Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Chapter 316: Preparations before War

Ye Lan was driven to the door of the room by Shao Yun. Shao Yun leaned against the door frame, waved his hand, and spoke in a relaxed tone.

"So, goodbye. Before the Qun Yu Pavilion is built, I will talk to Ying about your commission."

Ye Lan turned around, crossed her arms, and said with a somewhat unhappy expression: "Hey, why are you in such a hurry to send me away! Can't you let me sit down and rest for a while?"

Shao Yun waved his hand, a hint of impatience on his face, and said, "So, do you still want to stay here with me? Logically speaking, you should go and report to Ningguang as soon as possible."

Ye Lan helplessly reached out and touched her forehead, then sighed.

"You are such a killjoy. Can't you just let me take a break here?"

Shao Yun said as he closed the door: "Go away, don't be lazy here, hurry up and leave."

Just when Shao Yun was about to close the door, Ye Lan quickly opened the door and said with a smile: "Wait a minute, can you give me some of your coffee?"

When Shao Yun heard Ye Lan wanted his own coffee, he was stunned. He let go of his hand that was about to close the door and asked in confusion: "What? Didn't you say that the coffee I drink is too bitter?"

Ye Lan nodded, then reached out to Shao Yun for coffee powder, and said, "I want to go back and try the version you mentioned with milk and sugar."

Shao Yun did not hesitate at all. He took out an unopened coffee can from the Eastern Legend backpack and stuffed it into Ye Lan's hand.

"Here you go, let's go."

Ye Lan took the coffee can handed over by Shao Yun, her eyes fell on the words on the can, and she asked curiously: "Where is this coffee produced? The words on it look strange."

Shao Yun replied impatiently: "Do you want it or not? If not, give it back to me."

As he spoke, he pretended to reach out for the coffee can in Ye Lan's hand.

Ye Lan hurriedly took two steps back to avoid Shao Yun's actions.

After putting the coffee can away, she waved her hand slightly and said, "Okay, I got it. I'll leave as soon as possible, but I still hope you can accept my commission."

When Shao Yun heard this, he smiled and said, "It's the same old saying. It depends on whether Ying agrees or not."

Ye Lan listened to Shao Yun talking about Ying all the time, smiled awkwardly, and said, "You talk about Ying all the time, you are really a henpecked husband."

After listening to this, Shao Yun nodded thoughtfully and said, "Thank you for the compliment, but Ying sometimes listens to me."

Ye Lan felt that she smelled a sour smell of love, and fanned her nose with her hands, saying, "Forget it, I'm leaving."

After saying that, he turned and left, disappearing into the inn.

……

After Ye Lan left, Shao Yun sat back on the bed, secretly expecting Ying to come to him smelling fragrant after taking a bath.

However, time passed and Ying never appeared.

Shao Yun couldn't help feeling a little disappointed and helpless. He murmured to himself, "She actually wanted to let me live alone without even coming to comfort me..."

……

In the following days, everything seemed calm and orderly.

Every morning, Ying and Paimon would take Shen He around Liyue Harbor to help her get familiar with this bustling port city.

In addition, we also handle commissions together.

Shao Yunze had nothing to do all day and could only go to check on the construction progress of the Qun Yu Pavilion.

Shao Yun sat under the tree every day, watching the foundation of the Qun Yu Pavilion being built bit by bit, and then slowly rising into the air.

He watched the workers busy working on the Jade Pavilion in mid-air, and watched the constructed frames gradually restored to their original appearance.

A month passed by unknowingly.

Although this time is longer than the twenty days estimated by Baiwen, it is fast enough!

After all, it only took one month to hand-make a Qun Yu Ge brand missile, which is quite impressive efficiency.

At noon that day, Shao Yun was leaning against the tree as usual, staring quietly at the Qun Yu Pavilion in the distance, tied with iron chains and floating in the air.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, casting patches of mottled light on Shao Yun.

At this moment, Ningguang came over gracefully and stopped beside Shao Yun. She followed his gaze and looked towards the Jade Pavilion floating in the air. She said softly, "Mr. Shao Yun, I often see you wandering around here recently."

When Shao Yun heard the voice, he slowly raised his head and greeted Ningguang next to him with a smile: "Hello, Miss Ningguang."

Then, Shao Yun looked up at the Jade Pavilion under construction in mid-air and said with emotion: "Although your secretary Bai Wen said it would take at most 20 days, the construction speed of this Jade Pavilion is indeed amazing. It will be completed in just one month."

Ningguang followed Shao Yun's gaze, then turned her eyes to the east and explained slowly: "After all, things in the ocean are unpredictable, and we must complete the construction of the Qun Yu Pavilion as soon as possible."

Shao Yun decided to reveal the matter of "Ba Che" directly to Ningguang. If Ningguang asked, he could explain that he learned it from Xianyun.

"Is it Ba Che?"

When Shao Yun uttered the name "Bache", Ningguang immediately turned her head and looked at Shao Yun sitting under the tree, opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to ask Shao Yun how he knew the news.

However, she suddenly changed her mind and felt that there was no need to ask too many details. She just nodded and replied, "Yes, it is Ba Che, the 'Remnant of the Vortex', and also Osel's wife."

Shao Yun smiled and pointed at the floating Jade Pavilion, and said jokingly: "So you plan to use the Jade Pavilion to smash Ba Che again? You are really rich!"

Ningguang muttered to herself, Shao Yun was too straightforward in his words!

The Qun Yu Pavilion is clearly an exquisite building, so how come he sounds like it is a powerful weapon?

However, she did not show it, and said confidently: "The last time Liyue was attacked, it was indeed caught off guard, but this time it is different. Liyue Port is fully prepared."

Shao Yun couldn't help but laugh when he heard Ningguang's affirmative words. Apart from the dozen or so crossbows that Keqing had made on the island of Guyun Pavilion, were there any other preparations?

So he smiled and asked, "What kind of perfect preparations are you making? Can you tell me about them?"

However, Ningguang did not answer his question directly. Instead, she took out an envelope with a wax seal and said to Shao Yun mysteriously, "Rather than chatting, I would like to ask you for a small favor."

As she spoke, she deliberately waved the envelope in her hand in front of Shao Yun.

Then, Ningguang continued, "Can you help me deliver this letter to Yuhengxing? She is currently leading the elite troops of the Qianyan Army to deploy a defense line in Guyun Pavilion. Once you get there, you should be able to find her easily."

Shao Yun took the envelope from Ningguang, examined it carefully, and said jokingly, "Don't tell me there's a passage in this letter saying, 'I have traveled around the world and built up quite a reputation for myself.'"

Ningguang was stunned when she heard this. A puzzled look appeared on her face. She asked in confusion, "What?"

Shao Yun shrugged and replied easily: "It's okay, I was just joking."

Ningguang cleared her throat and continued, "Ahem, speaking of which, as for the reward, I will register Mora under the name of Ying of the Adventurer's Association. How about that? Don't worry, Ying and Paimon will be satisfied."

When Shao Yun heard this, he nodded slightly and agreed readily.

"Okay, you really got me by doing this, I agree."

After saying that, Shao Yun stood up and gently brushed the dust off his clothes.

Ningguang smiled and wished, "Good luck."

Having said that, Ningguang did not forget to comment on Shao Yun's new clothes.

"By the way, the new clothes are nice. Are they also made by Qianzhiya of Fontaine?"

After all, Ying's cowboy girl suit was made by Qianzhiwu, so Ningguang preconceived that Shao Yun's Eastern Legend suit was also made by Qianzhiwu.

Shao Yun put the letter into his Eastern Legend backpack, then reached out and gently adjusted the high-quality Great River Valley hat on his head, and said, "Thank you for the compliment, but this is not the work of Qianzhiwu from Fontaine."

Shao Yun didn't explain much and turned to leave.

Suddenly he stopped, turned around, and looked at Ningguang, and asked, "By the way, how are you preparing for the information about Xumi, Miss Ningguang?"

When Ningguang heard about the information about Xumi that she had promised, her eyes narrowed slightly. After thinking for a moment, she replied, "Oh, this is still in the stage of collecting and organizing. Don't worry, I will definitely present the most detailed information to you at the banquet."

Shao Yun nodded slightly to show his approval and said, "Okay, I'm really looking forward to what kind of intelligence you will bring us."

After saying that, he turned and left.

……

Shao Yun left the construction site of Qun Yu Pavilion and made his way to the port of Liyue Harbor, thinking about his next itinerary.

He planned to take a boat to the Guyun Pavilion area. After all, he was not like Ying, who could just find a high place and spread his wings of wind to glide over.

He didn't want to call out Chelonia again.

So the question is, who should we go to?

The answer is obvious, of course it is the unlucky guy "Ping Hai".

At this time, Pinghai sat cross-legged on his black-sailed fishing boat, fanning himself with a bamboo hat while complaining, "Hey, what's going on these past few days? Why don't the Liyue Seven Stars allow the boats to go out to sea?"

He frowned, his tone full of dissatisfaction.

"Really? My iron rice bowl was destroyed by that guy called Shao Yun. My income was not good to begin with, and now I can't even survive?" His voice gradually became louder and his emotions became agitated.

Suddenly, Pinghai seemed to realize something. He closed his mouth instantly, stretched his neck, and began to observe the surrounding situation nervously.

His eyes darted around, alertly searching for possible danger.

After observing for a while, Ping Hai breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, there is no one wearing brown clothes and a black hat. There is only one person wearing red clothes and a white hat in the distance. I can calmly scold the guy who ruined my iron rice bowl."

After saying this, his expression relaxed and he seemed to have let go of his worries.

Afterwards, Pinghai lay comfortably on the deck of his black-plowed fishing boat, covered his face with a bamboo hat, crossed his legs, put his hands behind his head, and once again began a round of oral gymnastics on Shao Yun, venting his dissatisfaction and anger.

His words were sharp and harsh, and he mercilessly criticized Shao Yun's behavior of destroying his own job.

However, when Pinghai's output had lasted less than a minute, a cold click suddenly occurred.

When Pinghai heard the click, his body shook violently, and his mouth, which had been opening and closing, instantly closed tightly as if it had been sewn together with needle and thread.

His eyes were wide open, filled with fear and confusion.

Then, with trembling hands, he slowly removed the hat covering his face. His eyes slowly focused and the scene before him almost made his heart stop.

He saw the black muzzle of a gun pointing at his forehead, and the person holding the gun was Shao Yun. There was a faint smile on his face, but that smile made people feel creepy.

A low scream emanated from Pinghai's throat. The King of Hell was coming to claim his life!

"what!"

Shao Yun looked at Ping Hai's panicked and bewildered appearance, and the smile on his face became even more sinister. He asked softly, "How the hell did you scold me just now? Say it again so I can hear it."

Pinghai didn't dare to repeat what he had just said. He just felt a chill rising from his spine, and all the muscles in his body were tense with fear.

He knelt on the deck in a panic, kowtowed repeatedly, begging, "Grandpa, Grandpa! I was wrong, don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

Shao Yun gently shook the muzzle of the gun in his hand, then pointed it at the distant Guyun Pavilion area, and said calmly: "I want to take a boat to Guyun Pavilion. I won't give you a single Mora. Do you want to take this job?"

Pinghai thought to himself, what choice do I have now? He nodded quickly and said, "Take it, take it, take it, Grandpa, as long as you don't kill me, I'll do anything you want me to do."

Shao Yun looked at Pinghai and agreed. The corners of his mouth rose slightly. He put away the gun in his hand and walked into the boat leisurely.

Pinghai was completely numb at this moment, and muttered to himself: How come Shao Yun suddenly appeared just after I cursed him?

Is this just a coincidence, or does this man have some mysterious ability to hear other people's thoughts?

The more Pinghai thought about it, the more frightened he felt, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

However, he didn't dare to think about it any further, for fear of angering this terrible man.

So he stood up quickly, gripped the oar handle tightly, and began to row hard.

As for why the Qianyan Army did not come to stop Pinghai, one of the very important reasons might be that Shao Yun was sitting in the boat.
