Genshin Impact: I am an ordinary executive

Ying felt her head was a little bald. After Zuo tide gave that reminder, he left with the words "I will attend the second trial" and disappeared just as suddenly as he had appeared.

Without even considering an explanation, and without anticipating Ying's questions, he vanished so suddenly, without a single warning. Ying was left alone, frantic and losing her hair in her thoughts.

"What does this even mean?!" Exhausted from her fruitless thought, Yingxin slumped onto Abedo's desk.

The literal meaning is not hard to understand, but this statement is really... it's neither that we shouldn't trust, nor that we can trust, so can we trust or not?

You can believe it, but only a little bit, right?

Furthermore, does this imply that there's something wrong with the Knights? If so, where exactly is the problem? Is it that not everyone told her the truth, or is the identity of some members questionable?

Based on the hints Zuo tide gave her earlier, the latter possibility seems more likely. However, in Zuo tide's case, the more probable one is more likely to be a misleading trap... It can't be both, right...?

Ying jumped up from her seat—she seemed to have discovered a blind spot!

Why can't it be both?

"W-What's wrong?!" Paimon was startled by Ying's sudden outburst and didn't understand why she was reacting so strongly.

"I've figured some things out, Paimon. Let's go find Jean!" With that, Ying left Abedo's office. Paimon, though unaware of what had happened, hurriedly followed.

When the two arrived at Qin's office one after the other, Qin was dealing with some documents. Coincidentally, Kaiya, who was supposed to be out investigating clues, was also there.

"Oh, it's you two. How did it go? Did you find anything in the office?" Kaiya greeted Ying and Paimon with a smile and asked about the progress of the investigation.

“We did find some things…” Ying looked at Qin, then at Kaiya, and hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but couldn’t.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I have to go patrol the city now. You two can continue your conversation." Kaiya immediately understood what he meant and then left the office very considerately.

After he left, Qin looked at Ying again.

"Traveler, is there something you're not comfortable letting Kaiya know?"

To be honest, Qin didn't think it was necessary. But she respected the traveler's decision; since the other party had made this judgment, they must have taken it into consideration.

“I’m not good at long-winded explanations, so I’ll just get straight to the point.” Ying didn’t beat around the bush and went straight to the point after a simple opening statement. “Qin, regarding the trial of Abedo, you… or rather the Knights, have probably kept a considerable amount of information from me.”

Qin's body suddenly froze, an incredulous expression flashing across her face for a moment before she coughed twice to cover up her inner turmoil.

She took a deep breath, opened her mouth but didn't know how to speak. After a few seconds of contemplation, Qin slowly loosened her clenched hands, sighed deeply, and her expression relaxed somewhat.

"If it's because of this, then there's no need to avoid Kaiya... If you don't mind, could you allow him to participate in this meeting as well?"

......

"So that's what it was about. As expected of a traveler, you were able to spot the clues..." Kaiya clapped his hands sincerely. Although it seemed like he was just making empty promises, he was genuinely impressed.

"May I ask how you figured it out? I'm sorry, I don't mean to pry, I just want to know where the flaw was," Kaeya asked earnestly.

You should know that they had been planning this for quite some time, starting to arrange and prepare for the current situation as early as six months ago.

The enemy was extremely cunning and cautious. To keep their deception a secret, they even kept it hidden from a select few within the Knights themselves. Those in the know underwent extensive training to ensure they wouldn't give themselves away. They even managed to keep it a secret from the traveler to ensure complete authenticity, yet she herself noticed something amiss.

This is no trivial matter. The fact that travelers could notice this indicates that their plans likely have blind spots that they themselves are unaware of, which is a fatal problem.

"I'm not at liberty to go into specifics, but you shouldn't need to worry too much about this." Ying didn't explain why, but she felt there was no need to worry too much.

After all, she genuinely hadn't noticed anything wrong. Even though she had some connections with the Knights, she was still kept in the dark, which showed that the Knights were very well-prepared and their cover-up was extremely effective. If it weren't for Zuo tide's reminder, she would probably still be completely unaware.

As for how Zuo tide knew... there's really no point in dwelling on that question, since that guy knew a lot of unbelievable things from the very beginning.

"Is that so..." Qin Jianying didn't intend to say more, nor did she press further. "I will explain the whole story to you two later. After that, could you please continue to play along with us in this charade?"

After all, the other party has already guessed, and continuing to hide it will only deepen the misunderstanding. But this plan cannot be stopped, and the Traveler plays a very important role; her withdrawal midway would have a significant impact.

"I'll try my best, but to be honest, I'm not very confident." Ying agreed at first, then immediately expressed her concerns, "Knowing and not knowing are two completely different things. To be honest, I'm not confident I can still pretend well even if I know everything. Actually, from the moment I had a suspicion, I probably already knew I wouldn't be able to achieve the effect you expected..."

Ying suddenly froze. She suddenly realized something—could this be Zuo tide's original purpose in preventing her from participating in the Knights' plans as scheduled?
