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

Lin Yuan's tone was persuasive and enticing. He chuckled softly:

"At that time, everyone will call you... Boss Qing."

"Oh dear, no, no, Mr. Lin."

"Chief Qing".

"No, no, you mustn't, Mr. Lin."

Upon hearing this address, Qingque covered her face with her hands in embarrassment, but the corners of her mouth, which were not covered, were turned up high, stretching all the way to her ears.

"call--"

A moment later, the girl let out a long sigh.

"...It feels like a dream, this is...this is too good to be true!"

Qingque's eyes widened, and a glittering starlight appeared in her bright eyes.

Her excitement was palpable, but that excitement quickly turned to suspicion, and she asked softly:

"Mr. Lin, you're not lying to me, are you?"

"Oh, so, do you hope it's true or false?"

"Of course it is..."

Qingque was about to speak when she suddenly stopped mid-sentence.

His usually carefree expression revealed a rare hint of inner turmoil.

"...How should I put it?" She scratched her head.

"Although such a wonderful life choice is right in front of me, I'm still a little reluctant to part with the old lady, hehe."

"As a diviner in the Grand Diviner's Office, you should know the principle that opportunity knocks but once, and once it is gone, it will never come again."

I can tell you this opportunity is real, and it won't come again soon. So, think about it.

"........."

Qingque lowered her eyes and remained silent for a long time.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, I won't be going to that company."

After a short while, she spoke with difficulty.

"Life certainly offers many choices. I don't have any grand ambitions, but I understand one principle: when it's time to make a choice, just follow your heart."

The struggle disappeared, and a relieved smile appeared on Qingque's face.

"Hehe, I did a divination for myself this morning, and it said my luck is very good. It seems that my benefactor is you, Mr. Lin."

I think whatever choice I make, fate won't lie.

Seeing Qingque's classic scratching-head-and-smiling expression again, Lin Yuan looked at her calmly without saying anything.

"Since you've refused, then so be it. Take this business card. Someone will push forward the cooperation regarding the Imperial Jade, but all the benefits we discussed before... are gone."

"Oh, it's nothing, it's nothing!"

Qingque took the business card, a hint of heartache flashing across her face. She then wiped the card clean and carefully put it away.

Putting everything else aside, just look at that expensive quality; it'll make you look incredibly prestigious.

"in addition--"

A strange smile appeared on Lin Yuan's usually indifferent face.

"I've already informed the diviner about your slacking off. I suppose that person is looking for you right now?"

Upon hearing this, Qingque's pupils trembled.

"President Lin, this isn't a fair way to settle personal scores!"

Seeing Qingque hurriedly leave, Lin Yuan chuckled.

This fortune teller, who could so readily give up a high salary and generous benefits, must have something else that the Grand Diviner couldn't bear to part with.

Since that's the case, we should naturally help them deepen their relationship.

In a good mood, Lin Yuan took a few more steps, then paused.

Before he knew it, he had left the bustling place of playing cards and arrived at an open area.

A vast and endless sea of ​​clouds appeared ahead, and at the edge of the platform was a small pavilion called "Ruomu Pavilion".

Lin Yuan stood before the sea of ​​clouds, his gaze drawn to the gigantic shadow that loomed faintly in the mist.

This is the perfect spot for the celestial ship to gaze upon the ancient immortal traces. The objects in the distance seem within reach, yet are separated by vast distances.

"Ah, this is the Jianmu tree. Even in its decay, it is still so magnificent and grand, isn't it?"

Lin Yuan's gaze shifted slightly, and he saw a man from the Immortal Boat dressed in a blue long robe walking up behind him with a sigh.

He didn't reply, but just looked at the other person quietly.

"This guest from afar must have traveled from the vast sea of ​​stars, drawn by this source of endless lifespan. Do you... yearn for immortality?"

Seeing the strange, eccentric expression and bizarre, fanatical tone on the newcomer's face, Lin Yuan smiled faintly:

"There are many things I crave in this galaxy: wealth, status, power. What... can you bring me?"

"I understand! This is the desire for immortality."

"The strange man sighed."

"With immortality, you have an infinite lifespan to pursue everything you want. Right? Immortality is the most powerful force in the world."

He suddenly lowered his voice.

"Esteemed guest, we offer this opportunity for immortality to those beyond the reach of civilization. But once you arrive, you will likely discover..."

The strange man's voice became deep and cold.

"The Immortal Ship Alliance doesn't care about the well-being of short-lived species at all! They stubbornly forbid the glorious path to immortality!"

"You can call me Bai Yueji. I have come to Changletian hoping to meet someone like you who is destined to meet me, and to ascend to the path of immortality together."

"How about we go somewhere to talk in detail?"

"White Moon Rose, that's an interesting name."

Lin Yuan looked at the other person with a half-smile.

"A name is just a code. You can call me whatever you want if you need to. We are just ordinary seekers on the Immortal Ship, sticking together for warmth under its oppression."

"What if I told you the secret techniques of the Medicine King, wouldn't you explode?"

Lin Yuan thought to himself, but still nodded slightly. Bai Yueji's expression brightened upon seeing this.

"Have you figured it out? In that case, we shouldn't stay here any longer. Let's get going."

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

"Valiant Guard!"

"Greetings, Valiant Guard!"

At Changletian Wharf, Yanqing's starship had just arrived.

In order not to alert Lin Yuan and his group, he deliberately avoided the Star Chariot's schedule.

But before that, he had already contacted Chang Le Tian's Yunqi garrison with the target's characteristics through Yu Zhao.

"Gentlemen, have you spotted the target?"

"Lord Xiaowei, the targets are all under our surveillance."

Yunqi clasped his hands and reported.

"Is there anything unusual?"

"Well... if anything is unusual, it's that the group dispersed after wandering around for a while."

We suspected they might have been discovered being watched and deliberately dispersed. To avoid alerting them, the brothers mainly followed the young leader you mentioned, and sure enough, they found something!

"Oh, what was discovered?"

Yanqing's eyes lit up.

"The man lingered at the mahjong table in the Imperial Palace for a long time before leaving with a young girl. After investigation, we discovered that the girl was actually a diviner from the Imperial Divination Bureau."

"They've already started infiltrating Tabusi? The people in this company really have grand ambitions!"

Yanqing's gaze turned serious.

"and then?"

“That man was just gazing at Jianmu from near Ruomu Pavilion, and our brothers are keeping an eye on him.”

Yunqi paused abruptly as he spoke.

He picked up the vibrating jade tablet on his body, and his expression changed after seeing the contents on it.

"Lord Xiaowei, a fellow soldier just reported that the young man and a person dressed in celestial vessel attire left along the alley, seemingly heading to do something shady. Should we... report this to the Shence Prefecture?"

"It's too late."

Yanqing held his sword, his eyes flashing with sharpness.

"Tell me your location, and then send someone to inform the general... Say that Yanqing has made a major discovery. I will go ahead first, and whatever schemes or plots may be involved, Yanqing will surely thwart them with his sword!"

"Lord Xiaowei!"

"No need to say more, as a member of the Cloud Cavalry Guard, Yanqing has an inescapable responsibility for the safety of Luofu."

After saying this, the young man accepted the jade tablet.

In a flash, he exerted force with his feet, and his figure rose into the air without any visible movement.

Stepping off the eaves, the young guard sped off into the distance.
