Chapter 291

"Klee, Daddy is leaving now."

"Daddy..."

Little Klee looked at Jiang Yan with teary eyes, then threw herself into Jiang Yan's arms.

After a few days of getting along, Klee really liked this daddy.

Gentle, considerate, and able to keep up with many of Klee's strange and whimsical ideas.

And how could Jiang Yan not keep up?

Klee's half-sister, Jiang Xinyu, was countless times more formidable than Klee is now when she was young.

The extent of Klee's trouble-making was just a drop in the bucket compared to young Jiang Xinyu.

Jiang Xinyu was able to reach a level where even now, in her teens, she could still make the various Adepti feel lingering fear.

This is enough to show how terrifying Jiang Xinyu was back then.

Feeling the trembling little body of Klee in his arms, Jiang Yan could feel that Klee had now accepted that he was her father.

And, little Klee was very reluctant to let him go now.

"Klee, be good. After Daddy sees Mommy, I will come back to see you with Mommy."

Jiang Yan gently stroked Klee's soft hair and said softly.

"Okay, Klee will definitely be very good and wait here for Daddy and Mommy to come back."

Klee nodded, saying to Jiang Yan with teary eyes.

"Mm."

Jiang Yan nodded, then handed Klee over to Jean.

Amidst everyone's gaze, Jiang Yan tapped his toes on the ground and shot up into the sky.

"Alright, little Klee, let's go back too."

"Your daddy won't be gone for too long."

Jean looked at little Klee's dejected appearance below and comforted her gently.

"Mm!"

Klee nodded, and then everyone from the Knights of Favonius returned to the City of Mondstadt.

On the other side, Jiang Yan flew directly to Windrise.

At this moment, Barbatos was lying on the big tree in Windrise, holding a wine jar in his hand, gulping it down.

"Hic! You're here!"

Barbatos looked at Jiang Yan, who had landed in front of the tree, and said to him with a smile.

"Want to have a drink?"

Jiang Yan looked at the wine jar, shook his head gently, and refused Barbatos's offer.

"Going to find Alice?"

Barbatos was not surprised by Jiang Yan's refusal, just saying faintly.

"Mm, after all, Klee's matter, in the end, still needs to be clarified."

"Mm~ that's true."

Barbatos nodded and asked Jiang Yan:

"Aren't you going to return to Liyue first?"

"After all, the one at your home is still waiting for your explanation."

Hearing Barbatos's question, Jiang Yan couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"You really have the nerve to say that."

"If it weren't for you insisting on bringing it up at the banquet, would Ganyu have heard it?"

"Now it's great, I'm made to look like a scumbag who abandons his partner, but I don't even know what happened."

Jiang Yan looked at Barbatos with quite a bit of resentment.

"Ehe!"

Barbatos cast his gaze into the distance, avoiding Jiang Yan's eyes, and chuckled.

"Enough, I won't waste any more breath with you."

Jiang Yan sighed softly and said.

"Returning to Liyue first is a must; these things need to be explained clearly to Ganyu."

"By the way, I suppressed Dvalin for you; it won't be able to stir up trouble for the next month or two."

"By then, someone will take care of it for you."

Jiang Yan said faintly, and Barbatos's eyes lit up suddenly.

"Eh? Really?"

"Someone would be so kind?"

Hearing Barbatos's words, Jiang Yan smiled helplessly.

"Of course, would I lie to you?"

"I don't know what you're thinking; it's not like it would be too difficult for you to solve this matter yourself."

"Sigh, there's no helping it; that guy Dvalin has deep prejudices against me."

Barbatos also said with some helplessness.

Dvalin's prejudice against this drunken Anemo Archon who is always slacking off is not just ordinary deep.

Every time Barbatos wants to soothe Dvalin, Dvalin just roars at him upon meeting and refuses Barbatos's comfort.

It seems this is why, in the plot, Barbatos finally managed to soothe Dvalin, but was interrupted by the Traveler, causing all previous efforts to be wasted, and he was so angry his braids glowed.

Dvalin finally managed to listen to his words, but was interrupted and all efforts were wasted; anyone would be angry.

"That's your own fault, alright? Who told you to not do good things all day and slack off every day."

Jiang Yan wanted to laugh looking at Barbatos's aggrieved appearance.

Slacking off eventually leads to trouble; Barbatos, you deserve it!

"Don't say that about me; I'll be very sad if you say that."

Barbatos chuckled, with no hint of sadness in his tone at all.

"Forget it, I'm leaving, you drink slowly."

Jiang Yan waved his hand, and Barbatos didn't try to keep him too much, just waved his hand at him.

"Then I wish you good luck, bye-bye?"

"Heh, how do you wish me luck? May the Anemo Archon fool me?"

Jiang Yan looked at Barbatos and said the most classic phrase in the City of Mondstadt.

"Ehe, the blessing part is unnecessary..."

Barbatos smiled awkwardly.

After bidding farewell to Barbatos, Jiang Yan opened a portal directly and arrived at the summit of Mount Tianheng.

Looking at the prosperous and busy Liyue Harbor in front of him, Jiang Yan took a deep breath and then exhaled heavily.

Mm, the feeling of Liyue Harbor is still more comfortable.

Perhaps because he was used to staying there, Jiang Yan did indeed have a strange feeling in the free and loose atmosphere of Mondstadt.

He couldn't say what was wrong, maybe it was just because he wasn't used to it.

After stretching and loosening up his body, Jiang Yan arrived at Yujing Terrace.

It was already morning, and Ganyu should be working at Yuehai Pavilion now.

Jiang Yan felt it was necessary to tell Ganyu about going to find Alice and Klee first.

After all, Ganyu was also present when Barbatos mentioned this matter during the Lantern Rite.

And she heard it clearly.

Even if Jiang Yan wanted to hide it, he couldn't.

But there was no need to hide it either.

Jiang Yan did not intend to have any secrets from Ganyu regarding his feelings.
