Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Chapter 287 The Secret Conversation between the 8th Son of God and the Coral Palace Heart Sea

Just then, Goro's voice came.

"Mr. Shao Yun, please come here for a moment. I have something to tell you."

Shao Yun came to his senses, looked around, and found that Kujo Kamajima had left at some point.

Although he was slightly surprised, he did not think much about it. He walked up to Wu Lang and asked, "What's the matter?"

Goro relayed to Shao Yun the conversation he had just had with Kujo Kamajiro in detail.

"I just had a talk with Mr. Kujo Kamajiro. He said that the Nobushi and Kairanki on Narukami Island are very rampant. He hopes that our resistance army on Kaishi Island can help the shogunate maintain law and order."

When Shao Yun heard this, he was stunned at first, then after he came to his senses, he asked.

"If it's true, the Shogunate Army will exist in name only."

"Perhaps, in the future, the Tenryo Bugyo will be controlled by Kaijima. Doesn't Kujo Kamajima understand the logic behind this?"

As the saying goes, it is easier to invite a god than to send him away. With what Kujo Kamajima did, does he really dare to bet that Kaijima will never replace him and become the new Tenryo Bugyo?

Wu Lang nodded slightly to show his agreement, and then responded.

"Yes, I agree. However, Mr. Kujo Kamajui said that there is no other way."

"As you know, many of the shogunate's soldiers are dead. Moreover, Lord Coral Palace and the chief priest of Narugami Taisha Shrine have discussed this matter before."

"What Lady Coral Palace meant was that she really didn't want to sit back and watch Narukami Island fall into chaos, so... you know."

Shao Yun nodded and then gave his advice.

"Here's a piece of advice for you. Seize this opportunity and gain the greatest benefit for Haizhi Island."

The deep meaning of Shao Yun's words was nothing more than that he wanted the rebel army on Kaijima to directly replace the shogunate army and become the new shogunate army.

After all, they are all Inazuma's people. This is completely different from the Fatui's attempt to take over Mondstadt's defense in the past. Doing so is at best just Inazuma's internal affairs.

After listening to this, Wu Lang didn't understand, but he still vaguely realized something.

"How can I explain this? In my opinion, Lord Coral Palace would not expect this to happen."

Shao Yun patted Wu Lang's shoulder gently and spoke earnestly.

"This is just a suggestion from me. The final decision on whether to implement it is entirely in the hands of you and Xin Hai."

"But no matter what choice you make, don't let the future Haizhidao regret it."

After hearing this, Goro couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. He scratched his furry ears, looked quite embarrassed, and quickly changed the subject.

"Well... let's not talk about this for now. Oh, by the way, Mr. Shao Yun, there is a situation that I think I must tell you about."

Seeing this, Shao Yun hurriedly asked, "What exactly is going on?"

Wu Lang then explained in detail to Shao Yun.

"Just a few days ago, when we were dealing with the gods worshipped on Bayun Island, we unexpectedly discovered a mysterious factory belonging to the Fatui in the southern part of the island."

When Shao Yun heard this, he was stunned. Could this be the legendary Fatui Evil Eye Factory?

The stragglers were arranged there by the lady, and that guy is in danger. I hope no one is hurt!

"Have you ever encountered any dangerous situations in the factory?"

Wu Lang shook his head vigorously to express his denial and replied, "We did not encounter any danger. The Fatui factory was empty. It seemed that they had already evacuated the place in advance."

Shao Yun was relieved to learn that no one was injured. He let out a long sigh and muttered to himself, "That's good. No casualties are good."

Then, Wu Lang's tone suddenly changed, and he said in a deep voice: "However, unexpectedly, we found a lot of remaining documents and materials of the Fatui."

"Through in-depth study and analysis of these documents, we discovered an astonishing secret. It turns out that the Fatui secretly mined the crystallized bone marrow from the remains of the Sea God while we were fighting the Shogunate army!"

"Not only that, they seem to be secretly planning something even more terrifying... The Fatui want to use something called the 'Evil Eye' to poison Haizhi Island!"

At this point, Wu Lang scratched his head suspiciously and muttered to himself, "This is the weird part. No matter how hard we searched, we couldn't find any trace of this 'evil eye' on Haizhi Island. It's really strange."

Shao Yun thought that he had thrown the box containing the evil eye into the sea a long time ago, and he should be able to find it after a few hundred years.

He rubbed his chin subconsciously and responded, "Perhaps they evacuated hastily before they had time to put their plan into practice."

Wu Lang nodded his head repeatedly to show his agreement when he heard this, and echoed, "Master Shanhu Gong also thinks so. Does Mr. Shao Yun think so too?"

Shao Yun's face was as calm as water, and he responded calmly: "Anyway, there is no other explanation, so this is the only reason left."

Shao Yun would never admit that he did it. After all, he not only dealt with the evil eye, but also burned the supplies given by the Fatui. This is what forced Haizhi Island into a desperate situation. Some things cannot see the light of day.

Wu Lang talked about another matter and said, "There is one more matter, which is about the Jiujiao Zhenwu. The remaining bodies of the fallen soldiers have been properly handled. Mr. Shao Yun, you don't have to worry."

When Shao Yun heard about the Nine-Line Formation House, he finally had the time and energy to ask about this matter, and asked, "Oh, I just remembered, how did the Stepping Bellows Sand explode?"

"I remember Ying and Paimon had already dealt with the Royal Shadow Core, but why did it suddenly explode?"

……

At the same time, in the quiet and peaceful Mulou Teahouse.

After Shao Yun left, the Eightfold Son of God was still sitting on his original seat, his eyes closed, as if he had entered a state of meditation.

Time passed quietly, and soon, the wooden door was gently pushed open again.

Accompanied by a pleasant, clear and melodious sound of wind chimes.

Coral Palace Xinhai walked over lightly. He walked slowly to the high chair where Shao Yun had sat before, then sat down steadily, standing side by side with the Eightfold Son of God.

"Ms. Yae, I'm here."

Hearing the voice, Yae Shenzi slowly opened his eyes, turned his head slowly, looked at Shanhu Gong Xinhai beside him, and asked: "Miss Shanhu Gong, I wonder what exactly brought you here this time?"

"Why do you suddenly want to hold such an unofficial meeting with me?"

In response to the question from Yae Shinto, Coral Palace Xinhai smiled and answered in a calm and gentle tone.

"To be honest, I came here this time in the hope of signing a formal peace agreement with the shogunate on behalf of Kaiji Island."

"Before this, I came here specifically to discuss this matter with you so that you can be fully prepared."

Hearing this, Yae Shinto couldn't help but slightly widen her beautiful eyes, and raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a meaningful smile.

"Peace is naturally a good thing, but I remember that in the last 'Armistice Agreement', it was clearly stipulated that only after the issue of worshipping gods in the Tatarashi Sand region was properly resolved, would the two sides start a discussion meeting on matters related to signing a peace agreement."

Coral Palace Xinhai shook her head slightly, and then she carefully took out a file bag that looked ordinary but contained a secret.

Then he slowly handed it to Yae Shenzi beside him and said softly: "This is a different time, Miss Yae."

"We on Haizhi Island have gone through great pains to find this document from the deeply hidden evil eye factory of the Fatui on Bayun Island. Please be sure to take a look at it."

Yae Shinto had a look of doubt on his face, but still reached out to take the document handed over by Coral Palace Xinhai.

When she opened the file and her eyes fell upon the contents contained therein, she was stunned for a moment.

It turned out that it was filled with detailed combat records of the Fatui, as well as a large number of densely packed comments left by members of the Fatui.

However, these are not the most critical points.

What really stunned and shocked Yae Shinko was that one of the documents clearly recorded the unknown secret transaction between her and Sanbing.

Even the paper order issued by Sanbing himself to blow up the Yuying furnace was on the list, and it was his own original handwriting!

Yae Shenzi stared at the calm and peaceful Coral Palace in front of him with a face full of shock, and asked in a trembling voice, "What...what is going on? Miss Coral Palace, what exactly do you want to say?"

If Shao Yun knew about this, Inazuma would be finished!

Coral Palace Xinhai took a deep breath, exerted his talents as a military advisor, and spoke slowly.

"Ms. Yae, there is no need to explain the cruelty of war. I believe we are all aware of this. I have always been keen on using wisdom;"

"But you actually made a deal with the Fatui, attempting to hinder the progress of our resistance army by blowing up the Imperial Shadow Core..."

"No matter from which angle you look at it, this approach is gambling with Inazuma's future. It's really too reckless and irresponsible!"

Hearing this, Yae Shinko's face instantly turned gloomy. Her originally charming eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a subtle yet dangerous aura.

She stared at the heart of Coral Palace and asked in a low voice, "Miss Coral Palace, what do you mean by this?"

Facing the fierce gaze of the Eightfold Son of God, Coral Palace's heart did not show the slightest intention of retreating.

The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile, and she replied softly: "In fact, there is no other intention, but only a few people know about this matter. So far, besides you and me, only Wu Lang knows the inside story."

It turned out that the clever Coral Palace Xinhai had already anticipated that something unexpected might happen, so he showed Wulang the relevant documents in advance, and together they worked out a thorough plan to prevent silencing.

Now it seems that this plan has really come in handy.

Because the Eightfold Son of God really had murderous intentions and wanted to get rid of the Coral Palace's heart sea to prevent future troubles.

Originally, Yae Shenzi was ready to take action, but when she heard that Wu Lang knew about this, her heart tightened. She quickly suppressed her impulse and asked with a vigilant look: "So where is Wu Lang now?"

Shanhu Gong Xinhai remained calm and replied in a steady tone, "Wulang is now in the Tianling Fengxing Mansion."

Hearing this answer, the corner of Yae Shinko's eye twitched slightly.

Because she knew that Shao Yun was also in Tianling Fengxing Mansion.

As a result, the situation became extremely difficult.

If he really killed Coral Palace Xinhai, Wulang would definitely tell Shao Yun the truth.

At that time, with Shao Yun's temper, he would really peel off his skin without mercy and make a fox hat for Ying.

At this moment, Yae God Son finally realized why Coral Palace Xinhai insisted on having this informal meeting with him - it turned out that he was using this as a threat!

However, at this point, he had no choice but to agree, so he asked, "So, what do you hope to get in exchange for this document?"

Coral Palace Xinhai calmly put his lips close to the ear of Eightfold God Son and whispered softly: "It's not much to ask..."

Then Coral Palace Xinhai whispered his request to the Eightfold Son of God.

After finishing speaking, Coral Palace Xinhai smiled and said, "That's all. Promise me that this secret will not be known by anyone."

Yae Shenzi considered the conditions proposed by Coral Palace Xinhai in his mind, and finally nodded and said: "I agree to your conditions in the name of the third generation of Thunder God, so this document..."

After saying this, Yae Shinko's eyes fell on the document in his hand.

Coral Palace Xinhai glanced casually at the candle on the counter, took the document from Yae Shenzi's hand, and lit the document with the weak candlelight.

The flame of the candle licked the documents in Coral Palace Xinhai's hand.

Under the joint witness of the two, the document burned in Xinhai's hands.

Finally, when the fire was about to burn his hands, Coral Palace Xinhai let go.

The remaining documents were completely reduced to ashes during the fall.

Coral Palace Xinhai said shrewdly: "Now, the only people who know about this deal are you, me, Wu Lang and the man named San Bing."

The Eightfold Son of God narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a trace of vigilance, and asked softly: "Then how can I be sure that you will not tell Shao Yun about this?"

Facing the questioning from the Eightfold Son of God, Coral Palace had already made up his mind.

She raised her lips slightly, revealing a sly smile, and replied: "Don't worry, I have arranged for Wu Lang to tell Shao Yun and put all the blame on the Fatui. This way, we can protect ourselves and make Shao Yun hate the Fatui."

After finishing speaking, Coral Palace Xinhai was afraid that the Eightfold Divine Son would think of killing again, so he added: "Of course, just in case, I also wrote a full twelve secret letters in advance and sent them to the Adventurer Associations of the other six countries."

"If Wu Lang and I meet with an unexpected accident someday, these letters containing the inside story of your transaction with San Bing will be delivered to Ying and Shao Yun."

"By then, I don't need to explain the consequences. You will naturally understand the interests involved."

After saying this, Xinhai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but still did not dare to take it lightly.

After all, the Eightfold Son of God in front of him was by no means an ordinary person, and any carelessness could lead to his death.

She knew very well that this plan was a game of life and death, and any mistake would lead to failure.

Yae Shinto didn't expect that Coral Palace Xinhai had made sufficient preparations, so he was the one who lost.

Finally, he revealed a cold and mocking smile on his face, and said softly: "As expected of you, you are the military advisor of Haizhi Island. At this moment, the Son of God is willing to admit defeat."

Facing the words of the Eightfold Divine Son, Coral Palace's heart showed a faint smile and responded, "Thank you for the compliment. This is just a little trick."

However, despite her humble words, her half-smile showed that she was actually quite proud of her plan.

No matter where Shao Yun is in Teyvat in the future, as long as he and Wu Lang die suddenly, the good days of you, the Eightfold Son of God, will be over.
