Three minutes later—
Seeing Sushang holding the incense burner, looking weak and exhausted yet with a face full of joy as she headed to the medical hall for a check-up, the two old foxes tacitly withdrew their gazes.
"What idea is the General thinking of? Let me guess, is it that you want to find a reason to keep the person on the Luofu?"
"Worthy of being Brother Leon, even this was discovered by you."
Jing Yuan laughed heartily.
"Although Miss Sushang is still a newborn calf, her character is rarely pragmatic, and she also has talent. She has perfectly inherited the strengths of her parents; one could say she has surpassed her teacher."
"Given time, her achievements will certainly not be low."
The Luofu was currently severely lacking in pillars and backbone forces.
"Does the General know her parents?" Leon asked casually.
"At first I wasn't clear. Just now I heard it by chance. I checked who the Xiao Wei under General Feixiao are, and I knew immediately."
As Cloud Knight Xiao Wei who accompanied the Xianzhou Generals in battle, information was transparent on the side of the Reignbow Arbiter's Seven Heavenly Generals.
As long as one wanted to know, they could find out at any time.
"The Taixu Sword Art passed down in Qin Suyi's family, I once heard my master mention it in passing. It is said to have an extraordinary origin."
"If Sushang can enter the hall and reach the inner chamber, her future achievements should not be inferior to Yanqing's."
Leon nodded and changed the topic.
"How many leads are there on the traitors from the Vidyadhara side?"
"There are some, but we can only wait for the other side to jump out."
Leon smiled. "If it's inconvenient for you to show yourself, I can contact General Xuanquan on your behalf. It's just that this favor will need to be transferred."
"Hahahaha…"
Jing Yuan couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this.
"No rush. The follow-up matters regarding the Ambrosial Arbor calamity have not yet concluded. Let them be free and unfettered for a while longer."
Leon pondered, thinking of certain regulations of the Xianzhou Alliance.
"Could it be that Marshal Hua intends to hold you accountable for violating regulations?"
"This matter—"
Jing Yuan revealed a meaningful expression.
"I cannot say what the Marshal is thinking, but those old fellows hiding in the rear will definitely have someone seize the opportunity to make an issue of it."
"The Ambrosial Arbor reviving, the Luofu being invaded by a Lord Ravager, nearly causing a great disaster—they will certainly not be able to sit still and will definitely submit a memorial against me to the Marshal."
"In addition, the traitors among the Vidyadhara of the Luofu will definitely use Dan Heng's return to make an issue of it, pinning the hat of 'not valuing the alliance' on me no matter what."
"Tsk tsk…"
Speaking to this point, Jing Yuan couldn't help but mock himself.
"Thinking like this, the situation of this old bag of bones of mine doesn't seem too good either."
"Conservative estimate: at least two other Xianzhou Generals will be ordered to come to the Luofu to investigate."
"With the time perception of long-life species and the distance between the Luofu and the other Xianzhous, the ones coming might be General Tianji and General Zhuyuan. The timeframe would be within three months."
"By that time, the Vidyadhara traitors should take the initiative to jump out. It won't be too late to deal with this group of fellows then."
Hearing this, Leon had a clear understanding in his heart.
The Divine Foresight General was indeed the Divine Foresight General. In terms of strategizing and planning, he was outstanding in one aspect: no matter how bad the situation, he could always grasp it perfectly.
Jing Yuan revealed an apologetic expression.
"It's just that when the time comes, we may still have to trouble you or Dan Heng to show yourselves. The Dragon Master is not an idiot; he will definitely use the alliance treaty to restrain me, making it impossible for me to act."
"Do a good deed to the end and send the Buddha all the way to the west. General, there is no need to feel guilty about this."
Leon waved his hand.
"No matter what, the Luofu is now allied with the Astral Express. Cause and effect cycle. Everything the Express has done for the Luofu now, the Luofu will definitely repay in the future."
"If after the disaster ends there are still many hidden dangers, and it is impossible to recuperate and strengthen its power, whether the future Luofu can help the Express will still be an unknown."
Leon's words were very straightforward and not particularly pleasant to hear.
Jing Yuan naturally understood and didn't mind at all.
Smart people open the skylight and speak plainly. In this kind of occasion, beating around the bush would undoubtedly be beneath one's status.
Thinking of all the troublesome matters he would have to face in the future, Jing Yuan couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh deeply.
"Sigh… I really want to retire…"
...
Parallel Universe.
Version 1.5 updated as scheduled. Players entered the game as scheduled.
Ah Xian finished watching the promotional advertisement sent by Guinaifen, then opened the quest list.
※Sojourners' Ghastly Reverie
Talk to Guinaifen in Aurum Alley.
Just as he was about to click to track, he suddenly noticed that the text description was a bit neurotic.
——No matter what kind of education in science, magic, faith, or anything else you have received in the first half of your life.
When a third-rate internet celebrity sends you a spam short message, claiming that she encountered supernatural ghosts in some abandoned garden, what is your reaction?
Yay, I can stick with her.
What new type of scam text, block and don't send.
Forget it, go take a look.
Of course, no matter which one you choose, you secretly make up your mind that no matter how eloquent Guinaifen's tongue is, you will absolutely not spend fifty Credit Points for this trip. Absolutely not!
Besides, where would you have spare money in your pocket?
"A bit raw grass, and also sticking together. Fun."
[Fifty Credit Points? Who the hell is the text description hinting at?]
[It must be Ale Daozhang!]
[Anything can appear in the Star Rail meme path, stay calm.]
Star arrived at the dock and saw the red-haired girl dressed in festive attire at a glance.
Guinaifen enthusiastically stepped forward to greet her.
「Hello, family! You must be the one who is curious about supernatural events and came here to find me, right?」
「What a coincidence. I just finished editing the video I recorded during the live stream. It can serve as evidence for you to see.」
「But before watching the video, I want to ask you, family, one question: Do you believe in the existence of ghosts and specters?」
①「I believe there really are ghosts in this world!」
②「One look and it's true. Identified as fake.」
③「Whether I believe or not is one thing, but your text message…」
"Ha, one look and it's true, right? How come the text description also learned to play with inverted sentences?"
Ah Xian couldn't hold it in and chose option two without thinking.
Star revealed a doubtful expression.
「Although this is the Xianzhou Luofu, Master Diviner Fu just told me some time ago to believe in science.」
「Don't believe rumors, don't spread rumors. I don't believe in traditional ghosts and specters, but in terms of species… it's hard to say.」
Guinaifen didn't expect Star to answer seriously and her eyes lit up.
「Hmph hmph, family who doesn't believe in me is in trouble now~~」
「Next, the video I'm going to show you will help me prove that the Xianzhou is truly a place full of supernatural phenomena.」
「No more idle talk, watch quickly. This is the strange thing that happened when I was live streaming in Fyxestroll Garden yesterday.」
Guinaifen handed her phone to Star.
The player's perspective switched to a vertical phone live stream screen.
The live stream interface was made quite realistically. Not only did it have streamer information, there were also scrolling bullet comments on the left, and even fan badges.
It's just that the text was game-specific language. Without research, one couldn't understand it after translation.
Guinaifen faced the camera with a nervous expression.
「Family, right now little Guizi is at the most terrifying supernatural holy land on the Luofu — Fyxestroll Garden!」
「Please family like, follow, and forward to give little Guizi some courage.」
Sushang suddenly poked her head out from behind Guinaifen's back. Her neck was slightly curled up, and her small expression looked even more scared than Guinaifen's.
「I heard that recently there have been quite a few strange incidents here…」
Seeing Sushang like this, Guinaifen became even more panicked: 「Your courage is so small… Didn't you say you would protect me?」
「How can Cloud Knight sword art slay intangible things… Ah—」
