Genshin Impact, My Villain System Is a Bit Abnormal

"Ye Lan?" Jiang Ning asked, puzzled.

"We're from the intelligence department, and although we're cooperating... we're quite skilled at interrogation. Don't worry about it. Anyway, we didn't expect to get any information from two small fry."

"Then, Keqing, is there something you need from me?"

Jiang Ning was puzzled. Surely she didn't come here just to chat with him? Ke Qing wasn't that free.

Keqing said, "Oh, it's just that in a while, Liyue needs someone to go to Mondstadt next door to bring back the batch of goods we ordered before, and also to deliver a routine official correspondence to the acting leader in Mondstadt... I just don't know if you're available?"

"Me? Why should I go?" Jiang Ning asked.

“Well, because there are always some blind bandits on the road, we need to have guards, and we need Liyue officials to handle diplomacy. Plus, we might have to stay there for a while, so… I thought of you.”

Ke Qing's eyes lit up: "You have the ability, you're not afraid of the dangers on the road, and in terms of diplomacy, although I haven't tried it, everyone's evaluation of you is very good. Plus, since you've been away from Yuehai Pavilion for a long time, the impact you might have is probably the lowest..."

Jiang Ning nodded: "Understood, okay, I'll go."

Ke Qing said, "Okay, then I'll leave it to you. I'll talk to Gan Yu about it."

Jiang Ning said, "Okay."

…………

"I'm going to Mondstadt soon. Keqing told me to take good care of myself there... Shenhe, you should come with me too, otherwise I'll be worried."

Gan Yu said softly.

Shen He nodded: "Okay."

Jiang Ning ate her meal quietly, looking very well-behaved.

In retrospect, it seems that having such a youthful appearance has its advantages.

At the very least, it's very deceptive.

No matter what happened, Senior Sister Gan Yu always protected and took care of her, and everyone at Yuehaiting was also very friendly.

Moreover, the master's side is different from the senior sister's. Whatever the senior sister wants, you have to learn to discover and find it yourself.

When it comes to your side, whatever you want, your master will give you.

However, there's still some time before I leave Mondstadt, and during this time, I need to improve my reputation in Liyue.

Jiang Ning has big ambitions. Besides, his long-term mission includes the thought: "How can a true man remain subservient to others? I'll take down Morax and seize his position!"

this task.

Therefore, Jiang Ning's current focus is on strengthening himself, improving his public image, and incidentally, seeing if he can meet Morax.

I know I'll lose when the time comes, but I'll see if I can get him to pass the position to me.

Of course, a specific plan can only be formulated after meeting with Morax in person and having a private discussion.

Jiang Ning is not at all averse to doing bad things, as long as he doesn't get caught by key people.

For example, the incident of releasing vengeful spirits into Wuwangpo these past few nights.

Jiang Ning started eating.

Let's go out for a stroll tomorrow.

53. Grandma Ping

"The wind is so noisy today, but everyone in Liyue Harbor is living a peaceful and prosperous life..."

Jiang Ning walked down the street with a candied hawthorn in his hand, looking at the vendors on either side, and couldn't help but sigh.

So, is it not good?

The system is confused.

"Of course not. Ideally, something bad should happen, or even a petty theft or pickpocketing in the street. That way, I can take action. See, wouldn't that quickly increase my reputation?"

Jiang Ning said.

[...It has to be you again, host. You're shameless, hoping something bad happens to those around you.]

Jiang Ning sneered, "You still have the nerve to say that? You met your sales target this month? Now you're just going to lie low? Fine, wait until next month, don't come crying to me for help boosting your sales."

"I was wrong, brother, I was wrong."

The system said.

Jiang Ning snorted, looked left and right, and thought, "Hmm, inspection complete. Nothing else to do. I'll go now... Hmm?"

When did such an old man appear at Yujingtai?

And this is... carrying water to water flowers?

Jiang Ning felt a surge of joy. As a young man who harbored great disrespect and whose small goal was to seize Morax's position, the small things he did in the early stages were for the sake of better forbearance.

So isn't this another opportunity to boost performance by doing good deeds?

"Old man, what are you doing?"

Jiang Ning leaned closer and asked with concern.

"Hehe, these glass lilies are blooming so beautifully... They need careful care every day, otherwise the flowers will lose their original color and vibrancy."

The old man's voice was kind, and he himself looked kind and gentle. His gaze toward Jiang Ning seemed to hold a hint of scrutiny, but for some reason, it was followed by satisfaction.

"Grandpa, let me help you. This bucket is quite heavy."

Jiang Ning said.

Very good, quite a few people around are looking over, and even the Thousand Rock Army soldiers have approving looks in their eyes.

This reputation point is definitely going to be farmed.

Jiang Ning was very satisfied.

The kind old woman said, "Just call me Grandma Ping, that's what the younger generation in the family calls me. Well then, young man, this bucket is indeed very heavy. Sometimes even my old bones feel like I can't lift it."

“Okay, Grandma Ping… Grandma Ping, do you work at Yujingtai? Are you a gardener who tends to flowers and plants? But I’ve never seen you before.”

Jiang Ning was curious.

Grandma Ping said, "I suppose so. Child, you've just arrived in Liyue Harbor, haven't you? No wonder you look unfamiliar. I went home for a while recently, so you haven't seen me before."

"I see... Is it alright to put the bucket here?"

Jiang Ning asked.

"Okay, thank you, child."

Grandma Ping said with a smile.

"See you next time then."

Jiang Ning said.

"well."

Watching Jiang Ning's hurried departure, Grandma Ping's previously cloudy eyes suddenly became clear and peaceful.

He suddenly chuckled and said, "Liu Yun, you have good taste..."

She is good-looking, has a good personality, and is well-regarded by the Emperor. Therefore, she should have no major flaws.

They're about the same age, so it's not bad...

Sigh, what have I been thinking about? I'm really getting old; I'm even thinking about these things now.

Grandma Ping shook her head helplessly, picked up the water ladle beside her, and began to tend to the flowers and plants.

…………

"Senior sister, I'm here."

Jiang Ning arrived at Yuehai Pavilion, where Gan Yu had already begun her work for the day.

Seeing Jiang Ning enter, Gan Yu smiled and said, "Junior Brother, perfect timing, could you please deliver this document to Xiao Yu for me?"

Jiang Ning said, "Okay, Senior Sister."

Xiaoyu is an office worker at the Liyue Harbor docks. She is mainly responsible for arranging official commissions for enthusiastic individuals such as freelancers or adventurers to complete and earn rewards.

Although it's suspected of competing with the Adventurers' Guild for business, the Adventurers' Guild's missions are more dangerous and trivial, while Xiaoyu's missions are more civilian-oriented, so it can be considered a clear division of labor.

"Purchase seeds of glass lilies and rainbow flowers... By the way, senior sister, speaking of which, isn't Granny Ping from Yujingtai our local gardener?"

Jiang Ning glanced at the document and asked.

"Grandma Ping...you mean Ping, right? Um, sort of, what's wrong?"

Gan Yu's expression was somewhat strange.

Jiang Ning said, "I just feel that it's too hard for such an old person to take care of all these flowers and plants by himself. Has the funding for Yuehai Pavilion become so scarce?"

Gan Yu fell silent. Was her junior brother being too helpful?

But Ah Ping... isn't an ordinary old lady...

"Actually, there's no need to worry about A-Ping's matter."

Gan Yu said.

She still felt that Jiang Ning should know A Ping's identity, since they would be seeing each other all the time in the future.

"As for Ah Ping, her true identity is also that of an immortal, but she takes the form of an old man and lives in seclusion in Liyue Harbor. Her immortal name is Song Chenlang City True Lord."

"Huh?" Jiang Ning was stunned.

Gan Yu said, "Aping has been living in seclusion in Liyue Harbor for some reasons, and she has a very good relationship with the True Lord. Although you should call her 'Senior Uncle,' Aping's disciples all call her 'Grandma Ping,' so you can continue to call her that from now on."

"...In Liyue, there really is a celestial being every few steps."

Jiang Ning was surprised but also very happy. Even without knowing his identity, he had still managed to make a good connection.

“Actually, most immortals live in seclusion in the mountains and forests…” Gan Yu said.

"It's just that you're exposed to it more often on a daily basis."
