Still playing traditional Genshin Impact?

"Nine Divine Destructions, first move, a moment."

The pure and bright sword light suddenly lit up, and Ying felt as if the world in front of her eyes was frozen. She could only watch the sword light, like a stunning sight from the sky, slashing down towards her.

The sword stopped an inch in front of his forehead, and then Xie Yan let his dream disappear.

"This is..."

"I pondered over it for a long time in Xumi, and after returning to Inazuma and fighting with a group of sword masters, I had a preliminary idea. This is based on Tengu Tsou and incorporates the rules."

This is also the level of shadow swordsmanship, but her swordsmanship is difficult for ordinary people to comprehend, so she deliberately split it up and created many schools so that Inami and her people can learn it.

Although You was unable to understand the rules, the sword strike just now alone brought her great benefits.

"Go back, take a shower and go to sleep. You can practice slowly over the next few days." Xie Yan patted her shoulder.

After a while, she already had an inexplicable trust in Xie Yan.

Ying looked thoughtful and was still thinking. After she understood something, she went back to the room with Xie Yan.

.....

After a long time.

After resting for a while, Qin opened her eyes and quickly got up after seeing the time shown on the clock.

She had tried her best to tell herself before going to bed that she had to patrol the city defenses in the middle of the night, but she was too tired during this period and ended up oversleeping.

"Your Highness Xie Yan, really..." Qin was in mixed feelings. She wanted to be angry but couldn't. She knew that Xie Yan was concerned about her.

But now she has a good understanding of Xie Yan's tyranny. First, he brought a thundercloud to the heads of the Fatui after he went out, and then he threatened her unreasonably. His behavior is completely different from Lord Barbatos' easy-going and permissive attitude.

But some ideas cannot be compromised. Even if Xie Yan wants to...educate her, Qin will never give in.

"By the way, there are still some things I want to ask His Highness Xie Yan. His dealing with the Fatui has caused Mondstadt a lot of trouble." Qin rubbed her eyes in annoyance, picked up her sword and walked towards Xie Yan's room.

She remembered Xie Yan said he didn't sleep at night, so it wouldn't be a disturbance if she went over there.

But after walking two steps, Qin felt that something was wrong. It was not right to carry a knife to see the gods in the middle of the night.

Mond offers his sword?

Qin had no choice but to put the sword on the table and walked towards Xie Yan's room.

36 Nashida's motherly love and filial piety, Qin's transformation

the other side.

Facing Paimeng's speechless gaze, Xie Yan left a sentence "Where is my daughter Yingmei?" and asked Yingmei to stay by his side to protect him, while he communicated with the World Tree and the Great Compassion Tree King for a cross-border call.

This was mainly due to the consideration that Brother Long might launch a sneak attack without following the moral code of martial arts. Xie Yan had also told Ying about this possibility before.

Paimon was a little looking forward to it... If Kong suddenly appeared and Ying said in a muffled voice "Who dares to hurt my godfather", just thinking about it, one can guess how exciting the scene would be.

She decided that she could add some fuel to the fire!

Xie Yan didn't know that there was another funny person around him, but he had long known that Paimeng had a rebellious mind, so he didn't care about it.

If Paimeng is willing to live in peace, he really won't care. If she really wants to rebel, Xie Yan will have no choice but to let her try out his tricks and teach her everything he knows.

The process was the same as last time, when Xie Yan entered and exited the depths of the World Tree, Nashida and the Great Compassion Tree King, who were incarnations, both sensed something.

Not long after, the Great Compassion Tree King appeared again. She was wearing a new dress that she bought when she went shopping last time, and the necklace that she gave him was hanging on her chest.

Noticing Xie Yan's gaze, she asked calmly, "Over the past five hundred years, clothing styles have improved a lot. What do you think of this one?"

"Uh, didn't I already say that last time?"

"Who didn't you praise last time?"

The Great Ci Tree King rolled his eyes at him. He had thought that this kid's emotional intelligence would improve by leaps and bounds after experiencing high-end games, but he didn't expect that he would still need his guidance.

She suddenly asked this question, didn't she just want to hear Xie Yan's evaluation alone? Even if he just praised her casually, she would be happy.

Xie Yan, who was reminded, immediately came to his senses, but did the opposite: "This dress won't do."

"What's not working?"

"Although it looks beautiful, when we are alone, I would like your skirt to be shorter, and it would be best if you could change it to white silk stockings and leg rings."

Yes, a miHoYo game without leg rings is soulless.

Xie Yan used his dream power to show her the picture effect. Her pretty face turned red and she snorted coldly, "You have quite a lot of tricks."

You want to increase your attack speed, right?

But Xie Yan was willing to discuss the XP issue with her, which obviously meant that he was preparing to launch the next attack... Well, at least she didn't have to plan the content of the weekly report by herself. If she did it a few more times, she might be exposed.

At that time, she was afraid that she could only get a reduced sentence if she gave Nashida up as well. Although Nashida probably thought so too, both of them were ready to betray each other at any time.

A loving mother and a filial daughter!

Goodbye, mom, and my cowardice!

Having said that, the Great Compassion Tree King still held on to his bottom line on the surface: "I don't mind changing these, you can arrange them as you like, but you need to pass Zhou Ben's test first."

Xie Yan was shocked. Did the Great Compassion Tree King agree? Why did she say that it seemed like she could do more than just exchange for white silk?

Imagining the scene in his mind, Xie Yan couldn't help swallowing.

He restored his credibility.

Seeing his expression, the Great Compassion Tree King had no time to feel proud in his heart, and Nashida's sweet voice rang in his ears: "Come on, mom, do you want me to help you design clothes?"

The pride that had just risen in her heart was instantly extinguished. If she had control over Xie Yan, then Nashida had control over her.

Even if she could take Xie Yan somewhere else during the week, when she returned, Nashida would definitely ask her if she returned with a full load or something like that.

And at this time, the Great Ci Tree King could not accept asking Nashida to design an attack speed costume for Xie Yan to speed up his output. This was too much of a trick.

After sternly rejecting Nashida, the Great Compassion Tree King took the initiative to change the subject: "Xie Yan, you contacted me suddenly because of something, right?"

Speaking of business, Xie Yan's face suddenly became serious: "Two things, one is that we explored the Wolf Territory today. The Abyss Cult has set up a large node here that is comparable to Heguan. The second is about the traitor in the Church Order Institute. The Kingdom of Winter has been infiltrating other countries."

"It seems that the Abyss Cult not only wants to counterattack, but also wants to use the Wolf Territory as an outpost. Their action this time may have called over the Abyss Cult forces from the surrounding countries. Ying's brother is indeed in a very high status." The Great Compassion Tree King looked thoughtful.

Xie Yan was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted. Indeed, Kong was just a prince, and he was not the founder of the Abyss Cult. If one really counted according to the seniority of the human kingdom, he also had a "father" above him.

Well, in this case, there doesn't seem to be any problem with Yingmei recognizing herself as her adoptive father. But I don't understand why Kong, an adventer, is determined to help Kanriya restore his country.

"By the way, Buyer, the Cult of the Abyss has been planning to attack Mondstadt for a long time. It would be useless even if they killed all the people of Mondstadt, right?" Xie Yan remembered that several legendary quests in Mondstadt had the shadow of the Cult of the Abyss.

In Uncle Lu's mission, the Abyss Cult was planning to attack the city. During Jean's one-day holiday, there was also an Abyss Mage who wanted to take advantage of Jean's bad condition to kill her in order to capture Mondstadt. If you don't know, you might think that Venti is more hated by Kanrea than justice.

The Great Compassion Tree King shook his head: "The Abyss Cult does not need killing, but wants to accelerate the erosion of the Abyss on the continent of Teyvat through rituals and shake the laws of the world. This will further weaken the law of nature, which is also the principle of the reversed statue."

Xie Yan suddenly realized that if the area of ​​Mondstadt was reversed into the territory of the abyss, it would be equivalent to the abyss tearing a big hole in Teyvat. In the future, the monsters and strong men from the abyss would not be suppressed by the laws, and would break through the defense set up by heaven from the inside.

The reason why we chose Mondstadt is that there is no other way. Why don't you let the Abyss Cult attack Liyue Harbor or Inazuma City?

"As for the matter of the traitors in the Ministry of Education, I have actually been on guard against it for a long time. There is no need to be so nervous. They will be more useful if we keep them for the time being." The Great Compassion Tree King stated slowly.

Xie Yan knew that he was worrying for nothing. Nashida might be deceived. The Great Kindness Tree King was not that easy to deal with. She just wanted to fish. He was afraid that no one except himself could defeat the God of Wisdom.

Wait, why does this feel a little off?

Xie Yan seemed to have discovered some blind spots. No, since he had won so successfully, there should be no problem.

He is the number one ADC in Teyvat and is very good.

Xie Yan scratched his head and said carefully, "I have no intention of interfering in Mondstadt's politics, but Captain Qin is too stubborn. How do you think I can change her mind?"

Tuning Captain Qin is a technical job. The children of the Gunhild family must learn to shout Everguard Mond before they shout "Mom". It is too difficult to make her "fall from evil". Xie Yan can't think of any other way except using the "Command Spell", but it is impossible to convince Qin Xin in this way.

You can't start with Barbara, right? Don't say it's really possible, you can say to Jean, "You don't want me to use your sister's body to remove the curse, do you?" Break Jean's psychological defense and let the female knight do it herself, and then tell Barbara, "Your sister has been captured. If you want to save your sister, it depends on your sincerity."

But Xie Yan couldn't do such a thing, which required a word more insulting than "newborn".

He told the Great Compassion Tree King about Mond's general situation. She and Nashida, who was eavesdropping, shook their heads repeatedly. They didn't expect that Mond's problems were no less serious than Xumi's.

"In fact, her biggest problem is not her ideology, but her identity. She doesn't stand in the perspective of a ruler." The Great Compassion Tree King said calmly, "So the best way is to find out the difference between her ideology and reality, let her realize the loopholes, and then create gaps little by little to shake her. In the process, instill your ideology in her in a way that she can understand."

While Xie Yan was still thinking, Nashida took a deep breath and said, "Mom, what you mean is that you should use Mond's current situation to make her waver, and then let her slowly [break the rules], and when she is completely transformed, she will completely become the shape of Xie Yan's brother."

Horror!

Only then did Nashida realize how powerful her mother was. When it came to training female knights, her mother was the most professional. It was a complete surrender from mind to body... Of course, she knew her mother didn't want to create a love rival, she just wanted to change Jean's ideas.

Although there is no need to take over the position of Mondstadt's God of Wind, it would still be a good deal if Mondstadt could be controlled indirectly.

Xie Yan's comprehension was much slower than Nashida's. By the time Nashida had figured out the adjustment plan, he had a preliminary idea. This truly reflected the difference in the levels of the three.

"I understand. Let's stop here for today. Don't worry about Mondstadt. When the Abyss Cult comes out, I will fight them and the mission will be completed."

Xie Yan left after he finished speaking.

He didn't think as deeply as the Great Compassion Tree King, nor did he have the intention of sleeping with Qin, but he was really pissed off by this guy today.

But when he regained consciousness and subconsciously glanced around, he found Qin walking outside with a sword in her hand. After hesitating for a while, she put the sword down.

Xie Yan was frightened!

Fast forward to Overlord’s assassination, and the scene is cordoned off.

Yingmei followed his gaze and looked out the door: "What's wrong?"

"Captain Qin is here. He should be asking about what happened before. You should go back to sleep." Xie Yan patted Yingmei's little butt.

If she wasn't standing, Yingmei would almost turn over as if by reflex... No, she had to stay away from Xie Yan for the next few days. At least before she met her brother, she must not expose her situation.

After seeing my brother, it would be reasonable to relax at that time, right?

Big party is considered small party!

Yingmei and Paimon pushed the door open and Qin greeted them, then entered the room.

But the two had a dispute before, and Qin didn't know what attitude to use to face him. The atmosphere suddenly became cold after she came in. Xie Yan originally wanted to play the "Mondt offering a knife" joke with Qin after seeing his adopted daughter Yingmei leave, but now he had to put it aside.

"Please sit down first." Xie Yan sat opposite Qin and poured her a cup of tea. "What does Captain Qin want to ask? It's not about the Fatui, right?"

Qin was extremely reverent towards the gods. Seeing Xie Yan taking such good care of her, she did not even bother to reply and hurriedly and respectfully poured Xie Yan a cup of tea.

Xie Yan was not surprised. Gunhild was not only a knight but also the original priest family of the God of Wind. Of course, they would pay attention to the cultivation of etiquette.

But now he just wanted to make Captain Qin waver, so he took a sip of tea and joked, "Qin, do you know about Liyue's wedding wine?"

"Wedding wine?" Qin was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Xie Yan would say this, but she answered truthfully: "I have heard a little about it. It is said to be a ceremony for newlyweds before the bridal chamber."

"Hmm? I thought Qin was the kind of ascetic, but I didn't expect she even knows something about love?"

"this..."

Qin's cheeks gradually turned red. Many people thought she was old-fashioned and boring, but in fact, she had always liked reading novels about love.

It was not because of the impact of her parents' love and separation on her, nor was it because her knight training delayed the girl's best years. It was just a simple yearning for the kind of love that was as delicate yet fragile as spider silk.

But Qin also knew the responsibilities of a Dandelion Knight. Love was an unattainable luxury for her. She had no time to think about those things. She could only keep her girlish thoughts secret. Only in the dead of night would she perhaps sigh quietly.

At this moment... Qin subconsciously looked out the window. It was already late at night, and there was only herself and Xie Yan in the room. Her heartbeat suddenly quickened a lot.

Drinking and chatting with the one she loves at night was Qin's fantasy when she was a girl. Although they are just drinking tea now, the scene and atmosphere are still right, especially after Xie Yan reminded her of the wedding wine.

Is His Highness Xie Yan hinting at me? After drinking the wedding wine, the Liyue couple will go to bed... No, that's not right. He shouldn't like me. He treats me more like a business person. He likes You more.

Perhaps it was because she had a rare break, Qin started to have wild thoughts. She didn't dare to look Xie Yan in the eye, and she felt inexplicably disappointed for losing to You.

Qin lowered her head and hesitated for a while, unwilling to reveal her few secret thoughts, and said hesitantly: "Well... Actually, I have a friend who likes to read romance novels. I heard it from her."

Xie Yan paused while drinking his tea.

As the saying goes, when people can’t hold it together, they usually can’t hold it together.

Well, mainly because of Qin's slightly red face and wandering eyes, Xie Yan finally saw the girlish personality underneath Qin's old-fashioned and calm mask, or in other words, this was the real her.

Xie Yan's impression of Jean has always been that of the Dandelion Knight in the game who is steady, responsible, and willing to give everything for Mondstadt. When he came to reality, he found that this was indeed the case. But regardless of whether the concept is correct, are there really such perfect people in the world?

Being too perfect can make people feel alienated. This was probably the reason why Xie Yan didn’t like Qin before. She was like a “symbol” of truth, goodness and beauty, rather than a flesh-and-blood person like You who made Xie Yan feel real.

Xie Yan just didn't believe it. Didn't Qin ever think about herself? Didn't she have any negative thoughts? It was clearly reflected in the legendary mission. Even if she fainted from exhaustion, Mond's system would not change at all. Sooner or later, Qin would not be able to hold on because of the work.

And she clearly knew the ability of the Knights Templar at the grassroots level, but just as the Lawrence family was branded as a sinner, the Gunhild family was also branded as "Eternal Protector of Mondstadt".

It's not that guarding is wrong, it's just that this kind of belief inheritance, like a stamp of thought, is too heavy for one person, causing Qin to look more like an idealized existence. She wants to bear everything alone. This is more obvious after she became the acting leader, and it also brought more problems.

"You're a little more interesting now. Before, I felt like I was talking to a statue."

"I shouldn't be that boring..."

Xie Yan shook his head slightly, and continued the previous topic: "Captain Qin's friend still has time to read romance novels, it seems that the work should be easy?"
