Inside the spaceship, Lin Yuan dealt with some company matters, then looked at the spaceship drifting aimlessly in space, feeling somewhat helpless.

"When exactly...?"

The terminal suddenly beeped. Lin Yuan looked down and his eyes lit up. Jing Yuan had finally replied.

"Young friend, I apologize for not replying for so long. It is not that I have been negligent, but that I have been busy with official duties and have not had any free time. Luofu is currently holding the Starry Sky Martial Arts Ceremony, and I originally wanted to invite you to participate in the grand event, but I heard that you are busy with many things at the company, so I did not dare to bother you. Now that you have some free time, it is a good opportunity to have a chat."

"The Starry Sky Martial Arts Ceremony? Oh my god, how could I have forgotten about that?"

Lin Yuan suddenly realized that he had been so busy that he had lost his mind.

Just as I was about to reply, another private message arrived.

"Young friend, there is something I must make clear first. There are undercurrents and troubles brewing in Luofu, and this matter is related to your company. If you come, please be careful. Once you arrive in Luofu, do not delay and come to the Shence Mansion to see me immediately."

After staring at the screen for a moment, Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow.

It seems this trip to Luofu is going to be anything but peaceful. Whose fault is this?

..........

Chapter 368 Return to Luofu

The spaceship leaped out of orbit, and the enormous Luofu Immortal Ship came into view ahead.

Just like the last time I came, this magnificent celestial ship, Mingdi, is still patrolling the vast sea of ​​stars. Its exterior is intact, but its interior is turbulent.

After exchanging greetings with the Xianzhou Customs, the spaceship bearing the company logo entered the Jade Realm Gate and docked at the Star Chariot Sea Wharf.

Lin Yuan slowly stepped off the spaceship. Bright sunlight streamed down, and as he looked around, he could already sense the tense atmosphere.

A shadow, like a floating cloud, swept across the sky. Lin Yuan looked up and saw a colossal ship, its massive size obscuring the sky, slowly passing by.

Its ships were menacing, with countless giant cannons and various weapons protruding everywhere, seemingly to display its military might and to suppress the undercurrents of the immortal ships.

"This is the venue for the Starry Sky Martial Arts Ceremony, the Jingfeng Ship. Mr. Lin Yuan, welcome back to Luofu. General Jing Yuan has been waiting for you at the Shence Mansion for quite some time."

A woman's voice came from ahead. Lin Yuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw that Chang Qingzu, the strategist of the Divine Strategy Bureau, was already waiting there.

"Ms. Qingzu, it's been a long time." Lin Yuan nodded slightly.

"The Starry Sky Martial Arts Ceremony held in Luofu this time is a grand affair, demonstrating martial virtue. With such preparations, General Jingyuan must be extremely busy, right?"

He chuckled softly, his tone carrying a deeper meaning.

"Your Excellency has discerning eyes; please come with me."

Qingzhu remained calm and extended his hand in invitation.

……

We boarded the star raft and traveled in silence.

Lin Yuan savored the prepared fragrant tea, looking down through the drifting clouds at the bustling streets and alleys of the fairy boat below, where people lived in peace and contentment. Just as he was enjoying the view, a cold light suddenly caught his eye.

However, somewhere in the Immortal Boat Cave Heaven, in the streets and alleys, a group of Luofu Cloud Cavalry were locked in a fierce battle with several burly wolf soldiers. Amidst the flashing swords and the clash of blades, the buildings and facilities along the street were overturned and smashed, causing chaos.

Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed, and his gaze shifted slightly.

"Ms. Qingzu, why are there people named Bu Li appearing in the streets and alleys of Luofu right now?"

Upon hearing this, Qingzu was startled. She quickly went to the edge of the Star Chariot and looked down. After several glances, she finally spotted her target and was amazed by the incredible eyesight of the person before her.

She took out the jade tablet, communicated for a moment, and said in a serious tone:

"As the martial arts ceremony approaches, hidden dangers have emerged both inside and outside Luofu, attempting to sabotage this grand event. But please do not worry, esteemed guest, as the Immortal Ship has a general in charge, who has already taken care of everything."

"To calculate everything? That would be best."

Lin Yuan murmured, his teacup trembling slightly, a few drops of crystal-clear tea splashing out. A flash of white light, and the tea droplets transformed into streams of light, falling from the sky.

On the battlefield below, the wolf soldier Bu Li saw the cloud cavalry closing in, his eyes flashed with ferocity, his fangs bared, and he lunged straight at the civilians on the immortal boat.

But at that very moment, several beautiful beams of light fell precisely on their heads, and in an instant, several wolf soldiers burst apart from above, disappearing into the ground.

The hard bricks and stones were instantly pulverized, returning to dust along with Bu Liren, who turned into a blood mist.

The Cloud Riders' eyes, hidden beneath their armor, were filled with horror. They stared in disbelief at the scene before them.

The star raft sailed away, and Qingzhu remained oblivious. Remembering the general's instructions, she lowered her voice and said:

"Distinguished guest, we are approaching Shence Mansion. These are turbulent times in Luofu. Please remember to be careful with your words and actions."

Looking at the blue arrowhead, Lin Yuan bowed slightly, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes, and said calmly, "Of course."

……

The star raft slowly descended, and Lin Yuan stepped into the Shence Mansion, entering the hall under the watchful eyes of the Cloud Cavalry.

The familiar layout was still there, with wisps of smoke rising. On his high seat, General Shence rose to greet him upon his arrival.

All the official documents, strategists, and cavalrymen turned their gazes toward the newcomer.

Lin Yuan nodded to Jing Yuan, but his gaze fell on an old man with a pale face, white hair, and short stature standing to the side, and he understood.

If I'm not mistaken, this should be General Huaiyan from the Zhu Ming Immortal Ship. This meeting is indeed no ordinary one.

Upon seeing Lin Yuan arrive, Jing Yuan revealed a warm smile.

"Young friend, it feels like a lifetime has passed since we last met. I am overjoyed."

Lin Yuan cupped his hands slightly and smiled as well: "General, you are still as dashing as ever."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jing Yuan looked at Huai Yan. Zhu Ming's general, however, lowered his head and shook his head without saying a word.

Seeing the silence, Lin Yuan took the initiative to speak, his tone familiar.

"General Jingyuan, Luofu is holding the Starry Sky Martial Arts Ceremony, such a grand event, yet you didn't send me an invitation? Our friendship has really faded."

"Oh, young friend, please don't be offended. You've wronged me."

Jing Yuan shook his head and smiled helplessly.

"You were promoted to head of a department in Pierpoint, presiding over the Department of Statistics."

"Judging from this name, does it imply someone who rules over the entire company, ruling the world? Or someone who integrates company affairs and holds absolute power? Young friend, you certainly have great ambition. How dare I, from this small place in Luofu, disturb such a great figure as you?"

Upon hearing this, General Huaiyan suddenly raised his lowered head, looked at Lin Yuan, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

"General, you flatter me. Regardless of rank, General Jingyuan is always a good friend of mine, just like the friendship between the company and Luofu. After all, whether it's the God of Heaven's Restoration or the God of the Imperial Bow, aren't the people of the Immortal Ship all worshipping them as temple gods?"

Jing Yuan was slightly taken aback, but then he realized that Lin Yuan's words implied that he was being vouched for, and a smile appeared on his face.

"You're very kind, young friend." He paused, his expression gradually becoming serious.

"Ever since we defeated the Great Monarch Huanlong together, Luofu Immortal Ship has regarded the company as a friend. But now, there is something that may damage our bilateral relationship."

Lin Yuan's eyes flickered: "What is the general referring to?"

Jing Yuan sighed: "A batch of goods belonging to the company was attacked by the Bu Li people in the airspace of Luofu and was forced to come to Luofu for refuge. Luofu should supervise and inspect the goods entering the country."

Upon opening the cargo container, a large quantity of lethal machinery was discovered, exhibiting characteristics of both biological and mechanical processes. In accordance with regulations, Luo Fu seized these weapons. However, the company representative is now protesting outside the Si Chen Palace. Young friend, are you aware of this matter?

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment: "I didn't know. Although my current task is to manage global disasters, I should step in to resolve matters that affect our allies."

He raised his head, his gaze calm.

"General, please have that company representative come here. I need to see him."

Jing Yuan nodded slightly, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes.

"good."

……

Chapter 369 Unexpected Changes

At the summons of General Jingyuan, the company representative who was protesting outside Sichen Palace was soon invited to Shence Mansion.

"The general is already waiting for this guest of the company at his residence. Please follow me."

As the star raft landed, a tall, imposing company specialist stepped off and strode aggressively toward the Shence Mansion.

As the footsteps sounded, the company specialist, who had been arrogant and confident, instantly lost some of his swagger under the watchful eyes of the two rows of tall cloud riders and the cold glint of their gleaming swords.

Upon entering the hall, he looked up through the rising smoke and saw the legendary white-haired Shence General sitting in the main seat.

Not far from him, an elderly man and a young man sat quietly. Three pairs of gazes, each carrying its own imposing presence, fell upon the company representative, who instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

"This kind of imposing manner... goodness, this is trying to give me a hard time."

The visitor was a specialist from the market development department, responsible for escorting the goods.

According to the original plot, Scott should have been the commissioner in charge of this trip. However, since Lin Yuan transferred him from the Immortal Ship in advance and assigned him to Pinocchio, someone else has been chosen instead.

Despite the immense pressure, his position as a company specialist allowed him to maintain a semblance of composure. He glared at General Shence and loudly questioned:

"General Jingyuan, according to the trade agreement signed between Luofu and the company, why has your side detained our important goods without cause?"

Jing Yuan calmly replied, "According to the bilateral agreement, for dangerous items, Luofu must confirm that they have lost their lethality before they can be returned."

Upon hearing this, the company representative felt a pang of anxiety.

He had initially thought that Jing Yuan's meeting meant things had taken a turn for the better, but now, with the other party's attitude, it seemed they weren't planning to return the money. Weren't they just playing him for a fool?!

"Even if it's a weapon of mass destruction, it has nothing to do with the Immortal Ship Luofu! We weren't delivering goods to the Immortal Ship in the first place, but transporting them elsewhere. We were only forced to stop because of that damned Bu Liren's attack. This shipment wasn't intended to enter the country in the first place, so why is it being detained?"

"These are the rules of the Immortal Ship, and we hope you will understand." Jing Yuan said calmly.

"I understand, but the big shots up there don't!" the commissioner said anxiously.

“This batch of goods belongs to those scholars of the Bo Shi Society! If that’s the case, I’ll have to report it to headquarters. If that alarms the higher-ups, it will be difficult for both of us to explain ourselves.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that both Jing Yuan and the white-haired old man had turned their gazes toward the young man sitting quietly.

The commissioner glanced at the other party, and a thought struck him.

This person was not wearing the Immortal Ship's attire, but was dressed in casual clothes, yet his aura was no less than that of the Immortal Ship's general. Who is this person?

"You said this batch of goods belongs to the Bo Shi Society? Then you're from the technology research and development department?" the young man asked.

The specialist was taken aback, met the calm gaze, and subconsciously replied, "What technology research and development department? I'm from the market development department."
