Jing Yuan himself led Bai Yan out of Si Chen Palace, personally guiding the way to Shence Mansion.

After Jing Yuan dismissed everyone else, only he and Bai Yan remained in the Shence Mansion. The two sat facing each other.

Although the rigorous scholars of Xianzhou have not yet established a respectful title for [life], the actions alone, and the act of sending his compatriots back to their homeland, already showed the Luofu General deep respect for this deity.

Jing Yuan, abandoning his usual lazy expression, smiled and said, "I've also had many doubts lately, suspecting that someone has infiltrated the Immortal Ship. Now, the enemy lurking in the shadows has been exposed. On behalf of Luo Fu, I would like to express my gratitude to you."

Bai Yan shook his head slightly: "The communication between intelligent beings is rarely pure. I was just doing something along the way while writing my own life and searching for what I was looking for."

Jing Yuan poured Bai Yan a cup of tea and presented it to him with both hands: "A mediocre person's handiwork is merely giving a beggar a penny of food; but you, with a simple gesture, can bring clarity to the world."

Bai Yan accepted the tea with both hands: "General, you don't often use such flattering methods, but they are certainly not bad."

Offering tea with both hands is a sign of respect, and receiving tea with both hands is a sign of courtesy.

He possesses immense strength, yet he is never arrogant in his interactions with others.

Jingyuan naturally noticed this detail as well: "Flattery is only given to those who do not deserve it; this is my way of showing respect and gratitude to you."

He gradually came to understand why the other party's son, Wenming, was so fanatical about him.

Unlike the connection between perception and the Emperor's Bow and Fate, being with this deity, coupled with that affinity, easily makes one feel as if bathed in a spring breeze.

Chapter 103 If Tingyun uproots the Jianmu tree

Bai Yan took a sip of the tea from the immortal boat: "General, you didn't invite me here just to have tea with me, did you?"

He raised the corners of his mouth, which were still damp with tea, and smiled, "Is it really as March 7th said, that you want to hijack the [Life] Command Star Train?"

Jing Yuan had already heard from Ting Yun that this man had a strange sense of humor, and calmly replied, "Mr. Bai Yan's words are indeed interesting, but I dare not risk Luo Fu's future to offend you."

"Do I look like such a petty person? Although I am not like the calamity you all describe, whose broad mind not only has scars but also tolerates leaky holes."

Jing Yuan didn't want to make fun of the Star God, so he just smiled and said, "I suppose your relationship with Lord Chang Le Tian isn't too bad."

"Ancestor of Destruction" is the name given to [Destruction] by the Immortal Boat people, while "Eternal Joy Heavenly Lord" refers to [Joy].

Bai Yan unceremoniously picked up a seasonal pastry that Jing Yuan had prepared from the table: "Recently, I've spent more than half a year with that bastard Aha at the Black Tower Space Station. I tricked Him, and He tricked me in return. However, Nanuk was tricked twice."

Even Jing Yuan, who was skilled in diplomacy and resourceful, found it difficult to respond at this moment.

“I haven’t been in touch with Aha for a few days either. Drinking tea together might be a bit boring, so we could call some guy who could be a stand-up comedy master.”

As Bai Yan finished speaking, crimson particles condensed at his fingertips, and a red mask was held between his fingers.

Its texture is heavy, its colors are vibrant, its smile is arrogant yet its brushstrokes are restrained, waiting for every indulgent tease.

Jing Yuan is several hundred years old and has seen a great deal. He can tell at a glance that this mask is not the kind of mask worn by ordinary fools.

Bai Yan smiled and said, "Are you curious? This is a mask that Aha was wearing."

Jing Yuan also laughed and said, "To be able to say something so shocking about the world so casually, you truly live up to your reputation."

The fact that a piece of Chang Letianjun's mask was torn off is certainly big news, even if it doesn't have the same impact as the God War.

But according to this person, this kind of thing is no different from playing around with friends.

Next, Bai Yan held the mask in both hands and pulled the mouth of the mask to both sides.

In the past, Aha would have already answered the phone by the time he started pulling at his mask and mouth.

But the mask did not react.

"Tsk——"

Bai Yan clicked his tongue: "He's even throwing a tantrum at me. He blamed me for giving him the silent treatment, and now he's giving me the silent treatment."

However, this was an outcome Bai Yan had anticipated. He was simply confirming it now.

Then, Bai Yan put the mask away: "He thought I might throw the mask off in retaliation, but this is my trophy, and I don't need to get angry with Him over my own things."

That was the end of the little episode about [pleasure].

Bai Yan steered the conversation back on track: "Let me repeat myself, General, you didn't invite me here just to have tea with me, did you?"

"Don't we have some seasonal snacks prepared for you? I can't very well ask you to go with them to help the Immortal Boat capture Kafka, can I? The Immortal Boat already owes you a favor, and it would be a bit presumptuous of me to ask you to take the initiative."

"That's fine too." Bai Yan took a seasonal pastry from the table. "Children have to walk on their own eventually. Let them make a fuss for a while."

Jingyuan understood the implication: "So, after they've finished making a scene, is there anything else you'd like to do, sir?"

Bai Yan's words remained casual, but their content shook Jing Yuan to his core: "Do you believe that Ting Yun can uproot and completely destroy the Jianmu tree on the immortal ship?"

Jianmu, an ancient tree left on the Luofu Immortal Boat by the ancestor of the plague, is a miracle of conquering death.

The Emperor's Bow Master chopped down the Jianmu tree, causing it to wither and die for thousands of years.

Except for those who are familiar with ancient books and history, most people in Xianzhou only regard it as a piece of old dead wood, and they don't even know its origin.

The ancient sages placed this piece of dead wood in full view of everyone, deliberately making it seem insignificant, but in reality, they used the art of sealing it away layer by layer.

The power of abundance is inexhaustible; as long as it is not completely eradicated, the Jianmu tree will always be a source of trouble.

However, all the people of the Immortal Ship throughout the ages could only seal it away; they could not eradicate or destroy it.

Tingyun, however, was not even a member of the Tianbo Bureau's military forces, and usually referred to herself as a "little woman."

Even if Tingyun still had a fighting chance against ordinary enemies, how could she possibly defeat Jianmu?

"Excuse my boldness, but are you perhaps preparing to bestow upon Tingyun the power of immortality?"

Bai Yan shook his head: "It's better to let [Hunting] handle the family affairs of your Immortal Ship. I, the uncle next door, am just going with the flow."

Jing Yuan calmly analyzed: "Miss Tingyun lives in a relatively peaceful era and is not good at fighting. If you, her uncle, are only prepared to go with the flow, I can hardly imagine how she will destroy the Jianmu."

"General, have you heard of the simulated life project?"

Bai Yan smiled and said, "She lives in a peaceful era, but I can let her experience the major and minor battles of the Immortal Ship, even from the Three Tribulations Era to the Chaos of Sudden Change. However, whether she can succeed in the end is up to her."

Chapter 104 Tingyun: Are you kidding me?

If anyone else had said they could make Tingyun experience all the major and minor battles of the Immortal Ship from the Three Tribulations period to the chaos of the ephemeral chaos, Jingyuan would probably just shake his head and smile without saying a word.

But if the person in front of you says they can do it, then they really do have a way.

Jing Yuan didn't address the issue of trust, but instead went straight to the matter of the Jianmu tree the other party had mentioned:

"With Jianmu here, evil creatures will inevitably set their sights on Luofu and fall into our trap. However, since the enemy is in the dark while we are in the light, we may have some unforeseen plans. If we are not careful, the immortal ship will fall into a disadvantageous position, the hunter and the prey will be reversed, and there will be heavy casualties. It is safer to take the initiative to [hunt].

This Shence General never considered turning the tide in a crisis as a wise strategy, so he put a lot of effort into routine matters to avoid unnecessary complications.

The unknown enemy general attracted by the Jianmu tree was naturally an unexpected complication.

The immortal ship sails and hunts, allowing for careful planning before action.

If the immortal ship is targeted by sinister forces in the shadows, turning the tables won't be so easy.

The slightest misstep could result in heavy casualties for the Cloud Cavalry. Even though many brave and fearless soldiers have already disregarded their own lives, we cannot let them lose their lives in vain.

For the Jianmu tree, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

Jing Yuan did not immediately feel delighted, but instead brought up the matter after the Jianmu tree was eradicated: "If you can really go with the flow and let Tingyun eradicate the Jianmu tree, Luofu's future hunting expeditions will be much safer, and the Yunqi Army will shed far less blood. However, I'm afraid I can never repay this kindness."

"The incident hasn't even happened yet, so how can we talk about having no way to repay the favor?"

Bai Yan noticed Jing Yuan's doubts, smiled gently, and continued, "Think back to when you were a child. If your neighbor or uncle came to your house to do something for them and just happened to help out, would you have kowtowed and thanked them?"

Jing Yuan smiled slightly: "From your perspective, sir, I see how this matter is understood. Then I thank you for your care."

At this point, Jingyuan changed the subject: "However, the formalities need not be too heavy, nor should they be completely absent. Even if your uncles and aunts do not help you when you are young, you should still treat them well if they visit. I will send them a small gift then, and I hope you will not refuse."

Do I look like a polite person?

Bai Yan reached out and picked up another seasonal pastry. "But I do hope you can get along better with Xing and the others."

Jing Yuan poured some tea for Bai Yan: "I have already gained a preliminary understanding at Si Chen Palace. The Starry Sky Train came to help Luo Fu solve the Star Core problem. They treat Luo Fu with sincerity, and Luo Fu should reciprocate with sincerity. They are guests, and once this matter is settled, this trip to Luo Fu will certainly not disappoint them."

With business concluded, Bai Yan chatted with Jing Yuan for a few more minutes, finished his tea, and then left the Shence Mansion.

Jing Yuan watched the other person leave and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if the other party is very friendly, sitting and talking with a deity is still not an easy thing.

Just like those jokes from the Star Gods earlier, you can't just respond to them casually.

However, through this meeting, he also learned that, unlike the ancestor of the plague who followed altruism with boundless "compassion," this neighbor uncle came with his own ulterior motives.

Even he, the Divine Strategist General of the Luofu Immortal Ship, could not see through the Star God's purpose.

Knowing that the other party was coming to visit, Jing Yuan recently browsed a lot of information about the [Life] Star God compiled by scholars from the Immortal Ship and other factions.

According to the research of scholars from Xianzhou, the destiny of [life] includes nurturing.

This single point alone makes the scope of one's destiny indescribable. Giving birth to children is nurturing, as is teaching and educating people. The expansion of civilization and the propagation of life cannot be separated from this concept.

This is why only a very small number of people gain some destiny through their cultivation practices.

Scholars from the Immortal Ship discovered from ancient history that there were already travelers on the path of destiny in this world, all of whom were figures of the highest sage and teacher level.

This boost from the power of destiny is not based on martial prowess. Even those few individuals, until their lives faded away, did not realize that they had become travelers of destiny. They simply devoted their lives to cultivating this path of destiny, and even nurtured figures who would be remembered in the annals of star history.

Nurturing, guiding, and watching life grow step by step, from taking its first steps to becoming independent.

In the dim light, Jing Yuan saw Bai Yan's departing figure no longer resemble a majestic god, but rather the approachable uncle and neighbor He spoke of, who would slowly watch them grow up.

After the other party pushed open the door and left, Jing Yuan muttered to himself, "No wonder the civilizations under His feet call Him Father God, rather than simply Creator."

Not far from the Shence Mansion, Tingyun, disguised as Qingyun, was already waiting for Baiyan.

During this time, she quietly watched the people coming and going in Changletian. A few days ago, when she was in the Krus civilization, she hadn't expected that she would be able to return to the Immortal Ship so quickly.

Despite such a great favor, the other party only wanted her to be a tourist guide for touring the fairy ship.

For the other party, interstellar travel was just a step away, merely a convenient task, no more troublesome than her acting as a guide. But that's not how it works.

As the chief representative of the Tianbo Company [Minghuo] Chamber of Commerce, accounting is a task that Tingyun is very familiar with.

A simple long-distance interstellar jump is no small expense, let alone to a civilization with no connection to this universe, plus the life-saving grace and the other party's identity... the debt of gratitude is too great.
