On the second day of staying in Mondstadt, Falga, Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, came to visit as expected. He treated Confucius with courtesy and they had a good chat.

Su Ping and others also met him. He was a tall man with a majestic face, but his words and speech were very easy-going.

Add to that the slightly rough beard, and if someone didn't know him well, they would probably think he was just a peculiar farmer, and would not associate him with the great leader.

The main reason he came this time was because of the issue of the Night Owl Organization. After all, they had been tracking down this organization for a long time, but unfortunately they were unable to completely eradicate it every time.

I hope that this time, we can wipe them out in one fell swoop and restore peace to the land of Mond.

As for the specifics of the discussion, Su Ping naturally didn't know. Not only him, but a large number of students were also turned away.

This is not because the matter is so confidential. After all, they are all students of Confucius, and they would not be the kind of people who would inform on others and betray him.

The main reason is that it is troublesome, and Confucius does not want his students to work too hard for it. After all, studying while traveling can only be learned after traveling.

Therefore, Su Ping was taken out of the Goethe Hotel by three senior students who had the same idea, and wandered around the simply laid out streets.

People passing by would occasionally look back, either to look at the handsome Yan Ziyuan, or the chubby Su Ping, or they would wonder what the relationship was between this strange combination.

The four of them were already accustomed to all of this, and just pretended not to notice the glances, and continued shopping, going their own way.

Walking past a flower shop, I saw a woman with brown hair standing in front of the door. She was pretty, but not one with a stunning appearance that would make people remember her at first sight.

She is dressed in Mondstadt-style clothing, as if she lives in the countryside, full of the atmosphere of fireworks and gentle as water. She holds the scissors in one hand and the branches with the other, trimming them carefully.

In her eyes, it seemed that there was only this pot of flowers and nothing else that could bother her or move her.

Finally, when she cut off the last useless branch, she smiled slightly, put the scissors aside, and carefully observed her work.

This may be one of the few things that can relieve fatigue and strengthen one's inner heart in the daily work. It is ordinary, plain and peaceful.

After looking for a while, the woman raised her head, stretched her neck, and saw that there were four people watching her, or rather, watching her trimming the flowers.

"Oh, sorry, sorry, I was so engrossed just now that I didn't notice you!" The woman stood up and explained hurriedly.

Yan Ziyuan shook his head and chuckled, "It's okay, we're just taking a look."

"Indeed, indeed. The young lady is so devoted to this flower that we cannot bear to disturb her." Zeng Xi also smiled and looked like a modest gentleman.

The woman opened her mouth slightly, not knowing what to say. Her face turned red, making her look delicate and charming, quite eye-catching.

"Miss, do you have any flowers to recommend? We have just arrived in Mondstadt and don't know much about the flowers here." Yan Ziyuan stopped joking and said what could barely be considered the goal of this trip.

"Flowers...different types of flowers have different meanings. I wonder what you want to use them for, sir?" The woman raised her head slightly and looked at the handsome man.

Yan Ziyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "It doesn't need to have any special meaning. I just heard that the flowers in Mond are all gorgeous, so I want to buy a bunch to take home."

"That's right, young lady. Please pick a bouquet for us at random." Ran Ziyou said softly.

The woman nodded slightly and said, "If you just want to buy it for viewing, then Cecilia flowers are good. The flowers will emit a faint fragrance long after they are picked. The overall appearance is also acceptable."

"Well, then we want this?" Yan Ziyuan glanced at the three of them, waiting for the next words.

The three of them all nodded, without any other words or actions, as if to say, "Whatever."

"Okay, then this one. How much Mora?" Yan Ziyuan took out a purse from his sleeve, which contained more than ten banknotes of different denominations.

"Two thousand Moras." the woman replied.

Cecilia flowers grow on the high Star-Picking Cliff. Collecting them requires a great deal of time and manpower. It is very fair to sell a bunch of nine flowers at this price.

After the payment and goods were settled, the four of them left, shoulder to shoulder, but one person held them back, and that was Su Ping, who had remained silent the entire time.

The woman looked at the four people leaving, glanced at the flowers she had trimmed, and murmured softly, "Keep up the good work and make the flower shop business flourish!"

Of course, the four people who left were unaware of the woman’s self-motivation. Besides, what difference would it make if they knew? Would they have to buy one more bouquet to take care of the business?

Four people were walking together, and Yan Ziyuan had flowers in his hand. Originally, he didn't want to take it, but the other three people said, "Whoever pays can take it," which shut his mouth.

Looking at the white flower in his hand, Yan Ziyuan said slowly: "How about you guys take it? I don't know who to give this flower to."

"I don't know who to give it to. What did you buy it for?" Zeng Xi said with a look of seeing through everything, "Don't say you really bought it to look at it. We are not familiar with each other yet!"

"Indeed, Ziyuan is not a person who likes plants and trees so much. Normally, he would not even take a second look at them." Ran Ziyou said, clicking his tongue.

Su Ping put his hand on his chin and looked up with his eyes slightly closed. "Brother Ziyuan, if you don't want to tell us, we won't ask. After all, it's all a private matter."

"But if there is wine, I can't miss it this time!"

Yan Ziyuan naturally understood what his junior brother meant by "wine" and immediately sighed, "I just bought it casually."

“Could it be that I’ve already missed the wine once, and now I have to do it for the second or third time?” Su Ping’s words were shocking, and his weak voice was like a sharp sword.

The corner of Yan Ziyuan's mouth twitched.

Zeng Xi and Ran Ziyou did not intend to let it go either, and they beat their chests and stamped their feet.

"Ziyuan, how could you do this? You didn't even tell us about such a big thing. I don't even know what gifts to prepare for my brother and sister-in-law and three nephews whom I've never met!"

"My sister-in-law is so pitiful. You have been in trouble but still have no official status? We have never met each other. Could it be that you, Ziyuan, are so hidden that you actually..."

“Stop, stop, stop!” Yan Ziyuan couldn’t help but grit his teeth and said, “The above are all your guesses, blind conjectures, and fabrications!”

"Ah, which part do you mean?" Su Ping, Ran Ziyou, and Zeng Xi's eyes flashed, and they all rubbed their heads, looking confused.

Yan Ziyuan shouted, “All of them!”

"Oh~"

"Shut up!"

After a period of silence, Yan Ziyuan looked at the three people who really didn't speak, sighed softly, but smiled inexplicably, without any hypocrisy or sarcasm.

This smile is just a smile, just for the sake of smile.

Ran Ziyou asked, "Brother Ziyuan, why are you laughing?"

"Haha...laugh just for the sake of laughing, there's no need for a reason. If you want to laugh, just look up to the sky and laugh out loud, walk out the door and live your life to the fullest!"

Yan Ziyuan laughed several more times, with only the bunch of white flowers in his eyes, full of profound understanding. He was a respectful and polite man, and he did not forget etiquette at this moment, but he was a little more arrogant.

The three of them looked at each other and smiled. Then they carried Yan Ziyuan, whose understanding was becoming deeper and deeper, while Su Ping, who was not big enough, ran alone.

It seemed as urgent as sending someone to the hospital, but it was indeed so. The opportunity for enlightenment was very important, and it came very inexplicably.

Like this time, there was no warning at all. I bought the flowers just because of a few words and some mysterious connection with the bouquet of flowers.

Everything seems to be determined by heaven, not a bit more or less.

After putting Yan Ziyuan back in his own room, the three of them tiptoed out of the room and closed the door.

Zeng Xi breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled, "Ziyuan has also made some progress. It seems that if I don't work harder, I will be surpassed by you guys!"

“Brother Zeng, why are you so anxious? Even if I’m not righteous enough, I’m still old after all.” Su Ping put his hands behind his back, raised his head and smiled.

Zeng Xi shook his head slightly and smiled without saying anything.

Ran Ziyou leaned against the wall, one hand on his chin, "I don't know how long Ziyuan will need. If it's just one or two days, I guess I'll have to stay in your room!"

"It's okay." Zeng Xi waved his hand and said casually.

Su Ping also nodded and did not refuse.

Ran Ziyou laughed and said, "Good, Brother Zeng and I are very good friends."

"It's just a room..." Zeng Xi shook his head gently, closed his eyes slightly, and sighed faintly: "At this time, should I say that the young are to be feared?"

"Perhaps, but Brother Zeng should also not let future generations mourn for future generations!" Ran Ziyou then pondered, and then slowly said: "The ancients had holy words, and now I chant them, I can understand..."

His voice became deep, like the sound of Sanskrit, and fell into the ears of Su Ping beside him, which shocked Su Ping's mind and made him understand something.

"The ancient fire shines in the present. The ashes of today are the proof of the existence of the flames of the past. The world has changed over time, and the seas have dried up and the rocks have crumbled..."

The more Su Ping spoke, the taller his body became, like a pine tree, standing tall and unshakable, facing the impact of the flowing water. After thousands of ships have passed by, he is still there.

"The flame is passed on and will burn forever!"

As a result, both of them moved at the same time and ran into the room of Su Ping and Zeng Xi next door, sat cross-legged and closed their eyes.

Outside the door, Zeng Xi, the only one of the four who was still awake, held his forehead with his hand, then gently helped them close the door, with helplessness in his eyes.

"Have you discussed this? Do you have a common understanding?" Zeng Xi smiled bitterly, but at the same time, he sincerely congratulated the three younger classmates in his heart. After all, it is not easy to cultivate a righteous spirit.

If these three people achieve great success in the future, Zeng Xi will not be jealous, because he thinks that is what they deserve. He will only give them his blessings.

Leaning against the wall, Zeng Xi sighed and muttered to himself, "Don't let future generations mourn for future generations... The words are all wrong. It seems that there are indeed some signs of sudden enlightenment."

"But Junior Su is really..."

"Haha, it's hard to describe, hard to describe!" Zeng Xi stretched lazily, his eyes looking at the falling leaves outside the window, as if he could see the wind blowing.

The wind cannot be grasped or seen. One can only observe what it carries and think about its original appearance...

Gradually, Zeng Xi was about to step into the state of understanding the artistic conception. Without time to be happy, he hurried to the room of his junior student nearby to tell him the reason.

During this time, the wind caused by the running body made the clothes and hair sway, looking a little messy, as if they had bumped into someone.

Four people were all in a state of mind in one day. I don’t know if it was luck or if it was supposed to be this way?
