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

"You can rest assured that I will never hold back just because it's you."

"That's not the problem... No, I should say, have I offended you in some way before?"

Dan Heng glanced at the two of them with a hint of helplessness, and then turned his attention to the door, where someone was puffing out his cheeks and making a "whoosh" sound to simulate the sound of wind.

This was part of the tacit understanding between Wendy and him: if he came and she saw she was busy with other things, she would remind him that "someone is visiting."

"Come in, Wendy. What do you want from me?"

Dan Heng looked at the young poet who had already stuck his head out and had a sly, cat-like smile on his face.

"Is Huanlong trying to do something?"

(I don’t know who teamed up with General Xianzhou to attack me that day. How shameless! —)

Before Huanlong could finish his words, Wendy gagged him. He then handed the letter to Danheng and said, "Actually, there's a letter inviting you to revisit your old place."

"Huh? Did Dan Heng make friends on the Immortal Boat? How come we don't know?"

Sanyueqi also took a few curious glances, but was quickly disoriented by the tadpole-like classical Chinese. She was unfamiliar with Xianzhou culture, and while the beacon provided accurate translations, and she knew all the characters, she could only understand a fraction of them when put together.

Xing did remember that when he was returning to the train that day, there seemed to be a girl from the Cloud Cavalry Army waving over here, and welcoming everyone to come back to Luofu as a guest!

At first she thought they were enthusiastic Luofu people, but now when she thought about it, they were clearly shouting at Danheng, without any shyness at all!

Oh my, it seems that Dan Heng is not a pure outsider who was dragged in to take over the job this time!

Xing's mouth suddenly curled up into a cute smile.

"Dan Heng, you're really lucky in love."

"?"

Danheng looked at her a little confused, while Xing raised an eyebrow at him and gave him a thumbs up as if encouraging, which made him even more confused.

However, this was normal. After all, after spending so much time with Wendy, Xing had become quite free, whether in terms of language or his imagination, which was even bigger than Uncle Yang's simulated black hole.

As a guard on the train and the one who considers himself the most "mature" among his companions, he should be tolerant.

So, Dan Heng lowered his head to examine the letter in his hand, then frowned.

"Hmm... There's no signature, no time or place for our meeting. It seems the sender thought I would remember these things. But obviously, I disappointed him."

Dan Heng did have some possible candidates in mind, but to be honest, he had no desire to go. After all, the Star Core Hunter said he had left, but no one knew whether he had actually left. It would be a disaster if it was an ambush set by Blade.

However, Xing doesn't think so. It's rare to see that Dan Heng is different from usual. No matter if he fails in the end, he will still pursue happiness. She still has a strong gossipy heart!

She immediately assumed.

"Maybe that sister asked you to meet at the place where we first met?"

When March 7 heard this, he immediately became interested.

"Sister? Could it be that Dan Heng is out there trying to be a hero and save a beautiful girl?"

Wendy coughed and spoke as if she was speaking up for Dan Heng.

"From a certain perspective, Dan Heng played an indispensable role in the final battle with Huanlong. You should at least have some sense of being 'rescued,' huh?"

"That's not wrong... But even if you want to praise Xing and me, there's no need to be so roundabout. It's really embarrassing."

San Yueqi twisted the ends of her hair and showed an embarrassed and shy smile.

But in fact, judging from the way she almost couldn't suppress the curled corners of her mouth, she was extremely happy.

"..."

Unable to keep up with the thoughts of this group of guys, Dan Heng simply manipulated the Yunyin spell and soaked a ball of water into the letter paper. The original handwriting disappeared, and was replaced by another line of ink marks hidden underneath.

"There are five names and three costs"

The moment these words came out, Dan Heng felt even more troubled. He had initially considered whether it might be the two people who had traveled with him earlier, but Miss Su Shang was definitely not one of them.

Although I don't want to speak ill of others behind their backs, given Miss Su Shang's level of education, it is hard to imagine how many of the words on the letter paper she could write or read correctly.

As for Luosha, he had no relationship with me and we didn't even talk much during the whole journey. It was even more impossible that he would write a letter to invite me.

Apart from this, the only person who knew about these deceased people was probably Jing Yuan.

"...Wow! It really feels like something out of a fairy boat fantasy play, where a departed companion returns, specifically using this hidden ink method to remind the protagonist, and then begins an indissoluble bond with the past."

Sanyueqi covered her mouth with her hands, and was very curious about the scene.

On the contrary, Xing remembered the companion named Blade who was with Kafka.

That guy seemed to be a tricky one, and according to Uncle Yang, he seemed to know Dan Heng.

Thinking of this, she didn't care about any gossip. Nothing was more important than her companions on the train, so she quickly guessed.

"Could this be a trap set by the Star Core Hunters?"

"...I'm not sure. The Star Core Hunters do have the ability to deliver letters without anyone noticing, but they shouldn't provoke us at this time."

Dan Heng thought for a moment, then put the letter away and spoke.

"I plan to go to the Divine Strategy Palace and ask Jing Yuan about the movements of the Star Core Hunters. As for your invitation... I'm sorry... If what's said in the letter is true, it means I still have an old debt to settle. I shouldn't involve you in the grudges of my past life.

Therefore, I will not participate in the Sunshine Festival activities. I hope you can have fun——"

"Don't say that. We are a united train crew. How could we allow you to be stuck in the mud alone and do nothing about it?"

Wendy was now sitting on the think tank's bench, swaying back and forth.

"How about this, we won't follow you, we'll just go shopping in Luofu, in case the other party has any bad intentions, we'll scare them away.

As for you, whenever you encounter danger, just smash the cup as a signal, and Sanyue, Xing, and I will immediately jump out, put that person in a sack, and take him away!"

"...Will it be too much trouble for you?"

"How can it be a problem? We are friends after all, right?!"

"That's right. And, what if she really is my sister..."

Having said that, even if Dan Heng didn't really want to involve his companions, it looked like they would not let him go alone no matter what.

I felt warm in my heart and agreed to Wendy's suggestion. As for the train, it didn't matter whether it left a day earlier or later.

Therefore, Ji Zi considerately approved the request of several people for a day trip on the fairy boat.

Uncle Yang seemed to have seen the shadow of an old friend on his way home. He recently went to the Land and Investment Division to assist in investigating a case, and it seemed that he had some clues.

At the same time, on the other side——

Walking on the street, a woman with snow-white hair was followed by Yan Qing, who looked like a bag-carrying boy with a resentful look on his face.

The woman had a beautiful face, but she wore a black veil eye mask to cover her eyes, revealing the elegant and extraordinary lower half of her face.

The overall outfit is a short skirt in the style of Xianzhou, revealing the white and soft thigh curves, and then there are long boots from the knee down, and the temperament is aloof and indifferent.

However, whenever she passed by a familiar street corner, she would reveal a look of nostalgia, although it was very faint, even as short as a moment, but it still made Yan Qing, who had once seen her like a madman, feel a little hesitant.

This former sword master came to Luofu with a suspect disguised as a merchant and declared that he would surrender himself and confess his crimes. What was his intention?

You know, how the star core was transported into the immortal ship is still an unsolved mystery...

Huanlong Fuzui, who knew the most, was suppressed, and Danshu, the leader of the secret teachings of the King of Medicine, who was second only to him, died on the spot. Other believers who were like small fish and shrimps had no way of knowing the secrets in this regard, and the investigation work was inevitably delayed.

Now that a criminal has surrendered himself, a thorough investigation is naturally warranted. However, he has come with a condition: a day of freedom before his trial, to travel to the Scaled Abyss to reunite with his old friends.

What's even more outrageous is that the general actually agreed to such a request.

If Yanqing had not been trained since childhood and considered himself to have sharp ears and eyes, and had not heard "escorting prisoners" as "receiving distinguished guests", he would have really thought that he had heard it wrong.

However, since the general's order had been issued, as a Yunqi and disciple, he had no intention of disobeying it. He could only wander around Luofu with the former swordsman who was in extreme danger and could fall into the devil's body at any time.

For Yanqing, this was both a test and a torture.

Traveling with such an extraordinary swordsman whose sword skills are so great that they can reach the moonlight in the sky, if I can learn some of the true meaning of swordsmanship from him, it will certainly be worth the trip.

But on the other hand, he also had to be wary of whether the other party would suddenly attack and hurt people. To be honest, he was able to take her sword before because of luck. It was more likely that the other party also let him go, otherwise it would be hard to say whether he could still stand here.

Perhaps she noticed that his mind was completely restless, so the woman called Jingliu did not take the initiative to go to places where there were a lot of people.

After coming out of the Shen Ce Mansion, he stayed in a secluded place where he could clearly see the people coming and going.

It was not until a stern-faced young man appeared in the crowd that she raised her head, as if she sensed something.

"coming."

"Who?"

"Drink the moon."

Following her will, Yan Qing naturally noticed the young man with a stern face and a fierce demeanor.

"Today's guests are coming one after another..."

After muttering this in his heart, Yan Qing walked forward and started a conversation.

"Isn't this Mr. Dan Heng? I was unable to express my gratitude for your help twice before. If you don't mind, I hope you can accept my apology. If there is anything wrong, I am willing to accept the punishment and I will use my salary for the next hundred years as compensation."

"That's not necessary. I don't take it to heart."

Dan Heng naturally would not blame the other party. The other party was just doing his job.

If it were a more radical person, he would probably attack him as well. However, although this young man was arrogant, he still left room for maneuver before attacking, which showed that he had good intentions.

"I came here this time just to ask to see the general."

Although the words were blunt, making Yan Qing smile bitterly in his heart, the other party really had the strength and determination. It was certainly not a lie when he said that he would not take your rudeness seriously.

For this purpose, he also took the initiative to introduce Qing Dian, a strategist from the Shen Ce Mansion, to him. Qing Dian was a veteran strategist who had followed the general for a long time and was also familiar with Jing Liu.

He quickly introduced the other party to Danheng, but when he was halfway through, the air around him turned cold.

Jingliu, who had been silent, also came forward.

"Yinyue, since you're here, why don't you come up and chat with me?"

"Or should I call you by your current name, Dan Heng?"

The man's voice and appearance stirred Dan Heng's long-hidden memories, and the cold sword intent in his words made him realize that the visitor had ill intentions.

There is no doubt that the letter was sent by the person in front of him.

Not far away——

The three people, disguised as ordinary passing tourists, watched this scene as if they were facing a great enemy.

Chapter 33: Clouds Leave No Trace Part 2

"Oh! Look, the target has appeared! I can tell at a glance that woman is no ordinary person."

Sanyueqi was wearing a high-collared trench coat like a young detective, and the camera in his hand kept focusing on Jingliu's face.

The other party seemed to have sensed something as well. He turned his head and raised his chin slightly in her direction. An invisible sword intent shot straight at her, causing the camera lens to shake in an instant.

This made the pink-haired girl quickly cover her precious camera lens, with a worried look on her face: "Oh no, I've been discovered!"

"He's so domineering... He can't be dismissed as an ordinary thief."

Xing was wearing a simple dress and a baseball cap on her head. She used the brim of the cap to block her vision and glanced at the man out of the corner of her eye.

"What do you say? Should we strike first? Find a small alley and put her in a sack?"

"No rush. Since that person discovered us, she must know that someone is watching us. I don't think she would dare to take action at this time—"

Wendy pushed up her round sunglasses, a smug smile appearing on her fair face.

"If we act prematurely, it will give us an excuse to criticize. Let's disguise ourselves and slowly follow them~"

"it is good."

"no problem."

The three of them immediately retreated from the bench in an orderly manner, turned into a small alley, and when they came out again, they had changed into the costumes of Xianzhou's local street performers.

Wendy was still wearing sunglasses, but she had a erhu in her hand, while March 7 was holding a small stool where they would sit later, and Xing was responsible for collecting money.

"Very good, we have perfectly integrated into the atmosphere of Xianzhou Street. Next, we will play slowly and wait for the right opportunity--"

Wendy not only knows how to play the harp, strictly speaking, he knows a little about most musical instruments in the world.
