Genshin Impact: I am an ordinary executive

Chapter 263 Under the Mask

The filth dissipated, and sunlight poured into this originally dark place. Dots of green light seeped out from the purple-black tree roots, and the rotten branches that were originally dead were re-infused with life as the light emerged.

Green grass grows from the surface of the tree roots, and buds symbolizing new life emerge in this green scene. Purple leaves and pink petals also follow closely.

In just a few breaths, the originally stale underground world transformed into a place full of vitality. The "filth" that symbolized death and corruption also disappeared and scattered in this vibrant world.

After reciting the parting poem in the flowers, she stopped talking and quietly waited for the last time in her life that she would remember as "Fox Zhai Palace".

Paimon and Ying were also silent, quietly witnessing the ending of the miko named "Hanasari".

A minute passed, but the flowers did not disappear. Ying and Paimon still bowed their heads and remained silent.

Five minutes passed, and Hua Sanli was still where he was. Paimon couldn't help but look up and take a peek.

Ten minutes passed, and Hua Sanli still stood there with her head tilted and full of question marks. And Ying couldn't help but join Paimon's probing team.

Twenty minutes passed, and the three finally realized something was wrong and got together again to analyze the situation.

"Ying, could it be that you misunderstood? In fact, Hua Sanli will not disappear at all?"

Paimon first questioned Ying's guess. Although she had the same guess before, as long as she took action first, she would not be the one who was embarrassed.

"No, your guess is actually not wrong. According to normal procedures, I should really dissipate at this time... Is it because some place has not been cleansed?"

The person who responded to Paimon's question was not Ying, but the confused Hua Sanli. It stands to reason that after all the filth has been removed, I should also be removed at this time.

The first explanation she could think of was that there was some "dirt" somewhere that had not been cleaned up, which prevented her from being cleaned up along with it.

But now that the roots of the sacred cherry tree have returned to normal, it doesn't look like they haven't been cleaned no matter how you look at it?

And she did have the feeling that it was dissipating at the beginning... In fact, now she also has the feeling that it may dissipate at any time, but she miraculously maintained it like this.

So, is it really because of him?

A certain figure who had ravaged her wantonly flashed in her mind, and the flowers under the mask couldn't help but smile silently and bitterly. Sure enough, the things he did for him were not entirely out of interest... That's right, how could a person like that give up so easily?

"Hua Sanli, Hua Sanli, are you okay? Why don't you speak? Do you have any clues?"

After Ying Jian Hua Sanli finished speaking, she fell into deep thought and couldn't help but start to feel a little worried. After all, she didn't know if the filth would dissipate directly like the filth that transformed into monsters.

What if Hua Sanli uses a method similar to possession? Then the other party's appearance is probably a sign that the consciousness belonging to "Foxsai Palace" has dissipated.

"I'm fine. In fact, I have some guesses. This matter is probably related to Mr. Zuo Xi... You don't seem to be surprised at all."

Hua Sanli carefully stated her guess, expecting that the two people in front of her would be startled, or at least have an "incredible" expression.

Unexpectedly, after she mentioned this guess, the other two not only acquiesced directly, but also looked like "it's true". It was as if it was perfectly normal that this matter had to do with Zuo Xi.

"It's really not surprising at all. To be honest, when you, Miss Hua Sanli, talked to us about Zuo Xi before, I had a vague feeling that this matter might get out of control at some point."

Ying nodded and admitted it simply.

Zuo Xi asked her to hang out more in Daozhu, and he had been in contact with Hua Sanli before, and he also did some very strange actions... Rather than believing that he didn't leave anything behind, Ying would rather believe that Paimon could become Leader of the Knights of the West Wind.

"Is this like this?"

Hua Sanli was surprised by the other party's reaction and answer. It seemed that Mr. Zuo Xi was more active than she expected... As expected, such a person must not be together with Master Huzhai Palace.

"Well... in short, although there is no direct evidence at all, it is basically certain that Zuo Xi did this."

In the end, Paimon put the matter to rest. Although there is no evidence, let’s put the blame first. And based on experience, they have never wronged Zuo Xi.

"However, if I am not cleansed of my filthiness, this "Sacred Sakura Great Priest" will not be considered complete..."

Hua Sanli lowered her head. Because she was wearing a mask, she didn't know what her expression was now. But judging from her hesitant movements and previous firm farewell, it was clear what she was thinking.

"No, Hua Sanli, you can't let me do this kind of thing... kill the client or my friends with my own hands. This kind of thing is not within the scope of the commission, and I have the right to refuse."

Because it was easy to guess, Ying blocked Hua Sanli's words before she could speak.

She probably couldn't commit suicide for some reason, and wanted to ask him to remove her like other "filth". How could you possibly agree to such a thing?

"Yes, but..."

Are you guessing your thoughts? His figure and aura immediately shrank, and he was no longer as naughty as before. Due to her mission, she must complete the Great Sacrifice of the Divine Sakura, but it is indeed too cruel to allow travelers to kill her with their own hands.

What would Mr. Huzhai Palace do when encountering such a thing?

"You, don't worry. Based on our understanding of that guy, he must know your situation, so think about it carefully and imagine whether he left any hints or something?"

Paimon pinched his chin and made a thinking gesture. According to past experience, once that guy takes action, he will not only have this kind of hand. There must be a follow-up arrangement, but they haven't discovered it yet.

"When you put it like that, it seems like he really snatched my mask and played with it, um..."

Thinking of this, Hua Sanli always felt that if he had a face, he would be a little red at this time.

Because at that time, the other party not only played with her mask, but also played with the place underneath her mask that was supposed to be her "face"...

"Ahem, I didn't want to take off my mask... That's all, please be mentally prepared."

Taking a deep breath, Hua Sanli took off her mask after being mentally prepared.

I hope it doesn't scare them... After all, underneath the mask is not the beautiful face they expected, but black mud that represents "dirty".

"Getting ready? What preparations...huh? Wow!"
