Genshin Impact: I am a high-ranking official from various countries

With a mysterious smile on his face, Chen Yue said with certainty, "Besides, even if they knew, what would happen? It would just make things a little more complicated. Wouldn't it be OK to just delete that part of the memory?"

Chen Yue's words revealed an unquestionable determination, as if in his eyes, all difficulties and challenges were just pebbles on the road to success, and he could continue to move forward with just a light kick. This absolute confidence in his own abilities made people marvel.

"Your strength has returned to its prime?" Chen Yin paused, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She stared at Chen Yue, trying to see something from his movements.

Chen Yue shook his head slightly, with a meaningful smile: "No, but I have almost recovered. Not much, but enough. Although there are ways to improve it immediately, I don't need to take that risk now." His tone was relaxed, and he didn't seem to care about his current strength.

Having said that, Chen Yue changed the topic, stared at Chen Yin, and asked curiously: "Compared to this, I'm more curious about your changes. You seem to be particularly obedient these days!" There was a hint of ridicule and joking in his tone, which made people want to laugh.

Chen Yin frowned when she heard this, and the comb in her hand unconsciously spun around her fingertips for a few circles, and finally put it down gently, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes. "Change?" She whispered softly, as if thinking about how to answer this sudden question.

"It's nothing, actually. People always change, don't they? I gradually realized how important our common goal is. It's no longer just obedience, but a genuine desire to help you, and to help myself. Besides, don't you need me the same way?" Chen Yin's tone was serious and solemn.

She looked at Chen Yue, her eyes flashing with unprecedented tenderness. "Although I don't quite understand many of your actions, I still know very well what you are carrying."

As he spoke, Chen Yin walked in front of Chen Yue and pressed on him. "But I hope you can trust me more. There are some things you don't have to do yourself."

"Trust, I have always trusted you." Chen Yue's voice was low and firm, as if he was making a promise to himself and Chen Yin. "Sophia is away, so you will take over her assistant position during this period."

"Okay, I got it." Chen Yin nodded gently, with an imperceptible firmness mixed in with his gentleness.

"You go first. It might cause some trouble if you stay here all the time." Chen Yue said softly.

Chen Yin didn't say anything more, but just silently got up from Chen Yue's body and straightened his slightly messy collar.

"Chen Yue...what am I in your eyes...?" Chen Yin asked with a trembling voice, "Am I a useful weapon...or a chess piece that can be manipulated at will?"

“Hmm…” Chen Yue fell silent after hearing this, as if he had been hit on the point, and as if he didn’t know how to answer.

"Okay, I understand." Chen Yin didn't wait for Chen Yue's answer. The moment she turned around, a complex color flashed in her eyes, with both disappointment and relief. Chen Yue had been using her all along, but this also proved that she still had the right to be used and needed.

......

the next day.

As Chen Yue expected, Ying and Paimeng came to find him.

At first, the guards at the gate refused to let Ying enter the castle tower. After all, you can't just meet the Thunder God whenever you want, and who would be friends with the Thunder God?

"I'll say it one last time. I, the Traveler, and your Thunder God, Lord Wu Wang, know each other. We are very good friends."

Ying put her hands on her hips, frowned, and her eyes revealed an unquestionable determination. Paimon was anxiously circling around, trying to add some persuasiveness with her weak voice.

"But..." The guard was embarrassed, obviously suspicious of this traveler who claimed to be on good terms with the Thunder God. After all, in Inazuma, only those who could directly meet the Thunder God were of noble status or had a special mission.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, the sound of crisp footsteps broke the tense atmosphere.

Chen Yin walked out slowly from the inner court. Her appearance made the guards immediately bow respectfully. Chen Yin's eyes stayed on Ying and Paimeng for a moment, and then she smiled slightly, and there seemed to be some deep meaning hidden in that smile.

"Let them in, Lord Thundergod is waiting." Chen Yin's words were concise and powerful, making the guards look at each other in confusion, but they finally chose to obey.

Ying and Paimon looked at each other, with a hint of surprise and gratitude in their eyes, and hurriedly followed Chen Yin's pace. After passing through a series of complicated corridors, they came to Lei Shen's private reception room. Chen Yue was sitting at the table, playing with an exquisite mask in his hands, with deep and complicated eyes.

"Hey, traveler, Paimon, long time no see." Chen Yue's voice was gentle and low, as if it could soothe all the troubles. He put down the mask in his hand, stood up, and greeted the two visitors.

Seeing the mask, Ying's expression instantly turned very ugly, and she could no longer remain calm. "Where did that mask come from?" She was filled with confusion and shock, because the mask was so familiar. Wasn't it the mask worn by the mysterious masked man last night?

Chen Yue smiled slightly, with a sly look in his eyes, as if he had expected Ying to have such a reaction. "Oh? Are you interested in this mask? Let me tell you, it has an extraordinary origin." As he said this, he gently placed the mask on the table. The patterns on the mask flickered faintly under the light, as if it contained some mysterious power.

"Last night, I felt a powerful force that did not belong here approaching. As the god of this place, even if I am only the acting god, I have the responsibility to investigate what that force is."

"So, I went out to look for the source of that power. Soon, I found a mysterious man wearing this mask. And I happened to know that man. I could say he was an old acquaintance. He was the executive officer of the Kingdom of Winter, Alexei Morkonsky."

"Although I have a good relationship with him and I like him as a person, this is my territory after all, so I had a conflict with him. After a fight with him, I stole his mask."

Although he was the executive and what he said just now was all made up, for the sake of authenticity, Chen Yue didn't mind pretending to be himself.
