Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Chapter 326 Enemies meet on a narrow road

Yite walked to the front desk calmly and slapped a silver badge on the counter: "Hello, accept the mission."

The receptionist raised his eyes lazily: "New here? Fill out the registration form first..."

Before he finished speaking, a barely perceptible purple light flashed across Yite's fingertips. At the same time, he smiled and said, "Excuse me, we're coming from Sangang Bay. We had some trouble on the way and lost our ID. Could you help me get a replacement?"

The receptionist's eyes were dazed for a moment, then she smiled professionally: "Ah... you are all from Sangangwan... Of course you can apply for a replacement."

She mechanically took out a blank form and asked, "What are your names?"

Yite maintained a perfect smile. "I'm Yiwen, and these are my teammates." He pointed to the three people behind him. "The wind mage Lin, the heavy warrior Tao, and our scout Xiaodao."

Feng Ling almost burst out laughing, while Kuang Dao rolled his eyes and muttered quietly, "Xiao Dao? You bastard!"

The receptionist wrote down, "Three Harbors, huh? I remember there was a tsunami not long ago, and then we encountered foreign enemies at sea."

"You're right. When the tsunami occurred, it was thanks to the 'Flame King' Lord Reihara Akano that everyone was spared. As for the war that broke out afterwards... I'm sorry, we had already left Sangang Bay by then, so we don't know the details." It explained.

"Humph, that makes sense. It was he who caused the tsunami." Kuang Dao grumbled softly, folding his hands.

After hearing this, Feng Ling immediately shushed him, "Shh, keep your voice down. There are so many people here, be careful not to be overheard."

"Is that so? I'm really sorry." The receptionist smiled awkwardly and continued to fill out the form.

At the same time, the people around started talking again when they saw this.

"Did you hear that? They said they were coming from Three Harbors."

"So what? Didn't they say there was a tsunami and war there recently?"

"But they were able to come to Linglang under such circumstances. These guys are not simple people."

……

Everyone was talking at once until the so-called documents were completed. Then the four of them left the platform and came to the task bar under the eyes of the crowd.

It stood there, carefully scanning all the task lists, but found nothing.

"Heh...no."

At this time, Feng Ling folded her arms and jokingly said, "Why, even our 'Captain' has his moments of misstep?"

Hong Tao glanced at the bounty tasks on the task bar and frowned, saying, "These are all low-level tasks. They have nothing to do with what we are looking for."

Hearing this, Yite just smiled lightly: "It doesn't matter, everything must be done step by step."

After saying that, he casually tore off three bounty notices.

"Let's do these three things first." He shook the reward notice.

Kuang Dao took the bounty and took a look at it: "Why are all the items listed for monster hunting? Are you sure we can find what we are looking for?"

And It just hushed softly and pointed gently toward the door.

Kuang Dao sighed angrily, and when he and the others came to the street with It, he asked again.

"Hey, you haven't answered my question yet! We're following your orders and acting with you because we're told to do so by adults, not to babysit!"

Upon hearing this, It didn't respond immediately. He glanced around, and after making sure no one was watching, he slowly spoke, "I understand your concerns, but this is all part of the plan. Although the Fifth Element has appeared, its exact location remains a mystery. Rather than searching aimlessly, it's better to build relationships with them. That way, you can learn some unusual and undiscovered gossip from them."

Upon hearing this, Kuang Dao immediately showed an expression of disbelief: "Huh? Gossip? Are you kidding me, Teyvat? When did our Fallen Angel Troupe fall to the point of listening to gossip?!"

"Precisely because they are rumors in the streets, they are worth referring to. Haven't you heard the saying, 'There is no smoke without fire'? To me, news officially released is sometimes the least valuable for reference." It said with a smile, folding his hands.

At this moment, Feng Ling saw this and shook her head helplessly: "Alas, sometimes we really don't understand you."

"That's right. As the old saying goes, 'War is a game of deception. How can a sparrow understand the ambition of a swan?'" It said in a deliberately teasing tone.

Seeing this, the three of them shook their heads and spread their hands.

Kuang Dao: "This guy is starting to act pretentiously again."

"Okay, anyway, we... eh?" Yite turned around and was about to leave. Suddenly, at this moment, a familiar figure appeared right in front of him, "Hide quickly!"

Yite grabbed the three of them and scurried into the alley. Feng Ling stumbled, nearly dropping the sickle disguised as a staff.

Around the corner, a man in a brown robe slowly approached. His gilded eyes flickered in the sunlight, and the yellow glazed ornaments dangling from his waist swayed gently with his steps. Most striking were the pair of cufflinks with dragon scale patterns, which shone with a discreet yet noble luster in the sunlight.

Seeing this, Yi Te's face suddenly changed: "It turned out to be him, what a narrow road for enemies."

"How do you know each other?" Feng Ling asked.

It laughed bitterly. "Of course, he's the unexpected person who disrupted our plans at Three Harbors. He's also the demon god from the other dimension of Teyva, Morax. I never thought I'd meet him here again after Three Harbors."

"Oh, really? That's really a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road." Kuang Dao said with his hands folded in his arms, thinking for a moment.

At this moment, Hong Tao suddenly pointed at Zhongli and whispered, "Look, there seem to be two people following him."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked closely and saw that Zhongli was accompanied by two women, one of whom had silver hair like frost. She was clad in a plain white robe and barefoot. Tiny specks of light swirled between her sleeves, and with every step she took, the air around her seemed to freeze for a moment.

The other woman was a little girl with silver hair and twin tails. She was wearing a gothic purple dress and was running between the stalls, looking very innocent.

"Who are these two, his wife and daughter?" Kuang Dao said casually.

Yi Te chuckled: "If that's the case, then things will be simple."

"Oh, what do you mean?" Feng Ling asked.

Yi Te smiled and said, "You may not know yet, but the woman in the plain robe is called Gui Zhong. She is also one of the demons from another dimension. I heard that she was the first demon to come to this world after she fell in the Demon War. During the Sangyang Rebellion, Lin Hui was taken care of by her. After the war ended, she retired to the mountains. Unexpectedly, 200 years later, she is still alive and looks as good as ever. Can we say this is the power of a demon?"
