Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Paimeng and Ying looked at Shao Yun like this and couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Seeing Shao Yun coughing so violently, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous, worried that he might have some problems.

Shao Yun took a deep breath, then wiped the corners of his mouth, looked at Ying and Paimon's concerned eyes, smiled and comforted them: "It's okay."

"I just accidentally choked on my own saliva when I was laughing, so I coughed so hard. You don't have to worry."

When Ying heard that Shao Yun was actually choked by his own saliva, he let out a long sigh of relief.

"Oh, that's good, it was just a false alarm..."

Then he asked, "But Shao Yun, what is the reason you came to Haibasha to see me?"

Shao Yun shrugged casually, raised a faint smile, and responded: "It's nothing serious, but I haven't seen you this whole morning, and I missed you."

"Also, I heard from Tinari that you are no longer allergic to the thing called phenol fragrance, so I came here to confirm whether this news is true."

Seeing Shao Yun trying to verify whether he still had an allergic reaction, Ying patiently explained to him.

"Yes, it is just as Tinari said. Now I am no longer allergic to the scent of phenol."

"And according to Tinari's analysis, it's probably because when I first acquired the grass elemental power, I wasn't proficient and precise enough in controlling the elemental power."

After a short pause, Ying added, "In addition, Hypatia also talked to me about it. Those incense sticks were originally used by scholars to communicate with the World Tree."

"Perhaps it is because of this reason that a special resonance phenomenon occurred between me and the World Tree, which caused me to experience drowsiness before, but now I am completely free of this problem."

Speaking of this, all kinds of memories of the past involuntarily came to my mind.

Ying couldn't help but recall the scene when she first met Tevarin. A playful smile appeared on her face, and she continued teasingly.

"This reminds me of the time when we first met Tevarin! At that time, my control over the element of wind was also not ideal, which resulted in Wendy's plan to purify it failing."

Shao Yun sat aside, listening to Ying talking about the communication of the world tree and some elemental theories like grass element, which he could not understand at all.

He shook his head helplessly and said to himself: "Ying, what you said is too complicated for me. I don't understand it at all."

Despite this, he reminded Ying with concern in his own way.

"But no matter what, Ying, if something like this happens again, regardless of whether we see the Grass God or not, we must leave Xumi and head to the next country. This is non-negotiable."

……

【What! Then what are you going to do? 】

"Just shut up! I promised Kong! Everything should be based on Ying. My business is not important!"

……

After hearing Shao Yun's concerns, Ying comforted him and said that she was no longer allergic to the phenol fragrance.

To prove this, she even smelled the phenolic scent of Hypatia, but she did not experience any uncomfortable reaction.

Ying then pulled Shao Yun to sit on the tree stump and said softly, "Anyway, don't worry about me anymore. The lunch I prepared is ready, let's eat together."

Shao Yun looked at the sweet chicken stuffed with flowers and carrot and vegetable soup that Ying handed over, and asked in surprise, "Is there any for me?"

Ying nodded as a matter of course and said with a smile: "How could I let you watch us eat while you just stand there and watch?"

……

While eating, Haibasha kept a distance from Shao Yun. She was extremely careful every time she picked up food and chewed it, as if she was afraid of causing any unnecessary trouble.

On the other side, Ying was talking enthusiastically with Shao Yun.

After swallowing a mouthful of the delicious sweet flower-stuffed chicken, Ying gently patted Shao Yun who was sitting next to her, and then said, "By the way, Shao Yun, there is something I need to tell you."

Shao Yun quickly put the plate in his hand on his thigh and asked with concern: "What's the matter?"

At this time, Ying first looked up at the cave entrance not far away, then turned to face Shao Yun and said slowly in a low voice: "Just when I stepped into this cave, I suddenly had a dream that made no sense."

Afterwards, Ying began to vividly describe to Shao Yun the bizarre and incredible dream.

After she finished speaking, Shao Yun thought for a moment and then concluded: "In short, you saw an apostle of the abyss in your dream, and it bullied you wantonly in your dream, right?"

Hearing this, Ying nodded vigorously, pouted her lips, and complained in a coquettish tone: "Yes, although I know in my heart that it was just a dream, I just feel very uncomfortable!"

"My brother and I have met so many times, and that abominable guy actually dared to say in my dream that my brother abandoned me!"

Shao Yun looked at Ying's cute and angry look, stroked her hair, and promised: "In this case, next time I meet the Apostle of the Abyss, I will teach it a lesson."

……

Shao Yun had already thought of that kind of scene.

Apostle of the Abyss: Why did you beat me? I didn’t provoke you!

Shao Yun: Ying dreamed that you bullied her, so, you know!

Abyss Apostle: Hey! No, help! Your Highness!

……

On the other side, in a mysterious ruins that is rarely visited and long forgotten by the world, the atmosphere is particularly gloomy and depressing.

The Abyss Apostle "Riptide" shuddered without warning and shuddered violently, muttering: "Ah! This icy feeling!"

The Abyss Chanter "Yuan Shang" who was standing in front of him looked at his colleague who was behaving strangely with confusion.

"Riptide, what's wrong with you?"

Jiliu quickly turned around and glanced behind him vigilantly, but he did not find any suspicious figures or creatures.

It relaxed a little, and explained with a trembling voice: "Nothing...nothing. I just suddenly felt a strong chill for no apparent reason, as if Frostfall's hand was on my shoulder."

Yuanshang felt very strange when he saw Jiliu shivering from the cold.

It's a bit too crazy for an Apostle of the Water Abyss to say he's cold in front of a Singer of the Fire Abyss.

Especially when I heard the word "frost falling".

"Recently, it is Frostfall's turn to serve His Royal Highness. How did you sense it?"

After hearing what Yuan Shang said, Ji Liu shook his head awkwardly and said with forced calmness: "It's nothing, maybe it's just my illusion."

"Okay, stop worrying about this and get on with it. Tell me everything you know!"

When he heard Jiliu urging him, Yuanshang responded stiffly: "What do you want to know, a fellow who only knows how to fight and kill? Is it the document I found in Baiye Country? Be more specific, what kind of information do you want to know?"

Jiliu hurriedly explained, "His Royal Highness the Prince has told me to learn from you, but he didn't specify what he wanted me to learn. So tell me all the information you know."

Yuanshang was a little impatient at first, but when he heard that it was His Royal Highness the Prince who instructed Jiliu to come and seek advice, his attitude instantly took a 180-degree turn.

"Hey, you are just a guy who only knows how to fight and kill. Why didn't you explain it clearly earlier? Then why did His Royal Highness ask you to come and learn from me?"

Jiliu quickly told Yuanshang everything that happened in the mysterious ruins below the abyss.

After Yuanshang heard the whole story, he understood everything.

It's because Jiliu is too bad at speaking, so His Royal Highness the Prince asked him to learn how to speak from him.

But Yuanshang thought that he couldn't teach anything in a short time, so he gave the best solution at the moment.

Yuan Shang coughed lightly and said slowly: "Well... Actually, this matter is not that complicated. From now on, when you accompany His Royal Highness by his side and happen to meet His Royal Highness's blood relatives or the lovers of His Royal Highness's blood relatives, just keep your mouth shut."

After all, if you can't speak, just shut up. This is an eternal truth.

The brother-in-law is chatting with his brother-in-law. What opinions do you have as a subordinate to express?

……

Shao Yun rode on a horse, carrying Ying and Paimeng, left the cave where Haibasha was meditating, and returned to Huacheng.

The three of them came to the tree house and were about to pack their few luggage and head to Xumi City.

Just then, the three suddenly noticed a group of people gathered in front of the ranger's tree house not far away.

When I got closer, I saw that it was several scholars from the House of the Decrees who were talking to Tinari.

The two scholars standing in the front and talking with Tinari were particularly eye-catching.

One of them was named Guram, and he wore a laurel wreath woven from silver olive branches on his head. This unique decoration made him look like a highly respected and outstanding scholar.

The other scholar was named Khawaja. He wore a pair of exquisite half-frame glasses on his nose. From his appearance alone, one could tell that he was a man of great learning and profound knowledge.

As for the other scholars of the House of Evangelicals, they stood silently by the side, acting as a backdrop like green leaves setting off flowers.

At this time, after listening to Tinari's reasons for refusing to go to the House of the Decrees, Guram said with a serious face: "Tinari, don't you think that the reason you gave for refusing is completely evasive?"

Then, Guram paused for a moment and continued, "We all know that as a forest ranger, it is indeed your job responsibility to repair the dead zone."

"However, you should also understand that relying solely on your current approach only solves the surface problem and cannot truly eliminate the threat posed by the Dead Zone from the root."

"Now, the situation in the Dead Zone is getting more serious, and the degree of harm has long exceeded our initial estimates. The Dead Zone erupted a few months ago, and the city of Hua was breached by the Dead Zone a few days ago. Doesn't this arouse your sense of crisis?"

Guram became more and more excited as he spoke, and his emotions were getting higher and higher.

He took a step forward and said passionately: "Lord Kavaja has made it clear that what you can do in Xumi City, Tinari, will directly affect whether the entire World Tree can be healed. In this case, what reason do you have to refuse?"

His words were full of expectations for Tinari, revealing an eager anticipation.

Khawaja, who was standing by, saw Ghulam so excited, so he reached out and pulled Ghulam back, and gently persuaded him: "Don't be so aggressive, we should listen to his explanation carefully. We are here to invite Tinari to return to the Fatwa House, not to make enemies."

Tinari looked at these scholars who persuaded him to go to the House of the Decrees, and his heart was filled with helplessness. First, his mentor wrote the letter, and now so many scholars came. It was really tiring.

But he still said respectfully: "Lord Khawaja, I am really sorry to trouble you to come here in person."

First courtesy, then force. Then Tinari said seriously: "But it is precisely because the dead zone phenomenon is so serious that I cannot leave the city."

"If I leave, if the dead zone invades the city again, it won't be as simple as a few rangers lying in bed and resting."

If I leave, will Cole be the one to deal with the dead zone on my behalf?

"Besides, I'm just a ranger. I don't think I can help you, a leader of the theory of knowledge," Tinari said modestly.

Tinari gave all the face and money to Kawaja in front of him, and he didn't believe that he couldn't get rid of these people.

However, what was unexpected was that Khawaja continued to persuade Tinari without getting tired.

"Tinari, you have to look further ahead! You know, your mentor is personally involved in this great project of saving the World Tree. Now, he urgently needs your powerful strength to help him!"

"Once we successfully complete this difficult task, it will undoubtedly be great news for the entire Xumi! Maybe even those troublesome dead zones will be completely cleared away."

"By then, your job as a forest ranger will naturally become much easier!"

Tinari watched the topic go around in circles and finally return to the starting point, and couldn't help feeling helpless.

He gently stroked his forehead, sighed deeply and said, "Ah, why are we talking about this topic again..."

"In that case, respected Lord Khawaja, if it is really as you mentioned, then could you please tell me what specific things my teacher needs me to help him do?"

Facing Tinari's questioning, Khawaja subconsciously glanced aside quickly, a guilty look on his face, and stammered in response: "Well... that... when you arrive in Xumi City, you will naturally know the details."

Tinari keenly caught Khawaja's unnatural expression, and immediately crossed his arms across his chest, staring at him closely, and asked again: "Okay, then how long will it take me to stay in Xumi City this time?"

"I don't want to come back and see the city being eroded by the dead zone, with no one left alive."

Khawaja shook his head slowly and answered truthfully.

"It is not possible to give an exact time frame at this time."

After hearing Kavaja's vague answer, Tinari said confidently: "You mean that even though you came to Huachengguo in person, you still can't give any clear answers to the questions I asked the teacher in my letter?"

"Regarding the issue of the dead zone and the world tree, the teacher has used these excuses many times. I have also asked countless times what kind of subject requires such strict confidentiality measures."

At this point, Tinari firmly rejected the invitation to the Decree House, saying unequivocally: "I will not agree to participate in such an ambiguous subject."

Seeing that Tinari showed no mercy to Lord Khawaja, Ghulam said angrily, “Tinari, you!”

However, Khawaja stopped Ghulam and sighed helplessly.

"Oh, forget it. Our main mission is to send reinforcements of rangers here. Persuading Tinari is secondary. We have completed the mission, so let's leave here."

He understood that continuing to argue would only be a waste of time, so it would be better to return to the House of the Decrees as soon as possible.
