Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Kailin shook the bars vigorously and shouted angrily, "I've already told you, we're being wronged. Don't you understand? Let us out now!"

"Come on, everyone imprisoned here claims they're innocent and want to complain. You'll be allowed to speak your mind when you're interrogated. Now just stay in there and behave yourself!"

"Huh? What's your attitude? Believe it or not, I'll complain to you after the news gets out!"

Kailin vented again, but was met with the mockery of the jailer.

"Come on, this is a prison cell. What attitude should you show to the prisoners? You are just a young lady. After entering here, you act like you are the young lady of another family!" The jailer looked into the prison through the narrow windows of the iron gate.

He glared at her fiercely, and Karen's arrogant attitude instantly eased a lot.

Just at this moment, Mo Yan, who was sitting in the corner, suddenly came over, but compared to Kailin's arrogance, his attitude was somewhat submissive.

"Brother, don't pay attention to this girl. She's just used to being a big shot." He turned to look at Kailin and said in a scolding tone, "And you too. What kind of place are you in? You're still making such a fuss. Do you really think this place belongs to your family?"

Kailin curled her lips and said dissatisfiedly, "Huh? What do you mean? I have a grievance and I want to appeal, and I can't even do that? Besides, isn't this all for you? And you, not only don't help me, but you also join others in criticizing me?"

Mo Yan sighed, leaning close to Kailin's ear and lowering his voice, but then deliberately raising it to a pitch that even the jailers could hear. "Silly girl, the more you make a fuss, the less likely they are to let us out. Now all we have to do is stay here and cooperate with them to get to the bottom of this matter. Only then can we clear our name. Do you understand?"

"Hmph, this young man is right. You'd better stay here until the matter is investigated clearly. Besides, Lady Keqing has instructed us to take good care of you, so you don't have to feel wronged." The jailer outside the door folded his hands and nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and prepared to leave.

suddenly.

"Wait a minute, jailer brother!" Mo Yan suddenly shouted.

"Huh? What happened again?" The other party turned around and looked at the cell again.

Mo Yan scratched his head. "Nothing much. We've been busy all night and haven't run out of water yet. We still have some money in our bags. If it's possible, could you please…"

"Oh, that's easy. Wait, I'll get you some water."

After saying this, the jailer turned and left, his footsteps gradually fading away. When he returned and opened the cell door, he was pushing a large water jar filled with water on a cart in his hand.

At this time, he leaned against the wall, tapped the water jar gently and said, "Here, it's full. Is that enough for you to drink?"

As he spoke, the attendant brought in an exquisite tea set. Along with the water jar, two food boxes were also wheeled in. The jailer grinned, "Master Keqing specifically instructed that you two not be treated unfairly."

As he said that, he opened the iron bars and put all the things in.

Kailin approached the food box suspiciously. After opening the lid, her eyes lit up. "Wow, this snack looks really good." She grabbed a piece of osmanthus cake and stuffed it into her mouth, mumbling, "Well, she still has some conscience..."

Mo Yan picked up the teapot and scooped a pot of water from the water tank. When he placed it on the table, the flame patterns around it quickly lit up and soon smoke came out of the teapot.

"Wow, this is amazing, it can even heat up by itself!" Karen said with shining eyes while eating the snack.

"Of course. Since Linglang is close to the abyss, there are naturally many more magical things."

The jailer closed the iron bars, then squatted by the door and smiled.

At this moment, Mo Yan also took out a few rough stones from his backpack and handed them to the other party: "Thank you, brothers. This is a small gift of respect. Please accept it."

The jailer held up his hand to block it, and smiled softly: "No, I dare not do that. If I accept it, it will be no different from a bribe. If some bastard reports me, I will lose my job."

Mo Yan didn't force it after hearing this. He smiled and took the stone back: "Brother, you are right. I was not considerate enough."

He turned and winked at Kailin, who immediately understood and complained loudly, "Tsk! You can't even accept a tip! What's the point of being a jailer?"

The jailer wasn't annoyed, but instead sat beside him cheerfully, "Little girl, you don't understand. Working in Linglang City is all about integrity. Take last month for example, a colleague accepted 20 thunder coins from a prisoner, and then some bastard reported him, saying he'd taken millions. The next day, he was hung on the city gate for public display."

"Is it so strict?" Mo Yan widened his eyes.

"Then your colleague was wronged," Karen sighed.

"Isn't it?" The jailer leaned against the bars again and asked with curiosity, "By the way, I heard you came from other places and passed through several places along the way. Do you have any interesting stories to share?"

"Oh? Does the jailer also like to listen to gossip?" Mo Yan asked with a smile while drinking the freshly boiled water.

"It's just a hobby, right? How about picking a few to share?" The jailer rubbed his hands, his eyes gleaming with gossip. Mo Yan and Kailin exchanged a glance, their lips curling up subtly.

"As for interesting stories, there are some. From Xuanyue to Heiyu, and from Heiyu to Chicheng, and then to Linhui, we unexpectedly went to Sangyang, and then to Sangangwan and Shaling. It's a bit hard to count them all."

"Is that so?" The jailer stroked his chin and continued, "Then let's talk about Xuanyue first. I heard that there was a light-loss syndrome outbreak there not long ago, and many people in the city were sick. I'm quite curious about how they solved it."

"Okay, since you are so interested, I will start from the beginning." Mo Yan said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the jailer immediately leaned forward and listened attentively...

For the next few minutes, Mo Yan recounted everything he had seen and heard along the way, including his encounter with the guardians and his battles against the Fallen Angel Brigade. This lecture lasted until the afternoon...

"With the help of Qixing, Yaohui, Sister Xueqi, and the heroic spirits of all the seniors, we finally defeated the former leader of the Sanyang Bandits, Yufu Eijiro. However, unwilling to admit defeat, he released an evil spirit capable of devouring everything into the sea. Thanks to the appearance of Ice Emperor Rexos, we were able to successfully resolve the crisis."

Hearing this, the jailer, who had been listening with great interest, stroked his chin and said, "So that's what happened. Regarding the leader of the Sangyang Rebellion, we only heard that he was sent to Sangang Bay by Military Advisor Luo Hao and Commander Lu Xi and his ashes were crushed to dust in public. I never thought such a thing would happen."

At this point, he looked up to the sky and sighed, "Alas, what a pity! If possible, I would also like to meet with the predecessors who protected the four directions during the Sangyang Rebellion 200 years ago. After so many years, I really want them to witness the prosperity of this world..."
