After the matter is over, I'll leave with my clothes hidden, my name and achievements? That won't do, the commission fee cannot be less.
The next day.
Acting Grand Master Jean had already started working in her office early.
The Stormterror situation had also been resolved.
She had returned before Ying.
At this moment, she was writing a speech.
She was going to announce that the dragon crisis in Mondstadt City had ended.
And to clarify the misunderstandings involved.
Jean heard someone knock on the door.
"Please come in."
Jean looked up and saw Mu Yang entering.
She quickly stopped the pen in her hand.
She walked over and took Mu Yang's hand.
"I've already understood the specific details in the report."
"Thank you, the great hero of Mondstadt."
Mu Yang teased.
"Forget about being a great hero, but you can't skimp on the compliments."
Acting Grand Master Jean smiled.
She took out the pre-prepared money pouch and handed it to Mu Yang.
"Two commissions, please count it."
Mu Yang: "No need, the Acting Grand Master wouldn't shortchange me on this little bit of Mora, would she."
"Pleasant cooperation."
After Mu Yang said that, he was about to bid farewell to Jean.
Jean spoke to ask him to stay.
"Are you leaving now? Won't you stay for the celebration banquet with the Honorary Knight and the others?"
Mu Yang politely declined.
His identity would be too out of place in such an occasion.
He also didn't like joining in such lively events.
Jean didn't insist.
Everyone had their own way of life.
Don't make trouble for yourself.
Mu Yang left the Knights of Favonius headquarters.
Without the slightest hesitation.
He directly used his Lightness Skill to leave the city.
Heading in the direction of Wangshu Inn.
Returning to Ying's side.
Ying and Paimon returned to Mondstadt City a day later than Jean.
It was already close to evening.
As soon as they reached the entrance.
They saw Amber and some Knights of Favonius cleaning up the battlefield.
Paimon shouted.
"Hey! Amber!"
Amber turned around, "Ah, it's you two! The Honorary Knight has made a triumphant return."
Paimon: "Hehe, we gave Stormterror a good run for its money."
Amber: "Acting Grand Master Jean returned to Mondstadt before you. She's already told everyone about your deeds."
Little Paimon asked Amber what she was doing now.
"Could it be that you specifically came out to welcome us?"
Ying rolled her eyes at her.
"How could that possibly be?"
She turned to Amber.
"It seems you've been through a tough battle as well. You must be exhausted."
Amber said, "It was indeed a very difficult battle."
"If Mr. Mu Yang hadn't intervened, Mondstadt City would likely have..."
Earth.
The players' perspective followed Lumine.
At this moment, they heard Mu Yang's name again.
Guinaifen immediately sent a message.
"Ahhh, I missed seeing my husband in action again."
"I'm itching, my heart is itching, do you guys understand this feeling?"
[First time I've felt the same way as the streamer]
[Amber made it sound pretty serious. Were they attacked while we were gone?]
[This has been changed too. As someone from the closed beta, it used to just be some defenses holding off Hilichurls]
[What is old MiHoYo doing? They added difficulty to make Mu Yang step in, but they won't show it to us?]
[He really knows how to tease us]
[Damn, they're really playing hard to get]
Paimon was shocked.
It actually required that guy Mu Yang to step in?!
Doesn't that mean the battle in Mondstadt City was no less intense than the one with Stormterror.
Amber nodded.
"According to Lisa, the Abyss Order might have dispatched more advanced Abyss monsters."
"Mr. Mu Yang also confirmed this, but the opponent fled very quickly."
"They directly hid in another dimension, and Mr. Mu Yang couldn't do anything about it."
Lumine frowned, "More advanced Abyss monsters..."
Amber continued.
"Mr. Mu Yang is now also a great hero of Mondstadt City, just like you all."
"You guys are the most talked about in the city."
Afterward, Amber recounted the battle Mu Yang had at the city gates.
In Amber's description.
The players, through recalled scenes.
Witnessed Mu Yang's battle at the city gates.
The frozen bridge repelled a group of Hilichurls.
A kick sent the Cryo Hilichurl Chieftain flying.
Sword energy divided the battlefield, drawing a line of death.
Finally, there was that move, 'Azure Dragon Emerging from Water'.
An incredibly lifelike ice dragon appeared in the sky.
This special effect sent all the players into a frenzy.
Because, this dragon form.
Felt incredibly familiar to the Descendants of the Dragon.
Sparkle's livestream.
"Are you little brats still arguing? I told you 'Azure Dragon Emerging from Water' was a skill."
"Who else has these big ice dragon special effects!"
"Does a weakling like an Electro Cicin Mage even deserve special effects?"
"Woohoo~ Battle! Awesome!"
[Streamer, it's not the Azure Dragon that came out of the water, it's you]
[Stop speaking the truth]
[Just for these ice dragon special effects, I'm definitely pulling for him]
[If his minor skills are this fierce, I don't even dare to imagine his ultimate]
He's got the looks, the strength, and the special effects. Plus, he likes our protagonist. What more could you ask for?
Silver Wolf's livestream.
Silver Wolf watched Mu Yang on the screen.
His silhouette looked incredibly frail.
He faced an army of thousands alone.
Yet, not a hint of wavering.
Instead, the enemies were intimidated by his presence.
"This move, standing with his sword on his back, holding the pass against all odds."
"How many chuunibyou fantasies does this fulfill?"
I'm completely captivated.
So satisfying. Brother Mu is personally demonstrating the fantasies guys have when they zone out in class.
If he pulled out a belt to transform now, he'd be invincible (winks).
You guys dream about this too?
Brother Mu really understands men.
"Sword, come!"
Can miHoYo do anything right? They're showing a flashback, why not a dual-narrative?
Streamer, hurry up and go to the city to find Mu Yang and see if there's new plot.
Ahhhhh, I'm going to die without Mu Yang.
"Don't rush, don't rush. Let Amber finish her story first."
Amber finished telling the story.
Paimon's eyes sparkled.
"That guy is too amazing!"
Ying commented, "It seems he was quite restrained at the Fatui stronghold."
She asked Amber, "Is Mu Yang still in the city?"
Amber told her.
"He left this morning after collecting his commission fee from Acting Grand Master Jean."
"He's probably already back in Liyue."
"Acting Grand Master Jean said she wanted him to stay for a celebration banquet with you all."
"But he politely declined."
Ying felt a bit disappointed upon hearing this.
"Is that so."
He left with a flourish, hiding his fame and glory?
Give it a rest. My Brother Mu isn't that kind of goody-two-shoes. He only left after getting paid.
Fits his character. Take the money, solve the problem.
Why didn't Mu Yang wait for us? Is my little darling shy?
It's to connect the plot to Liyue, to make you look forward to Liyue.
Wow, miHoYo really knows everything.
Amber suddenly remembered.
She had promised to treat Ying and Paimon to "Honey Carrot Pan-fried Meat" before.
Everything here was also mostly cleaned up now.
She suggested they go to Degel's Tavern to eat.
Ying said, "Weren't we supposed to have a celebration banquet later?"
Amber: "Let's eat something to fill our stomachs first."
Paimon didn't care about any of that.
Upon hearing there was free food, her mouth started watering.
"I'm so tired after traveling for so long. I'm going to feast today, let's go!"
Ying put her hands on her hips, "You didn't have to fight, and you traveled by flying. Where exactly are you tired?"
"Don't worry about that. Anyway, I'm just very tired. I want to eat delicious food!"
The three headed to Degel's Tavern.
And ate heartily.
