After lunch...
Zhongli went to find the adepti, while Li Qiuzhi prepared to take Barbara and Noelle home first. After all, Azhdaha was far too powerful.
It would be troublesome if they came along and got caught in the crossfire.
This was not difficult. With Spatial Traversal, he could take both of them back to Mondstadt City without spending much time.
Before taking them back, though, he could give them the Beacons.
Their Friendship was already so high that Barbara and Noelle probably would not refuse the gifts. That way, after fighting Azhdaha, when he went adventuring in other Domains...
He could let them teleport over themselves, without having to go and invite them.
There were still quite a few people around in Liuli Pavilion. Taking out the Beacons would attract too much attention, so it would be better to go outside first.
Having decided, Li Qiuzhi led Barbara and Noelle out of Liuli Pavilion.
As for the bill, Zhongli had already told the waiter to charge it to Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. They did not need to worry about it.
Walking along the bustling street, Li Qiuzhi led the two into an alley and activated his Invisibility Domain.
"This afternoon, I'm going with Zhongli to deal with a very powerful Element Dragon King.
"To keep you from getting caught in the crossfire, I'll take you home first. I'll come find you tomorrow so we can keep exploring."
Barbara and Noelle also knew they were not strong enough to be of much help if they went along, so they nodded without objection.
"All right, Mr. Honorary Knight. Please be careful too."
Hearing Barbara and Noelle's concern, Li Qiuzhi smiled faintly.
"Thank you. As it happens, I have some gifts for you."
He briefly explained the Beacons to Barbara and Noelle.
"Huh?
