Genshin Impact, the spear remains.

"What? Can't you understand what we're saying?"

Ahead, the treasure-hunting gang was still verbally provoking Gianna, seemingly finding pleasure in her conflicted state.

Bai Qiyun looked at Gaza's profile; the guy who had been laughing and joking before now had an unusually serious expression.

"I..."

Gianna knew that her daughter couldn't stay in Mondstadt forever, and she also knew how utterly corrupt the people in front of her were. If these guys really wanted to harm her daughter, they could easily have her waiting outside the city for a year.

The nun gritted her teeth silently, but dared not say another word, and could only mumble a few words.

She was very concerned about her daughter's safety, but it was impossible for her to harm the Knights.

She was caught in a dilemma.

"That group of people is really a bunch of scoundrels. It seems I won't be able to shake off my preconceived notions when I see the treasure-hunting group in the future."

In just a few encounters, Bai Qiyun found that the members of the treasure-stealing group were not very good; most of them were illegal and criminal organizations.

He glanced at the people behind him, intending to make his move when the opportunity arose.

"Those people are wicked; they need to be taught a lesson."

"Ah, you're right."

But the one who responded to Paimon was not Ying beside her, but Gaza, who was staring intently at her.

Under Paimon's large eyes, the female knight moved.

Even faster than Bai Qiyun activating his pure water weaponry, the female knight made her move before anyone could react.

A ball of flame ignited in front of her, coiling around her fists and transforming into a pair of flaming gauntlets.

Gaza slammed his right foot down on the ground, crushing the surface beneath him.

"ha!"

He transformed into a burning meteor, hurtling straight toward the group of treasure hunters ahead.

"Salamander's Iron Fist!"

Gaza's right fist struck one of the treasure hunters directly in the abdomen. Even though she held back some of her strength, the blow still made him vomit blood and lose consciousness.

Before the others could react, Gaza's iron fists knocked them all down one by one.

Unlike any of the Eye of God wielders he had ever met before, this was the first time Bai Qiyun had ever seen one fight using his fists as his primary weapons.

Compared to those carrying weapons, Gaza's movements were clearly much more agile and free.

After all, while it's said to be as easy as using one's own hands, it's still not the same as having the same level of control over one's actual hands.

"That's not even a warm-up exercise."

After a few seconds of fighting, the surrounding groups of thieves were all lying on the ground, their fates unknown.

Seeing the people who had just been threatening her lying on the ground so quickly, Gianna was momentarily at a loss for what expression to make.

She naturally recognized the person in front of her; it was Miss Gaza of the Knights of Favonius. Due to her impressive status and strength, she was easily remembered.

But more than the joy of surviving a disaster, she was now afraid that the person in front of her might have overheard what the treasure hunters had said.

"Um... Miss Gaza?"

The nun's timid voice brought Gaza back from the lingering effects of their recent exchange.

The female knight flicked her bangs and turned her head to the side.

"Ah? Sister Giliana, these guys are already in critical condition. We'd better send them back to the church for treatment quickly, or something bad will happen."

Without letting Gianna speak, Gaza gave her a big smile and casually broke off several branches from a thick tree nearby to tie them up.

"Hey, you guys come over here and lend a hand."

Upon hearing this, Gianna was startled.

Could it be that someone nearby overheard her past?

Several young people emerged from the bushes, and she recognized one of them.

"Pastor Barbara!"

Meeting Gianna's surprised gaze, Barbara smiled sheepishly and rushed to the unconscious members of the treasure-hunting group to provide them with temporary emergency treatment.

Seeing so many people emerge from the bushes, Gianna turned ashen-faced.

Doesn't this mean her past has been completely exposed?

However, none of them showed any unusual expression on their faces, just like when they saw the nun.

By the time the patrolling Knights of Favonius arrived, Barbara had almost finished her work.

To avoid Barbara causing a disturbance, the group deliberately entered the city through a less crowded side gate.

"Thank you both for today."

Beneath the statue of the wind god in the square, the priest bowed slightly to Bai Qiyun and Ying with a noble gesture, then turned and entered the church like a nimble rabbit.

Meanwhile, Gaza was busy handing over the prisoners to the Knights and went ahead.

Sister Gianna was in a state of confusion and didn't know what to do, so she hid to the side and disappeared from sight.

The four-person group led by Bai Qiyun were left alone in the square, looking at each other.

"It seems everyone has their own troubles."

Paimon, who said this, was actually the one with the fewest worries among the people present, oh, except for Yandora.

"Indeed, but different types of troubles require different solutions."

Bai Qiyun understood this deeply. He looked at the Mondstadt residents who were still immersed in the atmosphere of the Windflower Festival and sighed.

"Barbara and Miss Gaza's troubles are the troubles of the rich. They could have ignored these things and lived an easy life because of their superior status."

He had seen people of high status and people troubled by worries.

Without exception, these people all have aspirations that lead to troubles. When their aspirations conflict with their status, most people tend to ignore their aspirations in order to pursue a more comfortable life.

However, a small number of people will continue to strive towards their goals, but they will be limited by their abilities.

At this time, as if it were a gift from heaven, external forces would come to their aid.

The most common form of this external force is the so-called "eye of God".

So he often wondered if the Eye of God was a gift from heaven to those who persevere in adversity.

Bai Qiyun touched the colorless Eye of God in his arms and pondered for a moment.

"But Sister Giliana's troubles were the exact opposite of those two. To her, what those two were thinking about was too extravagant, something she wouldn't even dare to dream of. She was already doing her best to hold onto what she had, so how could she possibly covet things that didn't belong to her?"

Perhaps it was the nun's sorrowful expression as she left that touched a chord deep within the young man's heart, for a sigh spread across Bai Qiyun's face.

"And what about you?"

"I?"

Bai Qiyun was taken aback by the girl's sudden question.

The other person's pure eyes came into his view, and for some reason, the hint of inquiry in them made him somewhat afraid to face them.

In his panic, he could only come up with a lame excuse to get by.

"My problem is how to deal with these two guys who can't resist Mora."

"The cook? Who are you talking about!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Paimon flew over, grabbed the boy's hair, and started pulling it haphazardly, making Ying burst into laughter.

Forget it, so be it.

The girl leaned against the railing and gently swung her legs.

------

After parting ways with the church members, it was already noon. After having lunch at the Deer Hunter's, the group headed to the Cat's Tail Tavern.

Unlike the brightly decorated exterior, the tavern's interior remained unchanged, with no alterations made for the upcoming Flower Festival.

Hearing the tavern door being pushed open, Diona, with her keen hearing, twitched her furry ears and looked at the person who had entered.

"Oh, it's you guys. Have you taken care of Barbara's matter?"

Although she had only met them a few times, Diona still had a deep impression of these two guys who had caused quite a stir in Mondstadt.

Since there weren't many people in the bar, she stopped using her cocktail shaker and started chatting with the others about what had just happened.

"With the help of the Knights of Favonius, it's finally over. But is there any way to stop those supporters? Their actions are causing a lot of trouble for the people around them."

Just thinking about the scene of being surrounded by everyone made Bai Qiyun's cheeks tingle.

Upon hearing this, Diona glanced at him.

"How could there be a good way? Those people have never broken any laws or regulations except to support Barbara. How could the Knights possibly target them?"

"That's true."

After exchanging a few words, Bai Qiyun also felt that this matter was like a knot that couldn't be untied no matter what, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

"I'll have an iced coffee, please."

Since they had come to Cat's Tail Tavern, they couldn't leave empty-handed; they had to have something to drink.

"Me too!"

Besides Yandora, the three of them each ordered an iced coffee.

Perhaps because she didn't have to mix drinks, Diona seemed to be in a much better mood when making coffee for the group.

"Speaking of which, weren't you guys having an event at the tavern before? Why didn't I see you today?"

Bai Qiyun found a spot near the bar, took his coffee, and went over.

"Oh, you mean that? Actually, it's a bartending competition organized by Miss Margaret, but it seems like people aren't very interested in participating. There aren't many people competing, but a lot of people are taking the opportunity to drink."

At this, Diona puffed out two puffs of hot air from her nostrils, seemingly disdainful of the adults' pursuit of fine wine, which made Bai Qiyun just laugh it off.

Although he didn't know why the catgirl bartender in front of him hated alcohol so much, he knew that the prevalence of alcohol in Mondstadt was not simply due to people's habits.

In this land of the northern pearl, the wine industry has long been a pillar industry of Mondstadt, so the problem of excessive drinking is naturally difficult for the Knights to control. At most, they can only issue some prohibition orders in key places.

For example, there are regulations prohibiting minors from drinking alcohol and prohibiting drinking before controlling the Wings of Wind. But if it's really about controlling people's drinking habits, let alone whether they can do it, the economic factors alone are enough to make them give up the idea.

Therefore, from multiple perspectives, Diona's anti-alcoholic ideas were destined to be unfulfilled in Mondstadt.

But Bai Qiyun wouldn't point this out, since saying such things wouldn't do him or Diona any good, and there was no need to make people dislike him.

"It's not surprising that not many people participated. After all, bartending skills can't be mastered overnight. Besides, with your signature bartender here, those who originally wanted to participate might have given up when they saw you."

I downed the coffee in front of me in one gulp, the flavor of fallen berries mingling with the coffee as it went down my throat, the lingering aroma lingering in my nasal cavity.

It seems Diona's bartending skills are indeed very high. Even something that has nothing to do with alcohol can be made to such a high quality. No wonder it's a bar that can rival Angel's Gift.

But that's precisely why the second half of his reasoning seems even more plausible.

After all, not every rookie is willing to compete on the same stage as a world champion.

Diona, standing at the bar, wagged her tail and fell into deep thought.

"Hmm... I hadn't thought of that. I'll mention it to Miss Margaret later. But since you're so knowledgeable, why don't you give it a try?"

"ha?"

The catgirl's words made Bai Qiyun's hand tremble, and he almost dropped the cup.

"I have absolutely no experience, how could I possibly mix drinks?"

Forget about mixing drinks, he's barely even drunk alcohol. Last time he went to Angel's Gift for drinks, he had to drag back an astrologer who gets drunk even from drinking juice. It was such a hassle.

"Oh my, you're a cook, and your cooking skills are so good, you must have some things in common with bartending."

Paimon, on the other hand, seemed to enjoy the spectacle and kept urging the boy on with his words.

"Can..."

However, it seems that Bai Qiyun still doesn't want to get involved in this matter, but he can't resist Ying and Paimeng's suggestion to give it a try.

The main reason was that the group came to experience the Wind Flower Festival, and Ying naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity, so she joined in as well.

The two sat side by side in front of the bar, looking just like two elementary school students listening to a teacher's lecture.

Diona buried her head in the cabinet beneath her and rummaged through it to find a bunch of ingredients for making cocktails.

Since these two people are willing to participate in the bartending competition, they are now contestants. According to the rules of the Wind and Flower Festival, she needs to give her score based on their finished products.

But before that, he needed to explain the basic rules to these two guys who knew nothing about bartending.

"The so-called bartending is basically throwing a bunch of ingredients into a glass and then pouring in distilled liquor."

The overly blunt explanation of bartending left Bai Qiyun momentarily stunned.

Although he had never worked in the industry, in his memory, the bartender in the angel's gift didn't mix drinks like that.

The boy's suspicious gaze made Diona uncomfortable, and the fur on her body stood on end.

"Wha...what's wrong? I only talked about the most basic things. As for the more advanced stuff, you won't need it for the time being."

In fact, Diona possesses a natural ability to make drinks that taste good no matter what, so she hasn't learned much from others' mixing methods in terms of actual bartending skills; instead, she relies more on her own research.

This means that most of her methods are only suitable for her own use and cannot be taught to others.

Diona herself is well aware of this.

Seeing that the catgirl was unwilling to speak anymore, Bai Qiyun had no choice but to pick up a pile of outrageous-looking materials in front of him and begin to study them.
