Still playing traditional Genshin Impact?

Logically speaking, it should have been Ningguang who entertained Xie Yan today. She was just testing Xie Yan's attitude, but she definitely couldn't say such words.

Xie Yan nodded slightly and didn't say much. He understood the other party's position.

If Ningguang personally beat drums and gongs to welcome him as soon as he entered Yujing Terrace, and then sent Ganyu to "sleep with him" at night, Xie Yan would become uneasy and suspect that the other party was setting up a "honey trap".

Uh, this seems to be a real honey trap.

By the way, Aqing's black stockings are also very good. The golden patterns on the black stockings make me want to try the effect for myself.

Seeing Keqing's pair of round and beautiful legs wrapped in black stockings with his own eyes, even Xie Yan couldn't help but nod secretly. These legs are also of the quality that can be played with for a year.

Although this true Genshin Impact requires money, it is truly worth the money, and it also allows you to unlock special character voices.

When they were almost done eating and finishing their business, Keqing finally couldn't hold back any longer. She took a deep breath and asked seriously, "Xie Yan, I heard that you challenged General Lei Dian. Is this true?"

"Of course it's true. If I hadn't won the approval of General Raiden through my bravery, how could I have served as the leader of Kande Bugyo?"

"But...that's a god!"

Keqing stood up with her hands on the table. She, a minister who had raised objections to Emperor Geo, seemed to have been greatly shocked at this moment.

Even though she already knew the answer, Keqing still couldn't control her shock when she heard Xie Yan say it in person.

She didn't really disrespect the gods and immortals. Not to mention her identity as the Emperor's cook, in fact, she just hated the fact that the immortals treated humans as children who had not grown up.

Without the protection of the immortals and the desperate fight of the Yakshas, ​​how could there be the lights of thousands of homes in Liyue today?

So it was hard for her to imagine that if the Emperor really did something wrong, who in Liyue would dare to challenge him?

Liyue, has she really grown to the point where she can leave the Emperor?

No matter what happens, everyone will just think that the Emperor must have his own hidden meaning in doing this, which is also the reason why Keqing has never been understood by others.

But if you ask yourself, Keqing can't do it to the same extent as Xie Yan.

As if seeing the girl's doubts, Xie Yan shook his head and said, "You think too much. I am not as great as you think. I chose to challenge because this is the way warriors talk to each other. Only in this way can I convey the people's wishes to her. The God of Thunder is the purest warrior. If it were in Liyue, I would never challenge the Emperor. His wisdom is as deep as the ocean. Even if there is something I don't understand, I can just ask directly."

"But even so, you would have died at that time. Weren't you afraid?"

"Someone asked me this question before. Although I would like to make up a lot of truths, in fact, fear of death is the instinct of life. It is nonsense to say that you are not afraid of death. It's just that some things are more important than life. Not everything can be measured by value."

Xie Yan didn't hide anything, and he wasn't the kind of person who was seeking fame and reputation. He wouldn't use the challenge to General Lei Dian as an opportunity to give a lecture and brag about his own benevolence, righteousness, bravery and martial arts.

Do you need others to affirm what kind of person you are?

From being questioned by the lady and the soldiers at the beginning to finding the answer later and taking the initiative to swing the sword at the gods, he has already fulfilled his will, and that is enough. Does he have to receive a certificate of "The Strongest Warrior in Teyvat" from others?

He likes straightforward communication, exhilarating battles, and beautiful women. There is nothing to hide about these things. He just needs to control his desires.

Keqing stood there for a long time without answering. Xie Yan's answer was unexpectedly simple, which made her realize that she still underestimated him.

It's not about the difference in strength, but about belief and will... She didn't think Xie Yan was as relaxed as he said. Not everyone has the courage to draw a sword against the gods.

But inspired by Xie Yan's words, Keqing suddenly figured out something.

She thinks that she and Ningguang are incompatible because she feels that in Ningguang's eyes, everything can be measured by Mora and she acts without principles... and now, Keqing is more determined in her thoughts.

"Indeed, not everything can be measured by value. Just like the Fatui, Ning Guang clearly discovered the problem with them, and even sent Gan Yu out to investigate."

"But all she wanted was to get the Fatui to back down and pay compensation. She never considered that the Fatui's research might bring harm to the people of Liyue. Can this be measured in money?"

Although the circumstances were different, Keqing did find the answers she wanted from Xie Yan.

She also began to think, can Liyue really leave the Emperor? When will Liyue become a work that the Emperor will be satisfied with?

"Thank you very much for answering my questions. Sorry, these are actually my personal questions, and it would be rude to say them out loud in today's occasion."

"It's nothing. It's normal to be doubted. But as for Ningguang, she may not be what you think."

Ningguang does value wealth, but when Liyue was facing a crisis, she gave up her own Jade Pavilion without hesitation. This is her belief and persistence. Her attitude towards the Fatui is only because she is a Tianquan Star and has more things to consider.

There was no need to say these words, not to mention that everyone has their own growth. He and Keqing just met for the first time, and it was a taboo to talk about deep feelings with a superficial acquaintance.

However, Keqing obviously didn't think so. After a conversation, she had already regarded Xie Yan as her close friend.

Just at this time, the serious business had been discussed. Keqing was attracted by the heroic spirit in Xie Yan's words. In the atmosphere, she filled a glass of wine for herself and Xie Yan.

"Cheers!" The purple-haired cat-headed girl raised her glass.

Xie Yan didn't want to ruin her mood, so he raised his glass to join in the fun.

But perhaps because she had figured things out, Keqing didn't feel as uncomfortable as before when drinking. Instead, she felt relaxed all over and couldn't help but pour a few more glasses.

Xie Yan didn't feel anything as the wine flowed down his throat. However, as he saw Keqing's face getting redder and redder and her purple eyes were a little intoxicated, he knew he couldn't let her drink anymore.

It would be fine if she drank like this in private, but now Keqing came to test Xie Yan's attitude and identity. If she went out later and Ningguang found out that Keqing was drunk, she might think that Xie Yan got her drunk on purpose.

Xie Yan also wanted to change his nickname through the official channel of Qixing. He didn't want to continue to be harmed by public opinion.

He is an honest man!

"It's getting late. I feel a little dizzy after my first long sea voyage. I want to go back and rest. How about we talk again another day?"

"Ah, okay, okay!"

Keqing then stopped toasting, but the alcohol started to take effect, and she finally realized that she couldn't drink much.

But I didn't drink much...

Keqing thought aggrievedly that it was so embarrassing to become like this after drinking a little bit of wine in front of her idol.

But the more embarrassing thing was yet to come. I stood up and walked out of the room, but before I took a few steps, I felt dizzy.

Xie Yan held her shoulders: "Are you okay?"

"No... I'm not dizzy from drinking! I just feel a little unwell!" Keqing argued subconsciously.

After standing there for a while, Keqing finally recovered and took Xie Yan along a small path and walked up the stairs to a higher location.

Keqing pointed to the row of houses above and introduced: "This is the diplomatic embassy. Diplomatic envoys from other countries also live here. But don't worry, each country has its own house."

When talking about business just now, Xie Yan and Keqing also talked about the crimes of the Fatui in Inazuma. Keqing was worried that the two sides would clash.

“Don’t worry, I won’t bring any trouble to Liyue.” Xie Yan nodded slightly.

He understood Keqing's concerns. If he attacked and killed the envoys of the Kingdom of Winter at Yujingtai, the impact would be too bad and Liyue would be in great trouble.

Xie Yan did dislike the Fatui, but if the other party did not take the initiative to provoke him, he would not take action in such a situation.

As the two were talking, they had already reached the embassy compound, where an envoy from the Kingdom of Winter happened to be walking nearby.

“Come to think of it, the Fatui’s executive officer also lives here?” Xie Yan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Keqing explained, "No, the Fatui have a lot of businesses in Liyue. That [Young Master] and his subordinates are currently in the Northern Bank. The people here at Yujingtai are just ordinary civilian employees. After all, with the Fatui's style of doing things, how could they be willing to stay in Yujingtai?"

Civilian staff...By the way, I am also considered a civilian now, right?

Xie Yan complained in his heart, then followed Keqing to the house belonging to Inazuma.

This is the Inazuma-style building, with three floors and a special martial arts training ground at the back. Every spot has been cleaned in advance.

Xie Yan didn't have any special requirements for accommodation and quality of life. He politely declined Keqing's request to arrange for servants, then took a shower and prepared to rest.

Of course, this was just what he said to the outside world. After returning to the room, Xie Yan prepared to continue practicing.

But at this moment, the system prompt sound suddenly popped up.

[Complete the task: Restore the operation of the Imperial Shadow Furnace Core and get a chance to draw a prize. Do you want to draw the prize immediately? ]

Imperial Shadow Furnace Heart?

Xie Yan was stunned for a moment, then realized that Xavier must have finally fixed the thing.

6 Cat Tsundere

Xie Yan remembered that Xavier's mission was indeed quite strenuous. He didn't expect that repairing it in reality would be so tiring. Calculating the time, it was even longer than the time spent in the game.

This also indirectly reflects the importance of the tool Yingmei. With Yingmei, the 7-day working period can be shortened to 4 days, and there is no need to worry about food or insurance.

Thinking about this, Xie Yan suddenly had an extremely brilliant idea.

"Wait, I only supervised the Yuying furnace core matter and I got the reward. If I outsource the commission to Yingmei now, wouldn't the task she completes also be counted on me?"

Classic labor dispatch!

Even though he knew that his Ma family system had certain limitations, this was equivalent to getting it for free. It was a good deal in every way, except that it seemed a bit like exploiting Yingmei.

Forget it, I'll give Yingmei more compensation when the time comes.

He turned his attention back to the lottery and took the prize without hesitation.

[Obtained item--Holy Shroud. 】

[Holy Shroud: Can defend against certain elemental attacks, and has a certain sealing effect on the wrapped parts, preventing negative energy from eroding.]

Alas, what’s the use of the holy cloth? It would be much better to give me a jewel sword.

However, the card pool of our own system has always been like this. The card draw rate actually depends on the "excitement" of the task completion, not just the participation.

Taking a look at the holy cloth, Xie Yan felt unlucky as it could only wrap around one arm.

Dog system, what are you implying?

After learning from the Son of God that his bloodline might be related to Qilin, and considering that Sasuke and Shirou both had experiences of broken hands, Xie Yan was very worried that he would get a "Qilin arm".

After putting the Holy Shroud Cloth into the system space, Xie Yan looked towards the mall panel again. With his salary, monthly card, and the large and small commissions from the past period of time, he now has more than 648 million Mora. If he can maximize the transaction volume this month, he can get a double reward of W.

"I have to max out before heading to Xumi. What I lack most right now is physical fitness, which is the foundation of everything."

"But the number of draws for this month's card has been accumulating but has been useless... Let's give it a try."

It was uncomfortable to have the red dot there, so Xie Yan thought about it and used up all his attempts.

"Padisaran, mint, sweet flower, sunset fruit, fairy jumping wall recipes..."

Items flashed before my eyes one by one, and it turned out that the drop rate of normal card draws was shockingly low.

Just as I was thinking this, the screen in front of me suddenly vibrated.

[Obtained item: Keqing's black silk stockings. ]

The black silk stockings that he had been coveting just now immediately fell into Xie Yan's hands.

Xie Yan rubbed it subconsciously and found it felt really good, very smooth and moist.

As for smelling it, do you think Xie Yan is such a pervert?

Putting the black silk stockings into a storage space that looked like a museum, Xie Yan took a deep breath and entered a state of cultivation.

"Trace, on!"

The shadow of a purple sword slowly appeared in his hand.

After his spiritual connection with Ying again, he gained a new understanding of his dream.

As for the undercurrents after arriving in Liyue, Xie Yan is actually not worried.

He had even solved crises like Inazuma's, which was surrounded by bombs, one by one, so this kind of test confrontation now seemed to him to be just a small fight.

By the way, speaking of which, I have to go outside and touch Liyue’s Seven-Day Statue tomorrow.

.....

After leaving the diplomatic embassy, ​​Keqing sat outside in the cold wind for a while, and then went to Qixing's office after calming down.

Ningguang had already arrived at Yujingtai from Qun Yu Pavilion and was sitting at the table waiting for Keqing.

Seeing Keqing come in, Ningguang asked directly: "How is it?"

"I think there is no problem. He came here with sincerity to establish diplomatic relations. You will know when you talk to him tomorrow. The matter of the immortal bloodline should not be false. Since he wants to meet Ganyu, there is no need for him to lie in a place like this."

"It seems like you two get along well? You actually drank quite a bit of wine?"

"I took the initiative to invite him to drink, Ningguang. If you don't want to trust me, what's the point of letting me test him?"

"It's not that I don't trust you, but I think things can't be that simple. The time for the Immortal Invitation Ceremony is approaching, but Liyue is undercurrent. If something goes wrong, how can we explain it to the Emperor?"

Ningguang stood up and walked to Keqing, speaking sincerely.

She knew Keqing's personality. Even though she had feelings for Xie Yan because of their similar ideals, it would never affect her position as a Yuheng Star.

The reason why Keqing was asked to go for the talk was that their personalities were compatible. Not only could she find out Xie Yan's attitude, but she could also make both parties have a pleasant conversation. She got the job done while considering the overall situation. This was exactly Ningguang's usual style of doing things.

Keqing didn't want to play tricks on her, so she said bluntly, "Ningguang, I understand your concerns. After all, he is now a martial arts master who is difficult to control, and he is also a follower of the Thunder God. Even though Inazuma and Liyue have a good relationship, we can't relax with him after just one meeting. If he goes out tomorrow, you don't need to send anyone, I will follow him myself."

"Then I'll trouble you, Keqing. I don't want to be so wary of my own people. If he is really the descendant of Lord Burning Heaven and Boiling Sea, I will be angrily rebuked by the immortals for my actions. Even the emperor will have some complaints. But Ganyu is not back now, and you and I don't know Xie Yan well, so I can only give it more consideration."

"I'm glad you understand. However, based on our conversation today, I don't think he is a petty person. There is no need to worry about this matter. It's just that Ningguang, it's not that I'm drunk, but I really think that we should change our attitude towards the Fatui. You should have received the information about Inazuma, right? They are simply reckless lunatics."
