Genshin Impact: I am an ordinary executive

"This... isn't that a bit inappropriate? As a guest arriving in winter, it's truly unfair to have you waste your time on trivial matters of the Knights during this Flower Festival. It's nothing serious, Mr. Zuo Xi, you don't need to worry about it." Kaiya secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, trying to persuade Zuo Xi to give up following.

But he quickly realized he had said something stupid. Sure enough, before he could even correct himself, the boomerang flew over.

"Is that so...? Then, according to Mr. Kaeya's suggestion, I'd rather wander around Mondstadt more, is that alright?" Zuo Xi smiled, her gratitude genuine. "Thank you for the Knights' kind offer. In that case, I'll certainly explore the area..."

"Wait!" Kaiya reached out to stop Zuo tide. "Since Mr. Zuo tide is so interested, then... then I'll grit my teeth and agree on behalf of the leader."

While involving the other party in what follows is definitely unwise, letting them disappear from sight and move freely during this special period is even more unsettling.

After weighing the options, Kaeya still felt it was better to keep the other party within the Knights' sight, so that they could react immediately if anything happened.

Previously, it was possible to use undercover agents to keep watch, but now, given the other party's identity, this method is obviously no longer feasible.

Although they might still be dumped or discovered before, they could still find excuses to avoid a public falling out.

But now that the other party is a god of a country, using such petty tricks would be too easy for them to exploit.

Don't say things like gods don't need to use any methods to deal with them. Based on Kaia's understanding of this former executor, even just finding something interesting could become a reason for him to do some incomprehensible things.

"Won't this be too much trouble for you?" Zuo tide asked hesitantly. "Wouldn't it be too presumptuous of you?"

Kaiya maintained a cheerful smile on her face, but inwardly she was cursing—this pretentious act... now she knows how presumptuous she is? What was she doing just now?!

"Weren't you supposed to drink with me?" Yura snorted in dissatisfaction. "You've already forgotten our agreement? I'll remember this grudge..."

"Don't hold a grudge yet," Zuo Xi stretched out her finger and gently touched Yura's lips. Although there was no contact and Yura didn't feel anything unusual, this action actually made her stop talking. "Of course I won't forget about drinking... Well, unfortunately, Mr. Kaiya, I have other appointments and I'm afraid I can't bother you."

After saying that, Zuo tide planned to leave with Yura. Judging from the direction they were heading, they were clearly heading towards Mondstadt's best tavern—Angel's Gift.

Zuo tide walked slowly, as if taking a stroll, but in her mind she had already begun to count:

Three, two, one...

"Wait a minute, sir!" After the silent count ended, Kaiya's voice indeed came from behind him.

Zuo tide stopped and turned to look at Kaiya. Although she didn't speak, the doubt in her eyes was very obvious.

“I won’t hide it from Mr. Zuo Xi anymore. What’s going to happen next is somewhat related to you.” He turned to look at Yura. “Captain Yura, although your vacation isn’t over yet, this matter is of great importance. If you can, you might as well listen to it.”

Yura pondered for a moment, hesitated slightly, and then nodded: "I'm fine with it. Let's not delay, let's go to the Knights now."

Ying and Paimon, who had been listening without saying a word for a while, finally joined the group as they headed towards the Knights' headquarters after their conversation ended.

Of course, there was plenty of casual chatting along the way, especially with Paimon in the group.

"Zuo Xi, Zuo Xi, what brings you to Mondstadt? Are you here for the Windflower Festival too?" Paimon flew around Zuo Xi, and aside from Luminous, this kind of "follower mode" probably only applies to Zuo Xi.

"I only found out about the upcoming Wind Flower Festival after I arrived in Mondstadt," Zuo tide told the truth. "As for why I came to Mondstadt, it's nothing much. I just need to discuss some matters between our two countries."

Despite knowing that Kaiya was listening intently, Zuo tide had no intention of hiding anything.

“I see,” Ying nodded, seemingly understanding. “So you’re here to see… uh, Barbatos?”

Ying actually wanted to say Wendy, but then she remembered that some people present didn't know who Wendy was, so she changed her mind.

In Ying's opinion, Zuo tide is now the god of winter, so the person he needs to discuss with should be someone of the same level, right?

“You know Barbatos is unreliable. In some ways… or rather, in all ways, it would be more appropriate to find Qin. Besides, aren’t we going to find her right now?” Zuo Xi shrugged. “I’m not saying this, Mondstadt can do without Barbatos, but it absolutely cannot do without Qin.”

Thinking of Wendy's appearance, Ying nodded in deep agreement.

"Speaking of which, you came out alone this time..." Ying seemed to realize something, hesitated slightly for a moment, then stopped hesitating, "The Flower Festival is coming soon, and during this time... you..."

Are you free?
