Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Guram and Khawaja led the group of scholars out of the city of Hua.

At this time, Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng, who had been observing everything silently on the side, stepped forward.

Shao Yun stared at the direction where the members of the Order Academy left, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

He turned around and looked at Tinari standing beside him, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said jokingly, "Oh, could it be that the College of Eminence is so short-handed that they need to recruit an outstanding graduate like you and want to hire you back as a sage?"

After hearing what Shao Yun said, Tinari was stunned at first, and then he couldn't help laughing.

He smiled and shook his head helplessly, saying, "Hahaha, you are such a joke! Becoming a sage is not something that a ranger like me can do."

After laughing, he went on to explain, "Actually, they want me to go to Xumi City to help my mentor research a strange topic."

"It's just that right now, there are hidden dangers in the dead zone that need to be dealt with, and I'm also worried about Cole's condition. I really can't leave, so I can only politely decline."

Shao Yun nodded in understanding, indicating his agreement with Tinari's approach, and continued joking.

"That's right. If it was me who finally graduated from college and found a satisfactory job, but the school suddenly asked me to go back and spend money to go to school, I would definitely refuse without thinking twice. You did the right thing!"

After saying that, he gave Tinari a thumbs up.

After listening quietly to Shao Yun's vivid metaphor, Tinari didn't know how to respond for a moment.

He hesitated for a moment and decided to quickly change the subject to avoid further awkwardness.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Anyway, how is Hypatia doing?"

Hearing Tinari's question, Paimon nodded vigorously and replied, "Yes, although there were some minor twists and turns and accidents in the middle, it was generally smooth."

“We also obtained a lot of very practical and valuable information!”

When Tinari heard that Hypatia was not only safe and sound but could also be of help to Ying and Paimon, he couldn't help but feel relieved and happy.

Then, he turned his gaze to Ying and said, "That's good. Since your body has recovered, I have no reason to keep you in Huacheng. You are going to Xumi City next, right?"

Ying nodded affirmatively and added, "Well, we have been asked to meet the 'Little Lucky Grass King'. Tinari, do you know how to meet her?"

In response to Ying's question, Tinari frowned slightly and began to carefully recall his experiences studying and living in Xumi City.

However, after some thought, he could only shake his head helplessly and said with difficulty: "I'm sorry, I don't know how to meet the emperor."

When Paimeng heard that Tinari didn't know how to pay respect to the Grass God, his big round eyes rolled around, and then he smiled sweetly and asked, "Then Tinari, since you don't know how to pay respect to the Grass God, do you know who we can ask for the method to pay respect to the Grass God after we arrive in Xumi City?"

"From what those scholars said just now, you are a very remarkable person! I'm sure you have a lot of connections!"

Hearing Paimon's praise, Tinari waved his hand and responded modestly: "Hahaha, Paimon, you really flatter me too much. Li, I am just fortunate to have received guidance from a highly respected and knowledgeable mentor."

After saying that, Tinari stretched out his right hand and gently stroked his chin, falling into deep thought.

After a moment, he slowly said, "Well... to be honest, I haven't stayed in this Xumi City for a long time, and most of the people I met were scholars who were obsessed with academic research."

Just when Paimon thought that Tinari had no such opportunity, he suddenly seemed to remember something important and spoke excitedly.

"Oh, yes! I remember now. When I was studying at the Ordination College, I had a friend like this. He was a researcher of the Life Theory School and was well-informed about all kinds of news."

"I'll write you a letter of introduction. You can go ask him. He's well-informed."

Paimon blinked his eyes and listened with confusion when Tinari asked the three of them to ask a researcher. He couldn't help but ask curiously: "I heard from those scholars that your master, Tinari, is very powerful! Then why don't you just recommend us to go directly to your master?"

After hearing this, Tinari showed a slightly awkward smile on his face, shook his head slightly and said: "Well...

As he spoke, Tinari cast his gaze towards Shao Yun, who was standing next to Ying. After a brief pause, he continued to explain, "My teacher, 'Nafis', has an extremely strange temper."

"Even I find him hard to figure out sometimes, so it's better not to bother him unless it's absolutely necessary."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tinari seemed to suddenly remember something and muttered to himself in a low voice.

"But when I think about it, it's a bit strange. I have rejected the teacher's invitations so many times. According to his previous temper, he should have come to me in person to settle the score and give me a good beating."

"But this time, there has been no movement so far. This is totally inconsistent with his style..."

Although it is not possible to meet the Grass God directly for the time being, at least a way to the goal has been found.

Thinking of this, Paimon happily snapped his fingers and said cheerfully, "Hehehe, let me, Paimon, sort it out!"

"First of all, Ying no longer has to worry about falling asleep due to an allergic reaction to the scent of phenol. Secondly, Shao Yun has also solved all the living problems such as food and accommodation in Xumi."

"More importantly, we now have a valuable clue that will lead us to meeting the Little Auspicious Grass King! I feel like everything is moving in a good direction!"

……

“By the way, when you enter Xumi City, you should get something. Let me introduce it to you first.” Tinari said as he took out an object from his arms. Its shape resembled headphones.

Paimon stared at the headphone-like object in Tinari's hand with wide eyes and couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Wow, what is this?"

Shao Yun, who was standing aside, looked at this thing and thought, isn’t this something that the future Ministry of Education will use to tap into the computing power of the human brain?

Tinari smiled and explained to Paimon: "It's called the 'Void Terminal'. It's a tool made by the Order of the Lord using the legacy left by the Great Compassionate Tree King. Some people also say that it is the cornerstone for Xumi to truly become the city of wisdom."

Then he added: "Recently, people from the Ministry of Education will distribute these things for free at the city gate and teach you how to use them. I won't interfere. You just need to get familiar with them first."

After listening to Tinari's introduction, Ying and Paimon looked at the void terminal in front of them with great interest.

After the observation, Paimeng couldn't wait to say: "Okay, in that case, let's quickly set off for Xumi City! But before we set off, it would be better for us to visit Kelai first."

As soon as they heard about Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng were about to leave for Xumi City. Tinari tried to persuade them to stay, saying, "How about we rest here for another day? After all, it's almost afternoon now. How about going tomorrow morning?"

However, Paimon shook his head firmly and responded, "No, going to see Lord Grass God is the most important thing! We have been delayed for too long."

Seeing that he could not keep them, Tinari said nothing more, but smiled and gave his sincere blessing: "In this case, I wish you can meet the little auspicious grass king as soon as possible."

Taking this opportunity, Ying and Paimeng hurried to say goodbye to Cole.

On the other side, Tinari stopped Shao Yun.

"Mr. Shao Yun, please come with me. I'll just write the letter of introduction and give it to you."

……

So the two of them came to the ranger's workplace, and Tinari found a piece of letter paper and started writing a letter of introduction.

Just as Tinari was concentrating on writing the letter of introduction, Shao Yun suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.

"Oh, by the way, Tinari, I actually have a question I've always wanted to ask you."

Hearing this, Tinari paused for a moment, then raised his head, looked at Shao Yun curiously, and asked gently, "What's the problem?"

Shao Yun pursed his lips slightly, and seemed a little hesitant, but finally he mustered up the courage to ask: "I want to know, do you believe in the Great Kindness Tree King or the Small Auspicious Grass King?"

After all, he still cared a lot about what the devil said that day.

When Tinari heard Shao Yun asking questions about his beliefs, a look of surprise and curiosity appeared on his face.

He blinked his eyes and asked in confusion: "Ah? Why do you suddenly ask this..."

However, at this moment, he seemed to understand something, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he chuckled and said, "Oh~ I see, you must have heard that the Ministry of Education deliberately downplayed the existence of the Little Auspicious Grass King and always praised the Great Compassion Tree King."

After a short pause, Tinari continued thoughtfully: "Well... I completely agree and respect the great contribution and selfless dedication that the Great Compassionate Tree King has made to Xumi."

"But if we look at other countries, take Fontaine for example, the people of Fontaine have happily accepted the second generation of gods for five hundred years."

"Even Inazuma, the symbol of eternity, has welcomed its third generation of gods! And I haven't seen any Inazuma people show any signs of discomfort."

"Personally, I still think that people can't always live in the past." At this point, Tinari shook his head slightly and sighed helplessly.

"Of course, this is just my personal opinion. As for those old guys in the Order, I don't want to comment on them. Anyway, I am now the ranger of Huacheng Castle, so they have nothing to do with me."

Shao Yun was obviously not satisfied with this answer. He stared at Tinari with burning eyes and asked, "So, according to what you mean, can I understand that you believe in the Little Auspicious Grass King?"

Tinari thought for a moment, then nodded solemnly and responded: "If you have to give a clear answer, it is true."

"It's just that I never thought about it. I just need to do my job as a ranger. There's no point in thinking too much."

At this point, Tinari had also written the letter of introduction.

"Okay, here's the letter of introduction."

Shao Yun took the letter of introduction from Tinari and casually stuffed it into his Eastern Legend backpack. When he was about to open his mouth to thank Tinari, something unexpected happened.

In an instant, Shao Yun's pupils quickly turned into crystal blue.

Then he stared closely into Tinari's eyes.

Then he raised his hand, patted Tinari's shoulder gently, and muttered something.

"Et ecce, Dominus venit cum milibus sanctorum eius, ad execandum judicium super omnes."

The words that came out of Shao Yun's mouth were so strange, they were not the words of Teyvat at all.

After hearing this, Tinari couldn't help but look puzzled and asked with a frown: "What are you talking about?"

Faced with Tinari's question, Shao Yun was stunned at first, then blinked.

As he blinked, the color of his pupils returned to its original color.

Then, he smiled at Tinari and said, "Oh... Actually, what I just wanted to say is that I agree with your idea very much! After all, living a good life is the wisest and most correct choice."

Tinari looked at Shao Yun, who was behaving strangely, with a suspicious look on his face, and asked, "Are you sure that what you just said was just this simple sentence?"

Shao Yun looked at Tinari's puzzled expression, and asked in confusion while laughing: "What do you mean? I think what I said should be very clear."

Seeing that Shao Yun refused to give a direct response, Tinari shook his head helplessly and stopped asking questions.

Shao Yun wondered in his heart why Tinari suddenly became so strange, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.

He waved goodbye to Tinari and went to find Ying and Paimon, leaving Tinari standing there alone, staring at his disappearing back thoughtfully.
