Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Chapter 983 Mother-in-law's Leisurely Cloud

After a few seconds of silence, Si Ke Ke felt that he had told Shao Yun everything he could remind him of, so he said nothing more.

"Okay, but since you were able to kill the Wind God, your strength should be quite good. If you can successfully kill Surtróch..."

However, before he could finish his words, Silkcock suddenly changed the subject and reminded him, "Forget it, it's better to be careful anyway."

With that, Silkcock stood up and prepared to leave.

Shao Yun watched as Silk was about to leave after chatting for a few minutes, and said as a matter of routine: "Okay, thank you for your reminder."

"By the way, do you want to eat something? I can treat you, for Tartaglia's sake."

Si Ke Ke shook her head gently, politely declined Shao Yun's invitation, and said, "No need, I have something else to do."

"Recently, there has been a turbulent abyss near Liyue. I need to go check the situation to avoid causing any trouble."

Before leaving, Si Ke Ke suddenly stopped, turned to look at Shao Yun, and reminded him again earnestly: "Also, regarding the matter of my meeting with you, just pretend that it never happened!"

Shao Yun tilted his head and asked in confusion, "Why? Does this matter?"

Si Ke Ke did not answer Shao Yun's question, but simply emphasized: "It's better for you not to know the reason. Believe me, this is better for you."

After saying that, she turned and left.

Shao Yun looked at Si Ke Ke's back as she walked away, shrugged helplessly, and said to himself: "Whatever, since she doesn't want to say it, I won't force her."

Then, he continued to eat the sweet and sour cold dishes made by Wanmintang as if nothing had happened.

While eating the cold dishes, Shao Yun recalled his brief exchange with Si Ke Ke and thought to himself, "What a strange woman."

However, he didn't dwell on it too much. After all, Tartaglia was also quite strange.

Shao Yun ate the cold dishes while waiting for the dishes he ordered to be served, and listened to the clinking sounds of spatulas in the kitchen.

……

Just when Shao Yun was feeling bored and about to doze off at the dining table, suddenly, another woman walked in.

Shao Yun looked carefully and found that the person coming was none other than the True Lord Liuyunjiefeng, "Xianyun".

Xianyun walked calmly to the opposite side of Shao Yun.

After sitting down, she gently supported her chin with her hand, then pushed the glasses on her nose and asked softly, "Hey, Mr. Shao Yun, are you busy?"

Shao Yun yawned loudly, stretched, and slowly pointed to the kitchen of Wanmin Hall and replied:

"Oh, I'm not busy. I'm just waiting for Xiangling to make Ying's lunch."

"Two days ago, Doctor Baizhu prescribed some medicinal food for Ying to eat. Today, I came to Wanmin Hall to order it."

Xianyun nodded slightly and further asked about how Shao Yun and his group had been spending the past two days in Liyue.

"Mr. Shao Yun, how have you been spending the past two days in Liyue?"

When Shao Yun heard Xianyun ask about his life in the past few days, he thought for a moment and then simply summarized:

"Well, these past few days, Ying needed to rest in Bubulu for health reasons, so we basically didn't leave Liyue Harbor."

Immediately afterwards, Shao Yun began to tease Shen He to Xianyun.

"Oh, you don't know, your beloved disciple Shen He is so clingy."

"She wants to stick to Ying all day and all night, including when she's sleeping. This has caused me and my eldest brother-in-law to be door gods outside the house every night these past few days."

Then, Shao Yun mentioned about his night rest these days.

"I originally wanted to bring my brother-in-law to live in Qun Yu Pavilion, but considering the unpleasantness between me and Ningguang, I decided to give up."

After listening to Shao Yun's story about his residence over the past few days, Xianyun turned the topic to what had just happened at Yujingtai.

"Oh, by the way, I heard from Ping that Yuhengxing Keqing just held a self-criticism in front of everyone at Yujingtai?"

When Shao Yun heard Xianyun ask about this, he nodded and confirmed, "Yes, Grandma Ping and I were watching at the side at the time."

Upon hearing this, Xianyun couldn't help but stroke his forehead, a look of worry on his face, and sighed:

"I'm really worried. Keqing's actions will cause chaos in Liyue Harbor once again..."

Immediately afterwards, Xianyun felt that his words might be misunderstood by Shao Yun as an attempt to interfere in the political affairs of Liyue Harbor, so he hurriedly explained:

"I'm not trying to say who I should support, I'm just worried..."

"Liyue is always in such turmoil, with internal strife, people's morale is scattered."

Shao Yun looked unconcerned and said casually, "Trust Ningguang."

"After all, she started out as a peddler and rose through the ranks to become the powerful Tianquanxing in Liyue. This is enough to prove that she has some ability."

"I was just blinded by desire and confused for a moment."

Xianyun felt relieved when he heard Shao Yun's confidence in Ningguang. He said softly, "I hope so..."

……

Shao Yun was also a little at a loss for words at this point, not knowing what to talk about with Xianyun. To ease the slightly awkward atmosphere, he casually suggested, "How about I treat you to something to eat?"

Xianyun quickly waved his hand and politely declined, "No, thank you. However, I have something else I would like to discuss with you."

Upon hearing this, Shao Yun couldn't help but feel curious and asked quickly, "Oh? What's the matter?"

Xianyun said solemnly, "This matter concerns my beloved disciple, Shen He."

When Shao Yun heard this, he really couldn't figure out what Xianyun wanted to talk to him about Shen He.

"Shen He? I think she's been pretty happy lately. Doesn't she want any problems?"

At this moment, Xianyun said with a melancholy tone, like a mother about to send her daughter off to marry:

Shen He, she loves your daughter very much and regards her as her home. I believe her love for your daughter is obvious to you.

When Shao Yun heard Xianyun describe Shen He's love for his daughter, he nodded in agreement and said:

"Of course I know this, otherwise why would I let my daughter recognize Shen He as her godmother?"

When Xianyun heard this, he couldn't help feeling a sense of loss.

"Godmother... So, you already regard Shen He as a family member?"

When Shao Yun heard the word "family", he thought for a moment, then answered affirmatively: "Of course, I have seen and remembered everything Shen He has done for my daughter."

"It's not an exaggeration to say we're family."

Xianyun felt a little relieved after receiving such a precise answer from Shao Yun.

Then, she said, as if she was entrusting Shen He to him, "In that case, Shen He is in your hands. You should understand what I mean, right?"

When Shao Yun heard this, his heart suddenly tightened and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

"You mean, you want Shen He to live with us?"

Xianyun straightened his back, shook his head slightly, pointed out the mistake Shao Yun made, and said:

"It's not that I want Shen He to live with you, but Shen He can no longer leave you."

Xianyun continued, "I treated Shen He as my own daughter and raised her single-handedly. She's like my own daughter. How could I not see the little thoughts in her heart?"

Speaking of this, Xianyun couldn't help but sigh and reveal a bit of sadness.

"But, in some ways, it still makes life difficult for me, your beloved disciple."

When Shao Yun heard Xianyun say that Shen He would suffer if she lived with him, he felt very strange. Could he starve her or bully her?

"It's hard for Shen He, what do you mean? If Shen He really lives with us, Ying and I will definitely take care of her wholeheartedly."

Xianyun shook her head again. She naturally believed that Shao Yun's family would not treat Shen He unfairly.

But what she was thinking about was Shen He's "happiness"... and her own wish to have grandchildren!

"You can't marry my apprentice. If you do, her life will be..." Xianyun's words echoed in the air, revealing a hint of sadness.

When Shao Yun heard Xianyun mention the word "marry", his face instantly turned a little ugly.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but complain: "Are you forcing marriage in disguise?"

Shao Yun recalled that some days ago, when he was in Nata, he was drinking with Chaska and went to meet her velvet pterosaur mother "Qimupu".

Shao Yun still remembers that when Chaska's mother saw him...

The velvet pterosaur kept urging Chaska to learn from her sister and build a nest and start a family as soon as possible!

Now, Xianyun handed Shen He to Shao Yun and said solemnly:

"If Shen He doesn't come back and really settles down with you in Nata, then I hope you can treat her well."

"Of course. If I can really hold my grandchildren, remember to come back to Liyue and let me see them."

After hearing this, Shao Yun looked at Xianyun, who looked like she was about to marry Shen He to him, and quickly reminded her seriously:

"Don't act like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law. You're not Ying's mother! Shen He will only be my daughter's godmother!"

Upon hearing this, Xianyun just turned his head slightly to the side, supported his chin, and sighed softly.

The look on his face showed that he felt very sorry for Shao Yun's ingratitude.

"Oh, what a blockhead..." Xianyun muttered softly.

Seeing this, Shao Yun couldn't help but give Xianyun a cold look, muttering to himself: What's going on with this bird? Is it because it has too much free time and likes to mess around with other people?

No wonder she named herself "Xianyun"... She's really free...

Forget it, considering that Shen He takes such good care of his daughter and he is Shen He, I won’t argue with you, an old empty-nest bird.

……

Just as Shao Yun and Xianyun were sitting face to face at the table in silence, Xianyun looked up inadvertently and his eyes happened to fall on the entrance of Wanmin Hall.

Her attention was attracted by an old man and a child standing at the door. It was a white-haired grandmother with an innocent and lovely granddaughter beside her.

They were discussing something. The old grandmother had a kind smile on her face, and the little granddaughter stood obediently beside her.

Xianyun's eyes suddenly focused, and he felt that there was a very familiar feeling about the old lady.

"That is……"

Shao Yun looked at Xianyun curiously, and seeing her staring at the door, he asked.

"What are you looking at?"

Xianyun didn't answer immediately. He just narrowed his eyes and continued to recall carefully. After a while, he slowly said, "Nothing. I think I saw someone I know..."

Shao Yun turned his head and followed Xianyun's gaze, and sure enough, he saw the grandmother and granddaughter at the door of Wanmin Hall.

He looked around and commented, "I saw an old lady with a little granddaughter standing outside the Wanmin Hall. They must be here for dinner..."

However, Xianyun suddenly stood up and said hurriedly, "Sorry, Mr. Shao Yun, I have to leave first."

After saying that, he walked quickly towards the door without waiting for Shao Yun's response.

Shao Yun looked at Xianyun's departing back with some confusion, not understanding why he was suddenly in such a hurry.

He knocked his head, feeling that this scene was somewhat familiar, but he just couldn't remember where he had seen it.

This feeling of déjà vu made him a little irritated. He muttered to himself, "How strange! It feels so familiar, but I just can't put my finger on it..."

It seems to be Xianyun’s legendary mission, the details seem to be...ah, my head hurts, forget it, I’d better not think about it.

Not long after Xianyun left, Xiangling came out of the kitchen holding a big food box.

"Mr. Shao Yun! The medicinal food is ready. I've put it in your lunch box. Here, take a look at it."

Shao Yun then placed the purse containing Mora on the table, took the food box handed over by Xiangling, and said, "Yes, the money is on the table."

After that, Shao Yun didn't stay in Wanmin Hall for long. He quickly left with his lunch box. After all, Ying hadn't eaten lunch yet!

Just after Shao Yun left, in an inconspicuous corner of Wanmin Hall, a spy belonging to Ye Lan took in everything and then left.
