Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

“…But…” Huaiyan looked up at Jingyuan and smiled, “I trust you.”

"Since you joined the army, you have repeatedly performed outstanding deeds."

"After the Five Heroes of the Clouds disappeared, despite the Alliance's many criticisms of you, the Marshal still overruled the objections and entrusted Luofu to you."

“You have served the league faithfully over the years.”

"You thwarted the evil creatures of Tarasa, lifted the siege of the Jade Palace Immortal Ship, and destroyed the demonic star summoned by the bountiful people..."

"I still remember everything from the various wars."

March 7th was quite surprised:

"What? General Jingyuan is so powerful?"

Dan Heng explained:

"Emperor Bow and Heavenly General are not to be underestimated."

Huaiyan continued to look at Jingyuan, speaking earnestly:

“Some parasites doubt your loyalty and conjecture that you are incompetent and foolish. They are happy to see General Shence make a mistake because that is their nature.”

"Having accomplished nothing, he only longs to witness the failures of others as nourishment for his survival."

"But I have witnessed too many failures, and I prefer to believe that your loyalty has never changed."

Jing Yuan seemed to be deep in thought.

"..."

Being more willing to believe does not mean absolutely believing.

After Huaiyan stated his position, March 7th inquired:

"So, the only person sent by the alliance to investigate the Jianmu disaster this time is General Feixiao of Yaoqing?"

"How could that be?" Huaiyan laughed.

"Of course, there's me too."

"The Marshal has given me orders to go to the Luofu Immortal Ship."

"But the official document contained only a few words: 'Observe the military drill ceremony and listen to Fei Xiao's questions.'"

"?" Yan Huan leaned back in her chair and couldn't help but ask:

Is it really okay to just read out the tasks your boss gives you?

"You are all witnesses, so it's alright."

Huai Yan smiled and said:

"In my opinion, the Marshal is well aware of Jing Yuan's intention in holding the ceremony and also knows the situation he is facing."

"By saying this, she clearly believes that both are equally important."

Jing Yuan nodded slightly and sighed:

"We will always remember the magnanimity of Elder Yan."

Huaiyan looked at Jingyuan:

"You introduced the train witness to me on your own, wasn't it precisely to find out the purpose of my and Feixiao's visit, and whether there was any conflict between us?"

"I am sincere to everyone, so young people shouldn't hold back either."

"Regarding the strange occurrences of the Jianmu tree, all I have to do from beginning to end is listen."

"The one who should really raise the question is General Feixiao."

"What I care more about is whether the martial arts ceremony can be held safely and as scheduled."

Jing Yuan nodded slightly and smiled calmly:

"Thank you for your trust, Elder Yan."

As he spoke, he walked toward the hidden door, intending to close it and continue his conversation with the others.

Suddenly, a young girl slowly walked out from inside, just as she brushed past Jing Yuan.

"?"

Chapter 894 You two are going too?

"What's wrong?" Yun Li glanced at Jing Yuan curiously.

"I got lost inside and just found my way out."

"It's nothing, haha." Jing Yuan smiled awkwardly and closed the hidden door.

"Girl, what brings you here too?!" Huaiyan almost dropped his cup when he saw Yun Li come out from inside.

"They came with them."

Yun Li also found a seat and sat down, smiling faintly:

"I saw a strange door in the inn's corridor, so I went in."

"……All right."

Huaiyan sighed and looked at everyone.

"Speaking of which, my arrival in Luofu this time is also to bring a gift for the martial arts ceremony."

"During the martial arts ceremony, there were countless competitions and celebrations of all sizes."

"The most important of these is defending the title at the peak."

"The host will send highly skilled warriors to defend the arena and meet challenges from all sides, so as to demonstrate the martial prowess of the Immortal Ship."

Huaiyan silently fixed his gaze on Danheng.

"When I heard that the Starry Sky Train would be coming to witness the ceremony, I thought that the one defending the title this time would be Lord Luofu Dragon..."

Jing Yuan stood before the crowd and said with a faint smile:

"Mr. Yan is joking."

"The Dragon Girl with the Medicine in Her Hands is still young and knows nothing about martial arts. How can we let her defend the arena?"

"?" Huai Yan was taken aback at first, then quickly realized:

"Hehe... When it comes to joking, I'm still no match for you."

Sitting on the stool on March 7th, he couldn't help but look at the box on the table next to him.

"What is this box for? Is this the gift that General Huaiyan prepared for Luofu?"

Huai Yan nodded:

"Correct."

"This is the sword case I prepared as a prize for the martial arts ceremony."

"It is currently empty, but in a few days, a precious sword will arrive here and be stored inside."

"Hehe, not to boast, but this sword is the pinnacle of Zhu Ming Xianzhou's craftsmanship. It once wandered to a foreign land and created many heroic feats."

"The reasons behind this are indeed quite bizarre and difficult to explain in a few words."

"However, the delegation that brought the sword has not yet arrived, so I will just leave the sword box here for now."

Huai Yan's gaze was deep and unfathomable:

"I've always wondered, what kind of person is truly worthy of this sword?"

"After much thought, why not take advantage of this opportunity to defend the title and give it away as a prize?"

"The victor of Jingfeng must be an extraordinary hero, a perfect match for this precious sword..."

He looked at Yanqing and smiled:

"Also, I heard that Brother Yanqing is an excellent swordsman. He is representing Luofu in defending the ring. I think this gift is really perfect."

"Yanqing will certainly not disappoint General Huaiyan." Yanqing quickly bowed and clasped his hands.

"Huh? How come you were chosen beforehand?" Yun Li sat on the stool, arms crossed, and teased:

"Who knows, I might bring this sword back to Zhu Ming?"

"Yun Li, stop fooling around." Huai Yan broke out in a cold sweat and quickly stopped her.

"If I am the final victor of the martial arts ceremony, it would be perfectly proper for me to take that sword with me, wouldn't it?"

Yun Li raised her chin and gave a soft snort:

“My little brother Yanqing has never beaten me.”

"You silly girl, sigh." Huaiyan was very anxious.

This was originally a reward that Zhu Ming brought to Luofu. If Yun Li really takes it back, what will happen to the alliance with Luofu?

"Don't speak too confidently," Yanqing said solemnly.

"If General Tianji hadn't arrived midway through our duel at the Pill Refining Division, the outcome would have been uncertain."

"Oh? General Tianji?" Huaiyan looked at Yanqing thoughtfully.

"So she was also in the Alchemy Department back then."

Hearing their discussion, March 7th stood up in dissatisfaction.

"Wait a minute. I'm a contestant too. How come it seems like the champion is already decided between the two of them?"

"I'm super awesome too, okay?"

"Miss March, what makes you say that?" Yanqing asked with some concern.

"If you intend to use the same giant machine as last time in the arena, it would be against the rules."

"Am I that kind of person?" March 7th scoffed.

"I will use my own strength to defeat you all fairly and squarely, and become the final champion!"
