"Despicable!"
The words fell.
The three women, whose atmosphere had been tense, exchanged glances, and could all see the shared hatred in each other's eyes.
The three women, who had just been acting like "you two little bitches!", shook hands with each other without prior arrangement, burying the hatchet. Then Amber and Lisa both looked at Ying.
"What's next?"
Why are you asking me?
Ying looked completely bewildered.
Do you think I'm the kind of woman with a head full of bad ideas?
"We can't let them continue talking!"
Ying also agreed, given Qin's past achievements.
After thinking for two seconds, Ying's eyes lit up: "I've got it!"
"I once learned the art of disguise from someone, we can..."
······
downstairs.
As Qin talked, she found a sense of her past life.
Just like countless times before, when Lin Jiu'an and I would chat while eating pizza in her office. √摆∵烂∥图∞书∨馆≠$#^qqun¥斯∏留,≯兒、~齐℃尔&*就{↗∽叄$
Just as the two were drinking wine and chatting.
'Snap!'

The camera flash went off on the two of them.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk."
A series of sighs, typical of villains, rang out.
Three women appeared at the door.
Two middle-aged women in their forties, one tall and one short, and a young girl in her twenties.
"Who are you?" Qin asked, frowning.
"It doesn't matter who we are."
"It's important."
The young woman, with a malicious smile, waved the camera in her hand.
"You don't want the news of your secret rendezvous with a man in the middle of the night to spread throughout Mondstadt tomorrow, Jean."
Chapter Sixteen, Qin: Your taste is really too heavy.
"What do you want to do?"
"It's very simple."
The young woman said, "There are three of us here, no, four of us. Each of us will receive 100,000 Mora as hush money, and that will be the end of it."
Lin Jiu'an raised an eyebrow.
So kind?
Although he couldn't see any resemblance between these three and Ying and the others, the fact that they would come looking for Qin in the middle of the night for no reason meant that they were the three under the bed.
Furthermore, given that Ying had learned the art of disguise from Ye Lan in her previous life, their identities were not difficult to guess.
The young woman holding the camera, looking like she was the villain, was Ying. The other two were Lisa, who seemed more open-minded, and Amber, who appeared somewhat barren.
Qin asked strangely, "Are you trying to blackmail me?"
"That's right!"
"The three of you together?"
"nature!"
Ying tilted her head slightly in smugness, and then saw Qin draw his sword and walk towards her.
Ying exclaimed in shock, "What are you going to do?!"
"You're extorting money from others. Did you voluntarily come back to the detention center with me, or am I taking you there?"
fluorescent:"?"
Lisa: "?"
Amber: "?"
Looking at the faint wind element surrounding Qin, Ying felt a chill run down her spine.
Why didn't you just give in and slink away? Why did you have to resort to violence at the slightest disagreement?
Ying subconsciously looked at Lisa and Amber.
As a result, the two of them were looking at each other.
It's true that Luminous's disguise skills are superb, but there are only a handful of people in Mondstadt who possess the Eye of Cognition, and they are all friends. If you make a move, Jean will definitely recognize you.
The three of them looked at each other, all with a "Hurry up and do it!" expression.
At last.
Amber and Lisa exchanged a glance.
As if they had reached some kind of agreement, they all turned to look at Ying.
'If you don't intervene, then we'll split up and run in different directions. I'll see if Qin chases after those with cameras or those without.'
Ying saw the meaning they were trying to convey in their eyes with despair.
Simply put.
Sisters are like birds in the same forest; when disaster strikes, they fly away separately.
What kind of toxic friends have I made?!
Amber, it's no use looking at me apologetically; our friendship has already capsized!
Seeing Qin closing in step by step, Ying retreated while holding her camera.
Don't come over here!
Suddenly, just as Amber and Lisa were about to run away, Ying's eyes lit up.
He stubbornly replied, "Extortion will only result in a maximum of fifteen days of detention."
"I'll still be a hero in fifteen days!"
"Even without photos, the fact that you've arrested me will be irrefutable!"
"Then we'll spread this around the city, and everyone will love the story of the Knights of Favonius's late-night rendezvous with his pretty boy."
Qin paused slightly, her brows furrowing slightly.
Although she believed she was upright and honest and not afraid of rumors, she had to admit that Ying's words made a lot of sense.
If that were to actually happen...
It's likely that in a while, rumors about her and Lin Jiu'an will be all over the place.
Moreover, listening to Ying's words, Qin felt that she had vaguely grasped some key information, but she couldn't remember it for a moment.
Seeing Qin hesitate, Ying pressed her advantage, saying, "How about this, we compromise, the four of us each get 50,000, how about that?"
"four people?"
"Oh, you're only just realizing that?"
Ying waved her hand.
The two middle-aged women behind him walked up to Lin Jiu'an and nestled against him coquettishly.
For the sake of the 50,000 Mora, Lin Jiu'an tolerated it.
"Tell you the truth."
Under Qin's astonished gaze, Ying crossed her arms and said smugly, "When you came in just now, the three of us sisters were all in his room."
"We were all under the bed when you came in!"
"Although I don't know what you, the dignified leader of the Qin Troupe, are doing here in the middle of the night, since you've fallen into our hands, for the sake of your own reputation, you'd better obediently pay up to avoid further trouble!"
Qin looked at Lin Jiu'an, and when he offered no explanation, her first reaction was not disappointment or anger.
Instead, he stared blankly at the two strangely-looking middle-aged women beside him, and suddenly felt a little nauseous.
She's never been one to judge people by their appearance, but these two women are just... ugh!
'Lin Jiu'an, I never expected you to have such unusual tastes.'
Seeing the meaning on Qin's face, Lin Jiu'an silently increased the ransom from 50,000 Mora to 200,000 Mora.
······
Perhaps Lin Jiu'an's behavior disappointed her.
Perhaps the intense emotional fluctuations prevented her from thinking calmly.
In short.
After confirming that the ransom for the photos had been delivered to Lin Jiu'an, Qin hurriedly left.
After confirming that Qin had left, the three women immediately started arguing.
Ying angrily said, "When there's nothing to do, you ask me to come up with ideas; when there's trouble, you make me take the blame!"
"I've seen through you two fake sisters!"
Amber lowered her head apologetically, while Lisa appeared much calmer.
"Since you put it that way, then I'd like to ask, what's the point of this makeup you did for us?"
Lisa pointed to her dog's appearance, which even it shook its head at, and asked.
Ying was a little embarrassed, but still stubbornly said, "I... I was just making her feel physically uncomfortable. Don't you see how effective that is?"
"And what about you? Why do you draw something so normal?"
Amber immediately realized what was going on.
The three of them argued for a while, then Lin Jiu'an stood up, yawning.
"You guys keep arguing, I'm going upstairs to sleep."
The three women looked at each other in bewilderment as they watched Lin Jiu'an go upstairs.
Finally, looking at each other again, they realized what was happening at the same time, and turned their heads away in annoyance, spitting at each other.
"Despicable!"
······
Knights of the West Wind.
As Qin hurriedly returned to the Knights, she suddenly stopped at the entrance of the library.
My mind is filled with what just happened.
But no matter what, Qin felt something was strange, whether it was the familiar feeling that the three women gave her, or the eerie feeling that Lin Jiu'an's taste had suddenly changed so much.
Thinking about it, she looked at the library and asked, "Is Lisa back?"
“Miss Lisa returned a few hours ago,” said the knight on night watch at the library.
Am I wrong?
The strange feeling in my heart always lingered.
In the end, Qin felt she had to go and see Lisa's bedroom, so she headed towards the library.
