Chapter 243 The Wind God's Smile, The Poem of Emerald Light
As Abedo watched Xingqiu leave, he was about to remark on how young Xingqiu was able to write such an influential novel when Barbatos suddenly appeared and interrupted his chance to speak.
"Hey everyone, did you miss me?"
Barbatos smiled and waved as he looked at Ying and Paimon.
After seeing Barbatos's face clearly, Paimon quickly gestured with his eyes.
After understanding Paimon's meaning, Barbatos stopped smiling.
"Singing for money! What brings you here?"
"Well—I heard there was an event going on in Inazuma, so I came to join in the fun~"
"Okay, that's exactly what you would do."
Who is this?
Abedo, standing to the side, looked at Barbatos, who seemed to know the two of them very well, and asked in confusion.
“Oh, him… his name is Wendy, a bard from Mondstadt. We met him on our journey.”
"I see. Hello, Mr. Wendy. My name is Abedo."
"Haha, Abelardo, right? I have a note in my hand. Would you be interested in taking a look?"
"A note?"
"This is a note that suddenly appeared in my hand when I woke up in the warehouse."
After speaking, Barbatos briefly recounted his experience from the previous day.
Five minutes later.
After he finished speaking, he unfolded the paper and handed it to Abedo.
“I know you are the invited illustrator for the Five Song Immortals illustrations, so I thought there might be some clues here that could help you.”
After saying that, all four of them turned their attention to the note.
The note clearly stated:
Five Songs of Fairy Beauty: The Emerald Light Chapter
My thatched hut is far removed from the secular world.
But fleeting fame attracts worldly clamor.
Clad in emerald robes and colorful scrolls, they ascended to the heavens to guard the realm.
The manuscript of the poem "Sunflower" remains.
I bow my head, only hoping to appease the emperor's wrath.
He pounded his skull and spoke in a panic.
Last night I was drunk at the tavern.
My shadow lingers beside me as I sleep.
It must have been a treacherous person who stole the poem.
My face was utterly ruined in the imperial court.

"Hmm... I don't understand a bit! But... isn't Cui Guang one of the Five Song Immortals' names?"
After rubbing her temples with difficulty, Paimon, knowing her lack of cultural knowledge, gave up and flew backward, then raised her hand to cover her eyes.
Aberdo, however, looked at the contents of the paper with lingering interest, then nodded in satisfaction.
“Great, I have an inspiration for drawing.”
"Hey, I'm glad I could help."
"You guys really understood it?!"
Paimon looked at the group nodding to each other and curled his lips in disbelief.
"Haha, Paimon, let me explain it to you. Simply put, this poem says... that the poet Suiko was drunk and someone accidentally stole the poem that was supposed to be given to Lord Thor."
"This plot seems familiar... I've heard it before..."
As Paimon spoke, he lowered his head in thought.
Just as she was about to figure it out, Ying spoke first.
"Wendy, this is so similar to what you just described! Except what was stolen from you was a novel, and the contents of the book were poems!"
"That's right, I've already figured out how to draw illustrations about Cuiguang."
As Aberdo spoke, he nodded in agreement.
"You wouldn't... be planning to draw Wendy as a replica of Emerald Light, would you?!"
Upon hearing this, Paimon soared high into the air. If there hadn't been no ceiling, Paimon's head would probably have been smashed again!
