But to their surprise, they not only encountered them, but they also encountered a black wolf.

"Fortunately, the envoy is here... Speaking of which, what's with those black wolves?"

"They are abyssal monsters, and they rarely appear."

"A...abyssal monsters?"

Barbara looked frightened. "Has the Abyss appeared? Should we...should we go back immediately and inform the Knights of Favonius?"

"Don't worry," Su Zhe said with a smile. "It's only a small part, but it's still necessary to notify them and have the Knights of Favonius guard this place to prevent innocent people from being threatened."

"Hmm!" Barbara smiled gently. "The envoy is such a kind person."

"Uh... thankfully, thankfully."

Su Zhe's lips twitched as he was inexplicably given a "friend zone" card.

"How about this, I'll take you home first."

"Then I'll leave it to you, Your Excellency."

Considering that the black wolf could reappear at any time, Barbara did not refuse.

The two headed towards Mondstadt, and along the way Barbara told them a lot about the recent changes in Mondstadt.

While the Dragon Plague brought Mondstadt enormous trouble, it also helped expose many hidden problems within the empire.

Despite its seemingly powerful nature, Mondstadt is actually incredibly fragile, hampered by the infiltration of the Fools, the threat of the Abyss Order, and the lack of self-awareness among its citizens.

Does pursuing the freedom embodied by the wind god truly mean freedom?

Qin had been thinking about this question.

If everything can be explained by the concept of freedom, then the problems hidden under this concept are easily overlooked. Although they may not be visible in the short term, they will eventually emerge with the outbreak of some event, catching people off guard.

"Chairman Jean told me a lot about the Envoy. She said that thanks to the Envoy, Mondstadt was able to overcome this crisis. The Envoy not only solved the Dragon Plague problem, but also pointed out many problems in Mondstadt. Moreover, she is very gentle and always cares about her... Hehe~ She didn't actually say that, but I could tell."

Barbara smiled sweetly.

"Whenever the leader of the ensemble talks about the Envoy, her eyes always light up... Envoy, let me tell you a secret."

The pastor stood on tiptoe and whispered in Su Zhe's ear, "I think Commander Qin definitely likes you."

"ha..."

“Really, she has never paid this much attention to anyone before.”

Although she is always referred to as 'Jin the Leader', Barbara is actually Jean's younger sister. The two understand each other very well, which is why she thinks that way.

Some things are not apparent when you're together, but once you're apart, the feelings slowly surface as you think about them day and night.

But Jean couldn't possibly abandon her work with the Knights, so all Barbara could see was the occasional hint of loneliness her sister revealed.

"My lord, now that you've returned, will you leave again?"

In response to Barbara's question, Su Zhe nodded: "I've been in Liyue, and Jean knows that. I came to Mondstadt this time to take care of some things, and I'll be leaving in about half a month."

"what?"

Barbara was a little disappointed; she had thought Su Zhe would stay.

"Why leave Mondstadt? Isn't it good here?" The girl looked puzzled. "You are the messenger of the wind god. You wouldn't feel restricted living here."

"It's not a question of whether a place is good or bad... Well, how should I put it, it's more like a sense of belonging, like how you would consider your hometown an irreplaceable place in your heart."

Su Zhe said softly.

"There are some places where you feel comfortable and happy living. It's not that Mondstadt is bad or Liyue is better, it's just that I personally prefer them."

Barbara's expression darkened, and she said nothing more.

Once they reached the bridge outside Mondstadt, Su Zhe said to her, "You should go back first."

"Isn't Your Excellency going into the city?"

"I still have some things to take care of," Su Zhe said with a smile. "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

He planned to go directly to the Wind Dragon Ruins.

The Abyss has already taken action, lest things get complicated. In any case, all they need to do is take that Ruin Guardian away.

Watching Su Zhe leave, Barbara stood there for a moment, thought for a moment, and then quickly ran towards the city.

...

"Chairman Jean, isn't Klee's confinement time over yet? This time it's been longer than before."

Inside the Knights' headquarters, in Qin's office.

Looking at the cavalry captain who had come to plead for Klee again, Jean crossed her arms and said, "Kaeya, if you didn't have other missions to handle, Klee wouldn't be the only one in solitary confinement right now."

"Alright alright."

Kaiya shrugged. "I just think we shouldn't stifle a child's nature. That wouldn't be good for her future development."

"But you should know that if you don't restrain her a bit, her nature could very well blow Mond away."

"Ha...it shouldn't be that exaggerated, right?"

In the end, even Kaiya became somewhat uncertain.

However, it's not too late to figure out a solution after something like this happens. The most urgent thing is to figure out how to get Qin to agree to release Keli. That little girl always calls out to him when he passes by, and her pleading look is so hard to refuse.

Who should I ask for help?

Diluc? No way.

Lisa? She'll kick someone when they're down.

Aberdo? Can't find it.

Just then, Barbara rushed in.

"Commander Qin, the envoy has returned!"

"Huh!?"

Jean paused slightly, "He...came to Mondstadt?"

Kaiya smiled and said, "Here it is!"

Chapter 34: Reunited with Qin, the Date Operation Begins?

Da da da.

Yay!

Inside the Knights' confinement room, the fiery red little girl ran back and forth, occasionally tiptoeing to peek out through the transparent glass opening in the door.

When I'm bored, I count one, two, three, four, five, and see how many knight orders will pass by today.

Suddenly, a handsome (×) and lewd (√) big face appeared outside the glass.

"Ah! It's Kaiya-nii!"

"Oh~ Little Klee."

Kaiya stood outside the door, waved to Klee, and smiled, "Are you alright?"

"No, no, Klee doesn't want to stay in solitary confinement! Klee wants to go out and play!"

The little girl looked aggrieved.

"Brother Kaeya, could you please talk to Jean for me? Klee promises she won't run away again next time."

I was wrong, I'll do it again next time.

Klee seems to be admitting her mistakes all the time, but you can always see her making the same mistakes again.

This type should normally be defined as a naughty child or a bad kid, but Klee is definitely an exception, because when she acts cute, even Jean, the strictest captain of the Knights of Favonius, can't stand it.

Therefore, during Klee's confinement, Jean never walked through this area, because she was afraid she would soften her heart.

"Haha~ Little Klee, don't worry, a hero will soon rescue you from the Demon King's rule."

Kaiya said with a smile.

"Really? Really? Will a hero come to save Klee?"

"Of course, the hero will defeat the evil King Jean, and then the adorable Princess Klee will appear."

"Hehe~"

Klee was beaming with excitement.

But soon, the smile on her face froze.

Kaiya continued, "Once he arrives here, even if the Demon King of the Harp is strict, it won't matter, because he is the Demon King of the Harp's nemesis. He'll make her go east, and she'll never dare to go west."

Klee ovo

"By the way, Klee, the Lantern Festival in Liyue is about to start. How about we sneak off to Liyue after we come out this time?"

Klee ovo

"Haha~ You're excited, aren't you? Speechless, right? But don't let the Demon Queen Qin know. We'll sneak away while she's being taught a lesson by the heroes."

Klee ovo

As they were talking, Kaiya suddenly sensed something was wrong.

"Klee, what's wrong? Have you been locked up for too long and are you feeling unwell? Wait a minute, I'll go find Jean..."

Kaiya suddenly felt a chill run through her body.

He swallowed hard and mechanically turned his head.

Just then, Qin crossed her arms and stared at him expressionlessly.

"Ha, haha... Leader Qin, what a coincidence."

boom! ——

The door to the solitary confinement cell opened.

The door to the solitary confinement cell was closed.
