Chapter 438

【Lumine: Wait! A novel written by Xingqiu, a Liyue person, and yet you Liyue people don't know, but everyone in Inazuma knows it?? (Surprised. jpg)】

【Xiangling: This...】

【Hu Tao: *Cough cough*...】

【Chongyun: Really don't know...】

Being told this by Lumine, the three felt a bit embarrassed.

And Xingqiu, seeing this, felt a bit helpless.

Facing this situation, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Originally, he wanted to keep it a secret.

But now that his identity was exposed, he might as well just explain it clearly.

【Xingqiu: Actually, it's like this.】

【Xingqiu: I wrote a martial arts novel based on my own experiences, which is "A Legend of Sword." But it was rejected by Liyue publishing houses because the setting was considered too outrageous and the plot too cliché.】

【Xingqiu: I wasn't convinced at the time, thinking the publishers had poor judgment, so I secretly printed a few copies and put them in Wanwen Bookhouse.】

【Xingqiu: As a result, really no one read them...】

【Xingqiu: As for the later situation, I'm not too sure. I just learned later that it became a big hit in Inazuma.】

【Yae Miko: The later situation is like this: an Inazuma merchant saw this book while passing through Liyue, thought it was good, and brought it back to Inazuma.】

【Yae Miko: Perhaps it suited the tastes of the Inazuma people, and it instantly became a big hit.】

Seeing this, the people in the chat group were suddenly enlightened.

So that's how it is!

One's own book is not liked by people in one's own country, but is sought after by people in other countries.

This situation~

But you can't blame anyone.

After all, reading is a matter of taste!

It can only be said that this "A Legend of Sword" really attracted the Inazuma people!

After clarifying this matter, another question was placed before everyone.

That is, others didn't know Xingqiu's identity, so how did Venti know?

Thinking of this,

【Xingqiu: Venti, Your Excellency Anemo Archon, how did you know my pen name?】

【Venti: Ah? I don't know~】

【Hu Tao: Looking at it this way, perhaps it was met at a future light novel fan meeting.】

【Nahida: Light novel fan meeting? Didn't you just say this book was published in Inazuma? Perhaps an event like that was held there later, and then Predecessor Barbatos went.】

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Eh?

Seems like that's really the case!

First go to Liyue, then go to Inazuma.

This Anemo Archon is truly free~

However, the Inazuma people's eyebrows twitched wildly.

You have to know, in the previous frivolous review on the light screen, this guy had been causing all kinds of trouble in Inazuma!

Although it was a frivolous review!

But this person is Barbatos!

Maybe he really could do some bizarre things!

So,

【Ei: Barbatos, if you want to come to Inazuma, I want to make a three-point agreement with you!】

【Ei: No stealing dogs, no carrying Inazuma people and running, no plotting against my Musou Isshin! By the way, no drinking alcohol either!】

【Kamisato Ayato: Her Excellency the Shogun is right!】

Jean, Barbara, and these Mondstadt people saw these statements and immediately covered their faces.

Has their own Anemo Archon's reputation become this bad?

Before even going to other countries, he has already been restricted in various ways.

But they were embarrassed to defend Lord Barbatos.

Because this is indeed something that could happen...

【Venti: ……】

【Venti: Protest! This isn't a three-point agreement, it's clearly four points! And I'm clearly a serious person, how could I do such things?】

【Ei: Oh, then it's a four-point agreement!】

【Ei: As for whether you are serious or not, I don't know, but in the light screen, you did indeed do those things!】

【Venti: ……】

Oh no~

Reputation damaged~

Of course, whether it's really damaged, only he knows!

【Venti: *Cough cough*, Beelzebul, we are old friends too. Look, how about this, I will abide by the first three, but for the last one about drinking, can you be a bit lenient~】

【Venti: Ehe, not being able to taste the fine wine of your Inazuma is truly a huge loss!】

Ei saw this, pondered for a moment, and spoke.

【Ei: Fine, you can drink! But limited! After you leave, I will send you some wine!】

【Venti: Ehe, thanks~】

Hearing that he could drink again, Venti felt happy.

As for the limit?

We'll talk about that later~

……

After discussing this topic, everyone didn't forget the current focus.

So they shifted their attention back again.

…

In the light screen.

After Venti covered it up with high emotional intelligence, he looked at Zhongli sitting on the side with a faint gaze.

Zhongli dodged his eyes when he saw this.

He coughed twice and then looked over too.

"*Cough cough*, so this is an acquaintance of Young Master Xingqiu?"

"Yes!"

"And Xiao should recognize me too, right?"

"We just chatted not long ago~"

As he spoke, Venti turned to look at Xiao sitting on the other side.

Xiao: "..."

Looking at Venti's gaze, Xiao's expression twitched.

Finally, after trying hard to organize his words, he said helplessly.

"Yes, yes!"

"As the end of the year approaches, the closer it gets to the Lantern Rite, the more restless the evil spirits become."

"On the eve of the festival, I happened to be patrolling in the Dihua Marsh area, and then I happened to meet this, this..."

Speaking of this, Xiao looked at Venti and was speechless.

Unlike the Geo Archon, he didn't know the current identity of this Anemo Archon.

What if he said the wrong thing and exposed him?

Venti saw this and understood in a second, so he feigned helplessness and reminded him.

"Forgot after just a few days?"

"My profession is a bard, you know~"
