Collapse Iron: The Five Heroes of the Clouds Won't Let Me Go

Three days later, everyone came to see Cheng Xiao and his daughter off.

After all, it was the original plan, and it wouldn't be good to suddenly back out.

After understanding the situation, Danfeng generously allowed them to pass.

"Go! Bailu needs to study more about the knowledge of the Vidyadharas. This act of sending her to study is a great act of kindness."

"But let me make this clear beforehand: I trust Bai Lu completely, but I don't trust you at all. Cheng Xiao, you'd better watch out for those with ulterior motives!"

Cheng Xiao expressed his doubts about this.

"I have no relatives or friends in Fanghu, except for General Xuanquan, who is an acquaintance of mine. What is there to worry about?"

Danfeng remained silent, only looking at Chengxiao with a meaningful gaze.

Cheng Xiao: "...Alright, I'll be wary of Xuan Quan."

Bai Heng and Ying Xing were keeping an eye on all the items they needed to bring, such as clothes, storybooks, toiletries, and so on.

Bai Lu, hands on hips, said nonchalantly:

"Little Aunt, Aunt Yingxing, don't worry. Once we get to Fanghu, Father will buy some more."

Yingxing was a gentle person; she just chuckled twice and said nothing more.

Bai Heng vigorously rubbed Bai Lu's head, and said aggressively:

"You little devil! You think money comes from thin air? I'm just worried about you."

Poor Bailu could not escape the cruel hand of fate; her soft face changed constantly under Baiheng's brutal abuse.

"Waaah... Little Mother, I was wrong!"

The noisy atmosphere made everyone laugh, and Jingliu stepped forward to give some instructions.

"Ah Xiao, this study trip will take us across four other immortal ships, each for three months, for a total of one year. I'm not worried about safety, but a year of longing... you must contact us for at least an hour every day using the jade tablet."

"it is good."

Several people took turns holding Cheng Xiao's hand and murmuring, just like wives sending their husbands off to the capital for the imperial examinations.

They finally managed to delay for half an hour before letting them pass, and Bailu was almost asleep by then.

"Mother and aunts! We're leaving now! Will you miss me?"

Bai Lu waved goodbye, but the elders mostly watched Cheng Xiao.

"Hehe~ Now Dad only needs to keep us company!"

Bai Lu secretly rejoiced, already fantasizing about the happy life she would have with her father on their journey.

For her, life in Luofu was fulfilling and interesting, but also always the same.

For Bailu, this was her first long trip in over a year, something she had been eagerly anticipating.

However, in this world, unchanging stability is a rare luxury.

Bai Lu's views on the various elders differed greatly:

Jingliu. An incredibly cool and powerful swordswoman, whom Bailu greatly admires. While others show her awe, Bailu finds the aloof swordswoman utterly captivating, lamenting that she lacks the talent to master swordsmanship.

Jingyuan, Bailu's favorite person. She takes Bailu out for delicious food and fun activities, bringing comfort to her monotonous school life.

And she's a general! Seriously, the feeling of riding on someone else's coattails is amazing! Who would dare deny she's the leader of the kids? Generals are all my relatives!

General Jingyuan is her elder sister by seniority, but she harbors treacherous intentions, plotting to usurp the throne and elevate her seniority! It's truly shameful. Considering how good she's been to me, I'll mercifully help her out.

Aunt Yingxing. The easiest person to talk to. All of Bailu's toys were made by Aunt Yingxing, and whenever Bailu pestered Aunt Yingxing and acted coquettishly, she would always reluctantly give in to her requests under her persistent coaxing.

Bai Heng's little mother. The most mischievous fox spirit. Bai Lu believes that if she's second to none when it comes to causing trouble, her little mother is number one, especially when it comes to taking Bai Lu on car races—it's practically child abuse!

Danfeng's eldest mother. The strictest dragon. The most terrifying dragon! Whether it's assigning various lessons and assignments, or requiring the study of the scriptures of wisdom, it's all Danfeng's demand.

Moreover, they would conduct random checks on the exams, and their cold expressions made Bai Lu extremely nervous.

Although Bailu did learn a lot and received a lot of praise, her wonderful childhood was missing half of its fun!

Although a one-year-old child generally doesn't have a childhood...

They boarded the star raft and left the Jade Realm Gate in the blink of an eye.

In the distance, Teng Xiao and Wang Xu rested their chins on their hands.

Teng Xiao: "Sigh, things are going to be tough now that Cheng Xiao is gone."

Wang Xu: "Exactly! Why would he want to be some kind of tutor?"

Teng Xiao: "We two old bachelors wouldn't understand how much we love our daughter. Why don't you give it a try?"

Wang Xu: "Come on, I don't want to get married. The thought of being bogged down in family dramas makes me feel awful!"

"fishing?"

Let's go.

"Wait!"

A woman's voice came from behind them.

Yao Feng stood with his arms crossed, his face grim, his phoenix eyes staring at them as if they were insects.

"My apprentice has gone on a long journey, so I'll leave the byproducts of my culinary training to you two idle folks. Objection overruled."

The two were greatly surprised.

"Murder! Someone is trying to poison the current Grand Diviner!"

"Wait! That doesn't make sense! What does this have to do with us?!"

"I'm a retired, frail old man! How can they torture me like this?! Is anyone in Luofu even looking after me?! Jingyuan! Chengxiao! Come quick!"

"I knew it... the reckoning of the Immortal Ship was bound to come sooner or later. Old soldiers never die, they just gradually fade away..."

Yao Feng's face darkened, and he forcibly grabbed the two by the collar and dragged them away.

The cries of agony echoed across the fields; the former general and the acting diviner lamented their plight, bringing tears to the eyes of all who heard them and breaking their hearts.

Teng Xiao & Wang Xu: "Cheng Xiao! Come back and control this crazy woman!"

......

"Wow! Is this the universe described in the book? It's so beautiful!"

Bai Lu leaned against the window, gazing at the boundless black sky shimmering with starlight. This was her first time riding a starship into space.

After all, her vital signs had been under observation throughout the year, so she was unable to reach high altitudes or touch the sky.

Cheng Xiao chuckled lightly:

"The beauty of the starry sky is truly stunning the first time you see it, but after a while, you get used to it."

Then Cheng Xiao also looked up at the distant universe, and he could feel a faint gaze watching him.

The mask on his chest felt slightly hot, and Cheng Xiao felt somewhat uneasy.

Little Ha ran back to accompany him before he left.

Heta told him that she had recently made a new friend, her predecessor #81 Nguyen Mai, a genius in life sciences.

Cheng Xiao somewhat regretted handing over the golden blood given to him by [Destruction] Nanuk to Black Tower. He was really afraid that Black Tower had made some kind of special deal with Ruan Mei.

(Golden Blood: The blood flowing from Nanuk. Those affected by destruction all bear golden markings in their blood, which contains a great deal of destructive power. This golden blood was bestowed during the chaos of the ephemeral world.)

In the wake of the sudden chaos, the Immortal Ship has intensified its defenses as much as possible, both against the Abundant Beasts and the Antimatter Legion.

Especially after Xingxiao took over Zhuluo's position, his antimatter legion's aggressive momentum expanded even further.

Hopefully, the turbulent times are over, and the immortal ship needs more time to recuperate.
