Genshin Impact: What? The one we need to save is Fukaros
Chapter 213 Tea and Coffee
Mount Ao Zang, on the top platform.
Kong tells Xianyun, who is in the form of a white crane, in detail about the assassination of the Emperor.
Xianyun snorted angrily, "How dare someone...assassinate the Emperor! Now that the evildoers are in power, why don't I...suppress Liyue Harbor first, and then wait for the other immortals to arrive..."
"Suppress Liyue Harbor?" Paimeng asked in horror, "You don't want to destroy the entire Liyue Harbor?"
Xianyun looked calm and explained casually, "It's just some thunderous means. Of course, it's not to destroy Liyue Harbor."
Then, she urged in an urgent tone: "Okay, I will personally investigate the matter of the Emperor's assassination.
You two, leave quickly and don't bother me anymore!"
After hearing this, Kong and Paimon had to leave first to find the next immortal and explain the situation.
After they left, Xianyun quickly returned to his human form and let out a long breath, "Fortunately I didn't appear in human form. I was a little nervous just now and almost said the wrong line."
Just at this moment, a slim girl slowly floated down from the sky like a light feather and stood gracefully in front of Xianyun.
Her face was cool and beautiful, and her ice-blue eyes were as deep as a cold pond, revealing an ethereal temperament that was otherworldly, like a fairy who was not affected by the mundane world.
"Master," the girl called softly, her voice clear and cold.
Although she had never seen Xianyun in human form, she recognized at a glance the woman in red-framed glasses in front of her. She was her master Xianyun who raised her.
Xianyun's eyes flashed with surprise, "Shen He, you have never seen me like this, how come you can recognize me at first sight?"
Shen He replied as a matter of course: "We have been together day and night for so many years, no matter what you look like, I can recognize you."
Xianyun looked at Shenhe and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
She said softly, "Shen He, in a few days I will be heading to Liyue Harbor to serve as the director of the Imperial Observatory and supervise all the affairs of Liyue. I hope you can come with me."
After a brief thought, Shen He said calmly: "Master, I prefer this peaceful life away from troubles."
Xianyun expressed his opinion firmly: "Shenhe, you must go to live in Liyue Harbor. Living in seclusion here for a long time will gradually make your emotions indifferent, and you may eventually become as cold and ruthless as stone."
Shen He heard this and nodded silently, expressing his obedience: "I understand, Master. Since you have made the decision, I will obey it."

In the afternoon of Liyue City, the sunlight shines through the half-closed curtains, casting patches of light on the wooden floor of Dove Café.
Lin Yide sat in front of the counter, his eyes focused and sharp, holding an exquisite pen in his hand, and was carefully reviewing a pile of documents submitted by the Western Factory.
The contents of these documents are very important and require his personal signature.
Dealing with these documents is not an easy task. He needs to think hard from time to time, weigh the pros and cons, and then carefully write down his opinions.
Just then, the door of the coffee shop was gently pushed open, and the sound of crisp wind chimes rang out.
Lin Yide looked up and saw Ningguang appear at the door. She was wearing a gorgeous cheongsam and walked with an elegant and calm gait.
Ningguang slowly walked in front of him and the first words she said were, "Boss Yide, you win."
Lin Yide did not show a triumphant smile, he just responded lightly, "Oh."
It seemed as if this victory was just a trivial matter to him.
Ningguang said in a deep voice: "Master Yide, let's negotiate. As long as the conditions of the West Factory are not excessive, I can accept them."
But Lin Yide was not swayed by her proposal. He rejected the request for peace talks and said, "Now is not the time for peace talks."
Ningguang knew that as Liyue’s food supply became increasingly scarce, her situation would become increasingly difficult.
What’s more serious is that once the scandal of the Seven Stars selling off their grain reserves for their own benefit and even burning down granaries is exposed, the entire Liyue will fall into chaos.
Ningguang adjusted her words and expressed her wishes in a more sincere manner, "I will seriously consider any conditions proposed by the West Factory and try my best to accept them within my ability."
Lin Yide's attitude remained firm as ever. He reiterated his position, "I have already said that now is not the best time for peace talks."
Ningguang felt a surge of humiliation in her heart, but she could only suppress it and asked helplessly: "Then, when can we negotiate peace?"
Lin Yide replied calmly: "After the incident of the Emperor's assassination has subsided."
He then added: "Please rest assured that during this period, I will sell food to the people at low prices to stabilize their hearts."
After hearing this, Ningguang no longer worried about the peace talks. She changed the subject and asked, "Yide, do you really think that businessmen are not suitable for governing a country? They actually know how to balance the interests of all parties better."
Lin Yide couldn't help laughing when he heard this question.
Ningguang frowned in dissatisfaction, looked at him and said: "This doesn't seem funny."
Lin Yide explained with a smile: “It is a joke that businessmen govern the country because their nature is to pursue profit.
In the face of the temptation of interests, they will gradually give up the principles they uphold. "
Ningguang immediately retorted, “But throughout the hundreds of years of Liyue’s history, the Seven Stars have always adhered to their principles.”
Lin Yide said with a somewhat mocking tone: "That's because of the existence of gods. When gods are far away, most people will immediately give up their principles."
Ningguang remained silent and did not argue any further.
Because it is indeed true. If the emperor had not fallen, Kaiyang and others would never dare to burn the warehouse.
At this time, Lin Yide suddenly asked: "Ningguang, do you want to drink something? Tea or coffee?"
Ningguang was stunned for a moment, then she understood the implication in his words. Between wealth and power, she could only choose one.
However, it is difficult for her to give up both.
She stared at Lin Yide and asked, "You are the owner, which one do you think I should order?"
Lin Yide smiled slightly, "Personally, I prefer tea tasting. Tea has a subtle fragrance, and the truth is revealed in its simplicity, which can make people feel peaceful.
But most of the time, I choose to drink coffee because I often work late at night and need it to wake me up.
If you ask me for a recommendation, I would say drink coffee.”
