Genshin Impact: Dance of Sinners

"Um...where are we going to eat?"

Lynette asked tentatively as she followed Link with a hood on.

"Wanmintang. Don't worry. The prices there are not expensive, but the taste is very good. The main focus is cost-effectiveness."

Wanmin Tang is usually served by Master Mao, but during the Chinese New Year, his daughter, Miss Xiangling, will also come to the hall to help.

Compared with the traditional "Licai" and "Yuecai" chefs in Liyue, Ms. Xiangling's eclectic techniques can often give people special tastes. She and Hutao are also quite good friends.

Link patiently slowed down his pace so that Linnette could follow him, "I have a friend who likes to eat the boiled blackback seabass from Wanmintang. I think it will suit your appetite."

"We haven't seen each other for three years. Now you also consider cost-effectiveness?"

"A penny is too much for a hero. I always consider the cost-effectiveness, right?"

Link glanced helplessly at Lynette beside him, "In your eyes, am I just a stupid person with a lot of money?"

"But...but, didn't you never look at the price when eating or buying things before? "Father" even scolded you several times because of this."

Lynette blinked her beautiful eyes in embarrassment, "But I don't think you are a fool."

"At that time, I had tens of billions in my account, so I wouldn't be too fussy about buying something worth tens of thousands, but if I really come across a treasure worth billions, I would still bargain hard."

Link smiled and reached out his hand, rubbing Linnet's little head again.

"I still remember that time, I asked you to treat me to dinner, but you girl was afraid that I would spend too much money, so you specially found a vegetarian noodle restaurant."

"What vegetarian noodle shop? I obviously added a poached egg for you, okay? Besides, didn't you finish it with relish in the end?"

"Okay, okay~ It's a very delicious vegetarian noodle restaurant."

………………

The two men hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they seemed to have endless topics to talk about. As they chatted and walked, they soon came to Wanmin Hall, which is located in Chihu Rock and is famous in Liyue Port.

Link took Linnette to a quiet corner and sat down, picking up the menu on the table.

In order to save money, Link seldom went out to eat in the past, but Hutao often found various reasons to entertain guests, taking Funina and Link to different restaurants to feast their eyes on each other.

There is an unwritten rule in time-honored restaurants like Liyue. You can order whatever is on the menu, but if you want to eat something that is not on the menu, you can also just ask the boss for it.

"Take a look first. What dishes do you like?" Link glanced at it first, and then handed the menu to Linnette.

"I'll just eat the boiled blackback bass you mentioned. Besides, I'm not picky about food, so you can just order it according to your own taste."

Linnette shook her head and sat obediently opposite Link, looking seriously at the man's face that changed after the disguise.

Link noticed Lynette's gaze and felt a little embarrassed. He raised his head and smiled, "Don't look at me. He's no longer a little girl. He's become an uncle."

"No! No, no! On the contrary, I think... you are more handsome than before!"

"Hahaha, thank you for your compliment. Funina always thinks I'm greasy at home, and I almost lose my confidence."

Link looked at the beautiful girl with bright eyes and white teeth in front of him and couldn't help but smile, "Linette, there is no need to call me Lord Link now."

"What's that called? Master Lin?"

"Be casual, just call me Alin."

"...Alin?"

Lynette touched the tip of her nose awkwardly, "If I called you that before, would you have been beaten?"

"What are you thinking about? Although I did things in a dark way at Fontaine, except for the time on Judgment Day, I have never taken action against one of my own, right?" Link waved his hand.

Although Link was an out-and-out villain in the past, he had never tricked one of his own.

Lynette was startled for a moment, then lowered her head and fell into silence.

"……sorry."

"what happened?"

"If... if it were me instead of Linny that day, I would help you draw the Ace of Hearts."

The tip of Linnette's nose was slightly sour. Linnette was not qualified to judge whether Linni's actions were right or wrong.

Everyone has their own beliefs. For Linny, the interests of the country are the absolute first priority, and there is no need to delve into the means of realizing interests.

Link smiled and said nothing, just stretched out his hand and gently touched the girl's head.

In three years, Link has long been indifferent to the issue of justice and evil.

Different positions determine the antagonistic relationship from the beginning. The contradictory disagreement is nothing more than that he did what he was supposed to do, and they did what they were supposed to do.

He and them have never been on the same path.

Now that they are divided into two paths, it is a relief for both parties.

Link once owned a magnificent building. Now that the building has collapsed, although he cannot continue to live in the luxury box on the top floor, he has the opportunity to dig out the treasures he neglected in the ruins and form a new small home.

The mind is bright, and there is a blue sky in the dark room.

...............

"By the way... Master Link, are you helping Yelan now?" Linnette asked tentatively.

"Well, Sister Lan is very kind to me. But I usually work as a guest in the Hall of Rebirth. Sister Lan will only call me when she is short of manpower."

Link didn't insist on what Linnette called him, and said with a smile.

"Then your current salary shouldn't be high, right? Is the mola enough? I have also saved some mola over the years and can lend it to you."

"It's good enough... You've made a fortune now. I heard from several colleagues that you are now the director of the Liyue branch of the Zhidong Embassy. This position is on the same level as mine back then."

"I'm lucky, I got some opportunities."

"You have suffered a lot, haven't you? Your brother is also very big-hearted, letting you, a little girl, go outside."

"I had a fight with him and ran out. He can't control me now."

"Huh?...No, your brother has his own difficulties. Besides, he treats you much better than I treat you."

Link was a little surprised, thinking that Linnette and Linny quarreled because Linny cheated on him in the first place.

"What are you thinking about?"

Linnette rolled her eyes at Link angrily, "I'm not a romantic person like Funina. I quarreled with him because he was too big of a brother and always treated me like a child."

"……so?"

"I don't want to be his shadow anymore. I want to come out and make a breakthrough." Linnette stretched out her little hand and looked at her palm.

"Lord Link, I also want to be like you, have enough power, and then do what I want to do."

"Linette, did something happen?"

Link couldn't help but feel a little confused. Seeing Linnette acting like this, she seemed to have encountered something special.
