Chapter 434

~4 min read 789 words

Yanqing wakes up with a start.

He is personally very uncomfortable with General Jing Yuan handing over the task of capturing the Stellaron Hunters to the Astral Express crew.

This matter was originally the duty of the Cloud Knights.

Although the General has his own calculations for deploying the cavalry, as a Cloud Knight Lieutenant, he still feels looked down upon.

Therefore, taking advantage of the night, he came to the Stargazer Navalia and prepared to go to Cloudford to check.

But, just as he arrived, there was an explosion.

He hurriedly flew over on his sword.

After all, a building exploded, and this matter... was originally the duty of the Cloud Knights.

"By the way, Helmsman, you are..."

"This is Tingyun's residence."

"Oh."

Yanqing nods.

He naturally knows Tingyun.

She was also raised by this Helmsman since she was a child.

It's just...

He looks at Lu Shu suspiciously; how could this new tourist to the Xianzhou appear at Tingyun's residence?

Could it be that he was plotting against Tingyun, and they started fighting, destroying half the house?

His eyes immediately carry a hint of hostility.

"I always feel like you're thinking of something rude?"

"It was a 'Heliobus'."

【Garbled text】

"It attempted to possess Tingyun, but I drove it away."

Lu Shu says.

"Heliobus?"

Yanqing naturally knows.

The Ten-Lords Commission specializes in this, but there have been few reports of Heliobi in recent years.

Only in the opera circles are there occasional rumors of 'hauntings' that make people panic.

"Then what about Tingyun?"

Compared to the Heliobus, Yukong cares more about the little fox.

"I'm fine."

Tingyun, dressed neatly, slowly pushes open the door and walks out gracefully.

"Phew~, that's good, that's good."

Yukong gently pats her imposing and burly chest, letting out a sigh of relief.

"Miss Tingyun, please tell us in detail what happened at that time."

As a Cloud Knight Lieutenant, it is Yanqing's duty.

MD.

He was planning to go find Kafka.

As a result, a Heliobus popped out again.

Damn.

Immediately, Tingyun tells the story of what happened "from beginning to end."

Of course, she glossed over the scene where she was taking a bath.

A moment later, Yanqing pinches his chin and frowns: "Alright then, Miss Tingyun, I will report this matter to the General."

A Heliobus jumping out to cause trouble without anyone noticing cannot be underestimated.

Sigh.

First the Stellaron, then the Heliobus; it really is incredibly headache-inducing.

"In that case, I will take my leave first."

After saying that, Yanqing jumps onto his long sword and flies out through the gap.

Only three people are left in the room.

The atmosphere is a bit strange.

"Um,... Mr. Lu, why are you here in the middle of the night?"

Yukong is suspicious.

This question feels inexplicably ominous.

Just as Tingyun is about to say something, Lu Shu has already spoken first.

But those words make her want to die.

"Oh, the little fox invited me to meet here at the second watch."

Lu Shu says seriously. (Confirmed)

As expected!

I knew it would be like this.

Tingyun covers her forehead, wanting to die.

"Meet... meet?!"

Yukong's brain buzzes, and she can't process it on the spot, looking blankly at Tingyun and then blankly at Lu Shu.

She sighs in her heart that Tingyun is also at the age for romance.

It's just, how could it be so fast?

She ignores so many young talents of the Foxian race, so why did she suddenly take a fancy to Lu Shu?

They've only been here for a few hours, right?

What happened?

"Don't listen to his nonsense, I, I was just blinking."

Tingyun is on the verge of tears.

Indeed.

She doesn't know whether she should laugh or cry.

If these two winks hadn't been misunderstood by the person opposite, she might have already died by now.

But, inexplicably being treated as a "secret meeting at the second watch," my innocence, ah ah ah.

"There is no misunderstanding."

"Where we come from, the subtext of blinking twice is: 'Meet at the second watch'."

Lu Shu (confirmed) talks nonsense.

( ̄^ ̄) Hmph!

"..."

Uh.

Yukong doesn't know what to say either.

Does this count as a lucky strike?

"Regardless, I still want to thank Mr. Lu for his help; Yukong owes you a favor."

Yukong is grateful.

【Garbled text】

"Ah? No, no, if anyone owes a favor, it should be me!"

For some reason, Tingyun instinctively resists Yukong owing Lu Shu a favor.

"Alright then."

"Tingyun, go pack up, and come stay at my place tonight (chaf)."

"This place is no longer habitable."

Yukong says.

The subtext is that she doesn't want Tingyun to have a "secret meeting" with Lu Shu so soon.
