As the players laughed and talked, the scene changed to the Shen Ce Mansion.

Jing Yuan: "Mr. Fu, you heard my conversation with them. What are your thoughts?"

Fu Xuan: "What do you want to ask for my opinion? The laws of heaven are vast and profound, and the human heart is subtle. Do you want me to really tell these people's fortunes and predict their intentions?"

Player: Huh?

So, you never did any divination on the train set at all?

The protagonist guessed it right, Jingyuan said that on purpose.

Jingyuan chuckled.

"That's not necessary. The Star Train has nothing to do with this matter. I'm 90% sure of that."

"There's no need to delve into their intentions. As long as the bait is taken and the fish is caught, that's enough."

Fu Xuan: "This is my suggestion, General."

Jing Yuan nodded his chin: "Yes, yes, thanks to Mr. Fu's wisdom, everything from now on depends on you."

Then give me the general position right away, damn it!!!

Fu Xuan was going crazy.

But he remained calm on the surface and spoke in a calm tone.

"Hmph, then you should abdicate sooner rather than later."

Jing Yuan: "It's not the right time yet. If anything goes wrong, I will have to bear the responsibility as the general."

"Luofu is at the center of this conspiracy. If I leave now, wouldn't that put Mr. Fu in an unfair position?"

"It's your own fault. If you had handed the blade to me earlier, you wouldn't be having this trouble right now."

Fu Xuan curled his lips, his expression suddenly froze.

She thought of a possibility, her eyes widened rapidly, and blurted out.

"Could it be... Jing Yuan! Did you let the blade escape on purpose?!"

Chapter 155 Greedy Cat

"I?"

Jingyuan denied it.

"How can I predict the future like Lord Fu? The Cloud Cavalry failed to guard properly, and I am responsible."

Fu Xuan immediately felt relieved.

It's okay as long as you don't release them intentionally.

"Hmph, I understand. The Immortal Ship is full of complicated affairs, so it's inevitable that you'll be exhausted. If I weren't there to support you..."

"By the way, at the next Six Imperial Council, you should fulfill your promise to nominate me as the successor to the Shogun, right?"

Jing Yuan smiled and nodded.

"Yeah, okay, okay, got it."

"I have important matters to attend to, so I'll leave everything to the gifted Mr. Fu."

Seeing his attitude, Fu Xuan's face darkened.

No more nonsense, just cut off the communication.

This is really too much. How many times have I been perfunctory with her?

Seeing Fu Xuan's projection disappear, Jing Yuan sighed lightly.

"The troubles on Luofu, the paperwork on the desk, the weeds in the flowerbed..."

"These are the only three things I can't clean no matter how hard I try."

Yan Qing: "General, everyone knows that Fu Taibu wants to take your place."

Jing Yuan: "She is quite capable, but her mindset needs further refinement. When her stubborn nature fades, I'll probably consider retirement."

Having said that, he looked at Yan Qing meaningfully.

Unfortunately, I didn’t see what I wanted to see on Yanqing’s face.

oops……

Not only Fu Qing, but his own apprentice also lacks a lot in terms of mental ability.

But the apprentice is still young and has plenty of time.

In this chaotic period, it would be a good thing if someone could give Yan Qing some strength and make him suffer some losses and hardships.

Yan Qing didn't understand Jing Yuan's hidden meaning at all, and said arrogantly:

"The star core thing isn't that troublesome, but as for the guy who got away, we can just catch him back."

"General, give the order and Yanqing will immediately help you solve your problems."

Jing Yuan's eyes rolled slightly.

"I know you're anxious and want to do something, but now is not the time."

"If you want to be the Sword Master, you can't act arbitrarily, especially not in a fight with a serious criminal."

Yan Qing was a little anxious: "General, do you think I will lose to that Blade?"

When he first entered the battle, he cut off the head of Fangfeng, a beast created by the Fengrao people, with one sword, causing the enemy to be defeated and achieving victory without a fight.

Fang Feng was a huge man who could crush the army formation like an ant, but he couldn't even survive a single blow against him.

During the subsequent hunting expedition on distant stars, he even broke Bu Liren's Greedy Wolf Iron Formation and killed three Nest Fathers.

Fierce battles with Wingmakers, sinking the cloud-blanking ship that blocks out the sun, and so on...

However, these are just small footnotes he left behind.

He is not afraid of powerful and fertile monsters, so why would he be afraid of a tiny star core hunter?

Jing Yuan saw Yan Qing's impetuousness and taught him patiently and earnestly.

"I want you to be patient, Yanqing. Xianzhou Zhiping is different from swordsmanship."

"Only by taking it slow and steady can we build momentum. Besides, the hidden mastermind in this chess game hasn't been revealed yet..."

"As long as this mystery remains unsolved, the game will remain at a stalemate."

"—Star Core!"

"How did it manage to sneak into Luofu, bypassing the Tianbosi's inspections and the Taibusi's deductions? And where was it placed?"

Yan Qing: "In my opinion, if we capture the two Star Core Hunters and send them to Fu Taibu, are we still worried that we won't be able to uncover their intentions?"

Jing Yuan: "I have already asked someone to do this, don't worry."

"Who did you ask?"

"You came back halfway and just missed them. They were a group of...how should I describe it? Good people who did good things for us?"

Jing Yuan knew Yan Qing's personality very well, so he just smiled and didn't elaborate.

"Anyway, I personally don't think they'd have any ill intentions towards Luofu."

"Perhaps... they were all chess pieces forced onto the chessboard..."

"They are the most suitable ones to handle the Star Core Hunter matter. Once the overall situation is settled, you will have your place."

"You are the person I trust the most. There are some things I can only feel at ease if I entrust them to you. Yanqing, what happens next..."

Jing Yuan tilted his head, his words were interrupted instantly, and a helpless smile flashed across his face.

"This child..."

"Three feet of water have been hidden in the box for a long time. When will I be able to test its sharpness? Haha..."

"I'm afraid the setback he'll suffer this time will be greater than his arrogance."

……

Return to Liuyun Ferry.

Yan Qing stared at the cold moonlight falling from the sky, his pupils reflecting a hint of coldness.

The terrifying oppressive aura almost made it impossible for him to breathe.

The mysterious woman named Jingliu is so powerful.

Just one sword in the moonlight almost made him lose the courage to fight.

He finally understood why the general had told him not long ago not to be impatient and to be patient.

Lingzhou shifted his gaze away from the moonlight.

There is nothing false in the offensive. Once implemented, Yan Qing's life can be easily taken.

but--

As long as you have the courage to move forward fearlessly, the moonlight will be able to be controlled freely.

To be precise, the mirror flow can be freely controlled.

It’s hard to say about Mo Yin’s condition, but he is awake now, so there will definitely be no problem.

"Young man, you won't be crushed, will you?"

This sword is not meant to kill you, but to guide you...

Yan Qing gritted his teeth, and the sword in his hand suddenly condensed and shone brightly.

He let out a battle cry, gathered all his strength and poured it into the sword, then swung out a sword energy head-on.

At this moment, Jingliu's mouth corners curled up slightly.

The moonlight collided with the sword energy, and the former was cut in half, scattering into countless icy fragments.

However, the residual power it carried still made it difficult for Yan Qing to stand up straight. He gasped for breath and had no time to pay attention to his surroundings.

Lingzhou smiled and threw the incense burner in his hand towards Jingliu.

Jingliu collected his sword and caught it steadily.

"Thank you for your consultation, sir."

After she finished speaking, she left a message on the ground, and then reached out to Yan Qing to take away something that revealed Blade's whereabouts.

[I offer this sword as a token of my gratitude. We have a deep bond and will continue our relationship someday.]

It took a while for Yanqing to recover.

"I...I took her sword?"

"I'll take it. Don't worry, you are intact." Ling Zhou narrowed his eyes.

Yan Qing glanced around subconsciously, "Where's she?"

"I took something from you and left. Oh, yes, I think I left a message for you on the ground."

Yan Qing quickly looked at the ground, and a hint of understanding flashed across his childish face.

The rhythm of that sword...

But what does it mean to have a deep connection?

He didn't remember having any contact with the other party.

"Brother Yanqing, are you still going to chase that fugitive named Ren?"

"Jingliu obviously meant it when she didn't take you with her. If you can't beat her, you can't beat Ren either."

Hearing Lingzhou's words, Yanqing bit his lower lip.

"not going."

“Sometimes it is wise to retreat when faced with difficulties…”

"I'm going to go back first and get the best sword before setting off again!"

The corners of Lingzhou's mouth froze.
