Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

"Huh, that's good."

Kailin plopped down on the sofa, making a few lazy noises.

"But that doesn't matter anymore..." She buried her face in the pillow and began to complain, "When I first heard about the trial, I didn't think much of it. But now, isn't it obvious that we are going to die?"

Tianlang shrugged. "Nothing can be done. After all, this is the order of the Holy Lord. Even though Brother Rex has doubts, he can only do it."

At this point, Zi Xuan looked at Mo Yan and said, "Come to think of it, you said before that when you followed Diablo back in time, you not only saw the Holy Lord's appearance, but he also looked a lot like Qi Yong, right?"

Mo Yan nodded: "Yes, although he was in the sky at that time, I wouldn't be wrong."

"Yes, yes!" Kailin pleaded, "He really does look like the guy who helped Tianlang."

Zhao Heng lowered his head and thought, "So, he has been observing our every move all along the way?"

"No way?" Kailin said with her hands spread out.

"If that's the case, then why didn't he just send us back directly instead of going through so many circles?" Zi Xuan asked.

Mo Yan folded his arms and said, "I've thought about this, but there are too few clues to infer his true intentions."

Kailin was completely confused and scratched her hair in frustration. "Ahhh! This is so complicated! Why can't you just keep it simple and send us home directly?"

Tianlang leaned against the wall, lost in thought. "The Lord Saint's thoughts are beyond our comprehension. However, since he arranged this trial, he must have his reasons. The fact that you've made it all the way here has proven your strength and potential. Perhaps this final trial is his final 'confirmation' of you."

"What are you confirming? Do we have to look at our qualifications before we can go home?" Karen said with her hands on her hips, looking dissatisfied.

Mo Yan shook his head, leaned against the window, and said nothing.

He cast his gaze towards the boundless world of ice and snow outside the window, his eyes deep. Tianlang's words stirred ripples in his heart.

Recalling Qi Yong, or rather the Holy Lord, the indifference with which he had helped them at Blood Peak Ridge, and the absolute power he had displayed in the past, if such a being truly wished to send them back, it might not be difficult.

So why bother?

Countless questions swirled in his mind, but he could not find a definite answer.

"So I still need to take part in the trial to get the certificate and then go to Mengding to find him in person to find out..." He muttered, stroking his chin.

At this moment, outside the window, a handsome figure walked out of the castle, and his long silver-gray hair was particularly eye-catching against the backdrop of ice and snow.

It was Pelville, but what was she doing outside at this time? Moreover, she was not wearing the symbolic cloak and was even wearing casual clothes.

"Strange, why would she choose this time to go out?"

He was just thinking about it when suddenly, Kailin squeezed next to him and looked out.

"Are you going to investigate something?" she said.

"No way, why would she need to change clothes just to do something..." Mo Yan stared at Peruvili's departing back, seeming to be lost in thought.

Suddenly, Kailin looked up, squeezed him, and smiled, "Don't overthink it. Since we're curious, why don't we go over and take a look?"

"Ah? This isn't a good idea." Mo Yan was stunned.

"What's wrong with that?" Kailin grinned, hands on her hips, eyes gleaming with eagerness. "Look at her. She's even changed into casual clothes. There must be something secret! Let's go and take a look. The key is that we have a good relationship with her. Maybe we can even find out some other information about the trial."

As she spoke, she winked at Zixuan and Zhao Heng.

Zi Xuan smiled helplessly and looked at Mo Yan: "Although it's a bit rash, what Linlin said is not without reason. We know too little about the trial and the situation here. Any clues may be useful."

Zhao Heng also nodded and said in a deep voice, "Just proceed with caution."

Tianlang nodded without saying a word.

Hearing this, Mo Yan's mouth twitched a few times, and then he held his forehead and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, then I'll leave Clevi's place to you."

"Yeah." The two nodded in response at the same time, but the expressions on their faces seemed to be saying something else.

"Hey, let's go." Kailin put her hands on her hips and took out a sickle to try to open a quick path to the ground.

Seeing this, Mo Yan grabbed her in time: "Ah, ah, ah, we'll be discovered like this, just leave it to me."

He placed his right hand on Karin's shoulder, and the next second, the shadow elemental power surged quietly. The two figures instantly blurred and collapsed, like ink drops dropped into water, silently blending into the shadows.

Then, he manipulated the shadow element, leading Kailin down the wall's shadows. The castle's stone walls seemed transparent to them, and the scene outside swiftly passed through their perspective. Soon, they reached the castle's lower levels. Shadows clung to the ground like a flowing black stream, trailing far behind Pelveli.

……

Pelville walked at a leisurely pace, seemingly unaware of the "tail" behind her. She crossed the courtyard outside the castle, not heading towards the mountains, nor into the noisy city, but instead turned into a relatively secluded path that had been cleanly cleared of snow.

The two followed closely in the shadows, but the surroundings on the road became increasingly remote. After walking for about ten minutes, Peruvian finally stopped in front of a relatively open, but rather cluttered snowfield.

Mo Yan and Kailin stopped behind a pile of swept snow, completely blending their bodies into it, and carefully peered out to observe.

The scene before them surprised them a little.

This wasn't some secret base, nor was it the Fallen Angel Brigade's hidden camp. Instead, it was a cemetery.

On the snow, there stood a delicate ice monument alone. There was no gorgeous decoration on it, only a few simple words engraved on it. However, because it was very old and looked like ancient characters, they did not recognize it.

Pelville slowly walked to the tombstone and stopped. She raised her hand and gently brushed away the snow on the tombstone, her movements as gentle as if she were caressing a fragile treasure.

She didn't say anything, just stood there quietly, looking up at the tombstone.

The cold wind blew up the snow on the ground and swirled around her, but it seemed to be separated by an invisible force and did not touch the corner of her clothes.

Kailin was a little stunned and whispered to Mo Yan, "So she came here to worship someone..."

Mo Yan nodded slightly, signaling Kailin to keep quiet, and then concentrated on observing Pelville.

Her back now looked exceptionally lonely, a stark contrast to her previous cold and sharp appearance. Her cross-shaped pupils now reflected perhaps an unknown sorrow.

Then, she leaned forward slightly and gently placed a bouquet of pale blue flowers, seemingly frozen ice crystals, which she had taken out of her arms at some point in time, in front of the tombstone. She stood there quietly for a long moment, as if engaging in a silent conversation with the deceased beneath the tombstone. A cold wind whimpered through the cemetery, ruffling her silver-gray hair.
