On a quiet night, Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng quietly admired the magnificent sea view.

The sea in the night is like a deep gem, sparkling with mysterious and charming light.

As the sky gradually turned pale, the first ray of sunlight slowly rose and illuminated the entire world.

Shao Yun stood up gently, his eyes revealing tenderness and expectation. He patted his brown coat, stretched out his hand to Ying, and said enthusiastically: "Come on, my love, let us embark on the journey home together, back to the prosperous Mondstadt."

Ying smiled and stretched out her hand, which was held tightly by Shao Yun's warm and powerful hand and pulled up.

She responded jokingly: "You are always so frivolous. You don't even know how to restrain yourself in front of Paimon."

After hearing this, Shao Yun raised a playful smile and replied, "I always find it hard to control myself in front of you, and I think Paimeng will get used to it."

"You two are really..."

……

Shao Yun got out the two horses, Boadicea and Buell, and the three of them returned to Mondstadt leisurely under the golden light of the morning sun.

Ever since he scared the system last time, he could roam freely in Mondstadt without any hindrance.

However, Ying's riding skills were not as good as Shao Yun's. She was afraid of bumping into people while riding a horse in Mondstadt.

When they arrived at the city gate, Ying took Paimon off the horse and entered Mondstadt on foot.

Shao Yun still followed the old rules and put the horses into the system's stable before the two of them noticed.

When Ying looked back, she found that the two horses had disappeared out of thin air, and her long-standing curiosity was completely ignited.

"Shao Yun, I've always had a question, how did you make these horses disappear?"

Upon hearing this, Shao Yun smiled slightly and waved his hand gently, signaling Ying not to say anything.

Then he responded mysteriously: "Ying, this is a secret. I can't tell you, just think of it as me mastering some kind of magic."

Ying couldn't help laughing at Shao Yun's answer. She shrugged and said jokingly, "Well, Great Wizard Shao Yun, I'm a little hungry now. Can you use your 'magic' to treat Paimon and me to a delicious breakfast?"

Shao Yun was infected by Ying's humor and wit. He laughed out loud and readily agreed: "The great wizard will use 'physical magic' to conjure Mora, and then invite you to dinner at the Deer Hunter!"

The three of them leisurely strolled towards the Deer Hunter's Restaurant. When they passed the Adventurer's Association reception desk, Catherine suddenly waved to them and said with a smile, "Ying, and our lovely Miss Paimon, can you come over for a moment? I have something to tell you."

Shao Yun saw that Catherine only called Ying and Paimeng, and a trace of confusion flashed through his mind. He asked curiously: "Miss Catherine, can't I listen?"

Catherine smiled slightly and replied: "Mr. Shao Yun, you can naturally listen to it, but this matter is closely related to Ying."

Hearing this, Ying pointed at herself, wondering what this could have to do with her.

She walked up to Catherine and asked, "Something about me?"

Catherine nodded and continued, "Just now, a strange blond man came to Mondstadt. His clothes were very different from the ones we wear here. I guess he might be the relative you've been looking for."

When she heard about the blond hair and the unique clothes, she immediately became interested and asked eagerly: "What does he look like? Does he look like me?"

Catherine thought for a moment and described it in detail: "He is a tall man, but compared to Mr. Shao Yun, he is a little thin. What is more eye-catching is that he is wearing an eye patch."

Hearing the description of the eyepatch, Ying frowned slightly, and she whispered to herself: "This description seems familiar... Could he be Kaia's relative?"

Paimon couldn't help but complain, "Hey! Why would an eyepatch be used as proof of kinship? There are so many people wearing eyepatches in this world."

Shao Yun knew that at this moment, a task related to Dainsleb had been triggered, so he chose to wait and see.

Catherine saw that the blond man was not the blood relative that Ying was looking for. She smiled apologetically and said softly, "So he is not your blood relative. I am so sorry for wasting your time."

"However, he asked me about the location of the Angel's Gift half an hour ago and then left. Perhaps you can go and get to know him. Even if he is not the person you are looking for, it is not a bad idea to go and have a look. Perhaps making a friend will be helpful for your journey."

Ying responded to Catherine's kindness with a smile and said, "Thank you for your suggestion, Miss Catherine. We will consider your proposal."

Catherine shook her head to indicate that you're welcome.

"This is what I should do. I hope your trip goes well."

The three of them left the Adventurer's Association's reception desk, and Ying turned to Shao Yun to ask for his opinion.

"Shao Yun, do you think we should go meet that blond man?"

Shao Yun thought for a moment and then nodded. After all, he still had to rely on him to meet his brother-in-law.

"I want to meet him, too, to see what he looks like. Who knows, he really is one of Kaia's 'relatives'."

So, the three of them came to the Angel's Gift.

As soon as they entered the door, the bartender Charles looked at the three people enthusiastically, with a friendly smile on his face.

"Welcome, Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng, long time no see, what would you like to drink?"

Paimon couldn't wait to ask, "Mr. Charles, have you seen a blond man wearing an eye patch and dressed strangely?"

Charles pointed to the corner of the pub and said, "Oh, you are asking about him. What a coincidence, he is sitting over there."

Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng followed the instructions of the bartender Charles and indeed found the figure of Dainsleib in the corner.

He sat there quietly, isolated from everything around him, staring quietly at the wine glass in front of him.

After Ying politely thanked Charles, the three of them quietly approached Dainsleb.

Ying was the first to break the silence, and she took the initiative to greet Dainsleib.

"Hello, I am...an adventurer from the Adventurer's Guild."

However, Dainsleb did not respond and continued to immerse himself in his own world.

Ying and Paimon exchanged a confused look, and she tried to introduce herself again.

"Hello, I am an honorary knight of the Knights of Favonius."

But Dainsreb still did not respond, pretending not to hear anything.

However, Ying did not give up. She took a deep breath and greeted Dainsleb again.

"Hello, I am the traveler 'Ying'."

Hearing the word "traveler", Dainsleb became interested. He asked in a magnetic way, "Traveler? You came earlier than I expected... So, why are you traveling?"

Shao Yun saw that Dainsreb and Ying had started talking, and he knew what was going to happen next, so he didn't need to intervene too much. He quietly stepped back a few steps to leave enough space for the two of them.

As the plot shows, Dainsreb stretched out his hand to Ying, indicating Gobai Mora.

Ying took Mora out of the bag at her waist without hesitation and handed it to him.

Then, Dainsleb raised three questions: the dragon disaster in Mondstadt, the future of Liyue, and his views on the law of nature.

Ying thought for a moment, then gave the answers one by one.

"As expected... You are very similar to him..."

Hearing these words proves that things are almost done.

Just when Shao Yun thought that everything was over, Dainsleb suddenly turned around and looked at him.

This sudden change made Shao Yun feel nervous. Did he notice

Then, Dainsleb turned to Ying and said calmly, "I have one additional condition. I want to ask your traveling companion a few questions."

Ying obviously didn't expect such a turn of events. She looked at Dainsleib in surprise, then looked at Shao Yun, and asked in confusion: "Ah? You want to ask Shao Yun a question?"

Dainsleb nodded and said nothing more.

Ying waved gently, motioning Shao Yun to come over, and explained the current situation to him in a low voice.

After hearing this, Shao Yun sat next to Ying, facing him.

"So that's how it is. What exactly is your problem with this 'relative' of the pirate captain?" Shao Yun asked with a hint of amusement in his voice.

Dainsleb's gaze lingered on Ying for a moment, then he turned to Shao Yun and said, "Please allow me to ask your travel companion to keep some distance so that we can have a deeper conversation."

Ying heard Dainsleb's request and walked with Paimon to the bar, leaving enough space for the two of them.

Dainsleb stared at Shao Yun and said calmly, "Can I have a word with the person behind you?"

Shao Yun was shocked, thinking that the devil appeared again!

He looked around but didn't see anything unusual, so he whispered back, "What are you talking about?"

Seeing Shao Yun's reaction, Dainsleibu asked in confusion: "Don't you know? A man in a top hat has been following you."

Shao Yun's heart sank as he remembered the system's previous reminder.

You won't meet that mysterious guy for a long time.

It is true that you won’t encounter it, but that doesn’t mean it won’t follow you.

Amynos!

Shao Yun shook his head helplessly and sighed: "I know it exists, but the demon promised me that it would not appear in front of me for a long time. Now even if I want to see it, it will not appear in front of me."

When Dainsleb heard the word "demon", a strange color flashed in his eyes and he muttered in a low voice: "Demon? This word is really strange."

Dainsreb thought for a while, put the topic aside temporarily, and asked in a deep voice: "Shao Yun, the item in your waist bag that does not belong to this world, that is, the thirty silver, Mora-like things, can I take a look at it?"

Although Shao Yun was puzzled as to how Dainsreb knew this, he still took out the legendary item "Thirty Silver Coins of the Thirteenth Person" from the Eastern Legend backpack and handed it to Dainsreb.

Dainsreb took the silver coins and placed the thirty coins on the table one by one. Then an imperceptible light flashed in his eyes as he peeked into the secrets inside the silver coins.

In a trance, Dainsreb read a lot of disjointed words from the silver coins.

These words were very obscure and difficult to understand. The only things that came out were some incomprehensible words like "dagger", "disease", "flame", "straw rope", etc.

He was silent for a long time, and finally returned the silver coin to Shao Yun.

At the moment of returning the coins, his hands seemed to tremble a little, but he quickly regained his composure and whispered, "These thirty silver coins of yours do not belong to the world of Teyvat. The power contained in them cannot be underestimated. Keep them well and don't let the Abyss Cult get them."

Shao Yun put the silver coins away and asked, "Since these thirty silver coins are so powerful in your eyes, do you want them? As long as you do me a favor, I will give them to you immediately."

Dainsleb shook his head and said seriously, "I don't have the guts to ask for these thirty silver coins, but I still have three questions. I hope you can answer them truthfully."

Upon hearing this, Shao Yun couldn't help but complain: "You are too much like that devil, always keen on asking questions. Well, go ahead and ask."

Dainsleb didn't say much, and asked directly: "Why did you kill Lesgra Lawrence who leaked the information?"

Shao Yun did not hesitate and said bluntly: "Because of my momentary kindness and goodness, I put Paimeng in danger. Kindness is too luxurious for me, and luxurious things cannot be easily shared with others. So except for Eula who really escaped from the Lawrence family, I decided not to leave anyone alive."

Dainsleb nodded and continued, "Why did you force the God of Wind to give up the souls of the Lawrence family members except Eula?"

Shao Yun was stunned by this question. He looked at Dainsleib in confusion and asked, "How did you know about this?"

Dainsleb did not answer his question, but simply repeated calmly: "Please answer my question."

Shao Yun sighed and said helplessly: "Simply destroying the body cannot calm the anger in my heart. Therefore, I chose the most vicious way and dedicated the souls of those people to the 'devil', that is, the tall hat man behind me."

Deinsreb was unusually silent in answering the first two questions.

A final question was asked.

"I heard from Ying that you traveled with her for a while, but I heard from her that you expressed your 'love' to her on the first night, but if you were a frivolous playboy, you would definitely not be so stable, so I'm curious, can you explain it to me?"

Shao Yun was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Dainsleb to mention this matter.

He began to recall every detail of his encounter with Ying. He said slowly, "I told her about my past. I was a desperado. At least a large part of my memory was about murder and arson."

"However, even knowing this, she still chose to take me on this journey. Instead of letting me fall, she gave me a chance to start over. With this courage and friendship, I am willing to kill for them and die for them."

Deinsreb listened to Shao Yun's words and felt something strange. What Shao Yun described did not seem to be completely consistent with the word "love".

"You call this loyalty, not love."

Upon hearing this, Shao Yun shrugged helplessly.

"Loyalty is also an element of love, but some people are willing to be 'loyal' to several or even dozens of people, and they have achieved the goal of having colorful flags flying outside and red flags flying at home. But I don't have that much ability. I'm a stupid guy, and being loyal to just one person is enough."

After listening to this, Dainsreb fell into a brief silence.

He couldn't refute Shao Yun's words because he knew what Shao Yun said was true. He nodded and said, "That makes sense. I have finished asking my questions."

Shao Yun stood up with a relaxed smile on his face.

"My mission is over. You can tell Ying what happens next, the pirate captain's 'relative'!"
