Starry Sky Railway: No one understands the Amber King better than me.

"May I ask the company's envoy, what is the purpose of this trip?"

"I came for peace."

This was the opening statement that Lin Yuan had originally prepared.

But at this moment, he changed his mind.

Lin Yuan stared intently at Yu Kong before him, and said softly, word by word:

"I came because of the existential crisis facing the Immortal Ship."

................

Chapter 175 Secret Talk

"I came here because of the crisis facing the Immortal Ship."

Lin Yuan's voice wasn't loud, but it was like a thunderclap, clearly resounding in everyone's ears.

Upon hearing this, not only did the expressions of the officials of Sichen Palace change drastically, but even Mu Zheng, who had come with Lin Yuan, was somewhat shocked.

This young man from headquarters really said something amazing!

Upon hearing this, Yu Kong's beautiful phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of frost appeared on her gentle face.

"The survival of the Immortal Ship... Company envoy, do you know the weight of these words?"

"of course."

Lin Yuan chuckled softly.

This preemptive strike proved effective. The momentum the opponent had built up was instantly suppressed.

"However, Lord Yukong, before answering your question, please allow me to introduce myself first. Otherwise, it would be impolite for you to keep addressing me as a company envoy."

He straightened his expression.

"I am Lin Yuan, P40 of the Market Development Department of Interstellar Peace Company. I have come to Xianzhou to assume the position of Special Representative for Xianzhou Affairs, and will be in full charge of all matters concerning the company in Xianzhou."

"Market Development Department?"

Yu Kong's heart stirred slightly, and his demeanor grew even colder.

After listening to Lin Yuan's introduction, she spoke without any expression.

"So, Representative Lin Yuan, could you please explain what you just said?"

"Of course, as an important member of the Pan-Galaxy Market, after hearing that Xianzhou was facing a threat from the Star Core, the company specially sent me to help Xianzhou overcome this crisis."

"I see."

Yu Kong's expression was calm, and his tone was polite but increasingly distant.

"Then please allow me to decline the company's assistance."

"Although the alliance has formed an alliance with the company, it is limited to areas such as trade. As for internal affairs of the Immortal Ship... the mere Star Core is something the alliance has its own way of dealing with."

The celestial vessel has sailed for eight thousand years, witnessing countless crises and near-death experiences. Although the current crisis is fierce, the celestial vessel has the capacity to handle it on its own, without needing to rely on external forces to resolve the matter.

"Oh, and what about the Star Core Hunter?"

Lin Yuan changed the subject.

“This is a wanted criminal by the Interstellar Peace Corporation, and the company should help him.”

He paused slightly.

"I've heard that the Immortal Ship has already captured one of the wanted criminals, known as 'Blade.' Could you share this information with us so we can wipe out this gang of thieves in one fell swoop?"

After listening, Yu Kong remained silent for a moment.

"The Star Core Hunter endangers the safety of the Immortal Ship. He is not only a wanted criminal in interstellar space, but also a serious criminal of our alliance."

"Leaving aside the fact that there is no relevant extradition agreement between Luofu and the company, this matter involves internal affairs of Alliance Security... so the company need not concern itself with it."

"Lord Yukong is right."

Lin Yuan nodded with a smile after hearing this.

"The Immortal Ship... is indeed as powerful as I imagined."

"Oh....."

Upon hearing this, Yu Kong couldn't help but chuckle.

"The spirit of the Immortal Ship has been forged through countless dangers and hardships. As for its strength, I think that's not something the customers from the market development department can comment on."

“That’s natural. After all, our Minister Oswaldo Schneider is registered as a high-risk individual in your alliance’s records.”

Yu Kong's gaze shifted slightly.

She looked at Lin Yuan, who was speaking so casually, and for a moment she didn't know how to respond.

"Ship Master, let's leave aside the topic we just discussed."

Lin Yuan suddenly became solemn, attracting Yu Kong's attention.

"The survival of the immortal ship that I am referring to is not these things."

"I have brought a gift for the Immortal Ship, which I believe is something you urgently need to know. I wonder if the Sky-Driving Commander can make that decision."

Before Yu Kong could react, Lin Yuan continued.

"According to the company's intelligence, in addition to the Star Core and the Star Core Hunter, there is another formidable enemy who is currently plotting a conspiracy related to the Immortal Ship."

According to you, it is related to the calamity of annihilation....."

Before Lin Yuan could finish speaking, Yu Kong's expression changed drastically.

She was about to interrupt when she heard hearty laughter from inside the room.

"Haha, I've long heard that a young and promising representative has joined the company. It seems that his reputation is well-deserved."

In the main hall of Sichen Palace, a holographic figure walked closer from afar.

The newcomer was a burly man dressed in the martial attire of the Yunqi Army.

A head of fluffy white hair fell naturally down his back, and a faint smile hung on his face.

"General Jingyuan—"

Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Yu Kong clearly breathed a sigh of relief.

The company representative, though young, was quite aggressive.

"As the saying goes, seeing is believing. Your extraordinary and refined aura is hard to find in Luofu. You must be General Jingyuan, one of the Seven Heavenly Generals of the Imperial Bow."

Seeing the smile on the face of the company's young representative, which was similar to his own, Jing Yuan was taken aback at first, then shook his head and chuckled.

"I never expected that I would be at a disadvantage in this verbal exchange."

The projection walked closer.

"Young friend Lin guessed correctly. I am Jing Yuan, the General of the Luofu Cloud Cavalry. Could you elaborate on what you just mentioned?"

"General, this is the internal affairs of the Immortal Ship..."

"Yes, yes, what the Skymaster said is absolutely right."

Jing Yuan narrowed his eyes, remaining calm and composed.

"However, since it is a company that has brought gifts, as the saying goes, 'A friend has come from afar,' and Xianzhou is a land of etiquette, we should naturally return the favor. However..."

The white-haired general paused in his speech.

"There are too many people here, let's find a quiet place."

.............

A moment later, in a place hidden behind a screen in the Sichen Palace, Lin Yuan and Jing Yuan's projections sat facing each other.

"I apologize, young friend Lin Yuan. I have urgent business to attend to and cannot meet you in person at this moment. It is a pity that we cannot share a cup of tea. You are welcome to visit my Shence Mansion later."

Seeing this, Lin Yuan smiled and nodded in agreement.

After some pleasantries, the two got down to business.

"Young friend Lin Yuan, may I ask what you were referring to just now?"

"I think the general has already guessed it."

Lin Yuan looked serious.

"But before that, I'd like to ask the general, is the Star Core Hunter still under the control of the Immortal Ship?"

"Oh, why do you say that?"

Jing Yuan gave him a deep look.

"General Jingyuan, there's no need to overthink it. The company has its own intelligence channels. Whether the Star Core Hunters are detained or released is the same to me. Even if you have some kind of agreement with them, it doesn't matter."

Lin Yuan said with a smile.

"Young friend, you flatter me. Everything on the Immortal Ship is naturally under the control of the Alliance."

Jing Yuan's expression remained unchanged, but his mind began to strategize.

"That would be best, then I'll just say it directly."

Lin Yuan's smile faded.

"I came here for two reasons: first, to help the Immortal Ship; and second, to hope that I can cooperate with Luofu in more ways, just like Yaoqing did."

Secondly, it's for the Star Core Hunter. Even with my current rank, the bounty and the rewards are truly tempting.

And finally, and most importantly…

Lin Yuan paused, keeping everyone in suspense.

"Young friend, you are quite straightforward..."

Jing Yuan glanced at him with a smile, but didn't rush to ask any questions.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan stopped hiding it.

"According to the company's reliable intelligence, a Great Lord of Annihilation is about to invade Luofu. My most important task on this trip is to reach a cooperation agreement with Luofu and the General."
