Chapter 625: Paimon and Ying, a day of gossip

The sun shines in front of the door.

Jiang Yi greeted his neighbors Ying and Paimeng with a beaming face.

"Good morning!"

Ying smiled: "Good morning!"

Paimeng looked at Jiang Yi left and right.

"Um--!"

"I feel like you're different today. Let me think..."

After a few seconds,

Paimon's eyes lit up.

"Oh! I see..."

She pointed at Jiang Yi's smile.

"Why...why are you laughing so hard today...hiss..." She stroked her chin and thought for a moment before describing it, "It's like you secretly ate something delicious last night."

The word "delicious" was shouted out loud.

Echoing throughout the street.

Ying looked awkwardly at the neighbors who had poked their heads out.

Jiang Yi stared at Paimeng for a few seconds.

"You think I'm you! I sneak a delicious meal in the middle of the night and then show my tail the next day."

"I'm going to have breakfast with my senior sister. Bye."

He walks with a flutter.

I didn't get to eat the delicious food, but I did get to taste the fragrant, soft and delicious black tea.

"My intuition tells me that something must have happened to him last night." Paimeng looked at Jiang Yi's back and put his hands on his hips in dissatisfaction.

"He must have done something secretly."

Ying held her chin.

"last night……"

"Noelle seems to have gone out with Jiang Yi..."

"Jiang Yi seems to have just returned to Mondstadt this morning."

She walked towards the central street of Mond City and followed Jiang Yi to have breakfast.

"Paimon, let's follow and take a look."

Paimon became interested. "Yes! Let's follow and see."

The two saw Jiang Yi, Pingchang and Shen He sitting in front of the Deer Hunter Restaurant eating.

"There's nothing different!" Paimon scratched his head.

"No!" Ying shook her head. "Paimon, did you hear the voice of the person who just walked by?"

"The girl told the boy that the Star Picking Cliff became strange again last night. They were planning to go to the cliff to see the stars, but as soon as they walked up, they wanted to go down the mountain."

"I also vaguely saw two figures on the top of the cliff."

Paimon turned into a detective: "Suddenly, the thought of going down the mountain came to my mind. It's very familiar. Isn't that the spiritual suggestion that appeared in the meteorite? However, in the dream of the snowy mountain, it was about going up the mountain."

"Mondstadt is peaceful now without any disasters."

"If it wasn't an accident, there is only one culprit."

He looked at Jiang Yi who was eating breakfast.

"it's him."

"Jiang Yi."

Ying suddenly understood: "Okay, the truth is out."

"This guy might have secretly eaten some delicious food last night."

Paimon stamped his feet immediately. "Wow! This guy was just trying to make excuses. No…"

"Ying, are the delicious things you and I were talking about the same thing?"

She turned her head suddenly, and it seemed as if lightning flashed through her mind.

"Two figures, Noelle..."

“Hiss—he…he he he he…”

"Could it be..."

"Hey!"

Paimon glanced sideways and kissed with his hands in an unruly way.

"..." Ying looked at Paimeng, "Probably... about this level."

"For a guy like Jiang Yi who has the desire but not the courage, he would only dare to do this."

Paimon was horrified.

"Ying, could it be that you are thinking of..."

"Shut up! Paimon." Ying interrupted.

The two sneaky men immediately turned around the corner when they realized that they were making too much noise.

"Sister, I was not able to accompany you to visit Mondstadt before. With the hospitality of Noelle, Barbara, Ying and the others, you are now more familiar with several famous places in Mondstadt than I am."

Jiang Yi joked.

"What made you think of having breakfast here?"

Shen He took a bite of Mond potato pancake gracefully.

"It's just because this is where you, my junior brother, worked. This lady named Sarah will tell me some interesting stories about you when she is not busy."

Jiang Yi looked at Miss Sarah and said, "Is that so?"

"Wait, let's go to the Cat's Tail Tavern and buy some flowers..."

Street corner,

Ying and Paimon leaned against the wall.

"I was almost discovered." Paimon patted his chest.

She thought of another thing.

"Speaking of which, Jiang Yi can use mental suggestion, so can he hypnotize people..."

"Ying, we won't be hypnotized one day, will we?"

"If He tells us to go east, we will not go west; if He tells us to go west, we will not go east."

Paimeng shuddered. Why did he feel that Jiang Yi was becoming more and more terrifying?

Sometimes I clearly wasn’t full, but I remembered that I had eaten. Could it be that Jiang Yi did it, hypnotizing me and treating me to dishes created by illusion?

If I had been hypnotized that day and worked for Jiang Yi, I wouldn’t have known it.

"Uh——! It does feel a bit dangerous." Ying shook off the mess in her mind.

"But he probably wouldn't dare..."

Paimon coughed and sighed: "Ying, it turns out that we can only be like the little white rabbit and pray for the mercy of the big bad wolf!"

Ying was speechless for a moment: "Don't think about how bad it is."

"Why don't you pinch yourself hard and see if you are hypnotized?"

"It hurts!" Paimon's eyes were filled with tears.

Ying didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You really want to try?"

"If Jiang Yi hypnotized you, he would definitely just take the pocket money from your boots..."

Paimon's face turned pale and he subconsciously touched his boots.

"Fortunately, I'm still here..."

After scaring Paimon, Ying decided to go see another protagonist of last night.

The fire of curious gossip is already burning in his heart.

"Come on, let's go see Noelle."

The two of them immediately ate breakfast while running towards the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius.

On the way, Paimon asked: "Ying, why are you so motivated to investigate this?"

Without even turning his head, Ying said, "Paimeng, you are the same."

Paimon twisted his body, "Hey, just for gossip?"

Ying: “…So accurate…”

Paimon was covered in starlight, and he flew up the stairs with Ying.

"Here it comes, here it comes, I'm lucky..."

Seeing the girl with silver hair, wearing a red rose and wearing the armor of the Knights of Favonius, the two of them quickly squatted behind the bushes.

Skillfully, concealment is accomplished in an instant.

The two of them slowly raised their heads and watched Noelle walking down the street carrying a box.

"Noel, you look so happy and smiling too." Paimon had a disguise of grass leaves on his head and his eyes followed Noel.

Ying carefully observed Noelle's walk.

Then, his eyes moved up from her feet to Noelle’s fair neck and cheeks.

"There are no traces."

"Is it on the other side?"

"It seems not."

"Hey, hey!" Paimeng suddenly covered his mouth and said to Ying, "Something's going on..."

"Noelle and Barbara met."

On the street, Barbara, who had just finished singing in the morning at the Cathedral of Favonius, went to the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius with documents and met Noelle.

"Good morning, Noelle!" Barbara's smile was as beautiful as a flower, full of youthful vitality. The morning sunshine put her in a good mood for the day.

While walking on the road, they all hummed tunes softly.

"morning!"

Noel was looking at Barbara calmly, but he didn't know what he was thinking about and he lowered his head subconsciously.

"Good morning, Barbara."

The evasive look was hidden by the lowered eyes.

"I really want Jiang Yi to come here quickly to see the scene of these girls meeting each other." Paimeng, who was behind the bushes, watched the fun.

"Barbara, maybe you don't know yet?" Ying guessed.

"Hey, if Noel and Barbara fight, who will Jiang Yi support?" Paimon rubbed his palms.

Ying thought seriously and said, "Let's not talk about who is stronger between Barbara and Noelle, but given their relationship and personalities, they probably won't fight."

"So, Paimon, your assumption does not exist."

"But if a fight breaks out..."

"Barbara and Noelle were both trained by Jiang Yi to have various elemental combat skills."

"Barbara can start with a bubble imprisonment, and can also use healing to detonate water elements in other people's bodies, and can also heal herself. Noelle has unparalleled defense and attack, and can also heal herself. If we fight..."

"Yeah! Although they are both very difficult to deal with, as long as Noelle can get out of the water bubble first, even if Barbara has the handwritten copy of 'Thousand Winds and Clouds' given by Jiang Yi, she will not be able to resist the West Wind Swordsmanship of the Rock Elemental."

Over there, Noelle frowned and looked around, feeling as if someone was watching her and whispering.

"Noelle, you seemed to have gotten up very early today. I wanted to go to your dormitory and call you to exercise together, but I didn't see you?" Barbara asked curiously.

When the sun was rising, she often got up to practice her voice facing the Cider Lake, and then Noelle practiced swordsmanship.

But I didn't meet Noelle today.

“I…I…” Noelle felt her brain evaporate.

Oh no, in front of Barbara, all I can think about now is Jiang Yi’s face.

"I... have something to do..."

The tips of her ears turned slightly red.

“Is that so—!” Barbara looked at Noelle suspiciously.

"Tomorrow... let's practice together tomorrow." Noelle walked quickly, "Let's quickly deliver the things to the Knights of Favonius."

"Okay!" Barbara walked briskly side by side with Noel.

"What a pity, what a pity. I should have called Jiang Yi over." Paimeng watched the two people leave and stomped his feet in the grass.

"Paimeng, do you have a grudge against Jiang Yi?" Ying crossed his arms and glanced at him.

"Haha..." Paimon scratched his head. "I can only wonder how Jiang Yi, who wants everything, would handle this kind of situation. Give him a little bit, a small test."

"Because there will be more people in the future, he will be caught off guard when he encounters them and won't know what to do."

Ying raised the corners of her mouth and smiled: "So, you are thinking about Jiang Yi!"

"Want me to tell him?"

Paimeng was so frightened that his body froze: "No, no, no! Don't do that! Someone will die."

"After two days, you'll really only see me in the pot."

Ying licked her lips: "Then I'll share a bite."

"Wow! Ying!" Paimon folded his hands, "Don't make such a horrible joke."

"You weren't the one who opened it first." Ying smiled.

"Okay, what are we going to do next?"

Paimon thought for a moment and said, "We are free today. Should we go see Amber?"

"But even if Amber knew, she wouldn't have any strange reaction. At most, she would be startled and blush."

There were footsteps.

"You two, what are you talking about?"

"The Knight of Favonius said that someone was sneaking around. What a misunderstanding."

"Honorary Knight and Paimon."

The elusive Kaia suddenly appears.

"Who is sneaking around..." Paimon refused to admit it.

"Something seems to have happened at the Star-Picking Cliff. Two outstanding members of the Adventurer's Association, capable members of Mondstadt's logistics department." Kaia said with a smile, "Do you have any clues?"

"Star-Picking Cliff?" Ying raised her hand and stepped back.

Paimon looked at Ying and shook his head: "Hehe!"

"Paimon... I don't know."

"Kaiya, go investigate on your own!"

Kaia, wearing a dark eye mask, smiled meaningfully: "Is that so? That's a pity, I can only investigate it myself..."
