Chapter 610

"Klee, then Dad is leaving."

"Dad..."

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

After spending a few days together, Klee liked this father very much.

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

Could Jiang Yan not keep up?

Klee's older half-sister, Jiang Xinyu, was thousands of times more formidable as a child than Klee is now.

Compared to the young Jiang Xinyu, the extent of Klee's troublemaking was merely skin deep.

Even now, in her teens, Jiang Xinyu could reach a realm that made the immortals feel fear.

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

Feeling Klee's trembling small body in his arms, Jiang Yan could sense that Klee had already accepted that he was her father.

Moreover, the little Klee now was very reluctant to part with him.

"Klee, be good. After Dad meets Mom, we will come back to see you together."

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

"Okay, Klee will definitely be very good and wait here for Mom and Dad to return."

Klee nodded, speaking to Jiang Yan with tear-filled eyes.

"Mm."

Jiang Yan nodded, then handed Klee over to Jean.

Amidst the gazes of everyone, Jiang Yan pushed off the ground with his toes and shot up into the sky.

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

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

Jean looked at the dejected little Klee below and gently comforted her.

"Mm!"

Klee nodded, then the members of the Knights of Favonius returned to Mondstadt.

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

At this moment, Barbatos was lying on the great tree at the Windrise, holding a wine jar in his hands, guzzling it down mouthful after mouthful.

"Burp! You're here!"

Barbatos looked at Jiang Yan landing before the tree and said to him with a smile.

"Care for a drink?"

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

"Going to find Alice?"

Barbatos was not at all surprised by Jiang Yan's refusal, saying only indifferently.

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

"Mm~ That's true."

Barbatos nodded and asked Jiang Yan:

"Don't you need to return to Liyue first?"

"After all, the one in your family is waiting for you to explain."

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

"You really have the nerve to say that."

"If you hadn't insisted on bringing it up at the banquet, could Ganyu have heard?"

"Now look, I'm made out to be a scumbag who seduces and abandons, yet I don't even know what happened."

Jiang Yan looked at Barbatos with considerable resentment.

"Hehe!"

Barbatos glanced away into the distance, avoiding Jiang Yan's gaze, and chuckled.

"Alright, I won't waste any more idle words with you."

Jiang Yan sighed lightly and said.

"Returning to Liyue first is definite; these matters must be made clear to Ganyu."

"By the way, I helped you suppress Dvalin; for the next month or two, it won't be easy for it to cause trouble."

"When the time comes, someone will resolve it for you."

Jiang Yan spoke indifferently, and Barbatos's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Eh? Really?"

"Someone would be so kind?"

Hearing Barbatos's words, Jiang Yan smiled helplessly.

"Of course, could I lie to you?"

"I don't know what you were thinking; clearly, you could have resolved this matter yourself, and it wouldn't have been too difficult."

"Sigh, no choice, that guy Dvalin holds a deep grudge against me."

Barbatos said with some helplessness as well.

Dvalin's grudge against his own drunken Anemo Archon who is always slacking off is not just deep; it is profound.

Every time Barbatos wanted to comfort Dvalin, Dvalin would roar directly at him upon meeting and refuse Barbatos's comfort.

It seems this is the reason in the plot where Barbatos finally managed to comfort Dvalin, only for the Traveler to disturb everything, rendering all previous efforts useless and angering him so much his braids lit up.

Tevlin had finally managed to listen to his words, only to have all that progress ruined by this interruption; anyone would be angry.

"That's your own fault, okay? Who told you to do nothing good all day and slack off every single day?"

Jiang Yan looked at Barbatos's aggrieved expression and felt like laughing.

Slacking off finally led to being slacked off by; Barbatos, you deserve it!

"Don't say it like that, or I'll be very sad."

Barbatos chuckled, with not a hint of sadness detectable in his tone.

"Come on, I'm leaving; you drink slowly."

Jiang Yan waved his hand; Barbatos did not insist on keeping him, merely waving back.

"Then good luck to you, bye?"

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

Jiang Yan looked at Barbatos and spoke the most classic line in Mondstadt.

"Ehe, protection isn't necessary..."

Barbatos gave an awkward smile.
