Chapter 22

Then, he will go to Starfell Cliff in Mondstadt to summon Dvalin; as long as the blood of the evil dragon on Dvalin is purified, Dvalin's divine consciousness can be awakened.

The so-called Dragon Calamity will thus come to an end.

He actually spotted the problem with the strings of the Skyward Harp at a glance and even deduced a method to repair the Skyward Harp on the spot.

Barbara: "This..."

Diluc: "Ahem, ahem. Indeed, even in a past life, you, Venti, would still sneak a drink from my tavern."

Zhong Li: "From the current situation, Venti looks completely like a drunkard."

Dvalin: "You don't even have Mora to buy good wine, so you can only drink free wine, poor bard."

Su Bai: "So, a bard's performance doesn't accept Mora, only wine."

Venti: "Please don't say that, Reincarnator. My performance is still quite commendable."

Barbara: "Enough of you! Do you think all the audience are fools? He can do what no one in all of Mondstadt can do; isn't he the Anemo Archon, Barbatos?"

Barbara: "Oh my, the Anemo Archon in my mind is actually this kind of person, instigating the Reincarnator to steal the harp while he runs off to steal wine from Diluc's tavern..."

Kaeya: "So, Jean and Diluc, who went to the Stormterror's Lair with Venti back then, knew Venti's true identity, right?"

Amber: "Jean, the Grand Master?"

Jean: "The Anemo Archon's meaning is that he hopes we do not rely too heavily on his power, so..."

Paimon: "That's completely wrong. The singer just wants to take it easy and ignore his work."

Venti: "Ehe."

Lumine: "@Su Bai, why are you joining in the chat? What, are you very interested in your own reincarnation story?"

Su Bai: "Don't be so strict. In the past life, I handed all the Mora over to you; in this life, I finally have financial freedom, so let me relax a bit."

Yae Miko: "He is indeed a gentle man. In the past life, he handed all the Mora to Lumine to keep. In our Inazuma, it is not popular for women to manage a man's Mora. However, Mr. Su Bai is very right; this life has no connection to the past life. Why not come live in our Inazuma?"

Lumine: "Go to Inazuma and face the thunderous might of the Raiden Shogun; I think you will definitely enjoy it, Reincarnator."

Raiden Ei: "Huh?"

Everything is ready.

At night, everyone decided to rest well and head to Starfell Cliff the next day.

The next day, they arrived at Starfell Cliff.

They felt the breeze of Starfell Cliff once again.

Lumine's face was filled with comfort.

"Did everyone sleep well last night?"

Jean asked with concern.

"Everything is fine."

Venti smiled and spread his hands: "Playing in such a place feels like a reunion of fate."

"Mm! No matter what, we finally see a turning point in the matter."

A smile appeared on Grand Master Jean's face.

During this period, there was the Dragon Calamity, the Shenyuan Sect, and the Fatui.

Jean felt immense pressure.

But the core problem is still Dvalin; as long as Dvalin can be resolved, all problems born around him will vanish into thin air.

"Unfortunately, in the end, it is the bard and the traveler from outside who solve the problem."

Diluc was somewhat speechless.

"Never mind, the Knights of Favonius at least have some merit."

"Alright, alright." Venti interrupted Diluc's complaint and turned his gaze to Su Bai.

"By the way, you rested very well last night, right? There should be no problem."

"Mm..."

Su Bai nodded in response.

Unfortunately, the slightly awkward expression that appeared on his face seemed to have been hit by something Venti said.

Lumine shyly glanced her eyes toward the distance.

Fortunately, the people present did not discover the two's strangeness.

Furina: "It feels like something is happening; will a mutation occur?"

Lumine: "What do you mean?"

Lisa: "Indeed, I feel the atmosphere here is a bit off. Could it be that Mr. Su Bai will drop the ball at such a critical moment?"

Aether: "Hmph! Maybe he will reveal his true face at such a critical moment."

Venti: "True face?"

Todorei: "Take advantage of Venti summoning Dvalin, use techniques to completely control the other party, and then launch an attack on Mondstadt?"

Dvalin: "No way, have I transferred from the hands of the Shenyuan Sect to the hands of the Reincarnator?"

Paimon: "How is that possible? I guess Su Bai just doesn't have enough confidence. Being placed with high expectations also means bearing pressure."

Lumine: "@Su Bai, respected Reincarnator, come out and give a spoiler."

Su Bai: "....."

Su Bai: "I don't have memories of the past life either; how can I tell you?"

Lumine: "Hmph!"

..... Requesting flowers..

..... Requesting tickets.....

..... Requesting data.....

Thank you, thank you, thank you, a million thanks!!!

Chapter 22: Dvalin: Although I've been subdued, I still want to say, get on with something proper

【Venti, holding the Skyward Harp, walks toward the edge of the cliff.】

【Su Bai and the others watch from far behind him.】

【The plan's steps are: Venti summons Dvalin, then communicates with him; once the other's emotions have stabilized somewhat, proceed to the next step — purifying the corrupted dragon blood.】

【Once the corrupted dragon blood is purified, the recovered Dvalin will no longer be under the Shenyuan Sect's mental control.】

【The melodious sound of the harp rises.】

【Under everyone's gaze.】

【Suddenly, a violent gale rises at Starfell Cliff.】

【A massive figure rockets up from the bottom of the cliff.】

【The gale it brings instantly makes it impossible for anyone to keep their eyes open.】

【Until the gale stops.】

【Only then do the others discover that Dvalin has truly appeared before Venti.】

【"It's you. At this point, there's nothing left to talk about."】

【"Is that so? Could I be mistaken? Your eyes seem to be recalling this tune."】

【Venti and Dvalin — one person, one dragon — gaze at each other in silence.】

【Suddenly, a freezing ray of light shoots forth.】

【The sudden sneak attack knocks the Skyward Harp from Venti's hand.】

【In an instant, the green-glowing Skyward Harp loses its luster, the entire body of the harp seeming to wither and dim.】

Amber: "It's a Shenyuan Sect cultist."

Fischl: "A Shenyuan Sect cultist destroyed the Skyward Harp from Barbatos the Anemo Archon's hands?"

Barbara: "...... (faints)"

Jean: "This..."

Yelan: "So careless — could it be that you didn't rest well last night, but instead drank all night?"

Venti: "Hey! That's impossible, I really just let my guard down for a moment."

Dvalin: "Perhaps it's because my eagerness to chat with you was so strong that I failed to notice the Shenyuan Sect cultist's presence."

Eula: "Acting Grand Master Jean, in this life, when you went to carry out missions, did something similar ever happen?"

Jean: "This..."

Kaeya: "It's over. Could this sort of thing affect Mondstadt's image in the eyes of other nations?"
