Jing Yuan smiled faintly but did not answer, instead gesturing for him to look toward the end of the line of sight.
"Look over there. Your friends are fighting the Legion's lackeys. Why not go help them first?"
Dan Heng's attention instantly shifted; without a word, he rushed out.
But the next second, he discovered that Leon was there too!
"(Wasn't he staying on the Express to recuperate... When did he arrive...?)"
"(...First deal with those Legion grunts!)"
As the tail end of Dan Heng's inner voice fell, the screen split and entered battle.
Glancing at the character bar, Ah Xian rolled her eyes.
From left to right: Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae with "Plot" on top, the other three with "Trial"—Jing Yuan, March 7th, and the protagonist.
"Where's my Leon? Where's Old Yang? Where's Fu Xuan?"
"Fu Xuan is at least a character UP in the next version like Dan Heng SP. Showing a skill isn't too much, right?"
"Why hide it so tightly... Hmm? Holy crap?"
Her gaze froze on the left action bar.
There were two character avatars not in the team: one Leon, one Welt.
And on the right side of the screen, there was a support skill button.
Could it be... Fu Xuan's off-field support?
On the action bar, when it was Leon's and Welt's turn to act, they would each release their Skill.
Soon the support skill charged; Ah Xian eagerly pressed R.
"Man proposes!"
The full Fu Xuan Ultimate animation brought a fresh sensation that excited countless players.
Female character—popularity is basically not a worry.
Not to mention cute appearance, nice voice, even cuter personality—pink Theresa...
Okay, wrong channel.
Should say pink-haired Master Diviner.
[Clearly a Preservation, why are the skill effects so flashy too?]
[This matter is also recorded on the great Leon. So far, whose effects can compare to his dragon?]
[Indeed, up to now, Ah Xian's Leon plot trial skill demo clips have 7 million views on the site.]
[I contributed a daily refresh. Another version waiting for great Leon.]
[Don't know if 1.4 will UP him; so anxious.]
[Comparing effects with great Leon—Jing Yuan and dragon Dan Heng are about equal... probably.]
[Whether effects are flashy is subjective; no need to discuss.]
[I want to nominate a headbutt launcher high-speed big C.]
[Seele: Don't sleep too soundly tonight!]
Fu Xuan's face lit up: "Jing Yuan! You're finally here!"
"Ha ha, I am late."
Jing Yuan smiled.
"Thanks to Diviner Fu's support all the way. I've received the battle reports from the Seat of Divine Foresight. Disciples of Sanctus Medicus aside for now; as for Phantylia's plan..."
"The Ambrosial Arbor—the greatest anomaly is there."
Fu Xuan said gravely:
"It is said Lord Ravager Phantylia's method is to cause internal chaos and self-destruction."
"She must want to touch the Ambrosial Arbor, broadcast the power of the Plagues Author, turn Luofu into a mud hell overrun by undead abominations."
"Mm, I have an idea."
Jing Yuan's expression didn't change much; he slightly turned to look at Stelle and the others.
"Everyone from the Express Crew, I brought someone you definitely want to see."
Dan Heng slowly walked forward, lightly nodding at everyone.
"You, you are..."
March 7th covered her mouth.
"Are you Dan Heng?! It's Dan Heng, right? What's with those horns on your head?"
Leon raised the corners of his mouth: "The time has come. Welcome the High Elder's return."
"Not bro, High Elder? Got it!"
Stelle was utterly shocked, then instantly switched expressions, lowering her voice.
"When will the old enemy arrive? I've been waiting a bit anxiously..."
"..."
Dan Heng's mouth twitched; Jing Yuan's eye corner jumped.
Both tacitly said nothing, but their expressions looked somehow odd.
"Ha ha goose goose goose... killing me!"
[Leon said the truth, but Trailblazer thought it was to liven the atmosphere with the Dragon King return meme, talent-activated continuation—Dan Heng probably wants to hit someone after hearing.]
[Password's, Blade just UP, already playing his voice line memes.]
[How few times has Trailblazer played voice memes? Not just other game characters, even other games' lines.]
[Add: not just games, also film and TV works.]
[My god, Star Rail meme way.]
"A proper large unboxing, proper companion reunion—originally somewhat serious tone, forcibly made joyful by these two."
Dan Heng's gaze lingered on Leon, mixed with some complexity.
As if hearing the certainty in his half-joking tone, and the expected.
He sighed softly.
"It's a long story. It's me."
March 7th's eyes widened in disbelief: "No way, you really had hidden power?!"
Dan Heng didn't know how to answer.
Jing Yuan saw his discomfort and smilingly shifted the topic back to business.
"Alright, friend catch-up can wait for now."
"Oh right right."
March 7th actually didn't think too much; she also turned to gesture at the man beside her.
"General, let me introduce—this is Leon, our Astral Express's reliable doctor."
Seeing this, players couldn't help but anticipate the follow-up.
With god's perspective, almost forgot March 7th and others still don't know Leon and Jing Yuan have met.
The camera followed March 7th's gesture to Leon's face.
Mm... signature smiling squinting eyes, head tilted left, can't tell what he's thinking.
But can tell he seems a bit amused.
Jing Yuan smiled dumbfoundedly.
"No need. Brother Leon and I are already acquainted—like old friends at first sight."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions differed; the camera panned over each face in turn.
Welt pushed his glasses.
March 7th's mouth slightly open, as if could fit several question marks.
Stelle scratched her head, looked at Leon, then at Jing Yuan.
Dan Heng was okay—confused but at least expression managed.
The most laugh-inducing was Fu Xuan's reaction.
She clenched her fists, eyes shut tight, corners twitching nonstop.
"(Already acquainted, like old friends at first sight!)"
"(What about me?)"
"(Did you ask me, discuss with me?)"
"(This seat is at least the Master Diviner of the Divination Commission—after knowing your plan, could I not see the big picture?)"
"(General this bad egg, really want to skin him...)"
[No-no! I can't laugh!]
[Fu Xuan: Two super big bad eggs!]
[Jing Yuan in danger, about to be skinned by Fu Xuan~~]
Fu Xuan's inner voice rang; who knows how many couldn't hold it, laughing extremely freely.
[Even professionally trained can't withstand.]
Ah Xian's shoulders shrugged up and down; camera couldn't see her face, but body language told all she was holding back terribly.
In the end, Stelle broke the weird silence.
"You two... what's the situation exactly?"
