Lisa picked up the wine in her hand and took a small sip: "This wine, I can only say it's alright..."
"I'm not very particular or professional about my taste in wine; this drink was just casually mixed by the bartender," Su Xuan replied calmly.
"I have better wine at home; would you like to come and try some together?" Lisa showed no restraint and immediately invited Su Xuan.
Su Xuan, however, looked at her with interest: "Aren't you afraid I have bad drinking habits?"
"Pfft!" Lisa couldn't help but chuckle: "With your power, whether you have bad drinking habits or not doesn't seem to matter much."
"What's more, Psychokinesis primarily relies on mental concentration. How much wine would it take to cause a change in your mental state?"
"Even all the wine in Mondstadt probably wouldn't have an effect, would it?"
Su Xuan knew Lisa was sharp-tongued and saw no need to argue with her, but since a beautiful woman was actively inviting him, Su had no reason to refuse.
The two quickly arrived at Lisa's home, or rather, her underground laboratory.
Fortunately, it was underground, so this Dragon Scourge did not damage Lisa's residence.
"I think you should know why I'm looking for you," Lisa said, taking out a bottle of wine and two wine glasses from the wine cabinet and gently placing them in front of Su Xuan.
"You want me to restore Mondstadt after the Dragon Scourge?" Su Xuan said directly.
After all, he had already recorded the specific situation of the Mondstadt Dragon Scourge in his diary.
With Ying Mei and Barbatos, there was no need for him to intervene in the Dragon Scourge matter.
Another point was Lisa's fate; she needed more time, and her purpose in inviting Su Xuan was to obtain immortality from him.
However, Su Xuan did not believe that, given Lisa's character, she would only care about herself while Mondstadt was in ruins.
"Before I tell you why I invited you, I should first tell you something beyond your expectation."
After Lisa filled their glasses, she crossed her shapely legs and sat opposite Su Xuan.
"The blonde auntie you mentioned in your diary did not appear in Mondstadt today."
"Didn't appear?" Su Xuan was stunned, and at the same time, he activated his Psychokinesis to scan.
After searching for a moment, he indeed did not find Lumine and Paimon in Mondstadt.
Continuing to extend his search, he then discovered that not far from the outskirts of Mondstadt, two figures were walking in the opposite direction of Mondstadt.
Above them, a completely green-clad fellow was following them all the way.
"No wonder I was wondering why the damage to Mondstadt was more severe than I had imagined."
"Without the blonde auntie's obstruction, Dvalin had a thoroughly good time causing havoc," Su Xuan said with an indifferent smile.
As for why Lumine suddenly changed course and headed in the opposite direction of Mondstadt, Su Xuan could probably guess most of it.
It was likely that Lumine had taken him for a suspicious person.
[There's a slight problem with the development of events.]
[The blonde auntie doesn't seem to have come to Mondstadt; at this moment, she and Paimon are walking on a forest path gradually moving away from Mondstadt.]
[If the blonde auntie truly ignores Dvalin, even if Lord Barbatos comes, he can only reluctantly kill Dvalin, who is a Wind God's Dependents.]
[After all, in this world, currently, the only people who can cleanse the Abyss, besides me, are the blonde auntie.]
[By the way, Lord Barbatos is currently standing on a tree branch, following the blonde auntie all the way.]
[As long as the blonde auntie and Paimon look up, they will see a young man with braids, dressed all in green with white stockings.]
[He will kindly trick you, saying his name is Venti, a bard who has won Mondstadt's poetry championship three times in a row.]
On the forest path on the outskirts of Mondstadt.
Paimon and Lumine simultaneously widened their eyes and looked at each other.
Lumine had no idea that the blonde aunt Su Xuan had been mentioning since Inazuma was herself.
Wait!
Lumine's heart trembled. Su Xuan said that she and Paimon were walking on a forest path, moving away from Mondstadt City.
This meant that her and Paimon's whereabouts were completely exposed to Su Xuan's prying eyes.
Recalling that Su Xuan's Psychokinesis could cover the entire Yashiori Island and he knew the exact details of the few remaining people on the island.
Lumine's heart sank. This implied that after Su Xuan learned she hadn't entered Mondstadt, he had already used Psychokinesis to pinpoint her location.
Furthermore, if Su Xuan wished, he could use Psychokinesis at this very moment to control Lumine and bring her before him.
"Lumine! What do we do now! Our movements are completely exposed to Su Xuan's pursuit," Paimon said, flustered.
But when the words reached her lips, only strange gibberish came out.
"Huh?" Paimon froze.
Lumine's reaction was much quicker than hers.
Connecting it to the special nature of the Diary Copy, which prevented them from speaking the diary's contents or related information to anyone other than Su Xuan or a Diary Copy Holder.
That proved there was someone nearby, without a Diary Copy, eavesdropping.
Lumine suddenly looked up at the sky, and sure enough, just as Su Xuan had said, a pair of white stockings stood out brightly in the moonlight.
Venti: "! ?"
What's going on? My movements were actually discovered by her?
As expected of her!
Seeing his presence exposed, Venti leaped directly from the tree branch, landed in front of Lumine, and, scratching his head with a silly grin, said, "Ehe... I've been discovered..."
"But don't worry, I have no ill intentions whatsoever."
"My name is Venti, and I'm a bard."
Lumine: "....."
Paimon: "..."
The two looked at each other with a sidelong glance, ignoring the jumping Venti.
Lumine sighed: "Ah."
"Paimon, let's go back..."
Hearing Lumine's sigh, Paimon vaguely understood her decision.
Since Su Xuan could directly use Psychokinesis to pinpoint their movements, running away was pointless.
If running away was pointless, then they could only confront him. If things weren't as Lumine initially thought, then she could get information about Aether from Su Xuan.
With that thought, Lumine and Paimon turned around and walked back towards Mondstadt City.
Venti: "? ? ? ? ?"
No, wait, at least say something! What kind of ignoring is this?
