Genshin Impact: A Traveler with Only Two Skills

Gui Yan and Gu Ling, who had just woken up, quickly figured out the current situation. Being wanted by Fengyang City was definitely not good news. It seemed that they had no way to enter the city through normal means.

But as long as they haven't been caught, they have a chance to explain what happened. Now they need to figure out the most critical step, which is -

"Why do people in Tianya Island say that Lingyue has been possessed by a demon?" Ying clasped her arms and carefully recalled her experience with Lingyue.

"When I first met Ling Yue, she was indeed almost possessed by the devil. But since then, until now, she was almost possessed by the devil near that lake. However, Gu Ling helped her at that time, and she was successfully rescued in the end."

"It's better to ask how they knew Ling Yue was infected with evil spirits in the first place." Gu Ling said, "After all, Ling Yue never got in touch with the people from Tianya Island when she was with us. If they knew about her situation, shouldn't they have sent people to help her long ago?"

At this point, a light suddenly flashed in her eyes, and a feeling that was both exciting and terrifying made her excited:

"I know, it's a conspiracy!"

"What conspiracy?"

"For a big power like this, there must be a lot of fighting behind the scenes. Ling Yue must belong to a different faction from the person at the city gate. They are competitors, or even mortal enemies. So after hearing that Ling Yue was back, she immediately made up this incident and wanted to lock her up so that their faction could maintain the advantage."

"That's right! After they capture Ling Yue, they might be able to use her as a hostage to threaten Ling Yue's group and further expand their advantage!"

Gu Ling became more and more excited as she spoke, as if she had witnessed the open and secret struggles on Tianya Island with her own eyes. Ying felt that Gu Ling had already convinced herself before she was convinced by her, and she needed to point out her mistakes before Gu Ling had a firm belief in her own conjecture.

“But if there really are two factions fighting on Tianya Island, they can’t guarantee that when Lingyue comes back, it will be their people guarding the city gate.

Or do you think that the faction hostile to Ling Yue has already taken control of all the cities near Tianya Island? But in this case, their advantage is already great enough, so it doesn't matter whether Ling Yue is there or not."

"Hmm... maybe Lingyue is very powerful, strong enough to affect this balance... Hmm... But for a force like Tianya Island, it seems that other people can't have such influence except their island master."

Ying's words made Gu Ling begin to doubt her previous guess, so she continued:

"There is also the matter of Ling Yue being possessed by a demon. If she made this up, there are people from the Wanxian Pavilion present. Their power is no less than that of Tianya Island, and they are authoritative enough. Such a matter can be figured out with a simple investigation. It is impossible for the people from Tianya Island to fabricate this matter."

After hearing this, Gu Ling gave up completely. She sighed and asked Ying:

"Okay, it seems that I guessed wrong, but why is this?"

Unfortunately, Ying didn't know the answer to this question either. Just when they fell into silence, Guiyan suddenly spoke:

"Ying, Master has just told me the reason."

"Huh? Has Lingyue recovered?" Ying asked in surprise. Lingyue had not responded along the way. Although Ying knew that the other party was just trying to save mana, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

But Guiyan shook his head and said:

"Although the mana I have accumulated through my practice has helped Master recover some of her mana, she still cannot talk to us like before. It is only because Master is in my body that she can tell me her thoughts directly."

"So that's how it is," Ying said with some regret, but continued to ask, "Does she know why?"

"Teacher said that it might be because her Dao Ming Jade was damaged when she was in Linxian Village, and the evil spirit inside was revealed."

"Dao Ming Jade?"

This was another new thing that Ying had never heard of before.

"Ah! I know this thing!" Gu Ling jumped up quickly and continued without waiting for Gui Yan to speak:

"The Dao Ming Jade is a magic weapon bound to a cultivator. This magic weapon has only one function, which is to provide real-time feedback on the cultivator's condition, such as if he is dying, seriously injured, poisoned, or contaminated with demonic energy.

Generally speaking, Dao Ming Jade will be kept in some major sects to facilitate the sect to understand the situation of key figures in the sect and to conduct timely search and rescue and support. If Dao Ming Jade is damaged and reveals demonic energy, it means that the cultivator has been completely possessed by the devil. "

Ying nodded, but then asked:

"But Ling Yue is obviously fine, how come the Dao Ming Jade shows that she has been possessed by a demon?"

"Master said that although she had some tricks up her sleeve when she dealt with Hei Lingyue, her soul was almost completely infected by the evil spirit at that time, leaving only a little bit of her will. Although that state only lasted for a moment, Master was still considered to be completely possessed by the devil by the Dao Ming Jade, so it was damaged."

"Uh... I didn't expect it to be like this. This Dao Ming Jade is really not accurate."

That was clearly Ling Yue's last-ditch effort, but Dao Ming Yu mistakenly believed it to be a symbol of her demise, causing Ying and the others to be considered as accomplices of the demonic monk.

"Master also said that it was a good thing we escaped. She knew the cultivator from Tianya Island who was guarding the city. His name was Qu Ning. He was one of the most strict people in following the rules. According to the rules of Tianya Island, anyone who becomes a demon must be killed. If we were caught by her, I'm afraid we wouldn't have a chance to defend ourselves."

"Does she belong to a different faction from Ling Yue? Are they hostile to each other?" Gu Ling jumped up again. Although her guess had been overturned, for the sake of face, she still hoped to find even a little bit of correctness in her guess.

Gui Yan showed an embarrassment. In fact, this expression alone explained everything - she knew that Gu Ling's guess was completely wrong, but she was embarrassed to criticize her. However, under the other party's innocent gaze, she felt that she had to correct her mistake, so she said cruelly:

"No, you are totally wrong. There is no factional fighting in Tianya Island, and Qu Ning is not Master's enemy. She is actually Master's sister-in-law, and her sister and Master are in a relationship."

"Huh?" Gu Ling was stunned. There was a hint of doubt in her eyes, which then turned into confusion, and then an embarrassment was attached, which made Gu Ling's face begin to turn red. But just when her face turned as red as a half-ripe apple, she realized a few key words in Gui Yan's words - sister-in-law, sister, partner!

“Hey hey hey!” Gu Ling shouted:

"Is Lingyue's partner actually a woman?"
