Chapter 41 The Conflict Ends
Chapter 41 The Conflict Ends
"To be honest, I took Qiqi with me."
In order to buy time, Barbatos had no choice but to lay his cards on the table.
"Yes, I already knew."
Xun Feng slowly stopped and calmly turned around with a smile.
"Hey, now that you know, you don't need to go looking for her, right?"
"Barbatos, do you know something?"
Xunfeng stared at his big, green eyes with a suspicious look.
After staring at Xun Feng for three seconds, Barbatos couldn't resist Xun Feng's earnest and penetrating gaze, and had no choice but to compromise and prepare to tell him the truth.
"Oh well, there's no other way! Alright, come with me."
Hu Tao sensed that the two of them were about to discuss something important, so she turned around and prepared to leave, giving them enough space.
"Hu Tao! Come with me."
After Xunfeng finished speaking, he grabbed Hu Tao's hand and followed behind Barbatos.
What Xunfeng didn't know was that this was the first time Hu Tao had ever held hands with a living person in her entire life!
Before long, Xunfeng noticed that Hu Tao beside him had blushed as red as an apple.
"Hu Tao, why is your face so red? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Haha, no...it's nothing, I...I...I'm just a little hot, don't worry about me."
After saying that, Hu Tao took a deep breath as she walked, trying to calm herself down.
Xunfeng actually held my hand! How embarrassing! And he even asked me what was wrong? Humph!
However, the fact that Xunfeng didn't ask him to avoid suspicion during his conversation with the gods of Mondstadt shows that I am still very important to Xunfeng!
After walking about fifty steps, Barbatos's braid floated slightly, and at the same time, his eyes emitted a green light.
The next second, a huge wind field was generated next to the big tree in the center of the wind field, propelling Xunfeng and Hutao up the tree.
However, this wind field is mostly for Walnut.
We have no choice but to give face to the God of Light.
"Xunfeng? Never mind, I'll just call you by your divine name. It's a bit awkward to just call you by your name! Heliseg."
"It's nothing, Barbatos, I'm used to the name."
“Alright, Heliseg, I won’t keep you in suspense any longer. Actually, Seven Seven possesses an indescribable power, one that even Morax and I cannot fathom. So…”
"So what?"
“I recently sensed an aura related to Qiqi in the Mondstadt region, so… I brought her near the aura to see if there was any connection between the two.”
"Qiqi has power? I don't feel it at all."
Xunfeng frowned as he carefully recalled Qiqi's daily life.
Eating, sleeping, sunbathing, doing stretching exercises, writing in a diary, picking herbs...
Barbatos helplessly touched his nose and gave an awkward laugh.
"Perhaps your strength hasn't recovered yet, so you can't feel it."
When Hu Tao heard Barbatos's words, her worldview completely collapsed.
"What? Qiqi possesses a power that even two gods cannot fathom? Then I'm... "
Hu Tao recalled with fear the daily routines she used to pretend to scare Qi Qi, and her vision blurred.
"Haha, don't worry, Qiqi is a good girl."
Barbatos waved his hand and continued speaking.
"Although I can't see through Qiqi's power, at least it's pure!"
Hilichurl Camp.
While carefully observing everyone's expressions, Lei Ze slowly explained his identity.
"This is absurd! How could someone grow up among wolves?"
Ah Yin pondered Raize's appearance in disbelief.
"These wolves killed our little brother. Since you understand wolf language, ask them what to do!"
Ah Zong suppressed his anger and said to Lei Ze through gritted teeth.
To save his people, Raize had no choice but to relay the message.
........................
Two minutes later, Razer finally raised his head and stood up from beside the fence.
“They…didn’t…do it on purpose, they were just…chasing…a…gem. I…am also very sorry for killing your…little brother. We will…regularly…send you…some prey…as compensation, until you forgive…us.”
Using the moonlight in the night sky as a guide, Ying and Paimon groped their way out of the forest.
Because the two were standing in the shadows, they naturally became black, just like the shadows of the trees.
"A gem?"
Paimon's eyes lit up as soon as he saw Qiqi and heard Razer talking about gems.
The two people's sudden appearance startled everyone.
Paimon was then forced to explain his and Luminous's identities.
"Qiqi, I found you! Are you alright?"
Ying leaned over with concern and bent down to check if Qi Qi had any injuries.
As for Qiqi, she had long forgotten about playing hide-and-seek.
With Paimon's pointed reminder, Ah Yin also started paying attention to the gem.
"What gemstone? Did my little brother take your gemstone?"
“That gem…I remember…we found it…in a…valley…in the Wolf's Territory. At the time…the tribesmen…were…chasing prey when they suddenly encountered…a…mysterious figure, who instantly…knocked down…the prey and dropped…a gem. This gem…is very beautiful, and it has been passed down…to this generation…we value it very much. Your family…came to…our…camp this morning, while we…we were sleeping, and the gem…was taken away. After hearing…the commotion…the tribesmen…chickened out.”
"Ugh, it's really hard to understand this werewolf friend!" Paimon muttered under his breath.
The four hunter brothers were speechless again after hearing this.
So, after misunderstanding the Hilichurls, we've now misunderstood the wolves?
Ah Yin was furious but had nowhere to vent his anger. He could only beat his chest and stamp his feet in frustration. He never expected that his little brother's hobby of collecting treasures would lead to his death!
After the truth came out, Silver angrily opened the fence and surrounded the Hilichurl camp.
The matter was thus concluded, and the four brothers had no reason to hold a grudge about their youngest brother's death, so they could only shake hands and make peace.
Now that Qiqi has been found, it's time for her to leave.
"Little Black, I have to go now. I'll come see you again next time."
Qiqi patted Xiaohei on the shoulder reassuringly, then turned and left.
"Seven...seven..."
On the way back to Liyue.
As luck would have it, Ying and Paimon were about to head straight back to the Hall of Rebirth without looking for Xunfeng when they ran into Amber, who was returning from a mission, on the way.
Beside Amber stood a beautiful figure in blue.
"Huh? Isn't this the Knight of Honor? How come you... have time to go back to Mondstadt?" Amber looked at Luminous with slight excitement.
"Hey? Amber, is the person next to you also a member of the Knights of Favonius?"
Paimon rubbed his eyes, wondering if he had ever seen her in Mondstadt before.
"Hehe, let me introduce you! This is my best friend, Yura! Although she's from the Lawrence family, she has her own unique thoughts and is very helpful!"
"The Lawrence family? I think I've heard of them..."
"Hello, Honor Knight and her little mascot!"
"What? I have a name too! My name is Paimon!"
Paimon was furious. Ying was called the Knight of Honor, but why was I called her mascot?
"Hey? Honor Knight, where's your weapon?"
Amber looked at Ying with curiosity and asked a question.
After all, Ying always carries the Unsharp Sword on her back!
"This is a painful past... let's not talk about it!"
After Ying said that, she didn't press the matter further.
"What good is a knight without a weapon? How about this, I'll take you to find a powerful weapon, shall we?"
Yura extended a warm invitation.
"That won't do... I can't just go looking for a new weapon because the old one is broken. Wouldn't that be too fickle?"
Yingyi righteously prepared to decline Yura's kind offer.
"One sword, one Frozen Tree seed."
"When shall we go find the sword?"
After hearing Yura describe the sword's power, Ying even forgot what the bladeless sword looked like. She abandoned Qiqi and Paimon and went to retrieve her beloved sword to take home.
