Upon hearing this, the four Xianzhou masters present all glanced at Kong with eyes that said, "Sure enough, the club members are all monsters!", and then looked at Ruan Mei, who was silent, with some trepidation.
"Although the Dan Ding Division was the first to suffer, the recipients of the Medicine King's secret teachings were mostly people from the Dan Ding Division... Doctor Kong, please don't make this public after this—"
"Why are you looking at me like that? I still have some service spirit."
"...You are joking. We know you have just experienced a fierce battle, but as long as the general cannot give instructions, Luofu will not be at peace. I will send Tingyun to send you to Changletian. Someone will be assigned to contact you. Taibu, are you ready?"
"...Why is it a fox?" Paimeng was stunned.
Ting Yukong immediately put the blame back on Tingyun, causing Xiao Sanyue, who had been angry before, to burst out laughing, with a somewhat funny expression on her face:
She didn't escape in the end.
"It's all done. After the Qiongguan formation is adjusted, I will go to Changletian to meet up with you. For the sake of simplicity, please follow the disciples I sent to explore first."
Fu Xuan was about to remind the train crew that traveling in such a large group might alert the enemy, but seeing their indifferent attitude, he probably guessed that they didn't think the task was challenging, so he left with an expectant look and disappeared.
"The judge currently in Changle Heaven... Jackdaw, is accompanied by twenty underworld officials. Let them lend a helping hand."
"The Earth Observation Department should fully cooperate. Please put the Jade Omen... mobile phone on the star disk. The certificate will be issued to your terminal to facilitate your passing through various checkpoints."
"drop."
"That's it - but due to the shortage of manpower, I have temporarily given the authority to dispatch the Commissioner of the Land and Resources Bureau to Dr. Kong. Thank you for your understanding. In addition, I have a humble request..."
"You speak."
"Changletian is the heart of Luofu, the main commercial lifeline and residential area. If we fight with the Medicine King there and cause a large-scale panic, it will add more pressure on the dispatch... If you are worried about your personal safety being threatened, please find the judge and the local land weight in advance for fighting."
"...Are you looking down on this Lady Builder? She can take down those criminals by herself."
"Yes, I didn't recognize the real talent——"
The person in charge of this land is really humble.
……
It's true that the feeling of being respected is different. Xiao Sanyue looked radiant when he went out, and Yuyun, who was almost completely ignored, also got some benefit - Yukong promised to help him contact the ranger brothers in Luofu to explore some locations that Yunqi was not convenient to explore.
Of course, there were also companions who were completely unimpressed by the string of rainbow farts that just made them feel so good.
"Why didn't they mistake me and my master for Xianzhou people when they saw us? Is it because we didn't pretend well enough?"
Standing on the street in front of the Sichen Palace, Shen He searched for a long time but only asked an irrelevant question.
For her, gaining profits and making Xianzhou owe her favors were not really worth worrying about - ever since Yukong mentioned that Medicine King had secretly used poisonous smoke to harm people, they had been on Shenhe's list of people to eliminate evil.
"Because you don't have any high-tech equipment on you, it seems to them that you appeared out of thin air, and that's actually the case." Kong explained while looking at Liu Yun who seemed to be thinking about something. "Or they think you are some friendly visitors who have returned to nature. It doesn't matter."
"But your request in the letter is that you hope the helpers can integrate into the local cultural circle - I don't think my master and I can relate."
"Now that you're here, don't worry about the details."
In this era, there are no real immortals. Knights can still be seen, but the ideals that Liu Yun and Shen He uphold make people feel that they are too upright after just a few words... If they were not so powerful, it would be hard not to worry that they would starve to death on the boat.
"Shen He, you should study more and make yourself less obtrusive as soon as possible. For someone like me, you should not be ashamed to ask questions about things you don't understand."
That woman didn't have her own beauty and figure, so it was hard for the locals to ignore her existence. She was still teaching her useless apprentice:
"Also, have you noticed that in Luofu, there is elemental force flowing everywhere. It will disperse, but most of it will converge to one place."
Liu Yun looked at the busy streets, but his gaze went straight through the Jade Realm Gate to where the Taibusi was:
"I see. That Taibu's divination is based on his omnipresent vision."
"Big data system plus giant quantum computer, right? But she can know Cocolia's identity. The coverage of that thing is a bit scary."
Sora was pretty sure that the little rich woman hadn't let on that Beloberg still had a former Great Guardian on the run.
"My benefactor, are you interested in the Qiongguan Formation? Unfortunately, it is too far from the Xingcha Sea. Once things are settled, I will book a tour group for you to take a look. How do you think?"
Tingyun, who was called back by Yukong, had her tail drooped, and she was visibly depressed. But contrary to her tail, her curved eyes were still staring at Kong in a very charming way, as if she wanted him to melt in a pool of spring water and find no fault with him... well, or rather, she was a little too attentive that people couldn't help but think in that direction.
After many attempts, she was now certain that Kong had an ambiguous relationship with his group of friends, and that he was not that picky. As long as she built a good relationship with him, she would not be complained or blamed.
"Hehe, let us catch you. If you don't lead the team properly this time, we will report you to the commanding officer of the Controlling Aircraft Division!"
March seemed to be transformed, and it turned up its nose and teased Tingyun.
"Well, for the next few days, whether it's daily expenses or communication, I will do my best and book an inn of the highest standard - please have mercy on me, hero~"
This guy was just about to hold Sanyue's hand to establish friendship - but Kong could tell from his sparkling eyes that he was a vixen in every sense of the word, not the same as the retired soldier in the Sichen Palace. After confirming the authenticity of their identities, he immediately became very attentive. He must have charmed many interstellar merchants in the past.
Now that I think about it, she just happened to appear in the port and was rescued by me. If you insist, it can be said to be a not-so-subtle coincidence.
And there was a detail about this fox, Sora was not quite sure why.
Be it the Cloud Cavalry or the bosses of the Four Departments, their relationship with their train crew has always been neutral. Even Fu Xuan, who seemed to have a good impression of them, was only shown as a green dot on the small map after Kong nodded and agreed to advance and retreat together. As for Ting Yun... he was already a friendly unit before they met.
"…How's the tavern?"
Out of caution, Sora tried her.
"? My benefactor, would you like to have a drink? I have a good place to recommend, in the most prosperous area of Changletian~"
"On the rocks? I've forgotten what Louvre drinks taste like - will they be spicy?"
"If you are not used to strong liquor, there are also various star products sent by the company~"
"…Forget it, I won't drink it."
This guy is not the Masked Fool nor Yi Ting? Could he be the Riddler?
Kong had no awareness at all that he was the Riddler at the moment.
...But since she has been a "friendly army" for a long time...it means that her favorability is very high. We can't be too harsh on her and need to take it step by step.
"…The benefactor really cares about the overall situation~"
Without having to look closely at Ting Yunnan Bang's expression, Kong could imagine that she was probably cursing herself for being a god of gold.
It's what she deserves, so let's just call it fair.
343. Let me take a stab at something!
[Guang Yunxiu has closed the shop. Miss Yu Yu left a notice and is going to visit relatives in Jinren Lane——]
[You've arrived? I guess my sister ran away early because she saw that Xingchahai was in trouble. She has always had a keen sense of smell... Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Danheng! I'm glad to know that she's okay.]
[You're welcome. This place has been completely blocked. I need to find another opportunity to reunite with everyone.]
[Dan Heng, I can get you a pass to pass through the checkpoint. I'll pass it to you now.]
[Not yet. The reason why I was exiled is quite complicated. Even if you have gained the trust of Siduo, please do not disclose our acquaintance to Tianbosi for the time being.]
[Okay, then you can do whatever you want. We are in Changletian. We will let you know in advance when we leave for Shen Ce Mansion.]
【be safe. 】
After hanging up the public channel, Kong's eyes fell on the skirt of the girl who was leaning half of her body over the railing in a dangerous posture.
March kept exclaiming in surprise. It can be seen that even the unknown guest patrolling the stars was attracted by the prosperity of Changletian, so what Tingyun said was true.
Logically speaking, Chang Le Tian, who is close to the Cave Heaven of Shen Ce Mansion, should not be happy now——
However, the Dihengsi controlled the pass leading to the Shen Ce Cave Heaven, and few people could pass through here on weekdays. Those who came and went were either officials or cloud riders, which prevented the Xianzhou people who were addicted to consumption and entertainment from panicking.
Compared to the hustle and bustle of Xingchahai, the first impression this place gives people is that of a typical pedestrian commercial street, the kind where no means of transportation are allowed to run around. Therefore, the train sets that can take Xingcha to land have attracted a lot of unexpected attention.
But that was all; they had seen many barbarians, and also many barbarians of noble status.
Old Yang frowned - the locals who were watching the fun had no idea that a biochemical crisis was happening in the cave next door:
[They are blocking the news so close to us. Aren’t they afraid that the pollution will spread and there will not be enough time to relocate the residents? ]
[If the news is made public, Yunqi may lose control of Changletian, and a large number of panicked residents will rush out, and there is a risk of letting the suspect escape. In addition, the airtightness of the cave is very good, and there are space partitions. Unless all the Yunqi inside are dead and the evil creature touches the door key, Changletian is still safe. ]
What Kong was more concerned about was whether the secret teachings of the King of Medicine mentioned by Fu Xuan could be used to contact the people of Fengrao in the outside world. The hidden star core seriously interfered with conventional communications. The signal was already very bad when Chang Letian called the Return Star Port. Although it was very likely that these criminals could not contact the outside world...but it is better to be safe than sorry. Who knows if they can use the cup-breaking signal to signal the wild daddy outside while distributing the secret keys.
Due to the interference, Fu Xuan had no idea whether there were any enemies on standby around the immortal boat, and how many there were.
In the end, it had to turn into a very funny situation - they said they had gained air supremacy inside, but in fact they had not completely taken it. Befa and Noshiro, who originally planned not to participate in the battle, had to set up anti-aircraft guns in the direction of Yujie Gate. In case any dirty stuff got in, they had to provide cover for the pilots... They really had to play both the role of father and mother.
"Luofu's business activities are more developed than those of other immortal ships. Only Yuque can compare with us. It is not an exaggeration to say that we are the most open immortal ship in the alliance~"
Tingyun, who was used to being "scrutinized" by big shots, ignored Kong and Lao Yang's rather dissatisfied looks at the fairy boat's "continuing music and dancing" and formally introduced them to several of the more famous tourist attractions here and told them the business stories behind them.
"Girl, the rise and fall of Changletian is indeed quite interesting... But I am not here to listen to the story. Where is your support?"
Liuyun couldn't say she was not interested in the myriad treasures in Changletian and Tingyun's various rhetoric for recommending local investment, but she was afraid that she would not have enough fun before finishing her work.
"Don't be impatient, benefactor~ The 'master' and the judge haven't arrived yet. If we go to look for the criminals secretly taught by the King of Medicine, we might alert them~"
Although no one expected her to take part in the fight, Tingyun implemented a full set of self-protection strategies from beginning to end, fearing that the group would take her closer to the criminals.
"As long as you are not in a hurry - where are the police from the Land and Resources Bureau? I will first ask them about the enemy's distribution."
"The local police...? You'd better ask the headmaster. The fortune teller may know more than the commissioner of the Land and Resources Bureau."
"Since he's called the leader, he must be a high-ranking official, right?" Paimeng shook his finger.
"...My dear benefactor, actually, the headmaster is just a nickname——"
“It’s over, I’m dead!!”
Before Tingyun could explain the nickname in detail, everyone saw a small head sliding in from outside the berth in a face-brake posture.
Kong felt that this girl at least had a horrible nose that was worn flat, but the visitor raised her head in panic, with a slightly red nose, and kept apologizing to him, making it difficult for anyone to see her appearance.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I just received the order and didn't expect Taibu to assign me such an important task. I wasn't ready for a while!"
"Slow down, girl. No one blames you. Just get it straightened out first."
The little girl was so anxious that she spoke without punctuation, but when she saw that Kong was still giving her a calm smile, the fortune teller took a long breath and spoke in an uneasy tone that was full of embarrassment: "VIPs of the club, guests of the train - I am a fortune teller from the Taibu Division, and I have been entrusted by the Taibu Division to bring you the encrypted jade omen!"
"...Isn't that Qingque? I just saw her having fun in the card room. Was she caught by her superiors?"
"Not really - the blonde one looks like a barbarian. The one who caught her before was a girl with pink hair."
Qingque originally wanted to just briefly mention her work number and name to avoid the big shots from getting worried, but she was sold out on the spot by a few unfamiliar poker friends passing by. Her neck was stiff, as if a turret with its seat ring was shattered. The fluctuating smile on her face reminded Kong of a distorted gravitational tide diagram, which was very abstract.
"The information of those suspected perpetrators... is all in here."
Qingque realized that his life might reach a low point or even end early, so he was willing to give it a try. He raised his hands and handed the pink and purple phone to Kong: "...I received an order temporarily, so I went to the Land Observation Department to correct the information of several related personnel. In the end, there were only two people who needed to be monitored. Taibu said that you are in the light, and she and the judge are in the dark, so you can contact the suspect first. I trust your judgment."
"The one who planted it?"
