Lu Ze quickly returned to the shop and saw a panting Kiana. *No way, that fast? How long has it been? It only took me less than ten minutes to go from the shop to Tenryou Commission.*
*Talking for at most ten minutes, and you're done in 20 minutes?*
A hint of doubt arose in his heart, but seeing Kiana's exhaustion, he didn't know what to do.
"Lu Ze... the task you assigned... I've completed it. Isn't it just... notifying a few people? Easy peasy. Here, check if anything's missing?"
Lu Ze's eyebrows shot up. He took the notebook with his right hand. The first page was entirely ticked off, but the second page... hmm, why was it still empty?
"I say, Kiana... is there a possibility? That the names aren't just on one page, but on many pages..."
Lu Ze's intermittent voice made Kiana slightly stunned. *Many pages? Could it be...*
With a slightly trembling right hand, Kiana took the notebook and looked at the second page. Indeed, there were still many names, and the parentheses behind them were not ticked. She had thought there was only one page of names...
"Lu Ze... if you don't give me a good reward, I, Kiana Kaslana... will fight you to the death..."
Before she could finish, Lu Ze rewarded her with action. He lunged forward. Perhaps the emotions were too intense, and the two little soldiers were entangled in a fierce struggle, occasionally entwining and launching fierce attacks.
Before long, one of the little soldiers was defeated and could only be slaughtered.
"Mmph!"
Kiana patted Lu Ze's chest hard. The attack was too fierce, and she couldn't take it. Time passed without her knowing.
It was only after a while that Lu Ze slowly raised his head, exhaled a breath of hot air, and said:
"How was it? My Lady Kiana, are you unhappy with this reward? If you are, we can do it again."
Lu Ze grinned. Kiana knew she couldn't win and silently turned her head away, muttering "you pervert," then excitedly walked away.
She seemed to be full of energy and quickly went to complete her task.
"Kiana! Go for it! Don't be too slow."
Seeing her wave her hand, Lu Ze chuckled.
Otto, who had been force-fed dog food at the counter, completely ignored them and quickly ran to the second floor.
"Kallen, can you comfort me? This damned boss fed me a mouthful of dog food!"
Kallen next door chuckled and said, "Who told you to be transferred over? Come here, have a loving hug."
"No, I want a loving kiss!"
"Don't push your luck, my Otto!"
Meanwhile, Lu Ze used a Void Anchor to teleport to the Palace of Wisdom in Sumeru, which was the God of Wisdom's residence. *I haven't been here in so long, and Sumeru has already returned to its original appearance. Some trees are no longer bare. Sigh... perhaps this is the authority of the God of Wisdom!*
He sensed for a while and knew where the little Lord of Wisdom was.
On a street, the little loli was walking around, looking for something that could pique her interest, but still, nothing could.
"Nahida! I need to talk to you!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Nahida quickly turned her head. Wasn't this Lu Ze from not too long ago? *We shouldn't be in Liyue, but here?*
"Lu Ze, what wind blew you this way? What do you need me for?"
He explained about the Liyue Lantern Festival and his idea. The idea of everyone celebrating the Lantern Festival together was good, but it was too difficult to execute.
"Do you have a way to get them to Liyue instantly? If not, with only a day's time, it's probably not enough."
Nahida lowered her head in thought. If there was no other way, for Lu Ze's sake, she would even overexert herself to fulfill his wish.
"I've already thought of that. We'll use the Void Anchors as the gate for this teleportation. I've already prepared most of it. You just need to call the people over."
Nahida nodded upon hearing the explanation, but she was troubled. Who should she call? She didn't have many suitable candidates.
"But I don't know who to call. This is a bit difficult."
Lu Ze chuckled and took out a small notebook from his pocket. He had actually prepared this long ago and came after everything was arranged.
"Here's the list. You just need to find the people according to the names on the list, understand?"
This made things much simpler. With her current prestige, it was feasible to call a few people over. The list wasn't long, only a dozen or so names, so it was much easier.
"I understand. You must have other things to do, right? Hurry up and go. I'll take care of this. I'll definitely find everyone before tomorrow morning."
Nahida pushed Lu Ze, indicating that he should hurry and do other things and not be delayed because of her.
"Then I'll leave it all to you, Nahida! I wish you a happy Lantern Festival!"
After speaking, he ran back to the Palace of Wisdom and once again used a Void Anchor to teleport to Mondstadt.
For Mondstadt, it was better to find Acting Grand Master Jean of the Knights of Favonius. That drunk bard, Venti, didn't have much influence. He might not even be able to call anyone.
He quickly entered Mondstadt city. The people today were exceptionally numerous, and the streets were bustling. He could even see some familiar faces. However, at Angel's Share, he saw a bard still drinking morosely.
He looked so engrossed; wasn't he afraid of being carried away?
"Venti, wake up quickly. You're drinking so much in the afternoon. Diluc... what's going on?"
The boss today happened to be Diluc. He looked at Venti, his mouth twitching. "This has nothing to do with me. I just took over my shift. How could I have given him so much wine? You know my personality, how could I do such a thing?"
That was true. Given Diluc's personality, even if he knew Venti was the Anemo God, he wouldn't be afraid. What was there to be afraid of?
After all, in his eyes, this Anemo God was still just a bard. How had he treated him before? He would treat him the same way now. He wouldn't change his attitude just because he found out he was a god.
"Venti! If you wake up, I'll pay off all your debts for you."
As soon as the words fell, Venti quickly got up from the table, his eyes glowing. His big eyes twinkled, and he said in disbelief, "Really? Really? You're really willing to clear my tab?"
