How come I was the one being targeted?

Now I understand.

Su Chang clapped her hands and said excitedly, "Oh, Third Master!"

Bai Jun pursed his lips and tried his best to maintain a standard smile, thinking in his heart that this guy was really a big fool.

"By the way, Bai Jun, I want to ask you a favor!"

Su Shang seemed to have remembered something important, and suddenly grabbed the corner of Bai Jun's clothes, with a serious expression rarely showing on her silly face:

"Well, actually, I came to Luofu to join the Yunqi Army. I'm new here and don't know the direction. Could you please take me to the Yunqi Army's registration office?" Halfway through the words, his expression, which had been tense with great effort, accidentally revealed a silly smile, and he scratched his hair in embarrassment.

"Cloud Cavalry Army Reporting Office?"

Bai Jun was stunned and looked at Su Shang with disbelief several times, but then he remembered that her mother was Su Yi, and he let it go. As the saying goes, a tiger father will have a dog son, and the same applies to mother and daughter.

Seeing that Bai Jun didn't respond, Su Chang thought he was rejecting her and felt disappointed. "If you have something to do, it's okay. I can ask Brother Yunqi who's on patrol..."

He quickly stuffed the remaining Qiong Shi fruit into his mouth and tossed the skewer into the trash can. Bai Jun mumbled, "Forget it. I've consumed a bit too much sugar today. I'll just take a walk to burn it off. I'll take you with me."

"You are indeed a great philanthropist!" Su Shang was immediately moved to tears, and her liking for Bai Jun increased a little more.

"Just by the way... Hey! Stop rubbing your tears on me, you idiot!"

ps: After careful consideration, the plan to launch the product this week has been postponed to next Friday, which means I will write an extra 3 free contents.

And thanks to everyone, I'm already behind on one and a half chapters now. I thought about it and decided to update normally while accumulating manuscripts. When the book is put on the shelves, I will pay off all the chapters I owe in one go, and add 20 chapters by the way!

Finally, thank you to everyone who voted for the monthly ticket and rewarded the blade~

Chapter 26: Dragon Fights Tiger Fights Fox Sees Sorrow (5k)

In the center of Xingcha Sea, the headquarters of Luofu Tianbosi, there stands a square in front of Sichen Palace. A few steps ahead is Kunyutai.

As the saying goes, the earth carries all things like a carriage, which contrasts with the Tianbosi who manages the star rafts in front of the door. The swaying fox tails look busy under the sunlight.

The pilots and navigators of the Tianbosi were busy in front of the towering palace with soaring eaves. Most of them were carrying thick stacks of documents and were walking back and forth on the road between the Sichen Palace and the Kunyu Terrace. From time to time, they would shake the mineral dust from their fox ears and tails and shout anxiously:

"Ahem, have you finished counting the Tianying ore over there? Remember, not a single pound can be undercounted. All of it must be shipped to Xingcha Wharf!"

"That's for sure! But after they arrive at Xingcha Wharf, what happens? Hand them over directly to the company dogs? Honestly, I really want to punch that bastard Scott who's leading the charge in the face."

"You don't need to worry about it. Miss Tingyun will connect with the company's people when the time comes."

After giving the instructions, the flying officer in charge of the inventory waved towards the square on the steps at the corner of the street. Seeing Tingyun nodded in the square, the flying officer turned around and went to take care of other matters after receiving the signal.

Tingyun picked up the seal brush and recorded the details on the bills that needed to be counted, then turned and walked towards the green-haired fox man not far behind him.

Her long green hair was half tied behind her, and the snow-white plush at the collar set off her gorgeous face. The elegant long skirt could not hide her perfect figure. Under the slit skirt was a pair of white and round beautiful legs. The exquisite black high heels on her feet had a gentle and intellectual charm, and the fluffy and soft fox tail made people want to bury their faces in it.

At this moment, he was talking with a pale, pretty woman beside him with a gentle smile: "This time, it is really thanks to Ms. Shensha for this Tianying ore. On behalf of everyone in Tianbosi, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you."

"How could I have deserved such thanks from Lord Siduo? After all, it's just my duty as a businessman, an equal exchange." Shen Sha covered his mouth with his hands, coughed lightly a few times, and shook his head with a smile.

"Ms. Shensha's physical condition..." Yukong pursed his thin lips, and a trace of worry flashed in his gentle and calm eyes.

"No worries, it's just an old hereditary problem, no need to worry about it."

Shen Sha wanted to say something, but when he saw Ting Yun coming over, he took back his words and changed his words, "Since the inventory work is no problem, I will not bother you any further. I have important matters to attend to within the family, so I will take my leave first. If there is anything that needs to be done, please tell my servant Todd."

Pointing to Todd, who was in charge of supervision in the square, Shen Sha nodded to Tingyun who was coming towards him, and then left slowly.

"Master Yukong, this is the bill that has just been counted. Please take a look."

"Ah, thank you for your hard work, Tingyun."

Yukong turned around, took the bill from Tingyun with a smile, glanced at it briefly, and handed it back to her: "You are an expert in this kind of thing, so I will leave it to you to handle it. Don't ask me next time."

"That won't do. Whether we're piloting the Star Raft or commanding the Tianbo Division, Lord Yukong is always on the voyage of the Immortal Boat, and we can never do without Lord Yukong. So don't say that again!" Tingyun puffed up her lips angrily, opened her folding fan, and immediately objected.

"You're such a grown-up, but you're still the same as when you were little."

Hearing her childish words, Yukong chuckled softly, her gentle eyes revealing a motherly love. She reached out her hand, gently rubbed Tingyun's head, and pinched his soft cheeks until Tingyun in front of her blushed and murmured, then she withdrew her hand:

"Alright, I'm going to report to the General. You should hurry to Xingcha Wharf to take care of important matters. Without you, the ferry envoy, there's no one left to deal with the company's lackeys."

"The general is here too?" Tingyun covered his mouth in surprise. Logically speaking, the general's visit was not a small matter. Then he looked around curiously, wondering why he had not noticed it for so long.

Yukong nodded, a helpless smile appeared on his gentle face. He turned sideways and pointed to the door of Sichen Palace: "Look, it's right there."

Tingyun looked in the direction Yukong pointed and saw two figures, one white and one pink, standing in front of the gate of Sichen Palace in the distance. Jing Yuan was standing on the left side of the stone lion, while Fu Xuan from Taibusi was standing on the other side. They were clearly distinguished and easy to see at a glance.

The fox ears trembled slightly. The woman's natural curiosity prompted her to move closer to Yukong and poke her shoulder. "Master Yukong, it's fine if the general is here, but why is Master Taibu here too?"

"The general is here to inspect the Tianying ore, and Fu Taibu... I don't know the details, maybe it will be the same as usual." Yukong used his fox tail to gently push away Tingyun's mischievous little hands and responded helplessly.

Tingyun gradually understood everything. After all, Fu Taibu's intentions were almost known to everyone. He was probably talking to the general about "abdication and making way for the wise" again.

"I understand. Lord Yukong, please go ahead and take care of things. I'm going to Xingcha Wharf to deal with the company."

"Well, please."

Yukong watched Tingyun's back gradually disappear from his sight, then walked towards Jingyuan in front of the Sichen Palace.

The spring breeze in March still felt a bit damp during the day, and it smelled a bit like cotton wool when blowing on the face. A gust of cheerful wind blew by, and Yukong could vaguely hear the argument over there.

"I've had enough! This was the one hundred and twelfth time you promised to recommend me as the next general, and yet I've waited three months and still received no response. This time, you must give me a written consent—!"

The pink-haired Taibu had a tense look on his cute and delicate face, holding a pen in one hand and paper in the other, and staring up at the white-haired general in front of him with a cold look in his eyes.

"Hmm..." Hearing this topic, Jing Yuan yawned nonchalantly and touched his chin perfunctorily.

"You must sign your name, and the date must be in capital letters 12345!"

"Hmm..." Jing Yuan nodded in response as if to say something along the lines of the story.

"Finally, you have to press your handprints, and you are not allowed to let the Lord God take your place. You must press it yourself!"

“Hmm…”

"Jingyuan?"

Seeing Jing Yuan nodding rhythmically throughout, Fu Xuan curiously approached, only to discover he'd dozed off again. Fu Xuan instantly grew furious and said through gritted teeth, "Well, well, if that's the case, then we should finally have a conclusion to the matter we discussed earlier. Bai Jun's talent shouldn't be wasted in the Diheng Division. In my opinion, the General should transfer him back to the Taibu Division as soon as possible so I can continue to discipline him."

"Oh, it seems that this matter is still under discussion. Mr. Fu, please continue to talk about the matter of 'abdication and making way for the wise'. Otherwise, I will sign a signature for you now?" As soon as this topic was mentioned, Jing Yuan's previous drowsiness and perfunctory attitude disappeared instantly. He wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and took the document brought by Fu Xuan with a bright look.

"Jing, Yuan! You are really just trying to fool me!" Fu Xuan clenched his sleeves tightly with his fingers, and his teeth made a squeaking sound.

"How could that be? After I step down, only General Fu can carry the banner of this vast Luofu."

"Hmph, that's more like it... No, you're trying to change the subject again!" Fu Xuan realized something and instantly stopped his proud expression. He raised his face and looked resentfully at Jing Yuan who was trying hard not to laugh.

"Hey, I've been discovered—waaaaa!"

The sudden severe pain from his toes almost made Jing Yuan bite off his tongue. He covered his mouth with all his strength and looked at the passers-by around him with trembling body. If it were not for the general's face, he would have hugged his right foot and howled in pain.

The culprit of all this is the little pink-haired girl in front of him. Who would have thought that she could be so strong.

"Everything in the world has its own way. Even a weak fortune teller can use unique means to strengthen his physique. Jing Yuan, don't underestimate me." Fu Xuan snorted lightly, and his white silk feet lightly touched the ground. The purple particles lingering around his body quickly turned into mist and dissipated.

The kick just now was just a show. She was very sure that such a small amount of force would not cause any harm to the dignified envoy. Seeing Jing Yuan's smile faded, she got down to business and said, "Jing Yuan, I'm not joking. You know that the Taibu Division has been in a period of transition in recent years. The rare young talent is still a lazy one. Bai Jun is a rare talent. I want to train him well."

Jing Yuan curled his lips and shrugged nonchalantly: "Oh, I don't care, but even if I am willing, my Yan Qing will never agree to such a thing. He and Qing Yan have a very good relationship. Of course, if you can convince that kid, I will hand Bai Jun over to you, how about it?"

Pass Yan Qing's test? Everyone in Luofu knows that he is Jing Yuan's most loyal follower. It's hilarious. It's better to believe that you are the emperor of an ancient country than to believe that he can release Bai Jun.

Fu Xuan frowned slightly, then regained his composure, a confident smile on his face. "My Qingque and Bai Jun have a pretty good relationship. How about you bring Bai Jun here and let him choose in person?"

She had her own confidence to say this. Qingque was a pretty girl, and Bai Jun had a good relationship with her. Not to mention that Fu Xuan was despicable and used the beauty trap, Jing Yuan could certainly use the beauty trap as well. It just depended on whether Bai Jun would fall for it.

Fu Xuan couldn't help but smile at the thought that Bai Jun would soon be in her palm. Jing Yuan, who was sitting opposite her, could not help but see her thoughts. He shook his finger and said calmly, "Haha, Fu Qing, you're joking. Qing Yan is the most famous official in the Diheng Division. He is always busy with important tasks. It's not right to delay his precious time to come here, right?"

"What's wrong with that? As the general in charge of Luofu, your orders are not considered important?" Fu Xuan said indifferently.

"Using power for personal gain is not a good tendency. How could Fu Qing say such nonsense?" Seeing that she fell into the trap, Jing Yuan immediately put on a cunning smile like a fox on his face.

"You--!" Fu Xuan was suddenly speechless and could only stare at him angrily.

Just when the tension between the two reached a breaking point, a gentle voice from the air broke the tension in time. Yukong walked over and said in his usual mediating manner, "Since you two have a dispute over Bai Jun's ownership, why don't you hand him over to me? The Tianbo Division is also in need of such talents, and it's just right that my Tingyun can take care of him..."

"no!"

The two of them retorted in unison at this moment, and the object of their tension was directed at the new peacemaker. Then they said some words like "a toad wants to eat swan meat". Their tacit understanding made it hard to believe that these two people had been arguing fiercely just now.

As the helmsman of the Tianbo Division, Yukong is naturally not someone who is willing to suffer bullying. On the contrary, when she was young, she was one of the best speedsters in Luofu. It was only as she got older that she gradually restrained her temperament. When it comes to causing trouble, she is no worse than anyone else.

The veins on Yukong's fair forehead were bulging, and the smile she maintained seemed to be showing signs of crumbling. She took a last look around and confirmed that Tingyun had gone far away, so she pulled open her collar, cleared her throat, and joined the debate about someone's belonging.

............

After turning the corner of Xuanye Avenue, Su Shang soon saw the towering palace with eaves like a bow in the distance, so she couldn't wait to tug at the corner of Bai Jun's clothes, wanting to confirm whether that was the so-called Sichen Palace.

"Yes, yes, Miss Su Shang is really smart."

Bai Jun pulled the corner of his clothes. Su Shang's nagging mouth had annoyed him a lot along the way, so he snorted in annoyance.

"The square right opposite the Sichen Palace is that Kuntai, right? There are so many people here. Bai Jun, are you sure the Yunqi Army came here to report?" Su Shang found a bench, stood on tiptoe, took a quick look, and asked curiously.

"Generally speaking, newly recruited Cloud Cavalry need to report to the local Dongtian Dihengsi or Tianbosi. Your situation is quite special, so I suggest you go directly to the Sichen Palace to inquire."

Bai Jun sighed and pulled Su Chang down from the bench: "And don't stand on public benches, idiot."

"Hey, sorry, sorry, I'll clean it up."

While she was wiping the bench, Bai Jun also took a few glances at the Kunyu Terrace in the distance. Seeing the flying soldiers coming and going and the star rafts loaded with ore, he quickly understood the current situation - probably the matter of Tianbosi acquiring Tianying ore.

"Okay, let's go, we'll be there soon."

In line with the principle of doing good things to the end, Bai Jun planned to take her to Kunyutai and then go to Buyehou for a cup of hot tea.

When they arrived near Kunyu Terrace, all they saw were fluffy fox ears and tails. Su Shang, who was walking on the steps, even felt like she was back in Yaoqing. Bai Jun beside her frowned and looked around uneasily.

His intuition has always been accurate, but now he vaguely feels that something is wrong.

Today, the two stone lions in front of the Sichen Palace still looked majestic, but the people standing beneath them were not the usual Cloud Riders. Bai Jun stopped to take a look and saw that they were Jing Yuan, Yu Kong, and... Fu Xuan!?

Bai Jun's face turned pale. The moment he saw the pink figure, he successfully recalled what he had forgotten yesterday afternoon - he was so busy playing with Bai Lu that he forgot to look for Fu Xuan!

The wind was still flowing wildly, brushing across his face along the spacious aisle. He could faintly hear vague words like "Everything is visible under the eyes of the law" and "Only I can tame him!", which made Bai Jun shiver.

First of all, I'm not afraid of Fu Xuan.

Secondly, I forgot, I must never let Fu Xuan catch me.

Bai Jun's dead fish eyes gradually became sharp. He immediately made a hushing gesture to Su Shang with his finger, then silently retreated into the crowd without saying a word. He lowered his head slightly, tried his best to restrain his breath, and turned around to stay away from this place of trouble.

However, Su Shang seemed to have not understood his meaning at all. She blinked her clear eyes and shouted in a very unromantic manner, "Bai Jun! Don't leave. Wait until I finish reporting and then I'll treat you to a meal, okay?"

"?"

After triggering the keyword, the three people under the stone lions in the distance suddenly exuded a dangerous aura like a predatory beast, and instantly locked their eyes on Bai Jun, who was pale and about to escape in the crowd.

"You are such a nonsensical person, what are you doing?!"

Bai Jun was horrified, and his arm, which was pointing at Su Chang, trembled uncontrollably. Before he could turn around, a speeding shadow swept by a howling storm had already arrived beside him.

In less than half a breath, Yukong, who knew how to strike first, pressed his shoulders firmly with both hands. His soft, crimson-purple eyes revealed an unprecedented seriousness. "Okay, Bai Jun, I know this is sudden for you, but I still want to ask, are you willing to come to the Tianbo Division to assist me?"

"Huh? What are you talking about—ugh!"

Not to mention waiting for Bai Jun's reply, he didn't even need his attitude. Yukong took out a long-prepared contract of selling himself from his arms, took out his lipstick, and forcibly grabbed Bai Jun's fingers and pressed them up.

"Yukong Siduo has a good method, but before that, let Qingyan speak first before making a final conclusion, right?"

A bolt of lightning suddenly struck the ground, and as the flaming talisman rose, the golden lightning that descended hundreds of meters long coiled in the sky and turned into a magnificent spirit. It was none other than the Lord of Thunder, the chief commander of the Divine Sky Palace, who had been guarding the Jade Realm Gate before and was able to drive away thunder and lightning to chase down demons and eliminate filth.

The only difference was that he did not hold the formation knife, but instead bent his hand and pulled Bai Jun away from Yukong like a chicken, and put him next to Jingyuan.

"Jing Yuan, you scoundrel! Did the Lord God allow you to use it like this?" Short-legged Fu Xuan arrived at this moment and angrily pointed at Jing Yuan who was occupying Bai Jun and shouted, "You are completely using public power for personal gain!"

"I didn't call the Lord God. He came here on his own initiative."

Jing Yuan took out two lollipops from his pocket and stuffed them into Bai Jun's mouth. He turned around and spread his hands helplessly. The disgusting smile in his eyes made Fu Xuan furious.

If she gets the God in the future, she will order him to pry off Jingyuan's roof while he is sleeping at night.

Yukong stood there in a daze the moment Bai Jun was taken away, staring blankly at the golden shadow in the sky. She never thought that the God would actually take action for such a thing.

God: Then I leave?

The big commotion caused by the God in the street had already thrown the surrounding flying soldiers and pedestrians into chaos. On the other hand, Su Shang was like nothing had happened, staring foolishly at the majestic spirit in the sky, nodding and sighing from time to time.
