Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Chapter 123: Sending the Immortals to the Funeral

In the magnificent venue, Ningguang, Ganyu, and Keqing were standing on a high place, preparing to preside over this grand ceremony to send off the immortals. Their eyes were fixed on a person in the venue from afar - the unique Ying.

The three of them exchanged glances, and after reaching a consensus, they nodded slightly and signaled to the Qianyan Army standing solemnly on the side.

The Qianyan Army immediately took action. Like sharp swords breaking through the waves, they cleared a path through the bustling crowd.

A captain of the Qianyan Army walked steadily to Shao Yun. He bowed respectfully and said, "Hello, Miss Ganyu. Master Tianquan and Master Yuheng specially invite you three heroes who saved Liyue to come forward and have a chat."

As soon as these words came out, the originally noisy venue suddenly became quiet, and all eyes were focused on Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng. The three of them became the focus of the whole audience, attracting countless curious and admiring eyes.

The crowd began to talk, and a male voice rang out: "Ah? The heroes who saved Liyue? Did they defeat the terrifying monster in the sea?"

The woman next to him exclaimed: "That man is so tall and mighty, so handsome! The girl sitting on his neck is so cute!"

At this time, a childish voice suddenly asked: "The one flying in the air... um... is she the child of this brother or sister?"

When Paimon heard this, she stomped her feet in the air angrily. She waved her fists and said dissatisfiedly: "Hey! I'm not their child!"

Shao Yun looked at the angry Paimeng and couldn't help laughing. He patted Paimeng's head gently and said jokingly, "Come on, Paimeng, call me daddy."

Paimeng was made even angrier by Shao Yun's words. She pouted and said, "Hey! Shao Yun! Stop making trouble!"

Ying, who was sitting on Shao Yun's neck, covered her mouth and laughed so hard that she fell backwards.

……

Shao Yun walked steadily to Ningguang, with Ying sitting on his neck and Paimon floating beside him.

At this moment, Ying was feeling the gazes of the people around her. She couldn't help but gently pull Shao Yun's hair and whispered, "Shao Yun, I think you can put me down."

When Shao Yun heard this, he just turned his head slightly, raised his eyes upwards, and met Ying's eyes. He asked softly, "What's wrong? Is it uncomfortable to sit on my neck?"

Faced with such a question, Ying shook her head, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she also lowered her voice and answered: "It's not because of this reason, but... This is a basic etiquette, you understand?"

After hearing this, Shao Yun seemed to understand something. He nodded to show his understanding.

Then, he slowly squatted down and slowly slid Ying off his neck, letting her stand steadily on the ground.

Gan Yu, who was standing nearby, watched this scene. Her eyes were filled with a gentle smile. She said softly, "You two have a good relationship."

The sound is not loud, but it is loud enough for people around to hear.

Paimon also nodded and agreed, "I feel the same way."

Shao Yun touched his chin, a smug smile appeared on his face, and said: "Maybe it's because I'm too handsome, I attracted Ying's heart."

Hearing this, Ying looked at him helplessly, then smiled and said, "This is the first time I've discovered that you are so narcissistic."

Shao Yun smiled indifferently. He raised his head confidently and said to her, "If I were ugly, you would have thrown me back into the sea long ago."

Ying shook her head helplessly, thinking: A kiss can make him so proud. I dare not imagine what he will become after he finds his brother.

……

"Excuse me, what can I do for you?" Ying looked at Ningguang and asked softly. Her voice was as gentle as the breeze blowing across the lake.

Ningguang smiled slightly, with a shrewd light in her eyes, and said slowly: "I once had a deal with Mr. Shao Yun, and I promised him to fulfill one of your wishes. So, before the ceremony of sending off the immortal begins, I would like to hear your wish first."

As soon as the words fell, the entire venue exploded like a flaming gunpowder barrel. People were talking to each other, and the sound of discussion was endless.

Everyone's face was filled with shock and disbelief. One of the businessmen even widened his eyes and muttered in amazement, "Lord Tianquanxing is actually going to fulfill that girl's wish! This is probably the most incredible thing I have ever heard in my life!"

The young man wearing glasses at the side was so excited that he was incoherent, and he echoed: "Yes! Yes! If it were me, I would definitely ask Lord Tianquanxing for countless Mora! That's what I have dreamed of all my life!"

Hearing this, Ying couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Her eyes slowly moved to Ningguang, staring into her deep and intelligent eyes.

The crowd in the venue gradually calmed down, and everyone held their breath, quietly waiting for the girl to speak out the wish that made them so curious.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and everyone was eager to know the answer.

"I'm sorry, I don't know now. Can you let me think about it? I'll tell you after the ceremony of sending off the immortals is over, okay?" Ying said with a slight embarrassment. After all, it was a bit too sudden and he hadn't thought it through yet. He needed to think about it.

Ningguang subconsciously wanted to say the four words "No waiting after the expiration date", but when she looked at Shao Yun standing next to Ying, Ningguang choked back her words.

She had a premonition that if she dared to say that, Shao Yun would shoot a hole in her head in the next second!

"Of course."

Ying smiled innocently and said, "Thank you."

Ningguang then invited Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng to preside over the ceremony to send off the immortals.

At noon, Ningguang saw that the time was ripe and signaled a Thousand Rock Army soldier beside her to step forward.

This Qianyan Army soldier was dressed in armor and looked awe-inspiring. He read the Seven Stars official notice aloud in a loud and solemn voice.

"Send the Seven Stars official document to inform everyone: Even though the flying dragons and unicorns may live as long as the mountains, they will eventually turn into dust. The Emperor is an immortal, with a destiny as bright as the sun and the moon, but the weather may change from time to time, and he may encounter thunderstorms. The rumors on the streets say that the Emperor was assassinated, but this is not true. The Emperor was afflicted by the heavens, and his soul has returned to heaven. Therefore, I would like to inform the people of Liyue to mourn and avoid heartbreak. Also, please stop listening to rumors and making unwarranted assumptions."

People were talking about it in the venue, but Paimeng looked confused. She blinked her big eyes and asked in a low voice: "Ningguang, what does this mean?"

Ningguang smiled slightly, and she gently patted Paimeng's head, signaling her to stay calm. Shao Yun whispered to explain to Paimeng: "This is an official announcement, which means that the emperor passed away because of the tribulation, not because of assassination."

As soon as Shao Yun finished speaking, he added: "However, I feel that we can put the blame on the Fatui. After all, some died over there, some ran away, and there is no way to refute it."

Ningguang was moved when she heard Shao Yun's words, but she didn't show it. She knew that Liyue was at a critical turning point and she needed to stabilize people's hearts and guide Liyue into a new era.

She took a deep breath, took a step forward, and swept her eyes over everyone in the venue. Her voice was clear and firm, like a spring breeze: "The Emperor's soul has returned to heaven, which means the severance of the 'contract' and the end of an era. We Liyue people were once happy, and in our happiness we forgot the cruelty of time."

There was a hint of sadness in Ningguang's voice. She paused, as if she was gathering her emotions.

Then, she continued, "But after waking up from the dream, people learned to say goodbye. The era of divine rule has gone, and the era of human rule in Liyue has arrived. When this new contract is re-established, will you bless the next era?"

As soon as she finished speaking, warm applause broke out in the venue. People expressed their support and believed that under Ningguang's leadership, Liyue would usher in a more prosperous and better future.

After Ningguang's well-thought-out and logically rigorous speech, the atmosphere in the venue seemed to be shrouded in a solemn and dignified atmosphere.

However, as Keqing took the stage, a fresh atmosphere gradually spread. Her voice was crisp and powerful, and every word seemed to carry some kind of magic, making people involuntarily immersed in her speech.

Keqing's speech is like a clear spring in a mountain stream, full of unswerving faith and a beautiful vision for the future.

Her words revealed her deep love for this land and her respect for all those who worked hard.

In her speech, people seemed to see the light of hope shining and feel the power of unity gathering.

When Keqing's speech ended, there was warm applause in the venue.

Finally, Ganyu stepped onto the stage at this moment.

"Thank you for sending the last blessings to the deceased emperor at this special moment. We cannot always live in the past, but should cherish the present and work hard to let the emperor's spirit rest in peace."

Her few simple and sincere words seemed to bring this farewell ceremony to a perfect end.

As Gan Yu finished her story, the ceremony of sending off the immortals was officially declared over. People said goodbye to each other and left. Gradually, the place returned to calm, with only sporadic conversations and footsteps remaining.

However, after the noise of the crowd faded away, a figure in the distance stood out.

That was Zhongli. He was still standing there, gazing at Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng with deep eyes.

Shao Yun noticed Zhongli's gaze, he patted Ying's shoulder gently and motioned her to come over.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Ying looked at Shao Yun with some confusion, but quickly understood what he meant.

She blinked her left eye at Shao Yun and a playful smile appeared on her face.

"Okay, I know what you mean."
