With strong curiosity, Bai Zhe rode straight towards Xingluo Town. He couldn't help but sigh that his own territory was better. Although his relationship with the Knights was not that good, they didn't send people to follow him all the time.
Imagine that you have seven or eight pairs of eyes staring at you when you play with women or do anything. Even if it doesn't affect you, you feel very uncomfortable inside.
In contrast, although there are many moths in the Knights, they still focus on protecting Mondstadt. After all, it is not the businessman's turn to rule here.
It took a while to rush back to Xingluo Town from Mondstadt, and I needed to rest in Qingquan Town before rushing on.
When we came to a hotel, the horses were kept in the stables of the hotel. There were also good food and drinks waiting for them, of course it was Mora.
Enjoying local food, super large barbecue steaks and honey pickles in the restaurant on the first floor of the hotel, I remembered that I ordered a honey pickle when I first came to Qingquan Town. But things have changed now. The original hotel has closed down. I heard that the whole family has moved into Mondstadt. It seems that they have some savings and want a better life.
Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, I have been in this world for several years...
Bai Zhe, who was enjoying dinner, heard a commotion. There was a figure at the door and a voice mixed with complaints.
"I can't, I'm so tired..."
"It's obvious that I'm the one fighting. Paimon, you have no right to complain."
The familiar voice reached his ears, which made Bai Zhe couldn't help but look up. He saw a girl with blond hair in white clothes and a tired guy floating in the air.
Isn’t this the famous traveler and her emergency food?
"Oh, what a coincidence, you two."
Ying and Paimon were attracted by the sound. They turned their heads in the direction of the sound and found Bai Zhe sitting there alone enjoying dinner.
When he met an acquaintance, he walked over and sat across from him.
"Hey, when did you return to Mondstadt? Aren't you in Liyue Port?"
Ying, on the other hand, meets people everywhere. Almost every force has people she can contact. This is very similar to Alicia, but there are obvious differences between them.
"I came back yesterday and needed to discuss business matters, and Keqing also came with me. She is now staying at the Goethe Hotel."
After finishing, Bai Zhe waved his hand to the proprietress in front of the counter to come over.
"I see you are probably exhausted from being outside. Eat something and have a good rest. I'll treat you to whatever you want."
After hearing Bai Zhe's words, Paimeng became excited instantly. Without waiting for Ying to react, he directly showed the name of the dish to the landlady. Seeing this, Ying just had a helpless and doting look on his face.
While waiting for the dishes, several people started chatting.
Bai Zhe was the first to ask the question.
"Are you completing a commission from the Adventurers Association? I talked to Diluc in Mondstadt this morning. Recently, the Knights have added a lot of commissions to the association to eliminate monsters."
Ying drank the ice-cold juice in the glass in one gulp, feeling an indescribable sense of joy in her heart. She fought outside and fought with the Abyss Mage again and again.
"Well, I spent a lot of money going to Daozhu before, and I got a lot of help going back and forth. Fortunately, I got the Chensong Pot from Grandma Ping before, so I didn't have to sleep in the open air and saved a lot of money. La, but Mora is always not enough..."
Ying sighed and turned to look at Paimon next to her, with a hint of doting in her eyes. It seemed that she didn't regard Mora as particularly important.
As if she realized something, Ying turned her head and looked at Bai Zhe and asked, "Diluc? You went to Mondstadt today to see Diluc."
Bai Zhe took a sip of wine and denied, "I originally wanted to stroll around Mondstadt, but I was not happy being watched all the time in Liyue Port. You can think of it as a way to relax."
Ying was slightly surprised by this and showed an expression of disbelief. She didn't expect that Bai Zhe, who was so aloof and fighting with Ningguang in the mall, would have such a moment.
"Hey, you can go out and relax like an ordinary person."
Bai Zhe couldn't help laughing when he heard these words. He laughed very happily. He didn't expect that he would get such a comment. He was not a scourge.
"What, what do you think of me? Everyone has emotions, such as happiness, loss, and sadness. Naturally, I also have these emotions. Even though I look at ease in doing anything, I work very hard behind the scenes. , that’s the feeling of having a heavy burden on your shoulders.”
Ying asked with some confusion: "But aren't there many people around you to help you? Sister Alicia, Sister Mebius, and so many others."
Bai Zhe put down the beer barrel cup in his hand, held his chin with one hand and was silent for a while, looking at Ying's innocent look, he slowly spoke.
"Every one of them is eagerly looking forward to my every word. My words and deeds are the rules for them to implement everything. If I walk in front, they will follow behind me without hesitation... I can't fail, I Failure is not allowed. This is the feeling of shouldering a heavy burden. Everyone’s position is different and what they have to bear is also different.”
Ying and Paimeng were slightly stunned. It is true that Bai Zhe's strength and domineering were based on his own interests. At least he had never done anything bad to him, but had received a lot of benefits from him.
The atmosphere gradually became solemn, but with the shouts of the landlady, dishes were placed on the table one after another, and Paimon and Ying, who were already hungry, started to eat happily. Bai Zhe understands this. After all, fighting consumes a lot of energy, just like he gets hungry easily after having sex. This is the same reason.
There were one glass after another in front of Bai Zhe's table. He had a good drinking capacity and was not afraid of a hangover. He waited until Ying and Paimon had eaten and drank before asking.
"Ying, are you going to stay in Qingquan Town for a while?"
Ying stuffed the last piece of stew on the plate into her mouth, like a hamster chewing food, swallowed it and drank the juice in large gulps.
"No, I'm going to Xingluo Town. I've received a few commissions and need to deliver letters, collect materials, and place a few beacons. There is also a ruins near Xingluo Town. The Abyss Mage has been active recently, which makes me a little bit confused. I'm concerned and want to go over and investigate the specific situation."
Ying seemed to have thought of something and said: "Wait a minute, isn't the headquarters of World Snake in Xingluo Town? So Xingluo Town is developing so fast now, do you have to take credit for it?"
Bai Zhe's expression was strange for a while. What does it mean to have one's own merit? The predecessor of Xingluo Town was a shabby village, and its development into the current scale of Mondstadt City is all due to his own merit.
But he is not a person who likes to show off his achievements. In many cases, seeing is believing, and it is not so convincing when it comes from his own mouth.
