Jiyufang was built at the entrance of Liuyun Ferry. It was a semi-open-air platform where merchants waited for their goods to be inspected by the Tianbo Bureau.
Lin Si and the others disembarked from the Star Boat and entered Jiyu Workshop. As far as the eye could see, it was packed with people.
Merchants dressed in various colors gathered in twos and threes. Some were looking down at the order list, some were looking up at the starry sky, some were drinking tea, and some were dozing off.
In the distance, huge cargo boxes were piled up like small mountains, row upon row, stretching as far as the eye could see.
Yanqing and Yunli went to check out the goods market together.
The two walked side by side in the aisle between the containers, their eyes scanning over the metal crates, trying to discern something with their naked eyes.
Yanqing looked very carefully, noticing every weld and every serial number.
But his expression grew increasingly serious.
Because these boxes all looked exactly the same, with nothing unusual about them...
Yun Li walked beside him, her bare feet on the metal floor. Her gaze was equally sharp, but it was impossible to discern anything.
Xueyi and Huohuo stayed by Lin Si's side the whole time.
Xueyi sat on a bench with her hands on her knees, eyes closed, resting, her face expressionless, like a statue.
Huo Huo stood beside her, sipping water slowly. She had eaten too much, but that also made her thirsty.
But because she was so full, she could only drink in small sips.
Lin Si stood in the corner, her gaze sweeping over the faces of the businessmen, her mind racing with thoughts.
Checking them one by one is too slow.
His gaze fell on Huo Huo's tail.
The tail-tailed old man is the sun of the year, and passing through walls is something he can do with ease.
Let the tail-tailed old man take a stroll around Liuyun Ferry, and he should be able to investigate everything.
He glanced again at Xueyi, who was still resting with her eyes closed.
Why does it feel like Lord Xueyi knew what he was going to do and specially asked Huo Huo to come along?
"Master Tail, can I talk to you about something?"
A ball of eerie green flame emerged from Huo Huo's tail, hovering in mid-air, its light flickering.
Despite the large number of people at Jiyufang, Master Tail made a direct appearance this time.
Because there's a snow-covered figure here, and it's Suiyang, with so many people here, if anyone recognizes it as Suiyang, it's bound to cause a stir.
Its favorite thing to do is to annoy these judges of the Ten Kings.
However, Xueyi didn't even look at it, and kept her eyes closed to rest.
This made the tail-wearing old man quite angry, as if he had punched a cotton ball.
Its flame flickered, then dimmed, then flickered again, then dimmed again.
Huo Huo glanced at Xue Yi, then at the now-present Tail Master, wanting to say something, but ultimately remained silent.
"What? Wheelchair kid?"
The tail made a muffled sound, carrying a sense of "I'm in a bad mood."
Lin Si smiled.
"Hey, Tail Master, can you do me a favor?"
Upon hearing this, the flames on the tail grew even stronger.
The wheelchair-bound boy asked it for help? That's quite a strange thing!
It needs to get the posture right.
It coughed lightly, the flames stabilizing somewhat, and its voice carried a hint of reserve.
"What kind of help do you need? Tell me. I'll decide whether to help you or not depending on my mood."
Lin Si wasn't in a hurry, and her tone was casual.
"It's not a difficult thing. I just want you to take a look around Liuyun Ferry and see what's in each of the cargo boxes."
"what?!"
Upon hearing this, the tail let out a strange cry, and flames suddenly exploded.
"Look at them all? Wheelchair kid, do you think I'm that idle?"
Seeing this, Huo Huo chimed in.
"But...Master Tail, we came here to help Lin Si..."
Tail-Big Boss glared at Huo Huo and smacked her on the head with his body.
It was described as "smashing," but it actually just floated over and touched her head. However, Huo Huo still quickly covered her head and crouched down to defend herself, her little face scrunched up.
"You silly child, which side are you from?"
The sound of its tail carried a hint of disappointment and frustration.
Huo Huo squatted on the ground and quietly retorted a few words.
The sound was very soft, so soft that Lin Si couldn't hear it clearly, but the tail-tailed old man seemed even more annoyed, and the flames crackled and popped.
Lin Sixiao watched this scene with a smile.
Huo Huo and her tail have their own way of getting along, which they have developed over many years.
Although it seems like the tail is bullying Huo Huo, the tail actually has no offensive power at all because it is sealed at this moment.
It was meant to help Huo Huo see the true nature of things. After all, Lord Xueyi hadn't told Huo Huo what to do next; she had just asked her to help.
But a mission that requires Xueyi to accompany you is certainly not a simple one.
However, the tail-tailed old man is not good with words, so he can only use this method.
Tail wanted to fight for Huo Huo's 'interests' after truly understanding what was going to be done, but Huo Huo didn't see it.
However, it's also possible that Lin Si is over-interpreting.
After all, Tail Master boasts of being a lone wolf, a force to be reckoned with. Would a lone wolf set aside his pride for the sake of his companions and fight for their interests?
Lin Si didn't know the answer; the answer only lay in the heart of the Tail-tailed Grandpa.
He glanced back at Xueyi.
Xueyi remained seated there, eyes closed, seemingly oblivious to the commotion.
"Master Tail, you should be able to tell that a mission that requires Lord Snow Robe to accompany you is no simple mission."
He paused, and seeing that the flames on the tail-like creature had stabilized somewhat, awaiting his next words, he continued.
"If you and Huo Huo were to complete this crucial step together in this operation, Huo Huo might be able to be promoted from trainee judge to full judge sooner."
Even if she doesn't get a permanent position, it will still be a significant addition to her resume.
Tail remained silent for a moment upon hearing this.
The firelight flickered, as if it were deep in thought.
Huo Huo stood up from the ground, patted the dust off her body, looked at Lin Si and then at her tail, opened her mouth, and then closed it again.
"Wheelchair kid, tell me honestly, what are you doing here?"
The sound of its tail softened, losing its usual arrogance.
Lin Si smiled.
“Grandpa Tail, if you help me with this, you should understand in the process.”
The tail remained silent for a while.
Then the fire suddenly blazed up.
"Alright! I'll help you with this!"
Upon seeing this, Lin Si immediately gave a thumbs up, her tone exaggerated.
"As expected of the wise and mighty Master Tail!"
With a soft hum from its tail, the flames rose slightly.
"You don't need to say that!"
Chapter 140 Why does this Snow-Clad Lord seem like a natural airhead?
Lin Si let Yanqing, Yun Li, and Huo Huo stroll around Liuyun Ferry together.
With Yanqing and Yunli around, there's no need to worry about Huo Huo's safety.
Master Tail knew what he was doing; even if he discovered something, he wouldn't immediately explode against those monstrous creatures.
Furthermore, its "aloofness" will not allow it to associate with those vile creatures.
Lin Si watched the three figures disappear into the container aisle, then turned her gaze away, sat in her wheelchair, and quietly stayed next to Xueyi.
The hustle and bustle of Jiyu Workshop gradually faded away, replaced by the sounds of merchants haggling, the roar of straits taking off and landing, and the clatter of cargo boxes being moved.
Lin Si leaned back in her chair and tapped her fingers lightly on the armrest twice.
He turned his head and glanced at Xueyi.
Xueyi remained with her eyes closed, resting, her hands resting on her knees, her posture still upright.
Lin thought for a moment and decided to try to get information out of him.
"Lord Xueyi, what do you think Huo Huo's future will be like?"
His tone was casual.
Xueyi opened her eyes, her face expressionless, and remained silent for a while, as if she were thinking.
“Huo Huo..…”
Her voice was soft, but every word was clear.
"He has only served as a messenger in the underworld for thirty-eight years, and now he has been promoted to judge. Although he is only an apprentice, such a speed of promotion is unheard of in the department. According to the regulations of the underworld, ordinary people would have to wait at least five hundred years to have such a chance."
She didn't answer Lin Si's question directly, but Lin Si could tell what she wanted to say.
Huo Huo is a genius, and her future is limitless.
It's likely that the Ten Kings also intended to cultivate Huo Huo, which is why they included her in the program.
But how did the Ten Kings know what he wanted to do?
After all, he hasn't told anyone about his plan yet.
Lin Si was silent for a moment, then decided to ask directly. Rather than beating around the bush, it was better to be straightforward.
"Lord Xueyi, we juniors are just engaging in petty squabbles; we could easily arrange for some Soul Collectors to accompany us. Why have you personally gotten involved?"
Xueyi nodded, her face remaining expressionless.
“I have an agreement with the Ten Kings’ Office that I can be resurrected for half a day for every criminal I capture. This half day may not seem long to you, but it is invaluable to me.”
"........."
Lin Si paused for a moment, then fell silent.
Why does this Snow-Clad Lady seem like a complete airhead?
But the answer was indeed impeccable, so he couldn't press the matter further.
After all, under General Jingyuan's command, the Luofu Immortal Ship did not have that many criminals.
As for the secret recipe of the Medicine King, it can only be said that after so many years of peace, there will always be some people who want to cause trouble.
He took out the jade tablet and began to operate it.
The data on the screen flowed past his eyes, line after line of information scrolling by. He read it very quickly, his fingers swiping across the screen very frequently.
He scrolled through the information above, and after a long while, he suddenly thought of something.
The Ten Kings also control this quantum crystal network.
Furthermore, this quantum crystal network covers the entire Immortal Ship. Although it is indeed a complete coverage, the Ten Kings Division cannot monitor everyone's every move without blind spots. They only focus on three things: "life and death, sins, and demonic possessions."
