The officers from the Earth Balance Division scanned the group, but did not give a direct answer.

"These are all wounded soldiers who have retreated from the front lines. Although Changletian is now considered a safe zone in the rear, if you all have the means, I still suggest you take the Starship to the Starship Sea. Unfortunately, the shipping routes are currently blocked."

"It's alright, we have a private boat to pick us up!"

Xing Yi put his hands on his hips and said smugly.

"Oh, it seems you really are a distinguished guest." The service attitude improved considerably instantly.

From him, everyone roughly understood the situation of the disaster in the star core.

“It seems that the situation is gradually deteriorating due to the influence of the star core. We should speed things up,” Walter pondered.

Just then, a commotion in the square caught their attention.

Among the wounded lying on the ground receiving treatment, several suddenly let out strange roars.

"Watch out, they've been possessed by evil spirits!"

The physician from the Pill Refining Department quickly retreated. They then saw the cloud rider slowly begin to change, golden leaves sprouting from its body.

"It's a demonic incarnation!"

Little March covered her mouth and screamed in surprise. The others' expressions changed, and they rushed over.

At that moment, a petite figure soared into the air, her short legs leaping out of the air with a sudden kick. Accompanied by a soft rumble of thunder, the demonic figure abruptly stopped, as if struck by a heavy blow, and collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.

Her petite figure landed instantly, catching the gourd falling from mid-air with her right hand, and chuckled.

"This is my latest physical therapy method. Quickly give him this medicine and make him lie still!"

The person who appeared at the scene was none other than the Dragon Girl Bai Lu. Just as she was about to hand the gourd in her hand to the doctor, there was another sound behind her.

"careful!"

Before she could react, several company guards suddenly appeared from both sides.

"Let's go help!"

The train crew behind them followed suit.

"Bang! Bang! Crack! Crack!"

After a fierce battle, the Cloud Rider, who had just been transformed into a demonic being, fell to the ground once again.

"Hmph, you got a beating, now you can lie still obediently, right?"

Bai Lu stomped her foot and snorted coldly, then looked at the group of people who had just helped.

"Thank you to these two...big brothers from the company, for your help just now."

"No need for thanks, Dragon Maiden. Our Lord Lin instructed us to assist in maintaining order in Chang Le Tian. Oh... He also said that if we see a clever Dragon Maiden, we should invite her to visit the company headquarters when she has time, and she'll be provided with unlimited snacks."

"Master Lin..."

Bai Lu pointed to her face in thought, then suddenly her eyes lit up.

"You're not talking about Lin Yuan, are you?"

“Exactly.” The two company employees exchanged a glance and then nodded.

"Hmm... Comrade Kobayashi is quite conscientious!"

Bai Lu spoke in a childish voice, but with an air of maturity beyond her years.

"Remember to tell him to come visit me often! After he left last time, the Pill Refining Division made it even harder for me to run around. Luckily, I managed to sneak out this time using an official document from the Earth Balance Division!"

After the Dragon Girl happily saw off the company personnel, she turned her attention to the other warriors who had come to her aid.

"Thank you so much, uncles and aunties, for helping to calm the patient down! Your technique of physical anesthesia is truly remarkable."

"Well."

Uncle Yang nodded slightly, having gleaned a great deal of valuable information from the conversation.

Whether it was the conversation with Scott earlier, the Hammerfall squad that captured Kafka, or the two corporate men talking to the child just now, the same name appeared repeatedly in their conversations.

"It seems that the mastermind behind all of this in Luofu is this 'Lord Lin.' I wonder what kind of person he is?"

Walter was deep in thought, while March, on the other hand, curiously squatted down in front of Bailu:

"Little boy, why are you running around all alone? Where's your dad?"

"I don't have a father."

Bai Lu said in a very serious tone.

"Ah...and what about your mother?"

A look of guilt appeared on March's face.

"I don't have a mother either."

"I'm so damn stupid."

March fell silent; she felt like she might jump up and slap herself twice in her sleep every night.

"Oh dear, don't let my small size fool you into thinking I'm some little kid who ran away from home. Please, little sister from out of town, this is a Celestial Ship! We, the Vidyadharas, don't need parents!"

"I've been studying medicine since I was born, and I'm a properly licensed physician in the Alchemy Department!"

Seeing that the petite child's tone and expression seemed genuine, the group of people were all somewhat moved.

"I didn't expect him to be a veteran. No wonder his speech and behavior are much more mature than some others."

Xing sighed, then glanced to the side.

"Hey, what are you looking at me for? What do you mean by that?!"

.......

After a pleasant conversation with the Dragon Girl, the group bid her farewell and continued their search for the guide arranged by the diviner.

Unfortunately, after wandering around most of Changle Tian Square, they only saw a few tables of people gathered together playing cards in a somewhat noisy manner—this had nothing to do with the image of the Tabushi.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Xing suddenly received a message on his terminal.

Hello everyone, Taibuming, we're waiting for you!

[A quick calculation suggests this was foreseen. I have urgent business to attend to right now and cannot leave. Please come to (the picture) for a chat.]

"Isn't this the place where those people were playing cards? Why would the person who was supposed to guide us be in a place like this?!"

March was speechless.

I searched for him a thousand times in the crowd, but suddenly when I turned around, there he was, in the dim light.

When they arrived at the card table, they felt the atmosphere was different from other places.

"Hurry up, Qingque, we guys are all about to die."

"That's what happened last time. When you were about to lose at cards, you stalled for time and then made an excuse to leave. You're not going to do the same thing again, are you?"

"How can that be the same? Don't you think about my current status? Would I do something like that?"

"Sigh, I really don't understand, I don't know why the company would contact you."

"Exactly, my card skills aren't any better than yours!"

Amidst the whispers of his fellow card players, Qingque's eyes darted around behind his sunglasses.

She suddenly turned to look at the group of people standing at the card table, and a broad smile immediately appeared on her face.

"Oh my, these three look so distinguished, I knew you must be important guests."

Qingque suddenly stood up and explained to the three card players:

"The event sponsors I arranged should have arrived by now. Business is important, and you don't want the event to fall through, right? You'd better get out of here."

"Hey! She got away again!"

The group was led aside, and everyone looked at the petite girl with sunglasses and a shrewd expression. She then pulled a brand-new business card from her pocket.

"I am Qing Que, the operations expert for the Imperial Jade Brand, and the company's designated consultant for the Jade Brand competition. Do you gentlemen have any cooperation to discuss?"

"Uh...no."

March scratched his head.

“We must have the wrong person. We are looking for a guide from the Tabuan.”

"what?"

Qingque was taken aback upon hearing this, and silently took the business card back.

She looked around carefully, then cautiously took off her sunglasses and gave a somewhat embarrassed smile.

"That...that's me too. Hehe, since we've waited so long, shall we set off?"

...........

Chapter 230 Ambition

"Hey Qingque, I saw a consultant position for a company on your business card."

Following the petite bluebird ahead, Xing squinted her eyes and asked curiously.

Upon hearing this question, Qingque broke out in a cold sweat.

"Well, the company wants to promote the Imperial Jade Brand project, so we consulted a few experts for some guidance..."

"So you were holding a position in the Bureau of Taxation while also working for the company?"

"No, this is just a side job... just a side job."

"I understand, I understand." March tugged at a star, then agreed:

"So this is what it means to be a tabusi (a type of astrologer) for work and a jasmine (a type of jewel) for life, right? We also really enjoy taking photos outside of our usual exploration trips."

"Yes, yes, I also like rummaging through trash cans."

"Uh...you two really understand me. But when I meet Tai Bu later, please keep it a secret for me, okay? I...I'll treat you to Taro Boba Tea later."

"Good!"

Guided by Qingque, the group headed towards the Taibu Si (a place name).
