In Genshin Impact: I accidentally ruined the Seven Gods

evening.

On the table.

Both elderly people had flushed faces due to the alcohol.

Grandpa Chongyun is alright, after all, he comes from a family of alchemists, and because of his cultivation when he was young, his physique is much stronger than that of ordinary people.

But Grandpa Xingqiu was just an ordinary person. If it weren't for the fact that Feiyun Chamber of Commerce was wealthy and provided him with a constant supply of supplements, he wouldn't be in such good health now.

After discovering that his grandfather was slightly tipsy, Xingqiu did not stop offering toasts; in fact, he became even more enthusiastic.

"Grandpa, come here, let me toast you."

As Xingqiu spoke, he filled his grandfather's wine cup again.

After a few drinks, Grandpa Xingqiu's consciousness became somewhat unclear.

He pulled Xingqiu and Chongyun aside and said earnestly:

"Xiao Qiu, Xiao Yun, His Majesty values ​​you so highly, which is an affirmation of your abilities! You must not let His Majesty down! The future of Liyue Harbor depends on you young people."

While instructing Xingqiu and Chongyun, Grandpa Xingqiu poured himself a cup of wine and gulped it down.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Xingqiu's expression changed, and he said with some helplessness:

“Grandpa, I also want to go out and fight for justice, and contribute to the peace and stability of Liyue Harbor, but... sigh.”

At this point, Xingqiu showed a rather helpless expression and didn't finish his sentence.

This greatly worried his grandfather, who immediately pressed him for an answer:

"But what? If you have any difficulties, tell Grandpa. When I was young, I built up a lot of connections. Whatever difficulties you have, Grandpa will help you solve them!"

Grandpa Chongyun, who was standing nearby, chimed in:

"Yes, Xiaoqiu, if there's anything, just tell your grandpa. Even though he's old now, he can still help you with many things."

Grandpa Chongyun wasn't drunk. He could tell that Xingqiu's expression was fake, which is why he didn't say that he had chosen to help.

If Xingqiu is having trouble because of official business, he will definitely help him out.

However, he could tell from Xingqiu's expression that this was clearly Xingqiu's private matter, so he couldn't interfere.

"Alright, since both of you grandfathers have said so, I'll get straight to the point."

Xingqiu looked at his grandfather and began to recount his "difficulties".

“Grandpa, as you know, although I come from a family of merchants, my ambitions lie elsewhere.”

Grandpa Xingqiu nodded in agreement. Xingqiu had mentioned these things to him before when he came to see him, but he felt that it was Xingqiu's own business and that he had not interfered.

"but."

Suddenly, Xingqiu took a turn for the better.

“Every time I go home, my father, who is your son, always says that I am not doing anything productive, and he also says that he does not want to see me continue like this.”

As he spoke, Xingqiu forcibly used water elements to make his eyes moist.

"If we really have to do as my father says and run the family business."

After a pause, Xingqiu composed himself and said in a slightly tearful voice:

"I have failed the people of Liyue Harbor, and even more so, I have failed His Majesty in nurturing me, Grandfather!"

"Be bold!"

After Xingqiu finished speaking, his grandfather slammed the wine cup he was holding onto the table. The loud noise startled Chongyun and his grandson, who were watching Xingqiu's performance from the opposite side.

"puff"

Grandpa Chongyun, who still had some wine in his mouth, was so startled that he spat it out.

Whether it was intentional or accidental, the drinks landed squarely on Grandpa Xingqiu's face.

However, Grandpa Xingqiu wasn't in the mood to care about the wine spilled on his face. He patted Xingqiu's head and solemnly assured him:

“If that kid talks nonsense like that again, come and tell me, and I promise I won’t break his legs.”

Xingqiu's elderly father, who was far away in Liyue Harbor, suddenly shivered for no apparent reason.

"Alas, but Grandpa, this only treats the symptoms, not the root cause."

Xingqiu feigned helplessness and sighed.

But then, as if suddenly remembering something, Xingqiu looked up at his grandfather.

"Grandpa, I have a good idea, but I don't know if I should tell you?"

"What are your thoughts? Tell Grandpa."

Grandpa Xingqiu waved his hand, signaling Xingqiu to speak his mind. Since he was already going to stand up for his grandson, he certainly had to listen to his grandson's thoughts.

"Grandpa, then I'll tell you."

Xingqiu took a deep breath to bolster his courage. He didn't know if his grandfather would skin him alive after he finished speaking.

"Grandpa, how about this? Since we're both in a good mood today, why don't we become sworn brothers right here?"

Xingqiu's words were startling, and both Chongyun and his grandson stared at him with wide eyes.

Before his grandfather could refute, Xingqiu explained:

“From now on, you will be my elder brother, and your son will be my son. That way, when I go out with Chongyun to clear out monsters in the future, he won’t be able to say anything to me.”

After saying that, Xingqiu looked at his grandfather nervously, afraid that his grandfather would reach out and slap him at any moment.

Under Xingqiu's tense gaze, he saw his grandfather slowly put down the wine cup he had just picked up again. He frowned as if he was thinking about something.

Just as Xingqiu was about to take back what he had just said, his grandfather spoke up at noon.

"it is good."

"Whoo~"

Although it was just a single word, Xingqiu still breathed a sigh of relief because the matter was settled.

It was all thanks to how enthusiastically he toasted his grandfather earlier. If his grandfather hadn't gotten drunk, Xingqiu reckoned he'd be in deep trouble today.

"Brother~"

"Second brother~"

The two, who were originally grandfather and grandson, now embraced each other like brothers, constantly addressing each other as brothers.

Xingqiu dealt with his "big brother," who was already drunk, with one hand, and made a gesture to Chongyun beside him with the other.

Seeing Xingqiu's gesture, Chongyun realized what was happening.

He quickly took out the camera that Xingqiu had used to take pictures before and filmed Xingqiu and his good "big brother" together.

This was something Xingqiu had instructed him to do in advance.

Before coming, Xingqiu had revealed his plan to Chongyun: if it succeeded, he would have Chongyun film the scene as evidence.

"Grandfathers, now that Xingqiu's matter has been resolved, we will take our leave."

After resolving Xingqiu's matter, Chongyun wanted to take him away. He was afraid that if they stayed any longer, something might happen to Xingqiu.

"Brother, I'm leaving now. Take care."

Before leaving, Xingqiu made sure to bid a solemn farewell to his "newly acquainted" good "elder brother".
