Genshin Impact: The traitor doesn't even let his senior sister go

After hearing the voice, Song Yinjian turned around and found that it was Kaia, the cavalry captain of the Knights of Favonius.

"It's Captain Kaia. I'd like to take back my inappropriate remarks just now," he said gracefully.

Kaiya waved his hand and said, "Master Song, you are actually not wrong. There are indeed many such losers in the Knights of Favonius."

There was a hint of helplessness and self-mockery in his tone, and he seemed quite dissatisfied with the current situation of the Knights.

Kaiya's expression then grew serious. He bowed solemnly to Song Yinjian and said sincerely, "Thank you for helping me avenge my adoptive father. I will always remember this kindness."

After a little thought, Song Yinjian figured out the whole story.

Kaia's adopted father, Cripps, died many years ago due to the conspiracy of Dr. Dottore.

Last year, he successfully eliminated Dotore in Xumi and helped Kaia avenge his father's murder.

Song Yinjian raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a gentle smile, "No need to be so polite. Dotolei has committed many evil deeds and deserves death."

Kaiya remained resolute, "Master Song, as long as you have any instructions, I will spare no effort to complete them."

"I'd like to trouble you to take us to the Knights of Favonius." Song Yinjian said.

Kaiya agreed very straightforwardly, "Okay, Master Song, please follow me."

Afterwards, he led the way, leading Song Yinjian and the Knights of Favonius of the Dacishu Dynasty.

Compared to the bustling and fast-paced Liyue Harbor, Mondstadt is filled with a sense of freedom and leisure, a peaceful and tranquil time.

Along the way, Kaia felt a little headache.

Because Song Yinjian kept asking him about the information about the expedition team, from the specific configuration of the number of personnel, to the specific strength of the team leader Farga, to the details of the backup supplies, etc.

This information is confidential to the Knights of Favonius and must not be disclosed to the outside world.

But the Song Yinjian in front of him was not only his benefactor, but also the holder of most of the world's power.

So Kaia had no choice but to tell the truth.

After learning this information, Song Yinjian had a general understanding of the strength of the expedition team.

Although the strength of this expedition group is not very strong, it is enough to act as an important force that can influence the situation at a critical moment.

A moment later, they arrived at the Knights of Favonius and met the acting leader Jean in a simple office.

Compared to the last time we met, she looked noticeably more tired.

The expedition has now become a heavy burden on the entire Mondstadt.

The long and difficult supply line was like a bottomless pit, constantly consuming a large amount of manpower and material resources.

However, Qin had to grit her teeth and persevere.

If anything goes wrong with the expedition, Mond will lose the future of an entire generation.

"Master Song, long time no see. What is the matter with your visit today?"

Qin quickly stood up from her seat, walked to Song Yinjian, and asked respectfully.

Song Yinjian said calmly, "Captain Qin, you should know that the war between Zhidong and Tianli is about to begin.

This war is likely to trigger a disaster that will surpass the disaster of Kanria."

After the words fell, Qin's face turned a little ugly.

She knew that with Mond's current strength, it was impossible to resist such a terrible disaster.

But if the expedition team were to return at this time, it would mean that all the efforts made before for the expedition would be wasted.

Chapter 341 Heading to Winter

Inside the Morning Tavern, the lights were dim.

In a quiet corner, Song Yinjian and the Great Ci Tree King sat side by side.

Opposite them, Wendy was holding a large glass of beer in both hands, tilting her head back and gulping down the beer.

"Burp~, that feels so good!"

He let out a long burp, a look of satisfaction on his face.

Then, Wendy put down her wine glass, looked at Song Yinjian, and said enthusiastically, "Master Song, thank you for your generosity!"

Song Yinjian waved his hand. "You're welcome. By the way, what do you think of the war between Zhidong and Tianli?"

Wendy refilled her glass and said nonchalantly, “Of course, I’ll sit on the statue, drink, and watch.

Anyway, with you as my immortal master here, there is nothing to worry about!"

Upon hearing this, Song Yinjian said speechlessly, "Barbatos, can you please do something serious?"

"Alright!" Wendy put away her cynical expression, her eyes gradually deepening. "During the Kanrea catastrophe, the Ice Queen glimpsed the cruel truth of the world, and so she decided to go to war with all her might, just to save the world."

"It sounds like another piece of music about self-sacrifice," Song Yinjian commented calmly.

Wendy sighed softly upon hearing this, "This outcome was destined from the moment she decided to embark on this path."

As he said this, he drank the wine in the glass again.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Master Song, are you interested in holding a farewell ceremony in Mondstadt? I'd also like to have a grand living burial for myself, just like the old man did."

Song Yinjian was too lazy to pay attention to this guy. He picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip.

Seeing that Song Yinjian had no reaction to her proposal, Wendy grumbled in dissatisfaction.

Then, his gaze fell on the Great Compassion Tree King and he said, "Buyer, you and Immortal Master Song are also together! To celebrate your sincere love, I have decided to sing a song for you."

Without waiting for the Great Compassionate Tree King to respond, Wendy had already taken out an organ and plucked it lightly with her fingertips. The melodious sound flowed slowly in the space, gradually calming people's minds.

Immediately afterwards, his beautiful singing voice rang out, interweaving with the sound of the piano to form a moving melody.

I have to say that although Wendy doesn't do serious work, he is indeed a very outstanding bard.

Song Yinjian and the Great Ci Tree King were also involuntarily immersed in it.

Soon after, the song ended.

The Great Tree King praised sincerely, "Barbatos, very good."

Song Yinjian nodded in agreement, "I'll definitely invite you to perform at the next God Sending Ceremony."

"Hey~" Wendy smiled brightly upon hearing their praise.

Afterwards, they had a few more drinks together and parted ways.

After leaving the tavern, Song Yinjian and the Great Ci Tree King returned to the ship docked at the port.

Not long after, the ship sailed out of the harbor and headed towards the winter at full speed.

..........................................................

After sailing for a day and a night, the ship finally docked at a port in Dongdu.

The sky was a little gloomy at this time, and the biting cold wind mixed with the moisture from the sea was like countless ice knives, scraping across people's faces.

Song Yinjian took out a warm mink coat from his Qiankun bag, draped it over the Great Compassion Tree King, and then walked off the ship with her.

The Great Compassionate Tree King felt the warmth coming from his palms, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a happy smile.

Soon, they officially entered the winter capital.

Dongdu is a modern industrial city, and its level of development is even greater than that of the prosperous Fontaine.

But unlike Fontaine, the architectural style here tends to be classicism.

White and red are the main colors of the city, and the buildings are solemn and dignified.

But the monotonous colors lack the vitality of life, and the whole city seems to be shrouded in a dull atmosphere.

Most of the pedestrians on the street were silent, with their heads down and walking hurriedly.

After walking for a while, Song Yinjian sensed that someone was secretly watching them.

What’s interesting is that there weren’t just one wave of people spying on them, but three waves.

It seems that the Ice Queen's supreme ideals are not in everyone's interest.

After walking for a while, a young member of the Fatui came forward and told Song Yinjian that Piero wanted to see them and asked them to follow him.

Song Yinjian frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy.

Although Piero was the commander-in-chief of the Fatui, asking him to take the initiative to meet him was obviously a neglect.

After a brief silence, Song Yinjian calmly agreed to Piero's appointment.

Then, he and the Great Compassionate Tree King followed behind the member of the Fatui.

After half an hour's journey, they arrived in front of a stately office building.

After entering the building, they were arranged to wait in a waiting room.

The furnishings in the waiting room were simple and monotonous, with only a few hard chairs and an old table.

After more than an hour of boredom, someone finally came to take them to see Piero.

In a cold and somewhat dim office, a middle-aged man with a stern expression stood quietly in front of a desk.

The left half of his face was covered by a black mask, and his whole body exuded a majestic aura without even being angry.

Piero didn't apologize for his negligence. Instead, he got straight to the point and said bluntly, "Song Yinjian, I don't want your actions to affect Zhidong's plans."

Upon hearing this, Song Yinjian maintained his calm and composed demeanor and said, "Mr. Clown, simply moving forward with your head down won't necessarily lead to victory."

"There are always those who think they are smart, like the sages of yesteryear." Piero's eyes revealed a hint of disdain, "But only we can realize the supreme ideal."

Song Yinjian shrugged, a nonchalant expression on his face. "Well, I'm looking forward to your wonderful performance."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took the hand of the Great Compassionate Tree King and turned to leave.

Piero looked at Song Yinjian's back, his eyes gradually becoming cold.

Chapter 342 Meeting Yingmei Again

When we walked out of the Fatui office building, the sky was still a little gloomy, with sporadic snowflakes slowly falling from the sky from time to time.

"Yinjian, this clown seems to have something against you." The Great Ci Tree King teased in a relaxed tone.

Song Yinjian showed a helpless expression on his face, "Five hundred years ago, the then King of Kanreya, Irmin, chose the latter between him and the sage, causing Kanreya to be submerged in the abyss.

Now, the situation is similar, and the Ice Queen can choose between him and me."

Only then did the Great Ci Tree King understand why Piero treated Song Yinjian so badly.

She analyzed seriously, "Pierro is the commander-in-chief of the Fatui. He has a very strong control over them. I'm afraid the Ice Queen will ultimately favor him."

Song Yinjian smiled faintly upon hearing this, "Piero is a very powerful person, but he is inferior to me in one respect."

The Great Compassionate Tree King asked curiously, "What is it?"

Song Yinjian did not answer, but pointed to his cheek, the meaning of which was obvious.

A faint blush quietly appeared on the face of the Great Compassionate Tree King.

Although she was shy, she stood on tiptoe and kissed him gently on the face.

Song Yinjian looked satisfied, and then gave the answer, "Controlling people's hearts."

"Control of people's hearts?" The Great Compassion Tree King was still somewhat puzzled, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Song Yinjian nodded slightly and spoke slowly, "The Fatui is a massive organization whose purpose is to realize the noble ideals of the Ice Queen.

However, in this organization, the vast majority of members have their own selfish motives.

And I happen to be good at taking advantage of these selfish desires.”

After hearing this, the Great Compassion Tree King immediately understood his intention and could not help but sigh: "Sword chanting, in this aspect, even I am far inferior to you."

As they were talking, they passed by the door of a restaurant.

"Sword chanting!" A surprised and familiar voice came from inside.

Song Yinjian immediately turned his head and saw Ying, whom he had not seen for a long time, running towards him.

The next second, she threw herself into his arms, wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, and wrapped her legs around his waist, like a koala hanging on a tree.

"Yinjian, I miss you so much!" Ying whispered softly in Song Yinjian's ear.
