He crossed his arms, and the eye without the blindfold was closed, as if he were resting.
Perhaps hearing her footsteps, Kaiya opened his eye, looked at her, and asked with a smile in his usual lighthearted and teasing tone, "Commander Qin, did you suddenly send someone to tell me to come back because you have something important to tell me?"
Qin nodded and said, "I have something to ask you. Come in first."
Seeing that Qin's expression was a bit serious, Kaiya also stopped joking, loosened his arms, and followed Qin into the office.
Qin walked behind the desk and sat down.
Kaiya stood in front of the table, waiting for her to speak.
Qin looked at him and gestured for him to sit down as well.
Kaiya frowned slightly. Usually, Jean would just tell him a task, but today she was asking him to sit down and listen carefully. It seemed that this was not a simple matter...
After Kaeya sat down, Jean crossed her arms, lowered her head, and after a moment of thought, said, "It's like this, Amber brought some guests back today."
"Amber?"
Upon hearing the name, Kaiya seemed lost in thought.
"When I passed by the city gate earlier, I heard the guards say that Amber seemed to have returned in a Liyue Celestial chariot. Could it be that what you're talking about is related to the Celestials of Liyue?"
"You're still so perceptive."
Qin looked at him and nodded seriously.
"Gan Yu, the chief secretary of the Liyue Seven Stars, has left Liyue for the first time in thousands of years and gone to Mondstadt."
Kaiya's expression turned serious: "What is her purpose in coming here?"
"She said she came here for a short trip and wanted to relax during the Flower Festival."
Do you believe that reason?
"I'm not entirely convinced, after all, she's a demigod who participated in the war between demons and gods, and served as the chief secretary for thousands of years. In terms of both strength and cunning, she far surpasses me, so I didn't try to test her... However, I've already checked her records. She has the blood of a Qilin, and the Qilin is an auspicious creature, so she probably doesn't mean any harm..."
Kaeya paused for a moment, then said, "She is the auspicious symbol of Liyue, not Mondstadt..."
Qin sighed, "I know, but Gan Yu's situation isn't the most troublesome thing."
"Ok?"
“Gan Yu has a fellow disciple named Shen He, who is also here this time.”
"Shen He... that name sounds familiar..."
“That’s right. Last year, during the Demon God Chaos in Liyue, Shen He, wielding a spear, single-handedly defeated Oser’s wife, Báche.”
"..."
Kaiya fell silent again.
To be able to go toe-to-toe with the demon god's familiars, he is indeed a ruthless person.
"Among them is a seemingly kind old woman, called Granny Ping... but I just checked her file and found that, like Gan Yu, she has lived in Liyue for thousands of years."
"what do you mean……"
"This old man is most likely an immortal as well."
"..."
Kaiya felt the pressure on her body increasing.
Qin said, "And then, there's..."
Kaeya coughed and said, "Chairman Jean, why don't you just finish what you said at once?"
Qin thought for a moment and said, "There is only one zombie named Qiqi. As for the others, they should just be ordinary people with divine eyes."
"What is should?"
"Because I didn't find any detailed information in the archives, I can only guess like this."
"...So, you asked me to come here because you want to?"
“I hope you can keep an eye on them secretly throughout the entire Flower Festival…”
"Farewell!"
"and many more!"
Kaiya gave a wry smile: "No, Captain Jean, I have no ability to stop them."
"It's not that you need to stop them, but rather that you shouldn't let others provoke them. As for them, they probably won't cause any trouble on their own..."
"How can you be sure they won't cause trouble on their own? Just because of the auspicious bloodline in that Secretary Gan Yu?"
"No, it's because of Xiangling. You still remember her, right?"
Kaeya remembered her: "Xiangling? Of course I remember her! Last year, this little girl came all the way from Liyue to train in cooking. She even treated us to meals several times. She's a nice person."
Qin said, "She's among this group too."
"Ok?"
"That Granny Ping was her master."
"...Commander Qin, why didn't you say so earlier!"
Kaiya paused for a moment, then breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"To be able to teach such a disciple, the master must be quite capable as well... Alright, I understand. From now on, I'll make sure they have a smooth trip..."
"By the way, there's one more thing."
"..."
"Among them is a reporter named Charlotte, who is also the editor-in-chief of the Liyue Newspaper. She is currently collecting various tourism materials and planning to do a special report on the Mondstadt Flower Festival. You can try to contact her and present the beautiful side of our Mondstadt to her..."
"...Okay, okay."
Kaiya put one hand to his forehead, and with a look of utter despair, pushed open the door and left.
Jean watched Kaiya's retreating figure and breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's fortunate that the Knights have someone like Kaeya... It's a pity about Diluc... If he were still here... I would probably have more time to read romance novels..."

The large square in front of the West Wind Church.
Everyone has already offered flowers and made wishes to Lord Barbatos, the god of wind.
Just then, someone flew across the sky in a wind-winged vehicle, looking like a nimble, large bird.
Xiangling looked up at the huge stone sculpture of a young girl and whispered, "You don't know, but people can actually climb up to this statue."
Some people were curious: "Go up?"
Xiangling pointed to the girl's huge sash and said, "You can climb all the way up from there. When I came to Mondstadt last year, I saw a bard in green sitting on the palm of a statue playing a harp."
Akabane wondered, "Wouldn't this be considered blasphemy against the idol? Won't that bard get hung up and beaten by the wind god's followers?"
Xiangling shook her head: "Anyway, I saw that no one reacted in any particular way that time. They all thought he played well and even applauded him."
Diona, however, looked thoughtful: "The one in green... the bard... the harp..."
Why does this guy Xiangling is talking about seem so familiar? It's like I've seen someone like him before...
Charlotte's eyes lit up with anticipation: "Why don't we climb up and give it a try? Standing up there, the view must be amazing, and we're sure to be able to take some great landscape photos with the camera!"
Mona observed the surrounding crowd and whispered, "Maybe we shouldn't. After all, we're just travelers from out of town. We don't want to put Leader Qin in a difficult position later..."
Charlotte thought for a moment and then dismissed the idea: "You're right. From another perspective, if a tourist from out of town dared to swim in the Fontainebleau fountain, I would definitely call the police and have her arrested... What a pity... I really wanted to take photos from such a high angle..."
Xiangling pointed in a direction: "Why don't you go climb over that mill over there?"
Charlotte was actually somewhat tempted: "It seems like a good option."
Xia Zhi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't go, I have a better idea."
Charlotte immediately looked at him and asked, "Mr. Charlotte, do you have any good ideas?"
Xia Zhi said, "Actually, I'm preparing to make a few Wind Wings."
The girls' eyes lit up: "Wind Wings?!"
Xia Zhi nodded and said, "Didn't Amber mention that there would be a flying competition during the Windflower Festival last night when we were chatting by the campfire? I wonder if you guys are interested in this competition?"
Several lively girls immediately responded.
"some!"
"But even with the Wings of Wind, you still need a pilot's license to fly, right? I wonder if I can get one in time..."
"I'll ask Amber later; she has Wind Wings and is experienced in this area!"
"Makes sense!"
"By the way, what kind of prize is there if we win first place in the flying competition?"
Xiangling thought for a moment and said, "I heard from Amber that every time she wins the Flying Championship, she gets a sum of Mora and a Flying Championship badge."
"That's it?"
"That's it……"
