"Alright, alright, judging from your appearance, you must be from outside the country. I won't blame you for not knowing. Go up the stairs in front of Sichen Palace, turn right, then walk straight through the square and turn right again."

"Okay, thank you... Uh, what should I call you...?"

Looking at the little girl who was over three hundred years old in front of him, March 7th was in a dilemma.

"Just call me Auntie."

"Thank you, Auntie... Thank you for your trouble..."

Even though it's called that, March 7th still feels a bit strange.

"You're welcome. If you really want to thank me, you can come to my restaurant in Jinren Lane. Our spicy braised beef offal is absolutely amazing..."

The young woman rummaged around for a while before finally leaving, and March 7th finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking back, I saw everyone staring at me with smiles, as if they were watching a joke.

"What?! Xing, why did you make me ask for directions?! Next time, you come and ask for directions yourself!"

March 7th, ugh!

Following the aunt's directions, the group finally arrived at the entrance of Sichen Palace.

Tingyun had been waiting there for a while, looking around listlessly.

Just as they were about to go over, Walter called them back.

"Wait a minute, about the audience later. Let me give you both a heads-up: be sure to stay alert and take it seriously."

"Is Uncle Yang worried that we'll repeat the same mistake as Belloberg when we meet with the commander of the Immortal Ship this time?"

On March 7th, Yang Shu asked the question, while Bronya, standing to the side, seemed a little embarrassed.

"No, the Immortal Ship Alliance is not that bad. However, like that Miss Tingyun, although they are on good terms with us on the surface, they are still wary of us. After all, the timing of our arrival at the Immortal Ship was indeed unfortunate. I'm afraid that the Captain will raise these issues one by one."

"How about we practice first?" Qiong asked tentatively.

"A drill?" March 7 looked at Qiong in confusion. How could this be a drill?

"We have a leader here, right? He must have experience in this area."

Qiong nodded very seriously, then looked at Bronya.

Bronya was taken aback, then blushed slightly and quickly waved her hand.

"What leader... Qiong, please don't joke with me..."

“It’s alright, Bronya. Just think about what you would do if Belloberg was being attacked and a stranger suddenly came to visit and offered to help you for free.”

Zhou Xingxing smiled and said to Bronya.

"Well... naturally, we need to first ascertain your intentions, whether you have any ulterior motives, or whether this is a smokescreen thrown by the enemy to mislead us..."

Bronya, as expected of the Silvermane Guard commander, threw out a series of questions in just two minutes.

"See? I wasn't joking with Bronya. She's been a leader before, so she's quite reliable."

After listening to Bronya's detailed explanation, Qiong nodded in satisfaction.

"It's just a habit..."

Bronya realized her professional habit had kicked in after she finished speaking; she had been looking extremely serious, as if she were genuinely scrutinizing a stranger's intentions.

Walter watched quietly from the side, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Perhaps it wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to answer it myself later.

"How are the preparations going? I'm going to leave the audience to you all later. I think you can handle it."

"Hey! I'm bad with words, I can't come!"

March 7th quickly waved his hand.

Qiong shook her head like a sieve, indicating that she only knew how to use her hands, not her mouth.

"Then let Bronya and Xing handle it. If you can't solve it, then I'll step in."

Walter didn't say anything, but looked at the two of them and asked.

"No problem, Uncle Yang will cover for us anyway."

Stephen Chow smiled and didn't take it to heart.

Bronya, on the other hand, seemed a little nervous, after all, compared to Beloberg, the scale of this fairy ship was much larger.

However, having been a leader before, he calmed down after a moment, regained his composure, and nodded to Walter.

It's time for me to do my part for the train crew.

Seeing that the tasks had been assigned, Walter didn't waste any more words and led everyone toward the entrance of the Sichen Palace.

"Oh dear, my benefactors have finally arrived! I've kept you waiting for quite some time."

Tingyun's bored expression vanished instantly, replaced by a welcoming smile.

"I'm sorry, Miss Tingyun. I just introduced everyone to the special drinks of Xianzhou, and I almost couldn't recover."

Xing explained to Tingyun.

"It's not that bad. It's not like we almost drank ourselves to death..."

March 7th felt a little embarrassed. Although the soda soy milk tasted very strange, it wasn't so bad that she couldn't recover.

"Specialty drinks... Oh~ My benefactors are quite daring. Although I have lived in the Immortal Ship for so many years, I have never dared to try soda soy juice."

Tingyun chuckled twice and teased.

"You've definitely been up to no good all along!"

Qiong looked sullen as she spoke to Zhou Xingxing.

"No, I'm really having a soy allergy today."

"today!?"

Just as Qiong was about to punch her chest again, Walter stopped her.

"Let's save the horseplay for later, Miss Tingyun. Please take us to see the Master of the Helmsman."

"I have already informed the Master of the Helmsman. My benefactors, please go in. I will not join in the fun."

Tingyun smiled but showed no intention of going in.

Walter nodded and said nothing more, then led the group into the Sichen Palace.

The Sichen Palace was bustling with people, indicating that it was a busy time.

A green-haired fox-woman turned to face the crowd, her eyes slightly closed, and spoke in a serious tone.

Noticing the group enter, Yu Kong turned around and gave them a brief greeting.

"Greetings, guests of the Starry Sky Train. Tingyun has already informed me of your purpose. Since you know about the Star Core and have stated your intention to help Luo Fu, I must give you a face-to-face opportunity to refuse you."

"We haven't even said anything, and we've already been rejected?"

Bronya had prepared her speech, but Yu Kong's words completely ruined it.

Helpless, Bronya glanced at Stephen Chow beside her.

"Why is the captain in such a hurry to refuse?"

Zhou Xingxing looked at Yu Kong and asked calmly.

"It's just a mere star core. The Alliance has long been aware of it and has its own ways of dealing with it. The Immortal Ship has been sailing for eight thousand years and has seen countless crises and annihilations. Although the current disaster is coming on strong, the Immortal Ship has the capacity to handle it on its own and does not need to rely on outsiders to quell the calamity."

There was a hint of disdain in Yu Kong's eyes.

The star core, known as the cancer of all things, might be considered a disaster in many civilizations, but it is nothing compared to the Immortal Ship, and can only be regarded as a minor trouble.

"Your Excellency is mistaken. As the saying goes, there must be something fishy going on. The star core may not be a disaster for the Immortal Ship, because the disasters the Immortal Ship faces are not just a single star core."

Upon hearing Zhou Xingxing's words, Yu Kong's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at him.

"What do you mean by that, sir?"

"Our original route for the Starry Sky Train was to Pinocchio. Our arrival at the Immortal Ship was merely a coincidence; I happened to be passing through and cast a divination for Luofu. The divination indicated that if the Starry Sky Train ignored this matter, more than half of Luofu's population would perish, and half of Luofu would cease to exist. We, the Starry Sky Train, are upright and honorable people, and naturally cannot bear to see such a horrific tragedy. That is why we came here to lend a helping hand to Luofu."

Hearing Stephen Chow rambling on, March 7th couldn't help but nudge Qiong.

"I have this feeling that we were just rejected, but if we keep talking, we're going to get arrested?"

I think so too...

Qiong rolled her eyes.

Even Walter was starting to regret it.

Okay, okay, I told you I'd cover for you, and this is how you play along...?

"What nonsense!"

Yu Kong frowned and gave a soft rebuke.

The surroundings immediately fell silent. Everyone saw that this group had actually angered the captain, so they all put down what they were doing and wanted to watch the show.

"The Ten Kings' Offices are stationed above Luofu, and the Grand Diviner's Office controls all movements. Furthermore, General Jingyuan, who is the Hunting Commander and the commander of Luofu, is also here."

Yu Kong spoke in a calm voice, each word laced with anger.

"Tell me, how could more than half of the people in my Luofu have perished, and how could half of Luofu cease to exist? Looking across the entire universe, who could do that?"

Listening to Yu Kong's words, Stephen Chow slowly and deliberately uttered eight words.

"The Star-Hunting God, the Imperial Bow Master of Fate."

Chapter 119 The Stargazer

Upon hearing this, even the onlookers around them showed expressions of surprise.

Everyone found this statement utterly ridiculous. While it was true that the Emperor Bow Master possessed such power and had indeed destroyed nearly one-fifth of the Fanghu Immortal Ship with a single arrow, this was not the case.

However, this occurred during the Third Abundant People's War, and the Emperor's Bow Master destroyed the Fanghu in order to wipe out the Abundant People.

In this peaceful and prosperous era, the Immortal Ship Alliance is already a dominant force in the universe. How could the invasion of the Abundant People happen again?

Moreover, the extent of the disaster described by this person far surpasses that of the Third Plenty War.

Yu Kong's eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze toward Zhou Xingxing became somewhat solemn.
