“Long Ge already discussed it with me yesterday.”
“I can indeed lure out Tevat Lin, but I need something. Without it, I can’t do it.”
“After all, Tevat Lin has not only lost his mind but was also injured by Long Ge.”
Since it was highly possible that Jean already knew his identity, he no longer played dumb and directly agreed.
This way, perhaps he could salvage a little bit of his image in front of Jean, his loyal believer.
Of course,
Maybe there was no image left to salvage.
But,
Tevat Lin was his familiar. He could not simply sit back and do nothing.
Seeing Venti agree, Jean was overjoyed. She hurriedly asked, "Mr. Venti, what do you need?"
“Just tell me, and I will find a way to get it.”
“Hehe, Jean, I’m just a bard. No need to be so polite. I’m feeling a bit uncomfortable.”
“As for what I need, it may be difficult for others to obtain, but it’s effortless for Jean.”
“Oh?”
Little Paimon became anxious and said, “Venti, what is it? Just say it already! You’re making me nervous!”
“No, I’m going to give you an unpleasant nickname.”
“Ugh…”
“I’ve got it. I’ll call you ‘The Street Singer’!”
“The Street Singer, hurry up and tell me!”
“Paimon, don’t just give people nicknames, it’s impolite,” Lumine admonished Paimon, her brows slightly furrowed.
However,
Venti didn’t mind at all. He chuckled and said, “It’s alright. Moreover, I’m a bard by profession anyway. The nickname ‘The Street Singer’ suits me well.”
Saying that,
Venti’s expression turned serious as he turned to Jean, “Jean, Tevat Lin is injured and won’t easily appear. To lure him out, ordinary instruments won’t do.”
“I think you know what I mean.”
Jean furrowed her brows, lost in thought.
Ordinary instruments wouldn’t do, so what was needed?
Gu Chang Ge, standing aside, looked at Venti with a speechless expression. No wonder Paimon wanted to give this lazy bum a nickname. Why couldn’t he just say it directly?
He had to make Jean guess, truly a mind-game master!
Fortunately, Jean was very smart and soon thought of the sacred relic within the Church of Favonius. She looked at Venti curiously, “Mr. Venti, you need the Lyre of the Sky?”
Venti nodded with a smile, “That’s right. It’s the Lyre of the Sky. The Lyre of the Sky contains the Anemo Archon's power. With it, we can definitely lure out Tevat Lin.”
“So it is like that?”
“I understand.”
“Mr. Venti, don’t worry. I’ll bring the Lyre of the Sky to you.”
“Mr. Venti, saving Tevat Lin is a matter of urgency. I’ll go to the Church of Favonius tomorrow morning to borrow the Lyre of the Sky, and we’ll take action at noon. How about that?”
“Good!”
“Jean is the Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius. Naturally, we all listen to Jean’s arrangements.”
“However,”
“I won’t be looking for you tomorrow. After Jean borrows the Lyre of the Sky, you can go directly to the Stormbearer Mountains.”
“That’s where Tevat Lin used to reside. It’s the best place to take action.”
“Okay, I understand. We’ll get to the Stormbearer Mountains as soon as possible tomorrow.”
“Ehey, since that’s settled, then that’s it!”
“Jean, thanks for calling me Venti. We’ve discussed everything, and we’ve had our drinks. I’m going to take my leave now.”
“Everyone, goodbye!”
As the words fell,
Venti vanished under everyone’s gaze.
He hadn’t planned on hiding his identity from Gu Chang Ge and the others.
And Jean, who he had intended to keep in the dark, already knew his identity. There was no need for him to deliberately hide it.
However,
Venti’s mysterious disappearance stunned Little Paimon. She stared blankly at the spot where Venti had been sitting, disbelief evident in her voice, “The Street Singer suddenly disappeared!”
Lumine instantly covered her face, “Paimon, don’t you see?”
“Actually, Venti is the Anemo Archon, Barbatos.”
“Eh?”
“The Street Singer is actually the Anemo Archon, Barbatos?”
“How is that possible?!”
The little guy was dumbfounded.
The Street Singer, who looked completely irresponsible, was actually the Anemo Archon, Barbatos?
Unbelievable, unbelievable!
Seeing this, Jean chuckled wryly. It wasn’t just Paimon who found it hard to believe. Even she, after guessing Venti’s identity, was equally surprised and incredulous.
Gu Chang Ge looked at the three women beside him, then at Little Paimon, and said softly, “Okay, stop being surprised. We’ve known Venti’s identity all along. You’re the only one who hasn’t figured it out.”
“What do you mean? Paimon isn’t a fool!”
“Hehe, alright, alright, Paimon isn’t a fool.”
“It’s pretty late now. Lia, Lumine, I’ll take Jean back. You two take Paimon back home.”
Upon hearing this, the two women exchanged glances and nodded slightly.
Gu Chang Ge didn’t hesitate. With a thought, he sent the three women back to the Underworld. Then he turned to Jean, “Jean, I’ll take you back.”
Jean stared blankly at Gu Chang Ge, her delicate face filled with confusion, “Chang Ge, they…?”
“Hehe, don’t be surprised. I have a pocket dimension, and Lia and I usually live in it.”
“Now that Lumine and Paimon are traveling with us, they’re also living there.”
“I just sent them back.”
Jean pursed her lips,
So Chang Ge actually possesses such a wondrous thing!
What is this pocket dimension like?
What’s the difference between it and Teyvat?
So curious!
Would she be able to go and take a look?
Of course,
While Jean’s heart was a little moved, she was already very shy being alone with Gu Chang Ge. To actually suggest going to take a look at his pocket dimension, she truly couldn’t do it.
“Chang Ge, let’s go.”
Gu Chang Ge nodded, turning to Jean, “Jean, where do we go? Should we go back to the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius?”
Jean pondered for a moment, then shook her head, “No need. Tomorrow is important. We need to get a good night’s rest today so that we can have enough energy to deal with things tomorrow. Let’s go directly home.”
“Alright, I’ll take you home.”
Gu Chang Ge smiled slightly and took the lead, walking towards the downstairs.
Jean blinked, looking at Gu Chang Ge with a hint of suspicion, and quickly followed.
Soon,
The two left the Angel’s Share and walked side by side along the street.
This feeling was something Jean had never experienced before, from childhood to adulthood.
But it had to be said, walking side by side with Gu Chang Ge felt very reassuring!
She turned her head and quietly glanced at Gu Chang Ge beside her. A faint smile appeared on Jean’s lips, and a thought arose in her heart—if time could forever stop at this moment, how wonderful that would be!
