Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Jiuqi Ren took in the entire scene before his eyes and couldn't help but secretly groan in his heart, fearing that Shao Yun would be angry because of this.

So she quickly spoke to comfort him, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Shao Yun. Our eldest son's views on many things are sometimes as childish and ridiculous as a child. Please don't take it to heart."

Shao Yun smiled slightly, appearing very open-minded and cheerful. He gently waved his hand to show that he didn't care, and responded in a calm tone.

"It's okay, this little thing is nothing." Obviously, he had no intention of competing with Araki.

When Jiuqi Ren saw that Shao Yun was not angry, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. After relaxing a little, he responded to the question Shao Yun had just raised.

"The boss was here just now, so I couldn't say much. Now I will answer your question. I feel sorry for the death of Master Jiujo. But as you said, there are always casualties in wars, and birth, aging, illness and death are all common things."

After saying that, Jiuqi Shinobu moved his gaze to the coffin, and couldn't help but sighed, and said with emotion: "If I really want to blame someone, perhaps I can only lament that fate has never been kind to Master Kujo."

Shao Yun also looked at the coffin, pursed his lips, and said slowly: "I don't regret killing Jiu Tiao Sha Luo, but under the circumstances at that time, even if I didn't kill her, she would probably commit suicide later."

Jiuqi Shinobu keenly sensed that there seemed to be a deeper meaning in this, and hurriedly asked: "What do you mean by this?"

Shao Yun explained the situation to Jiuqi Shinobu.

He broke Kujo Sara's knee, making her lose her ability to fight. He wanted to let her go, but she held on to his trouser legs tightly.

She was determined to stop Shao Yun, and even though Shao Yun gave her a way out, she refused.

In the end, Shao Yun helped Kujo Sara become a martyr.

After Jiuqi Shinobu learned the whole story, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, his face full of helplessness, and muttered to himself: "So that's how it is, Sara..."

Shao Yun stared at the cold and silent coffin of Kujo Sara, slowly repeating what happened at that time.

"I broke her legs, thinking she would just collapse to the ground helplessly, silently waiting for an explanation for everything."

"But what I didn't expect was that she was so determined that she would rather die than live in disgrace."

"Faced with her strong temper, I had no other choice but to harden my heart and send her on her way."

After saying this, Shao Yun was silent for a while.

Jiuqi Shinobu shook his head gently, his eyes revealing deep sadness and regret.

"This is indeed in line with Master Kujo's usual personality."

"It's just that, ah... I really don't know what words to use to describe the feelings in my heart at this moment."

After saying this, the two of them just stared at Kujo Sara's coffin quietly.

After a while, Shao Yun seemed to suddenly remember something and asked Jiu Qi Ren: "Oh, by the way! By the way, you have been helping with work on the island for a while, how are you doing?"

Hearing this question, Jiuqi Shinobu was slightly startled, but still answered truthfully: "Well, I did make a lot of money, but..."

At this point, she paused for a moment.

Then, Jiuqi Shinobu pointed his finger at the offerings and the dazzling array of funeral supplies placed in the room, and spoke slowly.

"But... most of the Mora was transformed into these objects used for memorial services, which of course also included the cost of inviting the shrine maidens from the Narugami Taisha Shrine to hold a grand funeral."

When Shao Yun heard this, he was stunned at first, his body trembled slightly, and he blurted out the words almost instinctively.

"what?"

Seeing this, Jiuqi Ren realized that Shao Yun still had some doubts in his mind, so he patiently and carefully explained it to him further.

"This is the request made by the boss. He asked me to discuss with the Narujin Taisha Shrine, the Tenryo Bugyo, and the Shrine Bugyo for a solemn funeral for Master Kujo."

"All expenses are borne by the boss alone. Although nominally the boss is the only one paying for it, how can all of us members of the Arawaki faction watch the boss pay for it alone?"

"So, all the money we earned from helping on the outlying islands was invested in Kujo Sara's funeral."

"But this is what we should do. Without Sara's help, we wouldn't have earned this much money. It's reasonable to spend it all on the funeral."

After listening to this, Shao Yun nodded thoughtfully, feeling deeply moved.

"I see."

Then, Shao Yun slowly reached into the "Eastern Legend Backpack".

After a moment, he successfully took out a heavy bag from it, which was bulging and full of Mora.

Shao Yun handed the bag to Jiuqi Shinobu, with a glimmer of sincerity and respect in his eyes.

"Here, this is a small gift from me. Consider it as a memorial gift to Kujo Sara. To be honest, I don't know how much money is in it."

Jiuqi Shinobu widened his eyes and looked at the bag of money handed to him by Shao Yun.

With years of experience and keen intuition, she roughly estimated the amount of money in the bag.

At least 800,000 Mora! This is not a small amount!

She was secretly amazed in her heart, and at the same time quickly waved her hand to refuse this overly generous gift.

"Mr. Shao Yun, there's really no need to do this..."

However, Shao Yun did not back down because of Jiuqi Ren's rejection.

He gently placed the purse at Hisahi Shinobu's feet, then raised his hand and pointed to the coffin where Kujo Sara's body was placed not far away.

"The money is not important to me, it just means I respect a former rival."

Shao Yun's words were concise and clear, leaving Jiuqi Ren no chance to refuse.

Jiuqi Shinobu looked down at the purse at his feet, then looked up at the coffin in front of him, and his eyes finally fell on Shao Yun.

At this moment, her expression became extremely complicated, with emotion, confusion, and a hint of indescribable understanding.

After a moment of silence, Jiuqi Shinobu took a deep breath and said, "To be honest, although we haven't known each other for a long time, let me tell you how I feel."

"I found that maybe you are not as evil as the rumors say. At least when it comes to killing people, I can feel that you are actually quite restrained."

Shao Yun couldn't help but feel very surprised when he heard Jiuqi Shinobu's unexpected comment.

He asked curiously: "Oh? Why do you think so?"

Obviously, Jiuqi Shinobu's opinion was beyond his expectations and also aroused his curiosity deep in his heart.

Jiuqi Shinobu took a deep breath and his thoughts returned to the heart-wrenching moment a week ago.

She slowly told Shao Yun everything she had witnessed on the outlying island.

"Not long ago, some people from Inazuma City fled to the outlying islands in panic. They spread horrifying news that Inazuma City would suffer a catastrophic disaster, a raging fire would devour the city, and all those who stayed in the city would die. However, today, when we look back, we can find that the overall situation does not seem to be that bad..."

Having said that, Jiuqi Shinobu subconsciously touched her chin. After thinking for a moment, she felt that perhaps the word "peaceful" could be used to describe the current situation in Inazuma Castle.

"Well, how should I put it? It's indeed quite peaceful." She murmured softly, seeming quite satisfied with the word.

Indeed, except for those who have fallen into depravity and become thieves and robbers, most of the residents of Inazuma Castle today still live as before, peacefully and tranquilly.

Shao Yun listened quietly to Jiuqi Shinobu's narration, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself in his heart.

"You should thank Ying. If it weren't for her, I would have burned Inazuma Castle to the ground and killed all the survivors, and immersed myself in the 'eternity' of death with the Thunder God."

In the final analysis, Shao Yun still did not massacre the city or burn the houses.

For Jiuqi Shinobu, this just shows that Shao Yun is not a hopeless person.

Shao Yun raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and continued to explain.

"A girl once told me that I must not let Inazuma Castle turn into a sea of ​​fire. If she hadn't advised me... Inazuma Castle would have been burned down by me long ago."

Jiuqi Shinobu listened quietly, then nodded slightly, and then said softly: "However, this just proves that you have not fallen to the point of no return."

"In the deepest corner of your heart, you still have the desire to be a good person, and that is why you are able to listen to the advice of others."

"If you have no chance of redemption, then no matter how earnestly others persuade you, it will be difficult to shake your heart in the slightest."

Shao Yun was confused when he heard this and asked, "According to you, do you think I am a good person?"

Jiuqi Shinobu thought for a moment, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he answered while scratching his head gently.

"To be precise, you are not what is generally considered a 'good person'."

"But, in my opinion, you have not completely lost your conscience and kindness. At least at certain moments, you can still show compassion."

Then, Shinobu Kuki continued her analysis based on the experience and knowledge she had accumulated as a shrine maiden at Narukami Taisha Shrine in the past.

"My intuition tells me that maybe at a critical moment of decision, you went astray;"

"Or perhaps they adopted an inappropriate response strategy when dealing with a particular problem."

After hearing this, Shao Yun remained silent. He just nodded his head silently and sighed in his heart: "I hope so..."

Jiu Qi Ren glanced at the door for a moment, then turned to look at Shao Yun and said softly, "Sorry, I have to go check on the boss first. I'll go first, please forgive me."

After she finished speaking, she walked away to comfort the depressed Arotaki Ichito.

After Jiuqi Shinobu left, Shao Yun's gaze slowly moved to Kujo Sara's coffin, and his eyes gradually became deep.

He stared at the coffin quietly, motionless.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally, Shao Yun made up his mind and walked towards Kujo Sara's coffin.

Coming closer, Shao Yun stretched out his right hand and gently placed it on the coffin lid.

At this moment, Pastor Swanson kept appearing in his mind.

He secretly wondered in his heart, if it were him, how would he express his respect and grief for the deceased?

After careful consideration, Shao Yun took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound solemn and steady, like a real pastor reading a eulogy.

"In your short life, you have done both good and evil. You have given selflessly, and you have robbed others."

"However, who is without fault in life? No one can guarantee that his life will be flawless."

"Nevertheless, these faults do not in any way obscure the fact that you have become a martyr for your faith, and the fearless courage you have displayed in the face of difficult circumstances is truly admirable."

"Now, for you, the hustle and bustle of the world has faded away, and all the disputes have ended."

"May the grace of the Savior be with you forever. May He forgive your soul and grant you eternal peace and tranquility."

After he finished speaking, Shao Yun slowly withdrew his hand from the coffin.

At this moment, the system, which had not had any communication or interaction with Shao Yun for a long time, unexpectedly popped up two prompt messages.

[A red rose has been successfully distributed to you. ]

[This flower can be used as a symbol of your high respect and deep remembrance for the great martyr, Kujo Sara, who was willing to sacrifice his precious life for the belief in the Thunder God.]

After these two messages popped up, the system fell silent again.

Shao Yun reached into his backpack and took out the bright red rose that looked like a burning flame.

I saw this red rose blooming so brilliantly, like a scorching sun.

Its petals are tightly embraced and layered, and each petal presents an intoxicatingly bright color.

Shao Yun silently placed the bouquet of blood-red roses in his hand gently on top of Kujo Sara's coffin and murmured softly.

"Red rose for the martyrs. May this red rose, representing those who died for their faith, bless you in that eternal resting place."
