The Fatui want to spar with me? Go call the "Captain".

Earth.

Sparkle's livestream room.

Sparkle, a player focused on strength, watched this sword strike.

She almost died.

She almost met her end.

"She's too strong, everyone, I have to pull for her."

"I feel like this is a minor skill."

[It probably is. Brother Mu has never called out skill names before, he just one-shots everything.]

[Azure Dragon Emerging from Water? How did it emerge?]

[Don't be ridiculous.]

[Diluc: Am I already forgotten before I even had my moment, everyone?]

[It's not a minor skill, there wasn't even any special effect.]

[The new character isn't finished yet, at least it shows that Old Mi isn't cutting corners.]

On Teyvat's side.

The Electro Cicin Mage had no chance to react.

It fell immediately.

Mu Yang unleashed another sword energy.

He killed a Debt Collector.

Another one seemed to have escaped into a secret passage.

His voice could still be heard.

"Don't be so arrogant, wait until I find 'La Signora', and you'll all regret it."

"'La Signora' will punish you..."

"The bards of Mondstadt will use your fate to write nightmares that will keep children awake!"

Paimon retorted.

"You talk tough, but you still ran away."

Mu Yang headed in the direction the voice came from.

"Heh, 'La Signora', the Eighth Harbinger, the Fatui want to cross me."

"You should at least call your 'Captain'."

Lumine walked over, "'Captain'?"

"The Eleven Fatui Harbingers." (This is a guess for now, not official.)

One Harbinger is enough to say it all.

The Eighth Harbinger could act so arrogantly in Mondstadt.

Wouldn't a Harbinger be even more over the top?

Everyone re-evaluated Mu Yang's strength.

Of course, they didn't know.

The only reason La Signora could swagger through Mondstadt was because Venti felt indebted to her.

Otherwise, she would have been beaten long ago.

Mu Yang handed the Lyre of Winds to Lumine.

"Let's leave this place for now."

"Mhm."

The group left the Fatui stronghold.

On the way, Lumine asked Mu Yang why he was here.

Why he came looking for the Lyre of Winds.

This place was so hidden.

They only found it thanks to Lord Diluc's intelligence network.

Mu Yang answered all her questions.

Most of them were fabricated, of course.

Mu Yang said he was at the Cat's Tail tavern.

When he heard the Knights of Favonius making a commotion outside.

Upon inquiring, they said a blonde had stolen the Lyre of Winds.

The Knights of Favonius were currently investigating.

They even presented a portrait for Mu Yang to see if he recognized the person.

"I knew it was you at first glance."

Ying was speechless.

How could you tell?

That portrait was so abstract. (Reference: Honkai: Star Rail)

Besides the blonde hair, there were no other distinguishing features!

[Hahaha, look at Ying's expression, she's completely speechless]

[Seriously, "I knew it was you at first glance"?]

[He's using that deep affection in the wrong place, hilarious]

[How could you tell from something so abstract?]

Paimon couldn't help but chime in.

"You could tell from that?"

Mu Yang nodded.

Then, he said he saw a sneaky figure.

Holding a lyre in their hands.

The lyre emanated the aura of wind.

It was very likely the so-called Lyre of Winds.

"So I followed them."

"I didn't expect the other party to be so alert, using teleportation and illusions along the way."

"I almost got left behind."

Paimon agreed.

That Electro Cicin Mage was really fast.

Fortunately, Mu Yang eventually found their hideout.

The rest, as everyone knows.

Mu Yang, with his sword, slaughtered his way through the entire Fatui hideout.

After hearing this, Paimon said with a grin.

"So you're saying you saw injustice and drew your sword to help?"

"Heh, I thought you only did things if you got paid, but it turns out you're a good person too."

Mu Yang said.

"I did get paid, that glass of juice was very delicious."

"I thought if I retrieved the Lyre of Winds, the Knights of Favonius would cancel your wanted notice."

Mu Yang finished speaking.

He met Ying's gaze.

As Mu Yang looked at her, Ying's cheeks seemed to flush slightly.

She quickly turned her face away.

"Th-thank you."

Ying's inner thoughts:

Ying, Ying, what are you thinking? It's just returning a favor.

It's all your fault for impulsively paying for others.

In the livestream.

Guinaifen asked the comments.

"Everyone, do you think Mu Yang talks a lot more when he's with us?"

"Is he a tsundere?"

[It really is, he's so stingy with words when facing others]

[Stingy with words, he's too reluctant to even ask questions during interrogations]

[He's definitely a young boy, becoming talkative around the person he likes]

["Your little guy is taking down Fatui with one sword each, huh?"]

["Fatui: Is our lives only worth a glass of juice worth 500 Mora?"]

["Diluc: Then what am I here for?"]

["Master Diluc is mainly here to participate."]

The group returned to the entrance of Mondstadt.

Mu Yang bid them farewell.

Paimon asked him.

"Aren't you coming with us?"

Mu Yang: "I won't be an eyesore to that poet."

Lumine expressed understanding.

"After all, the Anemo Dragon is Venti's friend."

Mu Yang: "If you need anything, come find me at the Cat's Tail."

Lumine replied, "Got it."

Afterward, he returned to Angel's Share with the Lyre of Winds.

He met up with Venti and Acting Grand Master Jean.

["Hahaha, I feel like Brother Mu knows Venti is the Anemo God."]

["He definitely knows. He threatened to beat up the god's subordinate, but now he's too scared to go, lmao."]

["If these two fight, wouldn't the destructive power be even greater than the Anemo Dragon's? Can Mondstadt withstand it?"]

["It's fine if these two fight, haven't you seen the fan art of Mu Yang X Venti?"]

["Don't just talk about it, where's the sauce?"]

["I'm so impatient, I'm King Impatient."]

Guinaifen quickly stopped them.

"Everyone, don't post these things in the livestream, the moderators are coming."

"Just send me a private message backstage."

["You little rascal"]

The flow of time in Teyvat and parallel Earth is not always the same.

For example, when Lumine was resting.

The game skipped through it with a brief black screen and subtitles.

Mu Yang planned to return to the hotel to rest first.

Although fighting these small fry didn't consume much energy.

There was nothing else to do right now.

Now, he just had to wait for the last thing.

Then he could leave Mondstadt and return to Liyue to start familiarizing himself.

In the following days.

Lumine was busy with the purification of Stormterror.

First, she searched for the tears, then purified them.

She gathered the tears into the Lyre of Winds.

Unexpectedly, when the Lyre of Winds was finally used.

It was shattered in one blow.

However, the Lyre of Winds was not Venti's trump card.

The truly powerful one was Lumine.

Because Venti discovered that the pollution of the corrupted tears.

Was the same as what was on Stormterror.

So, they headed to the Stormterror's Lair.

Intending to use Lumine's purification ability in the Anemo Dragon's old lair.

To restore Stormterror to its senses.

The only Knights of Favonius member participating in this operation was Jean.

But this didn't mean the others were slacking off in the city.

You don't need to worry about anything.

Just wait for the hero's triumphant return.

In places the protagonist couldn't see.

The Knights of Favonius also had their own matters to attend to.

Scout Knight Amber had discovered early on that the Hilichurl camps were gathering towards Mondstadt.

This was highly unusual.

So Jean had instructed them.

During the time she was away.

To absolutely protect Mondstadt.

If necessary, they could hire Mu Yang.
