Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

When Ye Lan's figure completely disappeared from sight, Ying, who had been silent, could no longer suppress her inner doubts and approached Shao Yun to ask, "Are you really planning to make a special trip to Liyue?"

Shao Yun spread his hands helplessly, and explained to Ying with a wry smile: "There's nothing I can do. Since I've already promised them, it's not good to go back on my word, right?"

Ying looked at Shao Yun with a worried look on her face and asked, "Then this round trip must have taken you four or five days, right?"

Shao Yun smiled slightly, signaling Ying not to worry so much, and patiently explained: "Not necessarily, maybe I can get it done in one morning!"

Hearing Shao Yun say that he could get from Fontaine to Liyue and back in one morning, Ying's eyes widened and she asked in surprise, "One morning? Are you sure you can do that?"

Shao Yun nodded very firmly and answered confidently, "Of course. Didn't you also rush from the Wolf Territory to Liyue in one morning and run into Dain? I can go back and forth from Fontaine and Liyue in one morning. What's so difficult about that?"

As soon as Shao Yun finished speaking, Ying's face suddenly became a little nervous, and she seemed reluctant to talk about that matter.

She only responded hesitantly: "This... this is different..."

Seeing this, Shao Yun smiled and waved his hand, giving Ying a way out, and changed the subject, saying, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this for now. Didn't we come back to get something?"

After Shao Yun's reminder, Ying came back to his senses, slapped his head hard, and said with sudden realization: "Oh! I almost forgot the important matter completely."

……

When Ying and Paimeng entered the Thorn Rose Society's base to look for something, Shao Yun stood outside the Thorn Rose Society's door, waiting patiently.

At this moment, Eula, who had been hiding in the dark and watching everything that happened here from afar, saw that Ye Lan had left at some point.

After making sure it was safe, she slowly walked out from the corner, holding a bulging bag tightly in her arms.

Shao Yun caught a glimpse of Youla walking towards him from the corner of his eye, but he quickly turned his head away, pretending that he didn't see her at all, and looked into the distance.

Youla was not at all surprised by Shao Yun's actions at this moment, because this was exactly what Shao Yun did to keep the promise between them.

However, this time, Youla did not pretend not to know Shao Yun as she did in the past. Instead, she walked up to him and expressed her gratitude sincerely: "Thank you very much for letting Yan Fei stay..."

In the face of Youla's gratitude, Shao Yun remained silent and seemed not to intend to respond.

But after a brief pause, he suddenly asked Eula about her study progress.

"How are you doing with your studies lately?"

Hearing this question, Eula replied calmly: "Not bad."

Looking at Eula who was able to communicate with him so calmly, Shao Yun couldn't help but feel emotional.

"I have to say, your emotions are much more stable and peaceful than before."

Hearing this, Eula shrugged slightly, with a helpless smile on her face.

"Perhaps it's due to the influence of the new environment, coupled with Yan Fei's recent care, I clearly feel that my mental state has improved a lot during this period of time."

Shao Yun nodded and said, "Not bad."

Afterwards, the two of them just stood there quietly, and as time passed, neither of them spoke first to break the silence.

After a while, Eula took the lead in breaking the deadlock.

She knew very well that pretending not to know each other was not a good way to solve the problem, so she took a deep breath and decided to put an end to the conflict between the two.

"When I officially become a police officer of the Fontaine Garrison, I want to sit down with you and have a good chat in a calm manner. Is that okay?"

"By then, we can put an end to all the grievances between us, let us truly let go of the past and achieve complete reconciliation."

Youla mustered up the courage to say these words and looked at Shao Yun with firm eyes, expecting him to give a positive answer.

However, Shao Yun did not respond to her as Youla wished.

He frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and corrected himself: "That's not called reconciliation, that can only be called forgetting it."

In fact, Eula knew exactly what Shao Yun meant.

But faced with this complex and tangled relationship, she really couldn't think of a better way to deal with it.

Keeping that past deep in her heart would only make her more and more miserable, so even if this approach was a bit self-deceptive, she felt it was much better than always dwelling on it.

Thinking of this, Youla couldn't help but smile bitterly and asked, "If I don't choose to deceive myself, what other options are there? Do I have to live in resentment that cannot be avenged for the rest of my life?"

After listening to Youla's words, Shao Yun was silent for a while, then nodded slowly, indicating that he understood her difficulties.

Then he said thoughtfully: "Indeed, sometimes, appropriate self-deception is a way to protect yourself."

Hearing Shao Yun's philosophical words, Eula felt mixed emotions.

She sighed helplessly and nodded slightly, agreeing with Shao Yun's point of view.

Then she didn't want to continue the topic and ended the conversation in a hurry.

"Okay, let's do this for now. I'll assume that you have agreed to my request." After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

At this time, Shao Yun opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something else, but in the end he didn't say it.

And just as he said before, in a few months everyone will go their separate ways and perhaps never meet again, so why add to the trouble at this moment?

Eula walked back to the Rose Thorn Society's base holding the things she had just bought and continued studying for the exam.

"..."

……

After a long while, Ying was seen coming out of the hidden base of the Thorn Rose Society with Paimon, holding a brown wooden fishing rod in both hands.

Paimeng took the lead and flew to Shao Yun, shouting, "Shao Yun, Ying and I have prepared everything you need!"

Shao Yun looked over when he heard the voice, and his eyes immediately fell on the unremarkable wooden fishing rod in Ying's hand. He asked with a puzzled look on his face, "What are you doing with a fishing rod?"

Hearing Shao Yun ask this question, Ying couldn't help but feel a little surprised, thinking, isn't this an obvious thing?

But she still patiently explained with a smile: "Why ask? Of course it's for fishing."

However, Shao Yun was very surprised that they were going fishing.

"What? You guys are going fishing?"

Facing Shao Yun's exaggerated reaction, Ying felt even more strange. She tilted her head and asked, "Yes, we are just going fishing. What's the problem?"

At this time, Shao Yun frowned slightly and continued to ask: "I know you can fish, after all, it was you who caught Paimeng, but why do you suddenly want to fish?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ying calmly reached her right hand behind her back. I don't know how she did it, but in the blink of an eye she took out a commission form, handed it to Shao Yun, and said something casually.

"Here, take a look at this first."

Shao Yun took the order form, glanced at it lightly, and began to read out the information on the form word by word.

"Dela Roshi's commission. We are in urgent need of some Fontaine mechanical fish. Any type is acceptable? The purchase price is one thousand Mora per fish..."

Ying nodded excitedly and said, "Hehe, one fish can be sold for 1000 Mora! This is much easier than working hard to complete other commissions to earn Mora!"

"That's just in time. I heard from Klee before that you are very good at fishing. Hehe, so this commission is perfect for us, and we can complete it together!"

Thinking that he could earn a good salary and spend more time with Ying, Shao Yun agreed without hesitation.

However, he scratched his head a little embarrassedly and added: "Well... Actually, my fishing skills are quite poor, so don't have too high expectations of me."

At this moment, Paimeng, who had been floating in the air, quickly flew to Shao Yun and waved his little fist to cheer him up.

"Hey, Shao Yun, you can't underestimate yourself! Paimon believes that you can do it, and when the time comes, Paimon will be by your side to cheer you on with all his strength!"

Shao Yun was amused by Paimeng's appearance and couldn't help but smiled and half-complained and half-jokingly responded: "Haha, then Paimeng, you should give all the cheers to Ying. Calling her 'Big Golden Fisherman' may help her perform better!"

When Paimeng heard Shao Yun say that title, his eyes widened instantly, and he asked in astonishment, "Hey? How do you know this title? I remember I never mentioned it to you!"

Shao Yun started joking.

"You dreamed about this the other night, about the great golden fisherman, the final sprint, and trying harder."

Hearing this, Paimon's face suddenly turned red, like a ripe apple.

She lowered her head in embarrassment, covered her cheeks tightly with her hands, and muttered softly.

"Oh, this is so embarrassing... I actually talked in my sleep. Shao Yun is going to laugh at me to death now."

As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Shao Yun out of the corner of his eye to observe his reaction.

Shao Yun couldn't help laughing when he saw Paimeng's cute and embarrassed look, but he also hurriedly comforted him: "Okay, don't be shy, Paimeng, let's go fishing!"
