Qin did not realize that her thoughts coincided with those of a certain god of wisdom. She was expecting Xie Yan's final palm to fall, but she lay there for a long time and nothing happened.

"Huh?" Qin turned her head with some dissatisfaction. Why didn't the gold medal ADC Xie Yan output again? Did you go to AFK and take a shower?

Xie Yan did not indeed strike out the third palm strike, but it was not because he wanted to take a shower himself, but because he wanted to give Qin a bath... ahem, well, it was mainly because Qin's condition was not quite right.

If Yingmei is the supreme bone, then Captain Qin is the supreme buttocks, so how come the educational progress has improved by leaps and bounds?

"Why... don't you want to fight anymore?" Qin spoke first, her eyes a little resentful, she was ready to be beaten.

Could it be that the Knights’ office affected Xie Yan’s performance, or the room was not good enough?

Xie Yan seemed to have noticed something. He looked at Qin and found that Qin's movements were a little more docile than last night. Her upper body was lying on the desk, which further reflected a sense of submission.

He delivered the last strike, and amid Qin's complicated sighs, he had a new idea: perhaps he could add some more conditions, not just using his hands.

Qin continued to be beaten, and only stood up after a long time. There was some longing in her eyes, but she quickly regained her senses.

This feeling of giving her whole heart and soul made her feel relaxed, but when she came to her senses, she felt a little scared. If Xie Yan had made some more requests, Qin estimated that she would have agreed.

Looking around at this moment, she was in her own office. If Lisa and the others saw this, Qin felt that there would be no other way out except to drag them into the water.

Wait, if we include Amber, You, and Yingmei, doesn’t this mean we have to conduct team building for the Knights in our own office?

Xie Yan glanced outside the door and asked in a deep voice, "What do you want to ask?"

Qin was about to speak, but hesitated... Mond not only needs development now, but also has many historical problems to solve. Moreover, she finally realized that freedom built on the sacrifice of a few people is not real freedom.

The Lawrence family can be said to have brought this upon themselves, but what did You do wrong? Look at Diluk and his father, they also sacrificed themselves for the so-called greater good, and even Jean herself was a victim.

"I want to ask, how can we effectively change Mondstadt's current situation?" Qin suddenly acted cunningly and asked a more comprehensive question.

Xie Yan looked at her with interest. He didn't expect Qin to be able to think of this. It seemed that she had really gotten the idea.

But Xie Yan just smiled casually: "Your question is very good, but I will also increase the price."

"Raise the price?" Qin's face froze, and then she glared at him angrily: "How can you raise the price?"

"The right to explain is in my hands, and you don't have to ask."

"...Okay, so how would you like to add it?"

Xie Yan recalled Qin's reluctant but welcoming look, as well as the progress he vaguely sensed. He pursed his lips and said, "Before I leave Mondstadt, let me take three shots a day. If you have other requests during the process, that will be calculated separately."

Qin looked at him in embarrassment and anger. When Xie Yan thought she was going to object, Qin sighed and nodded reluctantly.

But in fact, Qin felt that her reluctance accounted for only about 20% to 30%. The reluctance on her face was probably just because she didn't want Xie Yan to know her true thoughts, or in other words, it was to comfort her heart.

Yes, she had already told herself that this was the last time, but Xie Yan insisted on making this request and she had no choice.

After experiencing that ultimate sense of relaxation, Jean subconsciously craved for more... Well, let's just consider it as a sacrifice for Mondstadt.

Xie Yan pulled out a chair and sat down, saying in a deep voice: "To change the current situation in Mondstadt, to put it bluntly, we need to start with the Knights and the residents. The latter requires the guidance of the Wind God himself. For now, we can only continue to improve the efficiency of the Knights and solve the problems of the other two ancient nobles."

Qin nodded when she heard this. Xie Yan's views coincided with hers, but she had some doubts about the team building of the Knights.

"Doesn't the Knights already have residents supervising this place?"

"To maintain a system for a long time, supervision is one aspect, and the system needs strict discipline and firm faith. Do people like Goodwin and Swan look capable of getting things done? I doubt how they got into the Knights Templar."

Xie Yan still did not hide his thoughts, which made Qin look embarrassed. If it were before, she would definitely argue with him, but now she didn't have the energy... She suspected that if it happened a few more times, when Xie Yan asked her to pose, she would do it without thinking.

Qin reminded herself again to stick to the bottom line, and then softly introduced: "Honorary knights are exceptions. If you want to officially join the Knights, you need to pass the dual assessment of the church and our internal examination. Swan and others performed relatively well before being awarded the honor."

"You mean to say that you have reviewed both of the points I mentioned?"

"Well, Swan and his men are strong enough and usually abide by the rules. As for their faith, they used to go to church to pray frequently, so they should be OK."

Xie Yan's eyes were thoughtful. He didn't know whether these people started to go with the flow after joining the Knights Templar because the atmosphere in the Knights Templar was too chaotic, or whether their purpose of joining the Knights Templar was not pure and they were just pretending during the probation period.

"In fact, we have also been worried about the assessment." Jean fiddled with her hair awkwardly. "Mond is not like Inazuma, where there is a transcendent existence like Yae Miyabi. We can only judge a person's faith by his demeanor during prayer. Swan and the others are praying very devoutly now."

Xie Yan looked at her speechlessly: "In fact, even in a country without God, one can still identify faith. To be precise, instead of paying attention to what a person says, it is better to observe what he does. Judging by deeds rather than the heart is the right way."

Qin was stunned for a moment, as if she was inspired. The Knights shouted slogans loudly, but in the end they were content to just walk around, enjoy the cool air, and play cards.

"Take Goodwin for example. Being a deserter is one thing. The last dragon disaster caused monsters to attack the city. This time there are monsters surging around the temple. He is clearly nearby but he refused to go into the city to report the news. He even boasted that he missed the Knights and his girlfriend. Do you think it's credible?"

"this..."

Xie Yan explained the performance mechanism to her and concluded, "No matter what the reason is for them to be so sluggish, only by changing the assessment from the root can we make them take the initiative to work. Since they have become knights and received high salaries, they must take responsibility."

Qin was reluctant to interfere with the freedom of her subjects, but she had high standards for knights and soon agreed with Xie Yan's point of view.

If she had a daughter, she would definitely train her to be the Knight King.

However, Mond is far behind Inazuma in the evaluation system. To put it bluntly, everyone eats from the same pot and just has to wait for Jean and Noelle to finish their work. This results in Jean not even having any basic ideas and can only stare at him helplessly.

Xie Yan wanted to pat her twice, but suddenly changed his mind and pointed at his thighs to Qin: "If you have anything to say, sit down and talk first."

Qin's eyes widened slightly, but it was nothing to just sit on his lap and talk, it was still within her tolerance.

The most important thing is that after taking the first step of submission, Qin had no intention of resisting Xie Yan. Moreover, Xie Yan taught her step by step, and the conditions he proposed were not excessive, just like boiling a frog in warm water.

Damn it, how do you know so much!

Even if you turn me into a female knight with hearts in her eyes, sticking out her tongue, and making a scissors hand gesture, I will not surrender!

Qin took two steps forward and walked in front of Xie Yan, then sat on his lap without even looking at him.

Then--

She felt something was wrong with her leg and subconsciously moved it, but it made her feel even more uncomfortable.

"People only have two legs, right?" Qin fell into deep thought.

But after a moment of hesitation, Qin reacted quickly, and cried out as if he had encountered a beast of burden on Mount Sumeru, and quickly stood up, looking at Xie Yan in disbelief.

Even if she was a female knight from the Gunhild family, she couldn't control this beast of burden!

Sure enough, her previous thought was correct. Barbara must not be allowed to know about this.

"I just asked you to sit on my lap, can't you just be quiet?" Xie Yan had a strange look on his face. If it weren't for Qin's surprised reaction, he would have doubted who the prey was.

However, after thinking about it for a while, Xie Yan felt that he was overthinking it. Even the Great Compassion Tree King was his prey, and Nashida could only curl up in the quilt and pray with tears in her eyes that he would not bully her mother. How could a girl with a mere long buttocks become the host?

But Qin's exclamation also attracted the attention outside. Lisa was the first to push open the door to check, and saw her best friend looking at Xie Yan with shyness and anger, with a slightly charming blush on her face.

Others might not be able to see it, but Lisa knew that Qin's embarrassment was definitely not forced by Xie Yan. If she had no feelings for Xie Yan, she would definitely have a stern face at this time.

This scared Lisa. She just said she wanted to use Qin's husband to bargain, but Qin really had a lover?

But this also explains why Xie Yan gave Qin advice, and why Qin was so angry just now but the first thing she thought of was looking for Xie Yan.

No, that's not right. If that's the case, why didn't Qin feel embarrassed to ask Xie Yan for advice? Xie Yan couldn't whip her, right?

Lisa didn't think too much about it. Given Xie Yan's status, it would be very rude if she didn't treat him well, so she hurried forward and asked a few questions.

Qin knew that she had sat in the wrong place. She just glanced at Xie Yan shyly and then tried to get away with it by saying that she was "discussing important matters".

Xie Yan, Yingmei, Amber and Youdian nodded, then looked at Lisa.

She wore a purple wide-brimmed magic hat and had a charming look on her face. On her plump chest hung the Eye of the God of Thunder. Her slightly plump legs were tightly wrapped in black lace stockings, showing the charm of a big sister.

Honestly speaking, if it wasn't for the fact that her E skill was so easily knocked out by the Hilichurls, Xie Yan would definitely practice Lisa when the server was first launched.

Of course, the game mechanism is one thing. In reality, Lisa’s strength is not weak. She is considered the backbone of the Knights Templar and the only mage character in the group. It was because of her that the source of the earth vein disorder was discovered during the dragon disaster.

However, Lisa herself obviously does not intend to meddle in the affairs of the Knights Templar and only wants to do her own job well. In other words, even if she did, it would be useless. If Jean does not change her ideas, the people of Mondstadt will become more and more like giant babies in the future, and there will be more and more commissions.

But to be honest, Lisa has a good vision. For ordinary people, being a librarian in the Knights Templar really saves them 40 years of detour.

Lisa was also looking at him. When she saw Xie Yan looking at her, a slight smile appeared on her pretty face. "Your Highness Xie Yan, I heard about your reforms in Xumi. Well... when the Knights are settled down, I want to go to Xumi with you. I heard that Xumi is holding an academic exchange conference on alchemy."

Lisa was indeed very interested in Xie Yan, especially when she heard that Xie Yan had beaten the sages around and made Azar recognize him as his father. She almost laughed to death when she heard the news.

But when Lisa sent out the invitation at this time, she was mainly secretly watching Qin's reaction... Sure enough, when Qin heard that she wanted to go to Xumi with Xie Yan, her face seemed a little unhappy.

But seeing that her best friend really has hope of finding her partner, and that her partner is a god, Lisa feels a little unbalanced. She herself doesn't know how long she will remain single.

I'm not only afraid of my brother's hardship, but also afraid of my brother driving a Land Rover!

As Lisa finished speaking, Amber behind her also became interested: "Can you take me with you to Xumi?"

"Do you also want to attend the academic exchange conference?"

"I'm not a scholar like you, Lisa. I just want to go see Cole. I heard from her that Xumi will hold a training for forest rangers in a while, and I also want to exchange ideas and learn from them."

As Amber spoke, she turned to look at Xie Yan with a full-of-energy smile.

"Well, after Mond's affairs are resolved, I will go to Xumi to train Cole in person. Amber, if you want to come, you can follow me. I can teleport you there together."

"Really? Hehe, then I must take a closer look at how Cole trains."

Amber's eyes were sparkling when she saw Cole again... Mond and Xumi were too far apart, and it was difficult for her to go to Xumi unless there was a long vacation. Before, she could only communicate with Cole through letters.

Xie Yan could understand her excitement, but looking at the green hair accessory on Amber's head, he always felt that the conversation between the two just now was a bit strange.

Amber watched him drill Cole?

If one more word was missing, it would be even weirder, especially since Xie Yan still had to practice excellent swordsmanship during this period.

Thinking of this, Xie Yan silently turned around and glanced at You. She also looked at Xie Yan as if she had telepathy, and remembered the "battle suit" that Amber chose for her. Her fair face was slightly flushed.

It was obviously Amber's enthusiasm that melted the ice in her heart, but Xie Yan occupied the most special position... No, everything will be fine after Xie Yan leaves.

But thinking about it this way, Amber seems more like the victim.

The two looked at each other, then looked away, each with their own thoughts.

Xie Yan thought that he should go back and explain to Kelai that she should not give Amber green hair accessories in the future. This girl seemed to have no concept of green at all. He still remembered Kelai's brighter green hair on the second day of the Worry-Free Festival. Even the Great Compassion Tree King couldn't stand it.

At this time, Amber asked Qin how to deal with Goodwin, her little face full of worry... It's not that she and Goodwin have a good relationship in private, Amber is so enthusiastic towards everyone.

Although she was also very angry after hearing Goodwin's confession, Amber couldn't help feeling a little reluctant when she thought that the best outcome for him might be exile.

She doesn't have any lofty ideals or ambitions. She just wants everyone in Mondstadt to live happily together. Even if she is a little tired at work, it is worth it if she can help the people of Mondstadt.

Qin had thought the same thing before. She could understand Amber, but she also knew the mistake was there. She briefly explained that she was going to update the assessment mechanism.

"In short, since you have joined the Knights, you must bear the corresponding responsibilities. They really went too far in the past."

"Qin, but Goodwin may still have a chance to correct himself. He used to go to church and pray..."

Qin hesitated for a moment and looked at Xie Yan for help, but soon calmed down: "I don't care what he said. He has not made any contribution since joining the Knights. He reported the monsters attacking the city twice, but he didn't cherish the opportunity to redeem himself and would rather wander outside the city. If that's the case, he should bear the due price."

Lisa and You looked at Qin in great surprise. Neither of them expected that Qin, who was always gentle, could have such a fierce side.

But as Jean's good friends, both of them were relieved...If Jean was just an ordinary knight, her indecision and excessive kindness would not be a big deal, but since she is a decision maker, she has to consider more people.

Amber seemed to understand something, with a thoughtful look in her eyes.

Her silence affected the atmosphere a little, but Lisa was also a talkative person, so she quickly changed the subject and asked Xie Yan about ways to govern Mondstadt.

But Qin had already discussed it with Xie Yan before, so there was no way she would let Lisa ask too many questions. It would be too awkward if Lisa was involved.

Let her do the sacrifice!

Qin was still conflicted at the moment. She wanted to enjoy the comfortable feeling of letting go of everything, but because of her past education and beliefs, she didn't dare to indulge in it. She could only take one step at a time.

No, she still has to persevere. She wants to set a good example for Barbara!

Qin's faith suddenly rekindled. As for the next time she gets beaten... forgive me, Barbara, this is the last time!

After chatting for a while, it was almost time to get off work. Xie Yan was ready to return to his villa with Qin. When he walked out of the office door, Kaiya had just completed the interrogation task.

Qin had already done the ideological work for Amber, so Amber didn't ask any more questions, and everyone else also tacitly didn't mention it.

But looking at the backs of Xie Yan and others leaving, Kaiya couldn't help but call them.

A hint of struggle flashed across his dark face, and he said in a rare serious tone, "Captain Jean, if possible, I would like to ask you to restore Diluc's status in the Knights."

Kaeya is a very smart man. He once thought about quitting the Knights Templar with Diluk, but he knew that it was just the whim of youth. Neither the Bishop nor the Grand Master would allow the image of the Knights Templar to be destroyed.

Since they had made the decision to take credit for something, it was impossible for them to tell the truth.

But now it’s different. Kaeya doesn’t know whether Xie Yan likes to kill Mond people or wants to be a partner of justice, but as long as Diluk’s knot can be resolved, everything is worth it in his opinion. The Knights owed Diluk too much.

"I will give Diluk justice." Qin answered in a firm tone. She had found a new path.

Kaiya understood what Qin meant, and his face was full of mixed emotions. Finally, he smiled with relief: "I believe in Captain Qin."

Jean went to the detention room to call Klee, and Paimon took the opportunity to fly into Yingmei's ear: "I didn't expect that Kaeya and Diluk seemed to have a bad relationship, but they were actually helping each other behind the scenes."

"This is family love." Ying sighed softly, and she thought of Kong.

Yesterday, she and Xie Yan came to Benlang Territory. If Kong was observing the outside world, he should be able to see her, but he still chose not to show up.

Everyone returned home with their own thoughts.
