In the courtyard, the girl swung the sharp sword in his hand over and over again.
After swinging an unknown number of times, the girl stopped his movements, executed a sword flourish, and sheathed the blade.
“Whew…” Closing his eyes, he let out a soft breath.
After a moment, the girl walked toward the bedroom.
After casually wiping his face with a towel, the girl looked at himself in the mirror.
A head of shoulder-length purple hair, coupled with purple eyes.
If those cat-ear-like hair buns were added…
He was the spitting image of Keqing.
It should be said that he was now Keqing, though certainly not the original Keqing.
He wasn’t even in Liyue, but on the Xianzhou…
It had been decades since he arrived in this world, and he still vaguely remembered what he was doing before he transmigrated.
After falling asleep in a daze while running the Hoyo trio, he arrived on the Xianzhou and even took on Keqing’s appearance.
In his memory, he had Keqing’s swordsmanship, but it wasn’t the original version.
At the very least, the Keqing in Genshin couldn’t just throw out sword qi like that; this was clearly the swordsmanship of the Keqing from Honkai.
After tidying up his appearance, Keqing walked toward the adjacent bedroom.
To be precise, it was the bedroom of the person he lived with.
“Qingque, it’s time to get up for work.” Walking to the bedside, Keqing looked at the caterpillar on the bed and tapped the headboard with his scabbard.
“Hmm?” The caterpillar wriggled a bit, turned over, and went silent again.
“If you think it’s fine to go to work like that, I can take you to the Divination Commission,” Keqing said, reaching out to pick up the caterpillar on the bed.
“Hey, hey!
Don’t!
I’m getting up right now!” The caterpillar on the bed immediately sat up.
As the caterpillar unrolled, the girl inside was also revealed.
A head of long brown hair, holding a giant jade marbles bolster in her arms.
“Little Qing, really, if you want to go to work, just go.
Why do you have to drag me along?” Qingque rubbed her eyes and tossed the bolster aside.
“If you went to work on time every day, the Grand Diviner wouldn’t have asked for my help,” Keqing, whom Qingque called Little Qing, said seriously.
“Being a Diviner in the Divination Commission is a good job.
You should be more serious.
The Grand Diviner thinks highly of you, so you should work harder.” “If I had known getting into the Divination Commission would be this much trouble, I would have been better off applying to the Alchemy Commission,” Qingque whispered.
“Fine, fine, I’m awake.
You can go to work first.” Without even putting on her outer coat, Qingque jumped off the bed and pushed Keqing toward the door.
“If the Grand Diviner sends me another message saying you didn’t show up, next time I’ll definitely deliver you there, bed and all,” Keqing said, yielding to Qingque’s push and walking out.
After leaving the house, Keqing also headed toward his workplace.
He didn’t care if Qingque would listen to him, or rather, he knew she definitely would, because Qingque understood that with Keqing’s personality, he would certainly do what he said.
After buying some food at a shop in Exalting Sanctum, Keqing ate while walking toward the Seat of Divine Foresight.
Just as he reached the main gate of the Seat of Divine Foresight, Keqing finished his breakfast.
Taking a deep breath, Keqing walked into the Seat of Divine Foresight.
Yes, Keqing worked at the Seat of Divine Foresight.
When he first became Keqing, he thought he was the Yuheng of Liyue.
Seeing the starships flying in the sky, Keqing thought they were the creations of some Perfectly Good at Chatting True Lord.
Only after asking around did he realize he had arrived on the Xianzhou.
Finally, he was even taken away by the Cloud Knights for questioning.
Those Cloud Knights initially thought Keqing was an Outlander, but the aura of Abundance on him couldn’t be faked.
After an investigation, the Cloud Knights treated Keqing as a lost child from an unknown family.
However, after searching and failing to find Keqing’s guardian, they had no choice but to send him to an orphanage.
It took several years of hard work before Keqing finally obtained his Adulthood Certificate.
It was while testing for his Adulthood Certificate that he happened to meet Qingque.
At the time, both of them had the goal of securing an iron rice bowl job.
“Miss Keqing is as punctual as ever today,” the Cloud Knight on guard duty at the Seat of Divine Foresight said to Keqing.
“One must not be late for work,” Keqing said as he walked in.
Bypassing the chess game in the main hall, Keqing walked straight to Jing Yuan’s side.
At this time in the Seat of Divine Foresight, there wasn’t yet that young swordsman who always followed Jing Yuan around calling him General.
When Keqing first arrived at the Seat of Divine Foresight, he was confused for a long time.
But remembering the Adulthood Certificate he took with Qingque, he felt it didn’t matter; who knew exactly when in the Xianzhou’s timeline he had arrived.
“Keqing, you’re here,” Jing Yuan said to Keqing with narrowed eyes.
“General, work has just started; you shouldn’t be drowsy.” Keqing saw at a glance that Jing Yuan hadn’t slept well.
Narrowing his eyes now was likely to hide his slight sleepiness.
“Your powers of observation are quite sharp.
You’ve only just walked up to me and you can already tell I’m a bit tired,” Jing Yuan said, sitting directly in his chair.
“However, Keqing, why don’t you guess why I didn’t sleep well?” Jing Yuan asked.
“If the General didn’t sleep well, he must have his own reasons.
I only need to do my part,” Keqing said, picking up a large stack of documents from the desk in front of Jing Yuan.
“Some of that work isn’t so urgent.” “But if work is piled up until tomorrow, won’t there be even more to do then?” Keqing said, beginning to look through the portion of documents he was to review.
Ever since Keqing passed his Adulthood Certificate exam, like Qingque, he felt that a public office job was the best iron rice bowl.
At that time, Keqing didn’t have many goals and felt that getting into any department would be fine.
He wanted to go to the Divination Commission with Qingque, but if they went together, there was a high chance one would be weeded out.
So Keqing cooperated with Qingque, letting her enter the Divination Commission, while he ended up being assigned to the Seat of Divine Foresight.
The work at the Seat of Divine Foresight wasn’t that busy, mainly involving help with miscellaneous tasks.
At first, he only handled simple documents, but as his Proficiency grew, the speed at which Keqing completed his work every day became faster and faster.
Eventually, thanks to Jing Yuan’s little schemes, the number of documents Keqing handled grew larger and larger.
Even the number of other staff members in the Seat of Divine Foresight had decreased significantly.
Keqing looked at the documents before him, feeling more and more that something wasn’t right as he processed them.
“General, is this the kind of document I should be reviewing?” Keqing picked up a file, walked over to Jing Yuan, and placed it directly in front of him.
“General?” Keqing called out again with a frown.
Seeing that Jing Yuan still hadn’t reacted, Keqing intended to reach out and give him a nudge.
The moment Keqing’s hand touched Jing Yuan, Jing Yuan grabbed Keqing’s wrist.
“General, if you haven’t woken up yet, I suggest you go home and rest,” Keqing said.
“I was just thinking about something.
Is there a problem?” Jing Yuan coughed and said with a serious expression.
“This document—I think it would be better if the General reviewed it himself.” Keqing flicked his wrist, breaking free from Jing Yuan’s grip.
“This document?” Only then did Jing Yuan see the file placed before him.
“Interstellar Peace Corporation…” As soon as he read the beginning of the document, Jing Yuan’s expression turned serious.
