He had already gone blind as soon as he arrived in Genshin Impact.

But Qin didn't think so. She turned to look at Wu Di beside her, just as she was about to say something.

But I saw Wu Di put his index finger to his lips, as if to keep it a secret for me, because he was really not used to being watched by so many people.

Qin could only nod with a grateful look; this was his choice.

So all I can do is respect him, and let Qin know what kind of person Wu Di is.

Barbara, who was standing to the side, also came to her senses. She opened her mouth slightly and looked at Wu Di with a shocked expression.

Although she was mentally prepared, Wu Di's displayed strength still shocked her.

Chapter 21 Ouch, what are you doing?

"Xiao Di, you waah..."

Just as Barbara was about to ask something, Wu Di reached out and gently covered the girl's mouth.

He made her stop speaking before speaking softly.

"Let's talk about it when we get back; it's not convenient here."

"Uh-huh."

Barbara remembered that Wu Di had said he wasn't used to being noticed by many people.

After thinking it through, the girl nodded and responded, indicating that she understood.

Seeing Barbara nod, Wu Di removed his hand without realizing it.

My actions just now were somewhat ambiguous, and so was Barbara's; neither of them understood the meaning behind their actions.

But Qin, who was standing to the side, saw this and began to think about a possibility...

-

"This is truly astonishing strength. To achieve this level simply by using it casually."

"However, the use of elements is quite crude, but the future is promising."

At this moment, Barbatos, who had been observing the entire process from the sky, commented on the wind element used by Wu Di.

Barbatos arrived in Mondstadt when he heard the bells, intending to act only in case of unforeseen circumstances.

Then he found himself waiting and waiting, until finally he realized that he didn't even need to do anything himself, but he was happy to have some peace and quiet.

"Oh dear, I've really incurred another favor."

Barbatos rubbed his head in distress, pondering how to repay Wu Di, since it's easy to borrow again if you repay a loan.

"Never mind, I'll thank them in person with Dvalin later, but before that..."

"Let's get rid of those sneaky little mice first."

Barbatos narrowed his eyes, his gaze filled with coldness. He was setting his sights on the people of Mondstadt, as if he, the god of wind, didn't exist.

It disappeared the next moment.

——The Ruins of a Thousand Winds

"Phew, finally done! That was a really thrilling battle!"

"Weren't you always at the back of the line?"

Paimon wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead, wearing an expression that said he was happy with his efforts, even though he didn't know what he had done.

He ignored Ying, who was disheveled and looked at him with a death stare.

"Hey."

Paimon tried to get away with it by being cute, but Ying wouldn't let her off so easily.

Just as Paimon was about to explain to her how hard she had just gone through, Kaeya walked over, clapping her hands.

"As expected of an adventurer specially recommended by Catherine, your strength is truly extraordinary. Are you interested in joining the Knights of Favonius?"

"No need, thank you for your kindness, but we don't plan to stay in one country for long. I still have people to find."

Ying declined Kaiya's invitation because her purpose in traveling was to find her blood relatives, which required finding the Wind God.

As for how to meet the Wind God, Ying already has a clue; the next step is to find that person.

"Really? That's a real shame. But I wish you find your family soon."

"Thank you."

Kaeya was genuinely disappointed by Lumine's refusal, given the strength she displayed in the battle against the monsters.

It has already far surpassed the average possessor of the Eye of God, and it seems that it has not yet reached its peak.

The key point is that Kaeya didn't find any Divine Eyes on Luminous. It's amazing that someone can use elemental power without Divine Eyes.

So Kaeya wanted to try and recruit the Knights of Favonius, and if he succeeded...

Then the Knights of Favonius would have one more unit of strength; if not, there's nothing that can be done.

"No monsters escaped; they were all dealt with."

At this moment, Diluc also walked over from the side and joined the conversation between the two.

"Really? That's good. This will make things a bit more stable within Mondstadt."

Kaiya shook her sore arms and stretched.

"Hmm—ah, I really want to go back and have a drink."

Then Kaeya seemed to remember something, put his hand on Diluc's shoulder, and said with a pleasant smile.

"We've won a great battle, isn't Grandpa Lu going to do something special? Like treat the brothers to a drink or something?"

"Hmph, my willingness to help is my way of showing my support."

Diluc simply swept Kaeya's hand away and then left.

Anyway, the monsters have been dealt with, so there's nothing more for me to do.

"Hey, hey, don't be so heartless. You can invite me too."

Kaiya followed him like a leech, then revealed his true purpose.

Ying and Paimon saw this and secretly laughed behind their backs.

But Diluc suddenly stopped, catching Kaeya off guard and causing him to crash into him.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"The direction of Mondstadt......."

"Ok?"

Kaeya heard Diluc's voice and looked in the direction of Mondstadt, where a familiar scene appeared.

The towering tornado appeared before our eyes, then transformed into a fire tornado, and then vanished again.

The two of them stared in disbelief, a question constantly flashing through their minds.

What happened again?!

Ying and Paimon naturally saw this scene as well, and the two stared at each other in disbelief.

"The Knights of Favonius, assemble!"

The experienced Kaiya was the first to react. He loudly summoned everyone, and those around him went through a fierce battle.

Although they were a little tired, they quickly gathered together.

"All mounts! Destination! Back to Mondstadt!"

All the soldiers quickly mounted their horses, and Ying naturally had one as well, which Kaiya had lent her.

And so, the knightly order quickly headed towards Mondstadt.

Understanding the situation, Diluc and Kaeya prayed silently, hoping it wasn't an attack launched by Wu Di against Mondstadt.

With a sense of urgency, they hurried towards Mondstadt, shortening what would normally be a two-and-a-half-hour journey to just one hour.

When they arrived outside the city, the two hurried travelers were shocked by what they saw.

The once lush grasslands and forests have now turned to ashes and disappeared, leaving behind scorched marks everywhere, covering a wide area.

It was as if monsters were attacking the city.

Ok?

Kaiya seized on that fleeting thought.

The monsters gathered at the Ruins of a Thousand Winds are bait, intended to lure the enemy away and weaken the Mondstadt defenders.

Then let the monsters gathered in other places attack the city.

The more I thought about it, the more chills ran down my spine. If it weren't for Wu Di's existence, would Mondstadt have already been breached?

Wait, no, Lord Wind God has already awakened. Could it be that he was the one who set off the tornado earlier?

However, the familiarity he felt with that towering tornado clearly told Kaiya that this was Wu Difang's doing.

(Oh dear, this is really a headache, I'm just going to accept this favor from them.)

Kaiya rubbed his head helplessly, but this also gave him a signal that Wu Di was indeed on good terms with them.

Diluc glanced at the troubled Kaeya, said nothing, and instead urged his horse toward the city gate.

Although he didn't want to agree, everything in front of him was telling Diluc.

Kaiya's approach was correct, and befriending Wu Di was the right choice.

Chapter 22 We are the best of friends

"The knights who went to slay the monsters are back! Open the door!"

The door slowly opened, allowing Kaiya and the others to enter.

The news that the knights who were fighting the monsters were safe and sound had reached Jean's ears.
