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

Xing, who is very good at talking, directly blocked Tingyun's retreat, making her look aggrieved but not able to speak out her resentment.

"No, no, it's my great honor to be able to host you all. I just hope that next time you meet the General, you can say a few good words for me and help me escape from this misery sooner rather than later. That would be the best reward in the world."

"Uh... Based on my experience traveling so many planets, even if I change jobs at this point, I probably can't escape a life of hard work, right?"

March Seventh followed up with the finishing blow, which made Ting Yun even more desperate.

Fortunately, Walter stopped the two in time.

"Alright. Stop teasing Miss Tingyun. Show her some basic respect."

"That's right. If you offend Miss Ferry Envoy too much, you might end up on the Black Star Raft. Then, the next moment, you'll be delivered to the Medicine King's Secret Transmission and become his medicine slave."

Wendy added with a snicker.

Miss Tingyun, who originally wanted to thank Walter for speaking up for justice, now shook her head repeatedly. This was a topic that could not be touched at all. She did not care about playing the victim and hurried to talk about business.

"Oh, right! The Tianbosi has booked a room at the Yichen Inn. My benefactors, you've been working hard all day. Please come with me to the inn for a cup of tea and a rest."

"I'm a little tired now, eh... I've been so busy all day that I haven't had time to send a message to Ji Zi."

Speaking of this, March 7 also felt a little tired.

Following Tingyun's lead, the group arrived at the Yichen Inn. While the decor clearly had the characteristics of a fairy ship, the overall layout was exceptionally small, incomparable to the West Wind Church where they had previously stayed at Yaliluo VI.

"After so many trips, I feel like the adventure in Yalilo is the easiest..."

She muttered quietly, and Xing was curious about the name that had been mentioned several times, so she asked.

"Is that the planet you've ventured to before?"

"Yes. Wendy's hometown is over there too."

March 7 said as he nodded his head.

"It was Uncle Yang, Dan Heng, and I who went there to investigate the cause of the sudden climate change. Unexpectedly, it was Wendy who did it. At the time, I even gave him an unpleasant nickname - the singing street singer."

Talking about the past, she, who had seemed a little tired at first, was obviously more energetic, pointing at Wendy's helpless little face and said.

"Puff." Xing couldn't help laughing because it was so vivid. Even Tingyun, who was walking in front, secretly pricked up his ears to eavesdrop, and the frequency of wagging his tail increased a little, obviously he was in a good mood.

"Also, it's rare there. We weren't having a good chat and suddenly a bunch of people came out and wanted to kill us.

The local government officials were also very easy to talk to, and we also happened to participate in a local event called the Wind Flower Festival, which is where I met Wendy.

When people recall the past, it is naturally endless, and Xing also feels longing.

“I really hope I can participate next year.”

"It's an annual event, but if you want to go, I wouldn't mind creating a festival for you."

Wendy interjected.

Although he never returned to Beloberg, Bronya and Seele had cell phones and would send him messages from time to time.

Recently, it is said that alien visitors have begun to land on this planet that has experienced frost and snow for seven hundred years, but no incidents of bullying have occurred.

After all, whether it is the divine power left by Wendy or the greetings made in advance with Ester and the Black Tower, they are all Beloberg's trump cards.

"Then let's go back and take a look after this Immortal Boat Tour ends."

Xing raised the corners of his mouth and smiled calmly.

March Seventh was jealous of the two people's "flirting" and "mutual affection" and soon started to talk about Bronya and the others, which scared Wendy half to death.

As for Uncle Yang, he just watched everyone playing, occasionally revealing a nostalgic look in his eyes, but he quickly composed himself and turned to talk to Tingyun about Yukong's arrangements.

Since General Jing Yuan had declared arrogantly that all the expenses on the Starry Sky Train during this period would be charged to his account, Yukong unceremoniously booked the best service for the few of them, which meant that they could live happily and eat well.

After enjoying a luxurious meal on the fairy boat, Tingyun got down to business and started talking about the Star Core Hunter.

Chapter 7 Aria on the G String

"Miss Tingyun, since the Sky Control Command has arranged for you to come here, I believe they have also mentioned in advance that the alliance will share intelligence, right?"

Walter pushed his glasses, and the reflection of the lenses revealed the sweet smile of the fox woman opposite him.

"Your Excellency is very perceptive. The Customs Department does have some clues about Kafka's whereabouts."

Tingyun offered praise as usual, and then took off the jade sign hanging around his waist.

"Although the suspect is very cunning, apart from the encrypted frequency band, the communication time is also very well blocked, making it impossible for us to accurately locate him. However, the Taipusi still found some clues."

Kafka's communication image was projected above the Jade Omen.

[The coordinates are here, everything is up to you. ]

[Although we pursue completely different goals, the orbits of the stars will eventually intersect. Goodbye——]

The records provided by Tingyun were identical to the images that the pioneers had seen in the carriage before, and the sound was also extremely clear, as if it were a real person performing it.

However, everyone's state of mind at this moment was completely different. Not only were they able to analyze calmly, but they also noticed the faint sound behind his words.

That was the specific sound made by some mechanical device when it was operating.

"Well, even with this clue, the situation hasn't changed much, right?"

Sanyueqi scratched his not-so-bright little head and said.

"This is a fairy ship after all. There are countless star rafts flying overhead, not to mention the numerous roars of machinery in the logistics areas we encountered earlier. It's too difficult to determine their location based on just this."

"Miss March is right, but she missed a point. While for most people, this noise is indistinguishable, for the Engineering and Construction Division responsible for maintaining the facility, the movement of each machine is like the melody of a song, each with its own distinct pitch."

When Tingyun said this, Sanyueqi muttered quietly, "Why don't you call me benefactor anymore?"

This almost made her perfect smile fail, and Walter and Xing subconsciously looked at Wendy.

"Hmm, mechanical melodies—the sound of gears meshing, the creaking of engines, the sound of starships hurtling through the air. These sounds are indeed easy to distinguish."

Wendy continued to listen attentively, and Tingyun also showed joy on his face and was about to explain.

"Good, I think I know where it is."

"The general has summoned the craftsmen... Eh? What did the benefactor say?"

She blinked her bright eyes in confusion and didn't react for a while.

"I heard the winds say that it was a place where birds with broken wings take flight again."

"Uh...what's this about a broken-winged bird and setting sail? I don't understand."

Fortunately, there is another one who performs similarly to her, March 7th.

Xing said expressionlessly.

"Speak humanly. Please—"

Wendy smiled and asked Tingyun.

"Miss Tingyun, where is the shipbuilding area of ​​the Luofu Immortal Boat? I heard the same mechanical sounds there that Kafka heard in the background."

"...The shipbuilding facilities on the Immortal Ship are all concentrated in 'Returning Star Port'. But, benefactor, how did you manage to distinguish them? Isn't this your first time here?"

Tingyun stared at Wendy with great vigilance, and his hand touched the jade sign at some point, as if the alarm device would be triggered immediately if there was anything wrong.

"It's the wind. The wind brings melodies from far away, and as a bard, I naturally remember the differences in the world's melodies."

Wendy winked at her playfully, a sly cat-like smile on her lips.

"This...can I understand this as meaning that as long as there's wind, the benefactor's message cannot be concealed?"

Tingyun's smile was a little forced, and his eyes flickered.

"Of course—" Wendy deliberately stretched out her voice, enjoying the change in the other person's expression, and added mischievously, "I can't do that."

"Eh?"

Tingyun was stunned for a moment.

"You see, there are thousands of kinds of people in the world, and so are the winds. It takes a lot of energy to carefully discern the information you want from these thousands of wisps of wind."

Seeing that she still looked a little unconvinced, Wendy also gave an example.

"For example, didn't that Sky Control Captain previously manipulate the Jade Realm Gate's entry and exit records? But Miss Tingyun, have you ever thought about how she was able to find us so quickly?"

"Because there's only one entrance and exit, and yours was the only spaceship that entered during that time..."

Tingyun answered with a look of realization on his face.

"In other words, what the benefactor did was actually to find the part he wanted among thousands of surveillance videos."

"That's right. It's already difficult for a person to look at dozens of images at once. When the number reaches hundreds or even thousands, the information that the brain can process becomes inefficient and accumulates, causing the thinking process to be forced to interrupt, let alone distinguishing between sounds."

Walter also nodded, not surprised by this statement.

"And the distinction Wendy makes is probably related to this 'melody', right?"

"Yes, it might be difficult to listen to all the winds at once, but if we set up filtering conditions, such as only playing a melody with a specific range of notes—"

Wendy brushed the strings of the piano, and the lively sound made people feel relaxed, as if their ears were being caressed by invisible feathers, which was very comfortable.

"You can tell them apart right away, right?"

"So there's this solution. I'm glad to hear it."

Tingyun's emerald eyes showed a hint of admiration.

"Then, in this case, wouldn't it be possible for you, the benefactor, to arrest Kafka by yourself?"

"Ah, I can't do that. I'm just a weak bard. I don't have the same strength as my companions."

Wendy waved her hand shyly, while the three people opposite her all smiled subtly.

"However, it's still possible to help locate Kafka. You know, she was playing the violin just now—"

The boy shook his head, tapped the table with his fingers at a specific frequency, and hummed a melody softly.

"Does that sound like 'Aria on the G String'?"

"Amazing. What else can you hear?"

March Seven praised and then looked at Wendy excitedly.

"Don't worry, let her finish playing this piece."

This was followed by a period of music that was synchronized with Wendy's reproduction.

The melody is natural and peaceful, and people's senses seem to be stretched at this moment. People who hear the music only feel that their mood becomes quiet with the music, and all the irritability, depression and hostility are dissipated by the wind.

Wendy closed her eyes and listened until the end of the song, and then repeated it.

"Eavesdropping is not a good habit, my dear little poet—uh... looks like we've been discovered?"

This made Wendy open her eyes suddenly, and then she saw Sanyueqi and Xing's inexplicable expressions of trying to suppress their laughter, while Miss Tingyun's ears, which had been originally raised, drooped down, and her expression became as calm as water.

"Ahahaha... aren't you angry?"

Wendy said a little embarrassedly.

"No. After listening to that elegant music, I feel quite at peace. Or perhaps... things like this always happen in this world. Just when you think you're about to achieve your goal, fate intervenes and calls it a trial."

When Miss Tingyun said this, she had a certain fragile sadness in her voice. But soon, this extremely subtle emotion was covered up by her extremely gorgeous compliments.

"However, to be able to hear music like this, I'm willing to work a little longer."

"Hehe. I'm embarrassed by what you said~"

Wendy waved her hand as if shy, but her expression clearly asked for more praise.

How could a woman as versatile as Tingyun not see this? She soon became Wendy's admirer and flattered him until he kept grinning.

This made Sanyueqi secretly nudge Dingxing with his elbow, signaling her to say something.

But the gray-haired beauty just smiled, saying, "It's not bad at all."

As for Uncle Yang, what he saw was not just the superficial content, but the deeper part.

Since the Star Core Hunter could foresee Wendy's actions, he must have known that the pioneers would come to him.

This kind of response method is really hard to understand...

After this little episode, everyone returned to the main topic.
