Chapter 836 Do you miss me?
“I have to remind you of something…” Zuo Xi pointed her finger, seemingly wanting to say something meaningful, but then suddenly realized something, “Okay, you are strong enough now.”
He instinctively wanted to say this so that Sandoni wouldn't hear it, but then he realized that Ying seemed to be able to pin Sandoni down now.
"Don't change the subject, are you going or not?" Ying pouted. Zuo Xi had always joked around like this to change the subject many times before when Zuo tide encountered this kind of situation.
Before, she wasn't very clear about her feelings, so it was fine, but now that she's made it clear, Ying certainly won't let Zuo Xi fool her so easily anymore.
Besides, it's just celebrating a holiday together, it's not a big deal!
Zuo tide sighed slightly. This blond guy was not so easy to fool now. "I remember you had an agreement with Sandoni, right? Something about not being allowed to come secretly or something."
This happened not long ago in Fengdan. Zuo Xi didn't know the specifics, but he roughly knew that something like this had happened—it was probably that Sandone knew he couldn't stop Ying, so he made a three-point agreement with her, which he guessed was something like not being allowed to run away.
"Well... just tell me if you're going or not!" Ying made good use of the passive skill she learned from Zuo tide—thick-skinned.
Are you kidding me? You expect someone who's wanted everywhere to obediently follow the rules? Rules are always flexible, you know!
“Hmm…” Zuo Xi deliberately hesitated for a moment, until Ying couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him before finally smiling and answering, “Okay, if there’s nothing else, let’s go for a walk.”
Zuo tide sighed slightly, feeling a little melancholy—he knew that when he returned, he would likely have a few more teeth marks on his body.
But things don't seem to be going well lately...
"Hey, hey, hey, aren't you two talking way too much, oblivious to everyone else?" Yura sighed, rubbing her forehead. "Can't you be a little more considerate of other people's feelings? Can't you see Paimon isn't saying anything?"
Zuo tide then realized that Paimon had indeed been silent for a long time, seemingly ever since Ying invited him to the Wind Flower Festival.
"Do you have a fever?" Zuo tide pulled Paimon's hand to her forehead to check her temperature. "No, you don't have a fever. Why are you so quiet..."
Paimon is known as the "mouth of God"! Normally she can talk the talk of ten Luminaries, so why is she acting so strangely today?
"Paimon was just tired from flying." Ying took Paimon from Zuo tide's hands, then held him in her arms and walked briskly ahead.
Not bad, Paimon! You actually knew to give them some space! Hmph, extra chicken leg for you tonight!
Zuo tide smiled and shook her head, then quickened her pace to catch up with the other two.
......
"There are so many people at the Knights' headquarters! What happened?" Paimon and Ying arrived at the hall first, only to find that besides passersby, there were two unfamiliar knights standing in the usually quiet hall.
"Two people don't really count as 'that many people'..." Ying corrected Paimon somewhat speechlessly, then looked at the two knights, "But there aren't usually many people in the hall. Has something happened in Mondstadt?"
After all, Kaiya came to see them, and they heard that Qin also had something to discuss with them.
At this moment, Zuo tide and the other two also arrived at the hall. Zuo tide looked at the two people in the hall and was obviously slightly surprised for a moment.
"Second Captain Nott, Third Captain Skyron... including Kaya and Yura, half of your captains stationed in Mondstadt are here, right?" Zuo tide pondered for a moment, a thoughtful expression on her face.
He was right; Mondstadt was probably plotting something big.
Since he happened to witness it, then Mondstadt has really hit the jackpot... Mondstadt has really struck it lucky!
"Could this be...?" Nott, the captain of the second squad, was first surprised that the other party knew their names so quickly. Then, after looking at the other party's appearance, he remembered something with a mixture of surprise and doubt.
It's not surprising that the other party knows their names and identities; this is public information, and whether or not they know it depends entirely on whether or not they are willing to investigate.
"No need to be offended by a mere merchant from the Winter Solstice." Zuo Xi waved her hand slightly. "By the way, I didn't come here shamelessly. It was this knight who invited me, so I came to broaden my horizons."
He stepped aside slightly to let Kaiya pass. Kaiya, who had just entered, was taken aback for a moment upon hearing these words, and then nodded helplessly.
“This is the traveler’s close friend and also a distinguished guest of the Regalia leader, so I took the liberty of bringing him along with the traveler.” Kaiya deliberately emphasized the word “distinguished guest”.
Nott and Skyron exchanged a glance upon hearing this, understanding the implication in Kaiya's words—that was indeed true, it would be better to leave such a person to the Commander of the Piano Troupe to handle personally.
"Then let's not chat any longer. Please come in. Commander Qin is inside; she will explain things to you personally."
......
"Jin!" It was Paimon again, greeting her with the same enthusiasm.
"You've arrived..." Jean finally managed a slightly more relaxed expression on her serious face. Just as she was about to respond to Paimon's greeting and get down to business, she saw another person enter—someone she hadn't expected, yet for some reason, she didn't feel particularly surprised.
"Long time no see, Acting Commander. Have you missed me lately?"
