Xingtie, started with a guitar, and made a living by singing

Jing Yuan was very satisfied with his surprised expression, and smiled mischievously.

"After what you saw, do you think you can still beat him?"

"General, you should have known better than to make fun of me!"

Yanqing could only look at him with resentment.

"Haha. Okay, stop looking at me like that. I'm just telling you that there are always people who are better than you."

Jing Yuan waved his hand gently, looking particularly comfortable.

"Eh? Isn't he like you..."

"Hmm? Do you think I'm old?"

"That's not true, it's just..."

"Yanqing, it's not that difficult to acknowledge someone else's strength and talent. The only difference is whether you want to continue to blind yourself or truly see beyond the scope of your vision."

Under Yanqing's somewhat lonely gaze, Jingyuan patiently taught him.

"Listen more, watch more, learn more. I think you will find many things in him that you lack. If you can absorb even a little bit of that, it will surely be of great benefit to you."

"Yes, General!"

"Well, go ahead. And remember to bring me another cup of tea when you come back—"

"Yes......"

The young man who was originally full of ambition could only walk out the door in disappointment, and the projection on the chessboard changed to that of another girl.

The girl has a delicate and tender face. Her bright pink hair is tied up with two "呂尾" rings and two pairs of golden hairpins holding moons, making her look noble and extraordinary. The eyes on her forehead are deep and mysterious.

The exposed shoulders and collarbones add a sense of fragility to her, but the astrolabe hanging under her neck is even more eye-catching. Her clothes flutter like light feathers, and her legs are covered in translucent white stockings.

She is the head of the Taibusi, Fu Xuan.

"Master Taibu, you heard my conversation with them. What are your thoughts?"

Jing Yuan half-closed his eyes and teased.

"What opinions? Who would ask for opinions after everything is already arranged?"

Fu Xuan looked slightly unhappy, but Jing Yuan, who knew his temper well, was not anxious and just comforted him.

"Yes, but without Fu Qing's backing, how could I be so confident in implementing this plan?"

"You're so arrogant! Aren't you afraid that something unexpected will happen and turn the entire Immortal Boat into a battlefield?"

Seeing him look so relaxed, Fu Xuan became even more angry and frowned.

"Don't worry. I'm 90% confident in this matter. Even if there is a slight concern, I believe that with Mr. Fu's wisdom, even if there are any changes on the battlefield, we can turn the danger into a blessing."

"Hmph. Since you trust me so much, why don't you abdicate sooner?"

Although he was happy to be flattered, Fu Xuan was not so careless as to ignore the danger hidden in it, but spoke frankly.

"Let's put aside the Star Train group for now. What exactly are your intentions with the Star Core Hunters?"

"Oh? How do you say this?"

"That Blade... you deliberately let him escape, didn't you? Your intention was to connect with this connection, but was it really necessary? Jing Yuan, you should know that the result of divination doesn't guarantee its realization. It's just one of the deduced 'possibilities'."

Fu Xuan could still remember that when she first saw that scene, she personally divined the good or bad luck, but the result was that a strong wind from an unknown source swept her away.

No matter how she divined afterwards, she would get the same result through the divination of the Dharma Eye.

You know, even Jing Yuan, she could get a glimpse of it, but that bard was so weird, it was like...

She fell silent suddenly, feeling a strong sense of unreality about the possibility.

"I know, but now we have already cast the bait, as long as we can catch fish, that's enough."

Jing Yuan tapped the table lightly with his fingertips, his eyes deep and profound.

"Let's wait and have hope. Mr. Fu—I believe he won't let us down."

Chapter 6: Delicious food and drinks are served!

After leaving the Shen Ce Mansion, the pioneers did not rush to ask Yukong for help, but first found a place to rest and discuss the next countermeasures.

"This General Jing Yuan...is no ordinary person either."

Walter looked solemn, and his importance to this trip continued to rise.

"Uncle Yang, do you think he's weird? I actually think he's quite easy to talk to, at least much better than that helmsman."

San Yueqi had a good initial impression of the good-looking general.

"Especially in terms of interpersonal relationships, the gap is really big."

Xing also added a sentence.

"Although I don't want to say bad things about others behind their backs, this is just normal workplace behavior, right?"

After all, Walter is not young, and he has seen a lot of such opposite roles, not to mention that the other party is obviously hiding something.

However, he couldn't grasp the sense of disharmony in his heart for the time being, so he had to look at Wendy. The boy's previous attitude did make him a little concerned.

"It might be a little late to ask now, but Wendy... do you know that general? He seems quite optimistic about you."

"Well...if you want to say I know him, I do, but it's one-sided. Of course, that closed-eyed general treats me the same way."

Wendy took a leisurely sip of her Fairy Happy Tea and answered slowly.

Two people who know each other unilaterally?

Such a strange relationship made Walter's thinking stop for a moment, and then he asked again.

"So what do you think about him asking us to do this?"

"Why are we searching for Kafka? It's simple. Do you remember why our 'old friend' asked us to come here?"

When it comes to serious matters, Wendy has no intention of slacking off or telling riddles, she just gives a reminder.

"That 'Blade'!"

Walter reacted the fastest. During the previous conversation, he always felt that he was missing a key piece of the puzzle, but the other party's verbal offensive did not stop for a moment, and he seemed to know Wendy, which occupied most of his thoughts, so he did not notice it at the first time.

Now that Wendy mentioned it, he naturally recalled it.

"That's right. Since the Cloud Cavalry has already captured the Star Core Hunters, they can use them as bait to force Kafka to reveal herself. There's no need for us to go out of our way to hunt her down. It would not only be time-consuming and laborious, but would also place a great deal of trust in them."

"In other words, that blade has either escaped, or for some reason, the Immortal Boat has no choice but to rely on us, an external force?"

Xing is not stupid. While March 7 was still trying to keep up with Uncle Yang's thinking, she had already reacted.

"Yes, that's one of the reasonable explanations. Regardless of whether Blade's capture is true or not, there's a high possibility that he's out of the Immortal Boat's control at this moment. And what Kafka, who's been sitting still, is planning is even more intriguing."

Walter raised the corners of his mouth slightly. He did not reject this kind of brain-stimulating activity. It made him feel like he was reliving his youth.

“Assuming that Ren Ruo really escaped, this incident definitely did not happen at the same time as we entered the Immortal Boat.

Otherwise, General Jing Yuan's response was too skillful, tantamount to directly betting the safety of the Immortal Boat on the Starry Sky Train. Even if he trusted us, this was doomed to be impossible given his position.

Furthermore, the premise of this incident is also intertwined with the Star Core Hunter's arrangements. Without Kafka's intercepted communication records, and without Silver Wolf's deliberate identification marks in the entry and exit records, we, as outsiders, would lack the necessary grounds to participate in this incident.

Without this misleading information, we were seen by Xianzhou as barbarians who came to seek medical treatment but had the misfortune to encounter the star core disaster.

Otherwise, a single star core wouldn't be enough to convince Rov to swallow his pride and seek the Star Train's help. And we'd become a variable that could deviate from Elio's "script" at any moment. No matter how much Kafka flatters us, this is definitely something the Star Core Hunters want to avoid at all costs."

After such a long speech, even Uncle Yang felt a little thirsty, but March Seven, who listened to it like a mystery, quickly handed him the cup of water.

"Thank you for your trouble, Sanyue."

Walter took the water cup, took a sip, and said in summary.

"From this, it's not hard to deduce a crucial piece of information. For the Star Core Hunters, now that their companions have escaped, Kafka's original reason for staying here has long since disappeared. Yet, they remain silent, meaning they either still harbor a lingering desire for the Star Core, or they have other unfinished business.

Regardless of whether General Jing Yuan was 'informed' about this matter or not, he's using a roundabout way to get us to investigate. This move could be a response to a greater crisis, or perhaps a strategic move. Having figured this out, we're now qualified to get to the heart of the matter.

"Awesome, awesome, Uncle Yang!"

San Yueqi's eyes sparkled. He had never expected that Uncle Yang could deduce so many things based on just this information.

Even Xing was very surprised. She actually didn't know much about this old senior on the train, even less than Ji Zi. She only knew that he was a good guy, but she didn't expect that he was also very perceptive in this aspect.

Could it be that he had been tricked by such schemes many times before, so he developed an intuition to see through conspiracies and tricks?

"It's just a little deduction." Walter pushed his glasses, his eyes gentle, "Also, there are still some loopholes in it. After all, the main reason we came here is actually because of Wendy, but there is too much information missing in this regard, so I can't be sure."

After hearing his words, everyone started to take a fancy to the protagonist of this trip, Wendy.

"Yeah. Uncle Yang said exactly what I wanted to say!"

Wendy couldn't stop nodding, as if wanting to prove that she and Uncle Yang had the same opinion.

"No, you obviously deserted halfway, didn't you?"

San Yueqi looked unconvinced.

"After all, it's obvious when Wendy's distracted."

Xingye finished off the enemy neatly.

On the contrary, Walter seemed to have noticed something from Wendy's behavior.

He nodded to Wendy imperceptibly, as if suggesting that they could discuss this matter privately later.

After finishing the analysis meeting here, we naturally returned to the original topic.

"So, what do we do next?"

March 7th instinctively sought Uncle Yang's advice.

"Invite, behead, accept as a dog!"

Xing answered immediately, but was given a cold look by Sanyueqi.

"Don't show off at a time like this. Our situation is different, right? Even if I wanted to treat you, I wouldn't know... Hey, I think there's someone like that?"

As he was talking, March 7 thought of a suitable person.

Walter was also happy that they could think independently, so he gave full control of the action to them.

Ever since——

Sichen Palace.

Yukong looked at the pioneer who came to ask for people, and felt helpless about General Jingyuan who threw the job to her.

"I'm aware of the matter. Since the General has given the order, the Tianbo Division will fully cooperate. I entrust the investigation of the Star Core Hunter to you. I will also issue passes to various facilities in the Xingcha Sea to facilitate your operations."

"Yeah, that's right! Isn't that quite reasonable? Work hard~ Then I'll go and say a few good words to your general, and this year's KPI will be stable~"

It feels really good to use the tiger's skin as a banner, so much so that people tend to exaggerate on March 7th.

Yukong just held his forehead slightly in response to this. He really didn't know what to say about the other party's "confidence" and could only organize his words.

"Don't get too excited yet... As for manpower, the various airports are currently undergoing maintenance and repairs, and they're very short on manpower.

I can only ask Tingyun to temporarily take over the guidance duties. She will be responsible for taking care of your itinerary during this period. Secondly, assisting you in tracking down the Star Core Hunters. The mobilization of the "elite" will take some time. You can go talk to Tingyun first, or you can rest at the inn for a while."

“We can do this together!”

"That's your freedom."

After bidding a few people farewell in a somewhat cold manner, Yukong glanced at the message from his daughter in the private message box, and felt even more depressed.

It was already this late, and she was still messing around. Wasn't she really scared of being thrown? The previous accident was terrifying enough, and she absolutely didn't want another disturbance in Xingcha Sea. Otherwise, she didn't know what she would do.

……

Although his attitude was not very good, Yukong was very efficient. Almost not long after everyone left, he received a message from Tingyun on his mobile phone.

She asked everyone to meet at the port, and by the time they arrived, it was already afternoon.

This fox woman, who was both charming and pure, stood at the harbor, leaving only a charming back.

There were passersby around who were staring blankly, but as they heard the footsteps of a few people approaching, she turned around, her face full of depression at being forced to work overtime.

"Alas, it seems that I have a deep connection with you, my benefactors. It has only been half a day since we last met, and Master Yukong has assigned me the task of receiving you all."

"You seem reluctant?"
