Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

"And so, I passed out from exhaustion. When I woke up again, the Blood Princess, also known as Li Xueqi, appeared before me in a grand manner," Yang continued, arms folded. "She treated me and neutralized all the toxins in my body. With the addition of the Protector Certificate, I have become immune to all poisons today."

That day, when Yang Youyou woke up, not only Blood Princess, but also other members of the tribe gathered there.

Everyone's eyes were filled with concern and curiosity, and some even looked relieved to have survived. Although some people were still puzzled by her behavior.

The Holy Lord stood among the crowd, and the Ice Emperor Rexaos stood beside him, always on guard.

"You're awake."

She looked at the Holy Lord with a frown on her face, but the Holy Lord was very calm.

"Don't be nervous. You've won this bet. According to the contract, I will take back the spring water. But as the loser, you will also receive the punishment you deserve. From today on, you will be the sixth guardian, the poisonous spirit, and "eternal life" will be your punishment."

"From then on, I was forced to take on this task," Yang continued, his arms folded. "Because of my age and longevity, everyone envied me. But little did they know that for the past thousand years, besides responsibility, there was also pain. I constantly wanted to hand over the burden to someone else, just like I did yesterday. But let's not talk about the people above not allowing it. This position can't just be filled by anyone."

"Yang..." Kailin gave a sympathetic look.

At this moment, after hearing Yang's past, both she and Mo Yan felt only heavy. Only then did she understand how important it was to maintain a relaxed atmosphere at a pleasant tea party.

Gradually, Yang sighed: "It doesn't matter, after all, it's all in the past."

"That's what you said, but you're still upset about it, right?" Mo Yan said.

Yang nodded gently, not denying it. "But so what? I may be dissatisfied with that guy, but if I had really chosen to escape, how could Shaling be in this situation today?"

Kailin and Mo Yanxia exchanged glances and nodded, "That's true."

At this time, the maid Lan came in again and interrupted everyone's conversation.

"Master Poison Spirit, everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared."

Hearing this, Kailin asked doubtfully, "Preparation? Is there going to be another move next?"

Yang nodded and replied, "Yes, but please put away your curiosity and don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. Knowing too much about some things will not do you any good."

"Ah, that's true. Sorry..." Kailin replied, scratching her head.

"That's fine, but we'll be busy soon and won't be able to entertain you. I think you two should go back for now."

Mo Yan didn't think much about it and nodded and replied, "Well, then we won't accompany you. Although I know it may be unnecessary, please be careful."

Yang smiled and said, "Oh, who do you take me for? Thanks, I'll keep an eye on it. But if you ask me, you should worry about yourselves more than me. Things might not be peaceful next time, so you two should be careful."

Mo Yan nodded: "We will."

The two left Yang's castle. After parting with Yang, they had nothing to do but wander around, and finally stayed briefly at a nearby inn.

Sitting in the hall, the simple meal on the table didn't excite them much. At this moment, the past that Yang described hung over their hearts like a haze, making it difficult for them to let go.

Gradually, Kailin sighed, "So where are we going next?"

Mo Yan lowered his head and remained silent for a moment. "I think we should go back to the hotel first. We've been out for a long time. Maybe they'll be back by now."

Kailin nodded: "That's the only way."

After saying that, she packed the meal and put it into the storage ring, then stood up and prepared to leave with Mo Yan.

But just after walking out the door.

"Wait a moment."

Suddenly a strange voice called them. When they turned around, they saw a man dressed elegantly.

He was dressed in gorgeous yet common clothes from head to toe, looking like a man from a wealthy family.

"Excuse me, who are you?" Kailin asked doubtfully.

The man replied, "I'm sorry to bother you two. I'm a guard in Lord Poison Spirit's mansion. You must be Lord Poison Spirit's friends, right?"

"Sister Yang's bodyguard?" Kailin and Mo Yan looked at each other.

The man nodded. "When you two left earlier, something happened at the master's place. To ensure your safety, I was asked to come and ask you to go back and take shelter for a while."

"Danger? What kind of danger could there be on this street?" Karen said, waving her hands.

Mo Yan didn't say anything, just stared at him silently.

The man spoke sincerely and seemed flawless at first glance, but I always felt something was amiss.

In the mansion, apart from Sister Lan, Sister Yang seemed to have never seen anyone beside You Long. But this guy seemed to be conveying a message, but at first glance, his face was twitching slightly.

Is he nervous? Why is his breathing so rapid, and his eyes seeming a bit erratic when he speaks? Is he lying?

The man scratched his head and replied, "We don't know about that either, but that's what the order says."

An order? We've only been with Yang for less than two days. Although we've experienced battle together, she's not the type to worry about her friends. And as for danger, she warned me and Kailin before we left, as a friend, not to be particularly cautious even if there was danger. And what's more, she only sent a frail scholar to escort me.

"No, Kailin, let's go!"

Thinking of this, he seemed to realize something, held Karen's hand, and dragged her to run in the opposite direction.

Because it was so sudden, she couldn't react in time. She ran while asking in confusion, "Wait a minute, what's going on? Why are we in such a hurry?"

Mo Yan ran while turning back and hurriedly said, "It's too late to explain, but I can be sure that guy is definitely not Yang's guard!"

"What?" Karen was stunned for a moment, but she couldn't react to the situation and had no choice but to follow Mo Yan and continue forward.

But at this moment, many thugs with weapons suddenly rushed out from the surroundings. They rushed forward together as if they had ambushed them in advance, blocking all the retreat routes of the two men.

Mo Yan stopped where he was, gritted his teeth and looked around: "Sure enough, all of this was planned by you, right?"

He turned around and looked at the man from before, and this time, there was a man with a scar standing next to him.

"Brother Shanlin, it seems your plan isn't as effective as it should be."

The man folded his arms and said angrily, "So what? We still have you. To prevent the plan from going awry, we specifically asked people to hide around. Hurry up! With such a big mess, the rangers should be here soon."

"I know, I know." Scarface acted indifferent and then came up to the two of them.
