Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Shao Yun and Wendy had another fight in the square in front of the church.

Finally, after enough noise, everyone walked into the West Wind Cathedral together.

Shao Yun walked in front. He pushed open the heavy door of the church with force. The door hinges made a creaking sound, as if telling the vicissitudes of time.

As soon as they entered the church, they saw Barbara counseling Noelle. Noelle looked a little depressed, and Barbara gently comforted her with a soft but powerful voice.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Barbara looked back with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

When she saw Shao Yun, Wendy, Ying, Paimon and Qin, a warm smile appeared on her face. She said something to Noelle, then stood up and walked in front of them.

Barbara pursed her lips and greeted everyone.

"Ah? Hello."

After she finished speaking, her eyes unconsciously fell on the Sky Harp in Ying's hand, and she wished she could snatch it away immediately.

Looking at Barbara's expectant eyes, Shao Yun couldn't help but mutter in his heart, is this Sky Harp so important? Even if it was used by the Wind God, there would be no need to be so excited.

Ying looked at Barbara's fiery gaze, and quickly handed over the Sky Harp, saying, "We've returned the Sky Harp to her."

Barbara took the Sky Harp, suppressed her anxiety and examined it carefully. She heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that it was not damaged.

She looked up at the group of people with a complicated expression, and finally her eyes fell on Shao Yun.

"I didn't expect that it was you who stole the Sky Harp." Barbara said softly. There was not much blame in her tone, but a hint of helplessness.

Shao Yun scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry, this thing is the key prop to solve Tevarin's problem. It's too troublesome to explain, so I can only do it first and ask for your permission later. I'm really sorry for causing you trouble."

Barbara looked at Shao Yun's sincere apology, and most of the blame in her heart disappeared. She shook her head helplessly and smiled, "It's okay, Captain Qin has already informed the church, and we won't embarrass you."

After that, she carefully put away the Skyharp, and then earnestly reminded: "Although you are here to solve Tevarin's problem, the rules cannot be broken. Next time you borrow the harp, you must follow the formal procedures."

Barbara, don't worry. I will never borrow a piano from anyone in my next life. Ying and I will never go near West Wind Church!

After finishing the matter of the Sky Harp, Qin walked up to Barbara, cleared her throat gently, sorted out her thoughts, and said to Barbara.

"Um, Miss Barbara, I remember you had some business to see me a few days ago? I'm sorry, I was really too busy at the time and didn't handle it in time. Can you tell me now?"

Barbara blinked in confusion, tried to recall, and then shook her head: "What official business a few days ago? I don't remember anything special to talk to you about."

Jean looked at Barbara's expression and felt very confused.

"But Shao Yun said you had something to ask me."

Just when both of them were feeling a little confused, Barbara suddenly clapped her hands and thought of the incident with the strange bird a few days ago.

"Oh, I remember now! Captain Qin, are you talking about the incident where the strange bird stole the cultural relics? But Mr. Shao Yun has already helped us deal with it. He returned the cultural relics to me at that time."

After hearing what Barbara said, Qin showed a surprised expression on her face.

The matter has been handled by Shao Yun, so what is the official business?

Qin turned her eyes to Shao Yun, who looked around quickly, put his hands in his pockets and whistled.

"Just talk about your official business, don't look at me! I'm just passing by, I don't know anything."

Jean and Barbara were both smart people, and they realized something. They looked at each other, with expressions of sudden enlightenment on their faces.

"Ah! Captain Qin, I remember now. It is indeed a very important official business."

Barbara followed Shao Yun's instructions and gave Qin a way out.

Then Qin took Barbara away tacitly to discuss their real "official business".

Paimon looked at the backs of Captain Qin and Barbara walking away, then turned to look at Shao Yun and Ying, and asked doubtfully: "So, are we done with our work now?"

Shao Yun glanced at Noelle who was sitting alone on the church bench. She looked a little lonely. She was so focused on Barbara and Qin that she forgot about the little girl.

Shao Yun pointed at Noelle's back, sighed softly, and said, "I think we should go and confirm whether Noelle has come out of her psychological trauma. Can I ask you two to come together? Maybe it's easier for girls to communicate."

Ying was silent for a while, as if weighing the pros and cons, and then said: "I am willing to help her, but..."

Her words stopped abruptly and her eyes turned to Wendy who was standing beside her.

Wendy seemed to sense Ying's gaze and gave her a questioning look.

"I have something I want to ask Wendy alone. If you can't comfort Noelle, come to me." Ying said softly.

Shao Yun understood what Ying meant. He followed Ying's gaze and looked at Wendy, then asked in a low voice, "Is it about your brother?"

Ying nodded and replied, "Yes. After all, this is the purpose of my trip."

Shao Yun was worried that these three people would encounter the Fatui executive officer "Madam", which would be dangerous if he was not there.

As he thought about it, he looked around and pointed to the corner next to the door and said, "That corner is quieter. I suggest you chat there. Don't leave in a hurry after you finish chatting. Wait for me."

Ying looked at the corner and thought it was indeed a suitable place for conversation, so she agreed to Shao Yun: "Okay, let's talk there."

So, Ying and Wendy walked towards that corner, while Shao Yun walked towards Noelle.

Shao Yun walked to the left side behind Noelle, leaned lightly on the back of the bench, patted Noelle's arm gently, trying to break her silence, and asked softly.

"How was your conversation with the nun?"

Noelle raised her head, with a hint of loss and confusion in her eyes. She sighed and shook her head slowly, her tone full of helplessness.

"To be honest, it's not very good. Sister Barbara has been talking about Lord Barbatos, the god of wind, saying that he can dispel my nightmares. However, I feel that it is of no use to me."

Shao Yun was silent for a moment. Everyone has his or her own beliefs and hopes, but not everyone can find comfort in them.

He had no idea what to say to comfort Noelle and could only respond with a simple "Oh, is that so?"

Noelle raised her head and looked at Shao Yun, her eyes flashing with expectation and trust. She said tiredly: "I think it's better for you to comfort me. I feel that you are used to seeing life and death, so you should know how to deal with these things."

Shao Yun frowned slightly. He noticed that Noelle's eyes were a little dark, obviously because he didn't sleep well last night. He asked softly, "Looking at you like this, did you have a nightmare?"

Noelle lowered her head, fiddling with the hem of her clothes with her fingers unconsciously, and recounted her dream from last night.

"I guess so. I had a nightmare last night. I dreamed that all the knights were dead. I was standing there alone, watching those familiar figures fall one by one, but I couldn't do anything. The feeling of helplessness and despair scared me awake."

You shouldn't come to me to ask about this dream. You should go to Xumi to find the little grass god. Now I have become Zhou Gong and I am here to interpret the dream.

After listening to Noelle's dream, Shao Yun was silent for a while, as if he was thinking deeply. Then he raised his head and began to express his own views.

"I don't have to force you to take life and death lightly," Shao Yun's voice was calm and powerful. "On the contrary, it is normal for you to show compassion when facing death. This is part of human nature and the most real connection between us and the world. However, don't let death become your lingering nightmare."

It's normal for a tough guy like Arthur Morgan to show fear when facing an unknown death.

He paused and continued, "Don't think of yourself as a cold-blooded killing machine, and don't be sentimental about death."

Shao Yun pursed his lips, his brain cells were almost exhausted.

“Physical death does not mean spiritual death. Your every word and action, your kindness and bravery, will be recorded and passed down by the world. As long as someone can prove that you have been in this world, you are still alive. The moment everyone forgets you, you are truly dead.”

After saying this, Shao Yun saw that Noelle seemed to have gained some enlightenment, so he made a joke to ease the tense atmosphere.

"So, find a way to carve your deeds on stone. That's why most tombstones are made of stone. Isn't it so that they can be passed down for a longer time?"

Noelle was amused by Shao Yun's humorous words, and the haze in her heart was like being blown away by the breeze, dissipating a lot. However, although Shao Yun's words made her feel better, when she thought about it carefully, there were still some subtle problems with this passage.

"Haha, Shao Yun, what you said is really interesting. Carving one's deeds on stone can indeed preserve them for a long time, but even the strongest rock will eventually turn to dust."

When Shao Yun heard this, he scratched his head and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"You're right. Stone will also disappear. But if it is carved on wood, it will be forgotten much faster. Wood is easy to decay. How can it be compared with stone?"

Noelle laughed out loud at Shao Yun's answer, and the haze in her heart completely dissipated. She looked at Shao Yun gratefully and said sincerely: "Thank you, Shao Yun. Your words make me feel very comfortable. You are really wise."

Shao Yun smiled self-deprecatingly and waved his hand: "No, Noelle, you flatter me. I'm actually a stupid guy. There are many things that I still haven't figured out."

Noelle couldn't help but feel a little surprised when she heard Shao Yun's words. She thought Shao Yun was a confident and smart person, but she didn't expect him to evaluate her like this.

Noelle's eyes flashed with curiosity and concern, and she said, "But I don't think you're stupid. Especially when it comes to life and death issues, you always give profound insights."

Shao Yun laughed out loud after hearing what Noel said. He didn't expect that Noel was so wise in this child's eyes.

If I were really wise, I wouldn't have ended up like that.

After laughing, he pondered for a moment, his eyes recalled some past events that were not in his mind, and then he sighed: "It's just that I have experienced too much, an old horse knows the way. Some things, if you experience too much, you will become numb."

Noelle looked at Shao Yun's heavy expression and felt distressed. She asked with concern, "Shao Yun, do you have any troubles or doubts? Tell me, maybe I can help you."

Noel's approach is like the first psychologist finding the second psychologist to solve his own psychological problems, and then the second psychologist finds the next one to solve his own problems, and this cycle repeats until he discovers that everyone in the world is sick.

"No need, as long as you are happy, you are still young and have a long life ahead of you. There is no need to share other people's unhappiness."

After Shao Yun comforted Noelle, he felt heavy and tired.

He felt as if he had been hollowed out, and that deep feeling of powerlessness made him determined not to comfort others so easily in the future.

Leave professional matters to professionals, and don’t get involved in muddy waters next time.

Just as he was thinking about how to pass the time and waiting for Ying to finish talking to Wendy, a prompt suddenly popped up from the system, breaking his thoughts.

【Warning: Please go outside the church immediately! 】

Looking at this message, Shao Yun frowned. Is this thing broken? Those three people are fine...

Shao Yun turned his head and looked at the place where the three people were before, but found that there was no one there.

It's easy to figure out that Ying must have not listened to me, ran out and met the executive "Madam".

Shao Yun felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart. The lady was probably furious and might easily kill someone to vent her anger. He couldn't let Ying and Wendy face the danger alone.

Shao Yun didn't have time to say goodbye to Noelle. He took out a dagger and a cowboy revolver, and walked towards the door behind him with a murderous look in his eyes.

"Come on, ma'am, show me what you execs can do!"
