-----------------
"Ms. Tingyun, are you saying that it is the people who are speeding, not the Xingcha?"
"Well, when we were setting off, we happened to encounter a problem with the engine failure of the Star Chariot. Fortunately, a passenger took action at the critical moment and sent us to the Star Chariot Sea safely. Otherwise, my life might not be saved."
"Is that so? That's really thrilling..."
After listening to Tingyun's explanation, the navigation officer who came to investigate the speeding incident of Xingcha didn't know how to punish him for a moment, so he had to put away the ticket in his hand and left in disappointment.
After all, the speeding accident was caused by a problem with the Star Chariot's engine. Logically, it should be the responsibility of the Tianbosi. It was their failure to do a good job of maintenance, which allowed the criminals an opportunity to take advantage. The self-rescue actions taken by the passengers when they encountered the crisis were completely in line with the provisions of the Xianzhou law.
"call……"
When all the inspectors from the Tianbosi had left, Tingyun couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. Looking at the silver-haired girl not far away with an expression that said "I know nothing.jpg", she couldn't help but complain in a low voice:
"My benefactor, you were really too reckless just now. There are clear regulations for the steering of the Star Raft, and you must not exceed a certain speed. But you exceeded the speed limit by more than three times, and you almost caused me to lose my salary for this month."
Unlike the flattery and courtesy before, this sentence was completely sincere from Tingyun's perspective. If she hadn't relied on her clever tongue to successfully shift the responsibility elsewhere, her already meager salary might have been deducted because of the speeding just now.
"There's nothing we can do about it."
Yilu spread her hands, indicating that she had to do it.
She still remembered what Uncle Yang had said before, that she should try her best to avoid exposing the Snow Firefly Armor in front of others.
However, this time, in order to prevent everyone from encountering a plane crash, she had to send the Star Raft to the Star Raft Sea.
In order to avoid being photographed, Yilu had no choice but to speed up and make herself visible to passers-by for a short enough time. This was the best solution she could think of.
"Anyway, this place is safe now."
After scanning the faces of everyone on the train, Tingyun turned the topic back to business:
"I should have taken you all to visit the beautiful places in Xingcha Sea, so that I could fulfill my role as a host. However, this is an extraordinary period, so we should first go to Sichen Palace and inform Lord Yukong of your purpose of coming."
……
Soon, the group arrived in front of the Sichen Palace.
While Tingyun went in to report to Yukong, the people in the train crew began to discuss the accident that had just happened on the Star Chariot.
"The Starship's engine malfunctioned. Is it really such a coincidence?"
Walter pushed the frame of his glasses and expressed his opinion: "The identity of the person who opened the Jade Realm Gate for us is still unknown, and Miss Tingyun's attitude towards us is ambiguous. I think this matter may be suspicious."
"Could someone be framing us?" March 7th guessed.
"It's unlikely. This method is a bit too low-level."
Walter denied it, "If Yilu hadn't been so impatient and had acted later, I would have used gravity to make the Star Raft float in the air. If it was coming for us, this preparation alone would not be enough."
"Maybe, it was just an accident?"
“We can’t rule out this possibility.”
"Um……"
Listening to everyone's conversation, Yilu hesitated for a moment, but finally swallowed back what she wanted to say.
She placed her hand on her chest, feeling her pounding heart, and was lost in thought.
The wooden ring containing the power of "abundance" seemed to have stopped rotating the moment she boarded the Star Raft. After that, she felt a vitality flowing into her body, filling an unspeakable void.
She didn't know whether this was a coincidence or... well, if possible, she didn't want to have anything to do with "Feng Rao", especially not in Xianzhou.
"Sorry for the wait. Lord Yukong is waiting for you all in Sichen Palace. I have already reported your situation to Lord Yukong. I will not go in~"
Not long after, Tingyun returned to the crowd with Yukong's command. Her pretty face was full of smiles, and anyone could see that she was very happy.
Everyone in the train crew looked at each other, and then, under the leadership of the Yunqi Army, they entered the Sichen Palace and came to a high-tech cyan-gold hall.
"Hello, guests of the Star Train."
They were greeted by a fox woman with green hair, who was the helmsman of Tianbosi, Yukong.
"Tingyun has already informed me of your purpose. Originally, my duties did not include meeting with passengers, but for some reasons, I have to meet with you and decline your invitation in person."
"Alas, it's the same thing again. It was the same thing last time at Yalilo-VI."
This familiar scene reminded everyone in the train crew of their experience at Klipperburg, where Cocolia, the holder of the "Star Core", had said the same thing.
Although this fox woman named Yukong most likely had nothing to do with the star core, her answer must have been discussed and decided by the top leaders of the Xianzhou - that is to say, the top leaders of the Xianzhou seemed unwilling to let the Starry Sky Train intervene in this matter.
In that case, they can just leave.
"No, you can't leave now."
Seeing that Yilu and the others were planning to leave, Yukong suddenly called out to everyone and said in a serious tone:
"It has only been a few days since the Star Core was discovered on the Immortal Boat. The Star Sea has been completely closed and no one has left. How can you predict the future? How can you be sure that all this is related to the Star Core?"
"I just checked the entry and exit records of Xingcha Sea. Not long ago, someone hacked into the system, opened the Jade Realm Gate, and guided a ship into the port. That ship was you - the Starry Sky Train."
"That hacker even deliberately left a stamp, as if to provoke you - Silver Wolf, a member of the Star Core Hunters. It's hard not to doubt the relationship between you two, especially since there's another one of you..."
"Zi-"
At this moment, accompanied by an inaudible sound of electric current, a faint blue projection appeared out of thin air in the hall of Tianbosi, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
"Haha, Yukong, don't be so fierce. If this gets out, won't the Galaxy laugh at the Immortal Boat Alliance for not knowing how to entertain guests?"
The visitor was righteous and heroic, and was none other than General Jing Yuan, the divine general of the immortal ship "Luofu".
Although he had a nonchalant smile on his face and looked non-hostile and easy to talk to, he gave everyone the feeling of a sleeping lion who would strike the enemy with a thunderous blow once he woke up.
With Jing Yuan joining in, he and Yu Kong began to play the good cop and the bad cop respectively. In just a few minutes, they tied the Starry Sky Train to the common interests of the immortal boat "Luofu" and left the opportunity to "prove their position" to everyone:
"Just a few days ago, we captured a star core hunter named "Blade" who had trespassed into the important area of the Immortal Ship."
"During the interrogation, the intelligence and deduction department of the Xianzhou successfully intercepted the communication sent by his companion Kafka who was hiding on the Xianzhou. As for the recipient of the communication..."
"In short, I believe that you will not go along with the Star Core Hunters, but it takes time to quell the disaster, and we need to invest the main force of the Cloud Cavalry Army to succeed. Now that Kafka is hiding on the Immortal Boat, she is a disaster after all, and we must guard against her."
"Since it was the Star Core Hunter who lured you to Luofu, you and I can just go with the flow. As a general, I will grant you the authority to act as you see fit in the Immortal Boat. Lure out Kafka, whose whereabouts are unknown, and capture her in one fell swoop. This will also clear you of suspicion. What do you think, everyone in the train group?"
Hearing Jing Yuan's impeccable wording, Walter couldn't help but fall into deep thought. The people in the train crew discussed for a while and finally agreed to Jing Yuan's proposal to stay on the fairy boat for a few more days to lure out the star core hunter hiding behind the scenes.
Then, Jing Yuan approached Yi Lu who was about to leave Sichen Palace and said, "Miss Wumingke, please slow down. I have something important to discuss with you."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Yilu stopped and turned to look at the wise and resourceful General Shen Ce.
"Is this photo of you?" Jingyuan took out Sam's wanted poster.
"this is not me."
Ilu shook his head.
"I don't think he's you either."
Jing Yuan put away the wanted order, changed his serious expression, and said with a smile:
"Not long ago, the Taipu Division intercepted several long-distance communications. Based on the content of the messages and the speeding photos taken by the Tianbo Division, they determined that you are "Sam", an accomplice of the Star Core Hunter hiding on the Immortal Boat. I said how could this be possible? You two obviously look different."
Yilu: “…”
Sure enough, it is very difficult to hide your identity under the eyes of the people in Xianzhou.
"Gramer Iron Cavalry, it's really a very old name. Even a small fairy boat general like me has heard of that sky battle line..."
After exchanging a few polite words with Yilu, Jing Yuan suddenly changed the subject and got to the point: "But that huge empire has long since disappeared. I am curious about how you have resisted the erosion of time and still remained sane?"
After hearing his question, Yilu finally understood that Jingyuan was looking for a cure for the Demonic Yin Body. If they could remain sane after the power of "Abundance" got out of control, then the Demonic Yin Body would no longer be a nightmare for the people of Xianzhou.
After thinking for a while, she decided to be honest and tell Jing Yuan the truth, just like she told Kafka the method to cure entropy before:
"Fight the Breeding Order."
"what?"
Even though this General Shen Ce was well-informed and well-planned, he had never expected that the silver-haired girl in front of him would give such an incredible answer. It seemed that she had her own unique way to fight against the side effects of immortality. In this case...
Thinking of this, Jing Yuan changed the subject again: "Yilu, what do you think of "abundance"? "
"Abundance?"
Yilu shook her head: "I am not familiar with Him."
Although she hated death and wanted to live longer, she had no intention of seeking help from a pharmacist, lest she suddenly woke up one day and turned into a rich evil creature that everyone wanted to beat up.
"You should have heard that the people of the Immortal Boat enjoy an infinite life span and are free from the sufferings of aging, illness, and death. This is a blessing bestowed by Abundance..."
Jing Yuan took out another photo, which showed the demonic soldier that everyone had encountered before. He showed the details of the soldier to the silver-haired girl in front of him, and then continued:
“But this blessing is also a curse for the people of the Immortal Boat. If one’s life span exceeds the natural limit, the body will undergo many magical changes, fall into the devil’s shadow, and turn into a rich evil creature.”
"Your Excellency seems to be unaffected by abundance, which is a physique that many people in Xianzhou envy. I would like to entrust you to investigate the Abundant Force hidden in Xianzhou in my personal capacity to see what they want to do in Xianzhou during the Star Core Rebellion. I will reward you handsomely afterwards. What do you think?"
Oh?
Yilu supported his chin with one hand and lowered his head into deep thought.
It came out that Jing Yuan wanted her to investigate the group of Fengcuo believers who kept shouting "Medicine King's Mercy" all day long. This is an extremely dangerous job for the people of Xianzhou. Once they are infected with the blessing of abundance, they may turn from undercover agents into real Fengcuo believers. This task can only be given to outsiders who are not from Xianzhou.
At present, the only external force that stands on the side of Xianzhou is the Starry Sky Train.
Jing Yuan handed this matter over to her, which not only proved Xianzhou's trust in the train, but also was a strategy of driving the tiger to devour the wolf. He let the Starry Sky Train solve the two major troubles of the Star Core Hunters and the Abundant Forces for Xianzhou at the same time. They only need to concentrate on dealing with the problems brought by the star cores. It can only be said that he is worthy of it.
Thinking of this, Yilu quickly gave her answer: "I have no opinion."
Although she didn't know what the Taibu Si saw through divination that made them trust her so much, since Jing Yuan had respectfully entrusted her to investigate the secret information of the King of Medicine, she would certainly not miss the opportunity to establish a good relationship with Xian Zhou.
What's more, there will be a generous reward from the Xianzhou side afterwards.
According to the contractual spirit of the Xianzhou people, since they have made a promise, it is basically impossible for them to go back on their word.
"That's good. This is my beacon address. We can use it to exchange information... Also, this is the beacon address of Fu Xuan, the person in charge of the Taibu Division. You can also add her as a friend. If you have any questions, you can ask her first. Fu Qing can answer most of your questions."
After getting the friends of Jing Yuan and Fu Xuan, Yi Lu left Si Chen Palace with the commission to investigate the secret of Medicine King and joined the train crew who were waiting outside.
"Yilu, what did the general of the Immortal Boat say to you?" March Seven blinked curiously.
"Is such that--"
Hearing this, Yilu recounted to everyone the general content of her conversation with Jing Yuan. After learning that Yilu had actually received a private commission from General Xianzhou, everyone present opened their eyes wide in surprise.
"I didn't expect Yilu's identity to be recognized so quickly..."
"Investigate the "Abundant" forces hidden inside the Immortal Boat. Could it be that the current star core crisis was caused by those "Abundant" believers?"
"We don't rule out this possibility, but our primary goal right now is to find Kafka. This is the prerequisite for the Star Train to stay in the Immortal Boat and participate in this "Star Core" event."
Walter pushed the frame of his glasses, looked at the fox girl who was waving at them not far away, and said, “Miss Tingyun has arranged a place for us to stay. Let’s go and take a look first.”
……
"In other words, we have to split into two groups now. The three of us and Miss Tingyun will go together to investigate Kafka's whereabouts, while Yilu will go to the territory of the "Abundance" believers alone?" Xing asked curiously.
"The current division is like this. As expected of a man known as the Godly General, General Jing Yuan seems to know all our intelligence."
At this point, Walter sincerely praised: "Not only did he choose Ilu, who is the best at infiltration among us, to deal with the most difficult "Abundance" force, but he also predicted that our next action will be successful. I have only seen this kind of confidence on another man's face in the past."
"It feels like he treats everything as a chessboard and we are just chess pieces..."
After learning that Shi Jingyuan was not speaking well for them in the Sichen Palace not long ago, but was cooperating with Yukong to play the good cop and the bad cop, Sanyueqi, who was originally eager to cause trouble for the Star Core Hunter, suddenly became depressed: "I thought he was a good guy who just wanted to help us."
"It's not that serious. Even if we were to deal with the problem of the Immortal Boat ourselves, we would start with Kafka and the "Abundance" forces."
Seeing that San Yue Qi looked like she was facing a formidable enemy, Yi Lu took the initiative to explain for her:
"General Jing Yuan has only established cooperation with us in another form. He has given us a legitimate reason to interfere in the internal affairs of the Xianzhou "Luofu" while guaranteeing the absolute position that outsiders are not allowed to interfere. He has also given us a lot of key information, and we have the right to leave the Xianzhou at any time."
"Ilu is right. The general's intentions and actions are good, and they are fundamentally different from Cocolia."
Walter nodded in deep agreement: "As a general of Xianzhou, he has to consider not only us, but also listen to the voices from within. He said before that Taibusi didn't trust us. I guess he kept us in Xianzhou under pressure."
"Um, Miss Tingyun just sent me a message..."
Looking at the message from Tingyun on his phone, Xing raised his hand and suggested, "How about we set off now?"
"Well, it's getting late. Let's go meet up with her."
After saying that, Walter looked at the silver-haired girl who was about to get up and leave:
"Yilu, you must be careful over there too. The danger hidden on this fairy boat is not just "Fengcai". I suspect that the star core hunter named "Blade" has also escaped the control of the fairy boat. If you encounter him, it is best not to entangle with him."
