Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Before he knew it, half a month had passed. Every night Shao Yun would think of the poker game with the man in the top hat. The devil can lie, but why doesn't it draw cards?

The fear of the unknown is the real fear. I waited in a daze until the day when Ying and Paimon decided to go to Liyue.

……

Under the rising sun, Mondstadt seemed to be gently awakened by the golden sunlight, appearing particularly warm and full of vitality.

Amber stood in front of the door. She was wearing the familiar red knight uniform. She looked at Ying and Paimon in front of her.

Both of them are ready to embark on their journey to Liyue.

"Are you going to Liyue now?" Amber's tone contained a hint of reluctance and anticipation.

Paimon nodded, her little face full of seriousness.

"It's almost time. If we're any later, we won't be able to make it to Liyue's Summoning the Immortals Ceremony."

Amber frowned slightly, as if recalling the good life of these days, then she sighed softly and said with emotion: "Time flies so fast, you have lived in my house for a long time."

Paimon chuckled, with a hint of mischief and gratitude in his voice.

"Thank you, Amber, for letting us stay at your house. We're sorry to bother you these days."

Amber shook her head, a warm smile forming on her lips.

"It's okay. Otherwise, this big house would seem empty if I were the only one living there. If you guys come and live here, it will make my house more lively."

After saying that, Amber looked around, looked at Paimeng and Ying with some confusion and asked, "By the way, where is Shao Yun? I haven't seen him so early in the morning."

Paimon scratched his head. She was the last one to get up today, so she cast a questioning look at Ying.

Paimeng replied, "Oh, Shao Yun said he was going to buy some outdoor supplies, and I asked him to say goodbye to the others."

Amber frowned slightly when she heard this, and seemed a little confused about the word "goodbye".

"Farewell? That seems a little too solemn a word."

Ying seemed to have had her pain point touched, and she shrugged and explained.

"We have been in Mond for so long, it doesn't seem right to leave without a word. It's not right for me to say goodbye, so I'll ask him to say goodbye to his friends and express his gratitude."

After listening to Ying's explanation, Amber nodded to show her understanding.

Considering the contributions of Ying and Shao Yun, a farewell party among friends would be considered small. At least an event of the scale of the Wind Flower Festival or the Badminton Festival could show the gratitude of the Mond people to the two.

But if this is really the case, it will delay the trip of the three people.

"In that case, as a farewell gift, I will treat you to fried meat with carrots in honey sauce. I have always said that I would bring you to try it, and now that you are about to leave, I will treat you to it."

When Paimeng heard about the fried meat with honey-sauce carrots, he recalled the daily meals of fish and meat and felt a little nauseous.

But seeing Amber's enthusiasm, he didn't want to spoil her fun.

So she nodded and forced a smile.

"Yeah, ok, thanks Amber."

……

On the other side, Shao Yun "looted" Mond's Department Store under Blanche's shocked gaze, and almost demolished the house and moved away.

Then, in front of Blanche, Shao Yun put all his things into the Eastern Legend backpack.

"Good-bye, Miss Blanche."

Blanche looked at the empty shelves, the warehouse where a thief would steal two bags of flour, and the several bags of Mora on the counter, and fell into deep thought.

Asking an eternal question.

"How can he put so many things in that small bag?"

……

Shao Yun walked through the bustling streets, walked up the steps, and arrived at the headquarters of the Knights.

He pushed open the heavy door of the Knights' headquarters, turned left, and stopped in front of Captain Qin's office.

He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then slowly opened the door.

"Hello, Captain Qin, are you busy?" Shao Yun greeted politely, breaking the silence in the office.

Captain Qin raised his head and saw that it was Shao Yun, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

She put down the documents in her hand, poured a cup of coffee for Shao Yun, and said with a smile: "Shao Yun, why are you here? What happened?"

Shao Yun sat on the chair in front of Qin's desk, took a sip of the still steaming coffee and said, "We are going to Liyue, so we came here to say goodbye to you."

Upon hearing this, Captain Qin subconsciously glanced at the clock on the wall and sighed, "Time flies so fast. In a blink of an eye, you are leaving."

She paused, then asked with concern, "Do you need me to send a team of knights to escort you? The journey to Liyue is long and dangerous."

If your knights in Mond could ride horses, I would agree with your idea, but ordinary knights can't run faster than horses, and they might even be a burden to us.

Shao Yun smiled and shook his head, saying, "No need, Captain Qin. With me here, there will be no danger. Besides, we don't want to distract your Knights because of our own affairs. You are already busy enough, and I don't want to cause you any more trouble."

After hearing what Shao Yun said, Captain Qin pursed her lips, seeming to feel a little guilty, as if she had not been able to help Shao Yun and Ying much.

Thinking of Ying, Qin glanced at the door and asked in confusion: "By the way, where is the Honor Knight? Why didn't she come with you?"

Shao Yun blew on his coffee and answered Captain Qin's question.

"Ying isn't very good at saying goodbye, and it's not like we'll never see each other again, so we decided to keep things simple and tell you all so you don't get worried when you can't find us."

After listening to Shao Yun's narration, Qin nodded, and then the two talked about recent events.

Shao Yun seemed to remember something. He raised his head, looked at Qin, and asked, "By the way, Captain Qin, what happened to that 'strange bird'?"

Qin was slightly stunned, then gently wiped her neck, indicating the final fate of the strange bird.

"We listed the crimes of the strange bird one by one, theft, robbery, murder... We conducted a fair trial. Then, we handed him over to Kaia, who will handle the follow-up matters."

After hearing this, Shao Yun frowned, seeming a little dissatisfied. Why didn't he call him when he was killing him? He really wanted to see what he looked like before he died!

"When did it happen?"

Qin looked out the window, her eyes revealing a hint of mixed emotions. She said softly, "It was the day after Sister Giuliana came back."

After hearing this, Shao Yun couldn't help but admire the Monds' spirit of protecting their own children. The strange bird had been imprisoned for so many days, so why was it executed the day after Gilliana's affair was exposed?

Sgrochi's group of people are dead. As long as the strange bird dies, the Mond Treasure Hunting Group will surely fall into chaos, and no one will care about a missing member of the treasure hunting group.

As long as Gilliana refuses to admit it, no one will know about her past and she will be completely innocent.

Shao Yun raised his eyebrows and teased, "Captain Qin, is there any connection between the strange bird and Gilliana?"

Qin said the words that she had prepared long ago.

"Giliana is a nun of the West Wind Church. Unfortunately, she was captured by the treasure-stealing group. You cooperated with the West Wind Church and rescued her. I am deeply grateful for your heroic act and am willing to pay you a reward."

Shao Yun listened to Qin's answer. Her implication was that she would not pursue Gilliana's past, and acknowledged that she was an innocent nun. She also hoped that Shao Yun would not delve into the connection between the two things, and was willing to use Mora to shut Shao Yun up.

"You are really an excellent leader, hardworking, kind but never soft-hearted. But you don't have to give me the reward, Miss Weier has already given it to me. If you really want to give it to me, you can send it to Ying through the Adventurer's Association."

After saying that, Shao Yun drank the coffee in his hand and stood up.

"I have other people I need to see, and please give my regards to your sister."

Qin stood up and looked at him and smiled.

"I wish you a safe journey."

……

Shao Yun pushed open the door of the Knights' Library, and Lisa, who was sitting bored at her workstation, immediately looked at him.

As if he had found someone to cheer him up, he immediately stood up and walked in front of Shao Yun.

"Oh, tall and handsome gentleman, how come you have time to come to my place today?" Her voice was gentle and sweet, with a hint of unique meaning.

If it were in the past, Shao Yun might have smiled, but now, forget it.

Shao Yun looked at Lisa's seductive eyes, feeling nothing in his heart.

"Ying and I are going to Liyue, so we came here to say goodbye. That's all."

When Lisa heard this, a hint of interest flashed in her eyes, and her voice was full of longing and envy for traveling.

"Oh? Traveling is great. You can see a lot of beautiful scenery."

After saying this, Lisa looked towards the door unconsciously, as if she was expecting something.

However, when she found that the familiar figure did not appear at the door, a look of disappointment appeared on her face.

"Where's the little cutie?" There was a hint of loss and regret in her voice.

Shao Yun shrugged and said helplessly: "Ying is not good at saying goodbye, so I will do it for you."

Lisa stared at Shao Yun's face, which remained calm, and as if by magic, she took out the special magic supplement that Shao Yun had given her.

The potion bottle swayed slightly as she shook it, and she smiled slightly, a hint of curiosity in her voice.

"Well, since you are leaving, can you tell me the ingredients of this potion before we part? Even Albedo can't tell its ingredients. I really want to know the secret."

Upon hearing this, Shao Yun stretched out three fingers. His expression remained calm as water, and there was a hint of casualness in his tone.

"Healing, restoring physical strength, and refreshing the mind are basically these three effects. If you mix the three corresponding potions together, the effects should be similar."

After hearing this, Lisa did not give up asking questions immediately, but slowly approached Shao Yun. She blinked her left eye gently, with a cunning light flashing in her eyes, and her voice was full of seductive charm.

"If you tell me, I'll give you something unexpected. What do you think?"

Shao Yun looked at Lisa's approaching face and frowned slightly. He looked Lisa up and down and took two steps back.

"I already have a girlfriend. Your trick won't work on me. Forget it."

"really?"

Lisa leaned forward and was about to lean on Shao Yun's shoulder.

Shao Yun had already placed his right hand on the Scofield revolver at his waist, ready to pull it out at any time to defend his "innocence".

Suddenly, she took out a brooch that was sparkling with charming luster from somewhere, she raised her eyebrows slightly, and a meaningful smile hung on the corners of her mouth.

"This brooch was specially ordered from a local luxury store when I was studying in Xumi. Its value is incomparable to ordinary things. If you are willing to tell me the ingredients of the potion, this brooch will be yours. You can give it to your little cutie Ying, she will definitely like it."

Shao Yun was stunned when he heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he asked doubtfully: "I don't think I told you my girlfriend's name, you..."

Lisa interrupted him before he finished speaking. She blinked her eyes and smiled playfully, "Isn't there only a little cutie named Ying by your side? Do you think I was talking about that little guy Paimon?"

That makes a lot of sense, I can't argue with it...

Lisa gently shook the brooch in her hand, and the sunlight through the window danced on the brooch, flashing charming brilliance. She looked at Shao Yun with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

"How about it? Do you agree to this deal? I believe that a little cutie like Ying will love this brooch very much."

Shao Yun was silent for a while. It’s not that he is selfish. Even if I tell you what the raw materials of this thing are, you can’t get it.

Finally, he shook his head and pulled out a brand new bottle of special-effect miracle supplement from his bag.

"Let's take a step back. I'll trade you this brooch for the special-effect magic tonic. What do you think?"

Lisa looked at the potion in Shao Yun's hand, then looked at the brooch in her hand, and seemed a little hesitant.

But in the end, she handed the brooch to Shao Yun with a lost expression on her face.

"Well, well, since you don't want to say it, forget it. This brooch can be my blessing to you and Ying."

He handed over the potion in one hand and took the brooch in the other.

Shao Yun took the brooch, put it in his backpack, and prepared to leave.

Just as he was about to leave, Lisa suddenly said meaningfully, "I wish you and the little cutie happiness. Remember to keep your voice down at night and don't disturb that little guy Paimon."

Shao Yun staggered, as if he had tripped over a non-existent threshold, and turned back to glare at Lisa.

"Don't worry, I'll give Paimon sleeping pills when the time comes."
