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

Page 23

Frederica stared at Jean in shock.

"Qin, do you even know what you're saying?!"

"I'm sorry, Mother."

Qin didn't even know what she was saying anymore.

She knew she was being unreasonable.

Regardless of whether Lin Jiu'an killed good or bad people, murder is a crime, not to mention killing hundreds of people at once, including many knights of the Knights Order. Lin Jiu'an must be brought to justice no matter what.

But she didn't want to arrest Lin Jiu'an.

I don't want to fight him.

and.

Her ideal, what she has always wanted to do, is the ancestral precept of her Gunnhild family...

"Forever protect Mondstadt!"

Is protecting those damned scumbags and bringing Lin Jiu'an to justice really in line with her ideal of eternally protecting Mondstadt?

Thinking about what those poor women had said before, Qin was completely lost.

Is Mondstadt really worth protecting now?

“I’ve never disobeyed you since I was a child, but this time, I can’t do it.”

Qin took the sword, still in its scabbard, from her waist and handed it to her mother.

"If you insist that I bring him to justice."

"I'd rather not be the acting head of the delegation."

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Arrest

The scene was deathly silent; even the nobles remained silent.

They looked at the Gunnhild family mother and daughter with eyes that held expressions of anger, confusion, or strangeness.

Frederica was almost driven mad by Jean.

Do you know how much effort the Gunnhild family went to get you into the position of acting head of the guild?

But after Jean said those words, the question was no longer whether she could continue to be the acting leader, but whether the Gunnhild family could inadvertently become the target of public criticism.

'Snapped! '

Frederica slapped Jean across the face.

"How could I have given birth to two useless trash like you?!"

Frederica said hatefully.

A mind that firmly believes in chivalry has gone mad.

The other one, needless to say, was completely hopeless because of her father's influence.

Qin remained silent. The clash between her ideals and reality left her mind in a whirl, unsure of what she should do.

Frederica never looked at her daughter, who had disappointed her, again.

He coldly ordered, "Immediately, impose martial law throughout the city."

"We must catch that culprit. I want to put him on trial in front of the entire city."

"Let others know the consequences of offending Mondstadt!"

······

"What should we do now?"

Looking at the empty streets, Yura felt a little irritated.

Ying went to take those poor women to Liyue, while Jean was captured by Frederica and taken home to be confined.

Mondstadt is now under martial law, with a manhunt for Lin Jiu'an.

No matter how you look at it, with only two of them left, there's absolutely no way they could find Lin Jiu'an faster than the Knights of Favonius. And judging from the way Lin Jiu'an left, he didn't seem like he was trying to escape Mondstadt.

Do you know where he went?

“The question now isn’t where he went, but what you want him to do?” Lisa asked.

Without hesitation, Yura replied, "Of course, we should advise him to leave Mondstadt as soon as possible."

"If you encounter the Knights of Favonius when you leave Mondstadt, would you be willing to fight them for him?"

Lisa paused, then added, "Or rather, are you willing to truly become a sinner of Mondstadt?"

Yura felt a little uncomfortable, but also so angry she wanted to laugh.

"The sinner of Mondstadt"?

In the eyes of most people in Mondstadt, she was already a sinner of Mondstadt, but perhaps only at this moment could she truly do something befitting her 'identity'.

So what if I become a sinner?

Yura was truly fed up with this awful place, Mondstadt.

Why did she leave her family?

It's because they've had enough of the darkness within their family.

But now she realizes that Mondstadt's darkness is even greater than that of the Lawrence family, and that all her 'sins' were actually woven by these disgusting parasites.

"At worst, I'll just leave Mongolia..."

As she was talking, Yura suddenly fell silent.

"Do you want to come to Liyue with me?"

past life.

The words Lin Jiu'an said the last time she saw him suddenly came to mind.

That was thanks to their efforts at that time.

Her reputation and that of the Lawrence family finally began to improve in Mondstadt.

But for some reason, Lin Jiu'an's reputation in Mondstadt plummeted. She went from being the hero who saved Mondstadt from the clutches of Stormterror to a "street rat" that was even more miserable than before.

Having just shaken off the stigma of being a 'sinner,' he naturally didn't want to leave Mondstadt.

They invited Lin Jiu'an to stay.

In her view, since they could succeed once, they could succeed a second time. Lin Jiu'an hadn't done anything wrong. As long as time proved, the people of Mondstadt would eventually realize what he had done and accept him again.

Subsequently.

Faced with Lin Jiu'an's insistence on leaving Mondstadt, they had their first and last real argument.

Yura never felt that she had done anything wrong.

But at that moment, she suddenly felt a tightness in her chest.

Did he already know about these dark things?

But why didn't he tell her when they were together in their past life? Why did she never know these things?

Yura suddenly realized.

In their past life, it seemed that she always appeared as the 'hero' in their collaboration. Lin Jiu'an intentionally gave her all the credit and all the tasks that people could notice, while he himself went deeper and deeper into the darkness.

But she remained immersed in the joy of her improved public image and the fact that the people of Mondstadt had finally accepted her...

and so.

The reason why Lin Jiu'an ended up in that state in Mondstadt in his previous life was because...

The culprit was actually myself?

"What's wrong?" Lisa asked with concern when she noticed Yura's unusual expression.

Yura shook her head, remained silent for a moment, and then continued, "So what should we do?"

"Split up."

Lisa said, "Go and ask Diluc for information."

"I will return to the Knights and act with them."

"If you find him through Diluc first, try to sneak him away; if I and the Knight find him, we will definitely make a move, and it will be quite a big commotion, so come to our aid as soon as possible."

······

"Angel's Gift" Tavern.

When Yura arrived at the tavern, she was surprised to find a figure she knew all too well sitting at the bar drinking.

"Why are you drinking here?!"

Yura was furious.

She and Lisa searched the whole city for him, afraid that if they found him too late, he would be captured by the Knights of Favonius. But he was here drinking.

"Do you know that the Knights are searching for you all over the city?"

"What you did at the Feng Hua Guild Hall has already offended all of Mondstadt's upper echelons!"

"Want a drink?"

Yura was taken aback. After thinking about it carefully, she realized that she did have a lot to say to him and a lot of questions to ask him.

"Ah, I want..."

"No! Now is not the time to drink."

"Give her a glass of wine, on the rocks."

Wine wasn't her favorite drink, but it was his.

Among the many types of cocktails, Lin Jiu'an only likes newly brewed sweet wine.

Seeing that Lin Jiu'an showed no sign of leaving, and then glancing at the wine on the table with ice, Yura sighed, sat down, and started drinking as well.

That's it.

At worst, we can just fight the Knights of Favonius.

The two men sat at the bar, drinking one glass after another. Before they knew it, the once bustling tavern had become empty, until the door was pushed open with a 'bang,' and several knights walked in warily.

"Lin Jiu'an, you've been arrested. I advise you to give up..."

The knight hadn't finished speaking.

They saw Lin Jiu'an calmly tilt his head back and finish the wine in his glass, then turn around and walk towards them.

The knights at the door took a few steps back in fear.

Lin Jiu'an stood where they had just stood, and said with some amusement, "Weren't you here to arrest me?"

He held out his hand.

"Come on, grab me."

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Trial

Looking at Lin Jiu'an, who had stretched out his hands as if he were about to be captured.

The knights looked at each other, but none of them dared to go up and grab him.

Just kidding, he killed both captains. These guys were just a 'suicide squad' testing the waters to see if there were any ambushes.

In the end, it was Nymph at the door who gritted her teeth and went forward to handcuff Lin Jiu'an.

But when he saw Lin Jiu'an, he really didn't resist.

These knights, along with Lisa who came with the knights and Yura in the tavern, could no longer hold back.

No, you should at least put up some resistance!

Seeing Yura's questioning gaze, Lisa really didn't know what to do.

If you resist a little and show that you don't want to be captured, Yura and I will rescue you.

With the way you're rushing into prison, should Yura and I take action or not?
