"Jiang Yan, since you've come to Mondstadt, why didn't you tell me?"

"If I hadn't happened to come to the restaurant for a meal, I really wouldn't have known you had already arrived."

Venti looked at Jiang Yan with a hint of grievance, found a seat, and sat beside them.

"Didn't I just arrive at Jingfugang today?"

Jiang Yan shrugged and pointed at Barbatos, saying:

"I haven't even had time to send you a notice yet; I was just dragged away by him."

Hearing Jiang Yan's words, Venti also helplessly looked toward Barbatos.

"You..."

Venti shook his head and joked with a smile:

"Just now, our great Anemo Archon was on the verge of falling into the pit of performing for money to pay off debts~"

"Wuwuwu, Venti~ This time, I really owe it all to you..."

Barbatos grabbed Venti's hand and spoke in a pitiful manner.

"Who told you that when '273' I wanted to give you money, you refused?"

Venti rolled his eyes.

Others didn't know he was Barbatos, but as Barbatos's close friend, Venti certainly knew.

Since the Early Mondstadt period, Barbatos had returned political power to the people.

Because Barbatos loved to drink alcohol but had no money of his own.

In order to be able to buy alcohol, Barbatos would often go to certain taverns to recite poetry and sing, exchanging it for some income to buy alcohol to drink.

Venti certainly couldn't bear to see that.

As the Anemo Archon of Mondstadt, what kind of thing is it to go to a bar and sing for money?

So initially, Venti wanted to directly give Barbatos money so he wouldn't go to such places to sing for money anymore.

But Barbatos refused, even saying that alcohol earned through labor tastes the best...

Listening to Venti's story, Jiang Yan also helplessly looked at Barbatos.

This kid is truly unique.

"Let's see if you dare to blindly treat guests next time; I thought you had so much money."

Jiang Yan teased Barbatos.

"Ehe!"

Barbatos chuckled.

After finishing lunch, Venti and Barbatos took Jiang Yan to thoroughly tour Mondstadt City again.

Because the people of the Liyue Qixing and the Millelith were still at Jingfugang, Jiang Yan's solo trip this time did not count as a state visit.

Only when he brings the Qixing people tomorrow will the state visit activities truly begin.

Now, Jiang Yan is just visiting Mondstadt City as a friend of two people.

Time passed quickly; in the blink of an eye, evening had already arrived.
