Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

"The Holy Lord's instructions?" Karen asked in surprise.

Rex nodded. "Yes, I'm not that guy. I always keep my word. So when I learned you had obtained his Guardian's Certificate, I was planning to hand it over to you directly. But not long ago, I received instructions from the Holy Lord. He said that if you want my Guardian's Certificate, you must pass the glacier trial. Only then will you be qualified to enter the Dream Heaven."

Hearing this, Tianlang, who was sitting beside him, pretended to think seriously and said, "I see, so this is the instruction of the Saint. There is nothing we can do."

Kailin put her hands on her hips and squinted at him, saying, "Hey, could you please stop bringing up your Saint for everything?"

"But this is the truth. In Teyvat, the Holy Lord is 'order' itself, so we must absolutely obey his orders and protect him." Tianlang said with a smile.

"No, that doesn't make sense." Karen said with a cold face, even more confused.

Hearing this, Mo Yan lowered his head.

In Diablo's previous memories, the Saint looked exactly like Qi Yong. Tianlang had also said at Blood Peak Ridge that his sword-forging ability was rare in the world, and among the contractors, he should be one of the few. However, he had never heard of the other party's name, which meant that his identity was deliberately disguised. If the person he saw in the memory was really him, then Tianlang's explanations would make sense, but...

"First, he pretended to be a blacksmith to create a chance encounter, and then he helped White Wolf control his power. If he really wanted to help us, why didn't he just confess directly after meeting us? Could he be responsible for our coming here?"

Thinking of this, he shook his head violently.

"No, there are too many questions. To know the truth, I'm afraid I'll have to ask him in person."

At this moment, a crisp and somewhat hurried sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, and the next second, a woman wearing a velvet cloak like Clevi stood at the door.

She had long silver-white hair, with faint traces of black and red woven into the ends. Her face was beautiful, her skin fair, and her most striking features were her piercing, deep eyes, their pupils shaped like a cross, exuding a chilling coldness. Her nose was high, her lips pressed into a sharp line, and she exuded a powerful aura that kept strangers away.

"My lord, I'm back." She bowed her head slightly and saluted, her voice cold and majestic.

"Pepe, you're back!" Clevi said excitedly.

Seeing this, Rex nodded: "Well, what's the situation?"

"Well, a little bit." The woman walked into the room and subconsciously glanced to the sides before noticing the people sitting next to her.

She stopped and frowned slightly, as if she was on guard.

When the four of them saw this, they were also shocked by the cold aura of the woman who suddenly appeared.

"These are my guests, you don't need to worry about them." Rex spoke at the right time, breaking the slightly stagnant atmosphere.

"Is that so?" The woman's brows gradually relaxed, but the scrutiny in her eyes did not completely fade away.

At this moment, Rex turned his gaze towards the crowd again and said, "That's all I have to say. If there is nothing else, please take a rest."

As he spoke, he stared at Tianlang again and signaled with his eyes.

Tianlang paused for a moment, then immediately understood.

"Oh, okay, then we won't bother you. Let's go, everyone. This is your first time here. Why don't I take you around instead of Brother Rex." He said with a smile.

"Huh?" Kailin tilted her head, looking puzzled, but had no choice but to go with the flow.

So, everyone stood up and left the office one after another under the leadership of Tianlang.

"Oh, I thought I could get the guardian certificate smoothly, but I didn't expect something unexpected to happen." Karen sighed as she walked, her shoulders slumped.

Mo Yan remained silent, still pondering the connection between Sheng Zun and Qi Yong. He felt as if there was an invisible web behind all this.

"By the way, where should we go?" Zi Xuan stopped and asked.

"Oh, right, Sirius, where should we go... Hey?" Kailin instinctively looked forward, but there was no sign of Sirius. After looking around, she turned back and found him eavesdropping against the closed door.

"Shh!" Tianlang turned his back to them, put a finger to his mouth, and signaled everyone to be quiet.

He tilted his ear, pressed it against the door, as if listening to the noise inside, like a curious baby eavesdropping on other people's conversations.

"What are you doing?" Kailin lowered her voice and asked silently with her mouth, for fear of disturbing him.

Tianlang didn't look back, but just waved his hand.

At this time, inside the door, Peruvian had already reported the situation to Rex.

"This is the situation. Upon investigation, we found that the Fallen Angel Brigade has arrived at the glacier, and a small number of their forces are stationed on the mountain. However, judging by the current situation, they haven't made any obvious moves." Pelville said.

"Thank you for your hard work." Hearing this, Rex slowly lowered his head and pondered, "But it's only a small part..."

Pelville nodded. "Yes, at least so far, no other signs of a garrison have been found on the snowy mountain. But precisely because of this, it seems even more unusual. Given the Fallen Angel Troupe's past style, they would never act without a purpose. I suspect these few people may just be the vanguard, or... a reconnaissance unit conducting some kind of covert operation."

"Perhaps," Rex sighed softly, "But there's a simpler possibility. The Abyss's actions have caused them to suffer heavy losses, and the manpower they can mobilize is already stretched to the limit. These few people may be the maximum they can currently dispatch."

Peruvian frowned slightly: "I see, this is indeed good news for us, but we must always prepare for the worst."

"That's what she once said." Rex sighed softly, "I have to say, you are really becoming more and more like your teacher now."

Peruvian was silent for a moment, sighed, and did not respond directly.

"So, do we need to take action against them? In my opinion, it is better to eradicate this evil as soon as possible."

"No rush. Since they haven't taken any action yet, there's no need for us to alert them. Besides, the doctors of the Fallen Angel Troupe are not ordinary people. They must have taken sufficient precautions when setting up camp on the snowy mountains. Any rash action will only lead to more harm than good." Rex shook his head and said.

"Indeed, the snowy mountains are easy to defend but difficult to attack. Moreover, the place where they are stationed is on the upper edge of an area where avalanches are frequent. I was not thoughtful enough, but I still believe that ignoring the threat is the biggest hidden danger. With all due respect, sir, the threat posed by that doctor is already known to everyone. If we allow it to develop without knowing his plan, it would be tantamount to raising a tiger to harm himself." Pelville frowned slightly, but her tone remained calm.
