Genshin Impact: My confession was rejected, so I traveled to seven countries

In the head's office

Qin looked at the government affairs on the table with some annoyance. It could be said that her mood had been extremely bad recently.

The Liyue delegation arrived, only to be attacked by a giant dragon upon arrival. This unfortunate encounter was a truly detrimental outcome for Mondstadt's image. Ever since the Dragon Sin, Mondstadt has been plagued by undercurrents. Not only was there external intrusion from the Dragon Sin, but even the internal meddling by the old nobles was causing Jyn some annoyance.

These old nobles have existed in Mondstadt for millennia, and their accumulated wealth is formidable. Dissatisfied with the Wind God, they frequently protest the Knights' decisions. The recent dragon disaster has only strengthened their resolve to resist the Order. At the slightest sign of trouble, they eagerly seek to provoke the Order.

And soon, the investigation results came out.

A Knights soldier reported back.

It was the Lawrence family who were spreading the rumor that the Wind God would favor Tevarin and ignore the people of Mondstadt.

Qin didn't say anything after hearing this report. A hint of "as expected" flashed across her eyes. Then she asked the knight to retreat.

Thinking about Mondstadt's recent situation and the diplomatic affairs of neighboring countries, Jyn couldn't help but sigh and leaned back in her chair, missing the days when the Grand Master was around.

At that time, she didn't have to work so hard and just had to do her job well. But since the Grand Commander took his men on the expedition, all matters fell on her as the acting commander. However, she was really powerless to do anything about the dragon disaster in Mondstadt.

Ah, another day when I want to give up...

As there was a knock on the door, Qin immediately sat up straight and then spoke calmly.

"Please come in."

The door slowly opened, and a graceful woman walked in. She wore a conspicuous purple witch hat, and the straps on her chest seemed a little tight. She looked at Qin sitting on the chair with a smile in her eyes.

Qin looked up and saw that it was Lisa.

Lisa closed the door gently and said teasingly with a smile in her eyes.

"Hey, isn't this Captain Qin? He's busy."

Qin couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Lisa, stop teasing me. I've been so anxious lately." After saying that, Qin returned to her previous laziness and leaned back in the chair.

Lisa smiled and said, "What's wrong? Is our leader Qin feeling a little overwhelmed at work?"

Qin felt helpless and ignored Lisa's joke.

"How's the investigation going?"

Jean didn't respond to Lisa's joke, but asked seriously.

"How's the investigation going?"

Lisa's expression turned serious when she heard Qin's question.

“It’s a bad situation, but it’s really interesting.”

Ok?

Qin couldn't help but feel confused when she heard Lisa's answer which seemed to be talking to herself.

"How to say?"

"You asked me to investigate the clues of the rumors before, so Kaeya and I went to all the temples guarded by the four winds. But all the signs indicate that the dragon that attacked Mond was the original guardian of the east wind. Even we don't know this, but a bard knows it. Don't you think it's interesting?" Lisa looked at Qin with interest.

Qin was thoughtful after listening to it.

"It is indeed unusual. But I have also met the bard in person. He said that he saw this incident in a book, and he even handed the book over to the Knights." As she spoke, Qin took out a book without a cover from the drawer next to her.

Calling it a book would be a bit of an exaggeration, as it only had a few thin pages. However, the content was rich, recording the story of how the God of Wind and the Dragon of the East Wind met, how they fought side by side, and how they were corrupted.

After reading the contents, Lisa couldn't help but frown.

"This bard is not simple."

"What's wrong?" Qin was a little confused.

"The records in the book are almost completely consistent with the conclusions I inferred based on the clues."

"What? Almost identical?"

Qin looked at Lisa in disbelief.

Lisa nodded seriously.

Seeing Lisa's affirmation, Qin's mind was full of thoughts.

"If this is true, then who is that bard? What's his purpose in doing this? Is he trying to make the people of Mond hate the Dragon of the East Wind? So that he can better achieve his goal of eliminating the Guardians of Mond's Four Winds?"

After hearing Qin's doubts, Lisa couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Mondstadt's original four wind guardians were now defunct in name only. With the exception of the East Wind Dragon, the other three guardians had also vanished for various reasons. If the enemy truly intended to completely eliminate Mondstadt's influence, then the East Wind Dragon was their primary target.

But what about the bard?

Lisa asked immediately.

"Qin, where's the bard?"

Qin felt helpless.

"He's been released. He said he saw this in a book and thought it was quite interesting. He was short of money, so he told this story under the statue."

"Although he is suspected of spreading rumors, the Knights have no substantial evidence. If we forcibly detain him, it will not be good for the reputation of the Knights, so we have no choice but to release him."

Lisa shrugged when she heard that.

"That really suits your style."

Qin felt helpless.

"We can't force him to stay. Besides, Mond is in a critical period right now, and this would make it easy for someone to find fault with him."

Lisa pondered the rationale behind Jean's words for a moment.

Indeed, even if they forced the bard to stay, it would have a negative impact on the Knights Templar. It would be better to let him go to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"Anything else?"

"If not, you can go ahead and do your work. I still have a lot of documents to deal with." Qin politely ordered him to leave.

After hearing this, Lisa looked at Qin with a strange expression.

"Qin, are you too tired?"

Qin was also a little confused.

"What's wrong? I feel fine."

Lisa was a little confused.

"Have you forgotten that you still have to go visit the disaster victims with the Liyue representatives later?"

Qin stood up from her chair suddenly.

"What!? There's such a thing? How come I didn't know about it?"

Lisa shook her head helplessly.

"Where's your notebook?"

Qin was a little confused, but she subconsciously took out her own notebook for recording her work from the drawer.

"Turn to page 136..."

Qin turned to that page as Lisa instructed and quickly found the relevant itinerary in the notebook.

Looking at the records in the notebook, Qin felt a little helpless.

Is it really because I'm too tired? I even forgot the plans I wrote down.

Qin thought to herself.

As the acting group leader, she has too many things to deal with every day. Sometimes she suddenly has a flash of inspiration. In order to prevent herself from forgetting, she usually arranges her itinerary and things to do in her notebook a few days in advance to prevent herself from forgetting.

But the sudden arrival of the dragon disaster disrupted her plans. She had been so busy these past few days trying to appease the people and deal with the aftermath of the disaster that she had completely forgotten about these things.

Then Qin looked at Lisa strangely.

"How did you know that? Did you peek into my notebook?"

Lisa couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Well, I reminded you and I became a peeping rat. Qin, have you forgotten that we discussed this matter together at the beginning, and then you wrote it down in the notebook." Her tone was full of helplessness.

Qin smiled awkwardly.

"Really? I forgot."

Lisa looked at Jean with concern, a hint of worry in her tone.

"Qin, I think you've been a little too tired lately. Your memory wasn't this bad before. I think you should relax for a while.

Qin didn't say anything, but just quietly organized her documents.

After Lisa left, Qin looked at the pile of documents in front of her, feeling somewhat discouraged. She calculated the time and realized there was still some time before the visit, so she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

An idea emerged in her mind.

How about just relax?

After some thought

Qin silently took out a book she had treasured for a long time from the drawer and slowly flipped through it.

As she read deeper, a smile flashed in her eyes from time to time.
