Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

At this moment, the window of the building next to him suddenly opened. Xiao Gong stuck his head out, looked at the three people in surprise, and asked softly: "Ying, Paimeng, and... Mr. Tacitus! It turned out to be you, I thought someone was standing outside my bedroom peeping."

Paimon stared at Xiao Gong with wide eyes and asked in surprise: "Xiao Gong?"

It turned out that they had unknowingly arrived at the Naganohara Fireworks Shop!

Xiao Gong looked at the Tianling executive officers in the distance, then looked at the very weak Ying who was supported by Shao Yun, and a trace of worry surged in his heart.

She waved her hand and said softly, "You guys... come in first. Inazuma City is under martial law now, and there are patrols all over the road."

Shao Yun looked at Xiao Gong gratefully and nodded to express his thanks.

Xiao Gong gently opened the door of Naganohara Fireworks Shop and motioned for them to come in.

Shao Yun carefully supported Ying as she walked into the store, and Paimeng followed closely behind.

Afterwards, Xiao Gong took them to the living room of her house.

Due to the martial law, no candles were lit in the Xiao Palace and the entire living room was pitch dark.

Xiao Gong scratched his head a little embarrassedly and explained, "I'm sorry, during the martial law period, the people in charge of Tianling are not allowed to light lights at night. You guys take a seat first, I'll go get some food."

Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng sat obediently on the cushions on the floor of the living room.

Xiao Gong turned and walked into the kitchen, and soon brought out a plate of delicious seaweed senbei and a pot of warm water.

She gently placed the plate on the table, poured a glass of water for everyone, and said enthusiastically, "Come, have something to eat! This seaweed senbei is my favorite snack in the evening. It's really delicious. Come and try it!"

Paimon couldn't wait to pick up a piece of senbei and put it in his mouth. After chewing it for a few times, he showed a satisfied expression and praised it highly: "Wow, it's really delicious! Xiao Gong, your cooking skills are amazing!"

Shao Yun and Ying also tasted the senbei and expressed their approval.

In this dark environment, the crispy chewing sounds and the aroma of food fill the air, making people feel warm and at ease.

Ying and Paimon temporarily forgot about escaping from Inazuma City.

……

Xiao Gong sat aside, carefully observing the three people in front of him, with a hint of nervousness and uneasiness in his eyes.

She pursed her lips tightly, struggling internally whether to ask the question.

Finally, she broke the silence and asked softly, "I heard about what happened at the Eye Hunting Order and on the town street. Is this all true?"

Shao Yun swallowed the food in his mouth, raised his head, looked at Xiao Gong, and nodded slowly.

"Yes, that's true. General Raiden slashed Ying, and Ying was lying on the ground bleeding a lot. I killed General Raiden. Afterwards, I killed all the Okuji who came from the castle tower to chase me in the town. Most of them died, but there should be one or two who survived."

Shao Yun admitted his behavior without any concealment. For him, killing was not something that needed to be concealed.

Xiao Gong frowned slightly, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

She turned to look at Ying, who was leaning against Shao Yun and looked very weak. She opened her mouth to say something, but finally swallowed her words back.

She shook her head helplessly, and turned her concerned eyes back to the three people, and asked: "So, you plan to escape now, right?"

Ying nodded gently, her tone firm but a little tired: "Yes, we must leave Inazuma Castle and seek refuge on Kaiji Island."

Xiao Gong sighed deeply and said with emotion: "Haizhi Island is indeed a good choice. For you, it may become a peaceful haven..."

Her words revealed her concern and blessing for the future of the three people.

After saying this, Xiao Gong fell into silence, thinking about something.

After eating a few senbei, Ying stood up with the help of Shao Yun and said to Xiao Gong gratefully: "Thank you for your hospitality, Xiao Gong. We will leave immediately and will not cause any trouble for you."

After saying that, she was about to leave with Shao Yun and Paimeng.

Xiao Gong suddenly came to his senses, stood up quickly, and urged anxiously: "Wait a moment, why don't you rest at my house. It's so late, and, Ying, you..."

If Ying wanted to rest, she could rest in the Mulou Teahouse. Time was running out and there could be no delay.

Ying shook her head and said firmly: "No, we must get to Haizhi Island quickly. Thank you Xiaogong for your kindness."

Seeing that he could not persuade you to stay, Xiao Gong was very anxious and quickly suggested: "Well, if that's the case, I will help you leave Inazuma City. It's under martial law now, and it's easy for the Tianling Fengxing to find you if you go out."

She knew very well that the situation was very dangerous and without her help, it would be difficult for the two to leave the city smoothly.

Shao Yun refused, "No need, Miss Xiao Gong, I can just rush out with Ying. Besides, to put it bluntly, you are assisting a wanted criminal..."

To be honest, he didn't want Xiao Gong to get into trouble because of them.

However, Xiao Gong patted his chest and said confidently: "It's okay. I have helped many people escape from Inazuma City and made fake God's Eyes for many people. I have a lot of experience in dealing with people from Tianling Buxing!"

"Besides, with Ying in this state, we should be careful."

Shao Yun was filled with gratitude when he saw Xiao Gong's enthusiasm. He said sincerely, "Well...thank you so much..."

Xiao Gong gently touched his chin, thought seriously for a moment, and slowly said: "Let me think about it, use fireworks to attract away those Tianling Fengxing people who are blocking the road, and then we need to get a small boat..."

At this time, Ying suddenly interrupted and said, "No need to prepare a boat. I have a boat. We just need to lead away the Tianling Bugxing people who are blocking the road. We will go to Ganjin Island first, and then go to Talingsha."

After hearing this, Xiao Gong nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, I'll prepare it right away." After that, she turned around and prepared to leave to distract those people from Tianling's duties.

However, just as Xiao Gong was about to step out of the door, Shao Yun suddenly stopped her and said, "Miss Xiao Gong, wait a moment!"

Xiao Gong stopped, turned to look at Shao Yun, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Shao Yun looked at Xiao Gong and asked in confusion: "You can completely ignore us. I can directly lead Ying and Paimeng to fight. Why are you helping us?"

Xiao Gong smiled slightly, revealing two cute fangs, and answered without hesitation: "Because Ying, Paimon and I are good friends, helping friends is what I should do!"

After saying that, Xiao Gong left the living room and went to help Shao Yun and others lead away those Tianling Fengxing people.

Shao Yun muttered softly: "I'm not worthy of your help..."

……

Afterwards, Shao Yunying and Paimeng carefully hid at the door of Naganohara Fireworks Shop, waiting nervously, hoping that the plan would go smoothly.

Time passed minute by minute, and a few minutes later, there was a sudden loud noise of fireworks exploding in the distance, accompanied by Xiao Gong's shouting with a pinched throat and a changed tone.

"Someone come! Something happened!"

This shout, coupled with the roar of the explosion, immediately attracted the attention of many Tianling Fengxing members.

The members of the Tianling Bugyo who were blocking the road ahead looked at each other in bewilderment. They didn't want to leave their posts, but the team leader said foolishly, "What happened? Let's go and take a look!"

Immediately afterwards, a chaotic sound of footsteps was heard outside the Naganohara Fireworks Shop, and then everything returned to calm.

Shao Yun gently opened the door, and just as he expected, the Tianling Fengxing who had blocked his way had disappeared.

He turned to Ying and Paimeng and said, "Ying, Paimeng, let's go!"

……

The three quickly left and crossed the shallows to reach Gangin Island.

The moonlight shines on the sea, creating silver ripples.

The ocean breeze blew gently, bringing with it a salty scent and the sound of waves lapping against the shore.

On such a quiet night, Ying brought Shao Yun and Paimeng here.

Normally, Gangin Island would be brightly lit and bustling, but due to the declaration of martial law, the entire island seemed exceptionally quiet.

The once bustling stalls are now empty, and no one is interested in the dazzling array of goods on the stalls. The sound of waves in the distance and the night breeze interweave, telling the story of the bustle of the past and the depression of today.

"Shao Yun, turn around and don't peek." Ying said to Shao Yun mysteriously.

Shao Yun felt that this familiar word made him feel kind, just like Ying at the beginning, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "What are you going to do?"

Ying urged anxiously, "Don't worry about it."

Shao Yun turned around helplessly and suddenly heard the sound of a heavy object falling into the water.

He quickly turned around and saw a familiar yet unfamiliar "wave boat" appear before him.

Shao Yun joked, "Ying, where did your boat come from?"

Ying imitated Shao Yun's tone and said jokingly: "Don't ask, just ask the magic of the great wizard Paimon."

Paimeng was stunned. Why did the topic suddenly turn to himself?

Just as Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng were preparing to board the boat, Xiao Gong's voice came from afar.

"wait a minute!"

After hearing the voice, Shao Yun turned to look in the direction where the voice came from, and saw Xiao Gong holding a box and trotting towards them.

She was running out of breath, but with a bright smile on her face.

After she took a breath, she handed the box in her hand to Shao Yun and said, "Luckily you made it in time! This is for you."

Shao Yun carefully opened the lid of the box and saw six ordinary-looking rice balls neatly placed inside.

Xiao Gong scratched his head and smiled sheepishly: "These rice balls are for you to eat as dry food on the road. There are almost no people in Ta'ersha now, so you must take good care of yourselves."

Shao Yun felt very ashamed because she was going to Haizhi Island to bring war, but she chose to help me and gave herself food. Really, I cried to death.

But he couldn't give up because of this feeling of shame, so he could only grit his teeth and express his gratitude.

"Thank you, I...I don't deserve your help like this..." His voice was full of guilt and self-blame.

Xiao Gong smiled and comforted him, "Don't say that. There's no need to be so polite between friends. By the way, you must remember to stay away from the Kujo Jinya, the garrison of the shogunate army. Otherwise, it will be a big trouble if they find you."

After hearing this, Shao Yun nodded vigorously and put the box away. He didn't know what to say.

"Xiao Gong, thank you very much. You should also take care of yourself and be safe." After saying that, Shao Yun boarded Ying's boat and prepared to go to Ta'ersha.

Xiao Gong stood on the shore, quietly watching the boat go away until it disappeared from sight.

She prayed silently in her heart, hoping that Shao Yun and others would be safe.

……

Although the space inside the wave boat is not wide, it is enough to accommodate Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng.

Ying and Paimeng were operating the wave boat, and Shao Yun was feeling restless in the cabin. The space on the wave boat was a bit crowded for Shao Yun, but this painful experience did not last long.

Soon the boat arrived at the beach between Ta'ersha and Jiujiaozhenwu, and Ying got off the boat with Paimeng and Shao Yun.

However, when Shao Yun turned back inadvertently, he was surprised to find that the boat had disappeared without a trace.

He looked at Ying and couldn't help but sigh: "I found that you have learned it very well! I just turned around and the boat disappeared."

Ying covered her completely healed wound, imitated Shao Yun's tone, and said with a smile: "Stop talking nonsense, let's go."

He definitely couldn't leave, so Shao Yun blew a whistle. Ten seconds later, the brown-chestnut Boadicea came running from somewhere and stopped in front of Shao Yun.

Ying looked at the only horse in front of her and asked in confusion: "Shao Yun, where is Bu'er?"

Shao Yun stroked her hair gently and said tenderly, "I don't feel comfortable letting you ride alone now. Come, sit behind me."

Ying nodded, agreed obediently, and reminded: "Then ride slower."

Shao Yun smiled and comforted her.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Shao Yun carefully helped Ying onto the horse's back, and after making sure she was firmly seated, he stepped on the stirrups and sat firmly on the saddle.

He took out the machete that the man in the top hat gave him from his Eastern Legend backpack and held it in his right hand.

Ying looked at the knife Shao Yun took out and asked curiously, "Shao Yun, what are you doing with the knife?"

Shao Yun would not tell Ying that this was the price he had to pay, although he did not know why, but...

He quickly changed the subject and said, "I just showed it off to show off. Okay, don't worry about the details."

He gave the horse a gentle kick in the belly with his toes, and the horse broke into a slow trot.

This time, Shao Yun did not let the horse run, but maintained a relatively slow speed, moving along the beach towards Haizhi Island.

As the horse moves forward, the scenery around Ta'ersha gradually unfolds.

There were many scattered carts on the road, as well as many broken armors and weapons, reminding the three people that a fierce battle had taken place here.

Suddenly, Ying patted Shao Yun on the shoulder from behind, pointed excitedly at the Imperial Shadow Furnace in the sand in front of him, and said excitedly: "Shao Yun, look over there!"

When Shao Yun heard Ying's words, he immediately tightened the reins and stopped the horse.

He turned his head to look in the direction of Tadashisha and asked curiously, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Ying clung to Shao Yun's back, a happy smile on her face. She said happily, "A few days ago, when Paimon and I were adventuring here, we helped a man named Xavier. We solved the problem with the Imperial Shadow Furnace Core here."

Shao Yun looked in the direction Ying pointed and saw that the Yuying furnace had returned to calm. He couldn't help but think of the world quest "Tading Story".

He turned around and praised Ying: "Ying, you did a great job! Do you have any other interesting stories?"

Ying smiled slightly and replied softly: "I will tell you slowly after we arrive at Haizhi Island."
