Genshin Impact, it's you who rejected me, why are you all in such a hurry if I just give up?

In her past life, she traveled across seven kingdoms to find her brother; this time, she is traveling across seven kingdoms to find her lover.

She really wanted to go to Liyue to find him right away, but she was too embarrassed to refuse Jean and Lisa's invitation.

On the one hand, once Lin Jiu'an leaves, it will be difficult to find him, and there's no use in being anxious;

On the other hand, it was, after all, a friend's request, and those people were the culprits who bullied Lin Jiu'an in Mondstadt in his previous life. Both morally and logically, Ying felt that she should help.

"I think we need to be more assertive."

"Just like Jiu'an did in the previous life, use high pressure and 'self-destruction' methods. No matter what they do, they must be severely punished..."

Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Several people turned their heads at the same time and saw a blonde girl standing in the doorway, leaning against the door and panting.

"Mia?"

"That's great."

Upon seeing that not only Qin, but also Lisa, the Knight of Honor, and the powerful Wave Knight were there, Mia, who was so exhausted she was about to faint, showed a relieved smile.

Then, Mia realized something, and an anxious look appeared on her face. She said urgently, "Commander Qin, everyone, hurry, to Fenghua Mansion..."

Chapter Twenty-Six: Eternal Protection of Mondstadt? Jean's Confusion

"Angel's Gift" is located in the outer city, while Feng Hua Mansion is in the inner city, near the church.

When Qin and Ying arrived at Fenghua Mansion.

They saw Nimf, the captain of the eighth squad, leading a number of knights, guarding outside, their expressions tense as they stared in the direction of Feng Hua Mansion.

There were also some sexy beauties dressed as bunny girls and in suits.

Upon seeing Qin and the others arrive, the knights who had been waiting there showed expressions of relief and made way for them.

"Nimf, how is the situation now?"

Where is Lin Jiu'an?

Nimf's expression had not yet provided an answer.

The sound of flesh being dragged across the ground echoed at the dark entrance of the Feng Hua Mansion.

There were also the sounds of unhurried footsteps.

Qin and the others held their breath. After a series of footsteps, a black-haired, black-eyed boy slowly walked out of the shadows of the corridor.

His body was stained with blood, and he wore a faint smile. What was most striking was the blood-stained knight's longsword in his right hand and the old man's unseeing corpse that he was dragging in his left hand.

Qin's pupils contracted slightly as she looked at the sword.

She recognized it; it was the sword of Richard, captain of the third squad of the Knights of Favonius.

"Bartle and Richard are both dead."

Nimf's deep voice came through, still carrying a lingering sense of terror.

"Only they came out."

Qin looked at Lin Jiu'an blankly.

'Snap!'

The old man's body lay on the ground.

As if to provide accompaniment, the enormous Fenghua Mansion in the background began to burn.

The firelight illuminated the sky, seemingly reflecting the lingering smoke from the great fire outside the city.

Looking at Lin Jiu'an's face, brightly illuminated by the flames, Qin felt utterly unfamiliar, and her throat went dry.

massacre.

This was a complete massacre.

Lin Jiu'an continued walking forward, while the knights who should have brought him to justice looked at him with nothing but fear in their eyes.

As he approached, they instinctively retreated as if rehearsed, until they cleared a path for him to the outside world.

"Can we follow you?"

Lin Jiu'an looked at the female croupier, and then at the female waitresses.

They all looked at him, and their previously somewhat numb eyes regained a glimmer of hope.

After a moment of silence, Lin Jiu'an walked up to Ying, took out a money pouch from his pocket, and placed it in Ying's hand.

"Could you please take them to Liyue?"

Although Lin Jiu'an found Liyue's model of governing the country through merchants utterly laughable.

And they firmly believed that they only needed to wait a few decades.

Even if we don't say that Ningguang's generation has passed away, as long as they grow old, or as long as the people of Liyue 'forget' Morax and forget the immortals, then Liyue will fall into darkness even more rapidly than Mondstadt.

Without a just and impartial leader to suppress them with absolute force, businessmen can exhibit a level of depravity beyond anyone's imagination.

However, as things stand, Liyue is undoubtedly the most livable city at present.

With the Thousand Rock Army guarding Liyue Harbor, the area is safe and secure, and the strong merchant culture means that as long as you are willing to work hard, you will never starve.

"It might not be enough, I'll give you more later."

Lin Jiu'an regretted not taking some money from the casino.

"Ah good."

Ying had many questions she wanted to ask and didn't want to leave him, but looking into his eyes, she couldn't bring herself to refuse.

"sorry to bother you."

Just as Lin Jiu'an finished explaining the situation to these poor people and was about to leave, a tall figure blocked his way.

Are you going to stop me?

Got no answer.

Lin Jiu'an lowered his gaze slightly, looking at her hand that was resting on the hilt of the sword at her waist.

Qin's arms were trembling slightly.

That's a situation a knight would never do.

Seeing the zither that the sword could not be pulled out no matter what, Lin Jiu'an walked past her and continued walking forward.

"why?"

Does killing a dog need a reason?

Hearing the trembling question behind him, Lin Jiu'an asked back, then suddenly laughed.

"If you insist on asking for a reason..."

"I guess it's because I just enjoy hearing their wails."

Lin Jiu'an's figure disappeared into the long street.

No one stopped him.

"Qin, they..."

Lisa walked over to Qin and told her about the origins and experiences of those poor women she had just learned about.

Listen to this.

Qin didn't know why she felt a sense of relief.

With renewed spirits, she looked at the pitiful women and asked softly, "If you are willing to stay, I swear by my sword and the wind that I will seek justice for you and make sure you have a good life from now on."

The women remained silent for a moment, and finally the aloof female dealer shook her head.

"Thank you for your kindness, we would like to go to Liyue."

Jean asked in confusion, "The journey to Liyue is long, and even with the protection of honorary knights, you will still encounter many dangers."

“Even if it’s far away, it’s better than staying here!” a woman couldn’t help but say.

The aloof female dealer glanced at her, signaling her to shut up, then bowed slightly to Qin: "I'm sorry."

"But we've worked here for so many years, and to be honest, we've seen many important figures from the church and the Knights of Faith come here. They all know our situation; some of our sisters have even died at their hands, so..."

The female dealer smiled and said, "The only person we can trust is Mr. Lin."

"Since he wants us to go to Liyue with this young lady, then we only want to go to Liyue with this young lady. Please understand."

Looking at the female dealer's smile, which seemed to indicate that she had let go of everything but still held a glimmer of hope, Qin was truly lost at this moment.

They would rather believe a 'executioner' who slaughtered hundreds of people in one night, and follow that person on a long journey to another country, than believe her or the Knights of Favonius.

Such is Mondstadt.

Such is the Knights of Favonius.

Is it really possible to save the situation by simply dealing with some capitalists?

Just when Qin was feeling lost.

A series of carriage sounds approached, and Qin looked in the direction of the sound, her body tensing slightly.

Those were luxurious carriages emblazoned with family crests.

One by one, the figures who seemed to handle everything with ease in Mondstadt disembarked from their carriages.

A beautiful woman who bore a striking resemblance to her stepped off the carriage bearing the crest of the Gunnhild family. She was none other than her mother, Frederica Gunnhild.

"Mother, why are you here?"

"Such a big thing has happened in the city. As the head of the Gunnhild family, how could I not come and see?"

Frederica asked, "How are things going now?"

Qin fell silent, but Nimf finally forced herself to say, "Commander Bartley and Commander Richard were both killed in action."

"No one inside the mansion at the time survived."

The crowd that rushed over was immediately in an uproar, and some of the women even burst into tears.

Frederica was silent for a moment, then asked, "What about the murderer?"

Nimf didn't know how to answer. She glanced at Qin, and only when she couldn't bear the gazes of Frederica and the other important figures did she finally bite the bullet and say, "Let's go."

"gone?!"

"What kind of work are you Knights of Favonius doing?!"

"Let a murderer swagger into Mondstadt and into our upper city."

"With such a slow reaction, not only did they let him carry out a massacre in a place like Fenghua Mansion, but they also let him get away?"

"We pay you so much tax every year, what are you even doing?!"

Frederic frowned deeply and looked at Jean sternly, saying, "Jean, what exactly happened?"

"Mother, there might be something wrong with this matter. The Fenghua Mansion and many of its guests may be involved in human trafficking, murder, and other illegal activities..."

"I'm asking you, where did the murderer go?!"

Seeing her mother's stern reprimand, Qin subconsciously shrank back.

From childhood, she was trained by her mother in the strictest way, which made her very afraid of her mother.

But soon, Qin suddenly realized something and looked at her mother in disbelief, asking, "Mother, could it be... that you already knew?"

Frederica said with exasperation, "Is this the time to be talking about these things?"

"No matter what they did, the Knights will take care of it. It's not something a commoner can do."

"Not to mention that he actually killed so many people, and you actually let him swagger away. What kind of person are you as the acting leader?"

"Bring him back to me right now, Qin, don't let me down!"

"I do not!"

Frederica was taken aback when she realized that Jean, who had always been obedient to her, would dare to speak to her like that.

"Yes, it was wrong of him to kill someone."

"But were any of the people he killed good people?"
