Star Railway, starting as Kiana

Although intuition is something that cannot be seen or touched, logically speaking, as a general with unparalleled strategic acumen, he should not abandon a meticulously calculated plan because of a sudden feeling.

However, Jingyuan still acted on his feelings.

"No, it's just the leader of the Bu Li people. Most of the Bu Li soldiers have already been captured. Even that guy who claimed to be Lei's right-hand man was easily dealt with by General Tianji. As for Hu Lei, there's no need for you, Miss Kiana, to take action."

Kiana didn't insist. Hearing that she wasn't needed, Kiana continued eating on her own.

Fei Xiao and Huai Yan, standing to the side, both looked at Jing Yuan with some surprise.

This Shence General is adept at utilizing everything at his disposal to deploy troops and arrange formations.

Logically speaking, Kiana, a truly exceptional character, shouldn't be abandoned, but why...?

Although puzzled, neither of the two generals offered any further opinions.

"Surrounding three sides and leaving one open, is this the plan you're talking about that will ensure the martial arts ceremony proceeds as planned?"

Huaiyan was surprised that Jingyuan was so bold, which made him even more puzzled. Why would Jingyuan leave Kiana out of such an extreme plan and rely solely on himself and his few others?

Hu Lei's strength is not as easily dealt with as Jing Yuan did when he was talking to Kiana earlier.

"Exactly. With Hu Lei's escape, the martial arts ceremony should have been stopped immediately. No one can predict where this ferocious beast will attack. Festivals like this are more likely to become his targets."

"However, the martial arts ceremony has been in preparation for a long time and is inevitable. Announcing its cancellation would break my heart. I thought again, since it has to be held, let it be held. But why must today's ceremony be a true martial arts ceremony?"

The fact that Hu Lei would attack the martial arts ceremony is easily determined, whether from previous fragments of information from Bu Liren or from the recently obtained information about Hu Lei's route.

Now, with Jingyuan's explanation, the Hulei Martial Arts Ceremony has become logical.

Fei Xiao remained silent throughout. Unlike Jing Yuan, Fei Xiao was not adept at strategizing. It would be better to proceed as usual, simply following the plan once it was finalized and pushing forward smoothly.

"If all the spectators and contestants boarding the ship are replaced with Cloud Knights, the Racing Ship suspended in the air will become an excellent battlefield for hunting wolves."

Feixiao really wanted to say, "Jingyuan, your heart is truly wicked; you actually set up an ambush."

But considering that it was an attack on the enemy, Feixiao suggested increasing the intensity.

However, Huaiyan had even more to think about. As the longest-lived being in the Immortal Ship, Huaiyan had witnessed countless formations and plans, but not everything would go according to plan.

What Huaiyan cares about is how to handle unforeseen circumstances.

"But what if Hu Lei didn't intend to attack the martial arts ceremony?"

"Then let him see the order for the Competition Ship as much as possible. The Sky Ship Company will clear the airspace and reduce the number of other starships that can navigate. In this way, when there is only one ship left in the sky, he will have a reason to go."

"General Fei Xi will be responsible for striking the mountain to scare the wolf, cutting off Bu Liren's escape route, making him think he has found a place to go."

"Considering that Bu Li has an inside agent in Luofu, I will be responsible for going there to put pressure on them and keep them busy protecting themselves."

"So, it's time to reveal those hidden pieces that have already been marked?"

"Yes, those Bu Li people whose whereabouts have already been discovered are probably the final enemy. Even if there are still petty villains hiding in the crowd, they won't be able to cause any trouble."

Fei Xiao clenched his fists, stretched his muscles, and then draped a shawl over his shoulders.

"Alright, leave it to me! I'll control the speed a bit to prevent Hu Lei from taking care of everyone before he even gets there!"

"Very well! Then it's time for this old man to get some exercise. I will stand guard at the Jade Gate with the Heavenly Ship Bureau to prevent the situation from getting out of control."

"With Elder Yan acting as this final guarantee, I can rest assured."

"This hunt must teach Hurei a lesson: the hunting arrows are always one step ahead of the prey."

After finalizing their plan, the three decided to go and meet the waiting chamber of commerce members.

After all, they had agreed to lull Hu Lei into a false sense of security, so they had to go all out with the act.

After all, among these chamber of commerce representatives was one of Bu Liren's inside agents, and all of this was just a performance for the other side.

However, at this moment, Kiana put the last piece of pastry into her mouth before speaking again after a long absence.

"Don't worry, that guy will definitely go."

The three of them looked at Kiana simultaneously, their eyes seemingly asking, "Why did you say that?"

Kiana did not respond, but clapped her hands and appeared directly on the streets of Starship Sea.

Three people:?

As Kiana gazed at the racing warship in the sky, a smile gradually crept onto her face.

"No wonder so many people enjoy being riddle solvers. It's so interesting to see someone's curious expression but not hear the rest of the riddle."

Chapter 474 So, who is the defending champion?

Jing Yuan put on a show in Si Chen Palace, completely fooling Bu Liren, the mole hidden among the Chamber of Commerce representatives.

He never imagined that Jing Yuan would discover his true identity and deliberately deceive him.

After all, he had been hiding in Luofu for a hundred years, maintaining a small business guild. Every time he exchanged information with the other Bu Li people, he was very careful and never gave himself away.

Of course, this is what he thinks.

In fact, even if Hu Lei hadn't escaped, he would still have been on the watch list. However, catching him wouldn't have been very meaningful. Instead, keeping him around might lure out a bigger fish, like what's happening now.

"You're saying that Luo Fu completely ignored the matter of the Prison of Imprisonment and didn't care about my escape at all? And he still plans to hold the Martial Arts Ceremony as scheduled?"

"Yes, they have extreme confidence in the guards on the Competition Ship, and every ship heading to the Competition Ship will be inspected. Luggage in the ship area will be sent to the scanning area and storage area via the logistics transfer line, and each person will be registered and security checked by the Machine Bird before entering the venue."

"I haven't been out for too long. It seems some of the cubs are starting to forget the pain they once suffered!"

Hu Lei wore the fox-human disguise, but still exuded the oppressive aura of a superior.

The Bu Li people around them, as well as the Bu Li inside man who had been hiding for a hundred years, almost knelt down on the ground.

Then, Hu Lei withdrew his aura.

"But that's okay."

...

Meanwhile, Kiana was on the streets of Starship Sea, wearing a mask, looking around at the tourists.

What one of the groups said caught Kiana's attention.

She slowly moved closer, completely unnoticed by the people who were talking.

"Speaking of which, when exactly will this martial arts ceremony begin? I've been floating in the sky on that Jingfeng warship for days now, when can I finally get aboard and take a look?"

The person who said this was a Pipisi.

You might get confused just by looking at their height, but the fluffy ball of hair on their head is a distinctive feature of the Pipixi people.

At that moment, the android beside him spoke to its two companions:

"Is this the lifestyle of immortal beings? The pace is so slow. The utility value I'm expecting in my emotional center is at an all-time high. No, I need to drink some cooling liquid to cool it down."

Kiana wanted to retort when she heard his words. Aren't androids also long-lived species? After all, androids can extend their lifespan multiple times, so they can also be called long-lived species.

"Don't worry, as long as you buy tickets, the Earth Balance Division will send us the boarding notice in advance. I saw in the official gazette that the Jingfeng ship will fire a salute before the ceremony!"

"Looking at the first day's schedule, the defending swordsman from the host country has accepted four challenges in a row? I heard he's just a kid, is that true? Ba Feng, which side are you betting on to win?"

The AI, whom the Pipixi people called Bafeng, didn't reveal who he had defeated, but instead asked a question in return.

“You mean that acting general? Although she is indeed very young for a long-lived species, calling her a ‘half-grown child’ is a bit much.”

"What are you talking about? I'm talking about the youngest Yunqi Xiaowei."

"Hmm? Isn't the one defending the arena that acting general?"

"Isn't he that general's apprentice, the youngest Cloud Cavalry Guard?"

The two looked at the locals from Xianzhou standing to the side, trying to learn the truth from them.

The locals, being stared at by the two men, were somewhat bewildered and began scratching their heads.

"Wasn't it said to be the granddaughter of General Huaiyan from Zhu Ming?"

Three people:?

There were only three people, but they came up with three different answers.

They were originally discussing the timing of the martial arts ceremony.

But now, they are even more curious about who exactly the defender chosen by Luofu is.

After a series of inquiries, it was discovered that each of the challengers had their own version of events, as if everyone had their own explanation.

But in the end, the group discovered that the most people seemed to think that Yan Qing was the one who would defend the title, followed by Kiana.

In fact, contrary to the findings, most people had heard that the reigning champion was Kiana, but...

"How could it be Lady Kiana defending the title? She's a general!"

This is why no one believes Kiana is the defending champion.

Kiana, who was standing nearby, also remembered something she had almost forgotten.

"It seems so. They said I was to defend the title, and it seems Jing Yuan also said that if I won, he would grant me a request."

"Hehehe, the championship title is definitely mine!"

"Should we have Jingyuan wear women's clothing, or should we make a uniform for everyone in the Six Divisions?"

"How about we have Jingyuan perform some acrobatics?"

At that moment, Jing Yuan, who was in Si Chen Palace, suddenly felt a chill.

"Sigh, Yanqing is still too young. Fortunately, we decided to let Kiana be the defending champion."

Jing Yuan temporarily handed over command of the Shence Prefecture and the Six Departments to Huai Yan, as Fei Xiao was to carry out the wolf-hunting mission. Jing Yuan himself began to act as a surprise force, planning and fighting.

However, looking at Yanqing and his apprentice's current state, it was fortunate that Kiana was the one defending the title; otherwise, Yanqing would probably have to give up the position and hand it over to someone else temporarily.

"Wait a minute, did I forget to tell Kiana the requirements and time limit for defending the title?"

"She wouldn't go straight to the Competition Ship, would she?"

Thinking of this, Jing Yuan chuckled softly and shook his head.

"Although I forgot to mention it, Kiana has been the acting general for so long, surely she knows this. Besides, the March 7th lady is also participating in the martial arts ceremony, so I suppose they will be going together."

However, Jing Yuan was overthinking it.

Because Kiana was completely unaware of this matter, as for March 7th?

She was waiting for the martial arts ceremony to begin so Kiana could remind her; why would she expect Kiana to remind her?

Just then, Kiana spotted Yan Qing patrolling nearby. It seemed he knew about Jing Yuan's plan, as his expression and aura were extremely serious.

Kiana felt somewhat uncomfortable even when she wanted to say hello.

"Never mind, everyone's busy, it's good to be busy."

Kiana mimicked a clip from a public service advertisement she remembered, put on a practiced expression, and looked at Yanqing.

Yanqing felt uneasy under the stare, but when she turned around, she found a masked person looking at her with the eyes of someone who cared for a child.

After a brief exchange of glances, Yanqing was the first to give in and chose to leave.

Kiana, having achieved victory, was like a proud peacock, returning triumphantly and continuing to move forward.

However, Kiana didn't know when it started, but she always felt like there were several eyes watching her from behind.

Chapter 475 Kiana: A Step Away?

"Alright, there's no one left here. Aren't you all coming out?"

Kiana walked into a quiet, deserted alley, but after she finished speaking, she received no response for a long time, as if the person Kiana was talking about did not exist.

"Aren't you coming out yet? Should I leave? Or are you too shy and need me to come out?"

Seeing that there was still no movement behind her, it was as if everything was just Kiana's imagination.

Kiana simply shrugged, turned around, and walked deeper into the alley.

In reality, everything that just happened was not Kiana's illusion.

"Is she trying to trick us?"

No, that's not it.

The people following Kiana felt a sudden lightness in their bodies, and they were teleported from the shadows to Kiana's front.

Kiana was looking down at the fox-people in front of her, each dressed in a different way.

“Bu Liren? What are you following me for? Feixiao was so anxious looking for you that he ate two baskets of xiaolongbao.”
