Ironclad, died and resurrected, I've decided to go to the mic!

In a secluded corner of Louvre, Kafka leaned against a stone wall.

After confirming that there were no pursuing Cloud Cavalry troops nearby, he turned to Ren and asked with concern:

"Ren, are you alright? You almost lost control again at the Temple just now."

Blade shook his head: "No problem."

You're lying.

Kafka shook her head and said with a smile:

"It seems you're very concerned about those two people's identities, otherwise you wouldn't have lost control so easily."

Blade remained silent for a long while before finally nodding.

"In that case, let Silver Wolf help you investigate."

After all, she's the person here who's best at investigating this kind of thing.

"There was a civil advisor in the Imperial Divination Bureau named Yuan Jing, and a seven or eight-year-old white-haired little girl."

Even if the Tabushi's files are heavily encrypted, with Silver Wolf's abilities, it's only a matter of time before he succeeds.

Blade didn't say much, but silently took out his phone, typed a few lines on the screen, and sent them to Silver Wolf.

Shortly after the message was sent, Silver Wolf's reply popped up:

I've really learned something new since Blade asked me for help.

Are two more people to be investigated?

When did they start taking on these missing person notice jobs? Did Star Core Hunter switch careers and open a detective agency?

Don't worry, I'll check on that Yuan Jing. The personnel files of the Taibu Si aren't too complicated to encrypt. Give me some time.

The little girl with white hair doesn't have a full name, so it's a bit troublesome to look her up.

However, with the genius hacker Silver Wolf personally taking charge, it's a piece of cake.

I'll let you know when there's news.

By the way, Blade, is that guy who tricked me in Belleburg last time also on your side?

Remember to kick him for me.

……

Blade looked at Silver Wolf's reply on his phone screen, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

Then I typed a few words and sent them.

"Next time I see him, I'll slash him with my sword."

Kafka glanced at the last line of messages on the screen, chuckled, and said nothing more.

He simply patted Ren on the shoulder and turned to walk deeper into the alley.

At the same time, on the high platform of Taibusi, Qiye suddenly sneezed.

Xing and Sanyueqi, who were discussing the restoration of Jianmu nearby, both turned to look.

Jingliu immediately broke free from Jingyuan's embrace and ran over, her childish voice filled with undisguised worry:

"Disciple, are you sick? Were you injured by that person's sword energy just now? Do you want me to take a look at you?"

Let me check you for any internal injuries.

"It's nothing, it's just that my nose is a little itchy."

I suspect someone is talking about me; it might be one of the customers I sold light cones to who's thinking about me.

"Don't worry, Master, I'm tough and won't die."

Qiye bent down and patted Jingliu's head.

On March 7th, he put his hands on his hips and complained:

"Maybe someone is commemorating you. Given your connections, many people probably think you're still dead."

Who knows who might be offering incense for you?

Xing nodded earnestly beside him:

"Possibly, after all, we already held a funeral for you!"

Qi Ye's lips twitched as she read their merciless analysis:

"Can't you say something auspicious?"

I'm alive and well, what need is there for memorial services or funerals? I'm just incredibly lucky.

Fu Xuan stood aside, listening to the three of them bickering about nothing of substance.

Helplessly, he turned around, his gaze passing over the high platform of the Taibu Temple, and looking towards the Jianmu tree in the distance that was recovering.

Golden branches grew wildly in the night sky, their mysterious roots penetrating deep into the ground, the tremors affecting the entire Luofu region.

Her expression regained the composure befitting a diviner:

"Alright, the most important thing right now is not the Star Core Hunter, but the Pill Cauldron Division."

The Jianmu tree has been revived, and its mysterious roots have penetrated deep into the Dan Ding Si underground, where the level of unrest far exceeds that of other grotto-heavens.

I must immediately lead troops to Dan Ding Si to prevent the situation from deteriorating further.

"Counselor Yuanjing, you will remain to oversee the central command and coordinate the deployment of all parties."

"Little Fu Xuan, do you want me to go with you?"

Qi Ye stepped forward.

"no."

Fu Xuan refused almost reflexively.

"The current situation of Dan Ding Si is unclear, and the tremors caused by the revival of Jian Mu are still ongoing."

You're not a member of the Immortal Ship, you have no obligation to take this risk. And you..."

She thought for a moment and swallowed back the sentence, "You were almost cleaved in two by Ren Yi's sword."

He simply turned his head away and lowered his voice.

"You stay here. I'll be back as soon as I've finished dealing with things over there. It won't be long."

"I don't."

Qi Ye crossed her arms, but became stubborn after being rejected by Fu Xuan.

"You were just scolding me for rushing, and now you want to lead your troops for a frontal assault?"

You told me to hide in a safe place, but you rushed into the most dangerous place yourself. That's not fair.

You just said that you finally found me, but what if I disappear again in a minute?

And what about you? What if something happens to you?

Jing Yuan, standing nearby, saw the two pulling at each other and stepped forward to speak:

"Lord Fu Xuan, I understand your concerns."

However, the main force of the Yunqi Army is currently needed to guard key points in Luofu.

Officials of all ranks have their own duties, and manpower is indeed stretched thin.

The members of the Star Train are quite powerful. If we could persuade them to sneak into the heart of the Pill Refining Division through the small path of the Construction Division, we could...

"With our combined efforts from within and without, the riots will be quelled much faster."

Valte nodded, adjusted his glasses, and spoke calmly:

"Miss Yuanjing is right. Luofu is in trouble; how can our Starry Sky Train stand idly by!"

Fu Xuan remained silent for a long while.

Finally, he closed his eyes, sighed, and relented:

"As you say."

Those on the Starry Sky Train will take the Works and Construction Bureau's side road, while I will lead the Cloud Cavalry on the main road.

Thank you for your hard work, everyone on the Starry Sky Train.

Mr. Yang, please take good care of yourself.

Fu Xuan turned his gaze to Qi Ye and spoke without room for discussion:

"As for you, follow me on the main path."

"Don't run around, don't rush to the front, and don't do anything that might distract me."

Before Qi Ye could answer, Jing Liu peeked out from beside his legs and looked up at Fu Xuan:

"I want to go with my disciple! I want to protect him!"

Fu Xuan looked down at the little girl who was not even as tall as him, and at her earnest eyes.

Finally, he turned to Qiye and gave him a look.

Qi Ye crouched down, looking directly at Jing Liu, and gently advised:

"Master, Fu Xuan is right. It's very dangerous over there. It's safer for you to stay with Yuan Jing."

I promise I will definitely come back to find you.

Hearing this, Jing Yuan, who had been silent all along, stepped forward, knelt down, and spoke gently:

"Little Liu Liu, I know you're very powerful. I saw that sword strike with my own eyes just now."

But your disciple is protected by the Grand Diviner, so he will be fine.

You come with me, and we'll coordinate things from the rear, okay?

"War is no small matter. It's very dangerous over at Jianmu. You stay here with me."

Jingliu looked up at her, his childish voice carrying an undisguised stubbornness:

Don't treat me like a child! You just said I was very capable!

I'm going to follow my disciple! You're a bad guy, just as bad as your father!

Jingyuan sighed, reached out and ruffled Jingliu's hair, and said helplessly:

"Alright, I can't refuse you. Since you're so capable, then you can follow your disciple."

However, Mr. Suya, please be sure to protect her.

Don't let her be at the forefront. That sword strike was amazing, but she's still just a child; she won't last long.

Qiye nodded, and with both hands on Jingliu's small shoulders, said earnestly:

"Master, don't worry, I've survived so many dangerous situations."

I will definitely be able to protect you this time too.

You have to promise me you won't rush ahead, but stay behind me. I'll take care of anything that happens.

Your apprentice has no other skills, but he's incredibly lucky.

Jingliu looked up at him, hooked her little finger around his, and said...

"Pinky promise, you can't go back on your word this time."

Qi Ye solemnly hooked her hand and shook it.

Fu Xuan stood to the side watching the master and apprentice make a pinky promise, without urging them, just waiting quietly.

On the other side, Xing had her hands behind her back.

Watching the back of Suzuya squatting on the ground making a pinky promise with Kagami, he spoke with empty eyes:

"My imperial concubine has been kidnapped."

I finally found a partner who could help me with loan disbursements and also act as the emperor, but now he's been recruited by the Grand Diviner.

My harem is empty.

March 7th almost choked on his own saliva, looking at Xing with a sympathetic expression:

"Your concubine is only temporarily transferred to the front line; she's not not coming back."

"And when was your harem ever actually implemented? Wasn't it all just something you unilaterally announced?"

Xing didn't speak, but continued to stare at Qiye's back, which made Sanyueqi unable to help but add another sentence.

"Alright, alright, your gaze is practically drilling a hole through the back of the Grand Diviner."

"Just make him a concubine when he comes back."
