She projected the information she had seen earlier.

"Just a few days after the discovery of the star core on Luofu, the Xingcha Sea was completely sealed off, and no one had left. According to you, you formally submitted a docking application and were granted permission to enter. For this reason, I specifically retrieved the entry and exit records for the Xingcha Sea."

"What you all say is true, but this entry was achieved by hacking into the system, thereby opening the Jade Realm Gate. The hacker's methods were extremely sophisticated, even deliberately leaving a mark, as if to provoke—"

These words did not change Walter's expression, he just continued to listen.

It was like some kind of invisible confrontation. Yukong did not see any fear on his face, or any anger or desire to defend himself, so he continued speaking.

"According to the pattern analysis, the hacker is the infamous 'Silver Wolf', a member of the Star Core Hunters. What is your explanation for this?"

These words undoubtedly indicate suspicion that the Star Train and the Star Core Hunters are colluding with each other. Otherwise, why would the Silver Wolf clear the way for several people? It couldn't be a spur of the moment act, right?

If we interpret it more deeply, is the origin of this star core also worth considering?

The Immortal Boat was indeed not afraid of the threat posed by the star core. It had been discovered early, so it still had the capacity to deal with it. However, this did not mean that the damage caused by the star core could be ignored.

Not to mention, not long ago, the Immortal Boat encountered another strange disturbance attack, and even the Taibu Si's Dayan Qiongguan Formation stopped for a while. How could people not be on guard?

Such blatant hostility naturally made March Seven and Xing feel uncomfortable, and even Walter frowned slightly.

Just as Wendy was about to step forward and have a good "question" from this Lord Yukong, another frivolous and lazy male voice sounded.

"Yukong, don't be so fierce. If this gets out, won't the Galaxy laugh at the Immortal Boat Alliance for not being able to treat guests well?"

"Kaia?"

Wendy looked back.

But the people on the stage shouted: "General Jing Yuan——"

The man had messy white hair like a lion's hair, and a wolf's tail tied with a red rope behind his head. He had a handsome face, a teardrop mole under his left eye, and his eyes were like amber.

He wore a white shirt with a black lining, a black cloak with a red base hung on his shoulders, a gilded belt around his waist, dark red pants and cold blue general boots.

He had a smile on his face, as if looking at an old friend who had come from afar.

"General Jingyuan, why are you here?"

Yukong's expression remained unchanged and he spoke calmly.

"Haha. It's not that I heard that the upright and courageous Star Train had arrived at the Immortal Boat, so I decided to come and see it in person."

Jing Yuan glanced at the few people with a slightly curious look, and finally stopped at Wendy, with a faint smile on his lips.

"Looking at it now, it really lives up to its reputation."

Seeing him act as if he knew Wendy, everyone turned their eyes to the young poet. He had his hands on his hips, and his eyes were slightly teasing.

"Oh? Are you the General Jing Yuan, known for his extraordinary wisdom and far-sightedness?"

Facing the subtle expressions of her companions behind her, Wendy touched her chin, looked Jing Yuan up and down, and sighed.

"Hmm, no wonder, only a boss with such good vision can recruit such amazing subordinates!"

Yukong, who always felt that he was being implied, could only keep a straight face, and his fox tail swept gently behind him.

Jing Yuan laughed as if he was amused, which relaxed the originally solemn atmosphere a little.

"...General, I am currently handling Luofu's internal affairs. If you have finished reading, please return."

In response to this, Yukong could only shake his head and remind him.

"Ahem! Yes, yes, regarding internal matters—I completely agree with the opinion of the Flight Control Officer."

Everyone was watching, and Jing Yuan didn't want to embarrass Yukong, so he had to speak seriously.

"But the Star Train is a righteous ally. There's no way they could possibly ally with the Star Core Hunters. They're sworn enemies, right?"

"..."

Now that things have come to this, how could everyone not know what Jing Yuan meant.

"So what does the General want?"

Yukong still looked businesslike. Needless to say, one could tell that he was a master at pretending to be confused.

"Well - although the Immortal Boat is indeed facing some problems, it's not to the point where we're paranoid.

If this detains future patients seeking medical advice, delaying their best opportunity for treatment, the reputation of the Immortal Boat will also be tarnished."

Jing Yuan pondered for a moment, then looked at the pioneers.

"How about this? Since you're all here, why don't you come with me to the Divine Strategy Palace for a chat? It can both clear up any misunderstandings and get you to know each other better. Of course, as compensation for the delay, all subsequent Starry Sky Train rides and Immortal Boat expenses will be waived."

"Wow! This general is so arrogant!"

Hearing him say this, March Seven covered his mouth in surprise. Even Xing couldn't help but look up to him. Only Walter frowned slightly.

The so-called free things are more valuable. He did not think that just because Wendy and the general exchanged a few words of flattery, it was worth the other party making such a promise.

The only reasonable explanation is that the other party made subsequent requests and needed such a "big gift" as a stepping stone.

At this moment, the members of the Tianbo Division who were watching were even more excited.

"--quiet."

Yukong glanced at the staff below indifferently. Her pressure was so strong that they almost silenced them on the spot.

General Jingyuan just looked at her with a smile, as if waiting for her permission.

"..."

Yukong did not answer, but nodded slightly reluctantly, as if to let the person go.

-

Shen Ce Mansion.

"Well, everyone on the train team, the misunderstanding we had at the Sichen Palace has been resolved. I will offer tea instead of wine, and I wish the Immortal Boat and the Starry Sky Train many more opportunities for cooperation."

After arriving here, General Jingyuan started to speak incessantly of nice things, which made San Yueqi and the others a little confused.

Only Walter remained calm and composed regardless of the ups and downs.

As a well-known giant in the universe, the Immortal Boat Alliance treats the Star Train so well. It doesn't take much to know that the reason lies with Wendy.

At this moment, he was holding a cup of Fairy Happy Tea, drinking it happily, and responded as if he had been bribed.

"Ah, General, you're too polite! If you have any trouble, please let me know. Even though we're just a few of us, we're quite capable of helping people out!"

"Oh? Then there's something that you all can do. If you can solve it, I'll be able to alleviate most of my worries!"

Jing Yuan said with a smile.

"A few days ago, we captured a Star Core Hunter named 'Blade' who had trespassed into the Immortal Ship's important territory."

"During the interrogation, the Taipusi—the department responsible for intelligence and information deduction on the Xianzhou—intercepted a communication from his accomplice, Kafka, who was hiding on the Xianzhou. As for the person being communicated with…"

"We are exactly that."

Walter admitted it frankly. Now that the physical evidence was there, witnesses could be obtained with some effort. There was no need to feign suspicion, as that would only make one appear guilty.

"Indeed. I know a little about the relationship between you and the Star Core Hunters. The Taibu Si believes you must be in cahoots! I say that's impossible. The Star Train has always been known for its uprightness and righteousness. How could it be in cahoots with a bunch of scoundrels?"

Jing Yuan praised everyone while fiddling with the teacup.

"Therefore, this communication must be a vicious plot by the Star Core Hunters to divert disaster.

The purpose is to confuse the public, stir up disputes between the Immortal Boat and the Starry Sky Train, thereby delaying time and waiting for an opportunity to act.

To prevent the Star Core Disaster from erupting, the main force of the Immortal Ship will inevitably be distracted, allowing the Star Core Hunters to complete their hidden plot. By then, the Immortal Ship will be trapped internally and externally, and the robbers will escape, causing their reputation to plummet. This is truly a murderous act."

"Hiss—killing people and destroying their hearts? The Star Core Hunter is so scary!"

Wendy looked frightened.

Jing Yuan did not expose the boy's slightly exaggerated performance, but just nodded seriously.

"That's why we must be on guard. The Immortal Boat is fortunate to have your assistance, so we can just go with the flow.

Outside, as a general, I will grant you the authority to act as you please in the Immortal Boat, and the Star Core Hunter whose plan failed will certainly not sit idly by. Whether he plots to involve you again or seeks another way out, he will leave clues.

I will have the Tianbo Division share the latest intelligence in real time, and dispatch elite troops from the Cloud Cavalry to assist you in the search for Kafka. We will capture her in one fell swoop and restore order to the world."

It had to be said that the other party's analysis was very coherent and made a lot of sense. Sanyueqi nodded uncontrollably, while Xing had some doubts, but the decision on this action lay in Uncle Yang's hands, so she remained silent.

Walter pondered this for a moment and looked at the out-of-tune bard.

"Wendy, what do you think?"

"Hey. Since General Jing Yuan has asked us to do this, why don't we go?"

Wendy winked at him playfully.

And Jing Yuan also praised at the right time.

"If you treat me with sincerity, "Luofu" should reciprocate with sincerity. "

"...All right."

Walter nodded.

"Excellent! It's a deal then." Jing Yuan smiled and stood up, waving to the young man who had been listening behind him. "Well, Yanqing, pass on my message. If you can be of any use to me while the Starry Sky Train is delayed, I will grant you all the assistance you need. Don't delay."

"Yes, General."

The boy named Yanqing has a clear voice, somewhat similar to Wendy.

At this moment, he made no secret of his curiosity towards the few people, but still bowed his head and accepted the order.

Thus, the small talk came to an end. Walter also made a secret gesture to everyone and took his leave.

Jing Yuan also watched everyone leave. When they were completely out of sight, he breathed a sigh of relief and slowly sat down.

"General. Why do you treat them so well?"

Yan Qing asked in confusion.

"Haha. Yanqing, the reason I asked you to read more is so that you won't get confused at times like this."

"Huh? I also read a lot of books, like 'Biographies of the Five Warriors on the Clouds' and 'The Travels of the Immortal Boat'."

"It's not just Xianzhou's books, you should also read works from outside. If you always focus on the near future, sooner or later you will only have a vague understanding of the 'faraway' that follows."

Jing Yuan leaned lazily against the chess table, his eyes half closed.

"What do you think of the pioneers of the Star Train?"

"Well... apart from that old man whose depth is unclear, I'm confident I can beat everyone else."

Yanqing thought for a while and answered seriously.

This made Jingyun look up at him and his smile faded a little.

This made Yan Qing's heart jump for no reason, and he asked in a panic.

"Uh...did I miss something?"

"Well... you did miss it. But after all, you are still young, so you can forgive it..."

Jing Yuan looked away and stretched out his hand to point vaguely. The repulsive projection chessboard in the background instantly changed and took the shape of a pale planet.

"This is……?"

"A planet that was once invaded by the Legion of Destruction and even suffered a nuclear crisis. Even the company lost contact with it. What do you think became of it later?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Qing lowered his head and thought about it. He didn't want to make the same mistake again, so he answered cautiously.

"If there were still civilizations on the surface, without external help, they would probably have been destroyed."

"You're right. But, there are always many things in this world that are 'just right'—"

As Jing Yuan finished speaking, the pale planet seemed to be swept by a gust of wind. The dead white frost gradually faded away, the blue ocean once again took the mainstream, and the continent also blossomed with lush greenery.

This level of climate change is beyond human common sense. Even the climate repair equipment used by the company cannot achieve all this in such a short period of time.

Obviously, the scene shown on the screen did not look like it had been sped up, which made Yan Qing ask in surprise.

"You don't mean..."

"Indeed. This is the work of that very bard. Are you surprised?"
