Zhuzi told the Traveler how to get to Inazuma: find Beidou and ask the amazing Beidou.
Upon arriving at the Alcor, Beidou happened to be planning a martial arts tournament and invited those without a Vision to participate.
Although the Traveler could use elemental power, she also existed without a Vision, so it was perfect timing.
Besides Beidou, there was another person who received a lot of attention, and his name was Kaedehara Kazuha.
Lumine: "Is this one also a Roving Bard?"
With a Wind Vision, not tall, and fond of playing music and reciting poetry, he indeed resembled a certain Roving Bard.
Speaking of which, in reality, Lumine and Wan Ye were not very familiar with each other at this time; instead, Hu Tao and Wan Ye had a good relationship.
During the last Moonchase Festival, since neither of them could drink alcohol, they discussed poetry together.
Hu Tao's Talents in poetry, how to put it, really 'opened Wan Ye's eyes,' broadening his perspective for future poetry writing.
Oh, by the way, Wan Ye actually bought one of Hu Tao's 'services,' a special package.
If Wan Ye were to encounter an accident during his travels in the future, Hu Tao would find him and bury him in a certain place in Inazuma, which could be considered returning to his roots.
Back to the book, Beidou explained the rules and rewards of this martial arts tournament to the Traveler.
The rules were not very restrictive; the most important point was that elemental power could not be used, because the reward was an ownerless Vision.
This piqued the interest of many, and many masters without a Vision wanted to participate and see.
Not everyone was there to obtain a Vision; more wanted to see the strength of other masters without a Vision.
Previously, information about this martial arts tournament was at most spread in a few places near Liyue Harbor, and the contestants were of varying quality.
There were conceited ones, deceived ones, and those with a little strength, but in short, there were very few true masters.
But now, because of Lin Qiu's promotion, it was known to almost all of Teyvat.
The local legends of Fontaine were rubbing their fists, already packing their bags to head to Liyue.
"I feel like I still need to thank Lin Qiu..." Beidou laughed heartily.
She originally just wanted to help Wan Ye, and with her influence as Big Sister Beidou, she still had some appeal in Liyue.
But now she didn't even need to rally people; Lin Qiu's promotional power from one book surpassed everything.
However, this also meant that not only those without a Vision would come; various masters would probably want to try, at most just not using their Vision.
In this case, the rewards would also have to change; Wan Ye's Vision could still let them try, but the champion's reward would have to be something else.
Wan Ye, standing nearby, nodded; he had a good impression of Lin Qiu and really wanted to find an opportunity to meet him.
As for how he knew Lin Qiu, besides through the book, it was through Hu Tao...
On the day of the Moonchase Festival, Hu Tao talked to him a lot about Lin Qiu, and because Wan Ye was also a person who loved listening to stories, Hu Tao told him many wonderful stories.
And those wonderful stories were almost all things she had heard from Lin Qiu.
Wan Ye and Beidou wanted to thank Lin Qiu, but Lumine wanted to 'repay' Lin Qiu.
Originally, this martial arts tournament wasn't that difficult, but with you doing this, where's my boat ticket?
Lin Qiu, how will you repay me for the boat ticket you owe me?
And to think I cooked for you these past few days; I'll just make you a 'Fishy Cantata Pie' as a reward.
However, Lumine wasn't really worried about the boat issue; with her current relationship with Beidou, getting a free ride was no problem.
On the other side, at Northland Bank, Tartaglia's eyes were wide with excitement; he had just returned to Liyue and encountered such an interesting event?
Heavens, are you rewarding me?
As for the Vision, I'll just find someone to keep it; martial arts tournament, here I come!
Tartaglia praised Lin Qiu for turning this ordinary martial arts tournament into a 'World's Strongest Martial Arts Tournament.'
However, while praising, Tartaglia also felt a bit troubled; he had returned, and it was time to repay the life he owed Lin Qiu.
He wondered if Lin Qiu could wait until after the martial arts tournament to claim it...
Arlecchino sat quietly, watching Tartaglia 'jump' around, happy one moment and troubled the next.
This martial arts tournament was indeed interesting, but Arlecchino had no intention of participating; at most, she would go to watch.
In Dihua Marsh, Jiangxue stroked his chin with interest, "This should be more fun than fishing."
On Dragonspine, Albedo pondered briefly, packed his belongings, and planned to descend the mountain to visit Liyue.
At the Knights of Favonius headquarters in Mondstadt, in Jean's office, Kaeya also pondered briefly and said, "Shouldn't our Mondstadt's 'strongest combat force' also go participate?"
The reason he wasn't at the tavern was because of the Abyss Order invasion last time; the Knights of Favonius were still clearing out monsters these past few days and had no time for drinking.
Although most of the monsters had been cleared, as the Cavalry Captain, he temporarily couldn't leave the Knights of Favonius.
Because Lin Qiu had written Klee's story, everyone knew that the 'strongest combat force' Kaeya was referring to at this time was Klee.
Jean also thought Kaeya's words were good; Klee had performed well in the last incident, and she could take him to Liyue to play.
As for Kaeya's mention of participating, Jean believed Kaeya must be joking.
"Alright then, Kaeya, you'll take Klee, Noelle, and Amber to Liyue," Jean said.
Jean was still worried about Kaeya causing trouble, so she had the more obedient and steady Noelle and the more likable Amber accompany them.
As long as she instructed Noelle beforehand, Noelle's temperament would surely follow Jean's wishes, if she wasn't swayed by Kaeya.
...Eula stared at Jean; she wanted to go too.
Only Jean, Lisa, and a few captains were in the office; Amber and the others were not present.
Eula wanted to go not only because Amber was going but also because she could see Lin Qiu in Liyue, something she had been thinking about for a long time.
Jean also noticed Eula's gaze and, remembering the story Lin Qiu wrote, understood Eula's thoughts.
"Eula, you go along too. Sigh, the sightseeing team is going to become a diplomatic team; I'll have to write diplomatic speeches again..." Jean massaged her forehead.
Eula was very happy, a slight curve forming at the corner of her lips, but she still turned her head slightly, "Hmph, then I'll just accompany them."
Elsewhere in Mondstadt, Mona was very depressed at this time because after returning home, she used hydromancy and found that Lin Qiu had visited Mondstadt, and she had missed him.
"Damn Lin Qiu!" Mona gritted her teeth.
If the mountain doesn't come to me, I'll go to the mountain! If I can't wait for you, I'll go to Liyue!
Cyno also planned to go to Liyue; he had long wanted to spar with the 'masters' there.
Seizing this opportunity, Cyno decided to set off.
He wasn't going alone; Sumeru F4 and Collei were all going together.
However, among them, only Cyno had considered participating in the martial arts tournament; the others were mostly going to join the fun and witness the world's masters.
Clorinde dialed the 'phone' Lin Qiu had given him; it was his first time actively using it.
Not just Clorinde, but Wriothesley also became interested and wanted to visit Liyue.
Furina and Navia also called Lin Qiu, but they weren't planning to participate in the competition; they just wanted to watch the excitement.
Now the entire Jinbei will be in a mess.

Character Voice - Wan Ye: About Lin Qiu
"You mean Mr. Lin Qiu? I admire him very much and am very grateful to him. If I have the chance, I really want to travel with him.
It's just a pity... he doesn't seem to like going out much?"
