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

"kundala!"

A group of Hilichurls rushed out of the mountain.

The stone pillar suddenly sprang up from the ground, knocking all the Hilichurls off the cliff.

As I expected, no enemy appeared at all.

"Brother Qin Ye, is that Gan Yu really in such a desolate... um, ethereal place?"

"Logically, that should be the case..."

According to Ningguang's intelligence, a secretary at the Hong Kong-based company Yue Haiting has not returned to work for nearly a week.

That hardworking model worker who can work 24 hours a day is taking such a long break is as absurd as Zhong Li working 24 hours a day.

"Sing..."

The girl behind him uttered a syllable.

"Huh? What are you singing? Me?"

Qin Ye pointed to himself.

After graduating from the orphanage, I basically stopped humming any tunes.

Tatiana, standing to the side, seemed equally excited, her gaze fixed intently on him.

"..."

Looking up around, I confirmed that there was no one else around.

There's nothing I can do; I just spoil my own people.

The question is, what should we sing?

The tunes from my past life don't seem quite right.

Qin Ye had a sudden inspiration, then his face flushed red.

"Ahem, just kidding. When the sun comes out, I bask in the sun; when the moon comes out, I bask in the moonlight..."

Surprisingly...it sounds good?

Tatiana blinked, looking somewhat surprised.

I don't think I overdid it, did I?

She secretly glanced at the girl beside her and noticed that the corners of the girl's mouth had involuntarily turned up.

Unexpectedly...

That makes sense. Since it's Brother Qin Ye, it's normal that he can do anything with ease, right?

"This song..."

On a distant cliff, a pair of high-heeled sandals tread lightly on the ground, their silk stockings stirring up dust, their graceful movements like those of a crane.

The toes, white as snow, protrude from the front, their nails painted a pale blue with flower juice.

Her clothes, as a whole, resembled an impressionistic ink painting.

The main color below her abdomen is black, with a light top and dark bottom combination that elongates her leg lines, making her legs look even more like a crane's long, slender legs.

As for the white clothing, there's no need to elaborate further.

In stark contrast to this fashionable attire was a face devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

"Why is it a man singing today?"

She had once heard wandering girls singing folk songs in the mountains, and thought that those...some strange songs could only be sung by a certain person.

She put aside her speculations and, in a few swift movements, landed in front of the three of them.

"Ahead lies a celestial abode. True Lords dislike noise. Retreat immediately, or don't blame me for being ruthless."

The young girl slowly took out her beloved lute, as if she was about to pluck it.

"calm."

Qin Ye waved his hand, signaling the other party not to act impulsively.

"okay."

She wasn't angry at the man's orders; instead, she silently stepped back and let things take their course.

"This must be Miss Shen He, the esteemed disciple of the True Lord Liuyun Borrowing the Wind, right?"

"Don't make me repeat myself."

The spirit floated behind Shen He, its imposing aura leaving no room for doubt.

"..."

No, this person won't listen to sweet talk and doesn't know any rhetoric...

Qin Ye sighed inwardly and changed his approach.

"The three of us are employees of Moonsea Pavilion in Liyue Harbor. Because Sister Ganyu has not returned for a long time, we have come to check on her situation on behalf of Tianquan Ningguang."

Shen He's brows gradually relaxed.

Sweet rain...?

Is he that person's subordinate?

"you sure?"

“It is absolutely true. If there is even the slightest falsehood, I am willing to accept the punishment of being eaten by the Rock King Emperor. How much more so for us mortals, how dare we casually approach the immortal’s cave? We usually bow down and kowtow just upon hearing his name.”

Qin Ye raised his hand in a gesture of swearing an oath, observing the subtle changes in the woman's expression before him.

Her gaze shifted between the three people, and the frost beneath her feet gradually spread.

But seeing the man's confident demeanor, she ultimately chose to believe him.

"The one the True Lord mentioned to you is currently exorcising evil spirits and cannot easily leave. He has some rare free time now, so please do not disturb him, otherwise..."

The talisman held between two fingers signifies a strong sense of threat.

"Of course, it is already difficult enough for an immortal to grant us an audience, how could we dare to ask for more?"

Qin Ye smiled brightly, cupped his hands in greeting, and silently followed behind Shen He with the two of them.

Although the other person's tone didn't seem insincere, for some reason, I felt a bit angry when I saw his smile.

No, I must remember the True Lord's teachings and suppress my killing intent. Such a mindset must be due to my lack of cultivation recently.

After crossing the floating bridge over Qingyun Peak, the group encountered no further obstacles and successfully arrived at Mount Aozang.

The surrounding environment is tranquil, like a paradise on earth.

The crystal-clear pool teems with swimming fish, while the sand and trees are exquisitely arranged, creating a natural painting.

"The True Lord Liuyun is resting in his mansion. It is already an exception to allow mortals to enter here. Please be aware of this."

"Then why are people drinking tea there?"

Tatiana blurted out her question.

Following the direction of her finger, a man held up a teacup, swirling it around as he looked at the tea inside. With a touch of nostalgia, he gazed at the yellow leaves falling from above.

A solitary stone table sits under a tree, clearly accommodating three people, yet only one person drinks alone.

"I wish to buy osmanthus blossoms and share wine with you..."

Shen He remained expressionless, showing no sign of embarrassment.

“My master said that if I saw him drinking on the stone bench in the immortal abode, I should not disturb him. I just did as he said.”

"Is that so..."

I remember he was Qin Ye's friend?

Qin Ye looked at the girl's worried face and his lips twitched.

My sister, wake up!

Chapter 51 It was all a dream.

Qin Ye hesitated for a moment, then finally decided not to go up and disturb Zhong Li.

Unexpectedly, the man beckoned to him, signaling him to come over.

"..."

When you reminisce about the past here, please don't include me in your thoughts.

After thinking about it for a while, I still stepped forward.

"Brother Qin, it's been a while. What brings you here to such a deserted place?"

You should be asking me that.

"To be honest, Brother Zhongli, I've come here to find someone for Tianquan Ningguang. His name is Gan Yu. Have you ever heard of him?"

Zhongli nodded silently.

"Yes, Brother Qin has indeed come to the right place, but it's still early. Why don't you sit down and have a drink with me?"

Qin Ye kept a watchful eye on things and walked around to the chair next to him. There was a wine pot on the table in front of the chair, and he carefully looked at the writing on it.

“Here I reside.”

Save your life... Next one.

Another chair with bowls and chopsticks in front of it has an inscription...

"Here I will sit and die."

How could I dare to sit here?

Zhongli seemed to have seen through someone's little scheme and waved her hand with a smile.

"Hehe, Brother Qin, don't mind. I still have some influence with True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng. It's not much, but it's enough."

"Lift your butt up so I can see it."
