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

However, now is not the time to make a final decision.

As the original executive, Piero still holds many cards in his hand.

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

After Song Yinjian and Daci Tree King left the city hall, they headed towards the Fireplace House’s residence in Winter Capital.

On the street, the cold wind was howling and pedestrians were hurrying past.

After half an hour's journey, they finally arrived at an exquisite and elegant apartment.

At the door, I met Alechino, whom I hadn't seen for a long time.

She was wearing a white slim-fitting dress, with her usual stern expression on her face, but a hint of joy in her eyes.

After a brief greeting, the three of them stepped into a reception room.

The reception room is simply and comfortably decorated, with soft sofas, exquisite coffee tables, and several warm paintings hanging on the wall, creating a homey atmosphere.

Linnet brought the coffee she had just brewed in time.

For a moment, the entire reception room was filled with the tempting aroma of coffee, which made people feel relaxed.

"Master Song, according to the intelligence from Hearth House, Piero is constantly gathering his men to gather in Winter Capital."

Alechino sat upright on a chair, looking at Song Yinjian opposite him, and said in a deep voice.

Song Yinjian picked up the coffee cup, took a sip, and the rich aroma of coffee spread in his mouth.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Apart from these, is there anything else?"

Alechino frowned slightly when she heard this, "What do you mean...?"

Song Yinjian calmly put down his coffee cup and said slowly, "It's obvious that Piero summoned his men just to cover up his tracks.

I have seen many interesting things in the materials left by Dottore."

Alechino suddenly thought of something and his expression gradually became cold.

Dotole's most successful research result is the application of demon residue.

This research requires a large number of human experiments, and the children of the Hearth House are one of the sources.

The fact that such cruel human experiments could continue was naturally inseparable from the support of the general officer Piero.

Thinking of this, she felt a surge of anger in her heart. "Heartland House will find out the relevant information as soon as possible."

Song Yinjian nodded and then talked about another matter, "How far has the Queen's plan progressed?"

A trace of helplessness appeared on Alechino's face. "Except for Piero and Columbia, no one else knows the specific details."

Song Yinjian had expected this and there was not much disappointment on his face.

He picked up his coffee, took another sip, and then said, "Right now, Hearth House's top priority is to investigate Piero's hidden cards. As for the Queen's plan, there's no need to investigate further."

"Okay." Alechino responded briefly.

The coffee Linnet brewed was very good. Song Yinjian drank it before getting up to say goodbye.

Before leaving, Alechino jokingly suggested that he could ask Linnet to make coffee for him.

Song Yinjian refused without even thinking.

He has paid off his debt of love and has no intention of getting involved with other girls.

What's more, the Great Compassionate Tree King is by his side.

Although she has a gentle personality, it doesn't mean she really doesn't mind.

When the two walked out of the apartment door, it was already dark and the whole winter was shrouded in silence.

They walked hand in hand, quietly feeling the warmth from each other's palms.

About half an hour later, the two arrived at the hotel entrance.

Under the bright light, Tartaglia was squatting on the ground, covered in dust and looking a little decadent.

"what happened?"

Song Yinjian stepped forward and asked, knowing the answer.

Tartaglia looked up at him and said dejectedly, "I lost to the Traveler, and I lost miserably. Even back in Liyue, we were evenly matched."

Hearing this, Song Yinjian smiled gently, "Tartaria, now you understand my good intentions!

Although you are a martial arts genius, you cannot become a great warrior without going through trials and tribulations."

Tartaglia slowly stood up from the ground and sighed softly, his voice filled with shame. "Master Song, I understand. Please train me hard in the future!"

At the end of his words, his expression became firm.

Song Yinjian patted his shoulder and said, "Good. Now go back and rest! After you've rested, I'll give you the hellish difficulty training."

"Master Song, thank you!" Tartaglia expressed sincere gratitude.

Then he limped back, but his steps were still firm.

Song Yinjian and the Great Ci Tree King each returned to their own rooms.

Soon, Ying couldn't wait to walk into Song Yinjian's room and hugged his waist from behind.

"Yinjian, today I gave that Class A war criminal Tartaglia a good lesson!" she said excitedly, her pair of white jade-like hands wandering around restlessly.

Song Yinjian slapped her hand unhappily and asked, "Are you resonating with the ice element now?"

Ying heard this, a hint of depression appeared on her pretty face, "It's the same as when we were in Nata, we can't resonate for the time being."

Chapter 345 The storm is coming

After hearing Ying's answer, Song Yinjian couldn't help but frown.

She only resonates with the six elements, and although she already possesses strength comparable to that of a high-level demon god, she is still far from the level of a mortal ruler.

This means that in this game with Piero, he still lacks a chess piece that can determine the victory.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but were rejected one by one.

Because what he wanted to do was not to go to war with Piero, but to control the Fatui and prevent Tianli and Dongdong from sliding into an uncontrollable abyss.

At this moment, a comfortable feeling suddenly came over him, bringing Song Yinjian back to his senses instantly.

"Ying,...don't, don't, stop..."

(More than 20,000 words omitted below...)

After a long time, Song Yinjian, who was lying on the bed, gently touched Ying's head and asked curiously, "Where did you learn those new moves you used just now?"

After hearing these words, her originally pretty face became even redder, as if blood could drip out.

With a shy look on her face, she softly replied, "Fiction about immortal master romances is very popular recently, and some people are following the trend and writing some rather bold novels."

Song Yinjian's mouth twitched slightly, and he secretly decided to control this type of novel to avoid the appearance of dark, banned and other themes.

Then, he changed the subject and asked, "By the way, have you seen your brother recently?"

Ying shook her head slightly. "I haven't seen him since we parted ways with Nata. However, I learned from one of his men that he should have gone to the Kanreya ruins."

Song Yinjian could roughly guess the reason why he went to Kanriya for no reason, and he couldn't help but feel a headache.

He rubbed his brows and asked, "Is there any way to contact him? I need him to come to Dongdu to assist me."

"Yes, but..." A hint of hesitation flashed across Ying's face, "It's just that he might not be willing to come."

"Is it because of Piero?" Song Yinjian guessed.

Ying nodded. "When Yilmin disliked him, he approached my brother and asked him to launch a coup immediately, but was rejected. Because of this, my brother felt guilty towards him."

Song Yinjian was speechless. "How can you blame your brother for this? Requesting a coup just because he's disliked—it looks like a personal vendetta!"

Ying said helplessly, "Yinjian, you know my brother well. He always likes to take the blame for mistakes that shouldn't be his fault."

Song Yinjian snorted and said, "Have the Abyss Cult inform your brother and tell him... that you are pregnant with my child. If you don't want your child to be fatherless at birth, come to Winter Capital immediately."

As soon as the words fell, Ying was stunned, "But, I didn't..."

“Just work hard now!”

"Woo...Woo..."

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

The next morning, Song Yinjian, who had worked "hard" all night, walked out of the room with a slightly tired body.

As usual, the Great Compassionate Tree King stood quietly at the door waiting for him, with a slightly raised corner of his mouth and a teasing smile on his face.

Song Yinjian walked up to her calmly, gently held her hand, and then the two of them walked out together.

About half an hour later, they arrived at a large puppet workshop.

Song Yinjian walked forward and knocked hard on the rusty iron door of the workshop.

After a long time, the iron gate slowly opened with a "creaking" and "creaking" sound.

The cute and lovely Sandoni sat on the palm of the tall mechanical puppet, a worry on her little face. She said, "Master Song, can you please not involve me in the conflict between you and Commander Piero? I just want to study the puppet in peace!"

Song Yinjian shrugged helplessly and said, "I don't want to bother you, but the problem is that Piero and I have to eliminate all uncertainties."

"I'm just an ordinary executive and won't have any impact on the situation at all." Sandoni said with a bitter face. She really didn't want to get involved in the fight between the two men.

However, Song Yinjian was not going to let her down. "Sandoni, you are the seventh Fatui executive officer. Your attitude cannot be ignored."

After hearing this, Sandoni realized that he couldn't escape today, so he simply asked, "What benefits can I get from standing on your side?"

Song Yinjian gestured to the Great Compassionate Tree King beside him, "Let me introduce you to this beautiful lady standing beside me. She is the first generation of the Grass God among the Seven Ruling Powers of the Earthly World. She is the omniscient and almighty God of Wisdom, who knows all knowledge and is the embodiment of wisdom. She is the Mahāsāṇa, the Great Auspicious Wisdom Lord, Buyar."

Under Sandoni's astonished gaze, he recited all the noble names of the Great Compassionate Tree King in one breath, smoothly and without pause.

Song Yinjian paused for a moment and continued, "If you have any questions about knowledge, you can ask her for advice. This is the benefit I can promise you."

Upon hearing this, Sandoni chose to join his camp without hesitation.

Then, she took the Great Ci Tree King to visit her own mechanical puppet workshop and asked the Great Ci Tree King for advice on some of the difficulties she encountered during the research process.

The Great Tree King was a very good teacher. When she answered Sandone's question, she did not directly tell her the answer, but gave her some inspiration and guided her to think for herself.

The content of their conversation was quite profound, beyond the scope of junior high and high school knowledge that Song Yinjian mastered.

So he just wandered around the puppet workshop.

The workshop was filled with all kinds of strangely shaped mechanical puppets. They had various shapes, some were tall and majestic, while others were small and exquisite.

This makes people wonder, what is the purpose of these mechanical puppets?

So, before leaving, he specifically raised this issue.

Sandoni hesitated for a long time before stammering, "They... they are not waste, it's just... it's just that their use has not been discovered yet!"

Chapter 346 Confrontation

Since visiting Sandoni that day, Song Yinjian has never gone out and stayed in the hotel all day.

However, the situation in the Kingdom of Winter did not ease as a result.

As the investigation into Hearth House deepens, the tension grows.

Piero publicly expressed his strong dissatisfaction to Arlecchino and demanded that she immediately stop the exploration.

But Arlecchino firmly rejected Piero's request on the grounds of investigating missing children.

The conflict between the two sides is becoming increasingly intense, like a constantly tightened bowstring that can explode at any time.

At this time, the Mond expedition returned from the northern border and set up camp less than ten miles outside the winter capital to rest.

Their arrival brought new changes to the situation in Dongdong.

On that day, Song Yinjian, who had been staying in the hotel, went out of the city and made a special trip to visit Captain Farga.

Several witnesses said that the two had a very pleasant conversation and most likely reached some kind of cooperation agreement.

This news gave Piero a strong sense of crisis.

He suddenly realized that Song Yinjian controlled most of the power in the mortal world and could easily mobilize forces from all sides.

If he allowed him to gather more power into Winter Solstice, he would probably lose even his last chance of resistance.
