the Emperor again."

"Paimon, I've decided. After we finish dealing with Mondstadt's affairs, our next stop will be Liyue."

After hearing that if he missed this time he would have to wait a year to see the God of Geo again, Ying, who was unwilling to wait any longer, directly decided that Liyue would be his next stop. Seeing that Ying wanted to go to Liyue as his next stop, Ruo Jin also decided to help Ying.

"It's a wise choice, Ying. I have a pen and paper here. You can try to draw what your brother looks like. Maybe I have seen him before."

Yes, why didn't she think of it? Just saying it out loud could never be as clear as drawing it. Ying's eyes lit up and she took the pen and paper handed over by Ruojin and began to draw her brother. Ruojin discussed with the Ruota Dragon King in his body the possibility that Ying's brother would be stopped by which god.

"Let's rule out Morax first. Morax and I have fought side by side for so many years. I am very familiar with Morax. He was once known as the God of War. If it was really him, this little girl would not have survived."

"It seems that the Emperor also had a bad temper when he was young. Boss Ruota, which god do you think is more likely to take action? Could it be the Thunder General from Inazuma?"

"It shouldn't be her. I do have some guesses about that person, but it's not the right time for you to tell me now. Boy, you should hurry up and become stronger. If it is really that person, knowing too much will hurt you. I may not be able to protect you then."

The Dragon King Ruota changed his usual perfunctory attitude and spoke in a serious tone that stunned Ruo Jin. He and the Dragon King Ruota had known each other for six years, but this was the first time he heard of an existence that the Dragon King Ruota had no confidence to contend with.

Which god could make Boss Ruotu keep silent? Even the King of Rocks wouldn't have such a big face in front of Boss Ruotu, right? Just when Ruo Jin was still thinking about how to trick the answer out of the mouth of the Dragon King Ruotu, the door of the angel's gift was opened.

"Sorry, I'm late. I met a lost kitten on the way. I took some time to send it back to the Cat's Tail Tavern. Who is this?"

"Captain Qin, this is Ruo Jin from Liyue. He helped us get the Sky Harp back. He's a very good man."

Paimon enthusiastically introduced to Qin her Liyue backer Ruojin, and Ruojin nodded at Qin. After hearing that Ruojin was from Liyue, Qin, who was feeling a little tired, gave Ruojin a standard knight's salute.

"Dear guest from afar, welcome to Mondstadt. I am Jean, the acting leader of the Knights of Favonius. Due to some special reasons, if any danger occurs, please cooperate with the Knights of Favonius to seek refuge. May the wind god protect you." "You are Jean, the acting leader of the Knights of Favonius. No problem. If anything really happens, I will definitely cooperate with you."

Upon hearing that the blonde woman in front of him was Jean, the acting leader of the Knights of Favonius, Ruojin couldn't help but look at Jean a few more times. His sister Keqing admired Jean's work attitude and working hours very much. If it weren't for the persuasion of her family, his sister Keqing would probably have followed Jean's example and only slept four hours a day and devoted herself to work every day.

From the faint dark circles and slightly tired eyes of the captain of the Qin band in front of him, Ruo Jin could clearly feel that the acting captain in front of him probably had not had a good rest for a long time.

Perhaps his trip to Mondstadt this time could slightly change the busy status quo of Captain Jean. This way, he would have a reason to persuade Sister Keqing to take a rest in the future. After all, even the Captain Jean whom she admired had plenty of rest time every day, so she should at least take a little more rest.

Thinking of his sister's tired look every time she came home late at night, Ruo Jin touched his chin and pondered the feasibility of this matter. Now he didn't know much about Mondstadt and the Knights of Favonius, so perhaps he had to wait until he understood the general situation before making a judgment.

"Wendy hasn't come yet? Then we can wait for him."

"Captain Qin, you should take a rest. We don't know where that street singer has gone. We clearly told him to wait for us here."

"No, I'm going to give him a good scolding when he comes back, seriously."

Paimon crossed her arms. She was very unhappy about the fact that she and her friends were running around while Wendy was wandering around in Mondstadt. If possible, Paimon would like to teach the street singer a lesson.

"Well, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first. What happens next doesn't seem appropriate for an outsider like me to know."

Ruojin stood up from the bar. From Paimon's few words, he had already guessed what would happen next. If nothing unexpected happened, what they were going to do next should be related to the Sky Harp.

He learned from Boss Rota that the Sky Harp belonged to the wind god Barbatos, so the next thing was likely to be a secret about Mondstadt, and as an outsider, he should not interfere.

"Hey, Ruojin, are you leaving? You won't be with us?"

"Let's just forget about it this time. I came to Mond this time because I have some things to do. If everything goes well, you can ask me for help if you run into any trouble."

When Ruojin opened the door of the tavern, a breeze with the fragrance of apples blew towards her. The gentle wind fluttered on her face, and she felt as if she was under an apple tree. An indescribable sense of ease filled her heart.

"My dear friends who have come from afar, if you have time, why don't we have a drink and chat."
