Honkai Impact 3rd, but I have too many mods.

Toppa looked at Tingyun with a hint of sympathy in his eyes.

—Although Tingyun himself was speechless.

"I think... this is just the atmosphere of the Ten Kings' Division, no, it's just the work atmosphere of the crows."

Stop joking around. Although Tianbo Company has a lot of work to do, if they're this lifeless, we can forget about doing business!

"But speaking of which, Lord Raven was really strange today."

A hint of doubt appeared in Tingyun's eyes.

"I'll go check on Lord Raven!"

Qingque immediately raised her hand.

then……

Jade's smile, tinged with murderous intent, made Qingque shrink back.

"Then I'll leave it to Miss Tingyun. Since we're all together, we should help each other out."

"Understood, I will do my best."

Tingyun smiled and nodded, then stood up as well.

Qingque stood to the side, looking on with envy.

This is a rare opportunity to slack off, even better than "going to the toilet"... How can I resist!

Emerald looked at Azure Sparrow and curled the corners of her lips slightly.

Qingque is also a high-quality ox or horse, only a bit "wild and untamed".

Fortunately, she is very good at this.

“…Miss Tingyun, please take me away.”

Qingque felt as if she had a thorn in her side.

……

After leaving the house, Han Ya was completely lost.

I definitely can't go see my sister.

Well... it seems like the only option is to go find Liu Bai.

The crow's social network here is small: Liu Bai, Xueyi, Qingque, Tingyun, and Feixiao.

There are only a few people I can talk to, and even fewer I can call friends.

"Perfect timing, I can continue talking to Lord Liu Bai about my sister's matter... I hope Lord Liu Bai is alright now."

The crow walked towards Liu Bai's room.

"Lord Raven, please wait for me."

Tingyun quickly caught up from behind.

Han Ya looked at Ting Yun, his face expressionless.

However, Tingyun naturally regarded it as a question.

"If you have any troubles, I might be able to help."

"..."

The chief representative of the Tianbo Company's "Minghuo" merchant guild...

It seems... trustworthy.

After a brief moment of deliberation, the crow signaled to Tingyun to follow.

……

"Have they already set off...? Well, you'll have to rely on your judgment to act outside. I trust you in that regard."

When Han Ya came in, Liu Bai had just ended his call.

This is the content...

This so-called trust is probably just polite talk, isn't it?

Tingyun silently complained to herself.

Although Tingyun and Huanlong hadn't had much interaction, Tingyun was indeed very afraid of Huanlong.

No, it should be said that most people are afraid of Huanlong.

As messengers, even though Huang Quan and Fei Xiao both exuded the aura of powerful figures, their presence was very restrained.

However, Huanlong... even though she is not a martial arts practitioner, she will not deliberately restrain herself outside of carrying out her plans.

Most ordinary people, when faced with a dreamlike vision, will subconsciously feel like "a lone boat in a storm."

—Although there aren’t many ordinary people on Liu Bai’s side.

Only Tingyun and Gui Naifen can be assigned to this ecosystem.

"Are you two okay?"

Liu Bai's question interrupted Tingyun's inner monologue.

"..."

For a moment, the crow didn't know what to say.

The two solutions Alicia gave her, simply put, were:

First, Liu Bai completely overwhelms her older sister in the fencing tournament, making her realize that she is a "female".

Second, she arranged for herself to fall in love with Liu Bai, forcing her sister, who was in love with both of them, to give up on her own initiative.

But... how do we determine which of these two methods is better?

"...Lord Liu Bai, how about we pretend to be in love?"

Snapped!

Just as Tingyun was about to serve tea to ease the tension, her hand trembled, and she broke the cup she had just taken out.

"I have lost my composure..."

Tingyun apologized repeatedly.

(Is this really something a woman like me should listen to?!)

"……reason?"

At that moment, Liu Bai displayed the composure of someone who had been through countless battles.

The idea of ​​fake dating is just too classic.

However... Liu Bai, having already accepted Xueyi's request, had no reason to refuse such a classic scene.

"For my sister."

"……Oh."

Liu Bai had no idea what had to do with Han Ya's relationship with him and Xue Yi's "self-destructive tendencies."

But it's okay, it's a minor issue. The questioning is just a formality anyway.

Instead...

Liu Bai silently looked at Ting Yun.

"This young lady keeps her mouth shut."

Tingyun immediately spoke.

"This isn't about discussing any conspiracy."

Liu Bai rolled his eyes at Ting Yun's alertness.

Being overly alert when it's not necessary.

"What I mean is, now that you're here, Tingyun, how about I let you plan this?"

"...You really know how to make things difficult for me."

Tingyun's tone carried a hint of helplessness and...interest.

She's a businesswoman, not the stereotypical obedient girl.

A virtuous personality and an adventurous spirit are not mutually exclusive.

However, Tingyun's real conflict lies in his adventurous spirit, yet deep down he is somewhat indecisive and confused.

—But now, things like this, where things seem to go wrong but nothing really happens, don't trigger any of Tingyun's inner flaws.

"In that case, I shall make a fool of myself—before that, could you please explain the purpose of this operation to me?"

The crows remained silent.

Family scandals should not be made public.

"I……"

Han Ya's Adam's apple bobbed, and he caught a glimpse of Liu Bai about to speak out of the corner of his eye. "I want to make my sister back down."

Even if it tarnishes my own reputation, I will protect my sister's honor!

After speaking, Han Ya took a deep breath and looked up at Ting Yun.

Tingyun's mouth had completely turned into an "O".

If they're all aiming for the same thing, then what kind of fake relationship is that? It's just sisters fighting over a man, isn't it?

Even if she's never eaten pork, hasn't she at least seen a pig run?

Tingyun inwardly complained, but on the surface, she resumed her composed and smiling expression.

It's alright. People from Xianzhou are always reserved. Adding the word "fake" to this kind of thing makes it sound much more pleasant.

I understand, I understand.

"In that case... Miss Han Ya, why don't you just have Lord Liu Bai..."

Tingyun made a gesture as tactfully as possible.

Pretend what?! Just sheath your sword already!

You two, get into bed right now!

"No...that's not what I meant..."

The crow's face finally turned red.

“I mean… something gentler…”

Where did this picky customer come from?

Tingyun sighed inwardly.

It's okay, I understand, I completely understand.

Tingyun's patience as a businessman made her smile even more gentle and approachable.

"How about we take a step back and have a passionate kiss in front of your sister?"

"But...it's okay."

That's acceptable.

After thinking for a moment, the crow realized that although it had never done such a thing before, it didn't seem like the previous suggestion.

Even though her job as a judge made her indifferent to many things.

But... she still cares a little about things that are important in terms of common sense and morality.

"If this is all we have... won't it be convincing enough? I hope to get my sister to withdraw voluntarily."

The crow continued to make its demands.

"Is there a way to tell at a glance how deep the feelings are?"

"...That's a bit difficult to fake."
