The Homeless Man of Teyvat

Time for serious study always flies by.

When Chen Tianfeng finally received the "barely qualified" evaluation from Ye Lan, it was already late autumn in Liyue.

Chen Tianfeng said goodbye to Zhongli, took the medicine, rode a maroon horse, carrying two quilt bags on the horse's back, containing necessary items for the journey and a few changes of clothes, and left Liyue Port from the North City Gate.

The crisp sound of horse hooves dispersed the mist in the late autumn morning.

Chen Tianfeng turned around, took one last look at the bustling Liyue Port, smiled, stopped staying, and drove away.

Qunyu Pavilion,

Ning Guang retracted his gaze and looked at Ye Lan with a playful smile: "I heard you had a lot of fun during this time?"

"Who spread the rumor?" Ye Lan raised her eyebrows and immediately denied it, "I am working, and I am also making sure that your investment will not be wasted."

"Ha, the more important thing is to invest and bet, right? But you are willing to do so, you are very optimistic about him?"

"And you?"

"Of course I am optimistic about him, and I even believe that he can bring back some shocking news."

"Then so do I."

Ye Lan crossed her arms, glanced at the direction where Chen Tianfeng disappeared, and suddenly said: "I want to leave Liyue for a while."

"Huh? Why?" Ningguang frowned.

"Since the storm is coming, there should be signs in other countries, especially Zhi Dong - I even suspect that half of this storm is caused by those paranoid and crazy executives."

Ye Lan said: "So I am going to investigate outside Liyue. The more information Liyue has, the more likely it will be for peace in the storm in the future."

"Don't force it. If there are no clues, come back as soon as possible." Ningguang pondered for a few seconds, but did not persuade her to change her plan: "Liyue and Mondstadt are neighboring countries. I'm worried that the next storm will appear in Liyue."

Ye Lan nodded: "I understand."

"If you find any emergency and you need support, just say so. I will convene the Seven-Star Council if necessary."

Ningguang's tone was calm, but what he said was enough to shock any Liyue person.

"Well, when that happens, I won't be polite."

There was a smile in Ye Lan's eyes, which was another reason why she liked working with Ning Guang: she could trust Ning Guang completely and didn't have to worry about her being held back by hesitation or anything else.

"I am leaving."

Ye Lan waved her hands and was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly paused: "I have another question."

She looked at Ning Guang and asked curiously: "What is that rumor you heard about?"

"rumor?"

"The one you said I had fun with."

"Oh, this." Ning Guang suddenly realized, her beautiful red eyes were filled with an amused smile: "Probably [Liyue's Queen of Dark Night tied up a pretty boy to be the village's father-in-law, trained and played with her every day, she was already happy I don’t know how many years have passed.”

"!!!"

Yelan's face suddenly turned red, her eyes were embarrassed, she gritted her silver teeth, and her voice was cold: "Which bastard made this rumor?!"

"Don't worry, except for a few two or two people, no one else will associate [Liyue's Queen of the Dark Night] with you." Ningguang comforted with a smile: "First of all, Liyue doesn't have anything [Dark Night Queen] Queen]; secondly, the rumored name of [Queen of the Night] is not ‘Yelan’.”

"...This Queen of the Night, shouldn't her name be Kafka?" Ye Lan suddenly thought of something and clenched her fists gradually.

"Eh? How did you know?" Ning Guang was surprised.

"Hehehe... it really is like that..."

Yelan didn't answer, her laughter broke out and was extremely scary.

List! sky! ! maple! ! !

Just wait for me! ! !

······

"Ah!"

Chen Tianfeng rubbed his nose, suspecting that someone was secretly thinking about him - it was most likely Ye Lan who discovered the surprise he had left for her.

"Brother Ma! Run faster, maybe Ye Lan will get angry and chase after you, but you must not let that woman catch you!"

The bay-red horse speeded up very cooperatively, raising a cloud of dust on the official road.

A few days later,

Chen Tianfeng led the horse and walked along the broad lakeside. In the distance, the vague shadow of Wangshu Inn, which seemed to be built on giant trees and rocks, was extremely magnificent.

He raised his head and glanced at the sky, and concluded that unless he drove faster, he would not be able to reach the inn before midnight, so he gave up his thoughts and continued on his way.

There is no need to worry about it, why bother to make Brother Ma work hard anymore.

Chen Tianfeng patted the strong neck of the bay red horse and walked slowly, casually looking for a suitable foothold for the night while admiring the beautiful sunset by the lake.

The setting clouds and the solitary owl fly together, and the autumn water becomes the same color as the sky.

Good scenery always makes people relaxed and happy, forgetting worries and fatigue, stopping and wanting to integrate themselves into this picturesque scenery.

Chen Tianfeng stopped unconsciously, his eyes reflected the color of the sky and water, and he suddenly wanted to go boating on the lake.

"Eh~"

The bay-red horse snorted, lowered his head and took a bite of the snapdragons that grew lushly by the lake. He chewed it with a big mouth and spat it out. Apparently he didn't like the taste of the snapdragons.

Chen Tianfeng came to his senses and continued to lead the horse forward, giving up the idea of ​​rafting.

All my belongings belong to Brother Ma. If someone steals the horse while rafting, or if Brother Ma wants to find his own life and never return, there will really be no place to cry.

The sky was getting dark, and the last glimmer of light on the horizon was swallowed up by the night. Chen Tianfeng finally saw a slightly dilapidated house with a faint light of fire inside.

There are many dilapidated wooden houses like this in the wilds of Liyue. The reason is often that there are monsters in this area, or the landform has changed, and the resources are scarce... In short, it is no longer suitable for living, so the owner moved to a more prosperous and safer place. place.

The wooden house remained, and people traveling in the wilderness had more places to stay.

If the journey is not tight and travelers and caravans have free time, they will find some materials, repair the wooden houses, save some firewood, and at the very least, make up for the wood they use to provide convenience for those who come after them.

Chen Tianfeng also met caravans or lone adventurers, heard many interesting things, and was quite moved by this simple mutual help.

Chen Tianfeng led the horse and approached the wooden house. As expected, there were people inside, about ten or so, who looked like a group of merchants, and three adventurers.

There were some animals parked in front of the wooden house, mainly horses and mules, carrying extremely large packages of goods. It was hard to tell what they were.

About a dozen of them all looked middle-aged. The adventurers were easy to identify. They wore the same clothes and carried swords. They seemed to be members of the same adventure group. They accepted the commission to escort the caravan and were staring at Chen Tianfeng warily.

The rest of them were dressed as businessmen. Judging from the style of their clothes, they should be merchants from Mondstadt.

"Everyone is polite, I am Chen Tianfeng, a traveler from Liyue. I am about to go to Mondstadt. I wonder if I can stay here for one night?"
