Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Elhaisen's words gave Ying a new idea.

Indeed, after all, what if Shao Yun really got the disease in another country? It is not impossible.

Thinking of this, Ying began to recall what had happened over the past six months and shared it with Elhaisen.

"I remember we met at the beach in Mondstadt. At that time, Paimon and I found Shao Yun lying on the beach."

"He seemed to have encountered a terrible shipwreck. He was lying alone on the beach, dying. Out of sympathy and kindness, Paimon and I took care of him."

At this point, Ying paused for a moment, then continued, "When he woke up, he admitted that he was a murderer and a desperado."

"To be honest, when I heard the news, I wasn't that shocked, because Paimon and I had already discovered his weapon. Out of caution, Paimon hid his weapon behind a rock."

"But in the end, his honesty made Paimon and I choose to take him with us."

"Initially, I wanted to settle him in Mondstadt when the time was right. But, we went through some things, and then..."

When she said this, Ying's cheeks flushed involuntarily. She covered her cheeks with her hands shyly and said softly: "Oh, it's really embarrassing to talk about what's going to happen next."

After all, when Ying thinks back on it now, she doesn’t know why she hugged and kissed him.

At this time, Paimon, who was standing by, saw that Ying seemed to be too shy to continue the story, so he quickly stepped forward to act as the "mouth replacement".

"In short, it was the experiences in Mondstadt that brought Shao Yun and I together. We could never be separated again, and eventually became close travel companions."

When Ying heard Paimeng explain the subsequent situation for her, she nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes. After that, after we assisted Mond, we rested there for a while."

When Paimon heard this, he couldn't help but fall into memories of the past, with a hint of regret on his face. He slowly said, "Oh, speaking of that time, it was really carefree, and every day was very peaceful."

"At that time, you and I were planning to visit the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain, but we went directly to Liyue."

Ying listened to Paimeng's words, and the memory of that time reappeared in front of her. She couldn't help but pout and mutter, "I remember that we left Mondstadt for Liyue because of Shao Yun's request. He urged us for more than half a month. But, it's strange..."

At this moment, Paimeng seemed to have suddenly thought of something. He gently stroked his chin with his hand, narrowed his eyes slightly and said thoughtfully: "Thinking back carefully, Shao Yun did look a little strange at that time."

"It felt like he was deliberately avoiding something, and he kept urging us to leave for Liyue. But it still took us half a month to leave Mondstadt..."

After that, Paimeng paused, and then continued casually, as if inadvertently: "Now that I think about it, Shao Yun actually had a moment of 'fear'? This is really unexpected!"

"In my impression, he has always been fearless. Especially judging from what Inazuma has experienced, he clearly gives people the impression of being..."

When Ying heard Paimon say the word "fear", her eyes suddenly widened, and those originally scattered and seemingly unrelated information were instantly connected together like a puzzle.

Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated and her breathing became rapid.

"Wait! That's not right..."

Ying was visibly panicked. Paimon beside her asked in confusion, "What's wrong? This is exactly the same as what we've experienced."

Ying quickly reached out and covered Paimon's mouth. Her hand was trembling slightly as she tried to suppress her inner panic.

Then, she lowered her voice and told Paimon the fragmented memories in an extremely nervous tone.

"No, why did he show such fear after saving Sister Gilliana?"

At this time, Paimeng pushed away Ying's hand covering his mouth, blinked his big eyes, and said thoughtfully: "Everyone must be afraid of something!"

But this sentence did not make Ying feel relieved, but made her doubts even more serious.

"But something that could scare Shao Yun... must be very terrifying."

In her impression, Shao Yun has always been a fearless person.

Going further, he dared to kill all the Fatui in an entire hotel, and then took himself and his brother to the snowy mountains without any plan to hide from the Abyss Cult.

If he were closer, he would even dare to kill Thor, one of the seven rulers of the world.

How could he be so panicked after coming back from the night he rescued Sister Giuliana?

Then, Ying's beautiful eyes suddenly widened to the extreme, giving people the impression that they were about to jump out of their sockets.

A memory that had been almost forgotten came to my mind again.

"I remember one day, it seemed to be the night when Gilliana disappeared. I had a nightmare at that time, so I sat on the sofa on the first floor waiting for Shao Yun to come back."

"Shao Yun came back and drew me a sketch without a face. He said he drew a face, but I only saw a set of clothes and a hat. I thought he was trying to scare me and take advantage of me..."

"But now, that picture frame at Cole's house...why is that person dressed so similarly to the faceless sketch I drew by Shao Yun!"

This amazing discovery made Ying dumbfounded for a moment. At this moment, she could no longer care about anything else, including the affairs of Vitality House.

She stood up suddenly and ran towards Aru Village.

In the blink of an eye, he had opened up a huge distance between himself and Paimon behind him.

Paimon looked at Ying's back as she ran desperately and shouted loudly.

"Hey! Where are you going? Wait for me, please!"

As he shouted, Paimon no longer cared about Elhaisen standing beside him and chased after him.

At this moment, Ying had no time to turn around and respond to Paimeng's call. She just shouted at the top of her voice: "I must find Shao Yun immediately and have a good talk with him about this matter!"

So, El Haisen was the only one left in Vitality House.

When Elhaisen saw Ying and Paimeng going to find Shao Yun, he picked up his book and started reading calmly.

……

On the other side, in Aru Village, a figure rushed towards the house where Shao Yun was resting like lightning.

With a loud "bang", the door that was originally closed was suddenly slammed open, and a real "break-in" scene almost occurred.

At this time, Shao Yun in the room was sitting on the bed, writing his diary seriously to pass the time.

Hearing the sudden loud noise, he looked up in astonishment, and his eyes happened to meet the intruder, Ying, who was panting and flushed.

Looking at Ying's breathless appearance, Shao Yun was full of doubts and couldn't help but ask in surprise: "What happened?"

Ying's eyes were fixed on the diary in Shao Yun's hand.

She panted rapidly, and subconsciously reached out her hand, grabbed at the air a few times, and then said anxiously: "Let me see your diary!"

However, when Shao Yun heard Ying asking to check his diary, he did not hesitate at all and quickly put it into the Eastern Legend backpack he carried with him.

"What happened? Why do you suddenly want to read my diary?"

Seeing Shao Yun put away the diary so decisively, Ying knew that it would be futile to force it, so she gave up the idea temporarily.

But she did not give up. She asked in a serious tone: "Who was the person in the sketch you showed me the night you went to rescue Sister Giuliana?"

When Shao Yun heard Ying talking about this matter, he did not feel flustered, but calm.

Ever since Ying discovered the photo frame in Kelai's room, he knew that it would be difficult to keep this matter secret any longer.

The truth will eventually come out one day.

But even at this moment, he was still unwilling to give up easily and decided to give it one last try...

"It's nothing to see. I was just trying to scare you and take advantage of you..."

Ying was extremely anxious at the moment, because she knew that only by solving the mystery could the truth be revealed.

So she took a deep breath, calmed herself, and began to explain her reasoning in an orderly manner.

"You're lying. When faced with the huge army of Hilichurls that were about to attack Mondstadt, you showed no fear at all. You were even able to easily wipe out the Fatui in the Goethe Hotel."

"However, why do you show such a horrified look when facing a seemingly ordinary 'person'?"

"You know, that was the only time you showed such intense fear!"

Ying paused, then pressed on; "Who was the person in the sketch you showed me? And why is there a photo frame in Cole's room with the person in the same clothes as the one in the sketch you showed me?"

At this point, Ying suddenly seemed to have thought of something, her eyes lit up, and she continued to ask: "The only reasonable explanation is that you encountered some kind of huge 'threat' that night."

"Is the person in the frame someone you know? Is it your former accomplice who came to visit you? Is the painting a signal to remind you? Do you owe him a big favor or something else?"

After hearing this, Shao Yun was completely dumbfounded. Ying's guess was so right. Although his later guesses were a little off, they were basically the same.

But he quickly regained his composure, then gently patted the bed beside him and gave Ying a gentle look, as if signaling her to sit next to him.

Ying didn't think twice and sat down next to Shao Yun.

She looked at him quietly, hoping that he could give an answer.

Shao Yun looked at the extremely intelligent Ying in front of him and praised her sincerely, "You are very smart!"
