From the Queen's Descends, Collapse Douluo

Chapter 268 Familiar Name

"General, I'm back!"

The gates of the Shence Mansion opened, and Yan Qing, dressed in military attire and carrying a long sword, walked in.

Upon hearing his voice, the general, who had been keeping his eyes closed, immediately opened them, stood up from his chair, and couldn't hide the satisfaction in his eyes. But he still chuckled and scolded, "Half a year has passed, and I thought you were enjoying yourself in the Sun and Moon Paradise, completely forgetting about Luofu..."

Yanqing smiled and leaned closer: "How could that be? Luofu has always been Yanqing's home. Yanqing is also your valiant guard. Now that Luofu is in trouble, how could I not return?"

Jing Yuan smiled slightly, patted Yan Qing on the shoulder, and gestured for him to sit down: "It seems you've learned a lot from General Yun Jue. Right now, Luo Fu is short of manpower, but since you're back, I have some tasks to assign you."

"At the general's command, I, Yanqing, will immediately relieve your worries!" Yanqing clasped his hands in salute, then his expression became solemn: "Oh, by the way, general. When I returned, I also encountered an unnamed guest and a very strange merchant from outer space."

"A new nameless guest and a strange extraterrestrial merchant?"

Jing Yuan frowned slightly: "Tell me, what kind of person is he?"

"Yes, that nameless traveler is named Dan Heng, and that merchant from beyond the heavens calls himself a Rakshasa, they..."

Tianbosi.

"I don't need to go to catch Kafka, do I?" Gu Youyue crossed her arms and looked at March 7 with some curiosity.

March 7th seemed to want to plead: "Hey, look, aren't you also from the Immortal Ship? Even if you're not from Luofu, isn't it only right to lend a helping hand to your comrades?"

Gu Youyue rolled her eyes: "Little girl, do you think your train crew isn't confident they can catch that Star Core Hunter?"

"Uh," March 7th scratched his head awkwardly, "Mainly... Uncle Yang said you're very capable."

Upon hearing this, Gu Youyue glanced at Walter at the door, a half-smile on her face: "In the [Fate], I shouldn't be involved in this pursuit, besides... your train crew's [Fate] has already been foreseen."

"Ah...ah?" The silly little March was a bit confused. Gu Youyue's riddle was still too advanced for her.

"I didn't understand either, but I was deeply moved." The Trail Blazers star scratched his head blankly.

The Valkyrie, the embodiment of the Beast of Destiny, did not answer their questions. She picked up the Black Abyss White Flower and walked away.

A fox spirit at the front desk of the Tianbo Bureau stood up and called out to her, "Please wait for Youyue Yunqi. There is a message from Yuzhao that I just sent to you."

Gu Youyue stopped in her tracks, turned around, took out the jade tablet to receive it, glanced at its contents, and subconsciously blurted out, "Your Excellency the Bishop..."

Walter at the door: ? ? !
"Wait! Gu Youyue, who did you say?!" Uncle Yang rushed forward, grabbing her shoulders in a somewhat irrational manner: "Which bishop?!"

Walter's voice caused a stir in the hall, and March and Star didn't understand why Uncle Yang suddenly became so agitated.

Gu Youyue was slightly taken aback, then twisted her shoulder and shook off Walter's hand. "Nameless guest, please calm down."

Of course she knew, because Huo Yuhao had seen this person in the Paradise of the Past World created by Lu Xueling... Mr. Yang, who had a blood feud with a certain "bishop".

"The person I'm referring to is naturally the one I'm loyal to. He has many titles, but I prefer to call him 'Bishop,' that's all."

Walter lowered his raised hand, his expression complex. He knew, of course, that he had acted impulsively, but he simply couldn't suppress his emotions.

"Do you know a blond guy named Ray...?"

Before she could finish speaking, Gu Youyue disappeared from the sight of the nameless guests. Walter wanted to say something but ultimately couldn't bring himself to speak. Xing shrugged: "Since things have come to this, let's go catch Mom...Kafka first."

The nameless guests left the Tianbo Company, where Tingyun was already waiting at the entrance.

She sighed with a hint of helplessness: "Alas... Lord Yu Kong has assigned me the reception task again. It seems that I have quite a connection with all of you benefactors."

"Thank you for your trouble, Miss Tingyun," Walter said politely, albeit perfunctorily.

"No trouble at all, Lord Yukong has already arranged resting places for everyone. Let's go and sit down first." Tingyun smiled and pointed to the guest rooms not far away.

"Call me when we're about to set off... Oh right, Lord Yu Kong instructed that if you come across any items or food you like during this time, just tell the owner to put it on the Tianbo Company's register."

“…Miss Tingyun, are there any leads regarding Kafka?” Walter interrupted her.

"Yes, there are. Although the suspect is very cunning, the Tabuan still managed to find some clues."

As he spoke, Tingyun summoned the projector, which displayed Kafka's communications on the Star Train.

On March 7th, after looking left and right, she finally gave up thinking and asked, "Is there... anything special about this?"

Tingyun was not surprised by March 7's response and explained, "Behind the words, there was the sound of mechanical devices."

"But isn't the Immortal Ship full of mechanical devices? What else can that prove besides confirming that Kafka is still on the Immortal Ship?"

“For most people, this noise is indeed useless.” Tingyun nodded and then changed the subject, “But it’s a different story for the Construction Department, which is in charge of these facilities. The general summoned craftsmen to identify it, and finally determined that this Star Core Hunter was probably near the Starport.”

“Hmm…” Star Core Spirit pondered.

"Alright, alright~" Tingyun clapped her hands to interrupt their thoughts. "This young lady will take her leave now. My benefactors, please rest for a while, and we will set off soon."

After half a second of thought, Walter finally decided to ask one last question: "Miss Tingyun, I've heard that you come from a business background... I suppose you've been to other Immortal Ships in the Alliance?"

"Yes, I've been to a few."

Walter clenched his fist, hidden beneath his sleeve. "Then... do you know anything about that Sun and Moon Immortal Ship, who came from the Youyue Cloud Riders?"

Sun and Moon Immortal Boat?

After pondering for a long time, Huanlong finally spoke: "I went once, about two star calendar years ago. But after all, I'm just a ferryman, I don't have much contact with the important figures on the various immortal ships~"

Walter pressed on, "At least, you know the name of the general of this new fairy ship, don't you?"

“Hmm…I know.” Huanlong nodded hesitantly, a hint of apprehension in his eyes. “The eighth Heavenly General of the Imperial Bow, the Fallen General, Lu Xueling.”

“Lu Xueling…?” Walter murmured the name, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

Seeing Uncle Yang's expression, March 7th couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Yang, don't tell us you know this General Yunjue!"

“Hmm…” Walter took a deep breath and shook his head: “To be honest, this name… sounds familiar, but I just can’t remember who it is…”
