The maids were already setting up the banquet, and Ying was directing the Mond delegation to their seats. At this point, Qin finally relaxed a little. "Come to think of it, Ying, you seem to be living a good life in Inazuma." Qin had long noticed that both officials and samurai treated Ying with great respect. Ying felt a little embarrassed. Although she was just a figurehead in Mondstadt, Fang Yun invited her to join Inazuma at that time. She followed Fang Yun's words "Ying has been wandering for half her life" and joined Inazuma. She always felt a little sorry for Captain Qin. As if she had seen through her concerns, Qin chuckled and said, "Ying, Mondstadt is a free country that will never restrict anyone. The identity of an honorary knight is your honor, and it also reflects our trust and support for you. It is definitely not a shackle that will trap you." Barbara was about to nod in agreement when she found herself suddenly covered by a shadow. She turned her head subconsciously, only to find that a man in luxurious purple clothes had come behind her at some point. "So...Qin, is the identity of Dandelion Knight your honor or your shackles?" Fang Yun asked. His arrival immediately attracted the attention of all the Mond delegation. Although they had never seen him before, they could guess his identity by looking at the sharp demeanor that was unique to a warrior. "Your Highness Fang Yun!" They immediately saluted respectfully.
Yingmei, who was sitting in the main seat, moved her little butt obediently, leaving the center seat to Fang Yun, and knelt beside him. Fang Yun sat down at the main seat, very satisfied with the way he made his debut, but to his surprise, although Qin and Barbara looked respectful, there was some vigilance in their eyes. Ok? Fang Yun looked at Yingmei thoughtfully. He patted Ying's thigh calmly.

Volume 3: Chapter 32: Fang Yun's diplomatic ability, transformation of the leader of the Qin Group Under the table, when Fang Yun's palm touched Ying's thigh, Ying's body suddenly tensed up. She was originally smiling as she looked at Jean and Barbara, but her eyes widened slightly and her expression froze. Sister Ying was frightened! Under normal circumstances, this contact would be nothing. After all, she had been transformed by Fang Yun using the Lanaro Chains. Not only was she hit by Fang Yun's signature Rasengan, but she was also careless and lost the game. To her, Fang Yun’s elemental combat skills no longer had much effect, which meant that she needed to be wary of elemental bursts. Now she has the support of Captain Qin and her sister, and they can form a team. It will be more difficult for Fang Yun to subdue her... A blonde female knight might fail, but she still doesn't believe that Fang Yun can make a team of two female knights and a priest fail.
If all else fails, there are still Amber and Eula. There are plenty of female knights in Mond! But the key point is that it is a welcoming party now and everyone is still looking at her. Yingmei tensed her body and tried her best to keep her expression unchanged, but Fang Yun's palm actually stayed on her thigh after patting it. No road race! Quick, quick, let go! Feeling the warmth coming from Fang Yun's palm, even though he did nothing, this feeling of being ready to strike made Ying even more worried. She turned her head slightly stiffly and looked at Fang Yun with pleading eyes. Let go now, you can change it however you want when you get back! Fang Yun then withdrew his hand, but when Ying just relaxed, he stretched out his finger and poked her leg, causing Ying to cover her mouth and almost scream out. After giving Yingmei a warning look, Fang Yun finally stopped. He didn't mean to transform Yingmei, but this guy was secretly tarnishing his image, revealing his true identity. Yingmei slandered him, but he did not blaspheme Yingmei. This was already his way of caring for his female secretary. Then, Fang Yun turned his attention to the banquet below. Except for little Paimeng who was floating beside the two of them, no one else noticed the confrontation between him and Yingmei under the table. They were more surprised by Fang Yun's appearance and the questions he had just raised. Fang Yun swept his eyes across the crowd. In the front were naturally Jean and Barbara, and further down were the accompanying Knight of Favonius. There were ten of them in total. They had already taken off the standard armor of the Knights Templar and were wearing the uniforms of the Knights Templar, but they still had the Sword of Favonius hanging around their waists. Normally it would be inappropriate to bring weapons to a banquet, but Inazuma has always been a martial arts person, so the Kanjo Bugyo did not ask them to temporarily store their weapons outside. However, when Fang Yun looked down, he found that although these Knights of Favonius had sophisticated weapons and from the details of some of their movements one could tell that they had received professional swordsmanship training, they lacked the elite and brave temperament of the Qianyan Army and the Shogunate Army. They just looked lazy. Fang Yun would not be surprised to see this kind of temperament in the Gilded Brigade, but the Knights of Favonius are a regular army after all, so this is very inappropriate. If an army cannot even maintain the most basic discipline, how much combat effectiveness can it exert when encountering the enemy? "Although I knew that Mondstadt had a lot of problems, I didn't expect that the Knights were all like this... No, it was predictable. Even the Knights of Favonius who guarded the city gates could enjoy the shade under the trees openly. There were also people like Goodwin who would rather desert than save face. It's obviously unrealistic to say that the discipline was good." A thought flashed through Fang Yun's mind. To be honest, he couldn't understand the management model of the Knights Templar. Moreover, he discovered that Jean and Barbara, two high-ranking members of the Knights Templar and the Church, had no feelings towards this laxity. This was actually the most terrifying thing. It seemed that in the eyes of the people of Mond, the pursuit of "freedom" could surpass everything. Perhaps it is precisely for this reason that Goodwin, who "left the team secretly because he lost his girlfriend's token, and did not dare to return to Mondstadt after falling behind", did not feel that he was a deserter at all. He did not think that he was unworthy of the Knights and the God of Wind. The only regret he had was that he could not write a letter to his girlfriend to preserve his image. Fang Yun didn't know what his girlfriend saw in Goodwin. "Mondstadt stepped out of Lawrence's shadow, but went to the other extreme?" Fang Yun recalled the discussion he had with Zhongli in Liyue. He shook his head slightly, his eyes meeting Qin's. Fang Yun's previous question seemed to have touched Qin's heart. Qin wanted to answer several times but suddenly swallowed it back, her pretty face full of thought.
Is the identity of Dandelion Knight an honor or a shackle? If it were in the past, Jyn would have answered the former without hesitation. Although she did have a lot of things to do every day, she would feel at ease every time she helped the people of Mondstadt. She did not think that carrying the burden for Mondstadt was putting shackles on herself. But after coming to Inazuma, she discovered on her first trip abroad that the armies of other countries were completely different from Mond. It was not a matter of combat power and equipment, but a gap in belief. She felt that every soldier in the Shogunate Army had a spirit that the Knights did not possess. "Is it that the Knights' faith is not devout enough?" Qin found it difficult to understand. She had always been busy with government affairs and this was the first time she had time to think about such a question. No, that wouldn't happen. She believed that everyone in the Knights Templar was excellent and they were just experiencing some confusion now, just like every child has to go through many things before they can grow up. Qin took a deep breath and replied, "Your Highness Fang Yun, the Dandelion Knight is the Lionfang Knight, and the first Dandelion Knight was Lady Vanessa who once ascended to Sky Island. I am only proud to inherit her title, so how could I feel it is a burden?" She looked straight at Fang Yun without any retreat, and the gentleness on her face turned into determination. She looked very dazzling at this moment, making Fang Yun feel the inheritance of the "chivalry spirit" of the Gunhild family... although he felt it was a bit old-fashioned. However, after seeing the dazzling Captain Qin, Fang Yun seemed to understand why Gilgamesh liked Saber. This flawless feeling was like a treasure that people wanted to possess for themselves, or to taint with their own color. It would be a shame not to transform this blonde female knight. Her stubbornness would only serve as fun during the transformation. Fang Yun let out a light breath to clear his mind and thought about Vanessa. Vanessa has only appeared in comics and some weapon story texts, but she is of great significance to Mond. She was a Natar who was exiled to Mondstadt. Later, under the guidance of Venti, she led the people of Mondstadt to overthrow the tyranny of Lawrence and establish the Knights of Favonius. Her ascension to Sky Island also verified the legend of Teyvat that "anyone who possesses the Eye of God is qualified to become a god." only-- Fang Yun shook his head: "Captain Qin, I'm not targeting you. Of course I've heard Vanessa's story, but seeing how tired you look, Vanessa probably isn't as tired as you, right?" When he entered the room, he found that Qin seemed to be in a bad mood. He thought that something had happened to the Knights, but when he saw that the other Knights of Favonius all looked relaxed and happy, Fang Yun knew that it was Qin's own problem. Qin didn't understand the implication of Fang Yun's words. Her blue eyes were a little surprised. "Your Highness Fang Yun, Lady Vanessa has almost reshaped Mondstadt. With her ability, she can handle any difficulties with ease. Compared with her, I naturally seem a little clumsy." She just thought that Fang Yun felt that Dandelion Knight was a burden to her after hearing Ying talk about how she once fell ill due to overwork. "Thank you very much for your concern, Your Highness Fang Yun. I do have many shortcomings, but I believe that as long as I work harder in the future, I will be able to catch up with Lady Vanessa," she added. Fang Yun frowned slightly, wondering why this piano just didn't work. He couldn't help but remind her, "Captain Qin, I don't think Vanessa has more work to do than you. The difference between you two is the people around you. In Mond's epic, Vanessa was able to overthrow the rule of the Lawrence family with the help of many people." However, after the words fell, Qin also frowned. "Your Highness Fang Yun, do you mean that the Knights have held me back? I never feel that my efforts for Mondstadt are a burden. The members of the Knights are also excellent, and... you'd better not compare me with Lady Vanessa." Although Qin knew that Fang Yun had no ill intentions and only said that because he was concerned about her health, even if she had a different opinion at this time, she should avoid the topic to avoid conflict. If she had a falling out with Fang Yun, the highest authority in Inazuma, at the welcoming banquet, it would certainly be awkward to discuss cooperation later. However, since it concerns the honor and beliefs of the Knights, Qin believes that she cannot avoid it. Moreover, she could feel that Fang Yun seemed to have some misunderstanding about the Knights' ability to work. If she didn't explain it clearly now, conflicts would still break out when they started to cooperate. It would be better to be honest now. Jean's firm voice attracted everyone's attention, and the Knights of Favonius below were all moved when they heard Captain Jean defending them in this way. Seeing that she seemed to be going head-on with Fang Yun, the Knights of Favonius spoke up to smooth things over.
"No, Captain Qin, His Highness Fang Yun is right. Lady Vanessa was able to found the Knights because she had many like-minded companions around her!" "We are not good enough to make you so tired, Captain Qin!" "Yes, from now on...from tomorrow on, we must work hard to help Captain Qin!" Feeling everyone's enthusiastic speeches and support, Qin was deeply moved and looked even more excited. She felt that what she thought was correct. Although there were some problems with discipline among the Knights, it was only a temporary difficulty and everyone's attitude was good. Barbara was a little skeptical... As a priest, she could hear the knights' enthusiastic speeches every time she presided over a ceremony, but usually this enthusiasm could only last for a day or two, and then the knights would slack off as usual, even sneaking around at the city gate. You know, guarding the city gate is not only about Mondstadt's safety, but also represents Mondstadt's image. As a result, these people are blatantly lazy. Is this really a manifestation of caring about the glory of the Knights Templar? She looked towards the main seat and saw Fang Yun frowning slightly. She couldn't help but worry whether he would have a conflict with his sister. In fact, Barbara also felt that there was something wrong with her sister. She even took on tasks like finding cats and dogs by herself, which made the knights under her even lazier. Moreover, last time Jean was only sick for one day, those who couldn't find cats and dogs actually started to blame Jean. Not only did her sister's hard work go unrewarded, but she also lost favor with both the Knights and the people of Mondstadt. But Barbara didn't know how to communicate with Jean and could only hide her concern deep in her heart. "I hope there won't be a quarrel. After the banquet, I will secretly go to His Highness Fang Yun and apologize to him on behalf of my sister." Barbara thought. In fact, it is not impossible to go openly, but she is worried that her sister will think too much, and if Fang Yun is really dissatisfied, she is willing to bear it for her sister. Go to Barbara, not Jean! however. Under Barbara's gaze of relief and inexplicable loss, Fang Yun did not say much. Instead, he followed the topic and praised the Knights... although she felt that Fang Yun's tone was a bit perfunctory. In fact, she was right. Fang Yun was indeed being perfunctory. He just felt dissatisfied seeing that Jean was working too hard while the Knights of Favonius were all thinking about traveling at their expense. Moreover, Yingmei had asked him to help correct Jean before and that was what Jean said. But since Jean insisted that there was no problem with the Knights Temperance, he was too lazy to say anything. He believed that Jean would suffer the consequences soon. Qin, you will regret it! At that time, he wanted Qin to show her sincerity and beg him... He had long wanted to experience the soul of the Knights Templar. Fang Yun clapped his hands and signaled the maids to continue serving the dishes. Seeing that he actually made concessions, Qin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She had always thought that Fang Yun was the kind of man with a grumpy personality, but she didn't expect him to be so easy to talk to. Moreover, he brought up this topic because he was concerned about her health. 'After the banquet is over, I will secretly go to His Highness Fang Yun to apologize,' Qin thought. In fact, it is not impossible to go openly. Qin is not a person who cares about face, but she is worried that Barbara will think too much. Their family was very complicated. Their parents loved each other very much, but later went their separate ways. Although their father was still the bishop of the Church of Favonius and their mother was still a knight of the Gunhild family, they often met but had no words to say to each other. This relationship also affected her and Barbara, who served in the Knights Templar and the Church respectively. In the years since their parents' divorce, Jean had always wanted to get close to her sister, but the two sisters were clumsy in this regard. They obviously cared about each other but couldn't say it out loud. Jean had forgotten how long it had been since she and Barbara had slept in the same bed. Alas, I don’t know when the sisters will be able to be honest with each other and fight side by side.
As the tense atmosphere faded away, the welcoming banquet got on track. This change is very natural. After all, the three countries of Feng, Yan and Lei have always been on good terms. Not only do they have no hatred against each other, but they also have very close cooperation. Now restoring diplomatic relations is a good thing for both countries. Needless to say, Paimon and the Knights of Favonius all started to eat with relish, even Jean and Barbara couldn't resist the temptation of the food. After sailing on the sea for a long time, even though the Knights had brought all the dry food with them, it was certainly impossible for them to eat well. "Your Highness Fang Yun is so thoughtful that he even prepared Mond's dishes." Qin thanked with a smile. Fang Yun opened his mouth and enjoyed the food being fed by the female secretary Yingmei beside him, and then replied: "This is ordered from the Deer Hunter Restaurant branch. It seems to suit your taste." "The Deer Hunter Restaurant actually opened a branch in Inazuma?"
