Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Chapter 375 Thunder, anger

"What? Is it not possible?" Li Xueyan folded her arms.

Her tone was calm, but it left Kailin speechless for a moment.

Suddenly, a flash of red lightning flashed outside the window. As the chains outside the house were struck by lightning, ripples suddenly appeared on the floor, spreading along the ground beneath everyone's feet. In an instant, all the dirt on the ground was cleared away.

"How could such a thing happen?" Zhao Heng said in shock.

"It has no scientific basis at all!" Zixuan also agreed.

Mo Yan, on the other hand, looked on coldly and grumbled, "We've been here for so long, and there's still scientific evidence?"

At this moment, Li Xueyan explained, "As you can see, due to the constant thunderstorms here, the Scarlet Sky Palace doesn't need servants at all."

Tianlang on the side smiled helplessly: "That's true, but there's one more thing. This place was once an ancient relic thousands of years ago. It's only because treasure thieves triggered the seal here, and the seal was broken, that we have the current scene."

"Ancient ruins? Could it be that this castle has been renovated?" Karin asked.

"That's right. It is precisely because there is an old mechanism hidden here that Xueyan has always been unwilling to let others enter her territory." Tianlang said with a smile.

"So that's how it is. No wonder Miss Xueyan would personally lead the way for us." Zhao Heng nodded and said.

At this moment, Li Xueyan folded her arms and snorted coldly, "Don't get me wrong, I just heard you wanted to see me, and since I just dealt with the rebels in the city not long ago, that's why I agreed to let you in." She lowered her hands and subconsciously looked at Tianlang, "However, there is one thing I want to confirm."

Hearing this, Tianlang's hair stood on end, as if he sensed some murderous intent.

"Really? But I don't know what you want to confirm, Xueyan?" he asked with a smile.

"I've heard about Xuan Yue's aphrodisiac syndrome. I also have some understanding of what you've seen and heard along the way. What I just want to know now is, Tianlang, is it true that your contract hasn't been resolved yet?"

Tianlang was stunned, and the smile seemed to be frozen on his face, but Li Xueyan's action in the next second was indeed something no one could have expected.

"I heard that you overused elemental power to cure your aphrodisiac syndrome, causing your contract to become abnormal. I can't sense any elemental power from you, but after so long, is it true that your strength hasn't recovered at all?"

Tianlang scratched his head: "Even so, it seems to be true..."

Before he could finish his words, a red lightning suddenly flew in front of him. Everything happened in a flash. When Tianlang reacted again, he was already sitting on the ground, and Li Xueyan's spear was now flying with lightning and pointing directly at his throat.

The tip of the gun suddenly stopped three inches away from the throat. Under the lightning, Tianlang's pupils dilated and he still had a frightened expression. It was obvious that he was frightened by the other party's actions.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Karen was startled.

Li Xueyan did not answer immediately, but looked at the frightened Tianlang who fell to the ground thoughtfully.

"This fear...isn't it him?"

At this time, she slowly retracted the gun, and the red gun in her hand turned into a tiny lightning and dissipated in an instant.

"It's nothing, just a greeting. You're scared to the ground by this level. Fortunately, you are the guardian who existed before me." She exclaimed, then lifted her hair and threw it back nonchalantly, then turned around again.

"Then your 'greeting' is really unique..." Tianlang smiled helplessly, still sitting on the ground, obviously not recovered from the shock just now.

Mo Yan quickly stepped forward to help Tianlang up and whispered, "Are you okay?"

"Your friend has a really unique personality." Kailin showed some helplessness and forced a smile.

Tianlang shook his head, smiled bitterly, and patted the dust off his clothes. "Who said it wasn't true? But it's normal for us guards to have some small fights. But just like that last time, if I hadn't stopped in the middle, I'm afraid I would have had to report to Hu Xiaotao."

(In the Netherworld, Yama's Palace, Hu Xiaotao: "Hurry up, don't waste time!")

Zhao Heng stood aside and said, "But judging from the look in her eyes just now, she does have a lot of hostility towards you."

"So what happened? How did you offend her?" Zi Xuan asked.

Upon hearing this, Tianlang spread his hands, with an expression that clearly said, "I don't know~".

At this time, Li Xueyan had already opened one of the doors.

"Okay, don't you have something to talk to me about? Hurry up."

The sharp words instantly brought everyone back to their senses. After responding, the four of them supported Tianlang and followed him into the guest room.

Pushing open the gilded embossed door, what comes into view is a standard aristocratic reception room.

Crystal chandeliers, Persian carpets, gilded tea sets: everything was pristine and new, a stark contrast to the scene outside.

Several people exclaimed and then sat down on the soft chairs.

"It's completely different here than outside." Karen exclaimed.

"I didn't expect there are normal facilities here." Mo Yan subconsciously complained when thinking about what he had seen before.

Tianlang folded his arms: "Of course, after all, it is used to receive distinguished guests, so of course we can't be careless."

Hearing this, Kailin watched coldly and found that the boy no longer had the fear on his face, but instead looked a little proud.

"Come on, you talk like you helped build it." She folded her arms.

"Of course not. This was indeed done by Sister Xueqi and I together." Tianlang nodded.

Seeing this, Kailin showed an expression of disbelief: "No way?"

At this time, Li Xueyan walked to the table with a cup of brewed tea. "He's right. Many places here were set up by him and my sister. I didn't expect that besides daily gatherings with other guardians, there would be other uses for them."

After saying that, she sat back in her seat and drank a sip of tea.

Everyone looked at each other in surprise. They hadn't expected this swift and decisive Lord Lei Zun to personally pour tea for them. The aroma of tea filled the room, carrying a hint of the refreshing element of thunder.

Li Xueyan put down her teacup and glanced at everyone. "First of all, I want to thank you for being willing to sacrifice your reputation and lure out the rebels in the city. Ye Lan told me everything, and for this plan, I really did wrong you."

She paused her gaze on Kailin and Mo Yan.

"It's okay. We're very happy to help everyone." Kailin waved her hand and smiled.

Hearing this, she nodded and continued, "Secondly, I already know your purpose. I also know the conditions that Yingba and Lei Zun have offered you."

"So, you are willing to lend us the guardian certificate?" Hearing this, Kailin immediately showed some joy. However, before she could be happy, Li Xueyan's reply was like pouring cold water on her.

"I'm sorry, but I can't agree to that." She shook her head.
