Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

As time passed, Ying and Paimon took Klee, the Mond arms dealer, to meet with the Inazuma arms dealer.

Albedo completed the portraits of "Emerald Light" and "Aoi".

As expected, the person who stole the books from the warehouse was Onodera from Yaedo.

The reason is very simple. Onodera was going to have a "signing event", but he was deceived by the words that Xingqiu had carefully prepared.

Now that he knew Xingqiu's handwriting...it would be troublesome if it got exposed.

After everything was explained, Xingqiu was locked up on the second floor of Wuyou Pavilion and began to practice calligraphy...

As for Shao Yun, he basically stayed in the Far Country Supervisory Office and took advantage of Yajendo.

……

In the early morning, the sun had just risen and the golden light was shining on the outlying island.

Shao Yun walked out of the room of Yuanguo Supervisory Office. Yuanguo Supervisory Office became Shao Yun’s temporary "hiding place", where he rested at night.

Shao Yun walked outside, found a chair to sit down, and killed time with a light novel in his hand.

The breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness.

Suddenly, a maple leaf fell with the wind and happened to fall on the page of the book he was reading.

Shao Yun was slightly stunned, then reached out and took the maple leaf in his hand.

He held up the maple leaf and looked at it carefully in the soft morning sunlight.

The maple leaf is like a burning flame, with bright colors.

Shao Yun whispered, "Maple Leaf? Could it be that Fengyuan Wanye will come here?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing out loud, and said self-deprecatingly: "What on earth am I thinking about! According to the current timeline, he should be waiting at the port of the offshore island for Ying and Paimeng to receive his guest."

However, fate is always full of wonderful coincidences.

Just as Shao Yun was about to continue reading the light novel, a familiar voice clearly reached his ears.

"Hello, Mr. Shao Yun."

When Shao Yun heard Wan Ye's voice, his eyes widened and he whispered in disbelief: "No way? Is my mouth really that smart?"

Then, Shao Yun used the maple leaf as a bookmark and sandwiched it between the pages of the book.

Then he gently placed the book on the table beside him and looked at Manye with a level gaze.

After all, there was no deep hatred or complicated entanglement between Shao Yun and Fengyuan Manye, they were just ordinary acquaintances.

Seeing Wan Ye taking the initiative to greet him, Shao Yun naturally responded with courtesy and smiled and said, "Wow, long time no see, Wan Ye!"

Wan Ye came up to Shao Yun, with a friendly smile on his face, and started to greet him.

"I heard you were here, so I thought I'd come over to see you and say hello."

So that's what it is. Shao Yun nodded in sudden realization and then stood up.

He took off his hat, performed a standard hat-offing salute, and said politely: "Thank you very much for coming to visit me, Manye. How have you been recently?"

Manye thought for a moment and answered frankly, "Before I participated in the Rongcai Festival, the shogunate had already rescinded the warrant for my arrest. So I went to Inazuma Castle first."

"After that, I went to pay my respects to my dear friend, and of course, Kujo Sara..."

When he said this, a complicated look appeared in his eyes, but he quickly returned to his usual composure.

Next, Manye began to elaborate on his views and thoughts about Kujo Sara.

Now that Kujo Sara is dead, Manye was more careful when speaking and didn't say anything too harsh.

"To be honest, I really don't understand her behavior of aiding and abetting evil. But, well... I think it's useless to judge her too much."

When Shao Yun heard Wan Ye's remarks, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

He was secretly wondering in his heart, why is it that instead of mentioning Baalzebub, the topic is brought up again with the Nine-Jones Sara?

Could it be that this was a revengeful act taken by Kujo Sara against himself?

In the eyes of others, perhaps everyone just chatted about the two of them casually;

However, for Shao Yun, he always heard about it every now and then, which really made him feel quite annoyed.

Afterwards, Shao Yun quickly changed the subject and expressed his feelings sincerely.

"Manye, you've had a very fulfilling life. By the way, since you're here, where's Miss Beidou? Is she here to attend the Rongcai Festival as well?"

When Wan Ye heard that Shao Yun was asking him about Beidou's news, he answered honestly.

"No, recently, the shogunate has introduced a tax incentive policy for Kaijima. The specific content seems to be about the reduction of export taxes..."

"Big Sister accepted a commission from Xinhai of the Coral Palace to help Haizhi Island export the 'Coral Pearls' to Liyue, so she has no time to attend the Rongcai Festival."

Shao Yun had no idea that this was actually part of a secret deal reached between Coral Palace Xinhai and Yajen Shenzi.

He merely regarded it as a good deed by the Eightfold Divine Son to help the revival and prosperity of Kaiji Island.

Shao Yun didn't think too much about it, and said calmly: "Okay, I originally had something else I wanted to tell her."

Hearing this, Wan Ye was aroused by Shao Yun's words and asked, "What is it? Can you tell me? I can pass it on to Sister Beidou."

Shao Yun answered truthfully: "It's about me, Ying, and Paimeng leaving Inazuma. You know, we still have to go to the next country and can't stay in Inazuma forever."

The navigation technology of the Beidou fleet is impeccable, so Shao Yun hopes to leave Inazuma on the Si Zhaoxing.

Moreover, safety issues can also be avoided.

After listening to Shao Yun's words, Wan Ye suddenly realized and nodded to show that he understood.

"Oh, I see. I'm sure Big Sister would be happy to give you a ride, just like she brought you to Inazuma."

At this point, Wan Ye suddenly thought of something important, and then told Shao Yun in detail about the Death Star's next sailing plan.

"However, the Death Star has no plans to go to Xumi. Is it acceptable to send you back to Liyue?"

Wan Ye asked Shao Yun in an inquiring tone.

After hearing this, Shao Yun nodded slightly to show his agreement.

"That's enough. Please tell Miss Beidou when you have a chance, Manye. As for the specific time, it may be after the Rongcai Festival is over."

Wan Ye agreed without hesitation and replied with a smile: "No problem, I will pass it on to the big sister for you."

Shao Yun thanked him gratefully.

“Thank you so much!”

Wan Ye and Shao Yun continued chatting for a while.

After that, Manye said goodbye and left.

Watching Wan Ye's back gradually walking away, Shao Yun guessed that he was going to promote the development of a certain plot and did not think too much about it.

He soon refocused his attention on that wonderful light novel by Yaedou.

……

As time went by, the editors of Yaedou under the command of Tokoku Kenji were busy preparing for the book signing event, that is, the grand plan of Yaedou's editor Onodera, the "book signing event for book fans".

It seems that Kaedehara Manye's suggestion has been adopted and the signing event can be held as normal.

……

"The stuff has been delivered."

"Ms. Kuki Shinobu, thank you so much. Here is your reward."

……

Shao Yun was leisurely reading a light novel that was fun and entertaining, immersed in the wonderful storyline.

Suddenly, the three words "Kyuki Shinobu" came out of the mouth of a Yaedo editor.

Shao Yun put down the book in his hand and looked at the figure not far away. The figure had green hair, similar to Xiao Gong's hairstyle. Was it Jiu Qi Shinobu?

Shao Yun opened his mouth to greet them.

"Ms. Kuki Shinobu?"

When Jiuqi Ren heard Shao Yun's voice, she turned around immediately. When her eyes met Shao Yun, she took the initiative to greet him.

"Mr. Shao Yun, what a coincidence, I can meet you here."

Shao Yun focused his attention on the package held in the hands of the editor opposite Jiuqi Shinobu, and responded: "Hello, Miss Jiuqi Shinobu. Are you... on a delivery mission?"

Shao Yun looked at the scene in front of him and suddenly thought of the Mint House? Pfft, the courier "Qiliangliang" from Komaheya.

I came to Inazuma, but I haven't seen her yet. Could it be that she was trapped outside and on field work because of the lockdown? It's possible!

Jiuqi Shinobu nodded, gently brushed off the dust on his hands, and replied: "Yes, it is true."

After all, it was not nice to disturb someone who was working, so Shao Yun stopped making unnecessary small talk.

He simply and sincerely advised: "Then work hard, and remember not to tire yourself out."

After hearing this, Jiuqi Ren reached out and gently smoothed the strands of green hair on her forehead, and thanked her softly.

"Thank you for your concern. And..."

Having said this, Jiuqi Shinobu paused slightly, as if he had something to say to Shao Yun but found it difficult to speak out, leaving people with a feeling that he was thoughtful and hesitant.

Shao Yun looked at Jiuqi Shinobu's expression as if he wanted to say something but couldn't, and couldn't help but find it a little funny, so he said jokingly.

"Hey, could it be that Yidou is coming to seek revenge on me? And then you want to persuade me to hide quickly and never have a conflict with Yidou?"

In Shao Yun's opinion, there seems to be no other more reasonable explanation at the moment.

After hearing this, Kuki Shinobu silently adjusted the "mask" on her face and replied.

"Regarding the matter of the boss looking for trouble with you... I personally think that it shouldn't happen so soon!"

Seeing that it was not Yidou who was causing trouble, Shao Yun became more and more confused and asked hurriedly, "Since it is not Yidou's problem, why do you seem to be hesitant to speak? What is going on?"

After hesitating for a moment, Jiuqi Shinobu finally told the whole story of how he led Arataki Ito and the entire Arataki faction to visit the Rongcai Festival a few days ago.

Originally, Arataki Ichito was infected by the cheerful atmosphere of the festival, and he returned to his usual carefree, bold and free-spirited state.

However, just as he walked to a shop selling fox dolls, Ichito suddenly discovered the precious figure of "Gotemura Naruto no Sukiya Statue" which had become semi-out of print.

At that time, Yidou made up his mind to work on the outlying islands during the festival to earn money so that he could buy the figurine as a sacrifice to Sara.

After listening to this, Shao Yun felt a little strange. He didn't expect that he would not drink soy milk because he was allergic, but instead go buy action figures. This was too strange.

But if you think about it carefully, you can understand it. After all, when he was alive, Saara really liked things related to the god of thunder. Ito must have known about Saara's preferences during the funeral.

"Then let me make a wild guess. Do you want me to buy a statue of the Great God of Takenami-jin and give it to Ichito so that we can reconcile?"

Jiu Qi Shinobu shook his head slightly, muttering to himself.

"It would be great if things were as simple as you say."

Then she mustered up the courage to speak out her true thoughts.

"In fact, our entire Aradaki sect is willing to help the boss buy that thing."

"However, as I mentioned to you before, all of the funds of the Aratake faction were invested in Saara's funeral. Money is tight and there is no money for it."

At this point, Jiuqi Shinobu paused for a moment, feeling a little embarrassed to speak, but continued, "Besides, I am too embarrassed to ask my family for money."

"So, I wonder if you could lend me some Mora? Don't worry, I will definitely return it to you!"

When Shao Yun heard that Jiuqi Shinobu actually asked to borrow money from him, he was stunned for a moment and his mind went blank.

After a moment, he came back to his senses and asked incoherently: "I thought you would only use odd jobs at the Rongcai Festival to earn money to buy that figure..."

Shao Yun paused slightly, and after a short pause, he organized his thoughts and words.

"My thoughts are like this. From what I know about you, I think you are definitely not that kind of person. Um... you know, the kind of person who would borrow money."

"Besides, if you really want to borrow money, why did you choose to borrow from me?"

Jiuqi Shinobu faced the series of questions raised by Shao Yun and explained them one by one slowly and steadily.

"In fact, I had the same opinion as you at the beginning. Now, our Aratake faction has taken advantage of the opportunity of the Rongcai Festival held on the outlying island, and everyone is working hard to do odd jobs to earn money."

"However, that limited edition figurine is quite expensive! Besides, our boss really wants to use that item to pay tribute to Sara."

After all, it's something that's about to be out of print. It would be terrible if someone got there first.

When asked why she suddenly thought of asking Shao Yun to borrow money, Jiuqi Shinobu felt a little embarrassed. She scratched her head gently and continued.

"As for why I came to you to borrow money, it was just a sudden thought..."

At this moment, several images emerged uncontrollably in Shao Yun's mind again, all of which were about scenes like "lending money and more sins".

His eyes gradually became dazed, and he fell into deep memories, and was unable to respond for a long time.
