"I have no brains."
Xing decisively injured 800 enemies and lost 1,000 of his own.
"You...six."
I have nothing to say on March 7th. I feel like no matter how much I say, it's like punching rotten cotton.
At this point, San Yue Qi suddenly remembered something, looked at everyone, scratched his head again, and asked.
"Speaking of which, we are going to meet Master Yukong from the Tianbo Division soon. Should we wash our hair before going?"
Xing stared at March Seven and rubbed his chin. He always felt that these words were a little familiar.
Ah, I remembered it!
Xing patted her head, then she crossed her arms over her chest and raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Be good, let's not wash our hair. After all, I didn't wash my hair when I was in Beloberg."
After being reminded of this, San Yue Qi also remembered it. She spread her hands and said helplessly.
"Uh... you still remember this..."
"Forget it, I won't bother with you about this." Xing waved her hand, and the idle chatter stopped there. She propped her chin up and thought, "You mentioned Yukong just now, but from what Tingyun said before, Yukong seems to be difficult to deal with..."
"We are not going to deal with her, don't worry. We act in an open and aboveboard manner, there is nothing to be afraid of."
Walter understood very well that their main purpose was to help Xianzhou resolve the crisis of the star core. With such a simple purpose, they had nothing to fear.
March 7 couldn't help but complain when he heard Walter's words.
"We were pretty upright in Beloberg... but we were still wanted in the end, weren't we? And Kevin said there might be internal troubles within the Immortal Boat. What if Yukong is black when cut open like Cocolia? What should we do?"
San Yueqi became more and more worried the more she spoke. She didn't want to be wanted again!
Xing standing by also started to speculate on the conspiracy.
"This process is somewhat similar to that of Beloberg. Are we going to repeat the same mistake again? Is Xianzhou going to attack the hotel as well?!"
"Uh... the Immortal Boat Alliance shouldn't be so rude and brainless as to do such a low-level thing as attacking the hotel."
Kevin denied her somewhat unconventional idea.
"But when Yukong meets us, he will definitely ask a series of questions—"
Kevin then gave another example.
"Why did we choose this time to come to the Immortal Boat? How did we know that this disaster was related to the star core? Who revealed the news of the Immortal Boat to us?..."
Walter nodded and took over the conversation.
"If you answer carelessly, it is likely to cause vigilance and hostility, and it will be more difficult to proceed."
Seeing Walter’s serious look, March Seven also knew the seriousness of the matter. She glanced at Xing and said in a panic.
"This is terrible. Xing and I are both tongue-tied. We are prone to say the wrong things if we are not careful..."
Xing crossed his arms across his chest and said with an unconvinced look on his face.
"You have a huge misunderstanding of me. I can actually keep silent..."
San Yueqi acted like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, and said confidently with his hands on his hips.
"Look, I said the wrong thing again."
Xing spread her hands. She didn't know how to comment, so she could only ask in confusion.
"So you are in a state of superposition of saying the wrong thing and saying the conversation?"
Seeing that the two of them were somewhat entangled, Walter glanced at Kevin and said.
"There will always be a way out when the time comes. Don't worry, Kevin and I will handle it when the time comes."
Kevin nodded and said calmly.
"As for whether Yukong has any problems or is in the same situation as Tingyun, we will deal with it accordingly. If there are any problems, I will remind everyone. However, please try to be friendly. The matter of Danheng has not been dealt with yet..."
Everyone nodded, especially Xing and Sanyueqi. They were not very good at talking, but they knew how to shut up.
Kevin had given almost all the instructions he needed. He looked at everyone, stood up, raised his hand and made a wave in the air, and the barrier was removed.
The noisy sounds of footsteps and conversations around them once again reached everyone's ears. At the same time, a series of message reminders rang out.
The voice came from Xing's pocket. Xing quickly lowered his head and took out his mobile phone to check. The one who sent the message was Tingyun. The last message was three minutes ago, but the reminder popped up now. It seemed that the barrier blocked the transmission of the signal.
"It's Tingyun."
Xing said to everyone while looking at the message box on the lock screen of her phone.
Kevin leaned in closer and looked down, then said calmly.
"Let's see, maybe she has finished her report and has some news."
Xing nodded and entered the chat software, and what caught her eye was the message sent by Tingyun.
……
Tingyun: Are you there?
Tingyun: Benefactor...
Tingyun: Sir, I want to ask you something.
……
Xing raised his head and held up his phone to show the chat messages to everyone.
"She doesn't seem to be here to inform us to go?"
March 7th looked at the chat messages and thought.
"Reply her normally and see what she has to say."
Kevin on the side suggested.
Xing nodded and lowered his head to reply.
……
Xing: The signal was bad just now, and I just received the message. What’s wrong?
Tingyun: It may sound disrespectful, but I am very curious...
……
Tingyun replied almost instantly, and after Xing finished reading this message, he saw that she had sent another one.
……
Tingyun: Could it be that the train arrives at Xianzhou just to help Luofu solve the trouble caused by the star core?
Xing: Is it so hard to understand the purpose of the train? Can't people act to accomplish some good deeds?
Tingyun: After all, people who don't care about loss or reward, and are willing to take risks to work for others, are rarer than air in a vacuum in this dangerous journey across the galaxy.
Tingyun: When the powerful Xianzhou bosses first heard your intentions, they would inevitably think that you are either seeking immortality or craving for star cores...
Star: Longing for immortality? Sorry, we are not interested; saying we long for star cores? You are overthinking it. The train has handled quite a few star cores along the way. Why would we long for such a strange thing that cuts off the star track?
……
Xing stopped typing, feeling a little unhappy. She still had a star core in her body? She was craving for a star core? Wasn't that going to make her explode or melt instantly?
As for immortality, she is still young and it is not the time for her to think about it yet.
Although she found it interesting when she first heard the word "immortal boat", she lost interest when she later learned that the demonic body was the final outcome of the immortal boat's longevity seed.
Besides, on the train, San Yue Qi and Dan Heng were mysterious and their ages were unknown. Uncle Yang was said to be nearly a hundred years old, and Brother Kevin even said he was over 50,000 years old. They still looked very young, so it was better not to be interested in them.
Thinking of this, Xing knew that Tingyun was testing her, but she still typed and asked.
……
Xing: Besides, pursuing immortality is absolutely forbidden in the Immortal Boat, right?
Tingyun: Yes, Xianzhou is the home of the immortal species. There are countless medicine seekers from all over the star sea who want to repeat the old events and find the secret of the immortals' life extension.
Tingyun: I have said so much without realizing it. I have overstepped my bounds.
Tingyun: I absolutely believe in the sincerity of the benefactor, but the powerful people think more than a small pawn like me.
Tingyun: So, when you meet Lord Yukong later, please be careful and don’t say the wrong thing...
Xing: Got it, thanks for the reminder
……
After finishing the chat with Tingyun, Xing handed the phone to everyone. March 7 quickly took the phone and started looking through it, but Kevin and Walter had already read the chat messages in full.
Xing glanced at March 7 and began to explain his conclusion.
"I think Tingyun is mainly testing our intentions, which is a normal thought. However, she reminded us to be careful. As for her position... I am a little confused. After all, we all know that she has some problems."
Kevin couldn't help but praise her when he saw her analyzing so seriously.
"Your judgment ability has indeed improved a lot, and your analysis is extremely reasonable."
Kevin paused, he looked up at the Sichen Palace high above and said.
"But speculation also needs to be verified by facts. Let's go to the Palace of Hours. Some things must be confronted head-on."
……
Everyone walked towards the Sichen Palace. Along the way, they encountered the Yunqi Army blocking some passages. They also saw some people trying to get in by maneuvering in front of the Yunqi Army.
There are workers who are worried about their income because of missed work, there are also people who say that their relatives are left in the area affected by the accident and they want to rescue them, and there are also people who are anxiously going there to do business.
However, the Cloud Cavalry only said that passage was prohibited and that there would be danger to life, but they did not mention that the situation was caused by the star core. When everyone asked, the reply was still "the current situation is complicated and the situation is not yet clear."
The time of the star core explosion was not just one or two hours ago. It was obvious that the authorities deliberately blocked the information. After all, the impact of the star core was well-known throughout the world and it was bound to cause great panic.
……
Everyone came to the square in front of the Sichen Palace. Apart from the numerous Yunqi soldiers, there were very few other people here. However, Tingyun's red and white dress was very eye-catching.
Seeing everyone arriving, Tingyun hurriedly stepped forward and greeted them.
"Eh? You benefactors have arrived quite early. Sorry for the long wait. Lord Yukong is waiting for you in the Sichen Palace."
