Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Shao Yun had just stepped out of the Mingjin Taisha Shrine when the system interface popped up with a line of eye-catching text displayed on it.

[You let Yaeko go... I really didn't expect that. ]

Shao Yun's face suddenly turned gloomy, and he asked in a cold tone: "Can you beat Istaru?"

However, the system did not seem to understand the intention of his question and responded somewhat confusingly.

[You didn't kill Yae God, so Istaru shouldn't come to trouble you. You don't have to worry too much...]

Hearing this answer, Shao Yun became more and more excited.

"Answer me! Stop giving me this useless nonsense!"

Faced with Shao Yun's strong reaction, the system seemed a little at a loss. It hesitated for a moment, then asked cautiously.

【Why are you so obsessed with wanting to know the answer? 】

At this time, Shao Yun walked forward quickly, gritted his teeth, and said, "I don't know, maybe it's just to seek a sense of security..."

"Just like it said, I chose to follow Ying, and it gave me the ability to kill."

"Although I am extremely reluctant to admit it, this is the truth."

Having said that, Shao Yun couldn't help but repeat its warning.

“Thanks is the magical power that allows you to successfully achieve your desires. If you deny this magical power after gaining the success it grants, you will lose everything you have gained.”

Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, the system quickly changed the subject to ease the current situation.

[Let's not talk about these heavy things, let's talk about the next task. At present, it seems that the only thing left is to find your brother-in-law, right? ]

Shao Yun took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down a little.

"That's right, but then again, do you think it's possible for me to run into that guy Fuchigami in Inazuma?"

After a quick analysis, the system gave a concise and clear answer.

[From a probability perspective, this possibility is very low... close to letting Paimon go to the Church Order Institute. ]

Seeing that the probability was very low, Shao Yun pinched the bridge of his nose and muttered, "Okay, I understand. I'll go back to find Ying first."

……

Just as Shao Yun was going down the mountain, suddenly, a figure came up quickly from below, and the two sides met face to face.

Shao Yun looked closely and saw that it was Jiuqi Shinobu!

He was originally a little depressed, but his expression changed.

"Kyuki-nin?"

At the same time, Jiuqi Shinobu obviously did not expect to meet Shao Yun here unexpectedly, and his eyes above the mask revealed a look of shock.

"Mr. Shao Yun, wow, when did you return to Inazuma?"

Shao Yun shrugged helplessly and replied with a smile: "I just came back not long ago. But you, why are you here? Don't tell me that you left the Arotaki sect and returned to Mingjin Taisha to be a shrine maiden."

Hearing this, Kuki Shinobu was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and he quickly shook his head vigorously like a rattle.

"Oh, don't worry, I will never become a shrine maiden! This time, I was just entrusted by the boss to deliver an invitation letter to Master Yae."

When Shao Yun heard that the invitation letter was from Arawaki Ichito, he subconsciously asked without even thinking, "Invitation letter? Could it be some insect fighting competition organized by that guy again?"

Facing Shao Yun's guess, Jiu Qi Ren quickly waved his hands and patiently explained: "No, this is not a bug fighting competition, it's a singing competition!"

"According to what the boss said, the theme seems to be praising peace or something."

When Shao Yun heard that this event was not an insect fighting competition but a singing competition, and the theme was peace-related, he couldn't help but feel very curious and surprised.

"Sing praises of peace?" Shao Yun looked at Jiuqi Shinobu with a puzzled look, expecting her further explanation.

Jiuqi nodded, then explained the reason succinctly and clearly.

"That's right. Many people died in the Inazuma Civil War. Even some of the good friends that the boss made when he was in prison..."

Having said that, Jiuqi Shinobu felt that it might not be convenient to continue talking about these things, so he paused slightly, skipped a paragraph and continued talking.

"Plus what you said when we were in the Abyss... So, Boss hopes that by holding this singing competition with the theme of peace, we can help everyone get rid of the pain brought by the war as soon as possible and embrace a better life again."

After listening to Jiuqi Shinobu's detailed account, Shao Yun couldn't help but feel emotional.

"I didn't expect that. After experiencing the reality, I thought Arotaki Ichito would be depressed for a long time..."

Jiuqi Shinobu showed a complicated expression in his eyes, and responded helplessly and as if he was used to it: "The boss is always careless..."

At this moment, Shao Yun suddenly reached out and touched his chin. After thinking for a moment, he said, thinking it was very stupid: "Uh... Well, I want to ask a very stupid question. Didn't you send me an invitation letter?"

Hearing this, Jiuqi Shinobu was stunned at first, but because he was extremely speechless, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

She laughed and shook her head and said, "Haha, this is a really stupid question!"

"But if you want to go, you're welcome to go."

Shao Yun was just joking and he would definitely not go.

"It's too ironic and weird for a warmonger like me to attend a performance praising peace. I won't go."

After saying that, he raised his hand nonchalantly and pointed casually in the direction of the Narukami Taisha Shrine on the mountain.

"Look, the fox you are looking for is in the shrine above. Just go there and you will definitely find her." Shao Yun said with a relaxed look.

However, when the word "fox" reached Kuki Shinobu's ears, she was stunned for a moment.

After a long while, Jiuqi Shinobu came back to his senses as if waking up from a dream, and asked stutteringly: "Fox... Fox? You are not talking about Lady Yae... This... This is the first time I heard someone call her like this..."

Shao Yun did not answer her, but walked around her and walked down the mountain on his own.

As he walked, Shao Yun was still muttering to himself.

"Calling her 'fox' is already giving her enough face and the greatest respect!"

……

Inazuma Castle, Hanamizaka.

After the civil war, this place is still bustling with people coming and going.

And next to this bustling street is the Naganohara Fireworks Shop.

At this moment, a warm atmosphere permeates the living room of the store.

I saw Xiaogong and Ying sitting cross-legged on the ground, chatting.

Little Paimon, on the other hand, was sitting at the table leisurely, savoring with relish the seaweed senbei that Xiao Gong had just carefully prepared and drinking the freshly brewed strong tea.

As Ying described her adventures in vivid detail, Xiao Gong could not help but listen fascinated.

She propped her chin up with her hand, her eyes sparkling with envy, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Wow, your trip sounds so fascinating! I also want to experience such a colorful life."

Hearing Xiao Gong's praise, Ying smiled slightly and responded calmly: "In fact, our journey is not always smooth."

“Along the way, troubles and opportunities often go hand in hand. But overall, the outside world is really exciting, with many unexpected surprises.”

Xiao Gong silently repeated the word "wonderful" that Ying had just said in his mind, wanting to feel the charm of this word more deeply.

Just then, Ying suddenly had an idea and extended an invitation enthusiastically.

"By the way, Xiao Palace, Liyue is going to celebrate the Lantern Festival. Do you have any ideas... How about we go and see it together?"

Ying's words instantly ignited Xiaogong's desire to go out for a walk.

And if you think about it carefully, there won't be any conflict between Liyue's Lantern Festival and Inazuma's festival, so it wouldn't be a problem for me to go and join in the fun.

Thinking of this, Xiao Gong nodded excitedly and said, "Okay, the lockdown has just been lifted, let's go together, if you don't mind..."

Ying didn't mind at all, so it was decided to take Xiaogong to Liyue to celebrate the Lantern Festival.
