Chapter 237

"Hey! Barbatos!"

Jiang Yan looked at him with a smile.

"What, have you come to see me off?"

Barbatos sat on a tree branch, smiling and nodding.

"When a friend leaves, naturally one must personally see them off, is that not so?"

"Hehe, you fellow, you didn't show your face for two days, and only now that I'm leaving do you appear."

Jiang Yan looked at him somewhat helplessly.

"Ehe! Really? I remember appearing quite a few times, you know?"

Barbatos chuckled, trying to get away with being cute.

"Hehe, I don't recall that."

Jiang Yan shook his head; Barbatos's personality was like that, so what could he do?

"Alright, this visit to Mondstadt is considered over. Come to Liyue for a drink when you have time."

Jiang Yan said this to Barbatos.

"Eh? Really?"

Upon hearing "drink," Barbatos's eyes immediately lit up.

"I actually have quite a bit of free time right now."

"You fellow..."

Jiang Yan truly had a headache.

"Wait a few more days; by then I'll organize one, guaranteeing you can drink to your heart's content."

Barbatos chuckled and said:

"Then I'll wait for your good news."

Jiang Yan smiled and nodded. "Well then, I'll be off first."

"Mm-hmm! Have a safe journey!"

Barbatos waved to Jiang Yan, and Jiang Yan turned around to head in the direction the Millelith had departed.

The journey proceeded quickly; in merely half a day, Jiang Yan and the others arrived at the location of Stone Gate.

Jiang Yan did not deploy the wooden puppet; after all, this time they were entering Liyue, and he could not break the rules he himself had set.

Due to trade issues, Jiang Yan had stationed permanent Millelith forces at various borders of Liyue to guard against people with ulterior motives bringing strange things into Liyue.

Arriving before Stone Gate, two Millelith soldiers stood there; seeing the imposing momentum and large number of people approaching, Solemn expressions appeared in both their eyes.

But upon clearly seeing that the newcomers were also wearing Millelith armor, both of them almost simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.

Scared to death; turns out they were one of us.

As the crowd gradually drew closer, these two finally clearly saw the person walking at the very front.

Silver hair, pointed ears, and a huge cloak draped behind him.

The two exchanged a glance, and excitement appeared in both their eyes.

"Immortal Lord!"

"The Immortal Lord has returned!"

Walking forward quickly, the two planted their spears on the ground and respectfully bowed to Jiang Yan.

"Millelith Gui Li Army, Stone Gate Garrison Department, greets the Immortal Lord!"

Jiang Yan nodded, looking at their muscular bodies, and patted their shoulders.

"Excellent! Even while executing garrison duties, your usual training has not been neglected."

Excitement appeared in both their eyes.

The Immortal Lord praised us!

The Immortal Lord praised us!!!

When we return, we must brag properly to that group!

"Alright, go fulfill your garrison duties first."

Jiang Yan said with a smile:

"Even I must strictly abide by the laws of Liyue!"

"Yes!"

The two soldiers exchanged a glance and stood at attention solemnly.

Afterwards, after inspecting the supplies Jiang Yan and the others had brought back, they said to Jiang Yan:

"Immortal Lord my lord, there are no problems whatsoever."

"You may enter Liyue!"

Excellent, excellent; the inspection was quite strict!

Jiang Yan smiled and nodded, then said to the person beside him:

"Let's go!"

Saying this, the group entered the Liyue Realm in a grand procession.

After crossing the border, Jiang Yan had no further thoughts and simply clapped his hands together.

A huge wooden puppet appeared from the empty ground.

After ensuring everyone had entered the wooden puppet's palm, Jiang Yan controlled the puppet to fly, heading towards the direction of Liyue Harbor.

Jiang Yan's flying speed was very fast; after all, he had not returned to Liyue for a full two years.

He missed it very much!

Soon, Jiang Yan caught sight of the silhouette of Liyue Harbor.

And everyone sitting on the wooden man's hands also showed expressions of joy.

After all, it wasn't just Jiang Yan; these people also hadn't returned for two years.

Though the outside world is vast enough, no place compares to their hometown, Liyue.

And Morax had received news from Barbatos as early as when Jiang Yan was still in Mondstadt, saying that Jiang Yan had already set out toward Liyue.

To give everyone a surprise, Morax notified no one and arrived at the summit of Mount Tianheng very early to wait.

Seeing the wooden man flying over, Morax also showed a smile.

At the same time, Jiang Yan saw him too.

Boom!

The giant crashed down to the ground, and Jiang Yan leaped from the wooden man's head, soaring up to the summit of Mount Tianheng.

"Yaya, isn't this our Archon~"

"After so much time, your bearing remains unchanged!"

Morax, looking at Jiang Yan's grinning face, also showed a smile.

He really hasn't changed a bit at all...

"Welcome back, old friend."

Morax said softly.

Jiang Yan chuckled and embraced Morax.

In two years, Jiang Yan successfully visited six nations, formally displaying Liyue's might before all the countries.

At the same time, this also declared that the visit had concluded successfully!
