Star Iron: I, who forged my own armor by hand, ascended to the cycle of reincarnation.

Before Yan Qing could even make a move, Chen Jie, with a look of disgust on his face, coldly said...

"The adults are going to date and contact their partners. What, you little brat who hasn't even grown a beard yet wants to come along? You call them 'guests' all you want, but is this how the Cloud Cavalry invades other people's private lives?"

In that instant, Yan Qing was stunned by this series of counterattacks, her mouth agape, speechless, staring blankly at Chen Jie.

"You're getting too big for your britches after I just praised you? Why aren't you moving aside? Then I'll definitely file a lawsuit against General Shence!"

With a crack, Yanqing thought he heard something break. Seeing Chenjie turn to leave, he assumed Chenjie was going to complain and hurriedly grabbed him.

"Wait a moment, sir! I was rude just now, and I apologize to you. Please forgive me."

"But Yanqing has a request for you, sir. When you are capturing the Star Core Hunter, could you please take Yanqing with you?"

"Taking you along to catch Star Core Hunters?" Chen Jie was somewhat surprised, looking Yan Qing up and down. "Is this kid really going after Ren?"

"It's not impossible. We'll be setting off tomorrow to track down the Star Core Hunters. I can contact you then."

Seeing that Chen Jie had agreed, Yan Qing's eyes immediately lit up, and she promptly took out her phone.

"Please leave your contact information so that Yanqing can reach you tomorrow."

The speed at which this form of address changed was astonishing, truly reflecting a childlike nature—one moment serious, the next revealing a childlike innocence.

He needs to guard against arrogance and impetuosity. Hopefully, that guy Ren can bring this child a different kind of insight. Otherwise, with this kind of temperament, how can he be the head of the Luofu Sword?

Not to mention the gap in strength

"There's nothing wrong with that."

After exchanging contact information, seeing Yanqing's overjoyed expression and expectant eyes, Chen Jie immediately understood that this child was eager to prove herself to Jing Yuan.

"This time, you probably won't stop me, right? I'm leaving now."

"Please take care, sir. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me anytime, and I will be happy to assist you."

The departing dust calamity merely nodded faintly, glancing at the screen every now and then before continuing on its way.

The smile on Yanqing's face behind him gradually disappeared, and his brows slowly furrowed.

"This man's behavior is suspicious. We should return to the manor immediately to report to the general. Anyway, we have his contact information, so he can't escape."

Dust Calamity, preoccupied with finding someone, was completely oblivious to the fact that the child was harboring other intentions.

Otherwise, I'd have to turn around and give him a good whack on the head, and teach him what it means to respect one's elders.

As dusk began to fall, the artificial sun started to set, and the temperature and sunlight started to decrease.

The firefly, holding a pile of food in her arms, had a slightly confused look in her eyes.

"Hmm, shouldn't we find a place to rest for the night? There's still so much food; we need to finish it quickly and decide which dishes are the best."

"Which inn should we stay at for the night?"

Just as Liu Ying was lost in thought, a voice she had been longing for suddenly rang out from behind her.

"You bought so much, can you finish it all?"

Liu Ying, still lost in thought, stopped abruptly, the snacks in her hands falling to the ground with a clatter. Her eyes visibly reddened, and a few small tears welled up at the corners of her eyes.

Liu Ying turned around, her body trembling. The person she had thought about day and night was standing behind her, smiling at her. She had only ever seen this scene in her dreams.

Even though she knew it wasn't a dream, she still couldn't help pinching her cheek.

The sound of a pile of things hitting the ground also attracted the attention of those around.

Upon realizing what was happening, passersby stopped and stared, their expressions shifting from confusion to bewilderment, and a strange smile began to appear on their faces.

"Ah Jie!"

With a startled cry, the girl rushed into Chen Jie's arms like a fledgling returning to its nest, even causing him to stumble back a few steps, which surprised him somewhat.

Is she that strong?

At the same moment, the strange smiles around them became even more rampant, with some even holding "Happy Tea" in one hand and snacks in the other. The food stalls, which hadn't been crowded before, were now packed with people.

They didn't speak, even the sounds of drinking tea and eating became very quiet, but the smiles on their faces grew increasingly glaring.

It was as if they were watching a scene that was widely accepted, and they looked on with great interest and pleasure.

"Ugh, you're so mean! Why didn't you come to find me?!"

Chen Jie, who had been smiling, scratched his face somewhat awkwardly.

He needs to learn martial arts and combat to improve his fighting experience; in addition, he needs more knowledge.

Moreover, even if he really went to find Liuying in every lifetime, wouldn't she have to experience the pain of separation many times?

It's better to wait for an opportunity, an opportunity where we can never be apart again. That way, I can achieve all-round improvement, and the child won't have to constantly experience the pain of separation.

This is the optimal solution in Chen Jie's mind.

"I have a lot to do, both now and in the future. My workload will only increase, much like a husband who is too busy with work to take care of his wife."

"So I chose to come to you in the area where my workload was probably the least. See, didn't I come to find you?"

"From the moment I stepped onto the celestial vessel today, I knew you had arrived."

As he spoke, Chen Jie reached into his pocket, removed the metal plate from under the tablet, and held it out to Liu Ying.

When the fluorescent green iron piece was handed to Liuying, shimmering with light, and as she recalled Chenjie's words, all of Liuying's grievances vanished in that instant.

Tears streamed down her cheeks like pearls from a broken string.

"Oh~ Give me a kiss, give me a kiss~"

The snickers of the surrounding immortal ship passengers reached their peak at this moment, and, not content with the status quo, they began to jeer.

This caused Chen Jie's expression to freeze for a moment. His mind was entirely focused on Liu Ying, and he had forgotten the traditions and essence of the people of the Immortal Ship.

They absolutely love gossip! Especially when it comes to love stories, they love witnessing these kinds of events.

However, this suggestion is indeed very timely and not bad.

Just as Chen Jie made up his mind and lowered his head, Liu Ying grasped the hand holding the iron sheet, and, one step ahead of him, stood on tiptoe and kissed him.

As the two locked eyes and lips met, the surrounding crowd erupted in a frenzy of applause and cheers.

At this moment, their emotions were witnessed by everyone in the entire Xianzhou community. They will never give up and will move forward together to face all difficulties and obstacles.

Hand in hand, we grow old together.

Chapter 83 Jingyuan: You've arrived

Shence General's Mansion

Yanqing, riding at breakneck speed, finally arrived back at the General's Mansion before nightfall. He saw the General still standing there, lost in thought, before the virtual chessboard, the official documents and the time since his departure almost entirely behind him.

Yanqing was relieved; the general was still the same general.

"You're back? Did you find that escaped Star Core Hunter while you were out?"

Yanqing, who hadn't taken two steps, stopped abruptly, his expression darkening. The General really knew.

"Yanqing didn't find him this time, but he noticed that the guest named Alphs Dust Calamity was behaving very strangely, so he returned immediately."

Jing Yuan, who was looking at the chessboard, was taken aback by these words. Was his behavior strange? Could it be that I guessed wrong?

He raised an eyebrow and said, "Your behavior is quite strange? Tell me, how is it strange?"

However, Jingyuan didn't get a reply; instead, he saw Yanqing's face turn red, and he immediately became interested.

"Yanqing, what's wrong? Why is your face red? What did he say to you?"

Taking a deep breath, Yanqing suppressed his thoughts and said, "I noticed he was carrying a tablet and looking around strangely as he walked. I immediately stepped forward and pretended to be his guide to get information out of him."

"He said he was chatting with his lover and accused me, a mere Yunqi soldier who hadn't even grown a beard yet, of invading his private life, and that he was going to file a lawsuit against me, General."

Yanqing finished speaking, her face flushed, but when she looked up, she saw Jingyuan standing motionless in a daze, and she was immediately startled.

"General? General? General!"

"Huh? Ah? You mean, Alphos Dustfall's reason for chatting with his lover, and his subsequent search for his lover, led you to mistakenly perceive his behavior as strange?"

Upon hearing Jing Yuan's words, Yan Qing immediately objected: "General, our Luofu situation is special right now. Isn't it normal for your subordinate to step forward and inquire?"

Jing Yuan snapped out of his daze and couldn't help but laugh.

"Hmm, chuckle, hahaha, poor Yanqing. Luofu is currently in turmoil, so your actions are certainly not wrong, but rather meritorious and deserving of reward. How can you say you're wrong?"

Yanqing frowned, looking at Jingyuan with a puzzled expression. If I did nothing wrong, why is the general smiling so happily?

"General, if that's the case, why are you so happy? Could you tell me so I can share in your joy?"

Jing Yuan's expression stiffened slightly. Looking at Yan Qing's increasingly dark face, he shook his head and smiled wryly: "Yan Qing, I just found the other party's answer to you amusing."

"Furthermore, Yanqing, since your ambition is to become the leader of the Luofu Sword Sect, why were you frightened by a mere lawsuit from Chen Jie? Do you, Yanqing, also feel that you have done something wrong?"

"Do you lack confidence in your own choices?"

Yan Qing was stunned. After thinking about it carefully, he realized he hadn't done anything wrong. At that time, his behavior was perfectly acceptable, even if he wanted to check the other person's tablet.

How could I be so frightened by a lawsuit? Strange, strange.

Seeing Yanqing standing there, completely baffled, Jingyuan's lips curled into an even wider smile.

"It seems that's correct. In that case, it's understandable that you were frightened."

"Yanqing, I have a very important task for you, which requires the assistance of my most trusted person. Do you have the time? If the task is successfully completed, I will arrange for a highly skilled swordsman to instruct you in swordsmanship. What do you say?"

"Please ask someone with exceptional swordsmanship to instruct me in swordsmanship?" Yan Qing muttered to himself, then looked directly at Jing Yuan with a questioning expression.

"How does it compare to the swords of our Luofu clan in the past?"

"The former swords of Luofu," Jing Yuan recalled, not answering, but speaking to himself.

"What does Yanqing think of the Heavenly Strike General of the Yaoqing Immortal Ship?"

In a flash, Yanqing took two steps in one, and ran to Jingyuan, staring at him intently with shining eyes.

Seeing this, Jing Yuan awkwardly laughed and turned his head away: "Don't get so close, just tell me what's on your mind."

Yanqing chuckled a little shyly.

"General, are you asking that ever-victorious general, who is proficient in all eighteen martial arts, to instruct Yanqing in swordsmanship? But you are Yanqing's master, and that Heavenly Strike General has never taken on any disciples. Isn't that inappropriate?"

Jing Yuan raised an eyebrow. "So you know something, huh? Very well, I haven't even mentioned asking General Tianji to teach you, and you've already gotten all high and mighty. It seems you still need to guard against arrogance and impetuosity."
