Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Chapter 473: Greetings with Zheping

After three days of calm and uneventful sailing, the Death Star finally slowly sailed into the offshore waters of Inazuma.

Shao Yun stood on the wide deck, gazing at the outlying island in the distance that could not be more familiar.

"I have to admit, this place is worthy of being called the Eternal Kingdom! Even the gods have been replaced, but the scenery on this island has remained unchanged. I really don't know how they did it."

Shao Yun muttered to himself as he continued to carefully observe every corner of the island.

Suddenly, his eyes were attracted by a special place, which was the place where the Hiiragi family's house was once burned down by him.

The area still looks like a ruin, with no signs of repair or reconstruction.

Shao Yun frowned slightly, turned his head to look at Fengyuan Manye who was also looking at the direction of the island, and asked, "Is the burned-down Hiiragi family house still deserted?"

Hearing Shao Yun's question, Fengyuan Manye narrowed his eyes slightly and cast his gaze towards the ruins of the Hiiragi family in the distance. After a moment of silence, he slowly explained: "As far as I know, the Coral Palace believes that there is not much practical significance in rebuilding this ruin."

"Maybe they have other more important considerations..." After saying that, he shook his head slightly, feeling a little puzzled about this matter.

After listening to this, Shao Yun sorted out his current situation of Inazuma.

Hiiragi Chisato is the only one left in the Hiiragi family. The remaining family members of the Kanjo Bugyo have been almost wiped out, so there is no point in rebuilding the family house.

Of course, the most important thing is the Coral Palace. According to Kamisato Ayato, they have already taken over the Kanjo Bugyo.

The Coral Palace rebuilt the Hiiragi family residence, but who will live there? The Far Country Supervisory Office already has enough space for the island office.

Although he figured it out, Shao Yun still had a new problem.

"Why not rebuild a fox statue on the original site? Or build a shrine or something like that?"

Fengyuan Wanye almost choked on his own saliva when he heard Shao Yun's whimsical idea. Are you sure you want to build this thing in this place where every inch of land is valuable and there is a lot of business?

"Ahem, this..."

Looking at Fengyuan Manye's current appearance, he casually said, "What I asked may be a bit beyond the scope..."

……

After reaching the island, let’s put the matters of the Kamisato brothers and sisters aside for the time being.

As soon as Ying and Paimon stepped onto the island, they were hurriedly stopped by President Kurisu of the International Chamber of Commerce.

Chairman Kurisu earnestly requested Ying and Paimon to check the accounts to determine whether there were any problems such as underpayment of profits.

Ying never took the net profit from the International Chamber of Commerce seriously and directly rejected it.

Besides not caring, Ying and Paimeng are not accountants... and they don't know how to check the accounts...

Faced with such a persistent and serious President Kurisu, Ying tried to refuse in every possible way, but in the end she could not prevail against the other party. She had to nod and agree helplessly, and followed him obediently to check the accounts.

Shao Yun waited quietly outside the International Chamber of Commerce, waiting for Ying and Paimeng to come out.

At this time, Shao Yun was leaning against the low wall outside the Chamber of Commerce bored and began to think about how to talk to Yae Shinto, when Zheping, who had not been seen for a long time, appeared.

Speaking of which, Zheping had actually seen Shao Yun from a distance a long time ago, but the clothes Shao Yun was wearing at the moment were very different from the image he remembered.

The Eastern Legend suit is paired with a black gambler's hat. With such a unique outfit, even if Pinghai from Liyue were here, he probably wouldn't be able to recognize Shao Yun immediately.

Only when he got closer did Zheping see Shao Yun's appearance clearly, and then he shouted excitedly: "General Shao Yun, you are back to Inazuma!"

Hearing the shout, Shao Yun, who was originally distracted, came back to his senses and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

When he saw Zheping, who was once his subordinate, he showed an interested smile on his face and raised his hand to wave gently to greet him.

"Wow, Teppei, long time no see, what have you been doing lately?"

When Zheping heard Shao Yun asking him what he had been doing recently, he couldn't help but straighten his chest and a hint of pride appeared on his face.

"Hehe, to be honest, I have an important responsibility now! Lord Coral Palace has entrusted me with an important task and given me full authority to manage all the samurai under the Kanjo Bugyo. You can say that I am the person in charge of the security of this outlying island!"

Shao Yun was also happy and relieved for Zheping.

"Wow! I never thought you would have achieved such success in Inazuma, even becoming the manager of an outlying island!"

Zheping felt a little embarrassed by the compliment, and quickly scratched his head, and responded modestly: "Oh, General Shao Yun, you are really too kind!"

"In fact, I am not really an island manager. I am just responsible for maintaining law and order here."

When Shao Yun heard the words "responsible for public security", the names of sheriff or police chief instantly came to his mind.

You know, the sheriff is no small figure in those small towns in the West.

So, he laughed and teased: "Haha, you are really good! Look how fast you are promoted!"

"I thought that he was just a logistician of the Coral Palace, and later became the captain of the Herring Squadron, and now he has transformed himself into a sheriff of the outlying island!"

Then, Shao Yun patted Zheping on the shoulder and encouraged him: "The power of the sheriff is extraordinary, and the responsibility is heavy! You must seize the opportunity and work hard. Maybe in the future, you will have the hope of sitting on the position of the head of the Tianling Fengxing!"

When Zheping heard Shao Yun say that he would have the opportunity to manage Tianling Fengxing in the future, although he tried his best to show humility, the smile that he could not hide still exposed his uncontrollable excitement.

"If I were to take over Goro-sama's position, I would find it difficult to achieve that level."

However, when Zheping mentioned that he wanted to take over Wulang's job, Shao Yun couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.

"What? Goro is now in charge of the Tenryo Bugyo?"

Teppei nodded quickly and explained in detail.

"That's right. General Shao Yun may not be aware that after you left Inazuma a few months ago, General Goro was appointed by Lord Coral Palace to manage the Tenryo Bugyo."

Hearing that Goro was in charge of Tenryo Bugyo, the implication was that he was in charge of the shogunate army, and these truly became official troops.

Shao Yun then asked, "What about the Coral Palace Army? Don't tell me that Wu Lang has to manage the Coral Palace Army and the Shogunate Army at the same time."

After all, in Shao Yun's opinion, does Wu Lang have such a strong working ability? Don't be exhausted...

Zheping looked at Shao Yun and asked who was in charge of the Coral Palace Army now, and said as a matter of course: "Nominally, the Coral Palace Army is now under your control."

When Shao Yun heard that the Coral Palace Army was now under his control, his eyes widened with suspicion.

"What? Under my jurisdiction? How is that possible!"

Zheping, who was standing by, looked at Shao Yun's shocked expression, gave an affirmative smile, and began to patiently explain the reason to Shao Yun.

"That's right, General Shao Yun, you are one of the generals of our Haizhi Island. Since Lord Goro went to Tianling to perform the duties, according to common sense, the Coral Palace Army should be under your command."

"It's just that since you are not in Inazuma at this time, Master Coral Palace will take over the management for the time being."

As Zheping spoke, he looked into the distance with admiration, full of respect for the Coral Palace.

Then, as if he suddenly thought of something, Teppei frowned slightly, sighed and said, "Alas, speaking of the current Coral Palace Master, it's really too hard."

"Not only does she need to take care of the complicated and trivial government affairs of Haizhi Island, she also has to preside over various important sacrificial activities, and at the same time she is responsible for commanding the Coral Palace Army. I really don't know if she can handle such a high-intensity work pressure..."

Shao Yun touched his chin thoughtfully and muttered softly in a low voice.

"Hmm... Is this a game of checks and balances, or is it intended to gradually digest and absorb the power left over by the shogunate?"

"But no matter what, Miss Xinhai, you can truly be called a resourceful, shrewd and capable military strategist!"

Zheping listened to Shao Yun mumbling something and asked curiously, "General Shao Yun, what are you talking about?"

Shao Yun quickly covered it up and said, "Nothing."

……

After Shao Yun talked with Zhe Ping for a while, Zhe Ping hurriedly said goodbye to Shao Yun and left first because he still had work to deal with.

Just at this moment, the door of the International Chamber of Commerce slowly opened, and Ying and Paimeng came out.

Shao Yun immediately saw the clear eyes of Ying and Paimeng, which showed that all the knowledge passed through their brains without leaving any trace.

The implication is a stupid expression.

He couldn't help but ask curiously: "What's the situation?"

Paimon covered his head tightly with his little hands and muttered dizzily.

"Ah, Paimon feels so dizzy! I could understand every word that President Kurisu just said. But when they put it together, I can't understand a single word."

What Ying just said to Kurisu went in one ear and out the other.

She slowed down. She looked at Paimeng who was still dizzy beside her, and suggested with a smile: "How about I just send you, Paimeng, to Xumi's teaching academy to study hard."

Upon hearing this, Paimeng waved his hands anxiously and protested loudly: "Wow... No! What good will it do you to send me to the Church of the Holy Spirit to study? How can you become a bad adult who encourages learning!"

Facing Paimeng's strong opposition, Ying didn't take it seriously and responded as a matter of course: "You learn more knowledge and make money to support me."

Paimeng pouted and said coquettishly, "Woo...how can you be like this? Shouldn't you be the one earning money to support me?"

Ying spread her hands helplessly and responded calmly: "That's the truth. Besides, I'm not the only one supporting you now. Shao Yun is also there. We are both working hard to support you, little greedy cat."

Hearing this, Paimon seemed to react suddenly. He was stunned at first, then touched his head embarrassedly and muttered to himself: "Ah... yeah... it seems to be true... okay..."

Then, she gently placed her right hand on her chest and said to Ying with a serious and sincere face: "Thank you for working so hard to accept various commissions and earn money to support me... If it weren't for you, I might still be drifting in the river now."

Ying was very pleased to see Paimon's understanding. She smiled and nodded, saying gently, "Well, you're welcome!"

At this time, Paimeng turned his gaze to Shao Yun beside him, showing a silly smile, and expressed his gratitude to him sincerely.

"Hehe, of course we have to thank Shao Yun too, thanks to you for taking such good care of us all the time!"

However, what was unexpected was that Shao Yun actually raised his eyebrows with interest and deliberately teased Paimeng: "Well, since you want to thank me, Paimeng, can you call me 'Dad'?"

Such a disappointing answer made Paimon's face turn red instantly, and his fur stood up like an annoyed kitten.

"Ah! How much you want a child! You're making me so mad, I'm ignoring you!"

Paimeng stomped his feet in the air angrily, turned his head away angrily and no longer looked at Shao Yun.

……

Paimeng said that he ignored Shao Yun, it was just a three-minute heat, and after a while, Paimeng's anger subsided.

After leaving the outlying island, the three of them passed through the mudflats between the outlying island and Narukami Island and arrived at Konda Village on Narukami Island.

Walk east, pass the town forest, pass Kamisato House, and you will reach the Narukami Taisha Shrine on Kagemukai Mountain.

Go south and cross the White Fox Field to reach Inazuma Castle.

Shao Yun glanced at the road heading east, and said to Ying and Paimeng, "I want to meet the Eightfold Son of God. What about you? How about coming together?"

Paimon pointed the way to Inazuma Castle and said, "We want to go see Xiao Gong. After all, we haven't seen her for a while and we miss her a lot."

The first thing they did when they came to Inazuma was to find Xiaogong to play. This is enough to show that in the hearts of Ying and Paimeng, Xiaogong holds a very important position.

Seeing that Ying and Paimeng were going to play with Xiao Palace, Shao Yun readily agreed. He had 100% trust in Xiao Palace.

"Okay, by the way, bring good news to Xiao Palace for me."

He himself had a very high opinion of Xiao Gong. If he had not had to deal with the matter of the Eightfold Son of God, Shao Yun would have followed Ying and Paimeng to meet Xiao Gong.

……

After temporarily separating from Ying and Paimon, he raised his hand, put it to his lips, and blew a clear and loud whistle.

Not long after, Boadicea came running over.

Shao Yun jumped onto the saddle nimbly. After sitting firmly, he gently patted Boadicea's slender neck and said softly, "Girl, we are going to do something interesting..."

After saying that, he lowered his voice and whispered like a devil: "Let's go find that cunning Yae Shinko and scare her."

……

At this moment, in the Mingshen Taisha Shrine far away on Yingxiang Mountain, a leisurely pink-haired fox was enjoying delicious fried tofu with relish, with an open light novel on his knees.

Suddenly, a strange wind blew, causing the sacred cherry tree in the Narujin Taisha Shrine to rustle in the wind.

The wind swept past Yae Miko, flipping the pages of the light novel on her lap several times.

A few pink cherry blossom petals floated down with the strange wind and happened to fall on Yae Shinko's book.

She stretched out her slender fingers and carefully picked up the petals that fell on the book. She narrowed her beautiful eyes and muttered softly, "It's really strange. Why is the wind a little strong today?"
