A few days later, the warm morning light was like fine gold foil, shining through the gaps between the branches and leaves, and lightly falling into Lin Huan's quiet and elegant courtyard. The traveler and Paimeng were filled with joy and stepped briskly into this small world.

Paimon's round body was like a nimble little cannonball. It flew straight to Lin Huan with a whoosh, and then circled happily not far from her. His bright eyes sparkled with dazzling light, full of irrepressible excitement. His eyes were filled with anticipation as he looked at Lin Huan, and his excitement was hard to conceal in his words: "Ah Huan, I heard that Mondstadt's Wind Flower Festival is about to begin. It must be a prosperous and lively celebration filled with joy and happiness! By then, there will be colorful flowers all around, melodious music will float in the air, and light dances will sway gracefully... You promised to sing for money before, and you will go with me, right?"

Lin Huanjing stood beside the stone table in the courtyard, her figure was graceful, her moon-white robe fluttering in the wind, her sleeves fluttering, like a fairy descending to the earth, her elegant and refined temperament fully revealed. The corners of her mouth slightly raised, a happy smile bloomed, her eyes inadvertently met with the silent but smiling traveler beside her, and after they smiled at each other with understanding, she responded in a crisp and bright tone: "Of course, I promised Teacher Wendy, and I have long been looking forward to traveling with you. However, I plan to bring a friend with me on this trip, I hope you don't mind."

The traveler raised his head slightly, with a bit of curiosity and inquiry in his eyes, and asked softly: "What kind of strange person is Ah Huan's friend?"

A mysterious smile flashed across Lin Huan's eyes, and he blinked playfully, "He is one of the key figures who helped you break through the thunderstorm on the way to Inazuma. As for his identity, I will keep it a secret for now. You will know it when we meet."

Upon hearing this, the traveler frowned slightly, his eyes full of doubts and speculations, but he still nodded gently. In his heart, he couldn't help but secretly speculate about the true identity of this mysterious person. Various possible figures instantly emerged in his mind, but he still couldn't determine who it was.

At this moment, Lin Huan gently raised his hand, tucked a strand of hair behind his ear, smiled and said: "Don't worry, Xiaoying, since I have promised to lend you a helping hand, I will definitely not break my promise. By the way, do you have other companions going to Mond this time?" She tilted her head slightly with a little curiosity, her eyes full of expectation, wondering secretly whether these little companions could understand her and bring more like-minded friends to start this wonderful journey together.

Paimon was like a lively and cute elf. He jumped in front of the traveler and answered eagerly, "Yes, yes, Chef Xiangling is going with us too. She is so excited. She said that this time we are not only collecting folk songs and searching for ingredients, but also a pure spring outing. She has already prepared all kinds of cooking utensils and seasonings, and is just waiting to show off her skills in Mondstadt and cook delicious dishes!"

The traveler smiled and added, "Yes, Xiangling has been talking about this for the past few days. She must cook delicious food in Mondstadt that will amaze everyone. Her enthusiasm is like a burning flame that is hard to stop."

Lin Huan nodded slightly, with a hint of anticipation in her eyes. She seemed to have seen Xiangling busy shuttling in Mond's kitchen, and could smell the tempting aroma that was about to spread. At the same time, she was also imagining the astonished expression of the traveler when he first saw Manye, and a faint smile appeared in her heart, looking forward to their collision of different brilliant sparks during the journey.

On the Death Star of Guyun Pavilion, Wan Ye stood quietly in front of the window, his figure upright, the sun pouring down on him without reservation, outlining a resolute and strong outline. Inside the house, sabers were neatly hung on the wall, exuding a cold and sharp aura. Wan Ye turned around slowly, his eyes showing both deep worry about the situation in Inazuma and infinite longing for the journey that was about to begin. He gently packed his bag, carefully placing his clothes and necessary items one by one, and every movement was orderly, keeping everything in order and neatly packed.

In these days full of anticipation and eager anticipation of departure, Lin Huan in the courtyard, Wan Ye in the distance, the happy traveler and Paimeng, and Xiangling who was busy in the kitchen, each had different thoughts and beautiful aspirations, just like bright stars, shining unique light in their respective orbits, waiting together for the beginning of that wonderful journey.

Finally, the day of departure arrived as scheduled. Lin Huan was wearing a moon-white robe, with her black hair half tied up and only lightly fixed with a warm and transparent jade hairpin. She looked fresh, elegant and extraordinary. She had been waiting at the gate of the courtyard early in the morning, holding a green long sword in her hand. The sword blade was cold and the patterns on the hilt were delicate and exquisite, reflecting her eyes, which were full of expectation and longing.

A moment later, Wan Ye came over with steady and powerful steps. He was still wearing the dark purple clothes, which swayed gently in the wind. The sword on his waist shone coldly and dazzlingly in the morning light. When he saw Lin Huan, he nodded slightly, raised the corners of his mouth, revealed a faint smile, and said softly: "Miss Lin Huan, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

Lin Huan shook his head gently and replied with a gentle smile: "It's okay, I just got here not long ago."

The two walked together, slowly walking towards the agreed place. Along the way, the breeze blew gently, and the flowers and green grass on the street swayed, as if happily seeing them off. Every petal and every leaf seemed to be telling blessings and expectations. Soon, Xiangling, the traveler and Paimon were seen from afar. Xiangling was carrying an extremely large bag, which was filled with pots, pans, and all kinds of strange and bizarre seasonings. She was happily sharing her wonderful imagination of Mondstadt cuisine with the traveler and Paimon, with a blush of excitement and expectation on her face.

The traveler was wearing a light and simple travel outfit, with a sharp sword on his waist. The pattern on the scabbard was simple and mysterious. He looked around with a lively look, not missing any interesting details. Paimon was floating around, chirping non-stop, like a tireless bird, adding a bit of liveliness to the lively scene. Seeing Lin Huan and Wan Ye, the traveler's eyes lit up, and he immediately walked forward with a bright smile on his face: "Ah Huan, we have been waiting for you for a long time!"

Lin Huan smiled and replied: "I was delayed on the way. Sorry to have kept you waiting."

After that, she slightly turned aside and gracefully let Manye beside her, then turned to the traveler and Xiangling, and said solemnly and gently: "This is Fengyuan Manye, he is a distinguished guest of the leader of the Southern Cross Fleet, Beidou, and a traveler from Inazuma. He is one of the key figures I mentioned before who can help us cross the thunderstorm and reach Inazuma. At the same time, he is also a dear friend that Captain Beidou and I cherish together."

Wan Ye bowed slightly, his posture upright, and said humbly and politely: "This must be the heroic traveler who fought side by side with the Liyue Seven Stars and the immortals in the Qun Yu Pavilion and defeated the demon god. I have heard of your great name for a long time. I am Wan Ye, and I hope you can give me your guidance as we travel together."

Xiangling's eyes widened with curiosity, and she looked at Wanye carefully, with a sparkling light in her eyes. She exclaimed: "Wow, I heard from Sister Beidou that you actually faced the Thunder God of Inazuma. That's amazing! I knew you must not be an ordinary person!"

The traveler also smiled and nodded, his eyes revealing a smile and gratitude: "Nice to meet you, Manye, with you...with the help of the Southern Cross Fleet, the journey to Inazuma will surely be much smoother."

With great expectations, everyone embarked on the journey to Mondstadt. Along the way, Manye occasionally told some anecdotes about sea voyages with great interest. Those thrilling stories seemed to have a mysterious magic, which made everyone laugh constantly and the atmosphere was particularly harmonious and joyful. Travelers would also share their past experiences in Mondstadt. Those wonderful adventures and unique customs and practices made Manye more yearning and curious about this country of wind and poetry, and his eyes were shining with longing from time to time.

After arriving in Mondstadt, the warm and cheerful atmosphere of the Wind Flower Festival hit us, as if a strong fragrance surrounded us tightly. The streets were filled with a variety of stalls, colorful flowers, exquisite handicrafts, and special delicacies. People were dressed in bright and colorful clothes, singing and dancing, and their laughter was like lively notes, echoing in every corner of the city, weaving into a joyful movement.

The Traveler and Paimon bid farewell to Lin Huan and Manye briefly, planning to go to the Adventurer's Guild to see if there was anything they could help with during the festive season. Lin Huan smiled and nodded in agreement, watching the two leave, with a sly gleam in his eyes. After all, during the Wind Flower Festival, the people of Mondstadt all have deep love for their important people, and they would not entrust adventurers to personally present the carefully prepared bouquets to their loved ones. Therefore, Lin Huan and Manye leisurely watched the Traveler and Paimon wandering around the streets, but to no avail, and finally could only stand in the square, with their hands on their hips helplessly, looking very cute and interesting.
