Genshin Impact: A Traveler with Only Two Skills

Before something happens, there will definitely be many signs.

Shen Xichen discovered these omens, noticed these omens, and even understood what these omens meant and what would happen under these omens.

But even so, she realized that she couldn't stop this from happening.

"What did Gu Tianhan say to you?" Shen Qing looked at his daughter, but the kindness he once had on his face was gone.

"When did Dad start to smile less?" Shen Xichen did not answer Shen Qing's question, but recalled it in his heart.

Did it start from when he heard that the celestial being had become the enemy of the Ancient Saint of Tianhuang? Or did it start from when he was banished to the snowy plains as a sinner?

It seemed like neither was the case. At least at that time, Shen Qing would still smile at him, care about his condition, and always blame himself, thinking that it was he, the incompetent sect leader, who had harmed the entire sect and his daughter.

But now Shen Qing no longer blames himself, all the faults are now someone else's.

Oh, yes, it started when the rebels showed up.

"You said you found the trace of the disobedients, why didn't you report to me immediately, causing them to run away again!" Shen Qing's low growl sounded, and this time Shen Xichen had to turn his attention back to his father.

"There were quite a few rebellious people, and I didn't have enough disciples with me at the time. In order to avoid being discovered by them, I had to retreat first..."

This was of course a lie. She did not find any trace of the disobedient person, but there had to be no disobedient people in the snowfield now.

"Nonsense!" Shen Qing roared and slammed his hand on the table. The teacup on the table was shaken by the vibration. The little tea left in the cup was directly splashed onto the table and froze into ice in an instant.

Shen Xichen looked at the frozen tea with his eyes drooped.

"You should keep a close eye on those guys! Gushan is now occupied by us. They can't compete with us at all. The only thing we have to guard against is their secret actions. If you let them run away, it will only put us in a passive position!" Shen Qing stood up, his face flushed with excitement.

"That's really not what a sect leader should do." Shen Xichen lowered her head even more. However, her action did not stop Shen Qing, who originally loved her, from his anger.

"Lift your head up! You are my daughter, you are the daughter of the clan leader, you should never bow your head, lift your head up."

Shen Qing shook his head gently and asked, "Dad, what are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid?" Shen Qing's rage suddenly calmed down. "What am I afraid of? What do I have to be afraid of?"

"Gu Tianhan! He must have said something to you. He was the one who ordered those disobedient people to go away. And now he's asking you to doubt me."

"No, I saw it myself. You are afraid that even if there are no disobedient people, even if that outsider brings attention, the Ancient Sage Tianhuang will not forgive our sins, never." Shen Qing said. Not only him, but also those disobedient people, and some disciples who are still companions may also want to say this.

Shen Qing lied to them for a long time, telling them that the Ancient Sage of Tianhuang would forgive their sins and that one day they could return to the Great Wilderness. All these lies were out of good intentions and to give them hope, but he lied to them for too long, so long that he himself believed these lies, and so long that he even forgot why he told these lies.

But he was actually very clear that without the enemy, the disobedient, and their so-called sins never being forgiven, how would they survive in the future?

"You are still worried that we will no longer recognize you as our leader. You no longer have the means to maintain all this." Shen Qing continued. This time she raised her head and saw the leader in front of her. Her father gradually became decadent, and the anger in her eyes disappeared.

"I can only do this... Child, we will not die in the snowfield, but can we really be considered alive like this? If we let all the disciples lose hope, then what will happen to us who have no magic power? We cannot bear such a result."

"I know, Dad. Gu Tianhan really didn't say anything to me, and I didn't let those disobedient people go on purpose. I really don't know what to do."

"Dad knows you are tired. Leave everything to Dad. I shouldn't force you like this. Okay, go and rest. Have a good sleep."

Immortals don't need to sleep, but they have to rest since they have lost their magical powers.

After seeing Shen Xichen off, Shen Qing closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, until a blizzard appeared outside the lonely mountain again. The cold air woke him up from his half-awake state. He said in a hoarse voice: "We can't keep this child. She will be used."

"But she is your daughter." An old voice sounded in Shen Qing's ears. It was an old man who still had magical powers. When the sect still existed, he was the second strongest man after Shen Qing. He was also a senior who watched Shen Xichen grow up.

"Do as I say." Shen Qing responded coldly.

……

The blizzard tonight was heavier than ever before. Shen Qing brought a few disciples who still had some magical powers to Shen Xichen's room. The disciples in charge of patrolling naturally would not stop the sect master, but he also noticed that there seemed to be a lot more eyes on him than before.

"We can't delay any longer." Shen Qing pushed open Shen Xichen's door. Without waiting for the people inside to react, several spells fell on the other person.

They won't die in the snow, but there is still a way to control a person.

"Let her fall into a deep sleep, forever, until the day we leave the snowfield." This was the order issued by Shen Qing. Those who followed him would naturally not disobey his orders, but just when they thought they had completed the task, they discovered that the person in the house was not Shen Qing.

"Sect Master!" The old man was shocked. Wasn't the Sect Master beside him? How could he be at Shen Xichen's position? He quickly looked around. The position that should have been Shen Qing's was Gu Tianhan instead.

However, before he could understand what was going on, Shen Xichen rushed into the house with a team of disciples.

"These are the traitors, catch them!"

There was no time to resist, and he was unable to resist. The magic power left in Gu Tianhan's body was more than he had expected. The old man felt that he had become an ordinary mortal in an instant, not even a cultivator. It was at this time that he realized that he really was an old man.

These people who obeyed Shen Qing were considered traitors who had defected to the rebels and attacked the sect leader. In the end, like Shen Qing, their consciousness was wiped out and they fell into a permanent sleep.

After executing the traitor, Shen Xichen naturally took over the position of sect leader. She also learned from Gu Tianhan that the disobedient person was no longer in the Snow Plain.

"So, in the end, we are the only ones trapped in the snowfield." Shen Xichen did not show too much emotion, but her heart was filled with despair. She knew very well that the forgiveness of the Ancient Sage Tianhuang would never come. They could only wait for the arrival of the next "Ying". Before that, if the news of the departure of the "rebel" was known to other sinners, a new round of civil strife would inevitably occur.

She had to maintain the illusion that the rebels still existed, and even take it a step further.

As if in response to her expectations, the snowstorm on Lonely Mountain lasted for a long time, so long that everyone thought they would never see the sun again. In the end, several disciples fell into despair due to the exhaustion of their magic power.

Shen Xichen asked Gu Tianhan to hint to everyone at the right time that their situation was caused by that group of disobedient people, turning the despair in the hearts of the sinners into resentment.

If they had still taken into consideration the friendship between fellow disciples when facing the disobedient ones in the past, now they have become mortal enemies with the disobedient ones.

Shen Xichen seemed to have seen with her own eyes the hatred of the sinners transform into tangible flames, burning to its peak in just a few days. On the day she left Lonely Mountain, she asked Gu Tianhan:

"Why does Dad suspect that I'm being used by someone?" Shen Xichen asked. She looked at Gu Tianhan and felt that the flames of the sinners were also burning in her body.

"Who does he suspect will use me?" Shen Xichen asked, but all she got in response was a smile from Gu Tianhan, and then the other person's figure disappeared in front of her.

The fire in Shen Xichen's heart also burned. Unlike everyone else, her fire burned because of Gu Tianhan. But like everyone else, this fire burned for only one purpose -
