Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Mo Yan sighed helplessly and watched Kailin rush into the restaurant. He turned to look at the boy who called himself "An". He was standing awkwardly in the shadows of the street corner, his pale skin faintly visible under his tattered cloak.

Strange, why can't I sense any presence from him? Is it because of his wandering... or the cloak?

He pondered for a moment and was about to ask when he suddenly heard several gunshots in the restaurant.

Bang bang bang!

"What's this girl up to again..."

He stood there, completely at a loss as to what to do, until Kailin swaggered out of the store carrying a lunch box. At that moment, her face was completely filled with a relaxed expression of "much more comfortable".

This girl, is she looking for someone to vent her anger on?

Mo Yan covered his head and watched her walk to him quietly.

At this time, Kailin handed the bag to An: "Here, eat it. I didn't see anything good, so I just ordered some roasted eggplant and braised pork. Just eat it."

"Oh, thank you, sister..." An took the bag and opened the lunch box.

At this time, Mo Yan leaned against Kailin and asked quietly, "My dear, what was that gunshot just now?"

Kailin lifted her hair and said, "Well, it's nothing. I just taught a lesson to some people who like to make things difficult for customers. Don't worry, I fired three shots: one at the ceiling, one at his feet, and one that shattered his favorite vase. Now he's learned to speak honorifics."

Mo Yan covered his face, his temples throbbing. "Hey, you said you wouldn't cause trouble!"

"It's alright. After I taught that guy a lesson, I left enough Black Stone to pay the bill." Kailin put her hands on her hips and scratched her head. "Come to think of it, we haven't exchanged currency since we got here."

Mo Yan was furious. He folded his arms and said, "Oh, who knew something like this would happen? It would be best if the other party doesn't pursue the matter. But next time, I hope you can change your spoiled brat attitude!"

"Hehe, if I change, will I still be myself?" Kailin teased mischievously.

Afterwards, the three of them sat on a bench by the roadside. At this time, An placed the rice and vegetables on his knees and on both sides respectively. Although he was hungry, he did not eat them voraciously. Instead, he used chopsticks to divide the food into small portions. His movements were so elegant that it was totally inconsistent with his identity as a wanderer.

At this moment, Kailin sat aside, staring blankly. Then, she carefully leaned close to Mo Yan's ear and said, "You eat so elegantly. Do you think Xiao An was a wealthy son of some noble family?"

Mo Yan shrugged. "It's hard to say."

Gradually, Kailin began to feel a little uncomfortable. After all, this was a rare opportunity to help others, and she wanted to serve a warm meal like in the TV series. She looked at the fox raised by the other party and then said gently, "Eat slowly, there's no rush."

But now, the development of the plot was completely beyond her expectations. Although she was happy to help others, she always felt a little empty.

Oh, forget it, let’s not force it too much.

Thinking of this, Kailin smiled again and asked, "How is it? Is it delicious?"

An Ping nodded calmly, his eyes filled with sadness beneath his tangled hair: "Well, it's been a long time since I last witnessed warmth."

"Ah?" Karen was stunned, and at the same time she kept wondering in her heart, "How much suffering has he experienced?" But then she thought that it might touch the scar, so she didn't say anything.

But then again, if every family really had warmth, then when I was young I wouldn't have...

She shook her head slightly and continued to smile, "By the way, since you have nowhere to go, why not stay with us."

At this moment, Mo Yan was stunned.

"This...is not a good idea." An evaded.

Just as Kailin opened her mouth to reply, she was pulled aside by Mo Yan.

"Are you crazy? Let this kid come with us. Aren't you afraid that he is a spy from the Fallen Angel Brigade or the Barbarians?" He pressed the back of Karin's head and growled softly.

But Kailin refused to believe it. After struggling to break free, she retorted in a low voice, "You're not done yet, are you? This pitiful child is so pitiful, how could he be a spy? I think you're being too suspicious."

"What do you mean I'm too suspicious? Would a spy tell you he's a spy? In this situation, can't you change your innocent heart? Can you stop showing such overly sensitive sympathy?" Mo Yan whispered.

Just as the two were arguing, An suddenly seemed to sense some danger, and left quietly before either of them could react. When Karen came to her senses, she saw only half a bowl of lunch box and leftovers on the bench.

"Xiao An? Where have you been, Xiao An?" Kailin called out, but there was no response from An.

At this moment, she became furious again and pointed the finger at Mo Yan.

"Really? It's all your fault. Now that Xiao An is missing, are you satisfied? If something really happened to him, wouldn't we have harmed him?" she said frantically.

Seeing this, Mo Yan held his forehead again and said helplessly: "So, do you still want to find him?"

Kailin put her hands on her hips and glared at Mo Yan angrily: "Of course I have to look for him! What if he's in danger?"

She turned around and was about to chase her deeper into the street. Mo Yan wanted to pull her back, but failed. He had no choice but to follow her.

Just at this moment, a dazzling white lightning suddenly flashed in the sky not far ahead.

Next to the fountain in the square, An was injured by the lightning and half-knelt on the ground, covering his chest. Standing in front of him was a white-haired man with his upper body half naked. Tiny lightning was wrapped around his fingertips. He slowly approached An with a dangerous curve at the corner of his mouth.

"Found you, little mouse." The man's voice was teasing. "You've been hiding for so long, and you're finally willing to show up?"

An coughed violently, and the hood of his cloak slipped off, revealing his already messy light gray hair.

"Ling Lu's Four Poles, 'Shan Ting' Ming Huang..." An wiped his lips, his eyes suddenly becoming sharp, "So that's how it is, you've been monitoring them the whole time..."

"Oh? You know quite a bit." Minghuang tilted his head, lightning crackling at his fingertips. "Honestly, I didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain this time. After all, our original intention was just to protect those guests under the guise of surveillance and prevent them from being exploited by you. After all, he is still Xuan Yue's guardian. Although his appearance may not be satisfactory to the people, he is still a guardian worthy of our respect. Unlike you, who only do despicable things."

Minghuang clenched his fists, and white lightning exploded at his fingertips. Just as he was about to deliver a fatal blow, a wave of blood suddenly rose in the air.

"stop!"

Kailin held a dagger in one hand and a sickle in the other, quickly cutting through the space to block An. The blood tide kept rolling and instantly swallowed the lightning.

Minghuang's face froze, and he quickly retreated. "I see, the devouring power of the Blood Princess is just like that. It seems Brother Dongfang was right. You have indeed obtained the other guardian credentials and have completely mastered their power."
