I, on the Starry Sky Railway, change everything

But when she saw the girl approaching with the heavy sword, Su Chang, who had taken the Xuanyuan Sword, looked wary and stepped forward to protect the unarmed Hua Yi behind her.

"What are you doing? You want to hit me again?"

"No!"

Setting Lao Tie aside, Yun Li stared intently at Hua Yi with her golden eyes.

“Different swords have different weights and shapes. The more skilled a swordsman is, the more acutely he can perceive the differences between swords. If you can use someone else's sword at will without even communicating with it, it means your understanding of swordsmanship has reached another level. If you were to use your own sword, you would definitely be even more powerful!”

Hua Yi glanced at the Xuanyuan Sword.

Actually, I have the same weapon in another world.

"What do you want to say?"

"Next time, would you like to spar with me using the Godfall Sword? I'd like to experience your swordsmanship again!"

"You want to ask me for something in return? Anyone who didn't know better would think I caused trouble and that Lady Yunli came and settled everything."

Hua Yi looked down at the petite girl from his high vantage point.

It was deliberately meant to highlight the height difference between the two.

Seeing this, Yun Li was not annoyed.

"I can pay for the patrol!"

"So she's actually quite wealthy. Give the money to Su Chang first. Even if she wasn't injured, you still have to compensate her for her emotional distress."

"Oh."

Yun Li deftly took out the jade tablet and gestured for Su Chang to take out her smart device so that she could scan the code to transfer the money.

The latter also subconsciously followed Hua Yi's instructions and foolishly took out the jade tablet to show the payment code.

"They've all been transferred."

Hua Yi glanced at the account balance displayed by Yun Li, which was now just a zero. The transfer records showed several thousand patrol coins, roughly equivalent to hundreds of thousands of credits.

Even if she is the granddaughter of Emperor Gongtian, Yunli must have saved up this money for a long time.

"That's quite sincere."

"As long as you're willing to continue sparring with me, I'll ask Grandpa for pocket money and give it to you to pawn..."

Anyway, it's not for tuition.

Huaiyan is both Yunli's grandfather and her master. How could she use her grandfather's money to find another master?

"As a friend's fee."

Hua Yi provided a very apt word.

"General Huaiyan is quite old, he has to oversee the affairs of the Immortal Ship and take care of his granddaughter, and you still cause him trouble by damaging the shops in Jinren Lane. The old general is busy cleaning up your mess, and you're already eyeing his wallet?"

"I can feel that I've gained something from the battle, something that no amount of patrolling can buy. If all else fails, I can go and eliminate the evil creatures. Earning pocket money with battle merits is always no problem—I'll give you a friend's fee for every sword fight. How much do you want? Any amount is fine!"

Chapter 440 Beauty Untainted by Knowledge

"If you put it that way, and I keep asking for things like 'friendship fees,' wouldn't that be deliberately putting the girl at risk? Who knows where you'll go to get rid of this scourge?"

Hua Yi let Yun Li indulge herself in Jinren Alley under the influence of Sui Yang, indirectly venting her pent-up emotions. She also accompanied Huo Huo on a shopping trip, allowing the little cake—no, the little judge—to temporarily escape her endless work and have some fun.

In addition, having previously acted as human bait to lure Suiyang around Suiyuan, today has been quite fulfilling.

"Sword duels and the like, we'll definitely do it next time!"

"Really?"

Yun Li had no idea that this meant "maybe next time," and thought that Hua Yi had given in, so a look of joy appeared on her face.

Her golden eyes curved into crescent moons, and the corners of her mouth turned up in a joyful arc, revealing her pearly white teeth; her happiness was visibly evident.

Like a piece of chewing gum, she continued to follow Hua Yi. When she saw him return to Huo Huo's side, Yun Li also rushed over.

"When is the next time, tomorrow, or the day after?"

She raised her small face, staring intently with her big eyes.

"Then I'll come find you. Should we arrange a place beforehand?"

When their eyes met, Hua Yi saw only innocence.

How could the granddaughter of the mighty Emperor Bow General be so easily fooled?

"I'm talking about Yun Li."

"Ok?"

"You've accumulated so many patrol arrows, have you ever been scammed?"

"Of course not! I know the prices of Qiongshi bird skewers and Ming lotus root cakes very well. On my first day in Luofu, I used Yuzhao to search for the best skewers..."

Hua Yi's gaze towards the little fool was too obvious, and Yun Li finally realized something was wrong.

"What's wrong with you? It's one thing for Grandpa to treat me like a child—at his age, everyone sees everyone as a child—but you're underestimating me too—"

Yun Li clenched her little pink fist, feeling a bit annoyed.

“Didn’t we exchange swords and hearts? I can feel your sword… uh, although the Xuanyuan Sword belongs to Su Chang, I also sensed the grandeur and magnificence of your swordsmanship, and I know you’re not a sinister bad guy. You should understand me too!”

Like, so similar.

Isn't this the standard posture of a little girl throwing a tantrum?

The previously mentioned bird skewers and lotus root cakes are also popular snacks among young girls, especially the bird skewers.

Hua Yi appears to be deep in thought.

"Is it possible that I didn't use any sword techniques, but just swung my sword randomly, slashing down and parrying up?"

"Huh? That sword was clearly in your hand, held perfectly, neither too light nor too heavy, the swordplay was quite refined, the blade was lively in every movement, it seemed to be cheering. A good sword should be held by a good swordsman, accompanying him for a lifetime, you..."

You mean you defeated me with ease? Am I that weak?

The girl tried to explain herself.

However, recalling the previous battle, Hua Yi easily suppressed herself, and stopped speaking halfway through her sentence.

"So what do you think of my swordsmanship? [Old Iron] is a good sword, and I'm a good person too, can't you feel that?"

"She spends all her pocket money on snacks, what a foodie; she's so small, yet she can wield [the iron] with incredible strength; she's turned Jinren Alley into a complete mess and caused such a huge disaster, what a brat."

"you?!"

Yun Li gritted her teeth, but after a moment she deflated.

"It was my fault... As a swordsman who hunts demonic swords, I fell for Suiyang's trick. I'm not sleeping tonight. I'll stay up all night moving building materials for the shops in Jinren Alley. I'll even pay for the repairs!"

“You just transferred all the patrol troops to Su Chang, and you’re already bankrupt.”

"Then I'll owe you for now, I'll earn it back later!"

Oh? I recommend you go to the Minghuo Chamber of Commerce and apply for loan services. That's my wife Tingyun's business.

To say that would be unfair to a food-loving, strong, and mischievous kid.

"--come on."

Since Yun Li had already figured out how to salvage the situation and hadn't become willful and reckless just because Huai Yan was cleaning up her mess, Hua Yi gave her appropriate encouragement, raising his chin to indicate that she could take immediate action.

So the girl forgot about what she was supposed to do next time and excitedly ran off to help her grandfather.

get it~

Hua Yi turned to look at the Cloud Rider girl beside him who was still weighing the Xuanyuan Sword, feeling that her family's heirloom weapon didn't like her and questioning her life.

"Miss Su Chang, are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

"Uh... Hehehe, that's good, that's good. It's thanks to you that you arrived in time. If we had continued fighting, I wouldn't have been a match for Yun Li. Her strength is terrifying."

Yun Li is a brat, and Su Chang is a silly girl...

A bright yellow coat paired with a white inner layer gives off a youthful and sunny vibe.

Hua Yi remembered that Gui Naifen had mentioned before that Su Chang was teaching her poetry and wanted to give a demonstration, but she struggled for several days before managing to come up with just a few words.

They are foreigners, so it's understandable that they don't understand the culture of the Immortal Ship. But Su Chang is a citizen of the Immortal Ship; she lived in Yao Qing before coming to Luo Fu, on the ship under Fei Xiao's rule.

Wait a minute, could it be that Su Chang wasn't actually trying to write a poem at the time, but instead racked her brains trying to recall existing poems, and then couldn't remember any for several days?

In Su Chang's eyes, Hua Yi saw a clarity untouched by knowledge, a clarity that could be seen to the bottom at a glance.

Can one not show their emotions?

Nothing.

It even overshadowed her originally delicate and beautiful appearance, making her look silly.

"As expected of the Cloud Cavalry's prodigy, he has a pair of discerning eyes and was able to detect Yun Li's abnormal condition in time."

Hua Yi gave a thumbs up and started praising Su Chang, a completely different evaluation from Yun Li's that of Su Chang, who had caused trouble.

"Gorgeous..."

The girl scratched her head foolishly, pondering the words following "cloud rider".

"Is this talking about me? It sounds like a really high compliment!"

"Of course. You stepped forward when Suiyang was causing trouble and fulfilled the duty of the Cloud Cavalry to protect the Immortal Ship. You have made a great contribution this time. General Huaiyan has seen it. It is only natural that your reputation will resound throughout Luofu and Zhuming in the future."

"If my home is in Yaoqing, and I write a letter back home, will it become a message that resounds throughout the three immortal ships?"

Su Chang's eyes sparkled. (5.4)

With her limited intelligence, she didn't even consider the possibility of being targeted after fighting with the general's granddaughter; she was completely absorbed in the bright future Hua Yi had painted for her.

In reality, Emperor Bow Heavenly General wouldn't be so petty.

Su Chang's untainted innocence relieved her of unnecessary worries. When she saw Hua Yi nod, she jumped up and down with joy.

"Great! Last time it was Xiao Gui Zi, this time it's Yun Li, I've done a great job! I'll think about how to write the letter when I get back. Thank you! I'll treat you to a meal next time!"

Xiao Gui Zi was the nickname that Su Chang gave to Gui Nai Fen.

She vowed that she could write the characters "乃" and "芬," but she just thought they sounded nice.

If I had to name a character I couldn't write, it would be the one I didn't remember when I entered Luofu through the Jade Gate—the character "曜" in Yao Qing's name.

Chapter 441 Hua Yi has his own power

Yun Li was happy, even though Hua Yi's "next time for sure" meant the opposite, she had found a good friend with whom she could share her heart through swordsmanship.

Anyway, the girl considers Hua Yi a good friend and hopes they can have more heart-to-heart talks in the future.

Su Chang was also happy that she could write home to tell her that she was doing well in Luofu.

What was that saying again—Hmph, I'm going to make the Cloud Riders' names resound throughout the Alliance, just like the Five Heroes of the Clouds.

Huaiyan personally handled the affairs of Jinren Lane, and his efficiency was ridiculously high.

Emperor Gongtian personally apologized to the vendors and tourists, compensated them for all their losses, and quickly calmed everyone down. The compensation far exceeded the losses.

A happy ending.

Based on their previous interactions, Hua Yi guessed that if he continued to stay here, the old general would definitely approach him again, host a formal banquet, and demand that Yun Li apologize sincerely for her unauthorized use of force.

So I left without hesitation.

Hua Yi had Huo Huo take more delicious food to Judges Xue Yi and Han Ya, who were staying behind in Suiyuan. He then took out his phone, sent a few messages, and headed home.

Xing is still having a blast, searching everywhere for Suiyang.

With Star Core Essence's abundant stamina, staying up all night is a piece of cake; let her be.

Tingyun returned to the mansion first, adopting the demeanor of a dutiful wife who would let her husband focus on his career while she stayed obediently at home. Huayi had taken care of most of Suiyang's affairs, and now he could freely allocate his time, so of course he should spend it with his virtuous and cunning wife.

Bailu must have been having so much fun playing with Suiyang's friends that she forgot all about it.
