Genshin Impact: I, the Winter's Executor, am forced to work.

Page 123

"As per your request, although it will take some time to obtain the Heart of the Geo God, the Heart of the Thunder God has been brought back as planned."

I wonder if Zhongli is secretly fighting against that Abyss King. After returning from Inazuma, he stayed in Liyue for five days of vacation, but he only listened to three music performances, six storytelling performances, ate fifteen meals, and spent less than eight figures of Mora.

Incidentally, she helped Qin Ye restore the jade disc, but it seemed unable to help protect against fatal damage anymore; it was merely an object for display and play.

"Hmm... In this way, the undercurrents on the chessboard become even more turbulent."

Piero silently placed the Heart of God on the chessboard and threw the ordinary pieces off the board.

"But the folly I've been waiting for has finally taken a turn for the better."

"..."

It's roughly saying that a faction like the Abyss has finally started stirring up trouble, and the Fatui's plan has achieved its first step.

That's basically the idea.

My dislike for riddle tellers actually started with the old man, and before I knew it, I had been influenced by him.

"Are you already aware of Rosalyn's situation?"

Now we've finally gotten to the main topic.

"Yes, I've received news about Mondstadt."

How long until Liyue's plan enters its final stage?

Qin Ye immediately understood the other party's subtext and made up a lie: "Soon, it probably won't take long."

"soon?"

Piero uttered a questioning sound.

"Um..."

Since you've already figured it out, why bother asking me?

Qin Ye silently cursed in his heart.

I hope the old man stays in good health.

"But I should have time to go to Mondstadt before that, but it will probably be very tight, and I'm afraid I might mess up both of them by accident."

He wanted to try again.

Piero gently picked up the chess piece and admired it before his eyes: "Then when Arecino sets off, you should go with her."

"?"

I @#￥%

Qin Ye took a deep breath.

Anyway, he was going to cause trouble for the Abyss, but he'd rather send other executors to suffer.

Lady, servant, fool...

In addition, there's the law that wherever the fool is, the girl will be too.

Are all four executives working together again?

It seems the old man must have a deep connection with all the secrets behind this.

If it weren't for the Abyss's hostility towards the Seven Gods, and the fact that the old man was under the Empress's nose, he would have suspected that the Chief was in contact with the Abyss.

"After Mondstadt returns, all your actions shall be in accordance with your will."

Piero added a sentence.

Qin Ye's eyes darted around, and he rubbed his hands together with a smile: "Look at what you're saying, how could I possibly disobey your orders? It's just Mondstadt, and I got him to raise the Winter's Banner overnight."

"?"

"By the way, sir, I have another request."

"Please feel free to speak."

"Can you leave the arrangements for D'Artagnan to me?"

Piero shook his head indifferently: "He's always been your man, you can do whatever you want with him."

Qin Ye smiled with relief: "Okay, I'm glad to have your assurance."

(Note: The "IF" statements mentioned earlier refer to events that would have occurred after the protagonist refused.)

Chapter 134 Important Family Members?

"Doesn't that mean that even if you include the time spent traveling, you only have one month of personal leisure time..."

Tatiana's tone was somewhat dissatisfied. The only time she had to rest since returning from Inazuma was in Liyue, but Qin Ye clearly wasn't in the mood to enjoy it. After returning to Winterfall, he started working again.

We finally have some time to rest, and now they're assigning tasks again?

Why didn't the executives have so many requirements before?

"It's alright. In the case of other executives who all dislike each other, having me as a reluctant glue would be part of the old man's plan."

Qin Ye picked up the teacup, stared at his reflection in the tea, and hesitated to drink it.

I feel that Piero must have anticipated my attitude towards the Abyss, which is why he understood why I would reluctantly agree to his plan.

Or perhaps he learned about Tatiana from the Empress?

I always felt that his relationship with the Empress was not just a simple superior-subordinate one, and that their goals might not even be exactly the same.

As for further analysis...

Sometimes, speculation only needs to be hinted at; the more you think about it, the more likely you are to deviate from the essence of the matter and potentially affect future plans.

Before you're completely certain, let your doubts linger for a while.

Moreover, Columbia may know just as much as they do, which is one of the reasons why Qin Ye tries so hard to choose to believe her.

Before going to Mondstadt, go see the Doctor. He has a history of collaborating with Columbia and should know something about it.

If we can find out anything from it, that would be the best outcome.

only...

He glanced furtively at the girl sitting next to him and sighed inwardly.

I can't let her think that I'm asking around because I don't trust her.

What's the best way to phrase it?

Wouldn't it be easier to gain her trust if I honestly admitted it...?

The sound of the wall being breached interrupted Qin Ye's thoughts.

"?"

He quickly stood up: "What do you mean? Who's come to interrogate me?"

Has Spark Knight come to Winter Travel?

The heavy thud of machinery coming from outside made Qin Ye instantly realize who it was.

"..."

Although roosters and rich people don't enter through the main gate, at least they don't cause trouble. I really didn't expect you to just barge in like that.

The machine wearing a gentleman's top hat stopped outside the courtyard. The petite woman wore a Bonnet hat and a long dress in the style of Fontainebleau under her Fool's coat.

"Hehe, it's been a long time, Qin Ye."

“This doesn’t seem like something a long-lost friend would do, Sandone.”

Hearing the familiar voice, Qin Ye wasn't annoyed at all; after all, this kind of thing had happened more than once or twice.

So I didn't feel guilty at all for taking her things.

"You too, it's been a long time, Columbia, Tatiana."

[Puppet] Sandoni, with elegant and slow steps, sat down next to Columbia.

"good."

Qin Ye nodded in satisfaction, already standing in front of the giant robot, carefully examining it from head to toe: "Not bad, Pronia, you're getting more and more handsome."

He reached out and patted the other's steel arm, making a 'bang bang' sound.

As his fingers traced the smooth, mechanical skin, the man's expression grew increasingly relaxed.

"So Sandone, when are you planning to get me one as a ride? Last time I went to Liyue, I rode in my own rock artifact."

"Heh. Putting aside how difficult it would be to create a robot like Pronia, even if it were made, I wouldn't give it to you. Besides, didn't you walk to Nata and Liyue by yourself?"

"...How can they be the same? He is a military general, and I am a civil official. We are responsible for different areas."

Qin Ye argued that he had little interest in ordinary one-eyed babies; only creations like this one, which combined mechanical engineering with modern technology, could elevate his status.

"Let's talk about it another time."

Do you still want research funding next year?

"You can refuse to give it to me, and I'll ask Pantalone for it, or I can simply stop the research, in which case you won't get anything either."

"...So you learned how to threaten people from me, didn't you?"

Sandone took the tea from Tatiana's hand and sipped it slowly, looking quite happy.

"No, I'm tired of talking, I don't want to talk anymore."

"..."

I remember when you were invited to give a speech to the new recruits, you scared them so much that they didn't dare to move.

As a result, their true colors were revealed in private.

"By the way, did you deliver the message I entrusted to the skirmishers?"

"You're talking about the Eye of God, right?"

Qin Ye briefly recounted what he had seen and heard.
