~6 min read 1,093 words

Jean: "Although he did it to resolve the dragon disaster, he could have told me."

Barbara: "It was all instigated by the bard, and he even betrayed Mr. Su Bai."

Venti: "I definitely didn't betray Su Bai. It must be that I saw Jean coming this way, so I left first."

Thoma: "This kind of behavior seems..."

Kaedehara Kazuha: "It really seems like betrayal."

Diluc: "Did you go to my tavern to touch the wine again?"

Venti: "Don't say it like that, that was also a matter of the past life."

Barbara: "Eh? The bard not only stole the lyre but also stole wine?"

Venti: "Hey, I paid for it, with my performance."

Paimon: "Singer, Su Bai is still the loyal one. He was taken away by Grand Master Jean and didn't betray you along the way."

【Jean walked in front with a helpless look.】

【Su Bai followed her quietly, and the two walked to the headquarters in silence.】

【This scene was just seen by an unhappy Lumine.】

【For a whole day, she hadn't seen Su Bai's figure.】

【Lumine, who was feeling uneasy, was stunned the moment she saw Su Bai and Jean.】

【In the middle of the night, why did the two of them look so sneaky?】

【There was no time to think too much.】

【Lumine followed them quietly, wanting to see what they were going to do.】

【Pressing her ear against the office door.】

【The conversation between Jean and Su Bai reached Lumine's ears.】

【"Sigh, my Honorary Knight Mr. Su Bai, what exactly are you trying to do?"】

【Lumine: "!!!"】

【"Why did you go to the cathedral to steal the Holy Lyre der Himmel?"】

【The subsequent content made Lumine breathe a sigh of relief.】

【But, the next second, she widened her eyes, unable to believe her ears.】

【How could Su Bai go to steal things from the Mondstadt cathedral?】

【Impossible, although that guy would steal food from Hilichurls, with his skills, if he were just stealing, why not steal something more valuable?】

【Su Bai could never be the type of person who would steal items from the Mondstadt cathedral.】

【"A bard told me that he could summon Dvalin by playing the Holy Lyre der Himmel."】

【"And, judging by his confident appearance, I think that person's identity shouldn't be simple."】

【Su Bai recounted the matter of Venti to Grand Master Jean in detail.】

【"So Dvalin was eroded by the blood of the evil dragon, which is why his mental power was controlled by the Abyss Order?"】

【Jean repeated it to herself.】

【Her eyes were full of shock.】

【"So I feel that the bard who looks a bit unreliable seems to have a connection with Barbatos."】

【"Indeed, it is rumored that the Holy Lyre der Himmel is the very lyre once played by the Anemo Archon Barbatos."】

【"Could it be..."】

【Jean stopped mid-sentence.】

Barbara: "No, that rude bard is definitely not Lord Barbatos."

Jean: "That's right, so Mr. Venti, how do you view the fact that my past self and Su Bai always felt you were related to Lord Barbatos?"

Venti: "....."

Venti: "Didn't I tell the nun sister that I am the Anemo Archon Barbatos?"

Barbara: "You... you cannot say such rude things."

Furina: "Wait, the erosion of the evil dragon's blood, the Holy Lyre der Himmel being played, plus the ability to produce dragon tears—all these signs indicate that the bard is extraordinary."

Barbara: "Miss Furina, why even you..."

Eula: "Is Venti really our Mondstadt's Anemo Archon? The Anemo Archon of Mondstadt actually instigated a Reincarnator to steal Mondstadt's Holy Lyre der Himmel. If this kind of thing gets out, it really damages the image of the Anemo Archon."

Consultant Zhongli: "I personally don't think it's that serious, plus Mondstadt is a city that yearns for freedom."

Yae Miko: "He is also a god who doesn't make people worry-free."

Raiden Ei: "Ah?"

Kaeya: "This kind of thing is easy to distinguish. As long as Venti can really play the Holy Lyre der Himmel, then he is the Anemo Archon Barbatos."

Chapter 20: It's all past events, a hero doesn't mention past bravery

【In the following time.】

【Jean and Su Bai communicated roughly.】

【Venti told him that if anything happens, he should go to the Angel's Share tavern to find him.】

【Jean couldn't help but be amused.】

【Presumably, this bard gentleman had planned to go to the tavern opened by Diluc from the very beginning.】

【Perhaps the moment Su Bai entered the cathedral, Venti had already run away.】

【"You two are really interesting."】

【Jean laughed.】

【Finally, it was decided to go to Diluc's tavern in a while to meet this bard named Venti.】

【I hope the other party really has a way to solve Dvalin's matter.】

【"By the way, Su Bai..."】

【After the business was discussed.】

【Jean said slightly shyly: "You've really worked hard recently."】

【"Thanks to your existence, Dvalin's matter could progress so quickly."】

【Facing Jean's gratitude.】

【Su Bai waved his hand: "I'm not as great as you say."】

【"I just think that if I can help you, you will naturally help me more diligently."】

【"Help you?" Jean was puzzled for a moment, but soon she understood the meaning of Su Bai's words: "You mean..."】

【"It's just to find a brother for Lumine," Su Bai continued: "And I think as the Anemo Archon, Barbatos should be able to give us more help."】

【"Even if he can't restore Lumine's memory, I heard that the wind of Teyvat can bring a lot of information."】

【"He is the Anemo Archon of Teyvat, he should have a lot of intelligence in his hands."】

【"Since I helped the Mondstadt he protects, I think he shouldn't be stingy with his help to me."】

【So that's how it is.】

【Jean looked at the man before her with interest.】

【"So you've been busy running around, and in the end, it was still for Lumine."】

【"I thought you cherished being an Honorary Knight."】

【Jean teased.】

【In her heart, she really wanted Su Bai to stay in the City of Mondstadt as a knight.】

【Such an excellent person, no one would refuse.】

【"I am very grateful for Grand Master Jean's appreciation of me."】

【"I will certainly cherish the title of Honorary Knight."】

【"However, my most important task is naturally still helping Lumine find her brother."】

【"Why?" Jean asked curiously: "Don't you have any dreams?"】

【Dreams?】

【Su Bai was stunned.】

【He always felt that when he came to this world, there was nothing in his mind about what he wanted to do.】

【Until he met Lumine.】

【"I haven't thought about this question."】
