However, for Lingmo, the most important news was probably another piece of news—as she expected, Tingyun was indeed assigned as the liaison between the Starry Sky Train and the Starry Sky Train, responsible for handling all matters related to the Starry Sky Train on the Immortal Ship.

 "What should we do... It seems like we can't shake off Miss Tingyun?"

 Back in the guest rooms arranged for them by the fairy boat, March looked at Lingmo with a worried expression. Although she hadn't noticed it at first, after Lingmo finished speaking, she also began to pay attention to Tingyun's every move.

 Although it's hard to guarantee that the naive Little March won't give herself away, it doesn't really matter considering that someone like her is generally not taken into account by those who plan things out.

 Lingmo only needs to listen to Xiaosanyue's prophetic plan, while Huanlong, whose plan was completely wiped out by Sanyue, has many more things to consider.

 "After all, given the impending storm, it's only natural that the Immortal Boat wouldn't trust us and would send someone to accompany us."

 Walter looked out the window: "However, it's quite a coincidence that Miss Tingyun is still with us. After all, it's not hard to tell from Jingyuan and Yukong's words that Miss Tingyun's strange behavior doesn't seem to be at their behest."

 "It's alright, let her come if she wants. You can handle Kaffa from now on."

 Suzumo, who had been playing with her drone since returning to her room, suddenly looked up and scanned her surroundings warily.

 "Uh... Suzumo, what are you doing?"

 Hoshino, with half her body nestled on Suzumo's lap, stared blankly at Suzumo, who had suddenly started acting as a radar.

 "It's nothing, I was just using my ability to check if there were any listening devices in our room... It seems that Xianzhou is quite law-abiding."

 "Back to the topic we were talking about... You go find Kafka, while I'm going to Liuyun Ferry."

 "Is there something urgent?"

 Walter asked疑惑地问道, "Or did you find something, Suzumo?"

 "It's not that it's important... it's just that I found an acquaintance in Liuyun Ferry, oh no... now maybe two."

 "Out of concern for the safety of one of my acquaintances, I have to go and keep an eye on things in case anything goes wrong. Although Liuyun Ferry is now sealed off, it's still easy for someone like Silver Wolf to project a data clone over there."

 "Okay, okay, stop with the riddles!"

 Little March's cheeks were puffed up, like a little steamed bun: "You keep saying I'm stupid, and you always say half of what you mean. What, you have a problem with me?"

 "How could that be? Little March is so cute!"

 Lingmo smiled and poked March's cheek, listening to the girl make a "pfft" sound, and laughed, "Actually, one of the acquaintances is the cold-faced little green dragon in our car."

 "This guy is probably really worried, so he came down again. Considering what Dan Heng said about his unpleasant past on the Immortal Ship, he probably needs a hacker and an intelligence liaison."

 "I understand hackers, but intelligence liaisons refer to..."

 "Take a look at your terminal."

 Lingmo took out her phone and woke up the screen: "All other functions are normal, but the communication is locked and I can't send messages... Of course, this method is not very useful to me."

 "I see. Suzumo is as thoughtful as ever, so..."

 Valte nodded: "Didn't you just say you had two acquaintances? One is Danheng, and the other is...?"

 "Well, how should I put it? Since I don't know his name, I can only give you a rough description. I believe that if it's Uncle Yang, he should be able to understand who I'm talking about right away."

 Lingmo gave a somewhat strange smile and then uttered a few keywords.

 "Blonde, male, tall, handsome, platinum and gold hair, carrying a coffin, speaking politely, and..."

 Suzuma made a gesture with her arms outstretched that Walter was very familiar with: "I love doing this gesture."

 "..."

 Walter remained silent for several seconds.

 "I think I know who you're talking about... Please keep a close eye on Danheng and make sure nothing goes wrong."

 "And please feel free to contact me if needed."

 "Uncle Yang's expression... suddenly became very serious."

 March gently poked Xingbao: "Xingbao, why do I feel like we've accidentally entered a high-level game?"

 "It's ok."

 Xing remained optimistic as always: "With the players from the prison leading us, there shouldn't be any major problems."

 Since they had decided to split up, Walter and the other two naturally didn't linger. Walter carried his things, while March dragged Hoshi, who was reluctant to leave Lingmo's arms. The three of them quickly arrived downstairs.

 "Oh, where's Miss Suzumo?"

 Tingyun looked left and right but couldn't see the little pink-haired girl she had been longing for (though this was uncertain), so she asked with a puzzled look.

 "Lingmo...is feeling unwell and needs to rest."

 Walter remained expressionless and said quite naturally, "After all, there are many special races in the universe, and Miss Lingmo happens to be one of them. She sleeps about twice as much as the other young people on the train every day... Well, we're just going to investigate now, so losing one person shouldn't be a problem, right? If necessary, I'll go and report to General Jingyuan?"

 "Ah, my benefactor is too kind."

 Hearing that Walter was quite serious about the matter, Tingyun quickly smiled and said, "You have all come from afar and are guests, so it's no big deal for you to rest. Since Miss Lingmo is not feeling well, let her sleep a little longer."

 "Come, my benefactors, this way. We've actually made some deductions about Kafka's whereabouts..."

 Seemingly because Huanlong herself felt that her attention to Lingmo was a little too obvious, the fox-girl immediately stopped asking questions and instead led the others to begin an investigation.

 ……

 "Phew...finally left."

 After watching the four people leave from the window, Lingmo breathed a sigh of relief.

 The main reason was the immense pressure from having a powerful, envoy-level being constantly watching him, coupled with Xiao Sanyue's prophecy...

 It was as if Xiahou Dun was looking at Louis XVI—he couldn't see the end of him at a glance.

 "Then now..."

 A strange light, alternating between purple and pink, began to emanate from Lingmo's hands: "Let's create a data clone first."

 Meanwhile, on the other side...

 [Star, March, Bellflower, where are you? I'm coming to join you.]

 [Message failed to send.]

 "...Are all signals completely blocked?"

 Dan Heng sighed, his brows furrowing even deeper.

 Ever since he learned that Ren was also on the Immortal Ship, he had a constant feeling of unease, as if... his past was relentlessly chasing after him, and he was completely unprepared.

 [Beep beep——]

 Just then, Danheng's communication device suddenly rang.

 【Hey...didn't you notice that the message that failed to send was sent by me? This is a trick that even a mistress couldn't fool!】

 "?"

 Dan Heng blinked blankly and looked at the screen again.

 Sure enough, above the message that failed to send was a picture of Lingmo.

 "Uh...sorry, I'm a little flustered right now. What's the situation on your end?"

 It's a long story. Anyway, I'll send my clone over to you first and then we can talk about it slowly. We can wait until we meet up, because there are some unclear situations on our end too.

 After a message popped up, Danheng's terminal instantly flew out of his hand, and then Lingmo's figure gradually took shape along with strands of pink crystals that seemed to condense out of thin air.

 "Phew... This is the first time I've used this ability. I'm sorry, Danheng. It's just that this body is too fragile. I was afraid that you might overreact and I'd just stab you into pieces with one shot."

 Lingmo chuckled and then led the way.

 "Let's go, turn right ahead. There are two people not far away, a Cloud Rider and a mysterious guy... Luofu is under full martial law now, and you'll easily be questioned if you're alone. So, let's follow that Cloud Rider girl."

 "Follow the Cloud Cavalry..."

 Dan Heng looked puzzled: "Wouldn't that make it easier to be questioned?"

 “It’s different. That Yunqi girl is a bit silly… she seems to be about the same level as Xiao Sanyue.”

 "Then let's go."

 Based on his complete trust in the March type of intelligence, Danheng immediately agreed to Lingmo's suggestion.

 "Row……"

 Lingmo made a slurping sound: "Let me tell you about what happened on our way."

 "Okay, but what are you doing..."

 "Eat breakfast, I mean the main body."

 Lingmo's projection started chewing: "Don't ask why we're only eating breakfast now that it's almost noon. Someone's treating us, so why not take advantage of it?"

 "...let's go."

 Danheng sighed helplessly, while Lingmo's projection began chattering about the experiences of the previous four-person group.

 However, on the other side...

 "Miss Lingmo, have you finished dealing with your chores?"

 "Yes, I'm sorry to have kept the general waiting."

 Lingmo put down the terminal and smiled, "And... thank you for the treat, General. The morning tea shops in Luofu are truly unique."

 "Hahaha... I'm glad Miss Lingmo likes it. This dim sum restaurant is my first choice when I'm slacking off at work. In fact, I just happened to run into this distinguished guest who was strolling around when I was about to go out to slack off. I, the Immortal Boat General, am quite embarrassed. So, I can only bribe Miss Lingmo with a delicious meal."

 Jingyuan greeted them with a smile and added some more pastries to the table for the two of them.

 As for whether he really just happened to run into Lingmo while slacking off, or whether he came with the intention of testing this nameless guest who stayed behind... well, that goes without saying.

 "Slacking off..."

 Lingmo smiled slightly: "General Jingyuan has been in this position for hundreds of years, hasn't he? It's rare to find someone with such a youthful mindset."

 "Miss Lingmo is too kind. To be able to sit in the position of general for so long and maintain a good mindset, there must be some secrets involved."

 "Oh?"

 Lingmo asked with some curiosity.

 "When we were at Sichen Palace just now, did Miss Lingmo notice my packed schedule?"

 "Uh……"

 Lingmo thought carefully for a moment: "I don't think I saw it..."

 "That's right, I didn't see it either."

 Jing Yuan revealed a sly smile and nodded: "This is my secret."

 Chapter 161 Lingmo: Laojing, why do you look like you're about to attend your last lesson?

 "So, this is the general's secret to longevity? Hahaha..."

 It must be said that having sat in the position of general for so long, Jing Yuan is indeed quite capable. At least, the atmosphere was enlivened by the two men's few words.

 "However, in that case, Fu Xuan Taibu, as the general's deputy, will probably have a very tough time."

 "Hey—it's not hard, it's just necessary training."

 Jing Yuan waved his hand generously on Fu Xuan's behalf: "If Fu Qing wants to take over my position, he needs a long period of experience to build up his reputation and improve his handling of matters."

 "Moreover, my beloved disciple Yanqing has recently reached the time to 'test his skills.' He is a young man who has just come of age and is full of vigor. He will surely be able to solve a lot of troubles for Fuqing."

 "It seems that General Jingyuan has really put a lot of effort into training Fu Xuan Taibu."

 Lingmo smiled and said, "I heard it on the way. Some people said that even if the sky falls, the Grand Diviner will hold it up. It seems that the Grand Diviner's abilities have already deeply impressed people in Luofu."

 "That's right. Fu Qing has long been able to stand on his own, though of course, only on his own."

 When Fu Xuan was mentioned, Jing Yuan couldn't help but make another joke: "After all, given Fu Qing's height, if the sky were to collapse, by the time it's her turn to hold it up, many of the other Immortal Ship people might have already been crushed to death."

 "However... I underestimated Miss Lingmo before. I didn't expect that among all the people on the train, Miss Lingmo would be the one who understands Luofu the most?"

 "what……"

 Lingmo's lips curled into a smile. At this moment, although she didn't know what Jingyuan wanted to test her about, she did understand the implication behind his words.

 This guy is trying to find out how much she knows about what happened back then.

 After all, if Lingmo knew about Jingyuan and Danheng's past as the Five Heroes of the Clouds, then Jingyuan wouldn't need to pretend anymore and could just say it outright. If he didn't know, at least Jingyuan could take the opportunity to find out how Lingmo obtained so much information.

 "I wouldn't presume to say that, after all, there's a genuine Immortal Ship user on board, but..."
