Childe POV
“Eh? The knights really challenged us to a duel ? For something we don’t even have ?“ Keqing gasped in disbelief , baffled on why the knights resulted to such drastic measures to retrieve a sword that wasn’t even in the Qixing’s possession
“Really? Master Jean would do such a thing ? You should really ask for something other than them not to bother you again...Sorry but traveller isn’t one from teyvat , they can’t partake in this duel ! “ Paimon gaped in shock while the traveller shook her head sadly
“Yes, the contract will be signed at the Mondstadt and liyue border...i am required to get the best of the best to partake in this ‘duel’ we cannot afford Liyue’s secrets to be-“
“ I will go “ Keqing said immediately without hesitation
“ As much as i love the thrill of battle , i am not one from Liyue thus is unable to participate .However i will surely be there tomorrow to offer moral support !” i sighed slightly disappointed I would have to skip this opportunity to spar with Mondstadt’s best fighters
“ We can’t have Ms Keqing go alone ! What if they send Captain Kaeya or Klee or even master Diluc or worse venti the anemo archon himself! Ms keqing id strong but i fear she might not be able to take on four opponents at once ! “ Chongyun exclaimed extremely concerned for the safety of his friend
“ How about Mr Zhongli ? “ I suggested
“ M-me ? “ He stuttered obviously not expecting my suggestion
“ Of course ! I saw the way you fight you would absolutely crush them sensei !” I encouraged hopeful that my amber eyed friend would pull through
“ I am flattered that you think i am a good fighter Childe , however i am sure there are better fighters in Liyue “
“ How about Ms Hanyu ? She’s strong and has enough experience in combat to put up a good fight...however i am unsure if an archer is able to fend off several sword and claymore users...“ Xingqiu said deep in thought
“That is correct...ganyu is deployed on a mission to investigate the nine pillars and won’t be back until next week anyway “ Ningguang nodded in agreement
“ How about Ms Yujing ? We all seen her fight and she’s pretty scary“ i proposed smiling as i recalled how she gracefully won a duel by helping me up with a smile on her face...apologising profusely for hurting me and tending to my injuries after and telling me not to tell anyone about it
Ah thank the archons Mr Zhongli can’t read my mind
Or i would be dead meat
“ Yeah ! I bet Ms Yujing can i take even Master Diluc head on and win since she looks so harmless and can catch them offguard-“
“absolutely not” Mr Zhongli cut paimon off almost immediately
“ BUT WHY NOT MR ZHONGLI SHES PERFECT TO KICK SOME KNIGHT BUTT “ Chongyun begged whining like a kid
“ i simply would not put her in such a dangerous position.”
So Mr Zhongli is the over protective boyfriend type huh
“ fine...i will participate in this duel , on the condition i go alone “ He sighed while everyone else started gawking at him
“B-But !” The yuheng protested
“ It is alright Ms Keqing i admire your courage however i am much suited to duel them myself “
“Yeah Mr Zhongli is a great fighter !” Xingqiu praised as chongyun clapped at his words
( lets assume childe and traveller know he’s the geo archon and he can still use his abilities in the absence of a gnosis )
“Very well then , Mr Zhongli we are in your debt “
Oh he better be
Or how is he going to return me the mora he took from me
Pretty sure it was more than five million
“ Then it is settled , tomorrow at dawn we meet at the border “ to Sign the contract , however this ‘duel’ will commence at sundown tomorrow to avoid attracting too much attention
“ I wonder what will Ms Yujing say when she knows of this ! “ Keqing huffed
“ she mustn’t know, Keqing this is to be kept as discrete as possible , no one outside this room is supposed to know “ Ningguang scolded slightly
“Hmph!”
“If there is nothing else , you all may leave now “ Ms Ningguang said as she left the room
“ Yeah quick Mr Zhongli ! We’ve been gone for about an hour now ,better go back to sleeping beauty before she wakes up “ Paimon exclaimed as the fairy shoved the tall man out of the jade chamber ahead of the others
“ Dont worry Paimon i will ensure Mr Zhongli returns to his precious lover in no time “ I chuckled slinging my arm lazily around his neck as the platform returned us to Liyue harbour
“Alright then , goodnight everyone ! “ Xingqiu bid farewell followed by the others while Mr Zhongli and I made our way back home
To our surprise Yujing was indeed still sleeping , she looked so tired today i wonder when was the last time she slept...and what has she been up to that’s preventing her from sleeping , too much work perhaps ?
