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

If the "young master" really invited Zhongli to a banquet for this matter...but why Zhongli? In terms of relationships, the relationship between the executive officers should be better. Even if they were celebrating, it would not be the turn of a guest official from the Wangsheng Hall to participate.

Unless, he was involved in the arrangement of that plan!

The more Ye Lan thought about it, the more doubts she had. Could it be that the plan to plot against Ningguang was thought up by Zhongli?

Was the attack on Guiliyuan the trap that this guest official prepared for Ningguang?

Wait, return to the original place...

Zhongli gained his current fame due to his extensive knowledge of both ancient and current events, and Guiliyuan happened to be the gathering place for the residents of Liyue. Zhongli must be very familiar with that place, no matter where to build a factory or where to set an ambush!

But if Zhongli could participate in this plan, then what would be his position in the eyes of the Fatui? Was he a partner of the Fatui, or a colleague who had secretly joined the Fatui?

Ye Lan thought to herself, no matter what his identity was, Zhongli was definitely not just a guest of the Wangsheng Hall.

"What are you thinking about? I finally get to come out for once, and you're still thinking about work?"

Rhine put his hands behind his head, seemingly not taking the Fatui's affairs to heart at all, and his words only expressed his dissatisfaction with Ye Lan's absent-mindedness.

Ye Lan came back to her senses and thanked Lai Yin: "Thank you, Lai Yin, your information is very important."

"Huh?" Rhine still looked confused.

Ye Lan regained her composure, with a hint of teasing and charm in her eyes: "Nothing, but how should I reward you for telling me such important news~"

Rhine was not affected by Ye Lan at all, and even looked down on her: "Although I don't know what you know, please don't speak to me in that sticky tone, or I will misunderstand."

But Ye Lan, who thought she had discovered the truth and was in a good mood, didn't care: "It doesn't matter if it's a misunderstanding~"

Ye Lan's shoulder was pressed against Lai Rhine's shoulder. She was chewing Jue Yun peppers in small bites, and her rosy lips were moving lightly, with a hint of seduction.

"I now suspect that eating too much spicy food will also make you let down your guard." Rhine looked at Ye Lan. She didn't look like a professional intelligence officer at all. She looked like an evil big sister who wanted to seduce an innocent little boy to do something bad.

"I'm very vigilant." Ye Lan retorted.

Rhine stopped discussing the matter and planned to leave: "That's it, I should go back soon."

His goal of making Ye Lan completely suspicious of Zhongli has been achieved. After this, although Zhongli may be stalked or harassed by the General Affairs Department, the Liyue side will probably pay less attention to Tartaglia.

"Do the Fatui keep a close eye on you?" Ye Lan couldn't help but ask.

Rhine shrugged: "Didn't I tell you? They don't dare to control me, but they dare to control him..."

Rhine did not continue speaking, implying that only the "heretics" in the entire Fatui could suppress him, so that Ye Lan would not have to worry about his safety.

"Then when can you come out next time?" Ye Lan asked.

Rhine looked up at the starry sky, as if thinking: "I'm not sure, but I heard from the "heretic" that after the Seven Stars Summoning Immortal Ceremony, he will no longer care about me. You said he is not my elder, why does he always interfere with me..."

Rhine's tone was like that of a young man complaining about his troublesome brother.

But Ye Lan keenly grasped another point: after the ceremony of inviting the immortal, Rhine was free.

Were the "heretics" willing to release Rhine at that time simply because they happened to plan to control Rhine for a period of time?

Or, at that point, the Fatui's actions in Liyue will definitely have a major breakthrough, ushering in the next stage, and then the "heretics" will have other actions and will have no time to restrain Rhine?

"Okay, let's just stop here." Rhine stopped.

"What?" Ye Lan's thoughts were interrupted by Rhine again and she looked at the surrounding environment.

It turned out that they had already reached the White Horse Inn, and it was time for Rhine to return to the Fatui.

"Well, goodbye." Ye Lan didn't say much.

"Ah."

Rhine turned around, put his wide sleeves behind his back, and walked away.

Ye Lan looked at Lai Yin's back, holding the Jueyun pepper string tightly in her hand, and thought to herself: "We finally get to see each other, why don't you seem to miss me at all?"

She looked at the bright red Jueyun pepper in her hand, and suddenly felt a strange impulse in her heart, and suddenly shouted: "Hey, Lai Yin!"

"Huh?" Rhine was a little surprised when he heard Ye Lan's call.

"Did you forget what to say?"

But he still turned around, wanting to see what Ye Lan was going to do.

A slender blue figure kept getting bigger in front of his eyes. Rhine's own figure was reflected in the woman's eyes as blue as lake water. Ye Lan was like a light blue butterfly, with her arms open, flying towards him with a wisp of refreshing fragrance.

"Ye Lan..."

Rhine felt the warmth and softness of Ye Lan's embrace. His cheeks were tickled by her smooth hair, and his nose was filled with the unique and refreshing fragrance.

"Why, after not seeing you for such a long time, you didn't show any other appreciation besides buying me food?"

Rhine couldn't see Ye Lan's face, but the familiar voice in his ears was extremely clear. Coupled with the current posture of the two, it seemed that what felt itchy was no longer the cheeks stuck with hair, but his heart.

Given their current relationship, the atmosphere was indeed a bit abnormal, but for some reason, Rhine opened his hands from behind his back and placed them on Ye Lan's slender waist.

"Just tell me what you want."

Ye Lan was somewhat disdainful: "Humph, what can you promise now? Let's talk about it after the Immortal Ceremony."

Before Rhine could feel the warmth in his arms, Ye Lan quickly took a step back and broke free from Rhine's arms.

She did not even pause for a moment, and turned around while backing away, not wanting Rhine to see her face: "That's it, let's go back, good night."

"That's it?" Rhine asked.

"What else do you want?" Ye Lan's tone was a little impatient, and she walked away with brisk steps.

Rhine looked at Ye Lan's back as she moved decisively, feeling a little regretful. The touch just now was really comfortable. If he had known that Ye Lan would finish so quickly, he should have used a little more force.

But Rhine didn't notice that the woman who seemed to leave easily had a hard-to-eradicate blush on her cheeks, which was even redder than the Jueyun pepper in her hand.

"Damn it, Ye Lan, why can't you hold on any longer..."

Ye Lan tried hard to calm her pounding heart. The reason why she left Rhine so quickly was not because she was free and easy, but because she was afraid that he would discover her panic-stricken mood.
