Genshin Impact: A Traveler with Only Two Skills

The evidence was conclusive and Xiaonan had no way to defend herself. Her fate was confirmed. When Bai Shang announced the punishment for Xiaonan, she was frightened to death.

The punishment was simple and brutal:

His cultivation will be disbanded, his foundation will be destroyed, and he will be expelled from Linyuan City. From now on, he will never appear within the Tiancang Sect's sphere of influence again.

Perhaps because the world is currently facing a crisis, a person is generally not sentenced to death. However, no matter from which angle you look at it, without cultivation and magic power, being expelled from Linyuan City, it is impossible to survive in the wilderness where monsters are rampant, so this kind of exile is actually a disguised death penalty.

It’s no wonder that Xiaonan was frightened to death. Everything she did was for survival, but in the end she couldn’t escape death.

Ying frowned, feeling an indescribable feeling in her heart.

From a rational point of view, Ying and Guiyan were almost tricked by Xiaonan and Sangge into becoming food for monsters. If it weren't for Ying's strong strength, they would have died long ago. They caught two criminals who were selling immortal blood, so not only did they not owe Sangge and Xiaonan anything, but they could also say that they did the right thing.

However, when she thought about Xiaonan's genuine concern for her and Guiyan during their subsequent communication, she felt that this punishment might be too severe.

"This punishment is reasonable." Ling Yue seemed to see what Ying was thinking, or perhaps she felt the same emotion in Gui Yan's heart, so she conveyed her own thoughts to her.

"After all, you have never seen the harm of immortal blood, but I must tell you that the existence of immortal blood is likely to lead to the destruction of an entire city. Moreover, many people now believe that the current state of the world is closely related to immortal blood."

Ying nodded silently in her heart without saying anything. After all, she was just a traveler, a passer-by in this world. She would leave here sooner or later, so she did not intend to interfere too much in this world - unless it was absolutely necessary.

However, it is still impossible to confirm whether Han Wei and Shu Dan have anything to do with this matter. After all, the two have lived with Sangge and Xiaonan for some time. No one can judge whether they are involved in the sale of immortal blood, and Xiaonan, who could testify, has fainted.

"Let's lock up these two first, and make a decision after we catch Sangge." After Bai Shang said this, he glanced at Ling Yue. Seeing that the other party did not react, he let his disciples escort the three people away.

On the way back, Guiyan saw that there were not many people around, so he pulled Ying aside and said:

"Ying, do you feel that Elder Bai Shang is different from before?"

"Huh? What's wrong?" Ying asked in confusion.

"I feel that the previous Elder Bai Shang, although not a very powerful master, gave me the feeling of an elder. But now he doesn't feel like an elder."

"What's that like?"

"Like..." Gui Yan tilted his head and thought for a while, "Like Master Ling Yue's younger brother!"

Hearing this answer, Ying couldn't help but smile. She naturally noticed the change in Bai Shang's behavior, but she didn't feel it strange like Gui Yan.

After all, when they met Bai Shang before, he was the elder of the Tiancang Sect and had the support of immortals behind him, while Ying and Guiyan needed a favor from him, so Bai Shang's performance would naturally appear more natural, and he would inadvertently show some aura of a superior.

But now, not to mention that Bai Han was driven out because of being possessed by a demon, even Ling Yue's identity as an immortal was enough to scare Bai Shang. Moreover, they came this time because of the matter of his Tiancang Sect's disciples selling immortal blood. He was already a little embarrassed, and naturally he didn't have the calmness and composure of an elder.

After Ying explained her idea to Guiyan, Guiyan nodded thoughtfully, as if thinking about something. After a while, she continued:

"Is it the same with Sanger and Xiaonan? They had a pretty good relationship with us before, right?"

"I think it's pretty good." Ying replied.

"Yeah, so I thought they were good people, but in fact they were bad people. It's like, the two people we knew were actually two different people."

"Sanger is still Sanger, and Xiaonan is still Xiaonan." Ying understood the confusion in Guiyan's heart. "After all, we are us, not them, nor anyone else. So the Sanger and Xiaonan we can know are only the sides they show us."

"The image of a person is completely different in the eyes of different people. He may be a good person or a bad person. We just accidentally saw another side of Sang Ge and Xiao Nan. Sometimes, this situation is really hard to accept."

After all, even though Ying understood this truth, she still felt deceived when she saw the other side of Sangge and Guiyan.

Similarly, although Gui Yan understood Ying's meaning, she still felt melancholy in her heart. She did not continue speaking along the way, but Ying had been communicating with Ling Yue.

"I didn't expect there would be so many troubles in Linyuan City. The matter of that immortal has not yet been resolved, and now there are so many more troubles." Ying complained to Lingyue.

"That's normal. The Tiancang Sect's ability is limited. I can tell you another piece of bad news."

"...Is there no good news this time?" Ying asked

"Yes, but this time I want to tell you the bad news first." Ling Yue's words entered Ying's mind, and a picture of this immortal blinking cunningly seemed to appear in front of Ying's eyes.

"…Then tell me."

"The bad news is that I used my divine sense to explore the area near the Tiancang Sect and found three abnormal places. Either there is a gathering of demonic energy or there are demonic cultivators. I think the latter is more likely, after all, there are many traces of activities there."

"Hiss—have you told the people from Tiancang Sect?" Ying asked hurriedly.

"It's useless to tell them, and it might even have the opposite effect." Ling Yue explained, "Those three places are not far from Tiancang Sect, but I didn't find them until now. If those guys are not capable, then it could only be that someone in Tiancang Sect is covering for them."

Is there an evil cultivator inside the Tiancang Sect?

Ying found it hard to believe at first, but when she thought that Bai Han had been possessed by a demon, it seemed that this was not impossible.

"So do you plan for us to investigate those places ourselves?" Ying asked Ling Yue.

"That's right. Anyway, we have considerable authority in the Tiancang Sect, so it's very convenient to enter and exit. By the way, let me tell you the good news."

Ling Yue paused for a moment, then continued:

"Actually, I'm a little unsure if this is good news. I also used my spiritual sense to investigate the magic weapon shop you mentioned, the one where you and Gui Yan met the 'Great Immortal'."

Speaking of the immortal, Ying's heart tightened. Not only was she wary of the other party's methods, she was also worried about Ling Yue's bold behavior.

"You went straight to investigate! Aren't you afraid of something going wrong?"

"I know my limits. Even if that person is really a possessed immortal, the demonic energy transmitted back by my spiritual sense is not enough to make me lose my mind. Besides, you are right next to me. I can ask you for purification at any time."

"Then you should have told me earlier." There was a hint of blame in Ying's tone.

"Okay, next time I will—do you still want to know what I discovered?"

"You say it, you say it."

"I noticed that the one you were talking about is gone."

"Gone?" Ying was startled again.

"That's right. Not only is there no magic shop there, there isn't even a house. There's only a narrow alley."
