Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

After Shao Yun finished his conversation with Miss "Nicole" from the Witch Club, he headed for Aru Village without stopping.

Since I had made this trip several times before, I was very familiar with this journey.

Along the way, Shao Yun rode his horse at full speed, and it only took him one night and one day to reach Aru Village in the evening.

As soon as Shao Yun entered Aru Village, he quickly found Candice, who had just finished her afternoon patrol and was preparing to take a break.

Shao Yun hurried forward, smiled and greeted her politely.

"Hello, Miss Candice!"

Seeing Shao Yun coming, Candice's originally slightly tired face instantly broke into a bright smile.

She also waved her hand enthusiastically and responded: "Oh, it turns out that it's Mr. Shao Yun who's back! That's great... By the way, why is Sesos, who was traveling with us, nowhere to be seen?"

Obviously, Candice mistakenly thought that Shao Yun was returning from the desert in the north, and naturally became concerned about the whereabouts of Sesos who was traveling with him.

Shao Yun hesitated for a moment, but soon calmly made up a lie and explained, "Oh, on the way back, Sesos suddenly encountered an urgent matter that needed to be dealt with, so we went our separate ways..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shao Yun was worried that if he continued to delve deeper into the topic, he might reveal a flaw, so he quickly diverted his attention.

"Don't worry about him for now. I need to stay in Aru Village for a few more days this time. Is that convenient?"

When saying this, Shao Yun's eyes revealed a hint of anticipation.

Hearing that Shao Yun wanted to stay in Aru Village for a few days, Candy nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course, no problem! Mr. Shao Yun, welcome, welcome."

Candice smiled and waved at Shao Yun, saying softly, "Come on, as usual, I'll take you to the village chief's house to rest for a while, and then arrange a place for you to stay."

Shao Yun quickly responded: "Thank you so much!"

Candice smiled softly and said gently, "Don't be so polite. Treat Aru Village as your home. You can stay as long as you want."

After saying that, he led Shao Yun towards the village chief's house.

……

In this way, under Candice's enthusiastic arrangement, Shao Yun moved into Aru Village again.

As the days passed, Shao Yun lived a leisurely and comfortable life, but he was always worried about the arrival of Ying and Paimeng.

Before I knew it, ten days had passed.

At noon that day, Shao Yun was sitting in front of the house that Candice had given him, writing in his diary.

……

"Alas, I have done everything I can, but I didn't expect my brother-in-law to fail at the critical moment..."

Shao Yun shook his head helplessly as he wrote.

"Thinking about it carefully, I can't put all the blame on my brother-in-law. Maybe I was too impatient and didn't think things through, which led to this result."

Having written this, Shao Yun raised his head and looked at the scenery around him, feeling filled with emotion.

He continued writing in his diary: "If the climate of this Aru Village could be a little more humid and the terrain a little flatter, I really want to open a ranch here and live here with Ying and Paimeng."

Thinking of this, Shao Yun's mouth corners couldn't help but rise slightly.

Finally, Shao Yun wrote down the last few words he wanted to say in his diary.

"Now let's wait for Ying to return from Liyue and then we can discuss what to do next."

"As for the Grass Goddess, I really want her to die..."

……

Just as Shao Yun closed his diary, a hearty and familiar laugh was heard.

Di Xia was seen walking towards Shao Yun with big strides and greeting him enthusiastically.

"Hey! Mr. Shao Yun, what are you going to do today?"

Shao Yun looked up when he heard the voice and saw Di Xia coming. He quickly put away the diary in his hand and put it into his backpack.

Then he smiled and raised his chin towards her, asking with concern: "Hello, Miss Dixia! It's been a few days, have your injuries healed?"

When Di Xia heard Shao Yun mention his experience of recuperating in Aru Village, she couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook her head, complaining helplessly.

"Oh, don't mention it! In fact, I felt that my injury had completely healed a long time ago."

"But Candice insisted that I had to take good care of myself, and she 'trapped' me in Aru Village, and she kept watching me drink the medicine she brewed on time every day!"

After listening to Dixia's description, Shao Yun nodded with deep emotion and said with emotion: "It seems that the relationship between you and Candice is not ordinary!"

"If someone else was injured, I'm afraid she might not be so attentive to take care of them."

After being told this by Shao Yun, Dixia suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She scratched her head shyly, laughed dryly and said, "Hehe... well..."

Seeing Dixia's shy look, Shao Yun tactfully changed the subject and continued to ask, "By the way, how are your friends in the mercenary group doing now?"

When Dixia heard Shao Yun talking about his mercenary friends, she frowned slightly. The figures of those mercenary friends who had once roamed the world together and gone through life and death together emerged in her mind, and she couldn't help but feel an indescribable sense of loss in her heart.

She sighed softly and said slowly: "It's still the same as before, but sometimes when it's late at night and everyone is asleep, I can't help but think of those friends who have left us."

After saying this, her eyes dimmed a little.

This time it was Dishia's turn to change the subject.

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Shao Yun, have you heard? The Grass God is missing."

Shao Yun naturally knew the news, but pretended to be surprised and asked, "What? How is this possible?"

In fact, Shao Yun naturally knew about the disappearance of the Grass God.

He knew clearly that the Grass God had fallen from the World Tree and was then swept away by the energy flow of the earth veins.

However, he absolutely could not tell Dixia the truth. Otherwise, once this was done, it would be like pushing down the first domino, and a series of complicated relationships and secrets would be exposed.

Especially his eldest brother-in-law’s Abyss Cult.

Seeing Shao Yun's shocked expression, Di Xia thought he really knew nothing about it, so she began to tell the story enthusiastically.

"I heard about this from Dina Zedai when I returned to Xumi City last week."

"It is said that since the disappearance of Grass God, the entire academy has been in complete chaos. Moreover, many students in the academy have even chosen to ask for leave and go home because of the disappearance of Grass God."

Then, Dixia frowned slightly and muttered softly with a puzzled look on her face.

"Come to think of it, how is the disappearance of the Grass God related to the request for leave to go home? Could it be that these people spontaneously went to look for the Grass God?"

Shao Yun, who was standing by, thought that these students who asked for leave to go home were probably using the disappearance of the Grass God as an excuse to avoid writing their papers...

Of course, Shao Yun carefully considered what Dixia said about the possibility that someone went to look for Nashida on their own initiative and thought that this possibility could not be completely ruled out...

Thinking of this, Shao Yun paused for a moment, then changed the subject and brought the topic to the present of Elhaisen and Seno.

"But I think that El Haisen and Senor can definitely stabilize the current situation."

At this moment, upon hearing Shao Yun mention these two people, Dixia immediately perked up and responded excitedly, "That's right! Elhaisen has publicly announced that he will organize people to find the whereabouts of the Grass God, and reassure the people in the Order Institute that there is no need to panic."

"And, during this period, he will continue to lead the College of Ecclesiastes."

Dixia took a breath and then added, "As for Mr. Seno, he is responsible for leading the organization to search for Nashida."

After hearing the news brought by Dixia, Shao Yun couldn't help but raise his lips, and said with a slightly teasing smile: "From this point of view, Elhaisen's original plan to resign as the acting great sage may have to be postponed."

At this time, relying on her sixth sense, Dixia asked hesitantly: "Excuse me, Mr. Shao Yun, why do you think Nashida suddenly disappeared? Do you know the reason?"

In Dixia's heart, the relationship between Shao Yun, Ying beside him, Paimon and Nashida is extraordinary.

After all, they saved Nashida's life, so they should know more about her situation.

Shao Yun was slightly stunned when he heard this, then he shook his head gently and replied slowly: "I'm sorry to disappoint you, I haven't seen her for a long time."

Hearing that Shao Yun also knew nothing about this, Di Xia couldn't help but look worried, but she could only pray silently as if mumbling to herself.

"I hope Nashida is doing well and nothing bad happens to her..."

At this moment, a hurried sound of footsteps came from afar. Shao Yun looked in the direction of the sound and saw Miss Candice rushing towards him in a hurry.

As she got closer, Candice took a few breaths and called out to Shao Yun, "Mr. Shao Yun, Mr. Shao Yun... So you are here..."

Seeing that Candice seemed to have something important to discuss with him, Shao Yun hurriedly asked: "Miss Candice, what's wrong? Don't tell me that we need manpower to build the library."

Upon hearing this, Candice quickly waved her hands and shook her head to deny it, "It's not about the Aru Village Library, but about something else I want to ask you for help with."

Then, Miss Candice whispered to Shao Yun why she needed his help.

"A traveler from Mondstadt rescued a caravan carrying building materials to Aru Village from the robbery of the Gilded Brigade, and followed the caravan to Aru Village."

"I treated this kind-hearted guest well, and then I heard her say she wanted to take a walk in the desert."

"So, I thought about preparing some indispensable supplies and a strong and reliable camel. So, could you please help me share some of the physical labor?"

After saying that, Candice looked at Shao Yun expectantly.

When he heard that the person was from Mond, Shao Yun instantly became curious and asked hurriedly, "No problem. Anyway, I'm so stupid now that I can only do manual labor."

"But, by the way, what does this traveler from Mond look like?"

Candice thought for a moment and then slowly began to describe: "Well... this guest from Mond has short blue hair..."

When he heard the words blue hair and Sumeru, Shao Yun immediately thought of the "pirate captain" with an eye patch, "Kaia", the horseless cavalry captain of the Knights of Favonius.

"Blue hair, from Mond... Well, let me guess, could this person be Kaeya?" Shao Yun asked with interest.

After all, it is understandable that Shao Yun would think of Kaeya first when he saw a Mondstadt man with blue hair appearing here.

And if you think about it carefully, Kaia is the descendant of the founder of the Abyss Cult... Now that his brother-in-law has achieved such brilliant success in his career, it is reasonable for him to come and spy on some information.

However, when Candice heard the word "Kaiya", she shook her head and explained quickly: "No, no, no, the guest who came to our Aru Village is not called Kaiya, but a girl named 'Eula'."

When Shao Yun heard the word "Eula" coming out of Candice's mouth, he was stunned. He did not immediately think of Eula Lawrence, and thought, could it be that they just happened to have the same name?

With such doubts, Shao Yun hurriedly asked: "What? Eula? Full name is Eula Lawrence?"

Candice frowned slightly, shook her head again, and replied, "She didn't mention her last name. What? Do you know this Miss Eula?"

Shao Yun pursed his lips slightly, and then asked: "So, where is she now?"

Candice raised her hand as a matter of course and pointed in the direction of the village chief's house, and replied casually: "Yes, it's at the village chief's house."

When Shao Yun heard that it was the village chief's house, he no longer wanted to complain. Why was it always the village chief's house? Has the village chief's house become a reception room?

Despite all his complaints, Shao Yun still planned to go see Eula. Although he didn't have a very good relationship with her, she was still an old acquaintance of his.
