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

Unexpectedly, Chen Jie shook his head, fumbled in his pocket, and finally pulled out a small metal-like object.

No, I've only heard her mention you before.

Chapter 137 Energy Detection

"You wanted to find Tingyun using your own methods, so you found Feixiao, and in the end, Feixiao recommended me to you."

As he spoke, Chen Jie kept fiddling with the small piece of iron, only looking at Yu Kong after he finished speaking.

"I can help you, but let me be clear from the start: finding someone within a limited area is easy for me, but if that area is the entire universe, while I can manage that now..."

"But the conditions and timeframe will be very demanding. Do you still want it?"

Yu Kong listened attentively to everything Chen Jie said, but she only caught a few words.

It is possible to find, but the conditions are stringent, and the search will take a very long time.

"I need to"

Without almost any hesitation, Yu Kong hurriedly nodded.

Chen Jie nodded indifferently and threw the iron piece in his hand towards Yu Kong. Yu Kong hurriedly reached out to catch it, and finally carefully held it in his palm as if it were a precious treasure.

"This thing is one of my inventions. I haven't named it, but its function is to detect the source of this energy substance within a certain range."

"If we're looking for someone, we need to extract that person's DNA and related materials into a liquid and drip it onto that metal plate to bind it. These are very demanding conditions."

"What I'm giving you is a clean one. I'll leave the method for making this to Jingyuan after some time, but the search time, the scope, and the chances are slim. It's just a matter of time."

Yu Kong listened without missing a word, and a glimmer of hope ignited in his eyes: "Thank you. No matter what, I want to thank you. Ting Yun's blood has been preserved, but even if the scope is small, it's still something, and it's a viable path."

"Thank you"

Having just finished speaking, Chen Jie had already turned around with his hands in his pockets and walked to the hidden door. Upon hearing this, he unconsciously frowned.

"The area is smaller? No, the area it covers is actually about the size of the entire Luofu Immortal Ship."

"I've used this product and consulted people about it. My perception of it being small is different from the fixed concept of 'small'."

"It's just a small item."

Chen Jie turned halfway around, "But she can use a phone? I didn't expect that."

Yu Kong was taken aback, about to say something, but Chen Jie had already stepped into the hidden door, which closed automatically. Seeing this, Fu Xuan shrugged.

"You saw that? He's actually quite similar to Jing Yuan, except that Jing Yuan just dumps the problems on us and lets us figure out how to solve them, while he comes up with solutions and ideas."

"Take this so-called secret door he developed to guarantee the general's privacy and security, for example. The entrance and exit will change every time. On the surface, it's a small trick, but he can make it impossible to analyze or lock. That's what's so impressive about it."

Yu Kong, who was originally immersed in joy, was taken aback upon hearing this, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Why is the Grand Diviner so fixated on this secret door leading to the General's residence?"

Fu Xuan's expression stiffened, his face flushed slightly, and he said nonchalantly, "I could get in yesterday, but I can't today. I don't know what he did to make him distrust me so much?"

Actually, early this morning, shortly after Yanqing bought breakfast, when the temperature started to drop throughout the General's Mansion, she tried the usual method of opening the door to go in and check on the situation.

The result was that it didn't work; the old methods weren't working properly anymore. It must be that some kind of disturbance occurred during the tribulation.

As for whether it was Jing Yuan who did it?

Let him be lazy to death.

Seeing Fu Xuan's expression, Yu Kong assumed that he wanted to check Jing Yuan's injuries to determine how many days he would need to temporarily assume the position of general, since Fu Xuan's dream was to become the Alliance General.

Now that the opportunity has come, let's just take it one day at a time.

Yu Kong glanced at the documents on the desk and smiled.

"Then I shall take my leave now, so as not to disturb Lord Diviner in his official duties."

Watching the satisfied Yu Kong depart, Fu Xuan sat back down, though a hint of contentment lingered on her face as she worked on the documents on her desk.

In the courtyard behind the hidden door

Upon returning, Chen Jie noticed that Jing Yuan had changed his clothes again and was now happily teasing a small bird. There was also a pair of scissors on the stone table, presumably for tending to the plants.

"Watering flowers, playing with birds, and commanding troops with your eyes closed—you're living such a carefree life! Shall I film you and send it out?"

Unfazed by Chen Jie's accusations, Jing Yuan continued, "I heard what you and Yu Kong were saying just now."

"I don't know much about Tingyun, but I'm not exactly unfamiliar with her either. I'm also aware that Yu Kong has been grooming her as the successor of the Tianbo Division, and Tingyun has been working very hard to reciprocate Yu Kong's wishes."

"Yes, she even considers Tingyun family, her daughter. Tingyun's accident was a huge blow to her. Thank you for helping me solve a difficult problem."

Seeing Jing Yuan's cheerful expression, Chen Jie frowned.

"What? You want me to stay in Luofu for a while and temporarily take over as the head of the Luofu Construction Bureau?"

Jing Yuan simply smiled and remained silent, while Chen Jie turned to look at the door, where a slightly unsteady figure pushed it open and walked out.

"General, I have lost."

Jingyuan:?

Dust seemed to have heard something interesting, and raised its eyebrows slightly.

Just as Jing Yuan was wondering what was going on and where the problem lay, Yan Qing's next words put his mind at ease.

"However, Yanqing understands that I cannot win, so I am very grateful for your guidance, which has helped me understand many things."

"The battle with the senior was ostensibly a friendly exchange, but in reality, it was a form of guidance. I am also very grateful to the general for finding such a good teacher for Yanqing."

The moment they came out, they started talking about winning or losing, which startled me.

Having calmed down, Jingyuan smiled kindly and said, "It's good that you understand. I hope you can continue to maintain this."

"You just fainted from exhaustion, and you woke up so quickly, so you must be alright. Go to the army and spar with your comrades, get some more experience."

Upon hearing this, Yanqing immediately perked up and straightened her back perfectly.

"Yes!"

Huh? You fainted from exhaustion, but woke up so quickly, so you're alright? Going to the army to spar and hone your skills with the Cloud Cavalry?

Chen Jie's gaze towards Jing Yuan gradually became strange. Was this silly boy still...?

Jing Yuan's face, tsk tsk

However, to their surprise, Yanqing, who had been full of energy just a moment ago, suddenly became shy and blushed, her voice even becoming somewhat stammering.

He repeated the word "general" several times but couldn't pronounce it clearly, while Jing Yuan, who witnessed this scene, froze on the spot.

Chen Jie looked at the two of them with some curiosity, but before he could ask, Jing Yuan, who had put the birdcage down, skillfully pulled a wallet from his pocket.

"Here, take it."

The moment the money was taken out, Yanqing, who had been stammering and looking shy, became even more embarrassed.

Despite being clearly embarrassed, her movements were quick and precise as she swiftly accepted the money Jingyuan handed her.

"Thank you, General. What I was about to say was that my flying swords were all destroyed in the Scale Abyss Realm and during the recent training battle, so I need to buy new ones."

Jing Yuan started nodding before he could finish listening, saying "I understand," and then watched Yan Qing's cheerful steps as she walked away.

Dust and Tribulation rejoiced

Chapter 138 Memorial Service

"We've finally delivered everything. Now, shall we head back to Starport?"

March 7th stretched comfortably and asked...

"Yes, it's time to meet up with the Sky Master now."

Xing twirled a box in her hand: "Tingyun's keepsake is ready too, let's go."

Walter glanced at March 7th, then at the stars, and felt a deep sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing feelings, thoughts, and reflection).

Both children have grown a lot during this pioneering journey led by the fairy boat.

I remember that Dustfall was going to reforge Himeko's greatsword, right? And I also vaguely remember that Himeko wanted to get off the train and spend some time with the children.

Hopefully, when Himeko gets off the train with that greatsword and sees the children's reaction, she'll be very pleased.

"Hey? Uncle Yang, what are you thinking about? Why are you smiling like that? Did you think of something happy?"

March 7th, who was talking to Xing, felt something was off. Turning her head, she found Walter, her guide, laughing happily beside her, which piqued her curiosity.

"It's nothing, just a bit sentimental. That starship probably started construction yesterday and should be finished today. Let's go meet up with the Sky Pilot."

March 7th and Xing exchanged a glance. Having spent so much time with Gen Chenjie, their sixth sense had become much stronger. They had a feeling that what Walter had just thought of might not be something happy, but rather something they were looking forward to.

Dust Tribulation often told them that a person's eyes reveal their heart and thoughts, and clearly, Walter's eyes just now revealed his inner thoughts.

The two didn't say anything, but followed behind whispering. But what about Walter's hearing? He heard so much that cold sweat began to appear on his forehead.

"How come these two kids are so quick to react now? They're even trying to look people in the eye!"

Soon, the group arrived at the Starport and saw Yu Kong standing in front of an empty starship, lost in thought.

"Oh? You've arrived."

"The star raft prepared for the ceremony is ready. Everyone, please place the memorial items for Tingyun on the star raft."

"Wait, wait for me!"

The sound of a middle-aged man panting suddenly came from behind them. March 7th couldn't help but turn around and saw a familiar figure running quickly towards them in the distance.

"Huh? That voice sounds familiar... Oh, it really is Iwaaki!"

March 7th suddenly realized: "It seems that Yanming and Tingyun are not only rivals, but also friends who respect each other. Look, Xing!"

Xing scratched his head somewhat discouraged: "It was my fault for not thinking things through. I saw Yanming say that he and Tingyun are rivals, and I thought the probability of that was low."

Walter: ? ? ?

What are these two kids talking about? Is this a bet? Have these two kids grown up to this point?

Yanming, who had run up to him, was bent over and panting heavily, but Yu Kong seemed unsurprised by his arrival.
