Chapter 776

"It's getting late, San Yue Xiaojie. I'm not like you few; I'm just an adult bound by duty, and the tasks the general of my family gave me won't complete themselves," Jiao Qiu shifted tone, his expression serious, and asked, "By the way, young brother Yan Qing, in an area like Revolving Star Port that runs automatically, do we usually have so many of us wandering around?"

Yan Qing scratched his head awkwardly, "…Actually, this place normally doesn't allow casual trespassing. It's just that everyone is a guest, so I brought you all here to have a look."

"Understood. Then I shall take my leave; may you both achieve your wishes at tomorrow's arena."

Jiao Qiu waved his hand and then left.

Watching Jiao Qiu's departing back, San Yue Qi puffed his cheeks, "Honestly… I spent ages thinking what my dream is, and he didn't even ask!"

After inspecting the surprise warship, the three of them prepared to head back, but on the way home they secretly spotted a group of Cloud Cavalry and a craftsman hidden in a corner.

"... Shut up, Red Fang, these ships aren't beast vessels after all; I need some time to fix it," the craftsman said.

"You voluntarily donned the skin of a lowly beast, joined this operation, and sacrificed yourself for the glorious cause. Now you tell me you can't handle it? Do you know how many ships we need?" a cloud knight soldier shouted angrily at the craftsman.

"I'm doing my best, I'm researching; all this takes time."

Another fox person dressed in Heavenly Vessel Department attire said, "When tomorrow's salute sounds, everyone's attention will be drawn, and there won't be a second chance—"

——

Harry Potter.

"They're Buli people! They can disguise themselves so perfectly!"

Hermione was astonished, but what surprised her wasn't the Buli people's disguise technique, but the numbers. At first she thought only a couple of kittens had slipped into the Cloud Cavalry, but now it seemed the count was dozens… even hundreds of times more.

It's like when you find a single cockroach at home, the hidden number of cockroaches is probably already…

Ron leaned on the desk, lifting his face from a book of *Magical Potionology*, and asked, "So what exactly are these Buli people planning? They deliberately waited until the three generals gathered to strike—are they planning to assassinate the three generals? To take them all in one net?"

Hermione shifted her gaze from the ceiling, giving him a look that said "Are you an idiot?", and replied, "Unless a bountiful envoy has emerged among these Buli people, such a feat is impossible—though even if a bountiful envoy appears, when facing three generals, who kills whom is still uncertain."

"They came to Revolving Star Port—are they planning to target the Star Vessels? From what they said, it seems they intend to leave the Celestial Vessel," Harry said. "Combined with the earlier Buli prisoner escape, this group is probably planning to hijack many Star Vessels and flee."

"But… if they want to escape, couldn't they just blend into the tourists with their disguise tech and leave? No one would notice anyway." Hermione still couldn't grasp the Buli people's logic. "Hijacking Star Vessels would just expose them to the Celestial Vessel's firepower, wouldn't it?"

"I told you… it's definitely an assassination of the generals."

"When tomorrow's salute sounds, that's when they will take the Star Vessels and make their move! Think carefully—if you were a general, would you imagine Buli people daring to assassinate generals during the martial ceremony? Even if they can't kill the young, strong, powerful Jing Yuan or Feixiao, as long as they take out the old, frail General Huai Yan, it would be very profitable for the bountiful people!"

"\"Harrzaaxi? Who, who's there?! \""

The cloud knight soldier seemed to notice something, turned sharply, and happened to see Yan Qing and his two companions walking toward them.

Yan Qing's complexion changed with a sudden "swish," and he asked coldly, "Who are you?"

The three disguised Buli people exchanged glances, and the craftsman spoke, "Random inspection. Why are unrelated people roaming Revolving Star Port? Just a few brats."

"Kids, didn't your parents tell you that although Revolving Star Port operates automatically, that doesn't mean you can just stroll in at will?"

San Yue Qi clasped his hands together, quickly forced a smile, and repeatedly apologized, "Ah, sorry, I'll take the brats away right now."

Yan Qing suddenly tugged San Yue Qi's sleeve, trying to produce an 'innocent' voice, shook his hand coquettishly and said, "Sister, sister, let's go quickly; next I'm going to play at Eternal Hunt Plain!"

Yun Li was stunned.

Shock, amazement, confusion, incomprehension… countless emotions flashed across her face.

Her gaze at Yan Qing had never been so unfamiliar, and she even began to doubt whether she truly knew Yan Qing.

That voice—how did he produce it?

——

A certain scientific railgun.

Cough, cough-cough…!

In the dessert shop, Misaka Mikoto, sipping orange soda, let out a violent cough when Yan Qing's sudden movement startled her.

Is this… the sound he's supposed to make?!

She completely understood Yun Li's bewildered expression.

"So cute!" Saten Ruiko couldn't help but clench her fist, letting out a voice like a lecher.

Yan Qing's reaction was pretty quick, but why not seize these people and interrogate them harshly? The Buli people definitely have a big move.

"Yan Qing's reaction is pretty quick, but why not seize these people and interrogate them harshly? The Bu Li people definitely have a big move." Bai Heizi propped his chin, thinking: "Moreover, judging from this posture, I estimate the Bu Li people's informants are already spread throughout Luo Fu up and down; if we don't grab a lead, we can't pull them all out."

"That's a targeted approach," Ruiko raised a finger, "Release them all, then secretly tail them to catch more. But it feels these Buli people would get restless first; being ruthless toward the elderly and children seems to be their basic trait."

——

San Yue Qi stammered, "Eh? Eternal Hunt Plain? Uh… okay, okay. Sister, I'll take you to Eternal Hunt Plain."

The three also took the chance to run far away.

The cloud knight soldier watched their backs, gritting his teeth, "Xuuhaa… you should have let me—"

"Shh, maintenance is over, everything's normal, we should go now."

These Buli people were also extremely cautious, scanning the surroundings, confirming no one was tailing them before splitting up and leaving. Yan Qing, meanwhile, stood on a height, quietly observing them.

Yun Li teased from beside, "Yan Qing little brother, could you repeat what you just said?"

"What words?"

Yun Li mimicked Yan Qing's tone, pouting and winking at him, "Sister, sister, let's go quickly~"
