Genshin Impact, the spear remains.

After the Chamber of Commerce incident was resolved, it wasn't Yura, who was drowning her sorrows in alcohol, who came to express her gratitude, but rather the smiling cavalry captain.

Just as Ying and Paimon decided to have a big meal at the Deer Hunters, Kaiya found Bai Qiyun with the reward for resolving the incident.

The two stood by the fountain in the square, watching the bustling crowds at the Deer Hunter restaurant.

"Brother Bai, thank you very much for this."

Seeing the card that Kaiya handed over with a smile, Bai Qiyun hesitated for a moment before accepting it.

If his relationship with the Knights can be measured in terms of Mora, then it's not necessarily a bad thing; at least it's clearly defined.

"It's nothing, just helping Amber out."

Recalling the Chamber of Commerce incident, Bai Qiyun felt that the whole thing was strange and full of loopholes.

Most importantly, it is crucial to understand where the power of Tolmas's legacy comes from.

Combining this with the previous incident at the amusement park tower and the guardians of those ruins emitting blue light even earlier, a name suddenly appeared in the boy's mind.

The Whirlwind Demon Society.

"More than these matters, Mr. Kaeya should perhaps be concerned about whether any foreign forces have infiltrated Mondstadt recently."

Upon hearing this, Kaiya raised an eyebrow, revealing a rather interested expression.

"Oh? If that's what you're saying, Brother Bai, does it mean you've found some clues?"

The existence of the legacy was already known to Diluc, so it wasn't a secret among the higher-ups in Mondstadt. Bai Qiyun then revealed all his conjectures and what he had seen and heard in Liyue.

Sure enough, after hearing his words, Kaeya, who had been laughing and joking, instantly became serious.

"So that's how it is. No wonder we couldn't detect anything unusual in the Chamber of Commerce. It turns out it's something we've never heard of before."

Kaiya nodded thoughtfully.

"However, I think Abedo can solve this problem, so it's not a big problem. Thank you anyway, Brother Bai, this information is very important."

Kaeya had considerable faith in the abilities of the Knights' chief alchemist.

If there are means to detect it, then it can definitely be detected.

His current concern is how to implement this testing method and how to handle subsequent events.

And that organization called the Whirlwind Demon Society, it seems we should also make more preparations for them.

"Um, Mr. Kaiya, I have a favor to ask."

The boy's voice beside him pulled Kaiya back to reality from his reverie.

"A request that seems unreasonable? No problem, just say the word if you can help."

Having worked together several times, even the naturally suspicious Kaiya had complete trust in the boy in front of him and did not feel that the other party was making any excessive demands.

"Could you give me the raw materials and the surplus defective goods from that factory?"

That's right, Bai Qiyun had his eye on the power that could be absorbed by the inheritance he possessed. If he could absorb it all, although the improvement wouldn't be very significant, even a small amount would still be beneficial.

"Those things? Of course, no problem, we don't need them anyway."

Kaiya waved his hand dismissively. To him, those things were of no use other than serving as evidence and for Abedo to study.

He kept a few as samples and gave the rest to Bai Qiyun.

"Thank you very much."

Just like when she left, Mona was still holed up in her room working on her manuscript.

Only when he smelled the aroma of food did the hungry astrologer peek out from the room.

Perhaps due to excessive exertion, Bai Qiyun noticed that the guy had two large dark circles under his eyes.

Mona seemed perfectly normal when she left the restaurant.

Could it be because I've been spending too much energy rushing to meet deadlines lately?

"Have you been working too hard lately? Did something trigger you?"

Seeing Mona wolfing down her rice, Bai Qiyun handed her a glass of water.

Mona, who had choked on her food, quickly drank some water and felt as if she had come back to life.

"Phew, I almost choked on my rice. This is a future that even astrology couldn't have predicted."

Mona put down her water glass and glared at the boy in front of her.

"You guys make hundreds of thousands of Mora just by going out once. I have to work hard, otherwise my meager wallet will have no income."

Halfway through her sentence, Mona felt something stick to the corner of her mouth. She wiped it with her right hand, and a crystal-clear grain of rice appeared in her hand.

Mona felt a little embarrassed when she thought about how she had rice grains stuck to her lips when she spoke so confidently.

"You're right, we did gain something from this trip."

Bai Qiyun took out the bank cards that Kaiya had given to the group.

The card was made of metal, entirely crimson, and entwined with a mysterious elemental force, presumably used for identification.

Before he could examine it for long, Mona came up and snatched the card away menacingly.

"You guys went out and made some more money?!"

She looked like she was about to eat the card, and her voice was filled with grief and indignation.

Seeing this, Bai Qiyun could only step forward like a senior in life, pat the girl on the shoulder, and slowly speak.

"I'm pretty sure now that you can't get rich just by working hard."

Perhaps triggered by the boy's words, Mona, who was holding the card, suddenly went berserk.

"Aaaaaah! My Mora!"

The astrologer's screams echoed in the room, drifting away on the breeze.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

The following day, with the Knights' preparations, Bai Qiyun received the things he had asked Kaiya to organize the day before at the door.

Piles of goods were placed in the yard behind the house, one by one being drained of power by the 'crown' in his hand, and finally disappeared from the world.

Of course, besides the pile of "contaminated" goods, there was something else that Bai Qiyun cared about most: the raw materials used to make the goods.

A pile of purplish-black powder was packaged by the Knights of Favonius and placed in the most conspicuous place. According to the workers in the factory, this was the "additional ingredient" that they later added to replace other raw materials.

He sensed a strong power of heritage from that thing, similar to the feeling he had experienced from the relic guardian that emitted a ghostly blue light.

All signs indicate that this thing is definitely related to the organization that the man in gray belongs to.

"The Whirlwind Demon Society..."

Bai Qiyun calmed down, thinking about his future course of action while using the 'crown' in his hand to draw power from the legacy before him.

After absorbing all the power of the legacy before him, Bai Qiyun felt his strength increase once again.

The most obvious change is that he gained another skill from the contract.

Lian Zhen – a shooting star.

As the pivotal star in the Big Dipper, Lian Zhen grants Bai Qiyun the ability to move at high speed.

When enveloping one's entire body in elemental power, one can move as swiftly as a shooting star in the sky.

Of course, this is just a metaphor; it's not the kind of powerful force that can influence celestial bodies.

Even if we assume that such a move could actually achieve that terrifying speed, his body would explode from the intense exertion before he could even activate it.

If the space here weren't so cramped, he would have even wanted to use his newly acquired skills here.

Just as Bai Qiyun was engrossed in studying his newfound power, Paimon and Ying followed him out from a nearby room.

Paimon reached out and touched the remaining debris on the ground, only to find that it seemed no different from ordinary dust.

There was a very powerful fluctuation just now.

Behind him, the blonde girl stared at the boy's back, seemingly trying to figure out what had just happened.

However, even he himself didn't understand it, so Ying naturally couldn't possibly understand the mystery behind it either.

"It's nothing, just some occasional gains."

Bai Qiyun's fingers cracked as he clenched his fist, and he refocused his attention on the group's upcoming itinerary.

With a casual wave of his hand, a stream of water appeared out of thin air, turning the messy ground into a clean and tidy mess.

Upon seeing this, a hint of surprise crept into the girl's eyes.

It should be noted that the boy in front of her was unable to wield elemental power when he was not in a state of being armed with pure water.

"It seems that with the increase in the power of the legacy, I can directly mobilize Yandora's power. Although it's not much, it should be enough to handle daily life."

Yandora, hiding in her backpack, yawned. Just a moment ago, a strange feeling suddenly rose in her heart, and then a bit of strength was drained from her body.

Although faint, it did flow to the other side along the contract.

This means that the contract between her and Bai Qiyun has become increasingly tight.

"Compared to that, is Mona still cooped up in her room?"

It would have been better if we hadn't mentioned it, but just thinking about Mona's strange and mysterious appearance earlier filled Ying's face with helplessness.

She spread her hands towards the boy in front of her.

"Anyway, he went back to work on his manuscript after breakfast. He must have been triggered by something."

Perhaps it was Bai Qiyun's words yesterday that shattered Mona's dream of getting rich through working, because now that girl has become completely self-destructive.

From this perspective, he himself is the culprit behind this whole thing.

Meeting Ying's somewhat reproachful gaze, Bai Qiyun felt that he was being wronged.

"Hey, I'm just stating the facts. Kids have to grow up eventually."

"It's like children learning that Santa Claus doesn't exist?"

"What Santa Claus?"

Bai Qiyun scratched his head as he heard another incomprehensible word from Ying.

But that's not the point. The point is that the Windflower Festival is already coming to an end, and Mona hasn't come out to play even once. She'll probably go back crying later.

The thought of that scene made Bai Qiyun feel extremely troubled.

Forget it, let's try to drag that guy out of the house before something like that happens.

Under the watchful eyes of Paimon and Ying, Bai Qiyun walked out of the courtyard.

The streets were bustling with people, but perhaps because it was still during the Flower Festival, people did not seem to be in a hurry.

Just as dawn broke over Mondstadt, the boy arrived at the deserted Adventurers' Guild, where Miss Catherine was already standing with a smile on her face.

"Mr. Bai, how can I help you?"

The woman's voice was as gentle as ever, making Bai Qiyun feel as if he were bathed in a spring breeze.

"Miss Catherine, do you have any suitable requests for me recently, preferably those involving an astrologer?"

"An astrologer?"

Upon hearing this, Catherine shook her head helplessly.

The person in front of me didn't seem to know much about Mondstadt's customs, otherwise they wouldn't have asked such a question.

"Mr. Bai, you may not know this, but during the Wind Flower Festival, people do everything themselves, so the Adventurers' Guild receives far fewer commissions than usual. Even when they do, it's usually for things they simply can't do themselves."

Halfway through her sentence, Catherine seemed to suddenly remember something, pulled out a form from the cabinet, and began to examine it.

A moment later, the receptionist slowly raised her head from the form.

"While there may not be a demand from astrologers, there is indeed a request here. I wonder if Mr. Bai would be willing to accept it."

After saying that, she handed the request form in her hand to the boy in front of her.

"Two Cecilia flowers, ten dandelions, and five windmill chrysanthemums... Looks like a gathering quest. The client is... Miss Gloria?"

Although they had never spoken, he still knew the name of the blind girl who sat under the windmill all day.

It was this client, Gloria.

"It seems you've heard about Miss Gloria, Mr. Bai. That's right. Because she's blind, she needs help on this special day. Would you be willing to accept this request?"

Seeing Catherine's sincere expression, Bai Qiyun accepted the commission without much hesitation and then went home to knock on someone's door.

"Hey, Mona, there's a request that needs your help."

The boy's shouts echoed in the not-so-spacious room, but there was no response.

"There's a reward."

The next second, the tightly closed door suddenly opened, and Mona, wearing pajamas, ran out of the room with her cheeks puffed out.

Because of the speed of her movements, Mona's clothes were lifted up.

"Hey, clothes."

It wasn't until the boy reminded her that she came to her senses and straightened her clothes.

"Alright, let's go."

Seeing the astrologer with his hands on his hips and looking very interested, Bai Qiyun helplessly covered his forehead.

"You're really planning to go out dressed like this? At least change your clothes."

Upon hearing this, Mona realized that she was still wearing frog pajamas.

If he goes out like this, I bet tomorrow there will be strange rumors circulating in Mondstadt that "a frog that can do astronomy is wandering around the city."

Just thinking about that scene made a blush creep up the girl's cheeks.

For some reason, Mona, enraged and embarrassed, grabbed a cushion from the sofa and threw it at the boy who was standing there dumbfounded.

Suddenly hit in the face by a cushion, Bai Qiyun looked confused and could only look at Paimon and Ying, who had been watching the show.

To his surprise, both of them turned their heads to look at him.

"It's all your fault." x2

The two utterly disloyal individuals spoke in unison, making the already awkward situation even more chaotic.

Faced with this, Bai Qiyun could only scratch his head, look at Mona's retreating figure as she shrank into the room, and sigh helplessly.

If we're talking about who's to blame, no matter how you look at it... it's Mona's fault.

I love Genshin Impact, the spear remains Genshin Impact, the spear remains Genshin Impact.
