Chapter 1174 Living in Yifa's House
The two people who were originally discussing cooperation suddenly took a turn for the worse and were about to fight.
Shao Yun looked at the war-loving and thoughtless Tartaglia, and the furious and impulsive Chaska, and his temples throbbed.
He knew that if he allowed the two to continue arguing, not only would he not be able to find Keya, but he would also waste time. He immediately took a step forward and shouted:
"Stop it! You two, one is clueless and the other is unhappy, haven't you had enough of the trouble?"
This shout was so powerful that it stunned the two people who were about to take action.
Shao Yun glanced at the two of them sharply and shouted without question:
"What time is it now? Is it time for you to fight? Chaska, have you forgotten that our goal is to find Keya? If we defeat Tartaglia, can we rescue Keya?"
He turned to look at Tartaglia again, his tone even deeper.
"And you, Tartaglia! Aren't you going to find the Doctor to stop him? Will fighting with Chaska help you find any trace of the Doctor? I'm telling you two, calm down!"
"If you dare to mess around again, I'll either send you to accompany Rosaline and the Skirmishers or I'll send you directly to see Nata's Night God!"
The fighting spirit that had just been ignited in Tartaglia dissipated in an instant. He didn't want to be "sent to find Rosaline and the scattered soldiers" by Shao Yun. He didn't want to experience it again.
Chaska also put down his hand on the bow and arrow, and his mind, which had been overwhelmed by anger, gradually calmed down.
Fighting now will not solve the problem at all. Finding Keya is the most important thing.
The two men looked at each other, and saw the obedience of "not daring to make trouble again" in each other's eyes, and completely gave up the idea of fighting.
Shao Yun looked at these two troublesome guys and gave them two choices, saying:
"Now I give you two choices. Either we work together and help each other."
"Or we can go our separate ways. You go find your doctor, and she goes find her Velvet Pterosaur sister. Each of you can do your own thing. Make your own choice!"
Tartaglia touched his nose and spoke first with a strange expression:
"I'll definitely choose cooperation. I'm not familiar with Nata, and if I had a local to help me search, the operation would definitely be more efficient, and I'd be able to find Dortorei sooner and complete my mission."
He knew that without the guidance of local people, looking for a doctor in Nata would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Chaska didn't express her opinion immediately. She was silent for a few seconds, then looked at Tartaglia, her eyes still filled with vigilance, and asked calmly:
"Are you sure it was really that guy called Doctor who kidnapped my sister Keya? How do I know you didn't just make this up to use me so I could help you find Doctor?"
Tartaglia spread his hands, a calm expression on his face that said, "Believe it or not," and said sincerely, "I can't give you an absolute guarantee. After all, I didn't see the doctor catch the pterosaur with my own eyes."
"I'm just giving you a possible idea based on the doctor's style of doing things and his purpose for coming to Nata. Whether you believe it or not is ultimately up to you."
He did not force any guarantees or exaggerate, but simply expressed his judgment truthfully.
Chaska turned to look at Shao Yun. She still preferred to believe Shao Yun's judgment.
"What do you think? Mr. Shao Yun, this guy named Tartaglia, is his words trustworthy? Do we really want to cooperate with him?"
Shao Yun looked at Chaska's expectant eyes, then looked at Tartaglia who was waiting for a response, spread his hands, and said matter-of-factly:
"Well, he and I did have a somewhat unpleasant past. We even had a fight in Liyue before."
"But one thing I'm certain of is that, although he's an executive officer of the Fatui, he doesn't resort to underhanded tactics or schemes. He always does things in an upright and aboveboard manner. This is quite similar to Capitano."
When Tartaglia heard Shao Yun's evaluation of himself as "upright and honest", he was stunned for a moment, and then a heartfelt smile appeared on his face.
He raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, then said cheerfully, "So that's how you see me! Thanks for the compliment!"
Chaska looked at Tartaglia's genuine expression, was silent for a few seconds, then walked up to him and slowly stretched out his right hand.
Her complexion still wasn't good-looking, her eyes were filled with obvious vigilance, and her tone was filled with undisguised threats.
"Okay, since Mr. Shao Yun has said so, let's reach a short-term cooperation..."
"But remember, if I find out you dare to play any tricks or collude with the doctor, I won't mind using force to show you how Huayu mediates!"
Tartaglia looked at the hand hanging in front of her, and without paying attention to Chaska's threat, she readily stretched out her right hand and held her hand tightly.
"Don't worry. Although I enjoy fighting and am not afraid of fighting you, I understand the priority right now. I need to find the doctor quickly. This is much more important than fighting you.
……
After Tartaglia and Chaska reached a cooperation, Shao Yun and the two began to search aimlessly for a needle in a haystack nearby.
As for why Shao Yun didn't use the system? Again, most of its functions had long been broken by the devil's elbow. Relying on it would be worse than relying on the goat that was monitoring him.
Shao Yun, Chaska and Tartaglia spent an entire afternoon searching the stone wall area between the Ember City Ochikanata and the Huayu Society, and the sea.
The search was temporarily ended until dark.
Tartaglia put his hands on his hips, frowned, and looked very troubled.
"Strange, how could there be no clues at all? The doctor is good at hiding his whereabouts, but he's carrying scientific research equipment and his men with him. It's impossible for him to leave no trace, right?"
As he spoke, he kicked the pebbles at his feet unwillingly, obviously unable to accept this result.
Shao Yun walked to Chaska's side, looked at her with her head down and a depressed look, and asked softly:
"So, have you found any trace of your sister Keya? Have you encountered any other velvet pterosaurs? Can you get any information from them?"
Chaska slowly raised his head and shook it sadly.
"I found a few friendly pterosaurs and tried to communicate with them using body language, but they just shook their heads blankly. They had no concrete clues about Keya..."
Tartaglia heard the conversation between the two and started complaining as well.
"It's the same here. Not only have we found no trace of the doctor, but even the research ships he brought with him have disappeared without a trace."
"That's strange! A ship that big can't possibly grow wings and fly into the sky, right? Could he possibly hide it under the sea?"
……
Anyway, today's search operation ends here for now. It's too late...
On the way back, Chaska's face was grim. The news that Keya hadn't been heard from left her in no mood to talk.
Shao Yun walked beside her, looking at her depressed look, and said comfortingly:
"I'm sorry I couldn't help you today. Honestly, to me, all the Velvet Pterosaurs look the same. I can't tell one from the other, just like those Fatui wearing masks. I really can't help you accurately identify the clues."
He deliberately spoke in a light-hearted tone and even made a joke about the Fatui, hoping to make Chaska feel a little better.
Upon hearing this, Chaska sighed softly and said sadly:
"I'm the one who should be apologizing. I forced you to help me and wasted your honeymoon. And we didn't find any clues today. Looks like I'll have to trouble you again tomorrow..."
As she spoke, her head dropped even lower, her tone full of self-blame.
Shao Yun looked at Chaska, who looked guilty, and suddenly changed the subject with a funny expression.
"So, as a 'reward' for delaying my honeymoon, shouldn't you arrange accommodations for me tonight? You can't let me, a 'helper', worry about where to stay myself, right?"
Chaska was immersed in self-blame, and when he suddenly heard Shao Yun's words, he almost petrified.
How could the person who was gently comforting you one second suddenly "change his face" and ask for accommodation the next second?
The change is too fast, it's like you're doing Sichuan Opera face-changing!
After realizing what was happening, Chaska said "Hey" in dissatisfaction.
"Why are you saying this all of a sudden? I was still thinking about Keya!"
Shao Yun spread his hands, put on a righteous look, and said seriously:
"Originally, I was thinking of just camping in the wild if I couldn't find any accommodation. I'm used to it anyway. But since you feel so guilty, you can't really let me sleep outside, right?"
Chaska was choked by what he said and subconsciously looked up at the night sky.
"That's right," Chaska nodded, his tone softening considerably. "I was inconsiderate. After all, I asked you to come help. I should at least prepare a place for you to stay. I can't let you suffer any injustice."
Just when Chaska was wondering where to place Shao Yun, Nata's first veterinarian "Ifa" passed by.
Yifa rubbed his eyes and moved closer to see Shao Yun's appearance clearly. He immediately showed a look of surprise and quickly walked forward and said:
"Am I seeing things right, buddy? Mr. Shao Yun, why are you here at the Huayu Club? I thought you were still with the Liuquan Clan!"
Kakuku, the little downy pterosaur flying beside Eefa, also flapped its wings twice and echoed, "That's right, buddy!"
Shao Yun looked at Yifa's surprised expression, which looked like "Why are you here?", as if he shouldn't be in Huayu Club, and couldn't help but teasing him:
"Your expression makes it seem like there's a wanted order for me at Huayu Club, and it's taboo for me to come here. What's wrong with me coming to Huayu Club? Is it not okay?"
Ifa quickly waved his hands and said with a smile, "No, buddy. I was just surprised."
He looked Shao Yun up and down and expressed his confusion.
"Dude, I heard you were on your honeymoon with Miss Ying at the Flowing Springs Club? Why are you suddenly here at the Huayu Club? Did you change the route of your honeymoon?"
When Shao Yun heard that Yifa also knew that he was spending his honeymoon with the Liuquan people, he was stunned and felt numb all over.
How come everyone knows my whereabouts wherever I go?
He exaggeratedly raised his hand to cover his forehead and said helplessly, "Ah? Is my whereabouts being broadcast live 24 hours a day by Ye Shen? How come even you know I'm on vacation at Liuquan? My honeymoon is too public!"
Yifa explained truthfully: "What are you talking about, man."
"A few days ago, I went to the Flowing Springs to treat the velvet dragons of that tribe. I talked to Marani for a while, and she told me this."
When Shao Yun heard what was going on, he smiled with relief, nodded, and said:
"That's right. You're Nata's best veterinarian. It's normal for you to travel around to treat dragons. It's not surprising to hear news from Marani."
Nata is a place that is neither big nor small, especially since information flows very quickly.
For a "great hero" like himself who had helped Nata a lot, his every move was easily noticed by others. It was both unexpected and reasonable that the news of his honeymoon spread.
