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

Onfaros's adventure has come to an end, and the train desperately needs a short break to slow down.

For example, when Pinocchio held a music festival, it specially invited Star Train, a major shareholder, to attend.

The train crew readily agreed, and the grand ceremony was held at Pinocchio College.

Cheng Xiao and Bai Heng chose to return to the Immortal Boat to rest. Dan Heng thought about it again and again, but he wouldn't be able to share the experience with his father if he went back, so he might as well accompany Xing and San Yueqi on their trip.

Inside the Luofu Immortal Boat, Cheng Xiao sensed something was wrong.

"Bai Heng, why is everyone gone?"

"Huh? I don't know, they should all be at home."

"Okay, let's go home first."

Normally someone would come to pick you up, so this is the first time I've seen such a quiet scene.

However, as soon as they returned to the small courtyard in Chang Le Tian, ​​Bai Heng tightened his grip on Cheng Xiao's arm!

"Bai Heng! What are you doing?!"

"To prevent Xiaolang from escaping~"

"Escape? Why would I escape? I'm going home. I won't escape."

Bai Heng asked happily, "Really? Xiao Lang won't run away?"

Cheng Xiao looked puzzled: "I've already explained why I wanted to escape. In this vast Luofu, where could I possibly escape to?"

"That's true, hehe, we were too hasty~"

Bai Heng loosened his grip, and Cheng Xiao immediately withdrew without turning his head.

"I just remembered I forgot something on the train. Bai Heng, you go back first, I'll be there in a bit."

But it was too late; Danfeng was already blocking the doorway.

"Bai Heng, you silly fox, you almost got fooled by Cheng Xiao, you know that!"

Bai Heng was furious: "Xiao Lang, you actually lied to me! Tonight I'm going to squeeze you dry!"

Cheng Xiao: "Let's talk this out. What did I do wrong? At least let me die knowing why."

Jingliu walked out of the house, gently wiping the broken sword without saying a word, which was purely torturous.

Ying Xing said gently:

"Xiao, we all know about Onpharos."

"I helped Onphalus, what's with this show of force?"

Jing Yuan pushed open the door and came out, holding a tablet in his hand:

"According to statistics, it took my uncle seven days and twelve hours to enter Onfaros, during which time he lost contact and communication was interrupted."

"As agreed, he should communicate with each of us at least once every seven days, but my uncle went over the time limit by twelve hours."

Cheng Xiao was extremely anxious: "I can explain it. Onpharos's signal is blocked, and I can't contact the outside world."

Jing Yuan scoffed, "Is that so? Does Uncle mean that Onpharos is hindering the progress of the demigods? What a lame excuse."

Bai Heng: "Most importantly, do you know how worried we were when we couldn't get in touch with you?! You didn't even let us know you were safe. If we had to wait another five hundred years, I'd go crazy!"

Cheng Xiao knew he was in the wrong and quickly apologized.

But a simple apology couldn't resolve everyone's resentment.

Mirror Flow delivers its final verdict:

"Even after you left Onphalus, you didn't contact us immediately, which means we're no longer the most important person to you."

If this huge accusation is pinned on Cheng Xiao, he's doomed!

Jing Yuan wanted to clap and cheer on the spot. As expected of his master, the old-fashioned fighting style was ruthless.

Grandmaster Yaofeng yawned and asked listlessly:

"My good disciple, did you bring back any local specialties from your adventures to show your respect to your master?"

Cheng Xiao scratched his head awkwardly: "Uh... things are urgent, I forgot."

Yao Feng laughed and said, "Forgot? It's alright. I'm a reasonable person and I won't hold it against you."

Cheng Xiao was deeply moved. He never expected that his usually most troublesome master would be so tolerant at such a crucial moment. Was this the master's love?

"Kyoryu, it's time to discipline him. He came back with no local specialties, showing no respect for us. Let's just squeeze him dry, no more nonsense."

"What?! Master, that's not what you just said!"

"It's none of your business. I'm very annoyed. You know I was just testing you, right?"

Danfeng was overjoyed and quickly took out the key, saying:

"A private room in the basement, sir, please come in."

Cheng Xiao still wanted to struggle a bit more:

"Where is Bailu! I want to see Bailu. As a father, I should at least see my daughter when I get home!"

If Bailu could step in and say something kind, perhaps Chengxiao could be given a chance to make amends for the sake of the child.

Bai Lu appeared abruptly, ignoring Cheng Xiao's gaze, and said with great dissatisfaction:

"Father, go in peace. With you by Danheng's side, we'll just be stuck here on the Immortal Boat, feeling miserable. But it's alright, we don't care at all, really."

"No!!! You can't do this! I don't want to go to the basement! I don't want to go!"

Danfeng: "The basement has everything, all the amenities, why not go? I guarantee you'll be extremely comfortable there~"

"No! Even the toilet and bathroom are transparent; I have absolutely no privacy. I don't want that kind of life!"

......

Yanqing hugged the sword and hummed a song happily.

I heard that my grandmaster uncle has returned, and since I've been itching to practice lately, I quickly went to find my grandmaster uncle to spar a few times.

It was because Yanqing hadn't tasted her grandmaster's cooking in a long time that she was really craving it.

As soon as Yanqing arrived at the courtyard, he saw the five people riding in separate carriages.

"How could my grandmaster uncle have fallen into such a state? It's truly terrifying."

Bai Lu chuckled softly:

"My father has lived a life of constant anxiety, do you think he can ever reach the other side?"

Yanqing said with dissatisfaction:

"The elders are going too far. Grandmaster Uncle is free. How can they control him like this? If I weren't so lowly, I would have to speak up for Grandmaster Uncle."

Bai Lu looked at Yan Qing in horror, her pupils dilating violently, as if she had seen something indescribable.

"Yanqing, you...you...you! You actually..."

"What's wrong? Sister Bailu, why are you so easily startled?"

Bai Lu sighed and rubbed her forehead. "What's wrong with your Sword Master lineage?"

Fortunately, the lineage of those who uphold the Ming Dynasty is quite normal.

It looks like I'll be spending this short holiday in the basement.

Every time Fu Xuan visited Jing Yuan, he was politely refused.

"Oh dear~ Fu Qing, you're such a busy person, don't keep bothering your martial uncle~"

"I made a point of finishing up my important work these past few days, just so I could take some time to visit Mr. Cheng Xiao. But he's been so busy! That can't be right. I divined that he's clearly on vacation."

Jingyuan dodged the question and changed the subject:

"Fu Qing, the capable are often given more work. There are still some things to finish at my general's residence. Perhaps you could..."

"Absolutely not! Jingyuan, you haven't even finished your own work and you're already running home, now you want to push the blame onto me? You might as well just let me be the general!"

"Ahem, Fu Qing, I did have this plan, which is why I'm training you. Getting more involved with the general's affairs beforehand will be beneficial for your future succession."

"Stop making empty promises to me. As Qingque once said, 'What you can see but can't have is just a pie in the sky made by the leader.'"

Jing Yuan sneered inwardly. This little Qingque actually poisoned the hardworking Fu Qing with her lazy and unambitious mentality. He had to think of a way to get revenge.

"Anyway, Uncle-Master can't see any guests for the time being, so please leave."

"Hmph! Then tell Cheng Xiao that I, the Grand Diviner, have prepared tea and set up a seat at the Grand Diviner's Office, ready to welcome him at any time!"

After saying that, Fu Xuan turned and left.

Jing Yuan shook his head:

"Fu Qingna, you're still too young. You're always playing these girlish tricks, thinking you can get things done naturally and subtly. But your uncle is there for you. If you don't attack directly, these people in your family won't leave you a single scrap."

Danfeng's voice came from the basement inside the inner room:

"Jingyuan, the effects of the medicine have worn off. Go and get some more medicine."

"Okay~"
