After General Tianji finished speaking, he paused, and his tone softened:
"How about this, next time you come to Yaoqing, I'll treat you to a meal at the best restaurant, how about that?"
After hearing this, Lin Yuan poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Fei Xiao.
"In that case, there's always time to have a cup of tea."
"Yes, we do have that, but I prefer something stronger than tea," Fei Xiao said with a smile as he took the teacup.
"General, your alcohol tolerance is..."
Jiaoqiu, listening from the side, felt somewhat helpless. "Big sister, can't you have a little self-awareness?"
This fox-man general's drinking capacity can be summed up in one sentence: he's a glutton and loves to drink.
"It's alright!" Fei Xiao waved his hand.
"I ran into a colleague today and discovered traces of my nemesis. As the art of war says, 'Before slaying the enemy, a few sips of wine are always a good idea!'"
"Unfortunately, I don't have any wine here," Lin Yuan said, shrugging.
"I do!"
Fei Xiao smiled and took out his gourd, poured the tea from Lin Yuan's cup onto the ground, then refilled it with wine, and gently tapped it with the gourd.
"Let's do it!"
After saying that, she picked up the gourd and started drinking it down in large gulps.
Liquor spilled from the corner of his mouth, and a slight blush appeared on Fei Xiao's face.
Lin Yuan reluctantly took the teacup, looked at the clear liquid in the cup, and then drank it all in one gulp.
The strong liquor goes down the throat, leaving a lingering and satisfying aftertaste; it is truly a fine liquor.
"That was great! Well... I'll take this pepper with me."
Feixiao's voice sounded slightly drunk. She put away the gourd and grabbed Jiaoqiu by the back of the collar.
"Then I wish General Tianji a triumphant return." Lin Yuan cupped his hands in greeting.
Let's have a meal together again next time.
"Haha, maybe we should fight each other next time!" Fei Xiao pointed at Lin Yuan and grinned heartily.
"By the way, the martial arts ceremony is about to begin. If you have some free time, you can go and enjoy the martial arts spirit of my immortal ship."
Having said that, Feixiao said no more, grabbed Jiaoqiu by the back of his collar, and transformed into a streak of light, rushing into the sky.
Watching the light streak across the sky, the person in charge of the celestial vessel was somewhat moved.
"My lord, I never expected... that Yao Qing's Heavenly Strike General would be like this."
"Hehe, with such a temperament, she's easy to get along with."
Lin Yuan withdrew his gaze and muttered to himself.
"The martial arts ceremony... let's go take a look."
..........
Chapter 378 Boarding the Ship
The starship pierced through the sea of clouds and slowly sailed toward the Competition Ship.
Lin Yuan leaned against the railing, with several outstanding employees of the company sitting beside him in Luofu.
Most of these people were locals who had been promoted from the Xianzhou branch, and they were far more familiar with the rules of Xianzhou than Lin Yuan was.
They were discussing the upcoming martial arts ceremony with great enthusiasm, their faces filled with anticipation.
"Supervisor, I heard that quite a few prominent figures have attended this martial arts ceremony, such as the Little Sword Master of Luofu, the Swordsman of Zhu Ming, and the Nameless Pioneer..."
"Not only that, I've also heard of many other powerful figures renowned throughout the universe, like the Neutron Swordsman and the Magnetic Field Master. But if you ask me, no matter how strong these people are, they can't compare to our company's mechs, haha."
Listening to his subordinates' casual conversation, Lin Yuan's lips curled up slightly.
He knew very well that the real highlight of this martial arts ceremony was the most anticipated part.
The silhouette of the Jingfeng ship gradually magnified in the field of vision.
This majestic ship stretches across the sky, its originally heavily armed weaponry now adorned in celebratory finery.
Five-colored flags fluttered above the ship, and the booming sound of cannons could be heard from afar, making it seem solemn and grand.
The Starship finally docked in the hangar of the Competition Ship, and Lin Yuan led his men out.
People dressed in various styles moved about, while armored Yunqi soldiers stood guard, vigilantly scanning everyone who passed by.
"You are... Lord Lin Yuan?"
A slightly surprised young voice came from the side.
Lin Yuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young man walking quickly towards him.
He walked with a light step, dressed in a neat and smart outfit, and the sharpness between his brows had faded, replaced by a more reserved demeanor.
"Isn't this Yanqing Xiaowei? Long time no see. Judging from your appearance, you've been through a lot of training lately."
Lin Yuan nodded.
"You flatter me, sir." Yanqing smiled shyly and bowed with his hands clasped.
"After your guidance last time, Yanqing finally understood the saying that there are always people more capable than you and there is always something beyond your understanding. I have benefited greatly from this experience and have always wanted to thank you."
Lin Yuan looked him up and down and found that the boy's temperament had changed a lot.
The once sharp and spirited young guard is now more like a blade hidden in its sheath. Though he remains calm, he harbors deadly intent.
"Heh, he's grown up now. Jingyuan should be quite happy."
Lin Yuan patted the other person's shoulder with satisfaction, thinking to himself.
"Jingyuan's successor has grown up, so can he work for me now?"
A strange thought flashed through his mind, and he asked instead, "What are you doing here?"
"Yanqing is here on duty. The general has ordered us to prevent suspicious persons from boarding the Jingfeng ship and to guard against thieves causing trouble."
"Making trouble?" Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow, about to speak, when he heard a clear female voice.
"Hey, Brother Yanqing, what are you doing here? And who is this person?"
Lin Yuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a barefoot girl tilting her head and looking him up and down.
She was dressed in a Ming Dynasty style outfit, with a round face and short hair. Her upturned cat-like mouth, combined with her delicate eyebrows and eyes, gave her a mischievous and lively air.
She looked younger than Yanqing, but she had a stubborn and unyielding spirit.
"Yun Li, you mustn't be rude. This is a distinguished guest from the Interstellar Peace Company."
Yanqing quickly gestured to the girl with her eyes, then introduced her to Lin Yuan:
"Your Excellency, this is Miss Yun Li, the granddaughter of General Huai Yan of Zhu Mingxianzhou. She has come with the Zhu Ming delegation to attend the ceremony."
Yun Li blinked, looked Lin Yuan up and down, and curled her lip: "A distinguished guest of the company? Doesn't look that impressive."
"Hmph, with your limited vision, you naturally cannot see the depth of Lord Lin Yuan's abilities. Our level is not even comparable to his."
"Ha, that's because you're too inexperienced. If you're no good, don't blame the road for being uneven, you defeated opponent."
"Who is the defeated opponent!"
Yanqing was furious, and the composure she had just displayed vanished instantly.
Lin Yuan watched the two children bickering with great interest, and looking at Yun Li, who was standing with her hands on her hips and turned her head away, he couldn't help but tease her:
"Young lady, let me ask you a question. I just had tea with General Huaiyan, and we considered each other equals. So, what should you call me?"
"You consider yourself an equal to my grandfather?" Yun Li asked with a suspicious expression.
"You're lying. My grandfather is so old, how could you look so young?"
"Pfft, Yun Li, that's just how it is. Just think about it honestly."
Yanqing, not wanting to miss out on trouble, revealed a despicable smile.
"What's it to you? And you, if you laugh at me again, I'll bite you!"
Yun Li puffed out her cheeks, her face flushed red; the blush on the young girl's face outweighed everything else.
After a while, watching Yan Qing being dragged away by Yun Li and his figure fighting in the corridor, Lin Yuan shook his head.
"This young man must go through trials and tribulations before he can hold up the sky."
But his expression immediately turned strange.
"I hope Brother Yanqing won't get electrocuted by that old man Huaiyan."
......
After this brief incident, Lin Yuan continued leading his group toward the event venue.
But to his surprise, after taking only a few steps, he heard a familiar commotion behind him.
"March, slow down. This place is so big, what if you get lost?"
"We won't get lost. Besides, our two masters have something to tell us. The martial arts ceremony is about to begin, so we have to hurry!"
Lin Yuan turned around and saw Xing and Sanyue emerging from around the corner, one in front of the other.
Xing walked lazily ahead, while the usually energetic March seemed to be sighing.
"Star, March 7th," Lin Yuan greeted.
"Hey, Brother Lin!" Upon seeing the person approaching, Xing's eyes lit up, and she rushed over in a few steps.
"Brother Lin, I said last time that we would definitely run into each other at the next stop. Are you right? Since that's the case, I bet we'll definitely run into each other again next time."
"I can tell you, the train crew has already voted and decided on the next stop. It's a place called Onphalus, and I heard even Aquivilli hasn't been there!"
Lin Yuan's expression froze for a moment, then he gave her a deep look:
"That's pretty accurate. Hopefully, we can meet again next time. If we can't, try calling my name; maybe I can hear you?"
Looking at Xing's cheerful expression, Lin Yuan glanced at March standing to the side:
