When he was eight years old, Mu Xian was kidnapped by bandits outside Mondstadt. After being brutally beaten by the bandits, Mu Xian eventually escaped.
Despite his severe injuries, Mu Xian walked back to Mondstadt step by step, his heart filled with unprecedented joy.
The injured younger sister will receive care from her parents, and perhaps at this moment, she will experience the true meaning of family affection for the first time.
Back home, Mu Xian felt no warmth. His so-called mother stood before him, her accusations making Mu Xian forget why he had returned to Mondstadt in the first place.
To be the son of a knight and yet be kidnapped by thieves—what a disgrace to the family!
The rain was heavy that day. Mu Xian swung his sword one last time as punishment, and took one last look at the tightly closed family gate in the distance, where the warm, flickering candlelight was reflected in the window.
The candles reminded Mu Xian that today was her long-forgotten birthday, and also made her realize that perhaps she was born in the wrong place.
On his eighth birthday, Mu Xian left this city that did not belong to him. He encountered the band of thieves who had kidnapped him and were planning to escape to Liyue.
Perhaps it was destined that I would be despised by others, being rejected by Mondstadt.
Mu Xian was forced to join them. These people loathed Mu Xian, but they loathed everyone else except themselves.
Here, Mu Xian is still surrounded by malice, but malice surrounds everyone equally.
Mu Xian finally experienced what was called fairness, until six months later when the gang of thieves was besieged and wiped out by the Thousand Rock Army.
In the end, Mu Xian and the thief were arrested and imprisoned. Mu Xian was released six months later.
Because of his identity as a thief, no one in Liyue accepted Mu Xian. Mu Xian, who was almost starving to death on the street, met a girl.
The girl was barefoot and looked just as disheveled as Mu Xian. She handed the meat bun in her hand to Mu Xian.
"I saved you, so you're mine now."
Mu Xian looked at the girl who was several heads taller than him and nodded for some reason.
Every day thereafter, Mu Xian would pull a cart loaded with goods from Liyue Harbor to Mingyun Town, and then back to Liyue Harbor from Mingyun Town.
Sometimes the girl ran ahead, and sometimes she sat in the car listening to Mu Xian tell his story. Occasionally, she would encounter some robbers, but Mu Xian would chase them away.
His swordsmanship training, which he had never neglected, became even more diligent after meeting the girl.
Although he still ate four steamed buns a day, Mu Xian felt very at peace.
The girl's business grew bigger and bigger until one day, she looked at Mu Xian and said what she wanted to say.
“You were a good partner, but someone offered a very good price, so you've essentially been sold off by me.”
As usual, Mu Xian simply nodded. Looking at the girl's indifferent expression, he knew that in her eyes, he was just a commodity she couldn't refuse.
Mu Xian was sold to the Guhua Sect and inexplicably became the senior disciple, inexplicably shouldering the responsibility of reviving Guhua.
But Gu Hua gradually declined, and his fellow disciples secretly left the mountain one by one. In the end, only Mu Xian remained to guard the mountain gate.
On the day of the Lantern Festival, the lanterns floating in the distance reminded Mu Xian of the ancient Hua.
In the past, during the Lantern Festival at Guhua, the teachers would always lead their younger schoolmates to climb to the top of the mountain, one after another, each carrying a lantern.
That year, Mu Xian was fourteen years old. He left the mountain gate of Gu Hua and joined the Southern Cross fleet because it was the fastest way to make money, and it was also the only job that didn't care about his past as a thief.
This was indeed the fastest way to make money. During this period, Mu Xian earned a lot of Mora, but didn't save much.
Mu Xian spent a lot of Mora to help many people in Liyue, just hoping that Liyue could accept him.
Gradually, Liyue seemed to accept Mu Xian. When Mu Xian walked down the street, the people on the street were silent, but no longer spoke coldly to him.
Until that day, the fleet encountered a giant sea monster, whose waves completely destroyed the ships.
The crew members were scattered across the sea, and Mu Xian's determination to save his companions earned him the Water-type Divine Eye.
With the power of the Eye of God, Mu Xian rescued the unconscious crew members and brought them ashore. Captain Beidou, who had been holding on for a long time, also fainted on the shore.
Mu Xian, having exhausted himself, finally found Qian Yanjun. His body was so tired that he fainted, only to be woken up by a basin of cold water.
When Mu Xian woke up, he found himself trapped under the Jade Capital Terrace, surrounded by Liyue people who looked on with even greater disgust than before.
The charges against Mu Xian include sabotaging the Death Star, attempting to kill crew members, and severely injuring the captain, leaving him in a coma. The evidence is merely an accusation from a crew member.
The crew member said he saw the waves destroy the Death Star, and that a water-based divine eye, unlike anything he had ever seen before, appeared in Mu Xian's hand.
Mu Xian looked at the crew members he had rescued, and even though his guesses were full of flaws, not a single one spoke up for him.
Like Mondstadt, it seems that all the malice is directed at her.
Looking up at the familiar girl on the Jade Capital Platform, the girl from back then has become a young woman.
Mu Xian believed that the girl would make a fair judgment.
At the very least, they will wait for Captain Beidou to wake up and investigate the matter thoroughly.
That's how it should be, but when she revealed that she was being forced to confess to her crimes, I knew that things weren't as I had imagined.
The girl, his fellow apprentices, and his former crew members all glared at him angrily; the so-called trust did not exist in their eyes.
Mu Xian laughed, realizing how ridiculous he had been, and in his laughter, he wanted to say goodbye to his former self.
Perhaps out of anger, or perhaps out of grievance, Mu Xian forcibly snatched the weapons from the Qianyan Army behind him.
More than a decade of hardship led Mu Xian to confront the crew member who accused him. Enraged, Mu Xian wanted to stab the despicable man to death with a single shot.
But the purple-haired girl stood in front of him, and a chilling arrow pierced his right shoulder.
Before being taken back to the cell, Mu Xian saw the crew member's triumphant smile.
He returned to the prison where he used to be held, and Mu Xian thought about it for a long time.
Mondstadt or Liyue, neither is suitable for me.
The vanished Eye of God reappeared, but its light was undoubtedly much dimmer than when it first appeared.
The power of the Eye of God allowed Mu Xian to break through the stone wall, and he found that despicable fellow once again.
With the guy pinned down, Mu Xian arrived at the edge of the cliff.
If this guy hadn't been saved, he would have drowned at sea.
The arrow piercing the air interrupted Mu Xian's plan once again, and the arrow carried Mu Xian as he fell into the Cloud Sea, but the guy was rescued by the people who arrived.
On the verge of death, Mu Xian used the Eye of God to climb to the shore of Jueyun Pavilion. Lying on the beach, Mu Xian encountered a man.
In her hazy state of consciousness, Mu Xian seemed to have made some kind of agreement with the man.
As for what the agreement was, Mu Xian couldn't remember anymore. When he woke up again, he was already in Inazuma.
Half a year as a wanderer, a year as a staff member of the Kamisato family, two years as a general's attendant, and the rest of the time was spent working for that fox.
As the memories gradually faded from her sight, Mu Xian saw the man behind those memories, the one with whom she had made a promise.
Mu Xian asked, "Are you dead too?"
The man smiled, then shook his head: "It's time for you to fulfill your contract."
Chapter 3 The Acting Leader Heads to Liyue
"Go to the library and ask Lisa about how to relieve allergy symptoms."
"The person with the allergy will need Sister Grace's help; she knows how to take care of patients."
"Also, tell Cat Tail Tavern not to let this guy who's allergic to cat fur go in."
...
The tedious tasks made Qin rub her throbbing head, but at least the day's work was finally done.
After leaving the Knights, the dark-skinned, blue-haired man waited outside for a long time.
"Don't worry, I will handle the affairs of the Knights very well while the leader is away."
The man's words brought a rare moment of relief to Jean's tense expression: "Kaiya, I'm entrusting the Mondstadt matter to you."
"I understand." Kaeya smiled and said, "I don't know what you're thinking, Captain. The cooperation with Liyue doesn't require you to go there in person."
Qin pursed her lips and said nothing.
"Alright, alright." Realizing she had misspoke, Kaiya waved her hand. "Remember to come back soon."
"Thank you."
Pushing open the door to her home, Qin found the living room as deserted as ever, but she couldn't help feeling somewhat disappointed.
As if trying to escape the cold, empty hall, Qin quickly went upstairs and then slipped into her room.
Exhaustion left the girl with no time to think about anything else, and she drifted off to sleep after lying down in bed.
In the dream, the Grand Master, who had just returned from the expedition, stepped down from his position, and I officially became the Grand Master of the Knights.
Becoming the team leader brought even more demanding tasks. I buried myself in my work every day, leaving me exhausted and dizzy.
Just as I was about to faint again, a warm cup of tea was slowly placed on the table.
"You must be tired. Leave the rest to me."
The familiar yet distant sound made Qin suddenly raise her head.
The dimly lit room was simply furnished, with a wooden sword without a tip hanging on the windowsill.
"Brother."
Lying back in bed, a rare hint of confusion appeared in his serious tone.
It had been twelve years since her brother left, and Qin could no longer remember what her brother looked like. Only then did she realize that there wasn't a single picture of her brother in the entire house.
But Qin still remembers that her brother came back from outside in a disheveled state, and her mother scolded him severely.
It rained heavily that day, and my brother was punished by our mother to practice swordsmanship in the downpour.
Her brother left, but her sister pulled her father out of the room, her words filled with excitement. Only then did Qin remember that it was her birthday.
The family prepared a very large cake with eight candles on it.
The birthday person is supposed to make a wish. Qin looked at the warm family, and even her mother seemed much gentler.
With her eyes closed, Qin made a wish that warmth would stay in this home forever.
The huge and exquisite cake was quickly devoured, and after the initial warmth, the uneaten cake reminded everyone that there was still someone in the house.
The remaining cake was lit with candles again, and everyone sat down again, waiting for the older brother to return.
Everyone in the family believes that my brother will come back, and it has always been that way.
