Old Yang knew the timing was wrong; both parties were a bit distracted. Now that the socializing was almost over, he decided to find an excuse to leave.
"I'm afraid that will disappoint Mr. Walter."
Yukong had clearly been distracted by the socializing just now, temporarily putting Qingni's thoughts aside—but for some reason, the thought of archery seemed to have made her hesitate again.
【“···The sky is no longer suitable for me.”】
After Xing and Lao Yang left Sichen Palace, they found Qingni waiting for them outside the gate.
Qingni apologizes to them again—I've made a fool of myself by letting my two benefactors see the joke about my mother.
"As for the parent-child relationship... I understand!" Xing seemed very open-minded.
"It seems like you've also encountered something similar? That's great! No, no, I mean, I finally met someone I can relate to."
"I've already passed my coming-of-age ceremony and am an adult. I have the freedom to pursue my dreams! But my mother still treats me like a child and keeps me under her wings."
"It's like I can't live even a moment without her."
·····
The world of the Battle of the Two Cities.
Looking at what happened to Yukong and Qingni, Caitlin inexplicably thought of her relationship with her mother.
His family is also a famous family in Piltover, so his mother naturally hopes that he can inherit the family business and make further progress in business, investment, and political intrigue.
Becoming a law enforcer in order to gain power and expand the family's sphere of influence would naturally be a very good thing.
Even if Jace could make a name for himself in the parliament with his skills and gain influence in law enforcement, the strength of the Gilaman family would naturally rise to a higher level.
However, now in pursuit of justice, he chose to cooperate with Wei and came to Zaun... This was obviously not what his mother wanted to see.
After arriving in Zaan, Wei saw through his forced calmness - she sighed a few times and tried to persuade himself.
Caitlyn knew what she meant: if a young lady like her came to Zaun, she would be eaten to the very last drop.
If she was scared, she might as well turn back sooner rather than later. Since she'd bailed her out, Vi wouldn't break her promise and would help Caitlin gather the intelligence she needed. Caitlin just had to stay in a safe area.
Caitlin was a little hesitant... Was she really as naive as Qingni?
·····
Old Yang coughed lightly. If Qingni were to vent her emotions here, it would be a laughing stock for everyone on the street. He took over the conversation and said, "Well, Miss Qingni, this is your family affair, and I can't interfere. But I can share some personal experiences-"
"Being a parent can make you stubborn. To change a rock requires the patient rubbing of water droplets day after day," Old Yang said earnestly.
"So, instead of blowing up like you did today, Ms. Qingni, why don't you patiently prove through your actions that you can take care of yourself?"
Xing rubbed his head and thought, "Uncle Yang is the only one who can handle this family education question!"
Qingni calmed down after being comforted by Lao Yang. "Actually, my mom is a very reasonable person."
"But when it comes to flying, she becomes unreasonable."
"She hid my toy Star Raft, dragged me away from the harbor counting spaceships, and forced me to study at my desk..." Qing Ni recounted the details like the back of her hand. "Although I worked hard to finally get into the Tianbo Division, she ultimately arranged for me to work as a clerk."
"Alas, every day when I walk down Xuanye Street and look up at the aircraft flying freely across the sky, I feel a sense of emptiness inside..."
Listening to Qingni's story, Lao Yang and Xing sighed.
[Seemingly realizing that pouring out her troubles to outsiders wasn't a good idea, especially considering these two were her lifesavers—rubbing her starving stomach, Qingni took the initiative to lead the way, taking the two to find something delicious on the immortal boat.]
[The group ate and chatted, and Qingni even treated them to her favorite drink—soda bean juice!]
Xing gulped it down, looking at Qingni with admiration; while Lao Yang remembered the taste of Jizi's coffee...
The group chatted and laughed, and before they knew it, they had arrived at a Star Raft.
Looking at the star chariot, Qing Ni was moved by the scene and told the two about her mother's legendary past, her words full of longing.
[My mother was actually assigned to the Tianbo Division by General Jing Yuan himself... She later became the holder of the Tianbo Division's fastest speed record and the record for the number of aircraft shot down.]
Qingni is naturally proud of her mother and wants to become a legend like her mother.
[However, since the Third Abundant People's War, Mother has never boarded the Star Raft again, and never mentions her achievements.]
·····
The world of Attack on Titan.
Captain Erwin couldn't calm down for a long time after hearing the words "Third Fertility War".
These seemingly simple words may be something Qingni can say casually.
But for people like Yukong who have participated in wars, people like Jingyuan who have commanded wars, and people like Lao Yang who may not have experienced it but have traveled to various places... the weight of this word is extremely heavy!
I can understand it, after all, I am also a soldier.
What can turn into a war cannot be just some local friction.
The immortal ship is so huge, the population on it may be hundreds of millions... or even more. The population of an immortal ship is billions?
So what about the entire Xianzhou Alliance?
With a population of trillions? So a few million or tens of millions of troops wouldn't be excessive, right?
If tens of millions of people fight against tens of thousands of people, it is not called a war - there will not even be a record.
Not worth mentioning.
The only thing that can lead to a war is an equal opponent - in other words, a war of abundance may involve armies of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions!
Could the Xianzhou Alliance have fought three such wars and still survived?
The key point for the immortal boat people to fall into the devil's body is the accumulation of extreme emotions... Yukong is a fox clan, although his lifespan is not as long as the immortal boat people, he should not be in danger of falling into the devil's body...
But this kind of life experience... personally experiencing the deaths of hundreds of thousands or even millions of people...
Yukong is still able to be a supervisor and not go crazy. He thinks to himself - isn't he superhuman?!
I don’t know what kind of war Yukong has experienced, I can only guess, but it’s so horrifying - I dare not imagine what Yukong feels.
A mother like this would never let her child join the army no matter what - especially since Qingni seemed so clueless...
Captain Erwin sighed - saving a person would cause an accident to the Star Chariot, and if he really went to the battlefield... wouldn't Yukong receive an obituary the next day?
Chapter 179: Flying in the Sky (4): Xiaolan: As a family member, I understand it very well!
"When I was little, I followed her example and secretly drove the Star Raft, experimenting with all sorts of extreme maneuvers... It turns out I'm just as gifted as she is, because not only did I survive, I also managed to stay steady."
Qingni recalled the scene, "When I was brought to my mother, I happily showed her off, thinking she would burst out laughing, pat my head, and say she was worthy of being my daughter."
"The result, ah, I've never seen her look so scary..."
"I admit that a minor driving a Star Raft deserves to be punished. However, my mother seemed to be angry about more than just that."
"But I was angry that I had her as a role model, that I had the same talent as her. I never understood why."
"A minor secretly driving a Star Raft? Good grief, no wonder your mom's mad!"
"However, if Yukong's anger isn't due to this reason, then that's quite intriguing..." Xing was a little puzzled.
"Parents don't want their children to be in danger. I think I can understand Master Yukong's feelings." Old Yang pondered.
"But...flying is the only thing I want to do. Because I've already touched the sky." Qing Ni was secretly sad.
[Suddenly, Qingni's phone rang. It was a message from Xikui.]
When Yukong led his men to rescue Qingni, he left a pendant at Return Star Harbor. Xikui hoped Qingni would find it and mend her relationship with her mother.
Lao Yang and Xing agreed to help. The three of them used the Robot Bird to search in Star Harbor and quickly found the pendant.
After retrieving the pendant, Qing Ni was somewhat puzzled. It was a small item that pilots would hang in their starship cabins to pray for good luck, and it also contained a hunting emblem.
Qing Ni was very confused: Her mother kept this pendant, obviously she missed her flying days very much. So why did she refuse to fly now and not allow her children to fly?
·····
Conan World.
In the Mouri office, Xiaolan is sorting out the magazines that Kogoro Mouri has scattered around.
Looking at the light curtain in the sky, she suddenly understood Yukong's feelings as a mother.
My father used to be a policeman and is now a detective.
The police officers that Xiaolan has been following since she was a child are Inspector Megure, Sato, Takagi, Shiratori and others.
Her mother, Eri Kisaki, is a lawyer, and few of the criminals she deals with have easy cases.
Not to mention the cases that my family has encountered, murder cases have become commonplace.
Skyscrapers, Shinkansen, aquariums, underwater security facilities... What kind of explosion have you not seen?
Xiaolan felt that her family was very lucky as no one had died after going through so many cases.
And what about Miss Yukong's family? They are soldiers!
Being a police officer does not necessarily mean death, but being a soldier brings you ever closer to death the moment you "start your work" on the battlefield.
Although there are some police and military families with many loyal and martyr families, they are a very small minority.
Most people cannot accept the practice of a whole family having to worry about their lives.
And that pendant—Xiaolan couldn't figure out what Yukong's pendant meant. Was it a medal of honor from the war? A pendant for blessing? Or a relic from a comrade?
But such a unique shape must have a special meaning. Xiaolan thought it was more likely a commemorative emblem of a battle.
That battle must have hurt Miss Yukong a lot, so she wouldn't want her daughter to join the army...
·····
"Perhaps we can try indirectly, asking someone with inside knowledge." Lao Yang thought that finding a starting point from Yukong's experience might yield some results.
[And the first "insider" Old Yang thought of was General Jing Yuan—she was the one who promoted Yukong, so he might know more about the past than anyone else.]
"Hey! Let's go play with Jing Yuan! I wonder how Jing Yuan's injury is doing?" Xing laughed secretly.
Qingni wanted to be alone, so only Xing and Lao Yang went to the Shen Ce Mansion. As soon as they entered the gate, they saw Jingyuan reading documents at the table.
Jing Yuan's health had recovered well, and he was in a good mood. He had heard about the commotion at the Tianbo Division and knew it was the mother and daughter's problem.
Old Yang took out the pendant—called the "Divine Arrow Embers" according to the Xianzhou people—and wanted to learn more about Yukong's past from the general.
