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

“I told Piero I wanted to see you, and he agreed to let me come.”

"Haha, welcome!"

Qin Ye's laughter was devoid of any emotion.

The girl came to his side shortly after he became executive officer, but she basically did nothing.

However, in his view, as long as the third seat is always tied to his own side, even if all he does all day is eat and sleep, that would be considered as keeping up the good work.

It has value no matter what.

In reality, the two didn't have much real interaction. After a long day of work, they were both exhausted and had little to no energy left. Listening to each other sing was one of their few hobbies.

He asked many questions that turned out to be riddles, so he ended up being known as a riddle singer who just mooched off his own family.

So the fact that the young girl took the initiative to suggest to the clown that she come to see him made him somewhat suspicious.

"Are you going to Inazuma next?"

"Did the old man tell you that?"

"Ah."

It seems they really came to lend me a helping hand.

"You may have to wait and stay in Liyue for a few days. Acting immediately will easily alert us. This place is not like Zhidong. The house we bought temporarily is a bit rough, and you may have to make do for a while."

"I do not mind."

The girl's voice was soft and sweet, making her seem unlike the third seat of the Fatui clan, no matter where you put it.

Even if he tells people, they might not believe him; instead, they might think he's a fool lying.

Qin Ye suddenly felt that his future was bleak.

The situation in Inazuma is probably in complete chaos right now. The resistance is probably not fully formed yet. The Fools still have eleven seats, six seats, and soon the twelfth and third seats will be taken away...

If it weren't for the mole, why would we have wasted so many people?

Well, we can only take it one step at a time...

The most urgent task is to properly entertain this young lady.

"Do you need anything to eat...?"

The conversation was suddenly interrupted.

"Oh dear, let me see, what important guest is Lord Fool receiving?"

The woman walked gracefully in from outside the door.

"...Lord Tianquan doesn't even knock before entering other people's homes?"

Just how many "old sixes" did this little conversation attract?

Chapter 48 Where is the Coconut Sheep?

"You jest, sir. I'm just visiting as a friend. Why all the formalities?"

Ningguang casually sat down opposite Qin Ye.

"Ah, right, right."

Someone quickly nodded in agreement.

I was wondering why you, Tianquan Ningguang, could sit so calmly. With that speed, you must have been watching me from outside the Northern Bank, following me all the way home, right?

I was originally planning to let Keqing fool you, but now I'll personally add fuel to the fire.

"I wonder who this important person is?"

Ningguang immediately noticed the girl who seemed to be dozing off, and tried to think of information about her, but couldn't get any useful information.

The ranking of the Fools' executives seems to reveal a lot. Although there are exceptions, the higher the ranking, the less information is available, while those ranked lower tend to be more active.

Take this person in front of me, for example...

Her eyes secretly glanced at Qin Ye.

"She's my little sister from the orphanage."

"Oh?"

Ningguang raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

She really is a master of deception, lying without batting an eye. If it weren't for the girl's unwavering and undaunted demeanor, it would have been easy to fool someone with her calm and collected tone.

"I know you don't believe me, but I advise you to take it seriously. Otherwise, even if Morax comes to your rescue, it might be too late."

Is that so?

Ningguang didn't reply or talk much, carefully considering her words.

What's certain is that she's an executive officer, but her ranking is hard to say, and as the man in front of her said...

That sense of danger made it difficult for her to relax.

We shouldn't judge a book by its cover, or we'll run into problems. It's best not to pry too deeply for now.

"Qin Ye, you'll be going to Inazuma soon, right?"

"Yes, I'm planning to. We've been vacationing in Liyue long enough."

Seeing that the other party had changed the subject, Qin Ye understood that he had managed to get away with it.

A trump card should always be kept mysterious.

Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, Ningguang suddenly leaned forward, her tone teasing but her gaze unusually deep, and beckoned him with her finger, gesturing for him to come closer.

Tatiana's lips twitched, and she tried hard to suppress her little movements.

The girl, who was lying on the table, lazily looked up and checked something.

"Um..."

With a barely perceptible long "hmm," he slumped back onto the table.

Qin Ye didn't seem to mind. He rested one arm on the table, leaned forward, and slowly approached.

"If I'm not mistaken, you're not planning to take the Fools' ship to Inazuma, are you?"

Ningguang spoke calmly, as if she had everything under control.

"Haha, Lord Tianquan is indeed wise."

"So you plan to wait a few days and leave quietly after the recent turmoil has passed."

"As you said, Ningguang, you understand my thoughts perfectly."

Looking at the wicked smiles on their faces, Tatiana felt as if she were seeing two foxes making a deal.

As expected, foxes cannot develop human-like feelings... I was overthinking it.

Pshaw, how could Brother Qin Ye be a fox?

They should be ordinary people and a woman in a fox's skin.

"I happen to need someone to go to Qingyun Peak to find me someone. It's a place inhabited by immortals, and sparsely populated..."

"Perfect for concealing one's figure."

Qin Ye picked up where he left off.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

The woman quickly moved backward, sitting up straight.

"But I hope you can give me a straight answer, whether from a business perspective or a friend's perspective."

"You said."

Ningguang dropped her teasing tone, her voice becoming serious, carrying an unquestionable air of authority.

"I want to know, what exactly is your attitude towards Liyue?"

Although I don't want to make enemies of such a person, if he shows even the slightest hostility, I will spare no expense to completely crush him.

Even if the result is utter destruction and mutual annihilation.

As a businesswoman, it is in her nature to seek profit and avoid harm, but before that, she was one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, someone who was meant to protect the country and its people.

Only this point remains unchanged, no matter how the world changes.

Tatiana, who was standing to the side, was seeing such power from the woman in front of her for the first time, and she went into an attack stance.

A clear and melodious song rang out, easing the tense atmosphere.

"Tatiana, what are you doing?"

Qin Ye remained unfazed, raised his hand to stop him, and instead smiled even more brightly.

"Lord Tianquan, I don't think you should ask me this question."

"Ok?"

"I am acquainted with Lord Rock. If I really had any ill intentions towards Liyue, he would crush me with a single slap."

Ningguang frowned. It wasn't that she didn't completely believe such a thing, but in her surveillance, there really wasn't anyone who had interacted with Qin Ye who resembled the Prince Yan she had imagined.

Or was it that Lord Yan specially sent him a divine message, communicating with him in his dreams every night?

"In short, I have a very good impression of Liyue, and the Fatui's goal is not to destroy any country. What attitude they hold towards you in private is basically none of my business."

I love Liyue. If other Enforcers are detrimental to this kingdom, then you can fight your battles; I won't interfere...

Ningguang nodded to herself, mentally translating the other person's words.

Although this wasn't the most satisfactory answer for her, it was enough.

She stood up with a smile on her face.

"Then I'll take my leave for today. The person I need your help to find is named Gan Yu. I will send someone to deliver the portrait later."

Coconut sheep?

Despite having met Qixing so many times, I have indeed never met this secretary.
