Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Night, Yunlai Inn.

Ying and Paimon finished their adventure for today and opened the door.

"We're back!" Ying's voice was filled with a hint of joy, and it was obvious that she had found a lot of good things today.

When Shao Yun heard the voice, he immediately stood up from the table and walked quickly forward.

He held two exquisite porcelain cups with specially prepared warm water in his hands, and handed the cups to Ying and Paimon with a smile.

"How's it going?"

Ying took the water cup, took a sip, and then answered excitedly: "Paimon and I have already explored Tianqiu Valley! We found a lot of interesting things and solved some puzzles!"

When Shao Yun heard the news, he was also excited. He said happily: "What good news! I also have something I want to share with you!"

Good things come in pairs! Ying's adventure went well, and I defeated the devil. Life is getting better!

Ying nodded, indicating that she was willing to listen.

Then, Ying turned to Paimeng and said, "Paimeng, go and get some hot water. We can take a nice bath and relax later."

Paimon nodded, agreed obediently, and flew into the bathroom to prepare hot water.

Shao Yun sat opposite Ying, and he told about his adventures in catching ghosts with Hu Tao, Xiao, and the people from Wangsheng Hall.

"I really didn't expect that the person we were tracking was actually the mother of Ichigen and Ichizu. She turned into a ghost because of her resentment. However, with the efforts of me and the Great Sage who Conquers the Demons, we successfully solved this problem that has troubled Hu Tao for two months!"

As Shao Yun spoke, he handed the information Ye Lan had given him to Ying, but he deliberately avoided the part about the flattering man.

Ying took the information and read it carefully one by one.

While she was immersed in reading, Shao Yun fell into reminiscence.

"Do you still remember Hua Chu and Jian Qiu whom we met at Shimen?" Shao Yun suddenly said, with a barely perceptible tremor in his voice, "These two are the murderers of Miss Huanian."

Having said that, Shao Yun paused, trying to calm himself down and smile.

Ying raised her head, put down the documents in her hand, and her eyes fell on Shao Yun's face.

She noticed that Shao Yun had a half-smile on his face, but his eyes were full of grief and anger.

"What are you going to do?" Ying asked, "Are you going to help her get revenge? Do you need my help?"

Shao Yun shook his head.

"No, I don't want to get involved in any more trouble. Apart from the matter between you and Paimon, I don't want to care about anything else in the future."

He paused for a moment and continued, "I reached an agreement with Miss Huanian and gave the two children 80 million Mora to resolve the matter."

Ying didn't care about Shao Yun casually taking out 80 million Mora, because she saw through Shao Yun's disguise, and he was not happy at all. This was not what he wanted.

"Are you sure? Shao Yun, I don't think you are as relieved as you appear. You are smiling, but I see sadness and anger in your eyes."

Then Ying took Shao Yun's hand and pulled him to sit side by side on the edge of the bed. Their hands were tightly connected, just like two hearts tightly attached to each other.

"Shao Yun, I don't think this is like you." Ying said frankly, "In my eyes, you would chase them to the ends of the earth, kill those two people, and avenge those two children. Why did you choose to take the money and let it go so abruptly?"

Shao Yun seemed a little embarrassed under Ying's gaze. He blinked nervously and then lowered his head, using this method to hide his inner fluctuations.

"No, Ying, I'm not that kind of person." There was a slight tremor in his voice.

However, Ying was not shaken by Shao Yun's denial. She held Shao Yun's hand tighter, moved her body closer to him, and finally leaned on Shao Yun's shoulder.

Then, Ying began to recall Shao Yun's heroic deeds in the past.

"Shao Yun, I know you are not like that. You are the type of person who will help others to the end once you decide to take action. In Mondstadt, you brought Goodwin back without asking for a single Mora; you also helped Sister Gilliana and resolved everything thoroughly."

"If you want to say that you did it for money, but you killed all the 'beasts' in Zhudianfang this time, you didn't steal a penny, you just wanted to retrieve the relics of the child's mother. But you know the murderer who killed Miss Huanian, and he has some relationship with us, and you just end it like this. This is not something you can do."

She narrated every detail so clearly.

After listening to this, Shao Yun held Ying's hand tightly and lied, "Maybe, I am such a person."

Ying raised her head and stared into Shao Yun's eyes, which seemed a little unnatural.

"Shao Yun, I looked into your eyes and I could tell. You were panicking and scared. I remember that early morning in Mondstadt when you rescued Sister Gilliana, your eyes looked the same."

Shao Yun tried to cover it up. He turned his head slightly to avoid Ying's direct gaze.

"I...I didn't."

But Ying did not give up. She gently hugged Shao Yun's neck, bringing them closer.

"Shao Yun, you can't lie to me. Your emotions are always so direct, and your joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness are all written on your face. Tell me, what happened?"

Shao Yun was silent for a moment, struggling in his heart.

Finally, he pursed his lips and made up his mind. He took out the diary from his backpack, gently opened it, found the page with the portrait of the man in the top hat, and handed it to Ying.

"Remember that guy you couldn't see that I showed you?"

Ying took the diary, but her eyes immediately became confused. She looked at the page with a frown: "Shao Yun, this... this is just a blank page."

Shao Yun was also shocked when he looked at the painting, but then he seemed to have thought of something and smiled with relief.

"It appears that it has complied with the contract."

Ying became even more curious. She looked at Shao Yun with a gleam of curiosity in her eyes.

"Shao Yun, can you tell me in detail? What is going on?"

Shao Yun explained to Ying the poker duel between him and the tall hat man, its calculations on him, how it fabricated K as the thirteenth person! Huanian's contract with it.

He talked about how he defeated it, how he used the character of the King of Diamonds to resolve its schemes, and how he used 80 million Moras to invalidate its contract.

After Ying understood the general situation, she nodded and expressed her opinion.

"But I feel that you have gone against your own heart. In your heart, you still want to help Hua Nian kill those two people. Is it worth it to wrong yourself just to interfere?"

Shao Yun stretched out his hand and stroked Ying's silky golden hair.

"worth."

As long as I can resist that devil, it doesn't matter if I feel a little aggrieved!

Ying didn't say anything. She knew that Shao Yun needed support and understanding.

"I understand. If you regret it one day, I will go with you to kill those two bastards who killed your mother."

Shao Yun shook his head. He decided to do the killing himself. Besides, he would never regret it!

"I won't regret it." He whispered, not only speaking to himself, but also telling Ying his determination.

At this time, Paimon's voice came from the bathroom.

"Ying, the bath water is ready."

Ying released the arm that was around Shao Yun's neck and pinched his nose.

"I'm going to take a shower. If you really regret it, I'm always here to help you."

Immediately afterwards, Ying stood up and walked towards the bathroom. Before entering the bathroom, she looked back at Shao Yun.

"If you feel bad about it, I think you can go and arrest the two people who helped Hua Chu and Jian Qiu escape."

After listening to this, Shao Yun found an outlet to vent his emotions. Although he couldn't kill those two people, he could deal with those who were involved!

"Thank you!"

Ying put her hands on her hips and smiled smugly.

"Thank you for what? I just hope you can be happy. We are traveling to support each other!"

After Ying went into the bathroom, Shao Yun also returned to the recliner, closed his eyes, and thought about the plan in his mind.

"Ying is right. I can't kill that couple, so I'll just have to kill the two accomplices. Someone has to pay the price!"

……

The next morning, before the first ray of sunlight completely dispelled the last chill of the night, Ying and Paimon had already left their residence early as usual.

Shao Yun sat alone in a chair, eating breakfast quietly, with a hint of irritability and impatience in his eyes.

"Damn code! Get out here!" Shao Yun drank the last mouthful of porridge. "Don't play dead in front of me! Otherwise, I will find a way to uninstall you!"

As he roared, a translucent system page slowly popped up in front of his eyes, like an obedient servant, ready to serve at any time.

Shao Yun stared at the system in front of him and said stiffly: "Help me find Ye Lan, quickly!"

[Ye Lan is currently in the Liyue General Affairs Department. 】

When Shao Yun heard this information, his brows relaxed a little.

But he then cursed in a low voice: "Besides issuing weapons, having a stable, and this navigation, you don't know anything else, you rubbish!"

……

In the early morning of Liyue City, the morning light shines on the white stone road of Feiyunpo, reflecting a faint luster.

Shao Yun strode through the bustling streets with a clear goal in mind, heading straight for the Liyue General Affairs Department.

Before entering the door of the General Affairs Department, Shao Yun heard some noise coming from inside.

He quickened his pace and pushed the door open, only to see Ye Lan standing in the middle. Beside her were several soldiers dressed in Thousand Rock Army uniforms, who were surrounding a civilian staff member who was being held captive.

Ye Lan looked up and saw Shao Yun. She was slightly startled, then smiled with curiosity.

"Oh? Mr. Shao Yun, what brings you here?"

Shao Yun did not answer directly, his eyes were fixed on the civilian staff member who was being escorted.

"I thought about it last night, and I feel that we can't let this go so hastily. I will personally deal with the two people who assisted Jianqiu and Huachu."

Ye Lan was stunned when he heard this. This was a bit too scary. He was so careless yesterday, why is he so kind-hearted today?

"Ah? Your mood changes so quickly..."

Shao Yun seemed not to hear Ye Lan's muttering. He patted his shoulder and laughed at himself: "Maybe, I am such a moody guy!"

Shao Yun then pointed at the civilian employee from the General Affairs Department whose hands were tightly tied with ropes, and there was a hint of chill in his voice.

"He is the Xiao Fang who assists Hua Chu and Jian Qiu? The secretary of the General Affairs Department!"

Ye Lan's eyes were also fixed on the figure. She nodded slightly and replied calmly, "It was him. He tried to escape, but we caught him in time."

Shao Yun took a step forward and walked towards the bound man.

"Then I'll take a good look at this guy." Shao Yun squeezed his hands together, making a crackling sound!

Ye Lan followed closely behind and reminded softly: "Shao Yun, be careful not to beat him to death. We haven't interrogated him yet."

Shao Yun stopped and turned around, his eyes flashing with coldness.

"Don't worry, I have a measure."

Ye Lan prayed in her heart, please don’t kill him!
