Chapter 77
Kaiya and Qin noticed something from Zhuang Qi's expression and words.
Qin's eyes suddenly became sharp, and she carefully looked at the young man with a handsome appearance and a warm smile.
Originally, when Qin first saw him, she had a good impression of him.
However, when she realized that his relationship with her sister might not be simple, her eyes became picky.
Although his face is good-looking, he has no power and no God's Eye. He is too weak!
In addition, he is timid and can hardly become a great man!
The girls have expressed their intention to get close to him, but he actually said that they are just friends. He is not reliable at all!
In short, such a man is not worthy of her delicate, soft, gentle, generous, cute and sweet sister!
Qin asked in an interrogative tone:"What did she do and say to you before she left Mond? Tell me about it?"
Zhuang Qi suddenly realized that he might have let the cat out of the bag, and his face became more rosy than before.
"Captain Qin, let's talk about Barbara's situation in Mondstadt.
The young man changed the subject quickly, and without waiting for Qin's consent, he continued:
"I met Barbara because of Gene"
"When I was in trouble, it was Gene who lent me a hand. Because Mondstadt did not allow outsiders to enter, he hid me in the West Wind Cathedral."
"At that time, Barbara, as a priest of West Wind, not only healed my injuries, but also took care of me for a period of time."
"Afterwards, Archbishop Simon of West Wind helped me obtain a new identity, allowing me to start a new life in Mondstadt."
Zhuang Qi's eyes were sincere, as if he saw another familiar figure through the piano:
"Gene and his family not only saved me, they also treated me like one of their own."
"I will never forget this kindness."
Hearing the boy's words, Qin was stunned. Her sharp scrutiny gradually softened.
She could feel the sincerity in the boy's words.
But
Qin still had doubts in her heart."If that's the case, you know that our family is not right, it's their family. In short, the Gunhild family has always been loyal to Mondstadt and the God of Wind."
"Then why didn't you stop her from leaving Mond?"
"If you let her join the rebels, isn't that a betrayal to the"me" in another world?"
Faced with Qin's aggressive questioning, Zhuang Qi did not back down, and asked back:"Then for Captain Qin, loyalty is everything?"
"Do you think loyalty to Mond should override Barbara's right to pursue freedom?"
Qin had never faced such a question before, and was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
Zhuang Qi didn't get an answer, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes:
"I didn't actually let Barbara go. I told Archbishop Simon about it. Maybe that's why she said I didn't understand her."
"But the moment I saw her crossing the [wind field] and showing a brilliant smile that I had never seen before, I knew I was wrong."
"In this world, nothing is more precious than a smile, and nothing is more worth fighting for."
"At that moment, I really understood Barbara"
"Now I have the same idea as her, I hope everyone in [Mond] can have such a smile."
Zhuang Qi lowered his eyes and stopped looking at Qin:
"Captain Qin, you and Gene are really alike. I asked him the same question and his reaction was the same as yours."
"Perhaps you will never understand the pain of bondage that Barbara and the people of Mond have endured."
"Gene is not like us ordinary people, who are always confined within the city walls, always looking up at the same sky, and longing for the outside world."
"As a Dandelion Knight, he had the opportunity to leave the city."
Hearing this, Kaia couldn't help but speak up to defend Gene:
"If you really think of Gene in this way, then I think you don't understand him either."
Gene's figure crushed by the burden, the pain and struggle flashing in his blue eyes, are as vivid as if it happened yesterday.
"Do you remember that he rescued you despite the rule that Mondstadt did not allow outsiders to enter?"
"What Gene has endured is far more complicated than you can imagine, and it is not as untouched as you think."
"I believe that he will find the right path, and as a friend, you should trust him even more.
Zhuang Qi took a deep breath and said slowly:
"maybe"
"Gene is not only my lifesaver, but also my cherished friend. No matter what happens in the future, I will always regard him as an important part of my life."
"I just hope that there will never be a day when we become enemies.
Jean and Kaeya could sense Zhuang Qi's worries about the future.
Kaeya suggested,"When you return to Mondstadt, you can have a frank talk with Jean."
"I think, after seeing the free Mond, his thoughts may have changed."
Zhuang Qi tried to force a smile, although his smile was a little helpless:
"Okay, I'll try to talk to him."
"Sorry, I'm tired. Can you let me rest for a while?"
It can be seen that the fatigue on Zhuang Qi's face is not only physical, but more of a burden on the mind.
Kaiya nodded in understanding and left the room with Qin, who was worried.
As soon as they left the tavern, Kaiya couldn't help asking:"How is it? After meeting Zhuang Qi, do you still think the story of the other [Mond] is false?"
Qin's voice was a little confused:
"Am I the same as this young man in that world?"
Jin didn't finish her words, but Kaia immediately understood her doubts:
Do people from another [Mond] all look so painful and helpless?
Kaia was silent for a moment, then replied:
"Yes. And as a Knight of Favonius, Gene has been exposed to more things, and he looks even more tired and helpless than Zhuang Qi."
This is also the reason why Kaeya insisted on bringing Jean to see Zhuang Qi after knowing that Gene had returned to his own world.
Anyone who has seen that world with their own eyes can feel the pain and powerlessness emanating from their hearts, and this emotion cannot be disguised in any way.
Unfortunately, Kaeya didn't know that there is a cheating thing in the world called"system".
He also didn't know that Zhuang Qi was a lunatic who deceived even himself when he lied.
【The truth of the other world will never be discovered.
Master Liuyun Jiefeng found that his disciple was in a very low mood after meeting Kaiya and Qin, and he couldn't help but get angry at Master Lishan Dieshui:
"Zhuang Qi was already extremely unwell due to overuse of his strength, but you let those two people disturb him when I wasn't paying attention."
"Since Zhuang Qi has come to our world, why should he worry about Mondstadt's affairs?"
Lishan Dieshui Zhenjun, who had been beaten many times by Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun, touched his arm which was still aching, and said helplessly:
"Because I think what Kaia said makes sense."
"According to the previous rules, Zhuang Qi will not stay in our world for too long."
"He will eventually return to that cruel world to face everything."
"You can't protect him forever."
"It would be better for Zhuang Qi to face reality as soon as possible and not lose his way in this free Mondstadt."
"Moreover, the Knights of Favonius should really start thinking about countermeasures and exploring how to resist the power of the God of Wind."
Wendy, who was drinking on the side , said,"Here you go again. Can't you just let me drink alone?
Why do you always have to discuss how to deal with me in front of me?
" Wendy took a sip of wine depressedly and said,"Have you ever thought that the God of Wind in that world may also be helpless?"
Wendy knew his own personality very well. He believed that the"self" in another world would not become a tyrant for no reason.
Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun seemed very determined, and her voice revealed unquestionable tyranny:
"No matter what his reasons are, since he made a mistake, he should be punished."
"If I have the chance to meet him, I will definitely not show mercy." (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Wendy: Okay, okay, I won't say anything, you guys can do whatever you want.
Master Liuyun Jiefeng didn't want to stay with these two annoying guys anymore.
She snorted coldly, turned around and went upstairs, intending to check on Zhuang Qi.
Zhuang Qi was idle in the room at this time. He was staring out the window in a daze, while frantically modifying the design of his battle suit in his mind.
When he first got the cross-dressing magic, he did feel disdain for this fancy thing.[]
But it is undeniable that there is something fun about so many costume games that are so popular!
Although he is only worthy of wearing [ordinary battle suit] with his current strength, his ability will gradually become stronger as he plays more roles.
His personal story will become more and more complete and rich.
When his ability is strong enough, those battle suits will no longer be just lines on the drawings, but a symbol of his strength. It’s so wonderful just thinking about it.
Master Liuyun Jiefeng gently opened the door, and what came into view was the lonely figure of Zhuang Qi.
He was staring out the window, his eyes revealing a desire for the outside world, but he seemed to have some reservations and did not dare to touch it easily.
In this empty room, his figure looked particularly lonely.
Master Liuyun Jiefeng’s heart couldn’t help but tighten.
She stepped towards Zhuang Qi, her voice full of concern:"Zhuang Qi, are you feeling better now?"
"Perhaps, I can arrange some training for you.
Focusing on cultivation may help you forget your worries for a while.
Zhuang Qi:
Why do you think I sit here and act emo for days?
I am like this, and you still won't let me go?
Zhuang Qi shook his head, his expression gloomy........
"Sorry, Master. I still have some questions that I haven't figured out yet. I want to think about them quietly by myself."
"Master, I heard that you had a close relationship with Barbara in that world [Mond]."
Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun looked at Zhuang Qi with worry in her eyes.
She concealed the inexplicable discomfort in her heart and suggested:"Do you want to meet her, the Barbara in this world."
Zhuang Qi's heart moved.
Although he had met Barbara, he had been stuck in the room for so long, and it would be a good thing to go out and get some fresh air. He looked a little hesitant:"Is she doing well in this world?"
Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun recalled the scene when he first met the blonde girl, and then described:
"She looks carefree and innocent, as if she is well protected by the people around her.
Zhuang Qi's eyes flashed when he heard this.
"It sounds like the Barbara in my world is very different from the one in mine."
He made a decision in his heart,"Master, take me to see her."
Master Liuyunjiefeng nodded slightly,"Okay."
The master and the disciple walked out of the room slowly together. Master Liuyunjiefeng led Zhuang Qi through the streets of Mondstadt based on the route he remembered, and finally arrived at the door of West Wind Church.
Master Liuyunjiefeng's voice was so soft that it seemed to be carried away by the breeze at any time.
"The person you want to see is inside, go in by yourself."
Zhuang Qi took a few steps forward, but then stopped again.
He felt a sense of homesickness in his heart, which made him dare not move forward.
He stood there, struggling and hesitating.
At this moment, a lively figure ran out of the church, with a breath of youthful vitality and cheerfulness.
Barbara shouted while running:"Today I have an appointment with everyone in Mondstadt to perform, and I will come back later."
Her voice was full of anticipation and excitement.
The sun shone on her face, making her smile look more brilliant and moving.
She suddenly noticed the True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng standing not far away, and a surprised expression appeared on her face. She waved her hand vigorously:"It's you, the traveler from Liyue."
Barbara walked quickly to the True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng, with a friendly smile on her face:"Have you had fun in Mondstadt these days?"
Then, her eyes turned, as if looking for someone:
"Hey, where is the blond boy you were with before? Where did he go?"
Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun replied calmly:
"He went back to his hometown."
""Ah, is it Fontaine?"
Barbara's tone revealed a hint of disappointment, and she muttered softly:"I still have a lot of things I want to ask him."
After meeting the boy that day, Barbara immediately wrote a letter to her parents, trying to find out whether the boy might be a family member she had never met.
However, all she received were denials.
In his reply, her father even denounced her idea as"nonsense."
2.1 Although her parents firmly denied her guess, Barbara still had doubts in her heart.
She always felt that there must be some connection between the boy and her family.
Otherwise, how to explain that his appearance and temperament are exactly the same as her sister's.
Unfortunately, before she found a chance to ask clearly, the boy had returned to his hometown.
Suddenly, Barbara felt a pair of eyes fixed on her face.
She turned her head with confusion, only to see a black-haired boy staring at her intently.
Barbara subconsciously touched her cheek:"Is there something on my face?"
"Is there something on my face?"
Zhuang Qi seemed to wake up from a dream and quickly shook his head:"No,"
"Do you know me?"
The boy paused for a moment, then answered in an almost inaudible voice:"No, I don't know you.""
"Do you really not know him?"
Barbara didn't know why, but when she saw the boy's eyes, she felt sad.
If he didn't know him, why would he look at her with such sad eyes?
"Barbara, why are you still here? We have been waiting for you by the fountain for a long time.
A passing nun greeted her with a hint of urging in her tone.
"Oh, yes."
Barbara immediately realized that she was going to be late, and she didn't have time to continue exploring the stranger's gaze.
In a hurry, she only had time to say to Zhuang Qi:"Then let's see you next time."
Before she finished speaking, she turned and ran to the agreed place, her long golden hair drawing a bright track in the sun.
Zhuang Qi stood quietly there, watching Barbara's figure gradually go away.
The sun shone on his face, but it couldn't illuminate the haze in his heart.
Liuyunjiefeng Zhenjun asked softly:"It sounds like this Miss Barbara seems to have a performance, do you want to go���
See ?".
