Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 316 Lan: Hello

Jing Yuan gave Yan Qing a task: to go to the Industrial Construction Department and negotiate with the company.

Oh, it's that company team whose goods were seized; they're still arguing about it.

Yunzhi has already summoned Sand Gold. Although it may not be from the same department, Sand Gold's level is undoubtedly higher than those guys, so there's no need to worry.

After Yanqing and the others left...

Jingyuan and Huaiyan then got down to business.

"It is an honor for Luofu to have your presence at the martial arts ceremony... However, for a mere martial arts ceremony to require the presence of two celestial generals, Zhu Ming and Yao Qing, I'm afraid it's not just for the ceremony itself."

Now that the children have left, it's time for the adults to have a proper discussion about serious matters.

They will protect the children both openly and secretly, hoping they won't be exposed to the dark side so soon.

Huai Yan seemed to sigh, but his eyes were full of worry:

"Jingyuan, you're overthinking it. As I've said before, my purpose in coming here this time is simply to broaden the children's horizons. I have no intention of commenting on the current state of Luofu."

Huai Yan is quite old; what hasn't he seen? In Huai Yan's view, the concerns of the alliance's higher-ups are like a bunch of parasites worrying about whether a sturdy house will collapse—utterly absurd.

"But what General Yaoqing plans is not something I can say for sure."

Yao Qing's Heavenly Strike General?

Yaoqing is Lan's hometown, so Lan naturally pays attention to General Tianji.

Zhu Yuan sounded a little nervous, but Tian Ji was a straightforward person, so Lan felt there was no need to worry at all.

After all, even if the marshal himself gave the order, the punishment would only be a formality.

"Do you remember? When you first took office, I told you that the battlefield for the Emperor Bow Heavenly General was not only outside the Immortal Ship, but also involved in frontline battles and internal negotiations... The weight carried by the title of General is far greater than its literal meaning."

Huaiyan said earnestly, "You have done very well all these years, but for the people of the Immortal Ship, living too long is a curse. It means that every mistake you make in your life will be lurking in the shadows, waiting to catch up with you and devour you one day."

How can anyone not make mistakes?

However, every mistake made by someone in a high position could become a handle for others to use against them in the future.

This has been a common occurrence for thousands of years.

"The Marshal is fully aware of everything that happened in Luofu, and Yao Qing's Heavenly Strike General came because of you."

Huaiyan was indeed somewhat worried.

General Tianji is young, but she is ultimately carrying the mission of a marshal and the accusations of a large group of elders. Even if she trusts Jingyuan, she still has to go through the proper procedures.

If Shence can't hold out, then Luofu will be in big trouble.

Jing Yuan also had a headache. He raised his hand and tidied his fluffy white hair.

"I understand, Elder Yan, there's no need to worry..."

Jingyuan prepared to put his hand down.

Suddenly, he froze.

General Zhuyuan silently looked up at the puppet that had appeared in Jingyuan's hand at some unknown time.

A familiar-looking doll hung in Jingyuan's hand, and stared at the two of them.

His golden eyes were filled with the vicissitudes of time.

^ _ ^

Jingyuan:? ? ?

Huaiyan: ? ? ?

!

Without being stunned for long, Jingyuan consciously put the doll back into his hair.

When I put my hand down, the doll disappeared.

Jingyuan and Huaiyan looked at each other in bewilderment.

For a moment, the silence in the air was suffocating.

Jingyuan: I thought it was a little sparrow in my hair, and I was wondering when it got a little heavier.

Huaiyan: Although I only saw it during the last live stream, this image is definitely Emperor Bow Siming, right?

Is that the Emperor Bow Master?

That's definitely right.

That is indeed the Emperor Bow Master's destiny, right?

Wasn't it officially announced not long ago? If Emperor Bow Master is personally attending, then the Soaring Wind White Feather True Lord...

They probably are.

They weren't together?

In a split second, both generals were in a state of confusion, but fortunately, being in high positions, they quickly came to their senses.

"But that's strange, why hasn't she arrived yet? Everyone says that Yao Qing's Heavenly Strike General is always swift and decisive, taking the initiative. Being this late today is not like her at all."

Huaiyan's tone suddenly softened as if he had heard someone coming from outside.

Jingyuan also looked outside.

"General Huaiyan, you are mistaken. My men arrived early this morning."

A fox-man with squinting eyes and a young man in a cloak walked in. It was the fox-man who spoke:

"I've only heard that the two of you want to graduate; I imagine she's an unrestrained person."

The cloaked youth continued, "She disappeared as soon as she got off the starship, saying she had something to do, and we couldn't stop her."

The fox-man youth on the side twitched his nose.

It seemed they had sensed something unusual.

Jing Yuan smiled and said, "I presume you two are the envoys of the Immortal Ship Yao Qing."

He was smiling, but there was no smile in his eyes.

The fox-man youth introduced himself with a smile: "Jiaoqiu and Moze, staff members under General Tianji, pay their respects to the two Heavenly Generals."

If Lan is outside, they still have to pay their respects to a Master of Fate.

But Lan doesn't go out.

The two generals were also unsure of Lan's intentions.

To be honest, it's good to have more experience; you shouldn't be so surprised just because you see a wisp of smoke.

Huaiyan chuckled: "Interesting. A guest arrives, but instead of coming directly to see the host, she sends someone to deliver a message. What's going on here? Tell me, what could be more important to her than coming here?"

Instead of hurrying up and going through the motions at Shence, they've gone off to slack off?

Lan has already learned to translate on her own.

Jiaoqiu said politely, "I have heard that a strange and magnificent sight has recently appeared in Lin Yuan Realm above Luofu Mountain. I suppose he has gone to admire the scenery."

That's right, the Jianmu tree is gone, replaced by a light arrow that has turned into a giant rock, standing arrogantly in the Lin Yuan Realm.

In his anger, Yunzhi smashed many Vidyadhara eggs, causing many Vidyadharas to pass away.

Most of them are indeed quite innocent, but there's nothing we can do. There are just some shameless people who want to drag them down.

Just accept your bad luck.

Huaiyan laughed heartily: "What a strange sight, Jingyuan, this kid is making sarcastic remarks about you."

"General Huaiyan, you flatter me. I was merely relaying the facts. My general, considering it inappropriate to keep you both waiting, sent us two first..."

"She will visit in person after she finishes sightseeing."

--Yeah?

Lan sighed inwardly.

Even if it's just a formality, why make it so tense at the beginning... I don't know what these three generals are thinking.

To be honest, Zhu Yuan's words weren't unexpected.

A few days ago, because of the Yalilo-IV incident, Yun Zhicai asked Zhu Ming to send people over. Later, due to a premonition, he also asked Zhu Ming to send people to support Luofu.

The weapons recently forged by Zhu Ming are to be supplied to Luofu first.

Alas, the Immortal Boat Alliance has suffered so many misfortunes.
