Genshin Impact: Starting with Jingyuan Character Card

After taking a look at Topa who was silent in front of him, Tingyun put away the folding fan in his hand and continued speaking.

"I think you should understand what I mean, Miss Topa. If you can't give me a reasonable reason, then I won't introduce Qingque to you."

"I……"

Topa opened her mouth slightly, her inner hesitation was self-evident. After hesitating for a while, finally, our Miss Topa gritted her teeth.

"Ms. Tingyun, I can tell you my purpose, but I hope you can keep it a secret for me, okay?"

"Keep it a secret?... Well, as long as it doesn't violate human ethics, harm the heavens or harm the interests of the Immortal Boat Alliance, then I can keep it a secret for you."

"Well, thank you Miss Tingyun."

Topa gratefully held Tingyun's hand, and the latter did not show any resistance. After all, they were both girls in terms of biological gender, and such simple contact was not considered rude.

"Ms. Tingyun, please look."

Topa stretched out her right hand and gently took off the white silk glove that covered her entire palm. Suddenly, the girl's jade-smooth back of her hand was exposed to Tingyun's sight.

"This is……"

Looking at the mark on the back of Topa's hand, Tingyun's mouth opened slightly. She was very familiar with this purple-gold mark. In addition to Topa, Qingque also had such a mark on his body.

The only difference is that the former is engraved on the back of the hand, while the latter is engraved between the two shoulder blades on the back.

"The mark of [Cause and Effect]... I didn't expect Miss Toppa to also possess the power of [Cause and Effect]. Could it be... that you are also a fate walker of [Cause and Effect]?"

Tingyun asked tentatively, wanting to confirm the other party's identity and determine whether Topa was also a practitioner of [Cause and Effect].

However, to Tingyun's surprise, after hearing what he said, Topa's face first showed a hint of embarrassment, which then turned into bitterness.

"Ms. Tingyun, I also hope to be a destiny walker of the destiny of [Cause and Effect]. Unfortunately, the seal on the back of my hand is actually a consumable item..."

"Just like the 'foundation' of our 'Strategic Investment Department', this mark contains part of the power of [Cause and Effect]. With the help of the power of the mark, I can temporarily activate the authority of [Cause and Effect]. But once the energy inside is consumed, I know that the mark will also dissipate."

After hearing this, Tingyun had roughly understood Topa's purpose. Although our Jiedushi lady did not know where the mark on the back of Topa's hand came from, it was undeniable that the person who could bestow the mark of [Cause and Effect] must be at least at the level of a general.

According to what Topa just said, the power stored in the mark on the back of her hand is limited. So, if she wants to meet Qingque, it is very likely that she hopes that the other party can replenish the energy of the mark.

"Miss Toppa, I already know roughly why you are here, but..." Having said this, the girl paused slightly, and a cunning look flashed in her ruby-like eyes.

"Miss Tingyun, please feel free to speak."

Tingyun's expression did not escape Topa's eyes, including that fox-like cunning look.

However, Topa was not worried about this. On the contrary, when she saw Tingyun's fox-like smile, she felt relieved.

Only then did Topa feel relieved that he was planning to make a profit.

If Tingyun really does not seek anything in return and is wholeheartedly doing this for others, then Topa would feel uneasy. There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world, and the so-called 'self-sacrifice for others' is more likely to be a trap to lure prey into the trap.

"Ms. Toppa, I think you know that asking a Lingshi to help you, the price is not ordinary, are you sure?"

"As expected..." Topa's heart was filled with an expression of "as expected", but his facial expression remained unchanged.

"Miss Tingyun, please rest assured about this. I know the price of asking an envoy to take action, and I have already prepared for this."

Topa patted his chest, and a pair of huge fruits bounced several times, causing Tingyun on the opposite side to frown slightly.

"In that case, I will contact Qingque for you now."

----------

Luofu, No. 666 Wutong Street...

In the early morning, the sun had just risen, and the sunlight poured into the room through the window, illuminating the entire house. The golden light passed through the curtains and shone on the ground, forming patches of mottled light and shadow.

The discarded clothes scattered on the ground looked a little messy, but also had a unique beauty.

Under the warm sunshine, the soft big bed became a comfortable harbor. The two people slept in each other's arms, as if they were a part of each other's life.

"Ding-ling-ling! Ding-ling-ling! ..."

A shrill ringing sound suddenly broke the warm atmosphere. The sleeping girl frowned slightly, then sat up from the bed and put on a thin outer shirt.

"Wow... who is it? You're disturbing my sleep so early in the morning, ha~!"

The sleepy Qingque yawned, rubbed his sleepy eyes gently with one hand, and groped on the bedside table with the other hand until he touched something cold, then he stopped.

"Hello, who is this? Ha~!"

He dialed Yu Zhao in a daze, and Qingchun's lazy and sleepy voice was transmitted along with the signal and soon fell into the ears of Tingyun, Yu Zhao's other half.

"Qingque, why do you look so listless? Could it be that you...hehe~, I am so envious of you~"

Listening to Qingque's words, Tingyun also heard some other charm in the other party's voice. Perhaps it was out of the fox's instinct, so the girl couldn't help but tease her.

"Ah? It's Sister Tingyun. I'm fine. I'm just a little tired. Nothing happened as you imagined..."

After hearing that the person on the other side was Tingyun, Qingque's confused consciousness instantly became much clearer and he quickly denied it.

"Hmm? What are the things I am thinking about, Sister Qingque? Can you explain them to me?"

Qingque: "..."

"Hahaha, that's actually nothing. Sister Tingyun, the signal here seems to be a bit bad. I'll hang up first. Bye!"

Qingque smiled awkwardly, his face changed, and he wanted to hang up the phone.

"Wait, wait a moment!"

Seeing that Qingque really wanted to end the call, Tingyun, knowing that he might have gone too far, quickly spoke up to stop him.

"Sister Qingque, I really have something to talk to you about. Please wait a moment."
