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

Let's talk about it when we get to Liyue. It's a pity that this mission only involves me and Tartaglia.

I can't act rashly, so I can only deploy him alone, which is a pity.

If Columbia comes back...

I wouldn't dare to assign them to any task casually.

"Speaking of which, has that floating spirit in your bag stopped moving?"

Qin Ye suddenly remembered a certain marginal character.

“I don’t know, but she shouldn’t die.” Tatiana vouched for her with her medical license.

The bag was opened, and to prevent the other person from suffocating, the girl had kindly poked two air vents for them.

Qin Ye peeked inside.

"Hmm... Traveler, I can't eat anymore, hehe."

"Tie the bag up."

It seems I'm overthinking things.

The two arrived at the entrance to the Wind Dragon Ruins, waiting for a useful tool to return.

After all, Kong is currently working in the Abyss, and even if he is an undercover agent, he would never let his sister be in danger.

As Qin Ye expected, the golden figure rushed over anxiously, brandishing his longsword menacingly.

The sword tip struck the jade shield, producing a crisp sound.

Ying silently continued her attacks, showing no intention of communicating, while inwardly cursing under her breath.

You and Qin Ye have a scheme in mind. What do you mean by sending me on a journey through seven countries?

They didn't even tell me the reason.

'You'll understand when the time comes. If there's anything you really want to ask, Qin Ye will tell you.'

Sora's words kept echoing in her mind, making her attacks even more ferocious.

You've all finished the riddles!

Her attack lasted for nearly fifteen minutes.

Qin Ye looked up at the sun in the sky and, seeing that it had not yet set, yawned out of boredom.

"Ha ha..."

Ying's breathing became heavy, and she couldn't help but frown at the fact that she still hadn't been able to break through the opponent's defense.

"Are you calm now?" Qin Ye raised the corners of his mouth, suppressing the hint of weariness hidden in his tone, his voice full of kindness.

"..."

Doesn't this just make me even angrier?

At least my brother didn't fight back, you're just humiliating me!

Ying narrowed her eyes: "So what exactly are you plotting?"

She was still somewhat unconvinced and wanted to get a clear answer from these people.

You'll find out then.

"?"

Qin Ye reached out and patted the other person's head, continuing to comfort him, "It's okay, you'll see your brother again when you get to Liyue. Just ask him, and he'll definitely tell you."

Just kidding. If you ask me about the whole plan, I can't even tell you the whole story myself, and I probably wouldn't be able to even if I had the time.

After all, when it comes to plans, the top designer knows the whole picture, and everyone below is actually running errands for a certain part.

"..."

Ying fell silent.

Are you just trying to shift the blame onto each other?

Forget it, at least following Qin Ye is the closest and most time-saving way to get to my brother.

I just don't understand why my brother told me to stay away from him.

"Hey Ying," Qin Ye said with a friendly smile, "would you like to come to Liyue with me?"

"Of course I'll go."

Now that she has found a goal, she'll continue along that path; it's better than wandering aimlessly.

"Oh, by the way, where did Paimon go?"

She posed her final question.

Chapter 191 Zhongli Angrily Stabs Prince Yan

"You Fatui's forces are truly spread throughout the entire continent of Teyvat..."

Ying couldn't help but sigh, whether it was the involvement of the Fools of Mondstadt or the upcoming trip to Liyue, Qin Ye had his own trusted confidants.

Could it be that they were all tricked into believing this by the Fool?

To this day, I still don't know why I was tied to the warship by him from beginning to end.

"Our Fools are the largest chain in Teyvat, second only to the Mora in terms of presence among humans." Qin Ye raised an eyebrow, already used to such exclamations.

"..."

Ying chose to remain silent and turned her gaze to Paimon, who had been silent the whole way.

Bai Feifei was still watching Tatiana's expression, afraid that the other party would lock her up again.

But time heals all wounds, and now her lips are itching to make a move.

"Qin Ye, there's a small problem... is it okay for us to go to Liyue so openly?"

I heard the security checks there are pretty strict...

"It's alright. I'm brothers with the Rock Lord, and the Fatui have other officers doing missions in Liyue. We've all gotten to know each other over time."

Although Ningguang is still wary of me, it doesn't matter. After all, what bad intentions could the Fool possibly have?

"Really? Then I'm relieved!"

Paimon was in high spirits: "Qin Ye, although your character..."

Tatiana gave her a dangerous look.

"Although you are exceptionally outstanding in character, intelligence, appearance, and status, you are not at all arrogant and are quite approachable!"

"..."

Ying's eyes were full of mockery as she watched Paimon's performance with her hands on her hips.

"Ah, let's not talk about this anymore! Liyue is just around the corner!"

Bai Feifei changed the subject at the right time. The troubles along the way had been mostly resolved by the Fools, and their speed of travel was exceptionally fast.

"But why haven't we seen any Liyue people along the way? Isn't Liyue the most commercially prosperous place on the entire continent?" Ying pondered, feeling that there was something she had missed.

"Is it because the ritual to summon the immortals is about to begin?"

Qin Ye changed the subject, his hand unconsciously touching the jade pendant at his waist. He already had a basic understanding of what was about to happen.

"Halt!" The special passage was blocked by the Thousand Rock Army, and Qin Ye and his group were stopped as soon as they stepped in.

This whole process feels so familiar and welcoming...

Qin Ye couldn't help but nod to himself.

Please show your identification.

"The Fool's Enforcer [The Fool]".

The man took out the insignia from his pocket, only to see the soldiers of the Thousand Rock Army exchanging meaningful glances.

"We have confirmed that this is correct. We have no intention of offending you. We would like to ask Mr. Fool to come with us now."

Qin Ye showed no surprise at this, and gestured to take the initiative, saying, "You're too kind, please."

He then swaggered to the front.

"Uh...this?"

Qianyanjun looked at each other, and in the end, they followed the man closely as originally planned.

"By the way, since you're inviting me over, my sister and friends don't need to come along, right?"

Qin Ye turned his head slightly and asked politely, his tone very calm.

"Lady Ningguang has no requirements regarding this; your friend is free to move about Liyue Harbor, but..."

Seeing that the executive officer was so cooperative, Qianyan Jun naturally felt embarrassed to force him too much.

"What's going on? The atmosphere feels so tense." Paimon flew behind Ying and hid away, looking a little scared.

"We advise everyone not to move around unnecessarily. The situation is quite serious right now, and it would be better to be careful to avoid unnecessary panic."

Qianyan Jun offered his suggestion in a very tactful manner.

Tatiana had figured out the reason: "Okay, we will stay at home and not move around unnecessarily."

Although the Thousand Rock Army's iron discipline is exactly the same as before, and you could even say there's no change, the sense of panic and anxiety emanating from the streets and alleys of Liyue Harbor cannot be hidden.

Whether it's foreign invasion or economic crisis, Liyue always manages to unite and overcome difficulties, and the reasons for this are well known even to the people of the Seven Kingdoms.

There is only one possibility that could cause such widespread panic in Hong Kong: something has happened to the Rock King Emperor.

Tatiana pondered silently, then took Ying's hand, signaling her not to run off.

"..." Ying remembered what happened in Dadaupa Valley and behaved unusually well.

Qin Ye's calm demeanor indicates that he already knew about what was happening here before arriving in Liyue, so he will have to handle it on his own.

After all, Brother Qin Ye is still fighting against the Abyss. If the Rock King Emperor were dead, he would never be so relaxed and carefree.

As expected, everything was exactly as he had planned.
