After Padu finally walked a long distance away, Kevin, who had been standing still, suddenly said to her: "If you still have any bad ideas, I advise you to put them away... That's the stupidest thing to do."
"..."
The Cloud Rider, who had probably been riding on the battlefield for hundreds of years, was silent for a while before he spoke softly, "Of course I know this, but... the most taboo thing for the Immortal Boat people is to show their 'devil body' to others, because that means giving up being human and losing to the 'evil creature' buried in the blood of immortality... It also violates the teachings of the Emperor Bow."
After all, he had been taught this since he was a child—‘Abundance’ was the enemy of the Xianzhou Alliance and ‘Hunting’. And the ‘Devil Yin Body’ was the most shameful side of the Xianzhou people that they could not show to others, because it only symbolized death to them.
When the symptoms of the "Demonic Yin Body" appear in one's body, it means that the end is near for the people in the Immortal Boat. They should wait somewhere quietly, waiting for the judges of the Ten Kings Division to come and take them away for custody... After all, generally speaking, the age at which the people in the Immortal Boat show symptoms of the "Demonic Yin Body" is always around a thousand years old.
A situation like this where the demonic body is revealed prematurely is like a one-eyed wolf that is forced to leave the pack for some reason - it's not that there is no possibility of it returning to the pack, but everyone knows that they shouldn't have much hope for it.
"Really? But I think that even if you run away with the bomb and die together with those Medicine King Secret Teachings right now, it will be much better than what you just thought."
Kevin paused for a moment, then continued, "Besides, if there is no one to testify for me, will those Cloud Riders believe that I can help them deal with the symptoms of the Demonic Yin Body?"
“T-This…?!”
The Cloud Rider immediately understood Kevin's meaning - in other words, he was asking him to take his current appearance, which was completely that of a "demon's Yin body", to negotiate with his former compatriots and make them believe that even the secret strategy of the King of Medicine could be overcome.
But... didn't I say it before? The most taboo thing for the Xianzhou people is to show their "devil body" to others. Even those old people who are about to die, when they realize that they have the symptoms of "devil body", they usually just stay at home honestly.
Regardless of whether their thoughts are feudal or open, the groups of people who can form a society will always have a certain degree of moral bottom line, high or low. Such behavior is undoubtedly a great rebellion for the Xianzhou people.
For most Xianzhou people, dignity in this regard is undoubtedly more important than life. But, but...what if it is not just his own life that is placed on the other side of the scale?
"Okay! I promise you!"
———— ————
After all, the Cloud Cavalry is a large army. In order to ensure that the Medicine King's Secret Teachings do not cause any more trouble, there should be at least hundreds of thousands of Cloud Cavalry troops pouring into the Danding Division at the same time.
To track the traces they left behind, let alone Little Paduo who was the best at this, even if Qingque, who had almost no special skills except slacking off and playing cards, was blindfolded, she would be able to find the location of the Cloud Cavalry.
Finally, after more than ten minutes, they successfully arrived at the headquarters of the Cloud Cavalry Army temporarily stationed in Danding Division. However, before they could get close enough, a patrol team of more than ten people stopped them first.
"Stop! If you dare to take another step forward, we will directly launch an attack! Wait, is this... a demonic body?!"
After seeing the unusually shaped Cloud Rider in the team, the patrol team, which had originally had some intention of investigating, immediately raised their weapons and quickly formed a formation to surround the few people in the center - they had already suffered a lot along the way, so how could they still look so slow?
"It's fine that you damn Medicine King secret disciples are hiding in the fog, but you actually dared to run out and approach the camp! Look, I'm going to..."
"Wait a minute, you idiot!"
Fortunately, just half a second before the situation was about to escalate, the Cloud Rider who was suffering from the evil spirit in Kevin's team suddenly spoke. The familiar voice made the patrol team leader stunned on the spot.
"This, this voice is... Liuyun Xiaowei?! But, but how is this possible? Even if you have turned into a demon body... No! Quick, you! Go inform Master Taibu, quickly!"
Chapter 150: You are becoming more capable, Qingque~
“Liu, Liuyun Xiaowei?!...Understood!”
After receiving the order from his superior, the Cloud Rider was stunned for a few seconds after hearing the name before he quickly turned around and ran into the camp behind him.
For soldiers like them who are at the lowest level, if they want to directly notify the fortune teller in charge of all military affairs in the strictly structured army, in theory they must at least go through layers of approval, which will take an unknown amount of time.
It was obvious that the captain of this patrol team seemed to know the Liuyun Guard he mentioned. He wanted to approach him several times to talk, but he was always stopped by the other party who shook his head unnoticeably. In the end, he could only helplessly continue to guard the periphery with his weapon.
After all, up to now he is the only one who is willing to believe that the man in front of him who is tainted by the evil spirit is the Liuyun Xiaowei - if the Yunqijun is unwilling to acknowledge their identities later, too much contact and too early now will be a disaster for him.
As time passed, the lively little Padu finally couldn't help but whisper to Kevin beside her, "Boss Kevin, how big a position is Xiaowei? Why do they all look so shocked?"
If it was just an ordinary Cloud Rider who was rescued by them, the trouble would definitely not be limited to this. But from what they said about the Xiaowei...is this a really high position? Can they give them a lot of money?
"Well...if we simply infer based on my understanding - Luofu has General Jingyuan as the general leader of the Cloud Cavalry Army and the entire Immortal Boat, then Xiaowei is theoretically the highest official position in the Cloud Cavalry Army besides that general."
"Of course, this is just my unilateral guess."
After all, because the cultural environment and architectural style on the Immortal Boat are very similar to a certain civilization on Earth, Kevin simply applied the official titles there. It may not be correct, but I think it is not much different.
"This, is so high?!"
Little Paduo, who had always been a low-level clerk and could only be treated as a subordinate by others, was stunned, and then exclaimed: "Then, then, doesn't that mean that Xiaowei is at least the commander-in-chief of the hundreds of thousands of cloud cavalry?!"
While being shocked, Padua did not forget to turn her head to look at the person next to her... Well, after all, the person was completely wrapped up by the branches, and she couldn't see anything.
But just thinking about the feeling of commanding hundreds of thousands of people in battle is enough to make one's blood boil, okay!
"What this warrior said is correct. If we only talk about official positions, the position of the so-called Xiaowei in the Immortal Boat is only below the general and the six department heads, and the others are at most on the same level as them."
After discussing the issue of professional matching, the Cloud Rider who had been reluctant to speak suddenly said, "But in fact, in the current Luofu Cloud Riders, the Xiaowei is just a nominal position given to certain soldiers, and they will hardly have the power and opportunity to command the army."
"Eh, a nominal position?" At that moment, Padu felt that she was the one who was kicked down from the pinnacle of power. She asked with a look of grievance, "But why?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, this is usually because someone in this position has used this power to cause a lot of trouble, so the power was stripped away by the person in power, once and for all."
Kevin didn't even have to think about how boring these power struggles were. If those people could focus a little more on other things, the situation wouldn't be so bad in many cases.
Hearing this, the Cloud Rider just sighed slightly, as if he did not care about the situation, or as if he was simply agreeing.
On the other hand, Qingque, who had been pretending to be very well-behaved since she heard that her master, the Grand Astrologer, would soon arrive at the battlefield, could not help but come forward after hearing these words and retorted indignantly: "Who said that? How come I have never heard of such bad news? I am very familiar with the story of the Five Warriors on the Cloud!"
"It's not just me. Every listener in the academy can tell several stories at random. They have made great contributions to the alliance and killed countless evil creatures. How could such people be bewitched by power?"
It is said to be a miscellaneous book from some academy, but for the people on the fairy boat, this kind of thing is actually not much different from the real history. At most, the language is quite cautious.
After all, if it was completely forged, or was purely slanderous - the Xianzhou Alliance was not stupid, so how could they really let these things spread widely?
No matter which world or civilization, the smart high-level people will definitely firmly grasp the channels for ordinary people to obtain information. This is not only to ensure the cohesion of civilization, but also to ensure that they can control them.
"The Five Warriors of the Cloud... they are indeed famous for their military exploits in the Alliance... their stories are also widely known. But how many people can clearly tell where they went after leaving the Cloud Cavalry?"
The Cloud Rider controlled his voice very well, and almost only the few people in their team heard his words, but they aroused quite a reaction from Qingque.
"I'm a big fan of theirs, how could I not know this! Of course, of course..."
It took Qingque only a few seconds to go from her initial confidence to her final hesitation, because she found that she had indeed heard countless stories about them, but she seemed to never know where those people had gone.
On the contrary, General Jing Yuan was very easy to find. He used to be one of the five mighty warriors on the cloud, and now he is the general commanding Luofu. He completely deserves the title!
Oh, no, she seemed to remember!
"If I remember correctly, the last thing written in a book is...Except for the general from Luofu, the other four also hold important positions on other immortal ships, so they basically have no chance to return to their hometown. This is also very normal."
"Oh, you hold an important position..." Hearing this, the Cloud Rider did not refute. Instead, he lowered his head slightly as if he had thought of something, obviously not wanting to argue with Qingque anymore.
But when Qingque thought that the man in front of her seemed to be a brave guard as well, and that he had become like this because of the fight with the secret teachings of the King of Medicine, she suddenly felt a little bit sorry for him. But just when she was about to continue to say something, she heard a voice from afar that instantly made her hair stand on end.
"It's true that arriving early is worse than arriving at the right time. How come you've already learned how to find out military secrets after only one day of not seeing each other?"
"You seem to be getting better, my dear bluebird."
Chapter 151 Kevin: I'm Enough
"Mr. Taibu, you...you must have heard me wrong. How could I do something like that? You know me best, right?"
Putting two fingers secretly on his chest, Qingque tried hard to put on a seductive smile and turned to look at his old boss who was waiting for several Cloud Cavalry soldiers walking towards him.
She believed that her own master Taibu was absolutely aware of her unswerving determination to slack off until her death. Not to mention actively seeking out military secrets, even if such a thing was placed in front of her, she would think it would be a waste of her time to pick it up.
After saying this, as if to ease the anger of his boss and the embarrassment in the scene, Qingque pointed to Kevin and the others behind him and said, "Look, I spent a lot of effort to bring them here... but I am just a little bit away from saying goodbye to you!"
Why could Qingque, who had never learned any skill points in public speaking, speak so fluently and with such cadence? Because what she said was completely true!
Being Kevin's guide is an absolutely high-risk job - I don't know if it's due to some unspeakable principle of mutual attraction or something else, but they always run into troubles that Qingque has never encountered in her life.
If Kevin wasn't really that amazing, it would be unknown whether they could stand here intact right now.
But just when Qingque was waiting with hope for his master to calm down, his face turned colder and he said to the poor little Qingque in a stern voice: "Really? But why don't I remember ever giving you such an order?"
"What, this, me???"
She never thought that her old boss would actually do such a thing to her. She was stunned on the spot, unable to stand or sit, feeling very embarrassed.
Lord Taibu, we...we can't play tricks on people like this!
"Forget it. Even without using my divine eyes to observe, I know that this could not possibly be your idea."
There was no need for Qingque to refute, as Fu Xuan had already figured everything out. However, just as the light in Qingque's eyes began to shine again, Fu Xuan continued, "But let's put things in perspective. This doesn't mean that the mistakes you made can be written off."
Speech should be polite and rewards and punishments should be clear - these are the skills that a leader must master, and old lady Fu Taibu is fully aware of this.
"As for this Liuyun Xiaowei now, well...if it was before, I think facing this kind of demonic Yin body that still retains its rationality, there must be someone in the Danding Division who can solve the Jianmu intrusion in his body."
After dealing with Qingque, Fu Xuan turned to look at the Cloud Rider in their team and said, "But now you have seen that the Dan Ding Division has become a breeding ground for evildoers... Let alone whether there are still a few doctors loyal to the alliance, even if they happen to be excluded from the Dan Ding Division and stationed in other caves, we dare not trust them."
"After all that nonsense, the only ones who are capable of handling this situation in the Immortal Boat are probably the Dragon Masters of the Chiming Clan... I will arrange for someone to take over from them. And considering your current condition, I think it's best not to show it to others."
"This is not only for the good of the Cloud Cavalry, but also for your own good... You know, not everyone can accept this."
The more brilliant your original reputation is, the more the stains you have experienced will be infinitely magnified...not to mention, the demonic body is more than just a stain to the people in the Immortal Boat.
There will always be people who jump out and make some confusing suggestions - for example, the reason why he can gain spiritual intelligence in the devil's body is not because of anything else, but because he abandoned the alliance and turned to the ability obtained by the Medicine King's secret teachings?
"Regarding this point... Lord Taibu, I don't care about myself. What I value most is whether I can make some contributions to the alliance in the end. Otherwise, I will never come back here. But in the end, it still depends on the attitude of this gentleman."
He turned his head and looked at Kevin beside him. If it weren't for the other party's persuasion, he might have understood himself just now. Who knows, if he is a little luckier, maybe some of his past deeds can also be sung by people like those five heroes on the cloud?
"Well...is it time to finally get to the point?"
The Fu Taibu first slightly closed his eyes, then looked at Kevin after a few seconds and said, "I am Fu Xuan, the head of Luofu Taibu Division. I am sorry that I have temporarily left you here when we first met - but to show my sincerity, I still have to say that I have experienced nearly a hundred first meetings between you in my 'Dharma Eye'."
As the most important person in the Taibusi, Fu Xuan should have many means to predict the future. And the so-called "Dharma Eye"... simply understand it as a means to glimpse the future.
"So, this is the experience you have gained from hundreds of failures?"
To be honest, at this time Kevin was actually hoping that the other party could come up with something refreshing for him, because after all, that could be regarded as an experience during the trip that was worth telling others about, right?
"That's right, because after hundreds of trials and errors, I found that no matter what I did, I couldn't convince you to work with Yunqi to solve the Medicine King Secret. This seems to be an impossible task."
This Fu Taibu not only looked about the same age as Qingque, but he even spoke in a childish manner.
In short, it is Fu Taibu now...she is starting.
"But there's nothing we can do about it. Although the fortune teller can avoid misfortune and seek good fortune, he can't do it to the extent of changing everything like the God of Destiny. Some things...if you say they can't be done, then they can't be done." Fu Xuan said in a helpless tone.
It’s like if you ask her to have a baby, she won’t be able to do it?
"Did I refuse every time you observed me? What's the reason?"
Although Kevin had no intention of accompanying the army, this so-called observation undoubtedly aroused his rebellious psychology - he has never trusted the future that can be accurately predicted.
"Well, let me think about it, it seems that every time you talk about it, you always say..."
"If we just need to deal with those guys, I can do it alone."
Chapter 152: Little Ai Li: What do you mean?
"Pfft..."
It wasn't just the language itself, this Fu Taibu even imitated the expression and tone so vividly that little Ai Li, who had been trying to lower her presence and not say a word, couldn't help but burst out laughing.
I think there is no one in this universe who understands Kevin better than her...he can really say those words!
However, the original intention of this statement was not to dislike those people who were dragging their feet, but more out of some kind of worry. After all, although he could solve the problem by himself, he could not really guarantee the safety of everyone on the battlefield.
As a result, Kevin turned his head and glanced at little Ellie who had lost her composure. It seemed like just a very indifferent glance, but it made little Ellie cover her mouth suddenly, and she dared not make even a sound.
Fortunately, this scene only made the fortune teller take a glance at it. She did not ask any more questions, but continued to look at Kevin curiously and said: "But having said that, I think you... should be considered a destiny walker, right? Maybe even more... Otherwise, those profit-seekers in the "company" would not be so attentive."
"But for people on their way to a certain fate, there should be all kinds of shadows flowing out of those possibilities... but I can't see any of them in you, it's really strange..."
"This situation is like my own destiny has been anchored by something, and it seems that this situation would only happen to someone who has long passed away. It's really strange... The longer you live, the more you can understand the truth that there are so many things in the world, and the more you can understand the limitations of individuals... Don't you think so?"
After explaining his views, Fu Taibu raised his head again and looked at Kevin, who was much taller than him.
"..."
