Genshin Impact, the spear remains.

To avoid arousing suspicion, Bai Qiyun continued to examine the wine bottle.

"Hmm, I heard that a batch of wine recently went missing from Lord Diluc's tavern in Mondstadt. Could it be... you, kid!"

His tone was initially indifferent, but gradually turned into an interrogative one, and his fierce appearance was no different from that of a cat catching a mouse.

"Huh? I'm innocent! Look at the label on this bottle, it's so rotten, how could it be recent?"

To clear her name, Wendy directed Bai Qiyun to look at the bottle on the side, where the label had become tattered and worn from being buried underground for so long.

"Look, look."

Wendy pointed to the label, her tone slightly mischievous.

Bai Qiyun had seen that thing long ago, but he hadn't made a fuss about it.

As the saying goes, if you want to find fault, you can always find a reason.

"Hmm? It's not clear, but that might just be you trying to cover something up. If there's nothing wrong, why didn't you protect it properly? Why bury it in a place like this? You must have something to hide. Come on, let's go back."

"Huh? No need, this is clearly a long time ago, how could it be a bottle of wine that Lord Diluc just lost?"

For Wendy, it would be truly shameful to be captured and investigated by the Knights of Favonius.

Although no one else knows why it's embarrassing.

"Fine, since you refuse to cooperate with the investigation, let's just assume you stole the wine and fine you one thousand moras."

In order to impersonate the Knight of Favonius, Bai Qiyun searched his body for a long time and finally found a stack of papers.

He wrote and drew on the ticket, imitating the style of the Knights of Favonius from his memory (he had seen it when he went to the commander's office).

"One...one thousand Mora?!"

Upon hearing the number, Wendy was startled and even slurred her words.

The Cecilia flowers on his head shifted slightly due to his exaggerated movements.

"But even if this wine is brand new, it's only two hundred moras."

"Yes, two hundred Mora were paid to Dawn Winery, and the remainder was the enforcement fee for the Knights of Favonius."

"I...."

Speechless after being countered by Bai Qiyun's theory, Wendy felt extremely uncomfortable, as if she had a fishbone stuck in her throat.

If he hadn't wanted to leave behind a so-called wanted poster, recording his appearance on the walls of Mondstadt, he wouldn't have wasted any more words arguing with this guy and would have run away long ago.

However, given the current situation, it seems that even if one is right, it's impossible to explain oneself now.

Hmph, when he has the chance to meet the higher-ups of the Knights of Favonius next time, he'll definitely give this Liyue Knight a piece of his mind.

But now...

Wendy rolled her bright eyes, seemingly having come up with a good idea, and her heart leaped with joy.

"In that case, how about I make up for it with a song? I'm the best bard in all of Mondstadt, so it's definitely not a bad deal."

Seeing Wendy's hopeful expression, Bai Qiyun didn't know what to say.

What was this guy thinking? He can offset a fine with a performance? Even if he agreed, if he really had to pay the fine...

Who should make up for the principal of Dawn Winery?

Just as Bai Qiyun was about to refuse, Paimon's somewhat mischievous voice suddenly rang out from behind him.

"Hey, you busker, what are you doing here?"

Paimon, with the ribbons trailing behind him, flew between Bai Qiyun and Wendy.

The blonde girl stood silently to one side, holding a few chrysanthemums.

"You two, you're pretty quick."

Seeing the chrysanthemums in Ying's hand, Bai Qiyun took them without hesitation, since he had picked them for her anyway.

"Of course! Don't you know who we are? We're the renowned Honorary Knights duo!"

Hearing Bai Qiyun muttering behind his back, Paimon put his hands on his hips, puffed out his underdeveloped chest, and looked somewhat smug.

However, before she could be smug for long, Ying came over and dragged Paimon back.

She raised her golden eyes and looked at the seemingly unfathomable bard.

A moment later, a sweet voice rang in everyone's ears.

"It's been a few days, Wendy. You haven't finished talking about what happened last time, have you?"

Earlier, after Ying and Paimon were awarded the title of Honorary Knights, they had just stepped out of the Knights' headquarters when they saw this bard wearing a green hat singing for money in the square.

However, no one really paid him any attention; they just went to join in the fun.

But Ying was quite aware that the bard named Wendy in front of her had spent time alone with the monster called Stormterror, so she should be as cautious as possible.

Later, the bard told her the story of the wind demon dragon, but he only told half of it before running away. When they met again today, he still had a smiling face, and he looked like he had been teased quite badly by his companion.

"Last time? Oh, you mean about Dvalin? Well, it's a long story, but before that, did the Knight of Honor and this guy know each other?"

Rather than spreading the story of Dvalin, Venti is now more concerned with whether he can get the Liyue Knight to rescind his fine.

After all, nothing beats a fine, which is far more urgent than a Tvarlin.

"Hmm? You mean him? Of course we know each other."

Following the direction Wendy was pointing, Ying glanced at Bai Qiyun, who was pretending to admire the scenery, before turning her gaze back to Wendy.

"So... is this guy actually...?"

The bard drew out the last syllable, like leaving blank spaces in a poem, wanting the listener to interpret it for themselves.

But Bai Qiyun wasn't buying it; after all, he wasn't anything to be afraid of.

"Of course I'm not a Knight of Favonius. Have you ever seen a Knight of Favonius wearing Liyue clothes?"

Rather than concealing it, Bai Qiyun chose to readily admit it.

After greeting the two, the boy walked towards the windmill chrysanthemum under the big tree, not forgetting why he had come here today.

Watching Bai Qiyun swagger away, Wendy didn't know what to say. She wanted to be angry, but she didn't know where to start.

He could only watch helplessly as the guy in front of him ran away from his sight.

"I...."

Wendy pursed her lips, trying to ease her slightly embarrassed mood.

"By the way, you busker, you still haven't said what you're here for."

Paimon, who always liked to give others nicknames, naturally started calling Wendy by her nickname.

However, Wendy found it difficult to bring up her question.

He couldn't very well reveal that he had gone to the tree to look for wine; that would be too embarrassing.

Getting a ticket from a fake knight is ridiculous enough; if you also reveal your true thoughts, you'll be completely humiliated.

However, even if he didn't say anything, judging from the familiarity between the honored knight in front of him and that man, he should be able to understand most of the situation.

No matter how you look at it, he's really lost face today.
