Honkai Impact 3rd: The Girl Who Chases the Flame

Li Sushang said

"General Shence? I thought it was the blind general."

"That's because Lord Jingyuan usually seems so relaxed."

Li Sushang said

"The Seven Heavenly Generals of the Immortal Ship and Imperial Bow are known to all. They are General Fei Xiao, General Huai Yan, General Yao Guang, General Xuan Quan, General You Wu, and General Jing Yuan."

"And the other one is Marshal Hua?"

Melutina took another flatbread.

"That's for sure. Marshal, she's invincible. Even the six generals can only stand beside her."

Li Sushang said.

"Yes, Marshal Hua is naturally invincible."

Melutina automatically imagined a flat, gray-haired creature that had lived for thousands of years.

Moreover, she felt that she was probably right.

"Speaking of which, Miss Mei, your martial arts skills are so high, I wonder who your master is?"

Li Sushang suddenly asked.

"Me? I'd say I'm self-taught... and I'm not very good at martial arts, I just learned some self-defense techniques from a white-haired guy."

Melutina said.

"You don't know martial arts? But I saw that demonic figure slash you with a knife that day, and you were completely unharmed... I thought it was some kind of Iron Shirt technique."

Li Sushang said.

"Hmm... I have thick skin, it's fine."

Melutina stroked her chin.

"Speaking of which, isn't that Brother Jingyuan over there?"

"Hey?"

Upon hearing this, Li Sushang turned around abruptly and saw the junior commander of the Cloud Cavalry leading Jing Yuan and Yan Qing toward them.

"Oh, isn't this Miss Mei?"

Jing Yuan spotted them immediately and waved.

"General, Yunqi Suchang greets you!"

Unlike Melutina, Li Sushang was not so casual and quickly stood up and bowed.

"Su Chang? Oh, General Fei Xiao specifically mentioned it to me. You must work hard in Luofu and not let General Fei Xiao down."

After glancing at Su Chang a few times, Jing Yuan felt that this girl was truly a promising talent for swordsmanship.

Although it is not mature yet, it will surely become a great thing in time.

No wonder Fei Xiao values ​​her so much.

"Yes! Su Chang will definitely work even harder!"

Li Sushang quickly replied.

"..."

Yanqing then turned his gaze to Su Chang's sword and couldn't help but praise it.

"What a fine sword."

"This was given to me by my mother... I know that with my current skill level, I'm afraid I'm wasting the potential of this fine sword."

Li Sushang scratched her head.

"Miss Li is exceptionally talented; given time, she will surely master it."

Yanqing said.

"Then thank you for your kind words, brother."

Li Sushang cupped her hands and said.

"Don't be nervous. Miss Mei and I are good friends. There's no need for such formalities between friends."

Jing Yuan waved his hand.

“Perfect timing. Yanqing and I haven’t eaten yet either. Let’s take a look at the food at the Yunqi Army camp.”

After saying that, the group sat down around a small table.

"Does Brother Jingyuan often come to inspect the military camp?"

Melutina ordered a few more flatbreads and a bowl of mutton soup, and asked...

"I don't come here very often, after all, I'm busy with affairs. But I must come, because the lives of the soldiers in the camp are of utmost importance. If I don't come to inspect, I'm afraid some people will be greedy and cut back on the soldiers' food and pay."

Petty embezzlement may seem like a small matter, but it can have a significant impact on morale. Besides, my soldiers are risking their lives for me; I can't stand by and watch them suffer needlessly.

Jing Yuan said solemnly.

"They say one general, but what about the three armies again?"

Li Sushang wanted to respond, but he forgot his lines.

"It is the incompetence of one general that leads to the downfall of the entire army. Having a capable general like Brother Jingyuan is truly a blessing for Luofu and a boon for the alliance."

Melutina said.

"It seems that although Su Chang is diligent in practicing swordsmanship, her literary skills still need improvement."

Jing Yuan smiled faintly.

"But don't be impatient. These things can't be caught up in a day or two. But as a girl, Su Chang should read more books to improve her inner qualities and cultivation."

"General, what you're saying is true..."

Li Sushang's upbringing was undoubtedly good, but what's the use if she can't learn anything?

Chapter Nine: Records of Luofu (Part Eight)

As the saying goes, "If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening."

This was the first thing Fu Xuan said to Melutina.

"...Um, Lord Diviner, are you going to sacrifice yourself for your cause?"

Melutina, who was staying at the Tabernacle, was shivering while clutching her blanket.

Incidentally, she stayed in a guest room in Fu Xuan's courtyard.

"What are you thinking? I have a long future ahead of me, and I will become a Cloud Cavalry General in the future."

Fu Xuan said irritably.

"So, what do you mean, Your Excellency?"

Melutina asked hesitantly.

"I would like to talk about recent events."

Fu Xuan said,

"Let's start something."

"The way you're starting this is as if someone's dead."

Melutina rolled her eyes.

You're right.

Fu Xuan nodded.

"Someone did die."

"what?"

“There was a diviner in the Imperial Advisory Office named Tingxue.”

Fu Xuan continued speaking to himself.

"This diviner comes from an extraordinary background; she is a young lady from a prestigious family in Luofu, the kind of person I wouldn't dare to make things too difficult for even if I saw her normally."

"Your Excellency, do you still care about this?"

Although she didn't know why this topic came up, Melutina still complained.

"The main thing is that she didn't cause any trouble, and she doesn't have any of the arrogance of a young lady, so I naturally won't deliberately provoke her."

Regardless of the actual situation, Fu Xuan would definitely not back down verbally.

"I don't know why I wanted to come to the Temple of Divination."

"Isn't the abbotship a good way out?"

Melutina has always been outspoken.

Are you asking me that question?

Fu Xuan's lips twitched.

"The position of Grand Master of the Palace is certainly a good path, but it is only suitable for commoners."

"And what about those nobles?"

"Melutina asked."

"Naturally, it's a job with a good reputation, high income, and easy work. The Tabushi is somewhat related to the first two, but the last one is definitely completely unrelated."

Fu Xuan curled his lip.

"Oh, please continue, please continue."

"I don't know what's wrong with this Tingxue, she insists on coming to the Taibu Si. I originally didn't want to cause this trouble, so I set a problem to keep her out. I didn't expect that this pampered young lady would put so much effort into divination."

"I'm not the kind of person who's unreasonable. Since she could answer the question, I'll let her join."
