Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

“You do have an urgent matter to handle. I will report this to the Public Security Bureau of the Earth Balance Division and ask them to cooperate in handling the aftermath.”

"Understood." The Cloud Cavalry captain nodded quickly.

Yanqing breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the Cloud Cavalry disband and go about their respective duties.

I hope it was all just an accident.

"Yanqing, you're really starting to look like a grown-up," March 7th remarked.

"They've even learned to reprimand those in lower positions; this must be what's known as official arrogance."

Yan Qing: “?”

Chapter 877 One-on-One Showdown

"Miss March, please stop teasing me." Yanqing felt extremely embarrassed.

"The safety of the Immortal Ship before the Martial Arts Ceremony is like a taut string, seemingly calm. But as long as it is slightly tugged, there will be lingering turmoil."

Recalling the chaos just now, Yanqing said solemnly:

"For a long time, the Buli people have been numerous and powerful, brutally plundering and enslaving many worlds. Their harm is no less than the insect plague that plagued the universe."

"Thirty years ago, the league fought a major battle against them."

"Over the years, their activities have gradually become less rampant than before. But I never expected... sigh."

Yan Huan helped Yan Qing analyze:

"They suddenly appeared during this period, carrying out attacks and robberies. They must be planning something big."

"It should be." Yanqing looked at the people in front of her:

"I'm sorry, the general wants me to take three nameless guests to the Sichen Palace. We can't delay any longer."

"Although there are still some things I'm worried about."

"What is it?" March 7th asked, puzzled.

"Are you worried that Yunqi won't handle this well?"

"No, no." Yanqing quickly waved her hand:

"I still trust them."

"What I'm concerned about is... that girl who just appeared took my sword."

"I want to report a lost item to the Bureau of Land Balance and see if I can get it back."

"You said it was 'robbed,' how can you expect to get it back just by reporting it as lost?" March 7th was speechless.

"You might as well put up an arrest warrant and let the Yunqi (a type of military cavalry) arrest her."

"Oh...this is a bit much, isn't it?" Yanqing said apologetically.

"It makes it sound like I'm the kind of person who would abuse my power at the slightest provocation."

"I'm just a guard, at most a bodyguard."

"Maybe that girl didn't do it on purpose."

"How could this be?" Yan Huan recalled:

“She said you were bad and didn’t deserve to use that sword, we all heard it.”

"Why don't you call the police?"

"Never mind, we'll talk about it later." Yanqing looked up.

"Let's hurry to Sichen Palace."

After greeting Su Chang, Yan Qing took Dan Heng away as well.

This time, nothing unexpected happened, and the group arrived at Sichen Palace without incident.

Inside Sichen Palace.

Jing Yuan was at the very top, talking to an old man who wore a straw hat, was short, and had a beard as long as a broom.

"Elder Yan, you must be tired from your journey," Jing Yuan said with a smile.

The old man returned the smile:

"Oh, it's no trouble at all, but it's kind of you to greet me."

Yanqing led the three forward:

"General, I have brought the passengers from the train."

He glanced at the old man, hesitated, and said:

"Did I come at the wrong time?"

"No, you've come at just the right time." Jing Yuan looked at the three people on the train and smiled.

"Hello everyone on the Star Train, it's been a long time."

"Pinocone's dream was indeed incredibly realistic. Last time, thanks to the train's invitation, Jingyuan also experienced a thoroughly enjoyable battle."

"Really?" March 7th asked doubtfully.

"But I heard from Huang Quan that you're a real swindler."

"She thought you were singing in the back, just like the robin."

"..."

"I'll take it as a compliment."

Jing Yuan stretched out his hand and looked at the old man beside him:

"Let me introduce you all. This is Huaiyan, the Heavenly General of the Immortal Ship [Zhu Ming], also known as Zhu Yuan."

Huai Yan smiled and said:

"There's no need for such formality. I'm traveling in plain clothes and with no different entourage from the tourists who have come to observe the ceremony."

Jing Yuan spoke again:

"Old Yan is not only a general of the Imperial Bow, but also the head of the Hundred Metals Department of the Craftsmanship Bureau."

Huaiyan waved his hand:

"Whether it's a general or a master craftsman, they are all just titles bestowed upon one in response to the times."

"I have already stepped down from my post several times, but now the situation has changed and the marshal has summoned me again, so I have no choice but to take up my post."

"In the final analysis, it's all my fault. I've lived too long, so it's inevitable that I'll be criticized."

Yanqing quickly cupped his hands in greeting:

"Meet General Huai Yan."

"No need to be polite, hahaha." Huaiyan laughed as he looked at the train crew behind Yanqing:

"Today, I am just like them, merely a guest of Luofu."

"Jingyuan, are these three the saviors you mentioned before, the ones who helped you quell the Jianmu disaster?"

"Exactly," Jing Yuan said with a smile.

"On the far right is Dan Heng, in the middle is Miss March 7, and on the left is Mr. Yan Huan."

"Without the efforts of these friends who turned the tide, Luofu would not have been able to easily overcome this calamity."

Huaiyan nodded slightly and looked at it from right to left.

Their gazes first fell on Dan Heng.

"Mr. Yinyue's descendants have returned to Luofu to watch the martial arts ceremony. If there is a chance, I would like to have a drink with you."

Dan Heng said calmly, "I'm available anytime."

Huaiyan then looked at March 7th:

"What a beautiful young lady, thank you for your contributions to Luofu."

"Not at all," March 7th said with an embarrassed smile.

Huai Yan looked at Yan Huan:

"Mr. Yan Huan, thank you for your help in turning the tide. I would like to express my apologies for General Jing Yuan's absurd actions at that time."

"It's alright, one more won't make a difference," Yan Huan smiled.

"I am extremely grateful." Huaiyan nodded slightly, then looked at Yanqing.

"And who is this little friend...?"

Yanqing looked helplessly at Jingyuan.

Jingyuan explained with a smile:

“This is my disciple, Yanqing.”

"Because he is still young, I have kept him by my side as a guard, hoping to give him more experience."

"In this martial arts ceremony, he will represent Luofu Cloud Cavalry to defend the arena and accept challenges from all sides."

The little girl standing in the distance couldn't help but look at Yanqing.

"Good, good, good!" Huaiyan said three times in a row, and laughed:

"It is truly worthwhile for this old man to meet so many talented young people today."

"Oh, by the way, it's easy to forget things as you get older..."
