I, on the Starry Sky Railway, change everything

"Yes. As expected of a storyteller with hundreds of years of experience, he tells a great story."

"It's quite amusing to hear the word 'storytelling' associated with immortals for the first time."

"The main reason is that the legend of the Five Heroes of the Clouds is captivating. Heroes who break through enemy lines and turn the tide will always have their charm."

When the other party struck up a conversation, Hua Yi raised the bottle of Fairy Happy Tea in his hand.

"Want a drink? It's on me."

"In this scene, there is a certain heroic spirit to drink and make merry, but the wine is a bit too sweet and smooth. I have already ordered a pot of Lin Yuan Chun, which is full of the spirit of Lin Yuan and the elegance of flying clouds. I will sip the fragrant tea and lie down to watch the starry sea."

The white-haired man accepted the invitation and sat down at Hua Yi's table.

"It is said that the Dragon Lord of Wisdom caused the ancient sea to surge like thunder, submerging the Lin Yuan Realm. Later, the descendants of the Dragon Lord of Wisdom found a blooming tea tree on a floating island. Its branches stood tall and its buds and leaves were like jade. This is the Lin Yuan Spring."

"Then I have to try it. I'll ask the proprietress for a teacup."

"No need. I happen to have an extra teacup here, which I think I left for you on a whim—please."

Having just finished hearing the story of the Five Heroes of the Clouds, a pot of tea with a remarkable background was served, and the fragrant tea itself seemed to gain an extra touch of charm.

Hua Yi took the cup of Lin Yuan Chun tea poured by the white-haired man and savored it carefully, letting the aroma of the tea fill his heart.

"The story of the Five Heroes of the Clouds is magnificent. Even though that legendary era lasted less than a hundred years, it has already surpassed the life of many ordinary people. Just listening to it for a short while feels so amazing."

"The storyteller just mentioned the fate of the Five Heroes of the Clouds. They scattered, some fled, some perished. If you go back and hear the detailed account, even if the plot is dramatic, don't you think it will spoil your enjoyment of Luofu Mountain?"

"I'll comfort myself."

"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."

“When I listened carefully to the exciting parts of the story, especially the tragic parts, I thought that the storyteller was deliberately creating conflict. The real history was much better, or it shouldn’t have been like this. There must be a way out.”

"...It is a way to adjust one's state of mind. However, listening to stories can be regarded as hearsay, but if you experience battles firsthand, the reality is undeniable."

The white-haired man put down his teacup and nodded to Hua Yi.

"I have long admired the Star Train and longed to see it. I am truly fortunate to finally see it today."

"Sing to express one's aspirations."

"Haha, it seems you know a lot about the Immortal Boat Poems, or perhaps you have some other connection to them? It's a pleasure to meet you. I am Jing Yuan, the Cloud Cavalry General of [Luofu]."

Chapter 317 Jingyuan, Friendly Exchange

One of the Seven Heavenly Generals of the Emperor's Bow, serving as the messenger for the hunt.

If it were an ordinary person, or even two people on the same path, they would find it difficult to judge the other's path or determine their strength without witnessing the fight firsthand.

But in Hua Yi's eyes, those obscure and difficult-to-understand fluctuations of the normal imaginary number were a series of identity verifications.

Even before he had secretly booked the second floor of the teahouse, the arrival of a messenger was already out in the open.

Drinking Immortal's Happy Tea, listening to the story of the Five Heroes of the Clouds, and having General Luofu as a template for analyzing [Hunting], Hua Yi was very satisfied and could sit in the teahouse all day.

"General, you've come to see me because you have important business to discuss, haven't you?"

“That’s right. Recently, we captured a Star Core Hunter named Blade who trespassed into the restricted area of ​​the Immortal Ship. Around the same time, Kafka, who is also a Star Core Hunter, contacted the Starry Sky Train. It’s easy to connect the two events.”

"Does Luofu doubt the train's stance?"

"Of course not. I also want to thank the Star Train on behalf of the people of Luofu for the message it sent. According to the divination of the Taibu Temple, a calamity is indeed brewing, and the nameless guest is a guest from afar who is trustworthy. Therefore, I would like to make friends with you."

Jing Yuan spoke frankly and openly, readily admitting that he had indeed come specifically to meet him, and this sincerity immediately bridged the gap between them.

"I had heard that the Legion of the Annihilation Ancestor had attacked the Black Tower Space Station, and the Immortal Boat Alliance was also worried. Fortunately, a hero emerged and blocked the Legion's advance. It seems that he has also reached a further cooperation with the Interstellar Peace Company. When I learned about this in Luofu, I felt much relieved."

"I remember the relationship between Lady Black Tower and the Immortal Boat Alliance was somewhat strained? I completely understand. Geniuses are proud and capricious, and they treat people and things according to their mood, which is different from the cultural habits of the Immortal Boat Alliance—General, you can put aside past impressions and calmly understand my affairs; your magnanimity is extraordinary!"

"Not at all. Jingyuan has long believed that you are an exceptional person. To be favored by geniuses and to possess the kindness and martial virtue to protect others, you must be no ordinary person. It is truly an honor to finally meet you today."

Both sides seemed to have entered a praise mode.

But Hua Yi knew that Jing Yuan wasn't just being polite; he had conveyed Luo Fu's friendly attitude and that he wouldn't harbor hostility towards the Star Train just because the Black Tower Space Station and the Interstellar Peace Company weren't exactly close partners.

They responded in kind, and the other party understood perfectly.

That would allow us to be more direct and to the point.

"How does Luo Fu intend to deal with the Star Core Hunters? I've dealt with Kafka and Silver Wolf before, and frankly, they're not the type to be extremely evil."

"Disaster is imminent. Kafka, lurking on the Celestial Ship, is ultimately a threat and must be guarded against. I intend to send someone to capture her. If the Star Core Hunter is already imprisoned, and the disaster still erupts, it will indirectly eliminate suspicion—would the Star Train be willing to participate?"

After saying that, Jing Yuan smiled and then added.

"Of course, if the train is unwilling, it can still enjoy the scenery of Luofu. Just like the storyteller in this teahouse, you can listen to his stories for three days and three nights without repeating the same one."

"I agree."

"If you treat me with sincerity, Luofu should repay you with sincerity. In that case, Taibu Si will cooperate with you. If you successfully capture Kafka, the follow-up will be handled by Taibu Fuxuan. If you have any requests, you can contact her directly. If you need the Cloud Cavalry, don't hesitate to ask."

In the cosmic dimension, the Immortal Boat General and the Seven Heavenly Generals of the Imperial Bow are among the very few people standing at the top of the pyramid.

However, Jingyuan did not put on airs and was very courteous.

"The Star Train has been silent for a long time. Seeing it once again traversing the starry sea and back on track is truly exhilarating. Please, let's have another cup of tea."

"There will be more and more good news. My companions and I came here specifically to do good deeds."

"Haha, thank you for your kind words. If everything goes well, I hope to have time to chat with you again about my experiences in the starry seas. I am preoccupied with worldly affairs and have not been able to set sail for many years. — Jingyuan has other important matters to attend to and cannot stay any longer. Farewell."

After finishing a pot of Lin Yuan Chun tea and reaching an agreement on cooperation, General Xianzhou could not afford to live a leisurely life. He immediately clasped his hands in apology and hurriedly left.

Watching his figure leave the teahouse and disappear into the street, Hua Yi keenly noticed some details.

For example, Jingyuan didn't talk much about the blade; he simply mentioned its name and then didn't elaborate further.

This was a point of suspicion, but Hua Yi knew the hidden story and didn't dwell on it.

Despite not having specifically purchased any snacks or desserts along the way, Tingyun delivered a luxurious breakfast to me early in the morning while I was staying in the courtyard. After sitting in the teahouse for a while, Jingyuan invited me to drink tea, and I was thoroughly satisfied with my meal.

Should I buy something to fill Himeko and Hoshi's stomachs?

Glancing at the empty Immortal's Happy Tea and the General's Selected Lin Yuan Chun on the table, Hua Yi knew he couldn't keep it all to himself.

Ask the shop owner to pack a few cups of Happy Tea and some Star Taro Boba, and buy some hot snacks on the street. At the same time, send a message to ask the girls what they want to eat. When Hua Yi returned with bags and packages, the hungry train crew was already sitting in the living room.

"Xianzhou's milk tea is also very delicious."

"Yeah, I thought it would be as bitter as the coffee that Himeko-neechan makes. Normally, tea leaves should be quite bitter."

"It's sugar, it contains a lot of sugar, be careful not to drink too much and get fat."

"ah!"

Startled by Hua Yi's words, March 7 was so shocked that she almost dropped the Fairy Happy Tea on the ground.

A thrifty and hardworking young woman would never waste delicious food.

Since you've already drunk half, you should naturally finish the other half; wasting food is shameful!

"Are we going to capture Kafka next?"

"The Star Core Hunter has been wanted by the company for many years, yet he has managed to remain active, and he also has a slave of fate devising his plans. This time, the flaws and clues were most likely released by Kafka herself."

"...So, Yin?!"

"It's not a conspiracy."

After glancing at Xing, who was wolfing down her food, Hua Yi pulled out a few napkins and used them to wipe the oil stains off her face.

"In short, things aren't going too badly. We just need to cooperate. Let's wait here for a while; the Grand Master should be here soon."

Chapter 318 The Pillar of the Divination Bureau, Lord Qingque!

"I'm just destined to a life of hardship."

A seemingly ordinary young woman from the Temple sighed, rubbed her temples to relieve her fatigue, and knew without looking in a mirror that she had dark circles under her eyes.

Poor thing, she's just a little fortune teller, and she stayed up late last night, working overtime to check the Qiong Guan formation.

Is this something a low-level worker should be doing?

Following his family's expectations, he entered the Bureau of Taxation, only to discover that what he thought was a leisurely and secure job was actually a high-intensity workplace struggle. Such is the ups and downs of life.

Yesterday, just as the young woman was about to leave work, the Grand Diviner said, "The Qiong Guan Zhen almost crashed during divination and prediction. Qing Que, you should check it carefully," which forced her to work overtime until late at night.

This was a major setback.

Then, since I worked overtime yesterday, I should be on vacation today!

Let alone the fact that the Taibusi is one of the six major departments of Luofu, even if it were any random shop, if the boss made the employees work until midnight, they should be given a day off the next day, and if they were better off, they would be paid overtime.

Of course, promotions and important appointments are out of the question. The higher the position, the more work there is, and the more likely you are to be watched by your immediate supervisor. Where would you find an opportunity to slack off?

Qingque has summarized the truth of the art of working happily.

As it turned out, the Grand Diviner acted unpredictably, taking advantage of her and demanding a face-to-face report on the results of the Qiong Guan Array inspection, while also accepting a new mission: to deliver a message to the nameless passengers of the Starry Sky Train.

680 "Sigh."

With a sigh, Qingque touched the Imperial Jade Token in her pocket, barely managing to replenish some energy.

If she hadn't known that things couldn't be delayed, she would have already sneaked into the card room to play a few rounds with her close friends.

"Is anyone there? I am Qingque, a diviner from the Grand Diviner's Office. I have come to deliver a message on the orders of the Grand Diviner herself, and it seems I am also to lead the way."

Her brown hair was tied into pigtails, she had emerald green eyes and delicate eyebrows. Her top had wide sleeves, and her dark green skirt, resembling lotus leaves, gave her a touch of cuteness.

He's just a bit short.

Upon seeing the train crew emerge from the courtyard, Qingque blinked twice and spoke decisively.

"Greetings, gentlemen! Judging from your distinguished appearances, I know you must be honored guests of the Grand Diviner."

Despite her short stature, this young woman is quite capable.

Although he spoke weakly, his seemingly casual words were actually quite measured, at least not enough to cause trouble for the chief priest.

Hua Yi found it interesting.

“We are passengers on the Starry Sky Train. Miss Qingque looks quite tired.”

"Did the guests notice? I'm truly very busy with the affairs of the Grand Diviner, please forgive me. Of course, if you esteemed guests feel that my dark circles under my eyes are not in accordance with the etiquette of the Immortal Ship, please be sure to speak to the Grand Diviner in person later. It would be best if you could grant me a day off!"

"So you are the pillar of the Grand Diviner, highly regarded by the Grand Diviner of Luofu. My apologies for my overreaction."

"Oh, not really." Observing their expressions and confirming that this group of nameless guests were not the type to care about etiquette, Qingque decisively gave up pretending, and her body, which she had managed to stand up straight, immediately wilted.

"According to the investigation by the Tabu, the Star Core Hunter Kafka is currently in the Luofu Starport. The old lady Tabu hopes that you can participate in the capture. If you are free now, it would be best to set off immediately. I want to finish the mission as soon as possible so that I can go home and play cards sooner."

Himeko and March Seven thought they had misheard.

The girl who kept yawning was talking about playing cards after get off work, not going to sleep after get off work.

Wow, she's amazing! She's on par with those fanatical girls who stay up all night reading novels in fan groups.

Xing didn't observe Qingque much, still thinking about the scene when she woke up in the Black Tower Space Station's Wuming Realm after Kafka stuffed a star core into her.

I felt a sense of familiarity with that purple-haired older sister back then, but now they're trying to arrest her—

Hmm, my feelings are a bit complicated.

Anyway, I'll listen to Hua Yi!

"Then let's set off immediately."

It's clear that Qingque really wants to leave work.

Hua Yi gestured for her to lead the way, and together with the train crew, headed to Star Harbor.

Luofu is not simply about building various structures on the surface of this large planet-sized ship.

It encompasses numerous caves and grottoes, with entrances and exits involving spatial technology. Some are quite remote and cannot be found by non-locals, while others are restricted passages that can only be used by Luofu government officials.

With Qingque leading the way, they made several turns and soon arrived at Huixing Port.

The starships frequently used by the immortal ships were produced here.

The surrounding area is filled with a large number of shipping containers and transparent starship cultivation chambers, which use biotechnology to cultivate this type of transportation vehicle from seed and grow it on its own according to a preset template.
