Bengtie: My death fueled their madness.

……

Xing found typing troublesome, so she sent a voice message to Qi Zhimu, explaining the matters related to Tingyun.

[Galaxy Baseball Man: That's about it. I might not have explained it completely or clearly. Feel free to ask if you have any questions, and I'll add more.]

[Zhi Mu (Super-Speed ​​Qin Demon): I roughly understand. You're looking for Ting Yun, the fox-woman who was replaced by Huan Long at some unknown time and whose fate is unknown, right?]

[Galaxy Baseball Man: Yes! Requesting the activation of your super-connections.]

[Zhi Mu (Super-Speed ​​Qin Demon): ...Generally speaking, if someone's fate is unknown, then they're dead.]

[Galaxy Baseball Man: ...]

[Zhi Mu (Super Speed ​​Piano Master): But there are exceptions. I'll do my best, but don't have too high expectations.]

[Zhi Mu (Super Speed ​​Qin Demon): We don't have enough information right now. I need to gather as much information as possible about Ting Yun.]

[Galaxy Baseball Man: That's perfect. We need to deliver Tingyun's belongings to the Sky Pirates of the Sky Ship Bureau. They're on their way. Can you make it now?]

[Galaxy Baseball Man: According to General Jingyuan, Tingyun and Yukong have the best relationship, so asking her directly will definitely save trouble.]

[Zhi Mu (Super Speed ​​Piano Master): OK, coming right away.]

Qi Zhimu put away his phone, stretched for the first time in a long time, and soon after waking up, all his fatigue was gone.

In fact, given the current situation, he could have Jingliu notify Jingyuan to send over the relevant information, but he was just idling around anyway.

Heta stayed by his side while he slept.

Falling into a deep sleep in the arms of a woman is more reassuring than anything else.

Two minutes ago, Black Tower and he shared a tender kiss before Black Tower reluctantly returned to the space station to continue repairing the simulated universe.

As for Jingliu, there was no trace of her in Qingxin Residence; no one knew where she had gone.

Black Tower has made it clear that they did nothing to her.

Rarely having nothing to do, Sichen Palace, let's set off.

……

[Zhi Mu (Super Speed ​​Piano Master): I've arrived, waiting for you.]

So fast?! Xing was taken aback.

Could it be that he happens to be nearby...?

[Galaxy Baseball Man: Thanks for the invitation. I'm currently at Kunyu Terrace, just disembarked from the Star Chariot, and will be there soon.]

Kunyu Terrace is located in the square where Sichen Palace stands.

As the saying goes, the earth carries all things like a carriage. Standing here, one can not only see the Jade Gate that leads to and from Luofu, but also experience the diverse aspects of life here.

Thanks to Luofu's efficient management, the disaster caused by the restoration of the Jianmu tree did not have a significant impact on the people here.

The three of them crossed the bustling square and soon arrived in front of the Sichen Palace.

His gaze swept left and right, finally settling on a tall, slender figure not far away.

"Hi~ Zhimu, this is it!"

Xing waved, and March 7th waved back.

Qi Zhimu smiled back and nodded to Walter in greeting.

"It's been a few days. You seem to be doing well?" March 7th said, looking him up and down.

"Hmm..." Qi Zhimu thought about it seriously and replied, "It's a bit complicated, but it's not wrong to say it's not bad."

"That's intriguing... So what did you do all those days you disappeared?"

"Handling interpersonal relationships."

"Huh?"

Not to mention March 7th, even Xing was completely baffled.

What kind of interpersonal relationship requires so much time to process?

Seeing the confusion on their faces, Qi Zhimu smiled slightly but did not explain.

That's a family matter and shouldn't be made public.

"Let's chat after we finish our business. We've already notified Yu Kong in advance that we can go in anytime," Walter said.

The group had no objections.

The journey was smooth and unobstructed, and before long we arrived at the magnificent palace with its soaring eaves.

Numerous pilots and navigators were busy at work, but they didn't disturb the staff and went straight to the air traffic control office area.

From afar, before seeing the person, one can hear their voice.

"In that case, please convey my message to the Ten Kings' Court..."

"I will pass on the message, and I also ask the captain to take care of his grief."

Sensing the approaching guests, she noticed a footstep that seemed to make her heart skip a beat, and Xueyi frowned almost imperceptibly.

"Since we have guests, I, the Flight Master, will take my leave now."

Xueyi turned around without hesitation, and the next second, she met a gaze that made her involuntarily freeze.

On the far left of the group of four stood the figure of Dao Yongheng, a figure forever etched in their lives.

Not only were their appearances and figures intimately familiar, but even their eyes were enough to make one tremble.

…Lord Chimu…?

As four words flashed through her mind, Xueyi saw Qi Zhimu slowly reveal a complex smile and silently put his index finger to his lips.

Countless centuries later, she smiled.

Although her smile was stiff and unnatural, the genuine emotion it conveyed made those around her realize that something was amiss.

When Yu Kong and the others turned their attention to Xue Yi, she had already returned to normal, as if the surging emotions and aura she had just experienced were merely an illusion.

As she brushed past Qi Zhimu and sensed his presence, Xueyi's eyes gradually blurred.

Almost reflexively, she sent an urgent message to the crow and the mirror stream.

Yu Kong turned his attention back to the visitor, his face showing signs of fatigue and disappointment.

"Ladies and gentlemen... On behalf of the entire Sky Ship Bureau, I would like to express my gratitude to the Train Corps for saving Luofu during the Star Core Cataclysm."

"Lord Yukong must have already heard about Miss Tingyun..." Seeing her attitude, how could Walter not understand?

"I know." Yu Kong's smile was slightly forced, and his tone couldn't hide his dejection.

"These are things left behind by Miss Tingyun..."

Xing handed over a folding fan that showed some signs of burning.

Yu Kong silently accepted it, and sighed deeply.

"I still find it hard to believe that battle report wasn't just a clumsy joke?"

"Antimatter Legion on the Immortal Ship? Tingyun... is she in disguise some Great Lord of Annihilation? I don't believe it..."

"How could Tingyun, who worked with me for over thirty years and once helped me manage the affairs of the Tianbo Bureau, possibly be a monster in disguise?"

"Where is she now?"

"Miss Yu Kong..." March 7 wanted to comfort her, but she was tongue-tied and didn't know how to do so.

"I'm sorry... I understand... I understand, I just can't accept it right now..."

Yu Kong subconsciously wiped the corner of his eye, concealing his inappropriate expression.

"Thank you for bringing Tingyun's belongings back to Sichen Palace. In this Star Core Cataclysm, we lost many comrades, brothers, sisters, and children..."

"I would like to invite you all to participate in the memorial service held by the Tianbo Company for the fallen, as witnesses to this battle. What do you all think?"

"A memorial service?" Xing asked, puzzled.

"In the words of the short-lived species, it's a funeral. But for the long-lived species on the Immortal Ship, the matter of what happens after death has always been a distant and vague concept," Yu Kong explained.

The train crew felt somewhat uncomfortable upon hearing this.

Xing couldn't help but say, "We've hired... some very capable people to investigate Tingyun's whereabouts. Until we find conclusive evidence, there might still be hope."

Yu Kong was surprised, and a look of gratitude flashed across his face.

"I am deeply grateful for your concern for the people of the Immortal Ship. I wonder who you invited..."

"This is Mr. Zhi Mu!"

Knowing and admiring?

Yu Kong was slightly taken aback. The name didn't seem to matter, but his appearance seemed familiar.
