Chapter 3: Return to Mondstadt, Diluc's Pursuit
In the dimly lit warehouse, Xia Wei was overhauling the ruins of the Red Spider, which had not been used for too long.
Yesterday Yae Miko promised that the materials would be prepared in five days, so that he could return to Mondstadt during this time, which happened to be a long time since he had returned.
After testing the elemental force and finding that there was nothing wrong, Xia Wei walked out of the warehouse and found Shenhe who was chatting with Yoimiya outside.
"Let's go, Shenhe, haven't you always been curious about Mondstadt? I'm taking you on a trip back to Mondstadt today. Xia Wei said with a smile.
Shenhe was a little excited to get on the ruins red spider, and at the same time said goodbye to Yoimiya.
"It's a pity, if I have time, I'll have to go to Mondstadt with you, I'm curious about it." Yoimiya said with some regret.
Xia Wei smiled, "I'll take you to see it next time I have time." ”
After saying that, Xia Wei activated the ruin red spider, and with a burst of fire attribute elemental power erupted, the ruin red spider flew into the sky.
For this trip, Xia Wei even put a lightning protection coating on the ruins red spider, so that he didn't have to worry about being suddenly cracked by thunder when flying in the sky of Inazuma.
"Xia Wei, I don't know much about Mondstadt's etiquette, can you tell me about it?"
In the sky, Shenhe asked Xia Wei with some concern.
Xia Wei was driving the ruins red spider while talking to Shenhe.

Knights of Favonius
"Good morning, Captain Jean!"
Klee obediently put her hand on her chest and greeted Jean.
Jean, who was working on the papers, turned to look at Klee and asked, "Klee, are you in trouble again?" ”
Klee hurriedly shook her head.
"No, no! Captain Jean! Klee was just thinking that the hot spring festival was coming soon, could Captain Jean accompany Klee and go to the hot springs with Klee? Klee asked expectantly.
Jean looked at the pile of papers on the table, a little distressed.
"I'm sorry, Klee, I'm..."
Just when Qin wanted to refuse, Xia Wei knocked on the door and then pushed the door and walked in.
"Yo, don't you even have time to play with the children?"
Xia Wei greeted Qin warmly, he hadn't seen Xia Wei for a long time, Qin was a little surprised and a little happy to see him.
"How did you get back? Diluc has been talking about you lately, saying that he wants to ask you something. ”
Xia Weiyan's expression froze when he heard this.
"Ahem, I don't think there's anything to ask me, I just heard you talk about the Hot Springs Festival, what is the Hot Springs Festival like in Mondstadt?" Xia Wei changed the subject.
Jean thought about it for a moment, but before she could speak, Klee interjected, "Mondstadt's Hot Springs Festival is all about bathing together!" You also have a lot of hot spring food. ”
"That's right, Xia Wei, aren't you also interested?" Jean asked with a smile.
"Isn't it rare to come back, just in time for the hot spring festival, I want to take my girlfriend for a visit." Xia Wei said and pointed to Shenhe who was standing at the door.
Shenhe turned his head and glanced at Qin, feeling a sense of crisis.
Jean didn't think anything of it.
"Welcome to Mondstadt, have a great time at the Hot Springs Festival, I still have papers to deal with, or you can bring Klee along."
Shenhe glanced at Xia Wei and then at Klee, thinking that Xia Wei should not be so beastly, so he nodded at Xia Wei.
Xia Wei also stretched out his hand to Klee.
"Come on, Klee, do you want to go shopping with us?"
Klee reached out trustingly, because she knew what kind of person Xia Wei was, so she was very relieved.
Xia Wei looked at Shenhe in front of the head of Qin's office, and felt inexplicably a sense of family.
Shenhe also felt that if he could have a group of babies with Xia Wei in the future, he would definitely be happier.
The three of them left the Order and walked down the streets of Mondstadt, which at the moment was a different scene than the Windflower Festival.
The food items sold by the street vendors and the special uniforms they wear.
However, Xia Wei is very curious, since it is a hot spring festival, where is the hot spring.
"Klee, where is the hot springs in Mondstadt?"
With an innocent smile on her face, Klee said, "There are many hot springs in Mondstadt, but they are all dug up by adults, and they are only heated by elemental power crystals, but they are also very comfortable to soak.
The Wind Heights, the Whispering Forest, the Wolf Collar, and the Snow Mountains all have hot spring spots, and the people of the Adventurers' Guild are there. ”
Xia Wei thought about it, if it was him and Shenhe who took a hot spring together...
"Shenhe, how about I take you to Cangfeng Heights?"
Shenhe was about to nod when he saw a red-haired man standing on the road in front of him, holding a black mask in his hand.
"Mysterious masked man, you can't go anywhere!" Diluc said with a sneer.
According to the information transferred back from the organization, Xia Wei appeared in Solstice not long ago, and he had not heard of this person before, and this person had no family in Solstice.
Then there is only one person who knows those things except him - the mysterious masked man!
Xia Wei looked at the sneering Diluc and pushed back two steps, while Shenhe stopped in front of Xia Wei.
"I won't allow you to hurt Xia Wei."
"Heh, obviously I came first, you give me a flash, let me put a mask on his face, let him remember who he really is."
At this moment, Diluc's face once again bloomed with the smile he had before, and Xia Wei had the illusion that it was... Diluc is still the same Sunshine Boy he was five years ago.
Seeing that Diluc was about to walk towards Xia Wei step by step, Shenhe directly picked up Xia Wei and ran away with Klee in his arms.
Because this should be Xia Wei's friend, Shenhe didn't want to do anything to him, so he had to run away.
"Heh, I said, you can't go anywhere today."
Diluc clapped his palms, and Kaeya, wearing a pirate blindfold, rushed out of an alley.
"Mr. Xia Wei, why are you in such a hurry? Thank you for saving your father many years ago, why don't you sit down and drink tea first? Kaeya said with a smile.
Shenhe frowned, then stepped on the ground and jumped directly into the air.
Kaeya didn't panic at all, because as long as Xia Wei was in Mondstadt, he would be found by the Knights of Favonius all over Mondstadt.

"Klee has never played such an exciting game of hide and seek, are we hiding from strange adults?" Klee said excitedly.
Xia Wei tried his best to lie on the ground to ensure that he was not discovered.
"Klee, be quiet, that strange adult is amazing, and if you catch him, it's over."
Hearing this, Klee immediately learned Xia Wei's movements and lay down, while Shenhe was lying next to Xia Wei.
"What's your relationship with that red-haired man?"
Seeing Shenhe's suspicious eyes, Xia Wei was stunned.
"My crane, do you think I'm dealing with him?"
"I feel that his feelings for you are not ordinary, and I am worried that you will sink."
Hearing Shenhe's words, Xia Wei couldn't help laughing.
