Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Let’s put the matters of Xumi City and Nashida aside for now.

After Shao Yun left the Church Order Institute, the first thing he thought of was to find Dina Zedai and tell her that the house her father, Mr. Shazaman, had prepared for him could be returned to him.

I left Xumi City in a hurry a few days ago and didn't tell Shazzaman, so now nominally, this house is still being used by me.

Now that we can no longer live there, we should return the house to the owner immediately.

It took two days and one night to send Nashida back to Xumi City. When we returned to Aru Village, it was already evening.

Just in front of the village chief's house in Aru Village, Shao Yun saw Ying and Paimeng.

Originally, Shao Yun thought that Ying and Paimeng would take a few days to come back, but unexpectedly, they came back now.

So, he walked up with a smile, waved his hand, and shouted, "Wow, when did you come back?"

Hearing Shao Yun's voice, Paimeng turned to look at him and said, "Wow! Shao Yun, where have you been these days?"

"We heard from Candice that you've been missing for two or three days!"

Facing Paimeng's barrage of questions, Shao Yun simply smiled calmly and replied casually, "There's something I need to take care of."

When Paimeng heard that Shao Yun had something to deal with, he didn't think too much about it.

But suddenly, she recalled the birthday festival of the flower goddess.

At that time, Shao Yun also claimed that he had something to deal with, and then unexpectedly brought Nashida out of Jingshan Palace.

Now, Shao Yun once again said that he had something to deal with. Could it be related to meeting the Water God of Fontaine?

Thinking of this, Paimon touched his chin subconsciously and muttered.

"Oh? Shao Yun, you had something else to deal with and left. Could it be that..."

At this point, Paimeng paused for a moment and blurted out, "Shao Yun, are you going to Fontaine to arrange a meeting with the Water God for us?"

When Shao Yun heard that Paimon thought he was going to arrange a meeting with the Water God, he was about to shake his head to deny it, but then he thought again, the Grass God returned home safely, so what Ying was worried about would not happen.

From this perspective, what I have been busy with these days is indeed related to going to Fontaine.

So, after a brief thought, Shao Yun gave an ambiguous and vague answer.

"Yes and no."

When Paimon heard the answer, he tilted his little head with a confused look on his face.

"What does this mean? Paimon doesn't understand a thing!"

Seeing this, Shao Yun frowned slightly and thought for a moment, then cleared his throat and explained: "Well... this matter is indeed somewhat related to our trip to Fontaine, but if you want to say it is directly related, it is not that close."

However, his explanation not only failed to help Paimon understand the situation, but made her even more confused.

Paimon crossed his arms over his chest and muttered angrily.

"Humph, how come you've suddenly become like that suspenseful Kaia? You keep saying things that are incomprehensible."

"Tell me quickly, where have you been and what have you been doing these days?"

At this time, Ying on the side began to seriously think about what Shao Yun had just said.

Not long after, she suddenly understood something, her eyes lit up, and she said confidently, "Did you find Nashida?"

As soon as the words fell, Paimon, who was originally confused, suddenly widened his eyes and opened his mouth, exclaiming in disbelief: "Ah? Is it true? Nashida has been found?"

Seeing the two people's surprised reactions, Shao Yun couldn't help but clap his hands and laugh, and praised generously: "Haha, Ying is still smart! He guessed the key right away."

Ying, who was praised, showed a smug smile on her face, raised her chin slightly, and said proudly: "Of course not, this little thing can't be difficult for me."

"But, what is the specific situation?"

When Shao Yun heard this, he answered without hesitation: "Oh, it's like this, just two days ago, your brother Kong suddenly had time to come to see me..."

When Ying heard that Kong was looking for Shao Yun, she jumped up instantly like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

Then she signaled Shao Yun not to speak and let her speak first.

"My brother came to see you? When did he come? Why didn't he come to see me?"

Ying became angrier the more she thought about it, her lips pouted and she muttered to herself.

"Do you think that I, your younger sister, am not pretty enough? Humph, that's really too much. You didn't even come to me first!"

Shao Yun looked at the angry Ying in front of him and quickly explained with a smile: "Hey, Ying, don't let your imagination run wild."

"In fact, your brother has already visited you. But at that time he found that there were other people around you, and he was worried that his sudden appearance would cause unnecessary trouble, so he just quietly watched you from a distance for a while."

"Besides, your brother also said that he was afraid that you were going to beat him up..."

Even though Shao Yun's words made sense and were reasonable, Ying still didn't buy it.

She was seen crossing her arms tightly across her chest, muttering angrily.

"Huh, what? Even if it's like this, you can't not come to me! This stinky brother is really bad!"

……

At the same time, in a mysterious ruin where the Abyss Cult was located, Kong sneezed loudly several times for no apparent reason.

"Ah! Ahh!"

Yuan Shang, who was standing nearby, became nervous upon seeing this.

He rushed to Kong's side in two steps and asked with concern, "Your Highness! Did you catch a cold? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Do you want me to get you some clothes to put on?"

As he spoke, Yuanshang turned his head and glared fiercely at the Abyss Apostle Shuangluo beside him, complaining unhappily: "It's all your fault! You must have made it too cold here, causing His Royal Highness to be frozen and sneeze!"

The Apostle of the Abyss, Frostfall, did nothing wrong, but this huge pot fell on his head. What is this?

"Hey! Why are you pulling my head?" Apostle of the Abyss, Shuangluo, shouted innocently, "I'm not on duty today!"

Yuan Shang said to Kong with a look of "concern": "Your Highness, shall I light a fire to warm you up?"

After all, Yuanshang is the Singer of the Fire Abyss, so making a fire is a piece of cake for him.

Kong looked at the passionate Yuan Shang, scratched his nose awkwardly, and said: "It's okay, maybe my nose is itchy."

……

Seeing Ying waving her powerful fist angrily, it seemed as if she was about to hit her brother "Kong" on the head in the next second.

This cute and funny look makes people laugh.

Seeing this, Shao Yun raised his lips slightly and said jokingly: "How about we find an opportunity to trick your brother out again next time, and then you can give him a good beating?"

After the joke, Shao Yun changed the subject and said, "But before planning to beat up your brother, let's talk about something else. Now Nashida has returned home safely, and you have also returned to Aru Village."

"So, should we discuss the follow-up plan?"

As Shao Yun spoke, he hinted to Ying with his eyes, expressing his hope that she could go to Fontaine as originally planned.

Seeing Shao Yun's hint in his eyes, Ying shrugged helplessly and muttered, "Well, logically speaking, we should indeed set off for Fontaine. But..."

When he heard the word "but", Shao Yun's heart skipped a beat and he secretly thought that something was wrong.

Based on his understanding of Ying, he knew that something unexpected must have happened again.

As expected, Ying and Paimeng's gazes were simultaneously directed towards a place not far away.

Seeing this, Shao Yun hurriedly followed their gaze.

I saw a girl with purple-blue hair decorated with a pair of cat-ear-like headband-like things.

She wore a Gilded Brigade-style eye mask on her eyes, and like Dishia, she only wore a tube top, showing off her tanned skin and slender waist.

However, there was a striking cross scar on the left side of her abdomen.

This girl should be "Jade".

At this time, beside her, there was a small and exquisite energy construct floating - "Ben Ben". It felt the sadness in its owner's heart and was swaying restlessly in the air.

On the other side, Candice was standing in front of Jade, comforting her softly.

Candice bent down slightly and said softly, "Don't cry, Miss Jade."

Hearing this, Jade couldn't help but sniffle and tried hard to stop crying, but she couldn't.

She choked up and said, "Ms. Candice, I really can't control my emotions. Daddy... wuwuwu..."

Before she finished her words, Jade burst into tears again.

Seeing Jade so heartbroken, Candice felt distressed. She reached out her hand and stroked Jade's cheek, saying softly, "You've cried too much. In this harsh environment of the desert, your face will be easily hurt by the wind and sand."

Although she felt the warmth and caring from Candice's fingers, Jade still couldn't suppress her emotions and continued to sob as she replied, "I know, but I just... wuwuwu..."

Shao Yun looked at Jie De and muttered, "That girl..."

Just as Shao Yun was sorting out Jade's information in his mind, Ying said with sympathy, "Oh, that's Jade, a friend we met when we were handling a commission."

Paimon recounted the story of the past few days.

In terms of the timeline, in general, Gabriel and Samel formed an organization called "Thutmose" out of their belief in the Red King and their pursuit of the legendary "Golden Dreamland".

But their knowledge and wisdom alone are not enough to unlock the secrets of the Red King's ruins, so the two kidnapped a promising and talented female scholar "Yufei Hindi" from the Hindi family from the rainforest to assist them.

Afterwards, Gabriel was responsible for monitoring Yufei while traveling with her to explore the remains of the Red King in the Sand Sea. Gabriel was not as fanatical as his brother Samel and had a kind personality.

After several years of living together, the two who would never have had any intersection in life fell in love with each other and gave birth to the fruit of their love, "Jade".

Later, Samel thought that Youfei could never produce important results, and he also bewitched his brother Gabriel, making him indulge in the pleasures of life and forget his lofty ambitions.

For this reason, Samel killed Yufei in an attempt to make Gabriel change his mind. Gabriel, whose happiness was ruthlessly deprived, was completely disheartened and saw through the true nature of the so-called "partner".

In order to let his most important daughter grow up healthily away from disputes, Gabriel secretly left Thutmose with young Jade and fled the desert to another place.

Because Tirzad Hindi was a relative of his wife, he accepted the employment. Out of guilt towards his wife, he decided to accept his commission and protect him to the end.

At the end of the introduction, Paimon recounted what happened in the end, saying: "Finally, we found the 'Golden Dreamland' in the Hall of the Epiphany, but it was a 'trap' from which there was no return. If it weren't for Gabriel, we would have been in danger."

"But unfortunately, her father 'Gabriel' saved us, so..." Paimon's voice became sad at the end.

After listening to Jade's story, Shao Yun folded his arms, pursed his lips, and gave his own opinion.

"It's a sad story; but considering the cruelty of the desert, the ending of this story is a good one. At least Jade and you are lucky to survive."

Paimon said worriedly, "Do you think we should find a way to comfort her? Jade didn't seem to be in a good mood along the way."

Shao Yun glanced at Jade who was still being comforted by Candice, and gave the best solution.

"The best way now is to ensure her safety and leave her alone for a while. We can talk to her after she calms down. Nothing we say now will work."

Paimeng rubbed his head and agreed, "Well, well, it seems that Shao Yun, you are very experienced in handling this kind of thing."

Shao Yun shrugged and said calmly, "It's okay."
