Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Chapter 353 Telling the Truth

After everyone finished their meal, Shao Yun sat quietly by the campfire, looking at the cow-like creature "Achou".

It has been lying next to Paimon.

Time passed quietly, and I didn't know how much time had passed before Paimeng had a good sleep.

Shao Yun noticed Paimeng's slightly trembling eyelashes and knew that she was about to wake up.

When Paimon slowly opened her eyes, she floated up lightly with a hint of sleepiness in her eyes.

Shao Yun smiled and asked, "Awake? How do you feel?"

Paimon nodded gently, rubbed his eyes, and then said in a baby voice: "Well, when I was sleeping just now, I seemed to have heard the sound of cows..."

Then, Paimon's eyes fell on "Achou" and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Are you taking care of me? Thank you."

"Achou" seemed to understand Paimon's words and made a "moo" sound in response.

Shao Yun smiled slightly, stood up, walked to the side, picked up a piece of grilled meat and a bowl of steaming stew, then walked back to Paimeng and handed her the food.

When Paimon saw these delicious foods, her eyes lit up and she immediately said excitedly, "Wow, they're delicious!"

After saying that, he couldn't wait to take the food and started eating it.

Shao Yun felt very pleased when he saw Paimeng eating with gusto.

He sat quietly by the side, enjoying the tranquility and warmth of the moment.

……

However, at this moment, a noisy quarrel came from a distance.

Shao Yun raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice, thinking that everyone should be discussing how to leave this place.

However, Xiao's offer to sacrifice himself for an unknown way of survival was rejected by everyone.

Ye Lan frowned and looked at Xiao with a firm gaze, decisively rejecting the plan he proposed.

"I will never agree to your plan!"

Xiao stared at Ye Lan quietly, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness, but his tone remained calm.

"Is there any other possible solution?"

Ye Lan straightened up and responded without showing any weakness: "Then you shouldn't be sacrificed alone!"

Xiao looked at Ye Lan silently, sighed in his heart, and then spoke slowly.

"I have met Fushe underground, so I know more about the horrors here." His tone was filled with deep worry.

Then, Xiao continued to explain: "The explosive attack can only tear a very small hole. If you want to send you back to the outside world safely, you need to continuously inject power to keep the channel from being destroyed."

"I know how to risk my life to do this."

Yan Fei shook her head desperately, expressing her opposition to Xiao's proposal, and shouted anxiously: "No... No, even if what you said is true, I will never accept this approach."

Xiao was silent for a moment, and then he spoke slowly, calmly and frighteningly, "We can only discuss the good and bad of a method when there is an opportunity to do so, but this is not the case right now. I don't think you have any better ideas. Otherwise, you wouldn't still be trapped here."

Ye Lan folded her arms, narrowed her eyes slightly, and stated in an unquestionable tone a reason that Xiao could not ignore.

"With all due respect, the solution you proposed cannot guarantee the possibility of success, nor can it guarantee its safety."

Seeing that everyone was opposed to this plan, Xiao helplessly turned his gaze to Shao Yun not far away.

He slowly said, "Mr. Shao Yun, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you again this time."

When Shao Yun heard Xiao calling him, he was stunned. Then he looked up and looked at Xiao in confusion, and asked, "What's wrong? Don't tell me that we have to decide something crucial like last time in the Qun Yu Pavilion... that requires you to use your life in exchange for a slim hope of survival?"

Xiao walked silently to Shao Yun, with a hint of apology on his face, and said softly: "I'm sorry, but it is true...but now only you can make the final decision."

"You should know that if we don't do this, we will all die here. Rather than let everyone die together, let me..."

Just when Xiao wanted to continue speaking, Ying suddenly rushed over and interrupted him.

She was afraid that Shao Yun would agree to Xiao's plan because of her.

"I don't agree with this plan!" Ying shouted.

At the same time, Ye Lan and Yan Fei also said: "We all disagree!"

Their voices were in unison, revealing a resolute attitude.

Xiao did not answer Ying or anyone else. He just looked at Shao Yun and said, "Shao Yun, the decision is up to you."

Ying looked at Shao Yun and advised: "Shao Yun, we still have time..."

If Shao Yun didn't know that Taiwei Yipan and Zhongli were in the Chasm to pick up Xiao, given the current situation, he might really choose to let Xiao sacrifice himself in exchange for their safety.

But since all this is in vain, there is no need to bother with it anymore.

Shao Yun shrugged, turned around, looked at the campfire, and said indifferently: "I give up, you can do whatever you want."

Seeing that Shao Yun had abstained from voting, Xiao continued to persuade him unwillingly.

"We might get trapped here and die. Our supplies will eventually run out!"

Before Shao Yun could speak, Ye Lan interrupted and said, "But we still have plenty of supplies. We are not at the end of our rope yet!"

Xiao thought of the potion Shao Yun gave him. He looked at Shao Yun and said, "As long as I have your potion, I may not die! Although I may need some time to recuperate..."

Shao Yun said to Xiao impatiently: "The bottle you drank before is the last one I have. Even if you want it now, I don't have it anymore. So, you guys should continue to think of other ways."

When Xiao heard the news, his body shook slightly and a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

He stared at Shao Yun with wide eyes, as if he couldn't believe what he had just heard.

After several seconds, he slowly came back to his senses and asked in a trembling voice, "The last bottle?"

Shao Yun nodded expressionlessly and replied in a cold tone: "Yes, there is no need for me to lie to you."

Even if he had the potion, Xiao insisted on having it, and Shao Yun couldn't give it to him. How could he get out of here without finding the Taiweiyi Disk?

Or there is another way, Zhongli saw that his "own son" was about to die, so he left quickly.

Apart from this, Shao Yun didn't want to think of any other answer. What was the point of fussing?

……

In the end, the quarrel between Ye Lan and Xiao escalated again, and the focus was still on whether Xiao should be sacrificed in exchange for the survival of everyone else.

Aradaki Ichito couldn't bear to watch this fierce argument, so he stood up and ended the quarrel in his own way.

He used all his strength and hit the stone wall with all his might, and miraculously he opened up another path.

However, this feat also exhausted all of Arotaki Ichito's strength, causing him to faint on the ground.

Having found a new way out, Ye Lan decided to try again, hoping to find clues to escape the predicament.

So, Ye Lan, Ying, Paimeng and Yan Fei planned to go through the hole and explore.

Shao Yun stood in front of the newly opened road, looked back at Ara Taki Ichito who was properly settled by Kuki Shinobu, and then said to everyone: "Then I will stay here and accompany Kuki Shinobu to take care of this weak Ara Taki Ichito."

When Ying heard that Shao Yun was going to stay in the camp, she was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Ah?"

Shao Yun nodded at Ying and explained, "What's wrong? I'm not good at decryption, so I'll just be a hindrance if I go. It's better for me to stay here and provide some logistical support for everyone."

In fact, Shao Yun was simply too lazy to move anymore. He had already seen all the ruins he should see anyway, so there was no need to continue. He could just leave professional matters to professionals.

Ying thought this reason was very convincing, so she advised: "Okay, then you and Jiuqi Shinobu must pay more attention to safety."

Shao Yun also reminded: "You guys have to work hard too!"

Afterwards, Yan Fei, Ye Lan, Xiao, Ying and Paimon headed towards the next area that Aradaki Ichito had smashed open with his fists. The only ones left in the camp were Aradaki Ichito, who was exhausted and lying on the ground, and Jiuqi Shinobu and Shao Yun, who were responsible for taking care of him.

Although they are called caretakers, in reality, Jiuqi Shinobu and Shao Yun are still doing what they are supposed to do.

When Jiuqi Shinobu saw Shao Yun sitting by the campfire, a look of gratitude appeared on her face, and she said softly: "Thank you, you are willing to accompany me to look after the boss..." Her voice was a little low, but full of sincerity.

Shao Yun was sitting on the ground in front of the campfire. Hearing Jiuqi Shinobu's words, he raised his head slightly and responded in a flat tone: "I said I'm just lazy and don't want to move. Do you believe me?"

Jiu Qi Ren looked at Shao Yun, still somewhat grateful and said: "Whether you are lazy or you are just repaying a favor by taking advantage of Ah Chou's concern for Paimeng, thank you for staying to take care of the boss anyway."

In this way, Shao Yun sat quietly on the stone beside the campfire, staring at the fire, as if thinking about something.

He didn't say much, but occasionally added a piece of wood to the fire to make it burn more vigorously.

Jiuqi Shinobu didn't say anything else. She also sat aside, waiting silently.

The two of them spent time together, waiting for Ying and the others to come back.

After a while, Jiuqi Shinobu finally couldn't help it and broke the silence first.

She turned to look at Shao Yun, hesitated for a moment and asked: "How should I tell the boss about Sala? Do you have any suggestions?"

Her brows were slightly furrowed, and she looked a little distressed.

Shao Yun glanced at Jiuqi Shinobu, then returned his gaze to the fire. He said calmly: "Tell the truth, since you want to tell Yidou about Sala, don't hide anything, just tell it directly.

"If you need my help, feel free to let me know." He added another piece of wood to the fire.

After listening to Shao Yun's words, Jiuqi Ren nodded.

Although she didn't know how to start, she decided to deal with the problem herself. She could solve the Arotaki faction's problems herself.

Jiuqi Ren sighed softly, then smiled and said to Shao Yun: "No, thank you for your kindness, I should be able to do it by myself."

"If we can get away from here, I will take the boss back to Inazuma immediately and won't cause you any trouble."

After all, Jiuqi Shinobu had already completed his mission to obtain the certificate in Liyue, so there was really no need to stay in Liyue any longer.

When Shao Yun heard Jiuqi Shinobu confidently say that she could explain everything to Arawaki Ichito by herself, he stopped being polite and directly entrusted the matter to her.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."

However, at this moment, Aratake Ichito, who was lying on the ground, was suddenly awakened by hearing the word "Sara" in his dream.

He forced himself to open his eyes, looking straight at Shao Yun and Jiuqi Ren, and asked in a hoarse voice: "What are you talking about? Ren, what are you conspiring with this murderer? I heard you mentioned Sala!"
