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

On the other hand, Arecino's speed and efficiency in arriving in Mondstadt from the north are definitely faster than the three of us, and it's highly likely that she has already infiltrated Mondstadt with Rosalind's help.

Sometimes, being a complete fool in public, like the lady, is a happy thing...

At least you don't have to use your brain too much.

I'll be thankful as long as she doesn't get carried away when she sees Barbatos and do something really heart-wrenching.

"Qin, are we going to Mondstadt next...?"

Seeing that Qin Ye was almost finished with his thoughts, Columbia interjected with a question at the opportune moment.

"That is indeed my plan. Although I cannot meet with the lady and servants, I have some questions that I would like to ask Catherine at the Adventurers' Guild for confirmation."

Just as the abyss doesn't easily reveal its whereabouts, their objective before the Stormterror was controlled was naturally not within the city, and...

Barbatos may be a master of slacking off, but he can still be useful in crucial moments... right?

Furthermore, the Empress explicitly stated that she severed ties with the Wind God five hundred years ago. If you were to say that there wasn't some underhanded dealing involved, no normal person would believe it.

The three passed through Springvale, the center of the world, and soon arrived at the bridge in Mondstadt.

"..."

To put it more sensibly, Mondstadt's terrain is vast and open, with clear skies and gentle breezes, making the environment feel so free and unrestrained.

Low emotional intelligence is...

It was completely bare, with nothing there.

"Tatiana, what's wrong?" Qin Ye noticed that his adjutant seemed to want to say something, but her mouth opened and closed several times without her being able to utter a word.

"Brother Qin Ye, I'm sorry, I'm just a little curious. Why is it that in a free city-state like this, there aren't even any pedestrians on the bridge in front of the city gate, and even pigeons dare to stand nearby foraging for food?"

"..."

Qin Ye stopped and carefully chose his words: "Perhaps they want to protect the rights of pigeons, otherwise it would be discrimination against the freedom of life."

"...I see." Tatiana fell into thought after hearing the explanation, not forgetting to add, "As expected of Brother Qin Ye..."

We still need to work hard to understand its deeper meaning.

Plop plop

As soon as I stepped onto the bridge, almost simultaneously all the pigeons realized the stranger was approaching. They raised their heads and made "cooing" sounds, turning their heads from side to side. Finally, led by the first pigeon that flew away, they all fled into the sky.

"What are you doing! You scared the pigeons away!"

Colombia simply turned her head slightly, ignoring the other person, and planned to go straight into the city.

“…Little friend, this bridge is the only way to Mondstadt, there’s nothing we can do about it.” Out of love for the child, Tatiana knelt down to explain to Timmy earnestly.

But the child started arguing back.

“What do you mean there’s no way?! Mom said that as long as you love this world, no little animal will be afraid of you! You must sincerely apologize to them.”

Qin Ye stopped and looked at the professional farmer who produced Sweet Flower Chicken with a deep gaze.

It would be beneath me, an executive, to argue with a child.

He snapped his fingers.

Therefore, in order to avoid any unpleasant incidents, Qin Ye had already made preparations.

In the sky, small stone cages fell to the ground, and then the rock element gradually dissipated, revealing pigeons standing blankly on the ground.

Timmy also showed the same shocked expression.

Qin Ye reached out and patted the other's head: "Little friend, I was just joking with you. Now that the pigeons are back, I'll go and take care of my own business."

But then the other party shouted, "Why restrict the pigeons' right to seek their own freedom?!"

"..."

Okay, you're still a cut above the rest.

"Little friend, I really have something to do. Next time, I'll bring some feed to apologize to the pigeons."

"Really?"

"Of course." Qin Ye's smile was unusually kind, and he made a pinky promise with Timmy.

Although I, a fool, cannot stoop to such low standards, the traveler is different.

In the future, when I teach her to use elemental power, it would be reasonable if she accidentally lost control due to a gust of wind and blew all the pigeons away, right?

Chapter 147 The Wronged Child Has Arrived

"It's quite lively..."

Tartaglia stood in front of Liyue Harbor, gazing at the endless queue, and couldn't help but admire Liyue's prosperity.

But he believes that if he gave his partner another ten years...

No, five years.

By winter, it will become like Liyue Harbor.

It possesses both great strength and a prosperous population.

Initially, he wanted to get more training and more fights, but after spending so much time with his friends, they were inevitably inspired by his ideals.

As for the dream of becoming the heart of Teyvat, that's something for the rich.

Don't give away the business your partner has worked so hard to build, or don't blame me for turning against him.

But the most important question now is...

How can I enter the port before dark?

"Oh? This friend looks somewhat familiar. Are you an acquaintance of Brother Qin?" A calm and composed voice came from behind the young master.

"What? He's actually Qin Keqing's friend? Isn't that my friend too?" Another lively female voice immediately chimed in.

Tartaglia turned to the side, pondering in his mind the tutoring his companion had given him with the great figures of Liyue.

The head of the Hall of Rebirth, and the mission objective...

"Greetings, you two. I am your partner... Qin Ye's good brother, the eleventh seat of the Fatui Executive, [Young Master] Tadalia."

"I mean... you actually just blurted out your whole situation?" Hu Tao was speechless. This Eleventh Seat seemed a little dim-witted.

Qin Keqing was clearly the twelfth seat...

Does "twelve seats" mean one person is equivalent to twelve?

"My partner mentioned you two to me... just a moment."

Dadalia stayed close to the group to prevent others from cutting in front of him.

He continued, "So he didn't let me keep too much from him."

"..."

It's confirmed: the eleventh seat is the twelfth seat's subordinate!

"Since this friend is an executor of the Fatui, given the relationship between Liyue and Winter, you should have special access, right?"

Zhongli spoke up, his brows furrowed, wondering why Qin Ye had sent such a unique executor to Liyue.

He took a deep breath.

But in any case, this signifies that the handover is complete.

"what..."

D'Artagnan opened his eyes and mouth slightly, realizing the important issue.

"Ahem." A light cough covered up Ya Ya's embarrassment: "Please wait a moment, gentlemen. After I finish dealing with my important business, I will invite you to dinner."

"Then I'll head back now."

Disappointment showed in Hu Tao's eyes.

It's all the old man's fault for suggesting such a practical solution right off the bat. I was thinking of having this "young master" say he was buying something for Qin Keqing, and using that as an excuse to send him to Liyue Harbor.

Tartaglia strode forward and headed straight for the gates of Liyue. However, he also noticed that the checks at Liyue were now much stricter than on any previous visit.

Is the large influx of people because the invocation ceremony for immortals, as my partner mentioned, is about to begin?

"Please stop here. Please show your identification to enter the special passage."

"The Executor of the Fools [Young Master]".

D'Artagnan casually took out his Fools' Badge and showed it to the Thousand Rocks.

"May you have a comfortable and pleasant experience in Liyue."

The soldier bowed respectfully and made way for the young master.

"..."

As a warrior, Tartaglia immediately sensed the urgency and full-armored presence of Liyue.

This is the atmosphere that soldiers will have before they prepare for war.

He suddenly burst out laughing, feeling extremely excited.

Just as I thought! No wonder my partner said this mission wasn't just about spending money!

Something big is definitely going to happen in Liyue! This mountain rain... what's that word again?

A storm is brewing; yes, the atmosphere says it all.

Don't worry, buddy! I'll definitely complete the mission perfectly!

Mond City

Qin Ye used what he thought was his greatest skill to disguise the three of them, but to his surprise, the Knights of Favonius at the door only conducted a routine check and let them in.

"..."

It's almost time for the holiday activities to start, is it really appropriate for you to be so lax?

Or is it a bit much to ask of me to incorporate the atmosphere of Winter Solstice and Liyue into this?
