Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

In the morning of Linglang, in the hotel, Mo Yan and others came downstairs to enjoy breakfast as usual. However, a night's work had transformed them from spies to the well-known "messengers of God".

The morning sun shone through the carved window lattices onto the wooden table, casting a golden glow on the steaming soy milk. Mo Yan had just picked up a fried dough stick when he heard gasps echoing around him.

"Look! It's the God's Messenger who helped us resolve the crisis last night!"

Kailin's spoon clanged into the bowl. The entire dining hall stood up, and one white-haired old man even faltered, about to kneel. Zixuan quickly used a vine to support the old man, but this only led to even more exclamations.

Tianlang whistled and said, "It's only been one night, and your reputation is already so great?"

"Are you making fun of us too?" Karen looked at him with disdain.

"But this is a good thing, isn't it? It's better than the brigade's spies." Tianlang said with his hands spread out.

"Then this good thing is for you, do you want it?"

Tianlang hesitated when he heard this and said, "Forget it, even though I am a guardian, I still want to keep a low profile."

At this time, the waiter came to the crowd with buns that had just been taken out of the oven.

"Guys, you're really famous. It's only been one night, but now almost everyone in the store knows about you." He put the buns on the table and said with a smile.

"Although, the distance between being a spy and becoming a savior is just one night. It's really awkward." Karen shook her head with her hands folded.

"But this is also a good thing. At least we don't have to be monitored anymore." Mo Yan said with his arms folded.

Just as the waiter turned to leave, Zhao Heng, who was sitting next to him, suddenly called him.

"By the way, the shop owner."

"Huh? Is there something wrong?" The second brother turned around.

"Nothing. I heard that you were at the counter all night last night, so I just wanted to ask, nothing strange happened in our room last night, right?"

"Strange thing?" The waiter scratched his head, "No."

"Did you hear any strange noises?"

"As for the sounds, apart from Mr. Tianlang's footsteps, there doesn't seem to be anything strange."

"Tianlang's... footsteps?" Kailin was slightly stunned.

"Yes, Mr. Tianlang was worried about you before I came back yesterday. In order to calm him down, I made tea for him."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze to Tianlang. He was casually picking up a bun, a dazed look in his eyes.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like this suddenly?" He said incoherently while eating a bun.

Zhao Heng lowered his head at this time: "Oh, I see. Thank you. I'm fine now."

The waiter waved his hand: "It's okay, just call me if you need anything."

After saying that, he turned around and walked into the kitchen. At this moment, the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became subtle.

Zi Xuan tilted her head slightly and whispered, "Are you asking these questions because you're still thinking about what happened last night?"

Zhao Heng nodded: "Yes, I don't think it's an illusion."

"But the waiter also said that Tianlang was the only one in the room last night. If there really was someone there, wouldn't everyone in the inn be able to hear it?" said Kailin.

"That's true, but..."

Zhao Heng was thinking, and before he finished speaking, a small group of soldiers suddenly came to the front of the hotel, led by Ye Lan and Dongfang Lei. They walked into the hotel and saw the five people sitting in the corner at a glance.

"Good morning, everyone." Ye Lan walked to the table with a smile.

"Sister Ye Lan? Why are you here?" Kailin suddenly stood up from her seat.

"Coming to us at this time must be bad news." Mo Yan stood aside and complained quietly with his hands clasped.

"Haha, it seems that Mr. Mo Yan still has some opinions about us." Ye Lan smiled with her hands folded.

Mo Yan shook his head: "That's not the case, it's just that you are very busy people. You came to us at this time, it must be for business."

Ye Lan chuckled, "Smart, but this time, it's not official business, but Lord Lei Zun wants to see you all."

"Thunder Lord Li Xueyan?" Kailin was shocked.

When they heard the news, everyone was both happy and surprised.

They were happy because, after three days in Linglang, they could finally see her and ask her about the evidence; but they were shocked because of recent events, which made everyone worry about whether there would be other misunderstandings.

Ye Lan nodded: "That's right, but it's best not to call Master Lei Zun by his name in public."

Hearing this, Kailin scratched her head and looked around, and found that the diners around her all looked terrified.

She stuck out her tongue and lowered her voice, "When are we going?"

"Of course it's up to you all to decide, and then Dongfang and I will lead you all there. But it's better not to keep the lady waiting for too long." Ye Lan put down her hands and smiled.

"In that case, we'll go there after breakfast." Tianlang replied.

Ye Lan nodded slightly: "Okay, Dongfang and I will wait outside."

"Just waiting? Don't you want to eat something?" Karen asked.

Ye Lan turned around and smiled, "Thank you, but we've already had our meal in the barracks."

Dongfang Lei stood aside and nodded without saying anything.

"Okay then." Karen said with her hands on her hips.

After breakfast, everyone, led by Ye Lan, Dongfang Lei and the soldiers, headed towards the Thunder God Temple in the center of Linglang City.

They paraded through the streets with complete dignity. The people on both sides of the street spontaneously made way for them and stopped to watch. Some in the group cheered, some applauded, and some even shouted slogans like "Long live the Lord Messenger of God, may He bless you." This sudden outpouring of adoration left the team members somewhat bewildered.

"You're really welcome." Ye Lan's eyes drifted to both sides, and she smiled with her hands folded.

"That's just someone's publicity being too strong," Karin said calmly, hands on her hips. "While I enjoy the feeling of being admired, compared to being framed as a spy yesterday, this turn of events in just one day is truly outrageous."

"This is what people want." Dongfang Lei chuckled a few times and smiled.

Hearing this, Kailin gave a bitter laugh and remained silent. Zixuan, standing beside him, then asked, "Since we wiped out the barbarian base in the city last night, the current crisis in the city should be resolved, right?"

"Well, that's the theory." Ye Lan nodded quietly.

"In theory?" everyone was stunned.

"Is it because of the spy who escaped?" Zhao Heng asked.

"But didn't you say that Lei Zun chased after them at that time? Did they escape again?" Kailin asked with her hands spread out slightly.

After the words fell, Ye Lan hushed softly: "Shh, some things are best not said outside, especially in such a busy street market."
