Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Just as Shao Yun was sitting quietly in the chair, staring at the sea in a trance, an extremely familiar voice suddenly came into his ears.

"This familiar smell...Mr. Shao Yun? Long time no see!"

Shao Yun was startled and turned his head quickly with surprise on his face, only to see the person who surprised him - Fengyuan Manye, standing behind him with a smile.

"Wow, Manye! How did you end up in a place like Sumi?"

Fengyuan Manye smiled slightly, walked over to Shao Yun and sat down, then pointed to a huge sailing ship anchored in the distant Omos Port.

"The Southern Cross Fleet has accepted a mission to escort its diplomats to visit Xumi. I also came here with the fleet, and it has been several days."

Shao Yun looked in the direction Fengyuan Manye pointed, and sure enough, the magnificent Death Star was docked steadily in the harbor, its sails fluttering gently in the wind.

Shao Yun couldn't help feeling a little surprised when he thought that Wan Ye had actually been in Xumi for several days.

After carefully examining the Death Star that was parked at the port, Shao Yun turned around and teased Wan Ye with a hint of joking, "Escort? I feel like you guys have been recruited by Inazuma?"

Hearing this, Fengyuan Manye was stunned at first, then reached out and touched his chin, with a faint smile on his face.

He asked in an unusually calm tone: "Hearing what you said, why do we feel like a group of pirates?"

Seeing this, Shao Yun quickly waved his hand casually and said with a smile: "Haha, I'm just joking with you."

Then, Shao Yun asked, "By the way, have you seen Ying and Paimeng?"

Fengyuan Manye nodded first, but then shook his head and said thoughtfully: "Well... I haven't seen them in person yet, but I have heard some news about them."

"I heard that they participated in a very special competition, and it seems that these two have very famous nicknames, 'Golden Shooting Star' and 'Platinum Companion Star'."

After hearing this, Shao Yun's eyes lit up and he reminded, "Oh! The competition you are talking about should be the 'Yue Lian Cup Tamer Competition' that is currently being held in full swing."

Fengyuan Manye nodded repeatedly as if he had suddenly realized something, and responded, "Yes, that's the name. By the way, Mr. Shao Yun, didn't you participate in the Yuelian Cup Tamer Competition this time?"

Shao Yun shook his head and replied helplessly: "Alas, there is nothing I can do. I have too many things to deal with and cannot spare the time to participate in such an interesting competition."

After saying these words, Shao Yun paused for a moment, and then shifted the topic to Fengyuan Manye.

"So what about you, Manye, how have you been doing lately?"

Fengyuan Manye raised his head slightly, thought for a moment, and then shook his head gently.

“There’s nothing new happening when you’re sailing on the sea.”

"But it's not like there's nothing at all. After I came to Xumi, I heard the big sister say that Liyue will soon usher in the annual Lantern Festival. I wonder if this is considered a new thing?"

Upon hearing that Liyue was going to celebrate a festival, Shao Yun exclaimed, "Liyue is going to celebrate the Lantern Festival? Wow, that's great."

Fengyuan Manye took this opportunity to ask Shao Yun about his life experiences in Xumi.

"So, what about you? How was your time in Xumi?"

When Shao Yun heard Fengyuan Manye asking about himself, he gave an interesting answer.

"Hmm... How should I put it? This day is not good, but it is not too bad either. I killed a lot of people, some of whom may not have deserved to die, but they died anyway."

When Fengyuan Wanye heard that Shao Yun had killed many people again, he was not surprised, but felt it was commonplace.

So, he simply asked calmly, "Is it more than the shogunate troops you killed in Inazuma?"

Shao Yun leaned back slightly, against the back of the chair, was silent for a while, and shook his head uncertainly.

"The number of people doesn't matter, but it feels different from killing people on the battlefield."

Fengyuan Manye felt that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly depressing, so he quickly changed the subject and said to Shao Yun with a smile: "Okay, let's not talk about these depressing things anymore! It's better to think about happy things."

"For example, do you plan to go to Liyue with Ying and Paimon to participate in the Lantern Festival? Big Sister has been thinking about this."

When he heard about the excitement of participating in the Lantern Festival, Shao Yun couldn't help but let out a wry smile and said, "Based on my understanding of the two of them, Ying and Paimeng will definitely want to join in the fun."

"But I need to take some time to go to Inazuma. By the way, I wonder if you can help me communicate with Miss Beidou?"

Fengyuan Manye immediately understood the intention behind Shao Yun's words.

He responded very generously and openly: "That's not a difficult thing, maybe in a week, how about that?"

Shao Yun quickly reached out and gently patted Fengyuan Manye's shoulder, and said sincerely: "Oh, thank you."

Fengyuan Manye was very polite. He smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Don't be so formal. We are all friends. It is only natural for us to help each other. No need to thank me."

……

A few days later, the Yuelian Cup Beast Taming Competition ushered in the finals.

Since Heinie died, the contestants who finally stood on the final stage became Ying and Leila.

After a fierce competition, the outcome was as Shao Yun expected.

The powerful Ying had superior skills and successfully defeated his opponent Leila, winning the championship of this competition.

Although Leila lost the game, she still achieved a good result of runner-up.

In fact, for Leila, her main goal of participating in this competition has already been achieved, that is, to enter the top eight and take away the mushroom beast partner.

However, just when everything was about to end successfully, an accident happened as expected.

In the secret realm where the finals were held, the organizer Elchingen suddenly appeared with a group of Fatui!

Elchingen, who has been the organizer of the competition, is actually a member of the Fatui.

He carefully planned and held this grand mushroom beast competition in order to reduce people's vigilance against mushroom beasts by making them gradually become popular pets among the people of Xumi.

When the time is right, Elchingen will use the backdoor program implanted in the "Mind Orb" in advance to remotely control these seemingly cute and harmless mushroom beasts and create chaos throughout Xumi.

However, before Ying could take action to stop them, the great disciplinary officer Sainuo arrived in time with a group of thirty newly recruited members and arrested these Fatui.

Elchingen and the other Fatui, who were originally arrogant, were instantly put into a passive situation of being beaten. They were completely unable to resist and could only surrender obediently.

In a short while, inside the competition venue, Elchingen and his accomplices were all subdued and pinned to the ground by the thirty-man group, without any trace of their previous arrogance.

Elchingen was pressed on the cold ground, looking at the stern-faced Seno in front of him. He struggled and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Grand Disciplinary Officer, how could you appear here by such a coincidence? What is going on?"

Seno just shook off the non-existent dust on his body with an expressionless face, and responded in an extremely cold tone.

"I am just following orders and am responsible for clearing out the fools who are still remaining in Xumi.

"And you are just an insignificant little character that we found when we followed the clues."

When Elchingen heard the word "follow the clues", he suddenly became extremely excited.

"Follow the clues? What on earth do you mean by that?!"

In the face of Elchingen's problems, Seno still maintained his chilling indifference.

"Didn't you receive the relevant notice? The Fatui have now been expressly prohibited by Lord Grass God from entering Xumi, and all Fatui in Xumi must evacuate within half a month."

"Now that the deadline has come, fools like you who are still staying in Xumi, humph..."

Before he could finish his words, Senor's divine eye suddenly flashed a dazzling purple light, foreshadowing that some ominous ending was about to come.

After hearing the news about the Fatui evacuating Xumi, Elchingen's eyes widened.

"What?! Why wasn't I notified? What's going on?!"

Seno watched Elchingen's clown-like performance with an expressionless face.

He just raised his hand and waved it casually, saying in a cold and emotionless voice: "Take him away!"

Hearing this, Elchingen panicked instantly, began to struggle desperately, and shouted loudly: "Oh! I really didn't know about this! Why didn't anyone inform me? Doctor, save me!"

From his terrified expression and incoherent words, it can be seen that the former subordinates of the "Doctor", the second-in-command of the Fatui executive, obviously had not received any news about the evacuation.

There is no doubt that he has been ruthlessly abandoned by the organization he once followed as an insignificant little character.

As for what kind of tragic end Elchingen will eventually face, that is no longer a problem that Shao Yun and others need to worry about.

……

As Elchingen was forcibly taken away from the scene, the originally highly anticipated Yuelian Cup Animal Taming Competition ended hastily in such a confused atmosphere.

Although the event ended in such an unexpected way, subsequent matters such as the distribution of prize money must still be carried out as planned.

However, the previous clause that promised the top eight players that they could take the participating mushroom beasts home as rewards was directly invalidated.

Because of the absence of Heinie, all the mushroom beasts participating in the competition will now be taken over by the House of Ecclesiastical Orders.

In order to minimize possible resistance from the contestants, the people from the Order Institute lied and said that they would properly accommodate the participating mushroom beasts.

However, is this really the case?

Leila watched her beloved "Spinning Beast" go farther and farther away until it disappeared from her sight, her heart filled with an indescribable sense of loss.

In the past few days, she and this lovely mushroom beast had been together day and night, and they had already established an extremely deep friendship. Now they were suddenly separated, making her sad.

On the other side, Ying and Paimon also waved goodbye to the "Dong Dong Yarram Hat" to which they had feelings, with reluctance on their faces.

That cute figure was still lingering in front of my eyes before it left, but I had to face the reality of separation.

Then, carrying the generous prize money of the champion, the two of them slowly returned to the inn in Port Omos to rest with heavy steps.

Shao Yun had been observing the dejected expressions on Ying and Paimeng's faces, and felt that he should do something.

While Seno was directing the thirty-man group to use the "Orb of Wisdom" to control the mushroom beasts to leave the Port of Omos in an orderly manner, Shao Yun quickly walked to Seno's side.

"Seno, what are you going to do with these mushroom beasts? Are you really going to properly settle them?"

Hearing the voice, Senuo turned around and quickly scanned the surroundings. After making sure that no one else was nearby, he lowered his voice and replied, "Do you really want to know the truth?"

Shao Yun nodded, raised his chin, and said, "Tell the truth. I will be angry if you tell lies."

Seno gently raised his hand, carefully adjusted the iconic jackal hood on his head, and said: "We will release these mushroom beasts directly into the Wuchou Forest."

"You have to know that mushroom beasts are, after all, a type of monster. Sayings like 'settling them down properly' are just a temporary solution."

After saying this, he paused for a moment, and then added: "So, I hope Mr. Shao Yun can keep this secret and not make the truth of the matter public, okay?"

In fact, Senuo knew very well that if Shao Yun really revealed the truth of the matter, the Ministry of Education would have sufficient reasons to explain.

They could just as well claim that allowing mushroom beasts to return to nature is the best way for them to survive.

However, this is bound to cause a series of troubles and controversies.

After listening to what Seno said, Shao Yun acted quite calmly.

He just shrugged nonchalantly and responded, "I have no interest in interfering with the decisions made by your House of Decrees."

"But if one day in the future, Ying and Paimon ask you about the situation of their mushroom beasts, and you are unable to give a reasonable answer, then you should know the consequences."

At the end of his words, Shao Yun's tone unconsciously took on a hint of threat.

Of course, Seno understood the deep meaning of Shao Yun's words. How the Church used lies to deal with other mushroom beasts was an internal affair of the Church, and he really had no intention of interfering.

But if one day, when Ying and Paimon go to the Church of the Immortal with great anticipation and want to see their once beloved mushroom-beast companions, and the Church of the Immortal is unable to hand over the corresponding mushroom-beasts, the situation may be difficult to handle.

Thinking of this, Seno couldn't help but feel a headache.

I don’t know if it was out of apology for the celebration party or because he was afraid that Shao Yun would cause trouble, but Seno gave Ying and Paimeng’s “Dong Dong Little Round Hat” a privilege.

"Okay, Ying and Paimon's mushroom beasts can be taken care of by the Church Order Institute as an exception, but that's all; the other mushroom beasts..."

Although the Ministry of Education cannot take care of these hundreds of mushroom beasts, it can at least allocate manpower to take care of one.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Shao Yun smiled and patted Senuo on the shoulder.

"that's enough."

Immediately afterwards, Shao Yun turned around and returned to Omos Port, leaving behind a word.

"Good luck, Mr. Senor."
