I, on the Starry Sky Railway, change everything

"If it's just about observing fate and ignoring morality and principles, I actually have a simpler and more efficient method. It's none of your business."

Hua Yi continued to polish the Godfall Sword.

"I shared the news that the Immortal Ship was brewing a crisis, but did not take any further action because I was here, and it was destined that no one would shed blood. Those with ulterior motives will take the initiative to jump out, and virtuous people will also shine. Why should I rush to kill the former and make the latter feel confused or even wary? At that time, it will be difficult to deal with the arrows that Luofu summoned from Lan."

"This is difficult... Just what kind of being are you?!"

"I already said you're human. You could ask me what kind of person I am, but I don't need to explain, Miss Captive."

Sensing the approach of two intersecting energy fluctuations near the residence, Hua Yi stopped fiddling with the Crimson Greatsword.

"Your lookout duty is over for today. Stay in your cell now."

As soon as he finished speaking, the "window" that had allowed Huanlong to make a sound was closed, and the Divine Fall Sword was once again completely intact.

Outside the mansion, Tingyun was carrying the breakfast she had personally bought, still steaming hot, and was being scrutinized from head to toe by a certain captain.

"Lord Yukong, do you have something important to tell me in person?"

"I've come to see the guests on the Starry Sky Train."

"So early?"

“It is indeed early morning, so I didn’t plan to knock on the door directly, but Tingyun, you don’t seem to be like that.”

I bought so many breakfasts so that people could have a hot meal without leaving the house.

Does the scope refer to the entire train crew, or just one person?

Yu Kong stared intently at Ting Yun, whose expression was shifting, his scrutinizing gaze deepening.

Chapter 315 Host and Guest, Friends

Yu Kong understood Ting Yun; this capable young woman, who could lead a merchant fleet on a voyage across the stars, would never easily lose her composure.

"What were you thinking when you stepped out of your house to buy breakfast, and when you arranged for the train crew to stay in this house not far from your home yesterday?"

"I... I didn't think about anything... No, I was thinking that I couldn't fail in my hospitality..."

Tingyun stammered, her usual shrewdness gone, and she seemed inexplicably embarrassed, as if she had been caught red-handed by an elder for doing something wrong.

Such a reason was certainly not satisfactory to Yu Kong.

Xianzhou Meeting Room always operates in a formal and businesslike manner, without any arrangement of a private courtyard or special meal delivery service.

However, further questioning is not very meaningful.

"Since you brought breakfast, it's not good to wait too long and let the food get cold."

dong dong dong.

Yu Kong didn't care about superiors or subordinates, and Ming, who was already carrying a large box of breakfast, went up to knock on the door again.

She raised her hand herself, with just the right amount of force.

Adding even a fraction would make it too heavy, subtracting even a fraction would make it too light.

If someone in the courtyard had already woken up, they should have heard the knocking. If they were still fast asleep, the noise wouldn't have disturbed the train crew's sleep.

The technology of the Immortal Ship is top-notch in the entire universe. The antique-style building has an Internet of Everything system built in, which can connect to the Jade Emperor. However, Yu Kong felt that the passengers on the train were newcomers and probably not yet familiar with it.

It was Hua Yi who opened the gate to the mansion.

"Good morning, Driving Master, Miss Tingyun."

"How did you find your first day at the Louvre?"

"As a vehicle that travels through planetary rivers, the Star Train does not have sunrise and sunset. I thought I was on a planet and stared at the day and night cycle of the Celestial Ship for a long time."

"The celestial phenomena of Luofu are all ingeniously designed, and the weather station of the Earth Balance Office is responsible for them, which is a major feature."

"Really? It's not managed by the Sky Ship Bureau. As the name suggests, the Earth Balance Bureau is in charge of matters on the ground, while the Sky Balance Bureau is responsible for the airspace. The weather should also be in the sky."

Seeing Hua Yi's curious and intrigued expression, Ting Yun covered her mouth and chuckled.

"The six departments of the Immortal Ship each have their own responsibilities, which are quite complicated. Now that you've come to Luofu, you can learn about them at your own pace."

Strictly speaking, Tingyun is the owner of this mansion, and Huayi is just a guest.

Therefore, it would seem odd to treat the two fox ladies with excessive formality at this time.

While chatting casually, Hua Yi naturally stepped aside, gesturing for Yu Kong and Ting Yun to come inside and sit down. Hua Yi's social skills came into play, and Ting Yun completely forgot about hospitality, excitedly placing the food box on the table.

"I've specially selected some traditional Luofu snacks; please try them while they're hot!"

What else can you do when you're in the air?

I had no choice but to help the girl who was talking to herself fill in the gaps.

"I thought that since our distinguished guests are new to the city, they might not know where to buy breakfast nearby, so I apologize for disturbing you so early in the morning."

"I'm so grateful to both of you for providing me with such a delicious meal without even leaving home—so, does the captain have something more important to discuss with me?"

Different meanings can arise from the wording, expression, and tone of voice.

Hua Yi grabbed a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth, not putting on airs, turning what should have been a meeting between representatives of the two sides into a private chat.

Eliminating a lot of formalities and etiquette makes communication much easier.

"Judging from your appearance, are you perhaps working late into the night on the Star Core issue? I feel like you're the one who should be eating more. Since the others don't seem to be up yet, you might as well follow the principle of finishing food while it's at its best and have a little bit too."

"This……"

"I've long heard that Miss Tingyun is a rising star in the Tianbo Bureau. Now that she's bought so much breakfast and come with the captain, she must be thinking of taking care of Lord Yukong's health while she's busy with official business in Luofu."

Really? How come I didn't know that?

Yu Kong glanced at Ting Yun, who was acting far from being a guest and had already lost her composure. He immediately understood that Hua Yi was using a joke as an excuse to speak up for her.

"Regarding the information previously shared by the Star Train, I contacted the Luofu Division and found that there were indeed some doubts."

"I don't think I've become a suspect, do I?"

"You flatter me, esteemed guest. The Shence Prefecture and the Grand Divination Bureau may be discussing matters with you all in the coming days, so I came to inform you in advance. I hope you can spare some time."

Given the unclear situation, it's difficult for Yu Kong to issue a clear invitation for cooperation, or even to offer mutual support and assistance to the Star Train...

Even a helmsman doesn't have that much power.

Ultimately, the decision on how Luofu should treat the nameless guest rests with the general of the Shence Mansion. At this moment, Yu Kong wants to confirm whether his polite refusal yesterday has created a negative impression on the train crew.

While she was still composing her thoughts, Hua Yi made a decisive statement.

"The Luofu Immortal Ship is one of the important forces in maintaining the order of the universe, and we are certainly willing to have more dealings with them—well, to clarify, this does not mean that Miss Tingyun should deliver breakfast to us every day."

"Tingyun has just completed a long voyage and is currently on vacation, so our esteemed guest need not worry too much."

Moreover, I don't think this is a burden for Tingyun.

Conversations between intelligent people always save a lot of trouble.

Especially among friends with good intentions, there is even more openness and honesty.

Having heard Hua Yi's explanation, Yu Kong had already gotten the answer he wanted. With a smile in his eyes, he stood up after exchanging a few more words.

"Then we won't bother you any longer."

"what?"

Tingyun let out a reluctant murmur, causing Yukong to raise his eyebrows.

"The Trail Blazers need rest. Our casual conversations in the living room are just making noise."

Why not just not talk in the living room?

The clever and resourceful fox-girl seems to be awakening her extraordinary wisdom as well, and she and Xing become like-minded best friends who share common interests.

She didn't voice her true feelings, but Hua Yi had already sensed something was amiss.

After all, it was he who sealed off other people's memories, causing Tingyun to be affected by her subconscious and lose her former ease and control.

We can't stand idly by at this time.

"We will tour the Luofu Immortal Ship on our own. The Tianbo Bureau is very busy with official duties, so Miss Tingyun would be better off helping the Captain and relieving his worries. Don't let the fox sister get dark circles under her eyes from staying up all night."

According to the social views of other civilizations, the age difference between you and me cannot be summarized by simply calling me "big sister".

The same goes for Tingyun.

Yu Kong shook his head with amusement.

"The Sky Ship Bureau has issued travel permits to all the friends on the Starry Sky Train. You can freely enter and exit most of the cave heavens in Luofu."

Chapter 316 The Five Heroes Above the Clouds, the White-Haired Man

This vast majority of the area, of course, does not include the crucial part of the grotto-heaven.

So Hua Yi decided to just wander around aimlessly; it didn't matter where she went.

Xuanye Avenue, a bustling street in the central hub of Xingchahai, is lined with shops. Last night, when I was getting ready to go to sleep, I could see the streetlights lit up here through the window.

It was still lit the next morning, the light having stayed on all night.

Although the Immortal Ship Alliance is not as known for its wealth as the Interstellar Peace Corporation, its commercial development is still a rare sight in the universe.

Fox people have a lifespan of three to four hundred years, while the Immortal Boat people are theoretically immortal, but due to the existence of the [Demon Yin Body], their average lifespan is about a thousand years.

It's no exaggeration to say that things have remained unchanged for a thousand years.

Hua Yi found a corner by the window on the second floor of the Never-Sleeping Teahouse and sat down, stroking the Heavenly Gold Coins given to him by the Heavenly Ship Company.

The Xun Di, the circulating currency within the Immortal Ship, is shaped like an arrow or a leaf. It was a physical coin when the Alliance was first established, but it evolved and became digitalized along with the development of the Immortal Ship before trading with the Interstellar Peace Company.

The collectible value of the physical Xun 06 Dysprosium coin far exceeds its actual value, so of course it shouldn't be spent.

I chose to scan the code and use Tianbo's payment code.

Hua Yi ordered a cup of "Fairy Happy Tea" from the small-statured proprietress, who was shorter than Hooke Bellberg. Hua Yi knew that appearances could be deceiving, especially in Luofu.

At one end of the street is the Rice Immortal, and at the other end is the Lotus Root Cake Immortal. There are also vendors selling calligraphy and paintings, and jade. Immortals are everywhere, each one truly deserving of their name, possessing hundreds of years of work experience, and having worked for more than the average person for several lifetimes.

"You're buying Fairy Happy Tea again? Drink less of it, it's high in calories."

"Nonsense, it doesn't even list the calories!"

"Exactly! And it's frozen after it's made. The ingredient list says it contains L-carnitine. Add ice and sugar, and you'll get thinner the more you drink it. Watch me get as thin as lightning!"

The sounds of customers laughing and joking could be heard from downstairs from time to time. Hua Yi didn't have to wait long before the young proprietress brought him his cup of "Fairy's Happy Tea".

It's basically just milk tea, you can add ice or less ice, and you can also choose ice cream foam. It's universally recognized as an unhealthy drink, but drinking it will bring a smile to your face.

Fairy Boat Tea, made by immortals, has an exceptional flavor.

Outside the window, a storyteller was speaking eloquently.

With hundreds of years of work experience, they can readily use various terms and ancient secrets from several generations ago, which may only be the first half of the life of the Xianzhou people.

I experienced it firsthand and remember it clearly.

"Several hundred years ago, the envoy of the Fengrao Commandery, in order to seize the Jianmu tree, led his army to press on Luofu, almost destroying half of the cave heavens and killing so many that not a tenth of the Yunqi Army survived."

"The [Bloodstained Hell Realm] of that envoy was extremely strange and beautiful, as if stars were expanding and contracting, and the universe was falling into an abyss."

"In the blink of an eye, Lord Yinyue transformed into a dragon and engaged in a fierce battle with the ever-changing shadow of flesh and blood, fighting to the point of madness."

"Bai Heng, another hero of the Five Heroes of the Clouds, charged into battle alone, raising aloft an absolute dark sun, enabling the Alliance soldiers to break through the Bloodstained Prison Boundary, but he himself perished on the battlefield. Admirable, yet tragic!"

The storyteller is telling the story of the Five Heroes of the Clouds.

Drive away the Buli people's fleet that invaded Tarrasa; disrupt the alliance between the Houyhnhnms and the Wingers in the Bountiful Alliance.

When the people of Fengrao besieged the Immortal Ship Alliance and gazed at the Eye of the Star Sea, the five valiant warriors on the clouds traversed dangerous terrain, successfully broke through the formation, and shattered the living star [Ketu Mirage] awakened by the Fengrao Alliance, thus saving the Jade Palace from destruction.

"...Alas, the heavens are jealous of talent. The legendary era of the Five Heroes of the Clouds was extremely short, lasting less than a century, before they scattered to the four winds. If you enjoyed the story, please feel free to give me a reward. You can pay with patrol arrows or credit points!"

beep.

Hua Yi used his smart terminal to scan the code to support the payment. The electronic notification sound of successful payment made the white-haired man, who was also sitting quietly drinking tea in a corner on the second floor, turn around.

"My friend, do you think the storyteller is good?"
