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

Just when Qin was helpless, Ying and Paimon came over.

"Captain Qin, who was that person just now..." Ying asked curiously.

Qin was a little surprised to see the two of them: "It's you, why are you here?"

Pamon chuckled.

"Hey, after Ying and I finished our mission, we went to the Deer Hunter Restaurant for a big meal. When we came out, we saw you chatting with that person just now. Oh, who was that person just now? It seemed like you two weren't having a very pleasant conversation."

Qin couldn't help but sigh when she heard this.

"It's the envoy sent by the delegation to talk."

"A delegation? From Liyue?"

"It's not from Liyue, it's from the Kingdom of Winter, a country among the Seven Gods that worships the God of Ice." Qin explained.

"Huh? Is there still a delegation from Solstice in Mondstadt? I thought it was only Su Mo and his group." Paimon seemed a little surprised.

"Well, yes. Solitary Winter has set up a Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Mond, which is used to manage the diplomatic affairs between Solitary Winter and Mond. And their people are also called the Fatui - have you heard of them?" Jyn asked back.

"It seems not?" Paimon shook his head and continued: "But this is not important. What were you talking about just now?"

"What else could it be? The Wind Dragon." Jean said helplessly, "The Fatui believe the Knights can't protect Mondstadt. They hope the Knights will hand over Mondstadt's defenses to them. They say they'll kill the East Wind Dragon in exchange for peace in Mondstadt."

"Ah? Kill the East Wind Dragon? The Knights didn't really agree to them, did they?" Paimon asked in surprise.

"How is this possible? Mond should be protected by ourselves. After all, this is Mond's own business. How can we hand it over to others?" Qin said firmly.

"Then wouldn't it be better to just refuse directly?" Paimon asked doubtfully.

Qin explained somewhat helplessly.

"Regardless of the situation, Mondstadt and Solstice are both considered equals in status, but the Mondstadt dragon disaster caused panic among the people of Mondstadt, hindering its development. Solstice, for unknown reasons, has reversed its previous stance and begun exerting pressure on Mondstadt, to a point where it's difficult to ignore. Furthermore, I hear Solstice is even coveting the power of the Wind God's followers.

Mond could still handle any one of these things individually, but when all these things are added together, for Mond now…” Qin didn’t continue, but frowned even more.

"Don't we still have Su Mo and the others? They can also help Mond."

Qin was silent and said nothing.

Ying seemed to see what Qin was thinking and spoke.

"Captain Qin, are you worried that Liyue will stand idly by or take advantage of this situation?"

Qin smiled slightly when she heard this.

"The Knights are deeply grateful to Liyue for coming to Mondstadt's aid in this time of crisis. We also believe in the sincerity of our neighboring nation; they would never sever ties with us."

Paimeng quickly agreed: "Yes, Ying, I don't think Su Mo would do that."

Ying didn't say much about this, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Qin looked at the sky and saw that most of the afternoon had passed.

"Ying, Paimon. I still have some things to deal with. Do you have anything else to do? If not, please excuse me." Qin took the initiative to speak.

Ying smiled faintly: "Captain Qin, just go ahead and do your work. Paimon and I just need to go out for a while."

Qin said with concern after hearing this.

"Oh? Is it something urgent? If not, I suggest you don't run around. The situation outside Mondstadt is not optimistic right now. There might be a Hillichurl attack. How about I send someone to escort you?"

Ying shook her head: "Thank you for your concern, Captain Qin. We'll be back soon."

"Yes, yes, if we encounter danger, Ying will definitely be able to protect us well with her skills." Paimeng said confidently.

"Okay, then you guys just be careful," Qin warned.

"Uh-huh."

After the three separated.

"Ying, why did you say that just now? I think Su Mo is a good person."

Ying shook her head.

"Paimon, that's not what you're saying. We think Su Mo is quite good. Perhaps from Jyn's perspective, they used to trust the Solstice Mission, but now they've revealed their ugly claws to Mondstadt. And the situation in Mondstadt is getting pretty serious right now, so she might be worried that the Liyue Mission will become another Solstice Mission."

"I don't understand. I think asking for help is a very reasonable thing to do. Why is it so complicated when it comes to them?" Paimon was a little confused.

Ying explained, "You don't need to understand this. You just need to know that Jean is currently shouldering the fate of Mondstadt. In other words, she needs to carefully consider everything before doing anything. The slightest mistake could put Mondstadt in a passive position. That's why she's so cautious."

"I see." Paimon nodded, not quite understanding.

Ying nodded and continued, "Well. Rather than that, I think we should go find the remaining crystals quickly. Su Mo and the others are still waiting for us."

"Yes, yes, this is the important thing."

……

"I'm so tired... I finally collected all the tear crystals." Paimon said with a bit of despair.

Ying gently stroked the tear crystals in her hand, which sparkled with pure light under the setting sun. "Yes, after all the running around, we finally got everything done. I don't know if this is enough for Wendy."

Paimon rubbed his calf, looking a little distressed: "That should be enough, right? If not, I don't want to run anymore. It's been almost an afternoon, and my legs are almost broken."

Ying couldn't help but twitch her lips as she looked at Paimon's slender short legs. She didn't understand. This girl hadn't even touched the ground for such a long time. She really didn't understand why she was complaining about being tired.

However, it was almost afternoon, so this was correct.

However, it was indeed getting late. Ying looked up at the sky. The sun had slowly sunk behind the eastern mountain, and the glow of dusk filled the earth.

"Hey? Ying, look, she's so beautiful," Paimon said excitedly, pulling Ying's sleeve.

Ying followed Paimeng's gaze and saw a gorgeous sea of ​​flowers spreading out in front of her, which looked like a dream under the setting sun.

"I didn't expect there would be such a sea of ​​flowers in a place like this." Ying sighed softly.

"Yes, yes, Ying, this flower smells so good." Paimon jumped excitedly.

Ying took a deep breath, savoring the floral scent in the air, and praised, "Hmm, it's really good. Rich but not overpowering, fresh yet with a touch of allure."

"Yeah, I think so too." Paimon then asked. "Should we pick some and give them back to Wendy?"

"Why give it to him?" Ying was a little confused.

Paimon said with the tone of someone who had experienced it.

"People say that flowers can make people happy, which is very beneficial for recovery. Wendy is sick now, and we gave it to her, which may help her recover faster. This is also our thoughtful gesture."

Ying looked at Paimeng and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.

Don't you know that Wendy is pretending to be sick?

You even gave it to Wendy. I think you just wanted it.

Paimeng felt a little guilty when Ying looked at him.

"What, what's wrong?"

Ying said speechlessly: "Wendy is just pretending to be sick. I think he will jump out of bed if you give him this."

"Pretending to be sick?" Paimeng thought for a moment and said with some annoyance.

"Never mind, Ying, I like these flowers and I want to stay for a while before going back. You wait, I'll pick some." Paimon said and flew towards the flowers.

Ying watched Paimon dancing happily among the flowers, and her heart softened. She picked up a petal that had fallen on the ground and stroked it gently, wondering what she was thinking.
