Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

In the grand and spacious living room of the Hiiragi family, the elderly Hiiragi Shinsuke kneeled leisurely in front of the tea table, holding a cup of fragrant tea in his hand, savoring the tranquility and elegance.

Beside him, two maids dressed in exquisite traditional Inazuma costumes, with their brows lowered, accompanied him with endless respect and humility.

Just as this quiet time was slowly passing, Shengjia's slightly hurried footsteps broke the tranquility.

He walked in quickly, bowed deeply, with a barely perceptible nervousness in his tone.

"Master, Mr. Kurisu from the Wan Guo Chamber of Commerce has come to see you with a stranger."

Hiiragi Shinsuke gently put down the teacup in his hand, a hint of expectation flashed in his eyes, and he asked casually: "But is the tax money coming?"

"My Lord, it's not about paying taxes..."

Shengjia's answer was like a drop of cold water on his head, instantly extinguishing his expectations.

He waved his hand and said impatiently, "If it's not about taxes, there's no need to say more. Send them away quickly and don't waste my precious time."

However, Shengjia's next words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples in his heart.

Covering his broken finger, he said with a complicated expression: "Master, that strange man is very determined and insists on seeing you, even..." He deliberately prolonged his voice, trying to attract the attention of Hiiragi Shinsuke.

"Oh? What does that strange person look like?" Hiiragi Shinsuke's interest was successfully aroused.

After a moment's thought, Shengjia began to describe Shao Yun's image.

"That strange man is tall and burly. He wears a black hat, a brown coat, and a blue lining. He is very arrogant and domineering. Do you want to..."

As Katsuie described, Hiiragi Shinsuke's eyes gradually brightened. He stood up suddenly, and because of his violent movements, he even needed the support of two maids to stand steadily.

"You mean, the tall man with a black hat and a brown coat with a blue lining?"

Shengjia nodded in confirmation, adding: "That's right, Master. And this strange man is extremely arrogant. Do you think..."

It seemed as if Hiiragi Shinsuke had not heard the second half of Katsuie's words. His heart was already filled with joy and anticipation. He could not wait to ask, "Where is the person?"

Shengjia quickly pointed outside the door: "I'm waiting in the yard outside now."

Upon hearing this, Hiiragi Shinsuke could no longer hold back his excitement. He took a step and hurried out the door, saying as he walked, "I'll go meet this strange man right away!"

It's not that Shinsuke Hiiragi admires Shao Yun, but he had already learned from the Fatui that Shao Yun and others were coming to Inazuma, and the executive officer "Madam" instructed him to kill Shao Yun, Ying, and Paimon.

As long as he completes this task, the lady promised Hiiragi Shinsuke that she would make the Hiiragi family the number one family in Inazuma and enjoy the treatment of being second to none.

Katsuie was stunned by the sudden change, and before he could react, Hiiragi Shinsuke's figure had quickly disappeared from his sight.

……

In the courtyard of the Hiiragi family, the wound on Kurisu's thigh opened again, blood gushed out, and his face was distorted with pain.

Seeing this, Shao Yun, in line with the principle of helping people to the end, took out a bottle of "healing medicine" from his backpack and handed it to Kurisu.

"Here, drink the medicine. It has healing properties. After drinking it, your wound will no longer hurt."

Jiulixu took the medicine bottle with trembling hands and said gratefully: "Mr. Shao Yun, thank you so much."

Shao Yun shook his head slightly, a helpless smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

"If you really want to thank someone, thank you for the Mora. Without money, I wouldn't help you."

Upon hearing this, Kurisu gave a wry smile, then pulled out the cork from the medicine bottle and drank it all in one gulp.

The bitter medicine instantly filled his mouth, but then, a warm current surged from the wound, the pain instantly dissipated, and the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Just as Kurisu was immersed in shock and joy, the figure of Hiiragi Shinsuke appeared before him.

Hiiragi Shinsuke hurried out of the room, and after his eyes stayed on Shao Yun for a moment, a bright smile broke out on his face.

However, before he could say hello to Shao Yun, Jiulixu blocked his way like a flash of lightning. He bowed respectfully, with a bit of flattery in his tone.

"Hello, Master Hiiragi. I am 'Kurisu', the president of the Wan Guo Chamber of Commerce. We have met before. Do you remember?"

Hiiragi Shinsuke's expression suddenly turned gloomy. He glanced at Kurisu coldly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

"Oh? It's you. Where's this month's taxes? Why haven't you paid them yet?"

When he heard about taxes, Kurisu's face turned awkward and he forced a smile.

"I was just about to talk to you. I beg you to be gracious and delay the collection for a few days, or reduce the amount a little, so that we can take a breath. We promise that in a few days..."

However, Hiiragi Shinsuke interrupted him before he could finish.

"Taxes are not something we can take lightly. Not at all..."

Without waiting for Hiiragi Shinsuke to finish his words, Shao Yun took two steps forward and stood behind Kurisu, staring into his eyes.

This sudden action made Hiiragi Shinsuke slightly stunned and his heart was beating fast.

"Could this guy have discovered what happened between me and the lady?"

Shao Yun's eyes were fixed on Hiiragi Shinsuke, the lackey of the Fatui executive "Madam". He couldn't help but harbor murderous intentions and wondered whether he should take the opportunity to eliminate this great threat.

Kurisu, who was completely unaware of the undercurrents of thought between the two, pleaded anxiously, "Master Hiiragi, I beg you to continue like this..."

Seeing that Shao Yun had not made any move, Hiiragi Shinsuke thought that Shao Yun just didn't like Kanjo Bugyo. He turned his eyes slightly and planned to establish a good relationship with Shao Yun first, and then set up the "Hongmen Banquet".

So he pretended to be generous and agreed to Kurisu's request.

"Okay, in that case, I'll make the decision. Your taxes will be reduced by half, and you can defer payment for half a month."

When Kurisu heard this, an expression of disbelief and astonishment appeared on his face. He never expected that Hiiragi Shinsuke would agree to his request so easily. He quickly leaned over to thank him, his voice full of gratitude.

"Ah? Ah! Thank you for your generosity, Master Hiiragi!"

Shao Yun was standing aside, secretly surprised that all this could be resolved so easily?

Seeing that Hiiragi Shinsuke was so straightforward, Kurisu took the opportunity to make another request.

"Well, Master Hiiragi, we have a small businessman here named Harrison. He was detained in the Kanjo Bugyoso for a minor matter. Do you think it is possible to..."

"That's not a problem." Hiiragi Shinsuke smiled and interrupted Kurisu. He then called a samurai and ordered, "Go and invite Mr. Harrison out."

The warrior took the order and left. Not long after, he returned to the crowd with Harrison, who was bruised and dying.

Seeing this, Kurisu hurried forward to support Harrison's shaky body and called out anxiously: "Mr. Harrison, wake up!"

Harrison slowly opened his swollen eyes at Kulisu's call and said in confusion: "I... I, I don't have any money..."

After dealing with Kurisu's affairs, Hiiragi Shinsuke slowly turned around, a smile appeared on his lips, and he said softly to Shao Yun: "Excuse me, this gentleman..."

However, Shao Yun was obviously unwilling to communicate with this lackey of the Fatui and was thinking of drawing his gun and shooting him dead immediately.

But then he thought that the main purpose of this trip was to make money, not to kill people. It would not be too late to kill the old man after Jiulixu paid off his reward.

Shao Yun snorted coldly and turned away.

Seeing this, Kurisu hurriedly supported Harrison and quickly caught up with Shao Yun. At the same time, he did not forget to turn back to cast a grateful look at Hiiragi Shinsuke and thank him repeatedly.

"Oh, I'm so grateful. Thank you for your help, Master Hiiragi!"

Hiiragi Shinsuke looked at Shao Yun's departing back, the smile on his lips gradually froze, and then turned into a haze.

"Your Excellency is right. You are indeed an arrogant and rude person. I was planning to be polite to you, but now it seems that I have saved myself the unnecessary trouble."

After saying that, Hiiragi Shinsuke coughed lightly, and a servant quietly walked out of the Hiiragi family mansion and stood respectfully in front of Hiiragi Shinsuke.

Hiiragi Shinsuke's eyes were cold as he gave cruel orders to the servants.

"When they sleep, burn down the International Chamber of Commerce and kill this ignorant fellow and his companion. We must complete the mission entrusted to us by the lady."

Upon hearing this, the servant nodded his head and turned to leave.

As Shinsuke Hiiragi looked at the servant's departing back, he felt an indescribable sense of pleasure in his heart.

"No matter how powerful and famous you are in Mondliyue, if you dare to step into my territory, you will die."

As expected, when people get old, they either become "smart" or become confused. It is obvious that Hiiragi Shinsuke is the latter.

……

Shao Yun and Kulisu, each holding one arm, brought Harrison, who was covered in wounds and almost unrecognizable, back to the International Chamber of Commerce.

Jiulixu arranged for someone to quickly settle him down, then turned to Shao Yun, clasped his hands together, his eyes sparkling with gratitude, and said excitedly: "Thank you so much, without you, we small vendors would be miserable, thank you so much."

Upon hearing this, Shao Yun rubbed his fingers together gently, reminding Kurisu of his previous promise.

"President Kurisu, regarding the reward you mentioned..."

Upon hearing this, Jiulixu quickly took out the bag of Mora from his arms and handed it to Shao Yun, promising: "Of course, this is what you deserve. Moreover, from now on, 30% of the profits earned by all members of the International Chamber of Commerce in their business will belong to you."

Shao Yun took Mora and gave him what he deserved, and then he put forward his own conditions.

"Okay, from now on, the profits will be paid to a person named 'Tacitus Kilgore' in the Adventurer's Guild. Then, let Miss Catherine of the Adventurer's Guild transfer the money to 'Ying' through the name of Tacitus Kilgore."

Upon hearing this, Jiulixu quickly nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry, I'll arrange everything right away."

When Gurisu was about to leave the International Chamber of Commerce, he ran into Thomas who had disappeared for three days.

When Jiulisu saw Thomas, he was stunned at first, then he immediately shook his hand and said warmly: "Mr. Thomas, I didn't expect you to come. I'm sorry for not being able to greet you from afar!"

Thomas saw the joyful face of Kulisu and smiled warmly, saying, "Ah, President Kulisu, hello. I have something to discuss with Mr. Shao Yun, you see..."

Jiulixu quickly stepped aside to make way for Thomas to see Shao Yun, and then said politely: "Mr. Shao Yun is over there. I have some things to deal with here, so I won't keep you company any longer."

After saying this, Jiulixu quickly left the International Chamber of Commerce to fulfill the conditions proposed by Shao Yun.

Shao Yun looked at Thomas, waved his hand lightly, and asked calmly: "Thomas, how is the situation going?"

Thomas walked up to Shao Yun, scratched his head a little awkwardly, and nervously told him about the plans for tonight.

"Mr. Shao Yun, after some efforts, I have successfully bribed the guards on the outlying island leading to Mingshen Island. There will be a precious ten-minute gap during the shift change at 12 o'clock tonight. We can use this opportunity to leave the outlying island first and go to the Mulou Teahouse in Inazuma City. We will plan the rest later."

When Shao Yun heard Thomas's plan, his face darkened. "In three days, you have done so little? I thought you had given me some kind of all-round pass to Inazuma!"

You are not even as good as that little girl Hiiragi Chisato!

"In three days, you've only accomplished this? You want us to sneak away during the shift change? You're dithering, I'll beat you to death!"

Shao Yun became more and more excited as he spoke, and he raised his fist and was about to attack Thomas.

Thomas hurriedly explained: "Mr. Shao Yun, please calm down. As the saying goes, good steel should be used on the blade. We should use the funds on really important things, such as meeting the general."

After listening to Thomas's explanation, Shao Yun's anger did not subside, but became even more annoyed. He punched Thomas and knocked him to the ground.

"I didn't fucking ask you to save money! You want us to sneak away from the 'island' like thieves? If I wanted to leave with Ying and Paimon, I would have left long ago. Why would you have to do this?"

Thomas lay on the ground, covering his cheek that was hit by Shao Yun, and apologized humbly.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Shao Yun, I promise that everything will go smoothly from now on, and we will definitely be able to meet General Lei Dian, please calm down."

Shao Yun's anger did not subside for a while. He kicked Thomas lying on the ground fiercely and roared: "If it weren't for Beidou's face, you would be a corpse now!"

After saying that, he kicked Thomas mercilessly again.

Thomas lay on the ground, covering his face with one hand and his stomach with the other, not daring to move.

After Shao Yun's anger subsided a little, he looked at Thomas on the ground and pulled him up with mixed feelings.

Thomas's left cheek was swollen like a ripe apple due to Shao Yun's heavy punch. Shao Yun threw him a bottle of healing medicine and asked impatiently, "What time do you leave tonight?"

Thomas held the medicine bottle in one hand and touched his swollen cheek with the other hand, and explained: "We set off from the International Chamber of Commerce at 11 o'clock in the evening, and then we waited at the checkpoint between the outlying island and Mingjin Island."

"During the shift change, we will take the opportunity to rush over, and the society's clerks will pick us up. After that, we will talk again."

Shao Yun clenched his fists, and his joints made crisp sounds.

"If you dare to waste my precious time again, I will make you experience a pain you have never experienced before - hanging yourself with your own intestines!"

Seeing this, Thomas nodded quickly and assured him.

"Mr. Shao Yun, don't worry, everything will be fine after we leave the island..."
