Ying heard this and exchanged a complicated look with Paimeng beside her. Paimeng's eyes widened, and she was obviously shocked by this sudden information. She flew around, as if trying to digest this information.

"Wait, Chen Yue, are you saying...you had a fight with that Zhidong executive last night?" There was both disbelief and a bit of nervousness in Ying's voice.

"Yes, although he and I are friends in Zhidong, and most of my information about Zhidong comes from him. But this is not a reason for him to come without saying hello last night. I only took his mask, which was already giving him face." Chen Yue said expressionlessly.

"What? Are you looking for me because of him?" Chen Yue raised his eyebrows, looked at the two people in front of him, and pretended to be puzzled.

Chen Yue did not lie, everything he said was true. Most of his information about the winter did come from Morkonski, but he did not say that he and Morkonski were actually the same person. As for the fight last night, Chen Yue smiled in his heart: That was a fight between himself and himself!

Given the known conditions, I am equal to Chen Yue and also equal to Morkonski, so giving myself two punches is equivalent to Chen Yue giving Chen Yue two punches, which is equivalent to Morkonski giving Murkonski two punches.

∵Chen Yue and Morkonsky are the same person

∴Chen Yue punched Morkonski twice

∴Chen Yue did fight with Morkonski last night and successfully took away his mask.

When Ying heard this, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes. She seemed to have noticed something strange in Chen Yue's words, but she didn't dare to jump to conclusion.

Paimon was so anxious that he was spinning around, flapping his little wings faster, as if he wanted to stir up the air to dispel this inexplicable confusion and tension.

"Chen Yue, are you sure what you said is true?" Ying's tone carried a subtle hint of probing, "Are you and that executive officer really friends?"

"We're more than just friends! We're buddies! I even know where he lives."

Chen Yue's answer sounded so easy and natural, as if everything was under his control, but Ying frowned slightly. She always felt that things were far from as simple as Chen Yue said.

After all, every executive of the Kingdom of Winter is synonymous with power and conspiracy. And Chen Yue, this seemingly casual travel companion who always demonstrates extraordinary abilities at critical moments, his identity and background are always shrouded in mystery.

"But why did he suddenly appear here?"

Afterwards, Ying recounted to Chen Yue every detail about how Morkonski invited her to join his organization last night and what happened because of her use of illusion.

After listening to this, Chen Yue showed some interest.

"I see. This guy Morkonski really doesn't play by the rules."

Chen Yue chuckled, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes. He deliberately ignored the fact that he and Morkonski were actually the same person, and analyzed this sudden invitation from the perspective of an outsider.

"He invited you to join because he saw your ability and potential. After all, there are very few travelers in this continent of Teyvat who can master multiple elemental powers."

Ying heard this, although she had some doubts in her heart, she also agreed with some of Chen Yue's views. She knew that she was special, but she also understood the responsibilities and risks behind this power. "But what is his purpose? Is it just to strengthen the strength of the organization?"

"The purpose is always complicated and changeable. But I think you can accept his invitation." Chen Yue smiled and nodded, with a hint of meaning in his tone, "But one thing is certain, Morkonski will not easily let go of anyone who may be beneficial to him.

"He invited you because you have some characteristics that attracted him, or it could be part of his plan. As for the illusion, I think he just took this opportunity to test your bottom line and reaction."

Paimon was confused, but her intuition told her that this matter was definitely not simple. "What should we do? We can't really join his organization, right? It sounds very dangerous!" Paimon flapped his wings anxiously, his eyes full of fear of the unknown.

Chen Yue smiled slightly, reached out his hand and gently patted Paimeng's head, comforting him: "Don't worry, I know him. He will never let down anyone who helps him, nor will he abandon any of his companions."

"Perhaps joining him is not a bad thing. On the contrary, having the identity of Fatui will make it much easier for you to get around in many places on the continent."

"But this is just my suggestion. The decision is still in your hands. I am just telling you the pros and cons. But I also want to remind you that the people who can make him come to your door to recruit personally usually have two extreme outcomes."

Ying stared into the distance, her mind wavering between the pros and cons. She knew that in this vast continent of Teyvat, every choice could be a turning point in her fate. Morkonski, as a high-ranking member of the Fatui, had a complex network of forces behind him that could provide them with shelter and resources, but could also drag them into a deeper vortex.

"Chen Yue, you know him, but is he trustworthy?" There was an imperceptible tremor in Ying's voice. She longed for a clear answer, but was afraid that the answer would make her even more confused.

Chen Yue was silent for a moment, his eyes deep. "Trust, the word is too strong. In a world where power and interests are intertwined, there is no absolute trust."

"But Morkonski is a man who values ​​his promises. Since he has invited you, it means he is willing to provide you with a certain amount of shelter and support. As for how much you can get from him and what price you have to pay, it depends on how you deal with him and how you use your wisdom and strength."

Paimon was so anxious that he was jumping up and down, but when he saw Ying and Chen Yue's serious expressions, he gradually calmed down and began to think about this complicated problem.

"Moreover," Chen Yue continued, "joining the Fatui does not mean that we have to give up our principles and beliefs. On the contrary, it may provide us with a broader stage, allowing us to more directly contact the truth of this world and even influence its direction."

"Of course, the premise of all this is that we must keep a clear head and always be vigilant against being swallowed by power and desire."

Ying took a deep breath, her eyes gradually firmed up. "I understand, I will not join the Fatui." At the last moment, she remembered the meaning of the journey.
