Genshin Impact: I wrote the plot into a novel to spoil the future

So, what does the name Wang Xiaomei have to do with me?

However, now is not the time to dwell on this. Keqing stated her purpose.

"Mr. Lin Qiu, could you please tell us anything you know about the Emperor?"

“The reward will be no less than what I swear in the name of the Seven Stars!” Ke Qing said.

"Well... it's hard to say for now." Lin Qiu said, "I've already exposed Lao Deng's secret identity. If I were to disrupt his plans again, that would be too unfriendly of me."

We should at least wait until after the invocation ceremony is over.

"However, I can reveal one thing."

Lin Qiu pointed at Gan Yu and said.

"After this is all over, Wang Xiaomei will probably find out the truth before my book does."

"Mr. Lin Qiu, my name is Gan Yu." Gan Yu said gently.

"Oh, right, Wang Xiaoyu."

"...Humans...are indeed somewhat difficult to understand..."

Navia listened to the conversation without saying a word. As a Fontaineian, it was best for her not to get involved in such internal affairs of Liyue.

Walnut, on the other hand, was eager to try.

Knowing this information is not enough for Keqing.

The Lord Yan, whom she revered, was about to die! Not knowing the truth made her extremely uneasy.

But "Seven Stars" cannot wallow in sorrow. No matter how heartbroken Keqing is, she must pull herself together.

As one of the "Seven Stars," as one of the "Yuheng," and as a human being, she must give Liyue Harbor a future.

"Mr. Lin Qiu, is it really impossible to reveal this?" Ke Qing still wouldn't give up.

“Oh dear, look, even my little Qiuqiu says he can’t talk about it anymore. He probably has his reasons.”

"I am also very saddened by the death of the Emperor, but my guest master did a very good job in the ceremony of sending off the immortals."

"I suppose he wouldn't have any regrets in the afterlife," Hu Tao said.

Hu Tao knew that Lin Qiu's attitude stemmed from some unspeakable difficulty, so she took the initiative to help Lin Qiu out of the predicament.

"Oh! By the way, my guest retainer is Zhongli, why don't you go ask him?"

"He's a man who knows everything from astronomy to geography, he probably knows more than Xiao Qiuqiu."

Lin Qiu gave a thumbs up, "Hu Tao, you really made the right recommendation!"

“Mr. Zhongli?” Ke Qing pondered.

Indeed, Zhongli's erudition is renowned far and wide, and he seems to have taken the Emperor's death in stride, perhaps he really does know something.

That said, this prophet is a junior member of the Hall of Rebirth, and Zhongli is a guest elder of the Hall of Rebirth. Is the Hall of Rebirth about to take off?

Ke Qing glanced at Hu Tao; this girl, who was always laughing and joking, was indeed hard for her to understand.

What kind of charm does she possess that makes these two men her subordinates?

"In that case, we won't disturb the three of you any longer." Ke Qing prepared to leave.

"Next time we meet, I'll treat you to golden shrimp balls." Lin Qiu waved goodbye.

Upon hearing the name "Golden Shrimp Balls," Ke Qing visibly froze. This prophet had actually figured out her 'weakness'!

But he's not a bad person, so having a meal together shouldn't be a problem, right...?

Yes, socializing with prophets is also part of the "Seven Stars'" job.

I'm usually too busy with work to eat well, but socializing with the prophet is part of my job, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Golden shrimp balls... Golden shrimp balls... Hehehe.

Character Voice Lines - Keqing: About Lin Qiu

"Surprisingly, he's an easy person to get along with. Hmm... his thinking is also quite unconventional, and he's very opinionated. I wonder if I could get him to work for me?"

Chapter 81 Ying Arrives

After Keqing left, Lin Qiu glanced at his emotional value and switched it to Elemental Mastery and Elemental Quantity.

Lin Qiu's emotional points, which he used to enhance his strength, had reached 100,000. In terms of sheer numbers, defeating the young master should be no problem.

The emotional impact of revealing the Emperor's death was high, but lower than expected.

The reason is that this information was so explosive that people who had read the book immediately started spreading the news, and it spread throughout Liyue in no time.

Since there was no longer a direct relationship with Lin Qiu, the emotional value received through the indirect relationship was even lower, and the subsequent increase was minimal.

After checking the emotional values, Lin Qiu noticed something: Ke Qing had left, but Gan Yu hadn't.

"Mr. Lin Qiu, do you have time tomorrow? My master wishes to see you," Gan Yu said softly.

Her master, that woman, was the True Lord of Clouds and Wind.

The big bird wanted to see Lin Qiu because it didn't know at the time that the Emperor was actually alive, so it mentioned to Gan Yu that if the prophet returned to Liyue, it would ask the prophet to come and see it.

She wanted to ask Lin Qiu about the Emperor.

Lin Qiu could only say that he couldn't say, because he had promised Zhong Li that he would reveal his identity completely after the plan was over.

"I have time," Lin Qiu nodded.

With more than ten days until the invocation ceremony, he needed to be there to witness the old man's suicide, so he planned to stay in Liyue for the next few days.

"Alright, I'll come find you again tomorrow." Gan Yu nodded politely and turned to leave.

"Hu Tao, look at her." Lin Qiu pointed at Gan Yu.

“I see, it is indeed bigger than this hall master’s.” Hu Tao nodded in agreement.

Turning to look at Navia again, who could tell who the 'big' boss was now?

"I'm showing you how polite other people are," Lin Qiu said, rubbing her forehead.

"Hehehe, even I, the head of this hall, have manners, so of course I'll look at something I don't have," Hu Tao said matter-of-factly.

"What are you talking about?" Navia didn't understand.

"It's nothing." Lin Qiu immediately changed the subject, not wanting his second boss to be influenced by Hu Tao to say something funny.

The two girls are almost evenly matched in terms of liveliness, but Hu Tao is a bit more mischievous than Navia.

Although Navia wasn't particularly reserved, she still possessed a certain degree of it.

Hu Tao is different; if she didn't say so, who would know she's also a young lady from a wealthy family?

In a way, the two women had similar experiences; both were young ladies who took over their family businesses at a young age.

They all have lively and enthusiastic personalities, and even have an elegant old man by their side.

For some reason, Navia was influenced by Miles, while Kurumi remained completely unaffected.

Two similar people with similar yet different personalities are better able to find common ground than to look in the mirror, so the two women actually have a very good relationship.

Rewind a bit, when Keqing and her companions were heading to Lin Qiu's residence, the Travelers also learned from the Adventurers' Guild that Lin Qiu was at home.

“Traveler, we’re about to meet the prophet. Have you decided what to ask him?” Paimon asked as he walked alongside Ying.

"Until then, I hope he's an easy person to get along with," Yingmei said.

“That makes sense. If the other party isn’t willing to communicate with us, then there’s no way to ask,” Paimon nodded.

By the time Yingmei and Paimon arrived at Lin Qiu's house, Gan Yu had just left.

Lin Qiu and the other two saw Gan Yu off at the door, chatted for a few more minutes, and were about to close the door and go back inside.

"Wait a minute, don't close the door yet."

While Yingmei was still considering what to say to greet him, Paimon had already flown over.

"Little Paimon?" Lin Qiu recognized the white floating object at a glance.

Since Paimon is here, is the Traveler here as well?

Lin Qiu looked into the distance and sure enough, Yingmei was standing there.

I have to say, Yingmei is really cute; the more you look at her, the cuter she becomes.

"Wow, you really do know me." Paimon was delighted.

"Luminous, come here quickly. The Seer knows us, don't be shy." Paimon beckoned.

She thought Ying hadn't come over because she was shy.

"Paimon, watch your manners." Yingmei walked over, somewhat helplessly.

Being outgoing and friendly isn't a bad thing, but the premise is that you need to understand the other person's personality first. What if the other person dislikes this lack of distance?

"It's alright, I know you all quite well, no need to be so polite." Lin Qiu waved his hand.

If I had to pick, these two would be the most familiar to me. After all, even if you don't need them to explore the world of the game, they're still the ones who handle the storyline.

However, Lin Qiu still felt a little dazed when the protagonist he was controlling appeared in front of him.

I used to walk, adventure, and travel in this world in the form of Yingmei. Now that she is in front of me, it feels really strange.

"Let's go inside and talk."

Lin Qiu invited the traveler and Paimon into the house, and introduced them to Hu Tao and Navia.

Inside the room, the traveler sat in an elegant and obedient posture, with Paimon nestled in his lap.

“Mr. Lin Qiu, I have some questions I’d like to ask you,” Ying said.

"Just call me Lin Qiu." Lin Qiu took the black tea that Navia had brewed and handed it to Ying.

Ying nodded. "Lin Qiu, I want to know about my brother."

Lin Qiu guessed that Ying would ask this question; for Ying, this was probably the question she cared about most.

"Do you want to know where your brother is?" Lin Qiu asked.

Ying first nodded, then shook her head.

"I'd like to know that too, but I want to confirm first, is he still safe?"

More than knowing where her brother was, Ying wanted to make sure he was safe.

Ying was still very worried about her brother. Based on their current travel experience, the Abyss didn't seem like a good place at all.

My brother can't get hurt, or I'll beat him up.

"He's still safe," Lin Qiu affirmed.

Ying breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Kong was still safe, and that the search could proceed more slowly.

"Then, when can we see each other again?" Knowing that her brother was alright, Ying began to worry about the question of seeing him again.

"Well, it should be soon," Lin Qiu said after thinking for a moment.

After the Sage Ceremony concludes and the matters in Liyue are settled, Luminous will encounter Daines Reeb and Sora.

This meeting was just a brief encounter, not a real reunion.

"That's great, Ying! You'll be able to find your brother soon!" Paimon said happily.

Then, a hint of disappointment crept in her voice. "After you find your brother, are you going to leave?"

Ying patted Paimon's head without saying a word.

They are twins who have traveled to many worlds, and it's probably only a matter of time before they leave this world.

"I'm sorry, this is just a meeting, not a reunion. Ying will not leave you for the time being," Lin Qiu said.

"Huh?" Paimon was stunned. What did that mean? What did "meeting" or "encountering" mean?

Ying understood. It seemed that her brother really had a problem; he wouldn't even leave with her after seeing her.

Could I really be hypnotized and brainwashed by the Abyss? How do I break free from this? I've never studied this before!
