Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Chapter 99: The Palace Backyard

"Okay, then I'll obey your command. However..." Mo Yan nodded and then teased, "Can you dance?"

"Of course, what's so difficult about this? If you don't know how, I can teach you." Karen said proudly.

"Really? Then let me see your dancing skills, young lady." Mo Yan said with a smile.

"Hmph, just wait and see!" Karen said proudly.

The two held hands and walked into the dance line. With the melodious piano music of Dracula, they naturally stepped onto the dance floor and started a beautiful waltz.

Kailin's movements were fluid and graceful, like a dancing swan, and Mo Yan followed closely behind, his steps flowing like lotus flowers, coordinating with her seamlessly. Their dance captivated the audience and became the focal point of the entire banquet...as it should have been.

But the reality is cruel. As soon as Kailin came on the court, she almost fell because of the discomfort in her feet.

At first, Mo Yan thought it was just an ordinary mistake, but as mistakes continued to occur, he realized that this girl couldn't dance at all!

After asking quietly, I found out that she had never danced before, and the reason she thought she could do it was because the dance looked simple and seemed easy to learn? Huh?

No? My dear, you are the biggest clown in the whole place, right?

Mo Yan complained in his heart, but at this moment he had to follow the other party's footsteps and continue this upside-down dance.

Under the gaze of the entire audience, this elegant and moving tango became a joke to them.

At this moment, Tianlang and Xueqi, who were dancing together, came to them with elegant postures. They smiled at them, as if to say: Leave it to me.

Suddenly, Xueqi and Tianlang let go of each other and naturally put their hands on his and Kailin's shoulders. In this way, the four of them exchanged dance partners under the gaze of the audience.

Li Xueqi and Kailin were in a group. She smiled and guided Kailin with a slow and leisurely dance. The two of them quickly mastered the rhythm, one step at a time, two steps following the melody. Their dance moves were graceful and light, and in everyone's eyes they looked like a pair of butterflies spreading their wings and flying high.

On the other hand, in Mo Yan's scene, two grown men holding hands and dancing together looks weird no matter how you look at it.

Following the rhythm of the music, the four of them once again switched partners naturally, and this time, there were no more mistakes. Mo Yan and Kailin danced hand in hand, their eyes meeting in a silent communication, a wonderful chemistry developing between them. As the music reached a climax, their steps quickened. They twirled and leaped gracefully, each movement flawless.

The audiences were deeply attracted, with applause and praises coming one after another. This dance, which might have become a laughing stock, now became the focus of the whole audience with the melody of the two people.

Of course, part of this is due to the efforts of Li Xueqi and Yue Tianlang.

Everyone gradually lost themselves in the dance, and only after the three pieces of music stopped did they finally feel tired. Gradually, the party gradually extended into the evening.

Zixuan and Zhao Heng stood in front of the window and shared the fun of the banquet. At this time, Mo Yan and Kailin, who had just finished going to the toilet, came to them.

"Oh, isn't this our eldest lady? What can I do for you?" Zi Xuan deliberately teased.

"Hey, Xuanxuan, I didn't offend you, right? Why are you talking to me in that tone?" Kailin said with her hands on her hips.

Zi Xuan chuckled and said, "Hehe, it was just a joke, but you guys really stole the show today. After the dance, I heard a lot of people talking about you at the banquet."

"Indeed, everyone is praising your dancing skills now." Zhao Heng agreed.

"Of course, don't you see who I am? It's just dancing, simple!" Karen said proudly with her arms folded, her nose almost poking the sky.

"Come on, if it weren't for Miss Xueqi and Tianlang, you would have become the laughing stock of the whole place by now." Mo Yan complained while standing aside.

"Hey, could you please stop bringing up irrelevant issues?" Kailin put down her hand and looked at Mo Yan with dissatisfaction. "By the way, why don't I see Miss Xueqi?"

She looked around, and then Tianlang appeared from nowhere.

"As for Sister Xueqi, after the dance, she changed into casual clothes and went out."

"Ah? So fast? I haven't had the time to thank her properly." Karen said.

Tianlang put his hands on his hips, smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry about this kind of thing, but if you really want to find her, maybe you can see her in the back garden of the Blood Mausoleum Palace."

"Backyard?" Kailin asked doubtfully, then looked at Mo Yan. "Well, since we don't have anything to do right now, let's just go for a walk."

"Yes, but it's better to change back into casual clothes first." Mo Yan agreed.

Karin nodded, and the two returned to the fitting room, changed back into their original clothes, and then left the church.

……

It was very deserted outside the Blood Tomb Palace. There was no one around and the gate was locked.

The two looked around and searched carefully, but did not see any useful clues.

"Hey, Tianlang said that Miss Xueqi should be in the backyard, right?" Kailin asked.

"Yes, that's true." Mo Yan nodded and replied.

"But there doesn't seem to be any other way here?"

"That shouldn't be the case. Let's look more carefully. Maybe there is something we have overlooked." Mo Yan said.

He walked along the edge of the castle courtyard to the back of the castle, but there was a stone wall and nothing behind it.

This is really strange. Tianlang clearly said there was a road behind the castle. Could it be that I misunderstood? This shouldn't be the case.

Confused, he tried to touch the wall, thinking he could find a mechanism, but he was wrong. The wall was solid and there was nothing special about it.

Just when he was about to give up the search and turn his eyes elsewhere, he discovered that one part of the wall was crooked. After pushing it gently, he found that it was actually a door that could swing left and right.

"There's something wrong with Kailin." he shouted.

After a while, Kailin came running in after hearing the noise. The two of them gently turned the door, and when they passed through the wall, the scene before them made them immediately covetous.

Stone tablets of all sizes were arranged neatly, along with flowers and fruits. That's right, the backyard of the so-called Blood Tomb Palace of Tianlang turned out to be such a huge cemetery.

"Am I seeing things? This is the backyard that Tianlang mentioned?" Kailin asked in surprise.

Mo Yan didn't say anything. He looked around and finally saw Li Xueqi's figure high up in the cemetery.

They walked up the stairs with light steps, fearing that any action would scare the people here. It was not until they came to Li Xueqi that they dared to ask in a low voice.

"Are you here?" Li Xueqi asked, turning her head slightly while standing in front of a tombstone.

"Well, Miss Xueqi, the party isn't over yet. What are you doing here?" Karen asked.

Li Xueqi turned around, folded her arms, smiled, and said, "Because this is our home."

"what?"
