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

In order to prevent the other party from going too far, she had no choice but to force a smile.

"Look at what you're saying, I understand everything. Why would you lower yourself to my level, someone who works for the General Affairs Department?"

Qin Ye's smile instantly blossomed: "Of course... not necessarily."

"..."

"Oh dear, Lady Yelan has been here for so long, why hasn't anyone brought her a chair or anything? She can't stand all the time, please sit down."

The fools around him obeyed the order and quickly took their seats, but Yelan was still standing there in a daze.

"?"

She was already somewhat dissatisfied, but she didn't expect someone to react even faster than her.

Qin Ye pointed to a circle of his subordinates.

"Why wasn't a seat reserved for Lady Yelan? Please, sit here."

He stood up, reached out and pulled Ye Lan to his side without any room for argument, pressing her down on the sofa, while he himself sat on the table, looking down at her.

At this moment, Yelan was flanked by the tall Nikolai on her left and Tatiana on her right, both of whom exuded an imposing presence due to their status and height.

However, seeing this scene triggered a sense of crisis in Ye Lan's mind, which also made her feel excited.

At the same time, her mood calmed down.

"I wonder what your request is, sir? Please state it here."

"Hey..."

What kind of spell did I cast on me? First, I apologized to that girl in person... Although she apologized to me, it was clearly not sincere.

Afterwards, they reimbursed his expenses and maintenance costs at Wangshu Inn, and covered his and that person named Zhongli's expenses at the teahouse for a year free of charge.

Most importantly...

He threatened to give him a private channel so he could use it to entertain VIPs at the Northern Bank.

Although I know that even if I don't agree, the other person can still meet with me as if nothing happened, since this person has really behaved himself since coming to Liyue.

It's like setting up an empty city tactic. I'm telling you this on my own initiative, are you going to come and investigate me or not? Are you going to fall for it?

Based on her personal experience, there must be a big problem here.

We'll have to discuss this with Ningguang then...

Ye Lan slapped her forehead.

Oh, and I also gambled away my bracelet!

She knew from the beginning that I couldn't outwit the Fool!

"..."

Forget it, let's go back to the Yanshang Tea House and calm down before we talk about it.

---

On the other hand, after spending a pleasant time with his younger siblings, Qin Ye finally had to say goodbye.

"Let me remind you again, about that place, the Layered Rock Abyss..."

"elder brother."

Katarina put away her playful thoughts and looked at him with a firm gaze.

Qin Ye knew what the other person was thinking and sighed.

"No matter what happens, your own safety must be your top priority. I trained you not so that you would go and die."

Everyone watched Qin Ye silently and gave him a nearly one-minute Winter Solstice salute.

"Katarina, remember not to be too impulsive. You are the most opinionated kid in the whole team, and everyone has to rely on your judgment."

"Brother, I understand."

"Nikolai, have more confidence in your abilities. You possess unparalleled talent, but you are always timid and hesitant. Be sure to protect your brothers and sisters in critical moments."

Thank you for your encouragement!

The young man looked quite excited.

Qin Ye hugged and gave instructions to each of the children in front of him, and then watched them embark on their mission.

Is this what it feels like to watch your child grow up...?

He shook his head with a wry smile.

Tatiana gently hugged the man from behind, signaling him to calm down.

He reached out and patted the girl's head in response.

"Then, I'll go deliver the letter first. Please rest at home for a while."

The force that had been wrapped around her waist disappeared.

"I also have some things to do, so you probably don't need to wait for me for dinner."

Do you need me to come along?

"It's alright. Just go out and look for acquaintances. There won't be any problems."

Reassuring the other party not to worry, Qin Ye left the mansion alone.

He looked up at the rooftops in the distance, and a wisp of wind element quickly dissipated.

Who is this person who couldn't stand the loneliness after not seeing them for a few days?

Following the constantly flickering trail, Qin Ye continued forward, passing by Bubu Lu, and arrived at the foot of Tianheng Mountain.

All around were ruins and rubble.

Legend has it that during a war, Mount Tianheng collapsed, and the legendary Yixiao Daotian Zhenjun instructed his friend to cut off his own horns to protect all the people in the village at the foot of the mountain.

So the person who brought me here is too shy to show their face?

Qin Ye looked around, his eyes finally meeting those of the Pseudoflower in the ruins.

The monster shrank into the ground.

"..."

Rock elements condensed in the air, and giant stone slabs gradually formed, continuing to thicken.

After waiting for a while, a blue and white creature emerged in front of me and began to wriggle its waist.

The stone slab slammed hard onto the ground, the strong vibrations causing dust to scatter from the ruins.

I haven't seen this thing in ages. Does it like to chase? Does it like to run?

"boring."

Xiao appeared behind Qin Ye, silently leaning against the wall with his arms crossed and his eyes closed.

Qin Ye immediately changed his expression.

"What, has the immortal come to pay me back for the almond tofu?"

The other person's eyes snapped open.

"Hmph... If you care, I'll settle the bill with you right now."

Qin Ye immediately shrugged, his smile growing even brighter.

"Oh, we're all family here, I just said it casually, I didn't expect you to remember such a small thing, Xiao."

Hearing the other person's teasing, Xiao realized that she had fallen for a trap again; this man was just trying to strike up a conversation with her.

"All you do is talk the talk..."

"There's really no need to worry about this. It's just a small amount of money for me. Besides, I usually pay for Zhongli's meals; he doesn't pay a single penny."

"You!" His tone suddenly became agitated.

But after thinking about it carefully, I realized that Lord Zhongli could create hundreds of millions of Mora with a wave of his hand. Using Qin Ye to get money was probably just a test. I couldn't understand this kind of thinking and trial, so I suppressed my impulse.

After racking his brains but still not knowing how to reply, he finally sighed.

"Disrespectful to the immortal master."

Not bad, it seems the last attempt to make friends was quite successful; at least they still recognize me as a person.

Qin Ye nodded to himself, quite satisfied.

"So, what is it that you made the special trip to Liyue Harbor to talk to me about, even though you were so tired?"

"Ah."

Xiao's mouth opened and closed, then it realized something.

"Before that, don't get me wrong, for me, it's just a blink of an eye from Wangshu to Liyue Harbor."

"I understand, I understand."

Qin Ye quickly nodded with a smile.

"Humph..."

Xiao let out a long breath.

“There are unusual fluctuations in the west of Liyue. It seems that some enormous creature has appeared. I cannot handle it on my own, so... I would like to ask for your help.”

"..."

It must have been exhausting for you, Xiao-kun, to mechanically recite these inappropriate words like you were reading a line.

If you can't handle something, it probably can only be solved by the Three-Eyed Five-Manifestation Real Person and Gan Yu together, right?

What's with calling me along? Who taught you this illogical explanation...?

Oh, I see.

Qin Ye raised an eyebrow: "Did Zhong Li tell you to say that?"

Xiao closed his eyes again and said nothing more.
