Genshin Impact: I, the first water follower, makes players excited

Chapter 279 Social Death in Progress

He quickly ate the breakfast prepared by Candice. It was not because the breakfast made by Candice was not delicious, but because Hines had no appetite. He just wanted to find Candice and ask her to keep the secret.

But Hines forgot one thing: deep in Mount Sumeru, the King of Trees and the God of Grass could receive all the requests of the people, even if he was not a believer.

This also led to the fact that both the Great Tree King and Nashida 'accidentally' learned about this trivial matter.

Nashida, who was asking the Great Compassion Tree King where Sumeru would go in the future, was stunned when she heard Xines' inexplicable prayer.

Coincidentally, the Great Ci Tree King was also stunned for a moment. Keeping a secret? The secret of Xines and Egolia?

This is really...it's hard not to be curious!

As the reincarnation of the Tree King, Nashida naturally understood what the Tree King meant, so she connected her consciousness to Candice and asked her what had happened between Sines and Egolia.

Fortunately, Candice is a trustworthy person.

"I'm sorry, God of Xumi, I don't understand what you are talking about."

Language can be used to conceal the truth, but thoughts cannot. After Narcida said the names of Cynes and Egolia, Candice's mind involuntarily emerged with everything she heard last night.

Nashida was silent for a moment. This time, her mind reading was not because she disrespected Candice, but her consciousness was on Candice at this moment, and she could see Candice's thoughts clearly.

Therefore, Candice's cover-up is meaningless.

"Excuse me...are you okay with the recent changes in the desert?"

Candice didn't think there was anything wrong with it. It would be outrageous if the God of Wisdom really came down just because of a piece of gossip.

But I'm sorry, sometimes reality is so outrageous. Nashida's main purpose is to gossip, and asking about the situation in the desert is just a side job.

After all, even if He didn't ask about it now, Seno would bring his investigation report when he returned to the House of Ecclesiastical Affairs in two days.

"The desert has indeed been gradually getting better recently. Children can acquire knowledge, desert people can enter Xumi to make a living, and there are ladders for progress. Therefore, the desert is no longer synonymous with violence. All this is thanks to your dedication."

Nashida asked Candice about the specific implementation progress of some policies, and Candice's answer made Nashida laugh from the bottom of her heart.

Not to mention that Narcida has obtained top-secret information that can deal a critical blow to Hines, Hines and Egolia on the other side are also looking for Candice everywhere.

"You haven't left yet?"

Seno appeared at the intersection without knowing when. He frowned slightly as he looked at the two men, who seemed to be looking for something.

"Did you lose something?"

"Yeah, I'm going to lose all my face soon."

"?"

Senomosuo lowered his chin and looked at Xines.

"Explain your joke, I don't get it."

"..."

Hines slapped his forehead. "What a joke? What a joke! I'm telling the truth!"

Egolia gave Senor an apologetic smile.

"We're looking for Candice. Do you know where she went?"

"As for Candice, she should be clearing out the beasts near the school that's being built."

Upon hearing the news, Sines took Egolia and ran away without saying a word.

"Don't forget the party the day after tomorrow!"

Seno stood there, looking at the back of Xines and muttering to himself,

"Embarrassing... Candice? Did he tell Candice a joke?"

Without thinking too much, Seno continued with his task. He opened the activity list given to him by Rahman, which recorded some troublesome tribes that were "unwilling to cooperate".

And Seno's mission is simple, to use his fists to influence them and let them feel the mercy of the Grass God.

Sure enough, Seno's intelligence was quite accurate. When the two arrived, Candice was chatting with another desert man dressed in scholar's clothes.

As for why I could tell at a glance that the scholar was a desert man...

Well, apart from his highly recognizable but unifying skin color, this scholar has another special feature that sets him apart from other scholars.

That is, the other scholars are in shackles, and only she has precious freedom.

"Candice, I finally found you!"

Hines pulled Egolia to stop in front of Candice, but due to the presence of outsiders, Hines couldn't directly tell them the purpose of their trip.

There was no other way, so Hines had to look at the strange scholar and then at Candice.

When Candice saw the look in Hines' eyes, she immediately understood and gave Hines a kind look in return.

Candice: I understand.

Hines: Reliable!

"This is Setare, a formal scholar from the desert. Setare, these two are the Hines and Egolia I mentioned to you before. I hope you will meet them."

Hines forced a smile and looked at Setale, his mind full of questions: What did you say to her?

Setale naturally knew these two people. When she was investigating in Aru Village before, she had already come into contact with Ying and Elhaisen and others. In addition, these two found the missing village guards.

As a villager of Aru Village, it is difficult for Setale not to know these two names.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Setare. As you can see, I am a scholar who returned to my hometown to build the desert."

"It's nice to meet you. If you could tell us what Candice said to you, maybe we would be even happier..."

"?"

Setale's smile was immediately replaced by surprise. Is this some new way of socializing? Why don't I understand?

On the contrary, Candice on the side smiled even more.

"Don't worry, I haven't told anyone about your affairs..."

At this point, Candice suddenly remembered the long-distance call she had just had with Nashida.

"Setale, go and ask if anyone has seen any wild animals around here."

"no problem."

After making sure that Setale could no longer hear the voices from this side, Candice continued,

"Just now, Xumi's Grass God also asked me about you. Of course, I didn't tell him."

Hines and Egolia looked at each other and felt as if the sky was falling.

Yes, you didn’t say it, but that doesn’t mean Nashida doesn’t know!

"Tell me, how did Nashida know this?"

"...Could it be that your prayers were heard by them?"

Egolia's guess hit Hines' chest like a heavy punch.

Yes, Nashida would listen even to the wishes of ordinary people, let alone them?

Looking at the couple in front of her whose painting style was almost turning gray, Candice had no idea what was going on and could only forcefully comfort them.

"Don't worry, no one will know what happened last night except the three of us."

"You're right, but besides humans, there are also gods..."

"?"
