Genshin Impact: This Trainee Fatui Harbinger is Too Unreliable

The wait for a railcar at the harbor was long,

So by the time Lumine and her group reached the next one, Luo Qing and Furina had already left, their whereabouts unknown.

The two of them sat side by side on the top deck of the railcar, while Clorinde and the guards remained below, leaving Luo Qing and Furina with plenty of private space.

"Hey, so, I just invited that traveler to watch Lyney's magic performance. Do you want to come too?"

Furina's voice lacked confidence, but it was clear she was inviting Luo Qing.

"Me?"

Luo Qing sized up Furina with a skeptical glance.

"I can go, but if you want me to keep being your bodyguard, I'm charging extra."

"You—!"

Furina stomped her foot, her tone quiet but full of mock outrage. "How dare you refuse the invitation of a god like me!"

"Yeah, I dare. What about it?"

Luo Qing folded his arms, completely unfazed by Furina's indignant expression.

If he went, Lumine and Paimon would definitely bombard him with questions, leaving him with a pounding headache.

He'd rather send a scout to gather intel and have them report back afterward.

"You..."

Furina was exasperated.

If it weren't for Luo Qing knowing her secrets, she would've dealt with him long ago!

"Oh, come on... just go with me. Lyney's magic show is really fun..."

Her tone softened as she tugged at Luo Qing's shoulder, looking for all the world like a girlfriend trying to coax her partner.

"No."

Luo Qing shook his head firmly.

While Furina's antics surprised him, he was already a married man (and not just once).

This level of flirting was nowhere near enough to sway him.

If she wanted to convince him, at the very least, she'd need to lean in and—

"Why don't you ask Neuvillette? He's your loyal assistant. Why are you always pestering me?"

"I..."

Furina hesitated, lowering her head and murmuring quietly,

"Can't I just want you to come with me?"

"Huh?"

Luo Qing was dumbfounded.

What on earth was she saying?

He turned to look at Furina, only to see her covering her mouth, stifling laughter while pointing at him.

"Ahahaha! I knew it—you fell for it!"

Furina stood with her hands on her hips, brimming with pride. "As if anyone could resist the charm of a god like me!"

"..."

"You were just thinking, *'Does Furina have feelings for me?' Weren't you?"

"..."

"I wasn't."

"Liar! Your face just now totally gave it away! Haha, I win!"

"..."

[+1 Frustration Value from Luo Qing]

To be fair, Luo Qing had been caught off guard earlier.

Considering his past experiences with Makoto and Buer,

He couldn't rule out the possibility that Furina might be a past fling—or a future one.

But now it seemed clear:

Furina was just trying to regain some dignity after repeatedly embarrassing herself in front of him. This was nothing more than a prank.

"Hmph, fine. If you won't go, I don't care."

Furina huffed, folding her arms. "The opera house isn't far from the Palais Mermonia anyway. Neuvillette will definitely accompany me, and with him around, I'm not afraid of some traveler!"

"..."

Luo Qing was at a loss for words.

He even felt a twinge of sympathy for Neuvillette.

Their deity was cowardly, bossy, and loved stirring up trouble. He was the one silently bearing the burden...

Sigh, if only you were Nahida's ward. Should I try to poach you?

After enduring two more days of Furina's antics on the railcar,

Luo Qing finally returned to Fontaine Court. As soon as he disembarked, he used his Void Terminal to contact Navia.

In no time, they arranged to meet in the Ashen River District.

"Mr. Luo Qing, is there anything else you need us to do?"

Navia and Luo Qing sat in the reception room of the Spina di Rosula branch. However, unlike before, Navia seemed uneasy, as though something was weighing on her mind.

"Miss Navia, is something troubling you?"

Luo Qing asked casually.

"Oh, it's nothing."

Navia shook her head and forced a cheerful smile. "Just some family matters. Nothing you need to worry about."

"Let's focus on your business instead, Mr. Luo Qing."

"Alright."

Luo Qing nodded, deciding not to press further since she didn't want to talk about it.

"As I mentioned before, the traveler has arrived in Fontaine. She should be heading to Fontaine Court soon. Lady Furina plans to invite her to watch Lyney's magic show at the opera house, and I need you to go as well."

Lumine already knew most of Luo Qing's subordinates. Having Navia go would keep things less complicated.

"Am I supposed to spy on them?" Navia asked, puzzled.

"Not entirely," Luo Qing replied, his tone calm.

"All you need to do is keep your Void Terminal active. If anything unexpected happens, feel free to act on your own judgment. I don't mind."

Characters with Visions were almost always involved in the main story.

Even though Luo Qing wasn't sure of the future plot, it wasn't hard to deduce that Navia was also a significant character.

And since she was likely to have a role in the traveler's story,

He needed to keep tabs on what unfolded at the opera house, even if he didn't want to go himself.

Who knows? He might uncover clues about the whereabouts of the Gnosis.

"Understood..."

Navia nodded.

Ever since their first meeting, Luo Qing had asked her to keep the Void Terminal on her at all times so they could stay in contact.

It occurred to her now that the device might contain hidden surveillance features, tracking her location or even accessing her view...

Which meant...

Could he see her when she was in front of a mirror? Or changing clothes?!

Her thoughts became a whirlwind of confusion and embarrassment.

From now on, she decided to take off the Void Terminal whenever she was resting.

"I understand, Mr. Luo Qing."

Navia nodded, agreeing to his request.

After all, the Spina di Rosula had already accepted a hefty sum of Mora, which had gone toward replenishing their operational funds. As long as Luo Qing's requests weren't unethical or illegal, she had little choice but to comply.

"Good, that's settled then."

As the meeting wrapped up, Luo Qing stood to leave but paused, seemingly recalling something.

"Earlier, you mentioned some unpleasant family matters?"

"It's nothing serious..."

Navia hesitated before shaking her head. "Just some old issues that were brought up again."

"I see..."

Luo Qing appeared thoughtful. "If that's the case, perhaps you should spend more time with the traveler."

"Spend more time with her?" Navia asked, confused.

"You might not know this, but the traveler is extraordinarily lucky and very capable.

"Give her 60 Primogems, and she can solve any problem for you. Maybe by getting to know her, your troubles will resolve themselves too~."

"This..."

Navia had no idea what Luo Qing was talking about.

Still, she nodded politely.

"I'll keep that in mind, Mr. Luo Qing."
