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

Their smiles gradually turned cold.

"Although I would very much like to lend you a hand, I am truly unable to do so due to numerous family matters. Please forgive me for being unable to help."

"Hmph, farewell."

"I hope Brother Qin will take care of himself."

Qin Ye didn't say anything more and turned to leave.

His plan was to stage a fake incident with the magistrate, so that Ayato Kamisato would send people to hunt him down, giving him a legitimate reason to go to Umijima.

But this old guy doesn't seem to be planning to help now.

That's true. His current practice is like walking a tightrope. This kind of performance is too uncertain and could very well expose his cover-up of Arataki Kazuto and the shady dealings he's been doing behind the scenes.

Because in this play, Qin Ye is just a guest minister of the Society. To temporarily fool Coral Palace's Heart Sea, he has to play a big game. And if he plays a big game, the other ministers will inevitably notice.

If this back and forth goes on and on, and if it really gets traced back to the magistrate... then Ayato Kamisato won't be in a good position either.

Most importantly... he only got his company to cooperate with me because I tricked him, and he hasn't given up on the idea of ​​trying to take advantage of me.

Because once I run off to Haiqi Island, he'll really have no chance. After that, whatever happens, he'll have to respond to Qin Ye and Yae no Shinji. Otherwise, if Coral Palace and the Heavenly Territory Envoy really start fighting, none of you will have a moment of peace.

It's human nature to seek advantage and avoid harm, and to be precise, this isn't even a big deal. But he's unwilling to cooperate because he wants to make one last desperate attempt to clear himself of any wrongdoing.

If Qin Ye cannot get his help, he will have to spend some time revising his plan.

Of course, he could also reveal his identity to the Heavenly Commander and make the charade seem real. But that would be tantamount to being in the open, leaving him with no way to express his bitterness.

Qin Ye narrowed his eyes and a smile appeared on his lips.

Unfortunately... I have to give you a push first.

Just wait, you'll be able to make up your mind soon.

Chapter 83 You have such a cruel heart!

Society magistrate

Ayato Kamisato sat silently at his desk, handling his affairs, but his writing was very slow.

His mind was racing, constantly considering the moves Qin Ye might make.

It was clear that the man had many other things troubling him besides Inazuma, so even though the arrangements in Inazuma were perfect, he was moving at an increasingly faster pace.

"hehe."

The man suddenly burst out laughing.

That makes sense. No one, including himself, wants something under their control to change direction or go wrong because of the cruel concept of time.

Just like this time, Qin Ye, you went to the Coral Palace, which can be considered a great success, but the plans here are all in my Shenli family.

As for Yae no Kami...

Leaving aside whether she will make a move at a crucial moment, just guarding against her 'ingenious ideas' will take a lot of effort.

The most terrifying characteristic of both she and Qin Ye is their powerful insight and control over strangers.

I can't compare to them.

Therefore, I must eliminate all possible accidents, even though I am extremely loyal to the General.

However, the preservation of a family name is an equally important matter.

In this grand scheme of things, I must not only ensure that the Kamisato family maintains its current status, but also further enhance its presence, making it the General's most trusted weapon.

As for how Qin Ye would make his move...

Ayato took out the milk tea from his sleeve and silently took a sip.

They probably started by targeting Ayaka, right?

But I have already warned her not to go to Daoqi City with Qin Ye, not to meet any other officials, and not to do anything they arrange for her to do.

Even if you think Qin Ye's words make a lot of sense, you should suppress your impulse and come back to tell me.

As for whether the other party would break off relations, Ayato was certain that they wouldn't.

The situation among them is currently in a state of equilibrium, which is also the most likely time to resolve the Inazuma issue, and no one will take the initiative to disrupt it.

Simply put, the current situation is that whoever puts in the least effort ends up getting the most benefits; it's a matter of skill and face.

"Master, something terrible has happened!"

Thomas rushed in from outside, looking somewhat anxious.

"What's wrong, Thomas?"

"Miss, she...Miss, she..."

"You went out for a trip with Qin Ye?"

Seeing the confident smile on Ayato's face, Thomas scratched his head, looking puzzled: "Huh? So the head of the family already knew? I was worried for nothing."

"Yes, I can basically guess what he's going to do with Ayaka."

Thomas breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good, that's good. It seems that the three of them going out together won't be a problem."

Ayato paused, raising an eyebrow slightly: "Three people?"

"correct."

"Did you bring the maid, or the little girl?"

"..."

Did the head of the family not foresee this?

As a competent domestic worker and subordinate, Thomas knew exactly how to take responsibility at this moment.

"Master, Qin Ye said he wanted to take Miss to Narukami Shrine to pray for blessings. I saw that Miss didn't seem to object, so..."

Ayato Kamisato ignored his polite words, got up from his desk, and strode out.

You actually took Yae Miyaji and my younger sister out with you, Qin Ye, how cruel you are!

Naruto Shrine

Ayaka looked at the 'Great Fortune' written on the fortune slip in her hand, and her mood clearly improved, which was reflected in her expression.

She pointed to the lottery box and extended an invitation to the man beside her.

"Mr. Qin Ye, why don't you come and draw a fortune stick too?"

"Forehead..."

Looking at the stern-faced priestess before him, Qin Ye lost interest in drawing lots.

I remember that Lyudashka seems to have Inazuma blood? And she also seems to really like helping others.

If diplomatic relations could be re-established after the Inazuma incident...

The sly fox should try to get that kid a minor official position; it's better than this expressionless guy in front of him.

Suddenly, a crunching sound came.

"Oh dear, little brother Qin Ye, you're not even afraid to draw lots? Are you afraid of having bad luck and drawing an extremely unlucky lot, which would be embarrassing?"

Yae no Miko emerged from the shrine and spotted the man hesitating in front of the fortune-telling box. With a mischievous grin, she approached him.

"How could I be afraid of something like that... It's just that I wouldn't believe anything that's extracted."

After all, drawing a very unlucky number equals great misfortune.

Da Ji = Da Ji.

No matter what the lottery result is, it won't affect my guaranteed minimum bet.

"These divine divination slips are all about sincerity. If you have this attitude, then the Divine Child Sister will have to teach you a lesson."

"..."

Qin Ye knew what tricks the other party was up to again, so he reached out and picked up the divination tube, shook it casually, and drew out a divine divination stick.

"Since the high priestess of Narukami Shrine is here, given our relationship, shouldn't you interpret my fortune for free? Our brief exchange last time was truly unforgettable."

I'd like to see how you plan to mess with me. You won't admit your weakness until I've ridden on top of you and bullied you again and again.

Yae no Miko chuckled, clutching her lower abdomen. She was somewhat indignant at the other party's disdain for her.

"Oh dear, since it was Qin Ye who asked you to do this, then I will definitely use my divine power to calculate it for you personally, so that you can know how powerful I am."

Do you think I'd fall for your tricks twice? I'll show you what the difference in experience really means.

She gestured inscrutably on the stick, her fingers moving deftly.

Soon, she had the slip of paper in her hand.

"Oh dear, sister, look! This is a terrible omen! This is a really bad sign. Brother, why don't you stay at the shrine and let your sister have some fun with you... to exorcise the evil spirits?"

"Since the Divine Child sister has so kindly invited me, how could I refuse? However, there is one thing I don't understand."

Qin Ye completely ignored the other party's provocative words, which were deliberately misspoken, and got back to the main topic.

"Go ahead and ask."

"Last time, the night was too short, and I was unable to have a long talk with you. It's a pity that we missed the most anticipated climax."

The divine child gently waved his hand in front of him.

"Oh dear, Brother Qin Ye, you have quite the refined taste. I missed a promise back then, and now you're turning your back on me, stammering like a man. Just do it, no matter what happens, your big sister will always be there to back you up."

The man nodded in sudden realization.

"Since you've said that, I think I don't need to hold back my strength."

The goddess raised the corners of her mouth: "This is truly something to look forward to. I will cooperate fully with you, sister."

Ayaka's initial excitement at drawing the lucky number was instantly replaced by other emotions.

All-night talks? Manipulation? Control? Cooperation?
