Whether it's true or false, once these words are spoken, it's impossible for me to refuse directly, and for a moment I find myself in a dilemma.

"Uncle Yang, aren't you going to say anything? I have a feeling we're going to get arrested again!"

March 7th whispered in Walter's ear.

"Xing's actions are indeed sometimes unpredictable, but judging from the results, it seems that he always planned it in advance. Let's trust him."

Walter whispered words of reassurance to the crowd.

"At this time, the Star Core is in turmoil, and although the situation is not yet serious, your spreading such rumors will surely cause panic among the uninformed people of the Immortal Ship."

"Let's not even talk about how you know about the Star Core incident you mentioned, which only happened a few days ago. I retrieved the entry and exit records of the Star Chariot Sea. Not long ago, someone hacked into the system, opened the Jade Gate, and guided a ship into the port. The ship that entered was the Starry Sky Train. Furthermore, based on the mark left by the hacker, which seemed to be a provocation, it was clearly the work of Silver Wolf, one of the Star Core Hunters. How does the Starry Sky Train explain this?"

After pondering for a while, Yu Kong made his decision.

"I'm afraid you can't leave for now. Cloud Cavalry, take these men into custody for now, and I will question them later."

Upon hearing this, several Cloud Cavalry soldiers approached the group with their weapons.

"Um, Uncle Yang... what did you just say?"

March 7th looked at Walter with a somewhat speechless expression.

Walter was also slightly embarrassed and wished he could take back what he had just said.

Just as Walter was about to explain, a calm and composed voice came from beside everyone.

"Yukong, don't be so cruel. If word spreads, wouldn't it make the Galaxy laugh at the Immortal Boat Alliance for not being able to treat guests?"

With a hint of languor, Jing Yuan walked to Yu Kong's side and spoke slowly.

"General Jingyuan... but did you hear what this man just said?"

Yu Kong nodded to Jing Yuan.

“Of course, but how could the Star Train possibly ally with the Star Core Hunters? They're mortal enemies. Besides, this young man claims to know divination? So it's not surprising that he knows some secrets,”

Jing Yuan smiled dismissively, completely ignoring Yu Kong's words, and then looked at Zhou Xingxing with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Naturally, my nickname is Mr. Stargazer."

Zhou Xingxing nodded, adding another layer to his reputation.

"Master Stargazer... What a fine name! This title is truly remarkable and surely beyond the reach of ordinary people."

Jing Yuan nodded slightly and said with great admiration.

As expected of a general, his words are so pleasant to hear. Although I knew it was just polite talk, it did ease the tension considerably.

"I forgot to introduce myself. I am Jing Yuan, the General of the Cloud Cavalry of Luofu."

"Greetings, General Jingyuan."

Stephen Chow nodded slightly and greeted him.

"General, this is an internal matter for Luofu..."

Yu Kong's tone was somewhat helpless, as if he knew that he couldn't interfere with what was about to happen.

"Yes, yes, internal affairs—I completely agree with the Skymaster's opinion."

Jing Yuan nodded repeatedly, then looked at everyone.

"I'm sorry, everyone in the train crew. There is indeed a star core on 'Luofu,' but I must decline your offer: this is a problem with the celestial vessel, and it's something we can only solve ourselves."

"As for what Mr. Guanxing said, there is indeed something strange about the star core. I will immediately order the Imperial Stud to investigate it. There is no need for you all to worry about it."

"But since we've already come all this way, how can we let you all leave empty-handed! Although we cannot accept the Train Group's help regarding the 'Star Core' matter, I do have another matter that I absolutely must ask of you! Please!"

Jing Yuan gestured for everyone to go aside and have a private chat.

In response, March 7, who thought nothing was wrong, said, "He really knows how to boss people around!"

Seeing this, Yu Kong said nothing more, dismissed the Cloud Cavalry, and went back to his own business.

Jingyuan then recounted the story of the Star Core Hunter's encounter with Kafka, essentially asking for everyone's help in tracking down and capturing Kafka, whom they had not yet caught.

"When...when was that Blade captured on the Immortal Ship?"

Walter frowned slightly upon hearing this.

After all, he had seen this person once at the Black Tower Space Station not long ago, and the impression was quite deep.

"Just five days ago."

“Five days ago... but at that time, the train crew was at the Black Tower Space Station, and the Star Core Hunters launched an attack on the space station, with even the Black Tower personally involved. And among those Star Core Hunters who attacked was the Blade that the general mentioned.”

Walter recounted the events, but he felt there was something fishy about it.

“Yes, there is something fishy about this. I have indeed heard about the attack on the Black Tower space station and that Lady Black Tower personally took action. But it is also an indisputable fact that we captured the Star Core Hunter five days ago.”

"As for how this blade appeared in both places at the same time... let's leave that aside for now. At least the 'blade' above Luofu is no longer a concern for you. All you need to do is lure Kafka out and capture her."

Walter nodded. In any case, they had participated in the events in Luofu. If Luofu were to face a crisis in the future, they could help them out.

“Excellent, it’s a deal. I will now order Yu Kong to share all the intelligence and allocate elite personnel to assist you in the search.”

Seeing that everyone agreed, Jing Yuan nodded and smiled.

“If you have time later, you may come to the Shence Mansion. You are skilled in divination, and the Taipusi is also proficient in this art. We would like to take this opportunity to learn from you.”

Zhou Xingxing nodded. Although Jing Yuan didn't say anything on the surface, he knew that Jing Yuan would definitely come looking for him behind his back after he said those things.

After all, what follows is not just about the star core, but about the entire game of chess above the star core.

Jing Yuan watched everyone leave, then slowly looked up at the sky with his hands behind his back.

"An unexpected variable has appeared in this game..."

Inside the Shence Palace, Jing Yuan spoke to Fu Xuan in front of him.

"Lord Taibu, you heard my conversation with them. What do you think?"

"That stargazer... I really can't tell from his appearance that he's good at divination. But when he spoke of matters concerning the safety of Luofu, I couldn't detect a trace of falsehood in him, which at least shows that he wasn't just talking nonsense."

Fu Xuan rested his chin on the back of his hand and pondered deeply.

"I don't know if this matter is true or not. I have invited that stargazer to the Shence Mansion for a gathering. At that time, I will leave it to you, Fu Qing."

“Very well, if that stargazer can really predict the future and divine good and bad fortune just by observing the stars... then he is just like that ‘slave of fate’, and I must befriend him.”

"Well, I'm not good at this, but thanks to Fu Qing's wisdom, I'll be relying on you for everything from now on."

Jing Yuan chuckled.

"Hmph, then you should abdicate earlier."

Fu Xuan snorted and crossed his arms as he spoke to Jing Yuan.

"It's not the right time yet. If anything goes wrong, I'll have to take responsibility as a general. I can't just leave now and put Fu Qing in an unjust position."

"If you had handed the Star Core Hunter over to me long ago, I wouldn't have this problem now... Jing Yuan, you wouldn't...

After a moment's thought, Fu Xuan suddenly came to a somewhat absurd conclusion.

"Me? How could I possibly be as prescient as Fu Qing? The Cloud Cavalry's poor defense is my responsibility... I have other important matters to attend to, so I'll leave everything to the 'exceptionally gifted' Fu Qing."

Jing Yuan didn't say anything more and hung up the call directly.

"General, why weren't you assigned to the task of hunting down the Star Core Hunter?"

Yanqing, standing to the side, couldn't help but ask.

"I've already entrusted this matter to the passengers on the train. Yanqing, if you wish to obtain the position of Sword Master, you must not act rashly and must be patient. Besides, the hidden hand in this game has not yet been revealed, and another variable has been added to the chessboard... Before the mystery of the Star Core is solved, this game can only remain stagnant. How can it conceal itself from the public, bypass the verification of the Heavenly Ship Bureau and the deduction of the Grand Diviner, and where will it be placed?"

Jingyuan continued talking to himself, only to find that Yanqing, who was standing to the side, had disappeared sometime earlier.

"A young man who stays at home for too long is bound to cause trouble. I'm afraid he'll suffer quite a few setbacks this time."

At the gate of Sichen Palace.

As soon as everyone stepped outside, they saw Tingyun standing at the door, sighing.

"Miss Tingyun, it's nice to see you again."

On March 7th, they waved to Tingyun from afar.

"I had hoped to have a moment of peace, but unexpectedly, Lord Yukong has entrusted me with the task of entertaining our benefactors..."

Tingyun nodded, then responded weakly.

"What? Are you unhappy?"

"I've accompanied my benefactors on their journey, and gone through many battles; even my tail fur has fallen out quite a bit. I was hoping to go back and rest and recuperate, but alas... my beautiful tail..."

Seeing Tingyun's listless appearance, Qiong reached into his pocket, took out a hazelnut chocolate, and handed it to Tingyun.

"Have something sweet; sweet things make people happier."

Tingyun was about to reach out and take it, but when she saw the packaging design and the name on it, her smile froze.

"My benefactor is so cruel... Although I am a little tired and have not been able to entertain you properly, it is not enough to want to harm me, is it?"

"How could I have plotted to murder you?"

Qiong was somewhat confused.

Have you ever heard the saying, "Dogs can't eat chocolate"?

Zhou Xingxing reminded Qiong.

"But isn't Miss Tingyun a fox?"

"Foxes are also canines."

"Oh!"

Qiong suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

So, Qiong put the chocolate into her mouth.

“My benefactor, you yourself are happy.”

Tingyun was speechless. Even though you said you couldn't eat chocolate, didn't you have any other sweets in your pocket?

"Miss Tingyun, are you hungry? I'll treat you to something to eat sometime later as a token of my gratitude."
