Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Looking at the scene before them, everyone hid behind the wall and dared not show up.

"Shouldn't we go up and say hello?" Mo Yan asked.

Tianlang smiled awkwardly: "Forget it, given the situation, do you think he will be able to treat us well?"

"Huh? Aren't you a guardian? Why are you worried about this?" Kailin complained.

"What's wrong with a guardian? Aren't guardians ordinary people? They just live a little longer. They still have to be afraid of what they should be afraid of."

"Well, it's amazing that you can come up with this theory that makes some sense but also sounds a bit like an excuse." Karen continued to complain.

"Enough!" White Wolf suddenly shouted, "Why do you think everything I do is wrong? I just want to help everyone in my own way. Is that wrong? Why do I have to inherit this contract like you and father? I have my own ideas. Why can't you respect my decision?"

"Your decision? What's your decision? Is it to get involved in these crooked ways?" Bai Lie said, "I told you before, if you don't want to inherit our Bai family's 'spirit', then I won't force you. But there are so many elements, why did you choose this one?"

"That's my own choice. There's no need for you to nag me here!" After saying that, the white wolf ran away angrily.

At this moment, Bai Lie was standing there, stamping his feet in anger: "Bai Lang! Really, this kid has been spoiled by his father!"

He sighed, then glanced at the wall behind him: "Friends over there, after seeing so much, it's time for them to show up."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tianlang was the first to come out from behind the wall! "As expected of Bai Lie, we were discovered even though we didn't say anything."

Seeing this, Bai Lie turned around and said respectfully, "So it's Lord Tianlang. My apologies." He glanced at Mo Yan, Kailin, and the others who were gradually emerging from behind the wall and asked, "These people should be your friends, right?"

"Yes, they are my new friends." Tianlang nodded, then looked in the direction where Bailang ran and asked, "That guy just now should be your nephew, right? What's going on? Are you two uncle and nephew unhappy again?"

Bai Lie scratched his head and replied, "That's right. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, but please don't worry. This is just an ordinary family matter between us."

"Family matters?" Zhao Heng said doubtfully. "Excuse me, but given the current situation, your statement is not at all convincing."

Hearing this, Bai Lie hesitated for a moment, then sighed angrily: "Alas, for me, it's just a family matter. How about this, everyone who has come from afar, please go inside and have some tea, and then I will slowly explain the situation to you."

Everyone looked at each other and nodded.

When they arrived at the military camp, Bai Lie made some rough tea for everyone and then began to tell a long story.

"The story goes like this. Three years ago, my brother, White Wolf's father, tragically died in a disaster. Since then, my nephew has inherited his father's legacy."

"Isn't this normal?" Karen said with her hands spread out.

"What does Bai Lang say? Although it is common for sons to inherit their father's business, haven't you considered his thoughts?" Zhao Heng asked.

"Of course, this was Wolf's own choice. I also asked him what he thought and gave him other options." Bai Lie nodded.

"So where are you now?" Mo Yan asked.

"It's all because of those crooked ways he learned." Bai Lie said, folding his arms. "The contracts inherited by our Bai family have always been based on fire, but this kid, despite not choosing fire, chose blood when there were so many elements before him. Isn't that infuriating?"

Hearing this, everyone was slightly stunned.

"Um, is there a problem?"

"This is a huge problem. What is the blood element? It's a self-destructive element. How many people have gone astray or even died from exhaustion because of it? But this kid has kept it a secret from me until now. If I hadn't discovered that he was mentally ill when I came back this time, how would I have known that he had been practicing such a crooked way all this time!"

Bai Lie became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and Tianlang beside him patiently tried to persuade him.

"Okay, calm down. Maybe you're right. The blood element, due to its characteristics, is indeed a bit unpopular. But please don't call it a crooked sorcery just because of that."

"Am I wrong? The blood element provides power to the user at the cost of burning blood and life. This is the quickest and most disguised method, but it will also plunge the user into an irretrievable state. In my opinion, how is this different from a crooked sorcery?"

"Oh, is that what you think?" Tianlang asked with a look of disdain. "What about the Blood Princess? She's a guardian whose primary purpose is blood. She once stained the source with blood and guarded an area. Do you think her power is also a crooked sorcery?"

Hearing this, Bai Lie was stunned for a moment: "That's not the case, it's just that my nephew is a dog. How can he be compared with the Blood Princess among the Eight Guardians?"

"Really? But Blood Princess was once an ordinary person. Although she had the help of the Holy Lord, her situation was no different from that of White Wolf. Besides, there was also a man in Shaling holding a blood-drinking demon sword, protecting thousands of people. He was also an ordinary person. Don't you think that White Wolf can't compare with him?" Tianlang asked.

"That's true, but it won't last long. Who can say for sure if he'll do something wrong? I'm his uncle, and I understand his personality. Take this incident for example. If I hadn't noticed something was wrong early on, who knows how far he would have gone."

Tianlang shook his head and continued, "General Bai, I understand you're doing this out of concern for Bailang, but the element a person chooses to use isn't determined by choice alone; it also depends on talent and aptitude. Throughout history, your Bai family has undoubtedly been home to more than just Bailang, who has wielded elements other than fire. I remember your father, Baisha, once wielded the same evil elemental power as the evil spirit."

"That's true." Bai Lie nodded.

"That's all," Tianlang said with a smile. "I think it's because you were so quick-tempered and things happened so suddenly that you lacked communication. I think you should calm down and talk things out with Bailang."

Bai Lie lowered his head and said, "That's true. I'm sorry, I was too impulsive. I will calm down and explain things to Wolf."

"Well, that's right!" Tianlang said with a smile.

"In that case, let us help you." Kailin suddenly said excitedly.

"I'm not saying anything, why do you want to get involved in everything?" Mo Yan said helplessly.

"Yes, this is General Bai and his family's family affair. It wouldn't be nice for us to get involved." Zi Xuan shrugged.
