Still playing traditional Genshin Impact?

"You did a good job today, otherwise I would have to find a way to sell the weapons."

Ying didn't react much, but still hummed in response.

Xie Yan felt that she was even cuter, and while she was still dazed, he whispered in her ear, "But the sales volume still hasn't reached the standard. So, if you call me something nicer, I'll consider it a success and give you a commission."

Ying was stunned for a moment, and repeated subconsciously: "A nicer name?"

"Yeah, brother, father and so on." Xie Yan continued to tease Yingmei.

Yingmei is usually very vigilant. Even though the two of them are now a team, Ying still hasn't let down her guard... Xie Yan knows that this is not just true for himself. Even Paimeng has not gained Ying's complete trust at this time.

When these two guys are together, sometimes they really have hundreds of thoughts in their minds.

However--

Before Xie Yan could continue teasing, Ying was just slightly startled, and continued to repeat Xie Yan's words subconsciously, blurting out in a dazed and cute voice: "Dad?"

This name hit Xie Yan's heart like a bolt from the blue.

But that's just the beginning.

The blue-haired lady came back at some point, and when she saw Xie Yan and Ying Mei leaving together, she said loudly, "I've already paid the bill, you guys..."

Halfway through her speech, she also heard Yingmei's unbelievable name, and her voice suddenly stopped.

She looked at Xie Yan deeply, then turned her gaze to the drunk Yingmei. Thinking of how the two of them did not avoid each other when asking questions, her gaze became deep.

"You young people are quite extravagant..." Ye Lan left in a hurry.

She suddenly felt that falling in love seemed quite interesting.

Exciting enough!

.....

After a long time.

After sending Ying back to the embassy to rest and asking Paimeng to take good care of her, Xie Yan then walked towards Yuehai Pavilion. He planned to go to Qun Yu Pavilion to find Ningguang.

He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Xie Yan felt that Paimeng’s gaze seemed to become a little wary.

Is it that serious? I just want Ying to call me brother, not dad!

But you know what, Xie Yan was really surprised by Ying's call of "Dad". That soft, sweet voice with a hint of confusion calling "Dad" made him think a lot. Why didn't he think of letting Xinhai call him like that before?

I won’t say more. After this battle is over and the dark unrest is suppressed, he will bring Yingmei back to Inazuma to start the legendary quest, Act 1: Inazuma Hot Spring Festival.

Damn, why does it feel like I’m setting a flag?

When I arrived at Yuehai Pavilion, it was almost as busy as last time. Secretaries were walking around holding thick documents and reports, which gave me a headache just by looking at them.

Compared to Inazuma, the government affairs handling in Liyue is obviously much more detailed.

There is no way. Although they both have a similar ancient background, Inazuma's side is a hereditary family system after all. If the people in a department on Liyue's side are just colleagues, then on Inazuma's side, a department is basically made up of people from his own family. Of course, they don't need to keep records or make reports when doing things. Only when they encounter something that cannot be handled will they report it to the assessment office and let General Lei Dian make the decision.

As a result, many problems naturally arose.

"We really need to build up the Anbu when we go back... Actually, the Okujishu are good, but they are the direct guards of the Kage. Even if the Kage doesn't need their protection, the proper etiquette standards should still be followed. We need to recruit more people, or reorganize the final group."

Having made up his mind, Xie Yan rode the wind to the Qun Yu Pavilion.

Ningguang had already received the notice from the secretary, so naturally she came out to greet them early.

33 Time Management Master

Compared to Keqing, Ningguang seems to pay more attention to Xie Yan. She always follows high standards in terms of etiquette and her style of doing things is also refreshing.

But perhaps it was because of the inherent impression, even though they almost became siblings before, it was difficult for Xie Yan to truly trust her.

After all, as the Celestial Power Star, Ningguang is the top leader of Liyue unless the immortals or the emperor interfere.

Ningguang is not from a prominent family like Keqing. The Emperor once lamented that when Ningguang started from scratch, she walked barefoot from Yaoguang Beach to the South Pier to sell goods.

To this day, she has defeated countless opponents and become a Tianquan Star. How could she be as kind as she appears to be?

According to Xie Yan's thoughts, with Ningguang's personality, unless he turned into a shota, she would probably let down her guard against him completely, and if she caught him, she would use facial cleanser and brain pad waves to rub her hard.

Unfortunately, I have the body shape of an adult man, so I probably won’t be able to enjoy this benefit.

But then again, Ningguang wanted him to acknowledge her as her sister before, which was probably the same as what the Emperor thought. He wanted to use him to reconcile the people and immortals in Liyue. If they really became sworn siblings at that time, perhaps their relationship would have changed afterwards.

After shaking hands with Ningguang and exchanging a few pleasantries, the two of them went to Ningguang's office together.

Secretary Bai Shi skillfully poured tea for the two of them, then quietly left and closed the door.

"Xie Yan, you came here today to ask me about business skills, or... to recognize me as your sister?" Ningguang's lips curled up into a smile, and her round and slender white legs crossed.

Her royal sister's figure is already beautiful against the cheongsam, and it is even more attractive at this moment.

Xie Yan was stunned for a moment, but his eyes soon stayed on Ningguang's hand. She had taken out her pipe at some point and took two puffs of it happily.

What era is it now? Are you still smoking traditional cigarettes?

Xie Yan complained in his heart, but he was no longer as reserved as before.

How should I put it? Actually, he knew that Ningguang created this kind of conversation atmosphere to show that she treated him as her own, but she was really very nice. He couldn't just keep a stern face, right?

"I came to see Sister Ningguang today mainly because I want to trouble you with something." Xie Yan got straight to the point. "In fact, this trip to Liyue is not only to restore diplomatic relations between the two countries and return to our roots, but also to go to Xumi...but this matter needs to be kept secret."

He did not shy away from explaining the situation in general on the spot.

If Ningguang really wanted to investigate, she could just ask Yanfei and Yelan and find out. Besides, if someone can't even be honest when asking someone to do something for you, it would make you seem petty.

Ningguang had been listening patiently. After he finished speaking, a hint of surprise flashed across her ruby-like eyes. She had not expected that Xie Yan was still at odds with the Church of the Holy Spirit.

Although it seems that Xie Yan is planning to infiltrate perfectly this time, if it is not handled properly, the Ministry of Education will be in trouble and it will become another form of perfect infiltration.

That's right. Ningguang didn't think the Order had a chance of winning. Although Xie Yan didn't show much emotion, he was calm and composed, and acted in a very organized manner. It was obvious that he had made a plan long ago... But why didn't he just ask General Lei Dian to take action? Could there be some hidden secret?

She was still very optimistic about Xie Yan, otherwise she wouldn't have thought of winning him over again and again.

Xie Yan neglected this point and underestimated himself.

As the most powerful Tianquan Star, Ningguang does not need to please anyone. Even if she wants to reconcile the relationship between humans and immortals, she can find a way slowly. This is not something that can be changed overnight. Wanting to form a sister-brother relationship with Xie Yan means she really values ​​him as a person.

Although there is indeed an idea of ​​using his status as a descendant of the Xie family and even using it to consolidate his own authority, personal value is an important factor in interpersonal communication. Except for relatives, there is no love without reason in the world.

After thinking for a while, Ningguang said in a deep voice: "Since you already have a plan, I won't interfere. But how do you want us to help? Announce to the public that you have returned to Inazuma?"

"That's what I had planned, but the rest of the Inazuma envoys are here, and it's not credible that I'm going back alone. So I'll just say I'm going to Jueyunjian to practice magic. I'll also talk to Ganyu about it later."

"it is good."

Ningguang answered decisively and did not ask him if he wanted to hide it from the Fatui or anything like that. She always did things in a way that made people feel comfortable.

But Ningguang was so decisive and didn't even ask for anything in return. Xie Yan didn't know what to say.

He couldn't treat Ningguang the same way he treated Keqing, but he always felt bad about owing someone a favor.

"Sister Ningguang, is there anything I can help you with?"

"I did have some ideas, but you have something important to do right now, so why don't you come back and talk about it later."

Having said this, Ningguang sat forward slightly.

She actually wanted Xie Yan to recognize her sister, but she was Fengxing, not Fengxian, so it was unlikely that she would recognize him as her sister.

There is no doubt that Ningguang overestimated Xie Yan's courage.

The two chatted for a few more words, then got up and left together.

Originally, Xie Yan was planning to return to the embassy to practice, but Gan Yu happened to come back to report on her work, so he stayed on the deck outside and waited.

Not long after, Ganyu came hurriedly.

"I just heard from Ningguang that you are leaving Liyue tomorrow?"

"Well, I had planned to stay for a few days, but the situation is urgent and we have to leave early."

Ganyu gently played with the blue hair by her ear, still looking dazed.

But at this moment, she puffed up her cheeks slightly: "Why didn't you tell me first? I am obviously your adopted sister."

Even though she was the one who snatched Ningguang away, Ganyu still felt it was not good that the other party knew the news first.

"Well... Actually, I came here to look for you, Sister Ganyu, but I found that you were not here." Xie Yan suddenly entered high emotional intelligence mode, "But I will come back as soon as possible after this is over."

"That's more like it, but you're going to Xumi for family matters, right?"

Gan Yu was not ignorant of the ways of the world, she was just confused about herself. After listening to Xie Yan's words, she roughly guessed what the other person was thinking.

This made Xie Yan stunned for a moment. Seeing that Gan Yu had already guessed it, he said that the Emperor was a master and gave him a brief account of what had happened.

Ganyu had the right to know about this matter. She was related to the Xie family, but her seniority was a little too high.

"This should be an immortal who travels in the mortal world, just like Grandma Ping." Ganyu quickly made a judgment, but then she became curious. "I have seen all the immortals in Liyue, but the only one who knows so much about the Xie family is the Emperor, except for me and the Great Sage who conquers the demons. Could this immortal be the incarnation of the Emperor?"

This is not Ganyu's imagination. According to the legend, the Geo King does have many incarnations wandering the mortal world.

Xie Yan didn’t mention Zhongli and Wangsheng Hall, but he wasn’t worried about the old man’s retirement plan being exposed.

He also didn't tell Ganyu that this was the Emperor's friend... Ganyu had been looking forward to it since the Demon War until now, and she knew best who the Emperor's friends were.

But soon, Ganyu suddenly thought of a more important question.

Her fair and beautiful face suddenly turned an alluring blush, and her voice became a little intermittent.

"You...you said that an expert told you that the Qilin's bloodline cannot be diluted any further. Could it be this immortal?"

Xie Yan nodded subconsciously.

Ganyu opened her mouth and stood there in a daze.

Coconut Sheep was shocked!

If it is really the Emperor, then does the Emperor want to grant the marriage?

But Xie Yan is my junior, this is too much of an old sheep eating young grass! Master will talk about it everywhere when he comes to visit!

If the master knew... huh? Wait, if the emperor granted the marriage, the master would probably say "the emperor must have his own reasons for doing this", and then let Ganyu rest assured to take care of the baby, and maybe even tinker with a few new inventions for postpartum confinement.

Gan Yu's thoughts raced as she thought about the various responses that Master Liuyun Jiefeng might make, and her fair face became increasingly red.

"No, I need to think about it carefully!" Ganyu left in a hurry.

But before she disappeared from Xie Yan's sight, she turned around and warned: "Don't fall behind in the practice of immortal arts. For you, developing the Qilin bloodline is equivalent to condensing the body of a demon god. All aspects of your physical quality will be improved."

Xie Yan hesitated to speak, he knew that Gan Yu was overthinking it again. Even if the old man granted the marriage, it must be because both parties were willing to help.

But Ganyu is like this. Once it involves herself, she will be particularly confused.

"I still haven't completely untied her knot. She's still using her duties to support herself... I'll go talk to Ganyu next time I come back."

Xie Yan always felt that the next meeting would be in Jueyunjian, and he didn't know what the chatty Zhenjun would say when he saw him.

...

After talking about Ningguang and Ganyu, the next one is Keqing.

This made Xie Yan feel as if he had become a master of time management.

Well, there's nothing he can do about it, since all the senior officials in Liyue are girls.

In a sense, Xie Yan also gloriously completed the mission of a diplomatic ambassador.

After arriving at the construction site where Keqing was, Xie Yan looked around but couldn't find her.

"The project has finally been completed."

He heard a familiar voice and saw a dusty figure walking towards him. After taking off the helmet, he recognized it as Keqing by the iconic purple cat head.

Yes, when she comes to the construction site, Keqing definitely won’t wear a skirt and black stockings, so she looks like an ordinary worker.

"Xie Yan, you came at the right time. I've been working overtime for a while and was just about to go out for dinner." Keqing was a little reserved when she spoke. After all, she was a girl and she felt embarrassed when Xie Yan saw her dirty appearance.

Xie Yan didn't care much about it. Although Keqing was a bit strict, the construction of the house was supposed to use the most stringent standards.

But Aqing was obviously unable to do what she wanted. She could invite Xie Yan to dinner, but she couldn't invite him to take a shower, right?

It also didn't feel appropriate to let Xie Yan wait outside for her to take a shower.

"By the way, I was just saying that I would take care of your first business. It seems that your employee is quite capable. The weapons store has just opened for business today and the business is pretty good." The two of them had just arrived at the weapons store when they were talking.

Xie Yan invited her into the store, but there were relatively few weapons here. Keqing looked at the remaining two four-star weapons and frowned slightly, saying, "Although the quality is not bad, it is much worse than the one I saw last time."

"I can't help it. If it does too well, it won't sell. I need to get some funds quickly."

As Xie Yan explained, he started a new projection in his hand.
