Chapter 162 I Reveal My True Colors: I am the Wind God

"Okay, you can open your eyes."

Xu Ning appeared with Goodwin from the teleportation point in the center of the city.

Xu Ning asked Goodwin, "Are you planning to see Gloria first, or report to the Knights of Favonius first?"

Goodwin hesitated for a moment, then replied, "Let's go to the Knights first. I don't want to see her like this."

Xu Ning nodded. "I'll go with you. I'll also explain the whole story to you."

"That concludes the account of how things unfolded..."

After listening to Xu Ning's story, Lisa, who was standing by and listening, laughed and said, "That little drunkard really did a good thing. And you, I really envy you for having such a gentle lover..."

Qin said to Goodwin in a serious tone, "Your actions have in fact constituted the crime of desertion."

"However, I believe that Grand Master Falga's fighting strength will not suffer any major losses because of your absence. Mondstadt is also short of manpower at the moment, so I am temporarily stripping you of your title of elite knight and assigning you to the city guard knights. Do you have any objections?"

Goodwin gave a standard knightly salute and said gratefully, "Thank you for your magnanimity. I have no objection whatsoever."

Qin nodded and said, "Then you should report to the city guard squad tomorrow morning. You can take some time to tidy yourself up and finish up what you have to do tonight."

Goodwin, beaming with delight, exclaimed, "Yes!"

“Xu Ning, it’s getting dark soon. Gloria will be home at eight o’clock. Could you ask her to wait for me a little longer? I’ll wash up and be right there.”

After hearing Xu Ning's affirmative reply, Goodwin quickly ran out.

"The troupe leader is unexpectedly considerate!"

Xu Ning smiled jokingly at Qin, "I hope that one day Commander Qin will share this thoughtfulness with me too!"

Jean smiled and said, "I also have something to tell you. This morning, the Knights of Favonius decided to confer upon you and Kong the title of 'Honorary Knights of Favonius' in gratitude for your contributions to Mondstadt. You will always be a good friend of Mondstadt."

"Please continue to help us find out the truth behind the Wind Dragon incident."

Xu Ning nodded and smiled, "You've even given me a title, how can I not do my best? Don't worry, there will be results soon."

In high spirits, Xu Ning laughed heartily as he left the Knights of Favonius and headed towards Gloria's location.

Gloria could hear Xu Ning's footsteps from afar.

"Xu Ning, you're back. I heard you walk so briskly, you must have gotten those three portions of dandelion seeds, right?"

Xu Ning laughed and said, "You've guessed wrong. I searched all over the place where the wind rises and only found one big dandelion. But it said it would ride the wind and personally bring your thoughts back!"

Gloria stood up excitedly and asked Xu Ning urgently, "Did he say that?"

Xu Ning smiled and said, "Of course, just sit here for a while longer, and he will fly to your side."

Gloria slowly sat down, wiped away the tears of joy on her cheeks, and took out a basket from under the chair, which was filled with a whole basket of bright red apples.

"I have nothing to thank you for, these..."

Xu Ning took the basket and laughed, "Wow, these are apples that even gods love to eat, so I'll accept them without being polite."

As Xu Ning and Qingyi walked towards Mondstadt Cathedral with apples in their mouths, a couple behind them were already embracing tightly.

"Xu Ning, you're here! Hey, I have some apples that I like."

After Wendy greeted him, she exclaimed with delight when she saw the basket in Xu Ning's hand.

"Eat it, consider it as wedding candy for the couple downstairs."

Five people sat on the steps in front of the West Wind Cathedral, munching on sweet apples.

Wendy began, “To awaken Dvalin’s true nature from the nightmares, I must obtain the most precious treasure kept in Mondstadt Cathedral, the lyre once played by Barbatos, the god of the winds, the Sky.”

Xu Ning glanced at Wendy, who was eating her second apple, and asked, "Does getting you the Sky Harp really make Dvalin obey you?"

Wendy laughed, "Of course, it will awaken naturally as soon as I play the poem. What's with that look? I'm telling the truth. What? Looking into my eyes, don't you think I'm particularly trustworthy?"

Xu Ning curled his lip and said, "I don't believe you for a second, you king of slacking off!"

"Let's go in and investigate."

As the group entered the church, Wendy immediately spotted Sister Gotlinde standing at the very front.

"Hey, what luck! I just happened to run into the person in charge. Let me show you how I used my sincerity to move her and get her to take out the Sky Harp."

Wendy rushed to Gotlind in one stride.

"Hello, Sister Sister..."

Xu Ning found a bench and sat down with Qingyi, coldly watching Wendy act cute in various ways.

The woman in green shivered at Wendy's cheesy "Big Sister," and turned to Xu Ning in disbelief, asking, "You mean this person is really the Wind God of Mondstadt?"

Xu Ning covered his face and said, "It's the real deal. Damn, he came clean and revealed his identity as the Wind God, but unfortunately, people still don't recognize him."

As Wendy swaggered over, Qingyi asked, "What's with that smug look on your face?"

Wendy shrugged and said, "You think I couldn't just ask for it directly? Well, that's not my fault. The problem is that these Mondstadt people are so disappointing. They're stingy with swords even for heroes."

"But I've heard some important information: the nun didn't deny that the Sky Harp is kept in this cathedral. Go try again, Kong. If we can't borrow it openly, we'll have to take it by trickery."

A moment later, Kong returned and said, "The nun said that the loan can only be made if the superintendent, the bishop, and representatives of the people agree and sign the documents together."

Wendy chuckled, "Well, there's nothing I can do about that then. Kong, it seems you were granted the title of Honorary Knight of Mondstadt this morning, right?"

Kong said expressionlessly, "And Xu Ning, we were both awarded the title of Honorary Knight. Besides, I don't want to steal anything."

Wendy chuckled and said, "Look at you, you go off-topic as soon as you open your mouth. How can this be called stealing? This is borrowing!"

Kong stared intently at Wendy and asked, "You just said you were Barbatos, the god of wind?"

Wendy scratched her head and laughed, "Oh dear, I think that's what I said..."

Sora nodded. "If you are Barbatos, then retrieving your own things doesn't count as stealing. I can help you."

Wendy slapped her palm and laughed loudly, "Great! So, Xu Ning, what do you say?"

Xu Ning sighed and said, "How can we manage without me? By the way, do you guys really know how to steal?"
