Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Just as Shao Yun was sitting on the ground watching Ying and Paimon chatting with Arawaki Ito and Jiuqi Shinobu, Ye Lan came back.

She walked quickly to the front of the crowd, pointed in the direction she had just gone, and said softly, "There is an entrance ahead, and there seems to be a road inside."

As soon as they heard there was a way, everyone stood up immediately and followed Ye Lan with great anticipation to the entrance of a secret realm.

Shao Yun looked at the entrance to the secret realm in front of him, and couldn't help feeling a little curious and excited.

After all, I was getting closer and closer to that mysterious "secret realm". Moreover, to some extent, it was the first time that I saw the entrance to the secret realm.

"Is this... a secret realm? This is the first time I've seen the entrance to a secret realm."

Ye Lan turned around and looked at Shao Yun carefully, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and asked: "Huh? Is this your first time seeing the entrance to the secret realm? I thought you would have explored many secret realms with the help of your girlfriend."

As she spoke, her eyes occasionally glanced at Ying beside her.

Shao Yun shrugged helplessly and explained: "I told you before that Ying and I don't have exactly the same preferences. I'm not like Ying and Paimon, who can't move away when they see a treasure chest."

“For me, adventure is just an optional lifestyle.”

After listening to Shao Yun's words, the expression on Paimeng's face gradually froze, revealing a hint of embarrassment.

She looked at Shao Yun and said with a pout, "Although most of what you said is true, it sounds so weird."

Just as everyone was about to enter the secret realm, suddenly, a strange voice came from behind.

Ye Lan's sharp ears caught this abnormality. She immediately became alert, raised her right hand, signaled everyone to stop, and lowered her voice and said seriously: "Shh, there is a sound."

Upon hearing this, everyone stopped and looked around nervously.

Ying and Paimon also turned their heads slowly and looked behind them vigilantly.

When he saw who was coming, Paimon couldn't help but exclaim.

"elf!"

Yan Fei was also very surprised to see Xiao here, and blurted out, "Great Sage Conquering the Demons? Why are you here?"

Xiao said this expressionlessly, without much emotion.

"I just came down from up there. I heard a noise and chased all the way here."

Paimon blinked and asked innocently, "Did you fall here accidentally? Or... do you want to come with us?"

Xiao shook his head slightly and rejected Paimon's suggestion in a calm tone.

"No need, I have other important things to attend to."

When Ying heard that Xiao had something important to tell her, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's the important thing?"

Xiao looked quietly at the person in front of him and answered with two words in a flat tone.

"Find someone."

When Shao Yun heard that Xiao was here to look for someone, the incident that happened in the Qun Yu Pavilion more than half a month ago immediately emerged in his mind.

He muttered to himself, he originally thought he would never meet Xiao here again.

After all, even if Xiao chose to walk, no matter how slowly he walked, it wouldn't take him more than half a month to get here.

Shao Yun asked with a hint of curiosity, "Is it the matter you asked for instructions on many occasions in the Qun Yu Pavilion? I remember that matter happened a long time ago. Why did you leave now?"

Xiao nodded slightly and responded, "That's right, but later I asked the Emperor for advice many times, and it was not until the last two days that I finally made up my mind."

When Shao Yun heard Xiao asking Zhongli for instructions several times, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch twice in embarrassment, and he muttered softly: "Ah, this..."

Then Shao Yun complained in his heart: "You are really Zhongli's good child..."

Xiao looked around, took in the surrounding environment, and then seriously suggested: "In short, this is not the place you should come to. You should go back as soon as possible."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao's figure disappeared without a trace.

When Shao Yun heard Xiao telling everyone to go back as soon as possible, he couldn't help but complain: "No, since you told us to go back quickly, you should also tell us how to leave here. We can't fly over eaves and walls, or walk in the air, so how can we leave that big cave!"

When Paimeng heard Shao Yun's complaint, he quickly tugged at the corner of Shao Yun's clothes and whispered, "Shao Yun, Xiao seems to have disappeared."

Shao Yun sighed helplessly and muttered softly: "Although I know that he always comes and goes without a trace. But does he think that the wind wings behind me are the wings of Ikaros, and can fly freely?"

Hearing Shao Yun saying something incomprehensible again, Paimeng quickly waved his hand to stop Shao Yun and said anxiously: "Oh, what incomprehensible things are you saying again. Anyway, let's go to see the secret realm as planned."

……

Afterwards, everyone went into the secret realm to find a way out.

Shao Yun walked silently at the end of the team. After all, apart from reading some treasure maps, he didn't have any other decryption skills. Anyway, with Ying there, he was of no use.

After passing through the secret realm, Aratake Ichito looked around and muttered to himself suspiciously: "Huh? No, what's going on? Why does this place look so familiar!"

Paimon also looked around in confusion and exclaimed in surprise: "We... why are we back?"

Jiuqi Shinobu took a quick look around and muttered, "It looks like this is the starting point. How strange..."

Arata Ichito scratched his head in confusion and frowned, "But we didn't go the wrong way. We just walked along the road leading to the exit, not back."

Ye Lan nodded and agreed, "I remember that too."

Shao Yun looked up and saw that the big hole where everyone had fallen had disappeared. But the others did not notice this detail at first.

He couldn't help but ask with emotion: "Are you really sure that we are back?"

After hearing Shao Yun's words, Ye Lan carefully observed the surroundings again and asked in confusion: "What do you mean, the surrounding situation is no different from when we came here."

Shao Yun pointed to the rock above his head, frowned slightly, and asked: "Look up there, are you really sure?"

Paimeng looked in the direction of Shao Yun's finger, his eyes widened, his mouth opened into an O shape, and he cried out in surprise: "Ah! The big hole disappeared!"

Yan Fei also looked up and saw that the big hole that was originally there had disappeared. She said in surprise, "Really? So, we should have come to another space, right?"

Paimeng patted his chest with lingering fear and said thankfully, "Fortunately, we are not spinning in circles, otherwise we would really be trapped here to death."

As long as we can get to the next area, there should be no problem.

Ye Lan looked up and confirmed that the big hole had indeed disappeared.

She fell into deep thought, secretly pondering the secrets of this mysterious space.

At this time, Yan Fei suggested: "Anyway, let's take a good rest. I remember that when we fell into this mysterious space, it was already very late."

When Paimon heard the words "it's very late", he immediately covered his stomach and said pitifully: "You're right, Ying and I haven't eaten yet."

When he heard Paimon say he was hungry, Jiuqi Shinobu quickly took out a few violets from his backpack and said with concern: "It's just right, I brought some violets, let's make some roasted violets for everyone to eat."

When Shao Yun heard that Paimeng was hungry, he quickly said, "Then I'll cook something."

When Ye Lan heard that Shao Yun was going to make a stew, the scene of them having dinner together immediately emerged in her mind, so she asked, "I remember the cooking pot should still be in the camp..."

However, before Ye Lan could finish her words, Shao Yun took out the pot he usually used for stewing.

He skillfully took out a large pot from the Eastern Legend backpack on his waist, which looked very similar to Pearson's large stew pot.

Ye Lan was not surprised that Shao Yun could take out such a huge pot from a seemingly small waist bag. Instead, she was curious about when Shao Yun would put the big pot away.

"Ah? When did you put it away? I remember that you only dismantled the cooking area when you moved the camp."

Facing Ye Lan's question, Shao Yun chose not to answer, but asked back: "Don't ask, should I bring you a copy?"

Ye Lan shook her head slightly and replied, "No, I've had enough for dinner."

……

Kuki Shinobu and Shao Yun prepared dinner together. Kuki Shinobu made some roasted violets while Shao Yun cooked a large pot of stew, enough for about seven people.

Even though there were only five people dining, Shao Yun still stewed enough, because Paimon's appetite alone was equivalent to that of three people.

After dinner, everyone sat on the ground to rest. Shao Yun walked alone to an area far away from everyone else to rest and where he could not be seen.

He leaned against the stone wall, lit a cigar, and quietly enjoyed the tranquility of the moment.

Looking at the smoke coming out of the burning cigar, Shao Yun finally had the opportunity to think carefully and relax his body and mind.

When Shao Yun was halfway through smoking his cigar, he suddenly heard footsteps getting closer.

He guessed that it might be Ying who came to see him, so he began to think about how to cover up the fact that he was smoking a cigar.

However, when the owner of the footsteps appeared in front of him, Shao Yun realized that it was Jiuqi Shinobu.

She saw Shao Yun holding a cigar in his right hand, leaning against the stone wall, blinking, and asked in confusion: "So you are here..."

When Shao Yun saw that it was Jiuqi Shinobu, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, glad that it was not Ying who found this place.

He greeted Kuki Shinobu with a smile.

"Hello, Kuki Shinobu, is there anything I can help you with?"

Jiuqi Shinobu shook her head slightly, with a hint of disappointment in her eyes, and said softly: "Nothing, it's just that after roasting the melon, I found that you suddenly disappeared..."

As he spoke, Jiuqi Shinobu's eyes slowly fell on the cigar in Shao Yun's hand, and said, "So you are smoking here."

Shao Yun looked down at the cigar in his hand, and an inexplicable bitter smile appeared on his face.

He sighed helplessly, then warned Jiuqi Shinobu seriously: "Don't tell Ying and Paimon about my smoking cigar. They don't know about it yet."

After saying that, Shao Yun threw the cigar away lightly and stomped it out with his foot, as if he wanted to bury this secret deeply.

Then he quickly chewed a mint to freshen his breath and cover up the smell of tobacco.

"If there's nothing wrong, it means you just want to find a quiet place." Shao Yun asked thoughtfully while gently fanning the cigar smoke in front of him.

Jiuqi Shinobu leaned gently against the stone wall next to Shao Yun. There was a distance of about one meter between the two of them, and they began to chat like a pair of ordinary good friends.

"The boss has made friends with Ying and Paimon."

There was a mixed emotion in Jiuqi Shinobu's tone, some relief, some emotion.

She said, not knowing what to think: "The boss gave Paimon the nickname 'Flying Dwarf Pansy', and Paimon called the boss 'the cattle herder'. It's really funny. But I haven't seen the boss so happy for a long time."

Shao Yun couldn't help but let out a sigh when he heard Jiu Qi Shinobu say that Ara Taki Ichito became friends with Ying and Paimon.

"Wow, this is a good thing. There's no need to disrupt the social interaction between these three people because of me..."
