One wave had not settled before another rose.
Inside the library, Jean meticulously observed Su Xuan's diary.
One particular passage caught her attention.
Lord Barbatos had sensed that Su Xuan was an important factor influencing his plans and might personally visit Su Xuan to have a talk.
"Lisa, do you think Lord Barbatos will really go talk to Su Xuan as he said?"
"I mean…"
What if Lord Barbatos's actions displeased Su Xuan and he really twisted Mondstadt, city and people alike, into a pretzel?
"I understand what you're thinking, Jean." Seeing Jean's eyes tremble with nervousness, Lisa instantly saw through her worries.
"I don't know Su Xuan as well as you might imagine, but I believe that if Lord Barbatos's actions truly caused his displeasure,"
"Even if Mondstadt isn't twisted into a pretzel, it will suffer irreversible damage."
Jean nervously swallowed, her throat dry, due to Lisa's grave expression.
Lisa's act of dedicating herself to Su Xuan last night was indeed unexpected for Jean.
Just by imagining it, the inexperienced Jean couldn't help but tremble with fear and shyness.
However, if this act was viewed purely as a transaction, Lisa was undoubtedly the biggest winner.
Besides eternal life, Lisa also gained the special ability to self-iterate her power every three months.
According to Lisa, since Su Xuan could bestow such an ability upon her, what about Su Xuan himself?
What was displayed in the diary was merely a fraction of him.
If Su Xuan was determined to make them act, how should they respond?
Just as Lisa had asked Jean: Suppose Su Xuan threatened Jean with the entire city of Mondstadt, what would Jean do?
Jean Gunnhildr fell into a state of confusion for a moment.
Her heart was deeply conflicted.
Even if eternal life wasn't that important to Jean, immense power was the foundation for protecting Mondstadt.
If she had possessed the power to defeat The Dragon Ursa back then, Mondstadt wouldn't owe the Fatui any favors.
The Fatui currently in Mondstadt wouldn't be so arrogant.
Those Citizens of Mondstadt who were forcibly conscripted would still be living freely in Mondstadt today.
It's just a pity that Jean, who had learned to "Forever Protect Mondstadt" from a young age, lacked such power.
"However, I don't think there's any need to worry." Lisa, with a smiling jade finger, pointed at a picture of Lord Barbatos.
"Look at Lord Barbatos; I guess there won't be any so-called conflict between him and Su Xuan."
Lisa didn't say it directly, but from her smile, it was clear that she thought Lord Barbatos's smile was foolish.
Such a person's temperament wouldn't be bad, and Su Xuan's character wasn't that of an unreasonable person.
Unless Su Xuan wanted to overturn Mondstadt, the probability of the two falling out was almost zero.
"Alright, it's getting late. I need to hurry back and prepare dinner, and also take care of my man." Lisa said with a laugh as she stood up to leave.
"Man… man…" Jean's pretty face instantly flushed, and she stammered, "Lisa, you…"
"It must be Su Xuan; he's been staying at my place recently," Lisa said very naturally.
"But isn't he with Lumine right now? I think for dinner, he'll probably eat out with Lumine," Jean's eyes drifted, not really knowing what she was saying.
"That has nothing to do with me going back to cook. If he doesn't come back to eat, I'll just eat alone."
"But since he said last night that he'd be staying here recently, then I definitely have to wait for him at home."
Jean's mind suddenly conjured an image of Lisa and Su Xuan living respectfully at home, and linking that with Lisa's actions last night.
Jean's heart suddenly pounded.
"Jean, your face is so red. Are you thinking of some restricted scenes again?" Lisa stared at Jean slyly, making Jean's heart flutter.
Seeing that Jean was too scared to face her directly, Lisa finally put away her witch's might and waved her hand, saying, "See you tomorrow."
However, just as Lisa was about to push open the library door, Jean's voice came from behind her again: "Lisa, do you think with my qualifications, I could persuade Su Xuan to help Mondstadt once, just once…?"
