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

With a century-long plan underway, the other six countries are short-handed. Those who are good at making decisions have already seized the opportunity, and internal strife is not advisable.

Of course, I would also love to welcome you all to Liyue. I will do my best to entertain you as the best host I can.

Don't worry about it.

He folded the letter and put it in the envelope.

Tatiana watched the whole thing, unable to sleep. After a long time of careful reading, she finally deciphered the words between the lines: "Don't test me, get out of here."

Even in a place like this, Brother Qin Ye still dares to speak his mind...

She took out her special stamp and prepared to drip... to drip wax onto the seal.

"Hold on."

Qin Ye seemed to remember something, opened the envelope again, took out the letter, and added a line at the end:

Of course, you're not included, my dear Pantalone.

Chapter 21 Schneitzvich

"Oh? Isn't this Mr. Qin Ye? It's really quite difficult to see you outside."

Qin Ye stood with his arms crossed, enjoying the sea breeze on the shore, unaware of the calls from behind.

His mind was filled with the conversation he had with someone when they were at the Three Bowls Crossing the River.

Why can't the Riddler leave Liyue?

Now, in addition to the Geo-attribute Eye of God that looks like a badge on his chest, he also has an Evil Eye and a Blank Eye of God hanging on his waist.

"Keep it safe; it will surely come in handy," Zhongli said.

"So, what exactly is Morax's intention in handing it over to me?"

Qin Ye naturally couldn't understand the purpose of getting a God's Eye after traveling so far, so he had no choice but to ask the mastermind behind it all.

But the guest minister just laughed heartily.

"Haha, Brother Qin is joking. I am just an idle person. I was only able to find a place to stay in the Hall of Rebirth thanks to the kindness of Hall Master Hu. How could I possibly know what Prince Yan is thinking?"

I'll block you with a rocky ridge...

No way, this old guy is immune to rock type.

"Old ginger is spicier," Qin Ye sighed.

"Mr. Qin Ye seems to have something on his mind?"

The sudden sound in his ear made him turn his head sharply.

Red eyes and long, white, knee-length hair came into view.

"It's Lady Ningguang."

He had just fallen into deep thought, and the other party showed no murderous intent, so he didn't notice for a moment.

"What's troubling you so much?" Ningguang felt she had seized an opportunity.

"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about whether I should cut a certain subordinate's operating budget by 90%."

"Who could possibly make a high-ranking executive officer unable to pay his salary?"

"A freeloader."

Ningguang covered her mouth and laughed: "If it were me, I wouldn't keep idle people around. In my opinion, it must be because Mr. Qin Ye was too accommodating to him before, which led to this situation."

Qin Ye nodded in agreement: "From a generally rational point of view, that's true." Then he remained silent again.

Seeing that she couldn't get any information out of him, Ningguang had no choice but to change her tactics: "Since Mr. Qin Ye is in a bad mood, how about we take a walk together at the harbor?"

"Aren't you afraid that with so many people watching at the port, some bad rumors might spread?"

"You are a smart person, and I believe you can naturally maintain the right distance."

If you put it that way, then I'm not so sure what to do...

Of course, it was just something I thought about in my mind.

Qin Ye very gentlemanly extended his hand, gesturing for the lady to go first.

"Lord Ningguang."

"You've worked hard."

You are as beautiful as ever today.

Whether it was pedestrians on the road, fishermen at the dock, or vendors hawking their wares, everyone greeted Ningguang upon seeing her.

As expected of Tianquan...

This sense of respect was fundamentally different from the one Qin Ye showed on Zhidong Street.

He doesn't get to know everyone like that. Although he has the best reputation among the twelve executives, some commoners still speak with a hint of fear to him.

"Sister Ningguang!"

Three innocent children ran from a distance and surrounded Ningguang.

"It's been a few days. How have you been, Lulu, Afei, and Xiaomeng?"

Qin Ye frowned.

Why do these children's names seem familiar?

Looking at the little girl standing at the very front, and the two little boys silently "watching" behind her.

Oh right, it's the White Album trio.

At such a young age, they're not learning good things.

"What a handsome big brother." Lulu stepped forward and took Qin Ye's hand, then suddenly turned her head away timidly: "Hey? Did I disturb Sister Ningguang?"

Qin Ye's brows furrowed even deeper.

Kid, is your tea flavor so strong?

“How could it be a disturbance? He really likes children.” The woman’s voice, unchanged, came from the side.

This person is also a master...

Ningguang took out a bag of candy and placed it in the hands of several children.

Has anything interesting happened lately?

Seeing the large amount of "bribe money," Afei volunteered.

“I know, I know! I’ve heard that a lot of older brothers and sisters who speak foreign languages ​​have recently arrived at the port. They seem to be saying something like… um, Xiao Meng, you can understand it, you tell me.”

Without saying a word, he shifted the blame to someone else.

"Sigh, I can't do anything with you. It's Inazuma. It seems Inazuma has issued some kind of eye-hunting order?"

Ningguang raised the corners of her mouth and patted his head: "I know about this. Don't stay out too late at the port these days, it might not be safe."

"it is good!"

Qin Ye was also lost in thought.

Has the Eye Hunt order begun?

Previously, Inazuma had issued a decree to isolate the country from the outside world, which was promulgated by Raijin in his pursuit of the eternity she longed for.

It seems that old man Piero will also take this opportunity to send someone to cause trouble. I wonder which lucky person will be sent to Inazuma.

Suddenly I feel a bit excited, and I must write a letter to wish them well when the time comes.

"Why is Mr. Qin Ye laughing?" Ningguang turned to ask.

"No, I just remembered some happy things."

“I had already received advance notice from Inazuma’s internal staff and had already sent people to compile a list of those who had been smuggled in.”

Why are you telling me this?

Qin Ye was filled with questions.

Wait, could it be...?

"I believe that you, sir, understand the importance of human relationships, which is why I spend a lot of time in the marketplace."

Her eyes gleamed slyly: "So, since you've obtained information from me, you should naturally exchange it for information of equal value. That's what makes the transaction fair, right?"

Qin Ye clicked his tongue: "But didn't you tell me this on your own initiative? Do I need to repay you?"

"Hehe, what I said was naturally a free gift, but the children are my spies, and their words are not free. My Lord Fool, you wouldn't want the children's hard work to go to waste, would you?"

They actually used innocent and adorable children to deceive my feelings!

What should I say...?

Not very useful, but explosive...

Have it.

Qin Ye quickly came up with a solution.

"In that case, although I cannot disclose information about the internal workings of Zhidong, I can say some things about myself."

"I'm all ears." Ningguang was clearly very interested in this topic.

“A long time ago, I had another name, Dennis Schneitzvich.”

Chapter 22 The House of Fireplaces

Winterland, the House of the Hearth.

"Brother Qin Ye! That big guy is bullying me!"

The little girl, who looked to be no more than ten years old, had two cute braids, but her eyes were a little red, and she was dragging a teddy bear that had been patched up countless times.

"Haha, Tatiana, it's been over two years since you came to the Hearth House, how come you haven't made any progress at all?"

The muscular young man reached out and tapped the little girl's head, his tone slightly teasing: "You can't rely on Dennis to shield you from the wind and rain for the rest of your life, can you?"
