Damn it, something's wrong with the gacha I got.

......

Meanwhile, in the courtyard

Qiong recounted the main events of her experience in Luofu in her original world to March 7 and Walter Yang.

The two men's expressions immediately changed.

"You're saying that Miss Tingyun is the Great Monarch of Annihilation?"

On March 7th, her little mouth opened slightly.

"Well, anyway, that bad thing wants to obtain the power of the Fengrao Jianmu tree, so it might infiltrate Danheng's hometown."

Qiong nodded.

Walter, standing to the side, thought for a moment, then said with a somewhat serious expression:

"The Annihilation Lord Huanlong? I have heard rumors about her. Unlike other Annihilation Lords, Huanlong is obsessed with the destruction of both the spirit and the material world. The collapse of the mind leads to the demise of the body. Many beings have been lured by her into an abyss of no return. This is a bit troublesome."

Upon hearing this, Chen Bai chimed in, "However, according to Qiong, this Extinction Lord seems to be a species unique to the Immortal Ship, the Year Sun. The Immortal Ship should have some special attack methods, right?"

Walter: "Yes, you're right. I'll consult General Jingyuan later."

After all, knowing the true nature of the illusion gives one certain means, but the opponent is an Extinction Lord, and even he is not absolutely certain of success.

"By the way, Uncle Yang, should we tell General Jingyuan that Huanlong is Tingyun? Otherwise, it's a bit creepy to have Jue Mie Dajun by our side."

On March 7th, he rubbed his arms together.

Walter shook his head: "Of course we should tell that Shence General, but it would be best to choose a suitable time."

After all, the fake Tingyun is still around. If we disturb him, Huanlong might suddenly attack.

At that time, the power of an Extinction Lord will be beyond what their train crew can withstand.

The power of the messenger can only be countered by the messenger.

At this moment, Chen Bai spoke up to offer a word of comfort:

"What are you afraid of, Uncle Yang? Have you forgotten my wonder? I still have a Meow Meow Stick. If Huanlong really gets angry, I'll just turn her into a cat and lock her in my Bird Lie Y so she and the Star Core can be used as power sources."

If Huanlong really dares to cause trouble, then the Nameless Guests are not made of clay.

"Oh right, I remember Ah Bai has a few rare items, maybe they can suppress that Extinction Lord."

On March 7th, his eyes lit up.

Xing: "I'll let her taste the power of my Flame Spear then!"

Qiong: "My baseball bat might as well be worth a try."

The two little gray creatures exchanged a glance, their understanding unwavering.

"Just be thankful if you two don't cause any trouble," March 7th retorted.

Xing pouted: "Shouldn't we be saying that, March?"

Qiong nodded in agreement: "That's right, that's right. If we get nervous and give ourselves away in March, we'll be in big trouble!"

Faced with the two raccoons teasing her one after the other, March 7th immediately retorted angrily, "My acting skills are definitely not that bad! And I have to tell you two, when we leave later, you two are not allowed to rummage through the trash cans! Do you hear me?"

"Huh? What's the point of life without a trash can?"

"Yes, March is even worse than that Extinction Lord!"

March 7th: (＃￣～￣＃)

You two really think I can't handle you, huh?

Chapter 56 Fake Tingyun: ?

After discussing it for a while, the group decided to hold off for now and split up to carry out their plans.

Chen Bai, San Yueqi, Xing, and Qiong accompanied Jia Tingyun, pretending to be normal.

Meanwhile, Walter went to the Shence Mansion to tell Jing Yuan about "Huanlong impersonating Tingyun and infiltrating the Immortal Ship Luofu," and waited for the next steps.

Good morning, my benefactors.

Just as Chen Bai and his three companions stepped out of the gate, the fake Tingyun appeared.

Hello...

March 7th replied somewhat hesitantly.

Fake Tingyun was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong with Miss March 7th?"

The little pink-haired girl seemed much more nervous than yesterday, perhaps because of her.

Upon seeing this, Chen Bai quickly stepped forward and said, "She caught a cold yesterday when she turned on the air conditioner and kicked off the blankets, which is why she's stuttering."

Xing: "That's right, that's right, March doesn't sleep very well."

Qiong: "Poor March, what a miserable life, she's become a stutterer~"

March 7th: "......"

Jia Tingyun's expression was strange. Although he had no idea what these three abstract, nameless guests were up to, he still maintained a polite smile.

"I see. Miss March 7th, please take care of yourself. I need to take you to inquire of Lady Dragon Maiden about Manjun."

Upon hearing this, March 7 shook her head repeatedly: "No, no need, thank you Miss Tingyun."

Jia Tingyun nodded slightly, then turned her gaze to Qiong Bao beside her: "But where is Mr. Walter? And who is this?"

Chen Bai immediately explained, "Uncle Yang said he was interested in the ingenious creations of the Immortal Ship, so he asked us to set off ahead of time. He will meet us later. As for his name, Qiong, he is also an unknown guest who just got off the train."

“I see.” Jia Tingyun nodded slightly and continued, “The Star Core Hunter is very cunning. The communication timing was just right, making it impossible to find the precise location, but it still left a trace for Taibusi.”

As he spoke, the fake Tingyun projected Kafka onto the screen using the projection equipment and said the following:

"The coordinates are here; it's up to you to decide. Although the goals we pursue are completely different, the orbital religions of the stars intersect. Goodbye."

Projection complete.

"So, did you figure anything out, Ah Bai?" March 7th muttered quietly from the side.

“I didn’t see any clues either. Isn’t this what Mommy said at the train meeting?” Xing nodded.

Chen Bai: "..."

How would I know if you ask me?

"Ahem, Miss Tingyun, is there any clue here?"

He coughed lightly, which essentially meant that I didn't understand.

Jia Tingyun smiled and said, "I'm sure you all heard it just now. There seemed to be some kind of device making a 'whoosh' sound behind the Star Core Hunter. The general summoned the craftsmen of Luofu, and after comparison and analysis, they found that the background sound of Kafka came from the shipbuilding facilities of the Returning Star Port."

Chen Bai: "So you mean we're going to Hong Kong Port?"

Jia Tingyun nodded: "That's right. If you benefactors are all ready, would you be willing to come with me to the Starport and then track down the Star Core Hunter Kafka?"

"no."

Fake Clouds:?

Seeing the puzzled look on Jia Tingyun's face, Chen Bai replied, "I feel this is a trap. The Star Core Hunters were able to infiltrate the Jade Realm Gate without anyone noticing, and you were able to capture their images so easily. I feel this is a way to lure us back."

"Yes, the Star Core Hunters are indeed a suspect, but if we don't go to the Starport, what will our benefactor do?"

"I think everyone should eat, drink, and have fun now."

"Hmm? Why do you say that, my benefactor?"

Several black question marks appeared above the fake cloud.

Why are they not hunting Star Core Hunters, but instead eating, drinking, and strolling around?

“Actually, Miss Tingyun, I think we don’t necessarily have to go and catch the Star Core Hunter ourselves. Is it possible that even if we sit here and do nothing, Kafka will still come to us?”

Upon hearing this, Jia Tingyun became even more puzzled.

Delivered to your door?

How is this possible? Do they really think the Star Core Hunters are idiots?

"But my benefactor, if you act in this way, the general may have some complaints."

Jia Tingyun wanted to struggle a little longer, after all, she still had a place to hide in Luofu. If the plan changed and her cover in Luofu was broken, she would be in serious trouble.

“Miss Tingyun, the Luofu Foundation is powerful. Is it really worth making a big fuss over a mere Star Core Hunter? Besides, the Luofu Star Core Disaster is currently erupting, so it's not wise to act rashly. In my opinion, even if we don't actively pursue her, Kafka will show herself on her own. Why bother with unnecessary actions? Yuanfang, what do you think?”

Chen Bai mimed fanning himself with a fan, then turned his gaze toward Qiong beside him.

The latter understood and his expression turned slightly serious: "Prime Minister Bai is right. The most urgent thing is for us to conserve our energy and find out the route to Luofu, so that our next actions can be more convenient."

Xing joined their conversation: "Absolutely, absolutely, I haven't even rummaged through Luofu's trash cans yet."

Chen Bai turned to March 7 and said in a calm tone, "Does Your Excellency March have a different opinion?"

March 7th was momentarily stunned, but now it's probably more appropriate to stand on the side of your partner.

"Ah? Yes, yes, yes!"

"Hmm." Chen Bai felt quite gratified and satisfied, and then continued speaking to the fake Tingyun: "Miss Tingyun, as you have seen, my colleagues and I are of one mind. What do you say?"

Before Sora's spoilers, they might have gone to find Kafka on their own initiative. But now that they know what Sora experienced in another parallel world, they can't follow the original script anymore, so they have to make some changes.

Otherwise, there's always a sense of disgust from being led by the nose.

"Alright, we'll do as our benefactors suggest. However, I need to report back to Lord Yu Kong and the General."

Well, for the sake of the plan, she'll just let these nameless guests do whatever they want for now.

So, Jia Tingyun began to act as a tour guide for the four unnamed guests.

On the other side

Walter Yang arrived at the Shence Prefecture and, after reporting to the Cloud Cavalry, was led by them to meet the living Jing Yuan.

A young boy stood beside Jingyuan.

Her milky white hair was tied into a swaying ponytail, her eyebrows and eyes were clear and sharp, she wore a plain white robe with floating cloud patterns, a long sword hung from a gold kylin buckle at her waist, and the hem of her robe concealed the mechanical scale patterns unique to Luofu.

"Good morning, Mr. Walter. May I ask what brings you here to see me?"

When Jingyuan saw Walter arrive, he looked up and asked with a smile.

"I have met General Jingyuan before. May I ask who this gentleman is?"

Walter asked curiously, his gaze lingering on the young man.

Chapter 57 Yanqing: General, I think...

Jing Yuan stood before the desk in casual clothes, his silver hair cascading down his back, a familiar, relaxed smile playing on his lips.

He stepped aside to make way for the young man behind him, his voice carrying a perfectly appropriate tone of introduction: "This is Yanqing, my disciple, and also the current Vanguard of the Luofu Cloud Cavalry."

He gently raised his hand, gesturing for the boy to step forward. "Yanqing, this is Mr. Walter from the Starry Sky Train."

Upon hearing this, Yanqing stepped forward, clasped his hands in a respectful greeting, his posture neat and his spirited: "I am Yanqing, greetings to Mr. Walter."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Yanqing Xiaowei." Walter Yang nodded slightly, his fingertips gently pushing the glasses, his gaze behind the lenses calm and profound.

He turned to Jing Yuan, his tone becoming serious: "General Jing Yuan, I have indeed come here to discuss important matters with you, but this..."

He paused slightly, his gaze sweeping over the clerks standing on either side and the boy beside him, his unspoken meaning clearly evident.

Jing Yuan understood his meaning and said, "You may all leave for now. Yan Qing, you also go on patrol and maintain order in Luofu."

"Yes, General!" she replied in a low voice, bowed, and withdrew.

Yanqing accepted the order and turned around, but after taking only a few steps, he turned back. His usually bright and spirited eyes blinked, and as he approached Jingyuan, his deliberately lowered voice was full of expectation: "General, what about that 'Flying Frost' sword that I've been eyeing..."

Jing Yuan rubbed his forehead and pressed his knuckles against his temples, looking helpless with a sense of knowing this was coming: "We'll discuss this matter later. Right now, things are complicated in Luofu. We can talk about it after the storm has passed."

Upon hearing this, Yanqing's unruly tuft of hair seemed to droop a little. He pursed his lips, then respectfully clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Yes, Yanqing will go patrol the city now."

After saying this, he turned and left. His armor clattered softly, and his steps remained as upright as those of a Cloud Rider, yet a hint of sullenness crept into his expression.
