Genshin Impact: Can’t the executive just give up?

"Disappeared."

Rhine's voice was neither happy nor sad, and he didn't seem to care about Leonid's death.

Ningguang walked forward and looked at the blood on the ground: "I didn't expect them to be so direct."

She was still frightened.

Someone actually dared to sneak into the Qun Yu Pavilion and assassinate Qixing.

Liyue has been stable for a long time, and Ningguang has never had this experience before.

She turned her gaze to Lai Yin again: "If I hadn't invited Mr. Bai today, I really don't know where this ending would have gone."

Ningguang didn't expect that the enemy in the dark was so impatient. Not only did they attack her once during the day, they also sent assassins to kill her at night on the same day.

“However, if there is a chance, I hope Mr. Bai can stay alive so that I can interrogate him,” Ningguang added.

Rhine didn't care, "Okay, but that person disappeared after he died. It seems he came prepared. Even if I didn't kill him, he would have disappeared."

The special effects on Leonid naturally come from Rhine.

Under his control, the black cube became as big as dust, covering Leonid's tracks and teleporting him to another place.

In this way, even if Ningguang already strongly suspected that the Fatui were the murderer, it would be difficult to identify the real source due to the lack of sufficient features.

After all, the power of "heresy" always appears in the form of a black cube. As for the black fog, who knows where it comes from?

Inside the Baiju Inn.

Leonid was breathing heavily, his intact clothes were soaked with cold sweat, and his eyes were full of panic, as if he had not yet recovered from the scene of surviving the disaster.

"I'm alive?"

He opened his eyes wide and looked around.

This is one of the best guest rooms in Baiju Inn. There are famous paintings on the walls and celadon on the table. The ancient environment tells Leonid that this is still Liyue.

Leonid looked around and found a rose in a vase on the square table in the living room.

The rose looks very fresh, it must have been replaced today.

"Is this Lord Heretic's room?" Leonid came back to his senses.

He also knew about the stories circulating among the Fatui about the "heretic" and the "lady" exchanging flowers with each other, as well as some of their scandals.

At least Leonid thought it was a rumor and blocked the news, but among those bored colleagues, more than a dozen versions of the story of the two executives had been circulated in a small circle.

After a careful look, he found that next to the rose, there was a piece of paper with a line of words written on it: "Thank you for your hard work, go back and have a rest."

"Was it left by Lord Heretic?" Leonid picked up the paper.

The only one who could say such words to him at this time was Lord Heretic.

……

Ningguang sat in the lobby of the Qun Yu Pavilion, waiting for her subordinates to clean the room.

"Do you feel a little unlucky?" Looking at the thoughtful Ningguang, Rhine asked curiously.

After all, someone "died" in the room where you were sleeping, and blood was splattered on the floor. No matter who it was, they would feel uncomfortable.

"That's not the case, Mr. Bai." Ningguang explained to Rhine: "I'm just curious why the Fatui suddenly intensified their attacks on me."

Ningguang was puzzled. She had just found someone to help her, but she was assassinated. Why did the Fatui attack so frequently?

Could it be that she, the Tianquan Star, has long been a thorn in the eyes of the Fatui?

Rhine asked in a low voice: "Do you think that the attacks during the day and the assassinations at night were all done by the fools?"

"Yeah." Ningguang replied as a matter of course.

She didn't identify the Fatui, but at the moment, apart from those violent elements from Solstice, no one would have such a great hatred for her, and no one could send out so many relic hunters and excellent assassins.

“If it weren’t for me, the Bank of the North would have been able to develop smoothly in Liyue. This includes the various actions of the Fatui and the various trades of the merchants of Winterfell. It is because of me that many restrictions were imposed on them.” Ningguang explained to Rhine.

Then, she smiled faintly, her eyes full of coldness: "Since they gave me so many gifts, although they haven't caught enough evidence, if I don't double the gift in return, wouldn't it be impolite?"

A cold light flashed in Ningguang's bright red eyes: "The Fatui are still helping Liyue in the Stone Abyss, so why not start with business first..."

Ningguang will not swallow her anger. Since the Fatui want to harm her, she will naturally fight back.

First it was the Northland Bank, then the Fatui's activities in Liyue. She would send more people to investigate those Fatui and the executive officers. If they revealed anything, hmph...

As long as she wants, those Winter Solstice people will have a hard time in Liyue.

Rhine looked at Ningguang's thoughtful expression and remained silent.

What is certain is that Northland Bank will not have an easy time in the coming period.

"Lady Ningguang, the room has been cleaned, but do you really not need to change rooms?" Bai Xiao walked out of Ningguang's room and asked her.

After all, someone had just died in the room and there was blood. It was not comfortable no matter how you thought about it.

“No need.” Ningguang waved her hand slowly, indicating that it was okay.

Rhine watched the interaction between the two and found it somewhat amusing.

Those swords became illusory the moment they touched Leonid, leaving only their shapes but unable to hurt people. As for the blood, it was just a substance simulated by him using alchemy.

However, in order to simulate the smell of blood, he still put in some effort. At least he did not just simulate the color and shape, but also added some Liyue materials such as rust.

"Miss Ningguang, do you need me to accompany you closely?" Rhine said with a smile.

"Thank you for your kindness, but they have already attacked me twice today, and both times they failed because of Mr. Bai. I don't think they will appear again in the short term."

Ningguang declined Lai Yin's proposal. She didn't want a man to accompany her at night.

At the same time, Ningguang was somewhat skeptical. It was too coincidental that it was attacked right after it recruited Mr. Bai.

Thinking of this, Ningguang asked curiously: "Mr. Bai, can you take off your mask and let me see your face?

Of course, if Mr. Bai feels that this request is impolite, then…"

"Of course." Rhine agreed happily.

"However, I hope Miss Ningguang can take off my mask herself." He put forward his conditions.

"Well... since Mr. Bai doesn't mind, I can do it." Although Ningguang was wondering why Rhine was unwilling to take off the mask himself, she didn't think too much about it in the short term.

She walked up to Rhine, raised her hand and touched his face.

"Mr. Bai" had very delicate skin. Ningguang even felt that the touch of his skin was just as good as her own.

But when she put her hand on the silver-white mask, she suddenly found that the mask seemed to be grown on her face, and no matter how hard she tried, she could not take it off.

"Did you find out?" Rhine chuckled, but there was a hint of bitterness in his smile.

"This is my flaw as a 'human'. It's proof that I'm an alchemical creation, not a perfect human being. This mask has grown on my face and I can't take it off."
