Chapter 670: Huh? Where's That Barking Coming From? Oh, So It's You, Scott! (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!)

【Thinking it over, I've heard that among those who came this time aboard the Zhu Ming envoy ship, there was also a Dan Master, said to be taking up the post of the new Si Ding of the Luo Fu Dan Ding Division.】

Hearing Yanqing suddenly recalled something and said to the crowd.

【Someone sent by Zhu Ming, serving as Si Ding of Luo Fu?】

【There is precedent, but the timing...】

Brother Dan Heng started to speak, then held back.

【Only after hearing Mr. Dan Heng's words did Hearing Yanqing sense the undercurrents stirring behind this.】

【The General is bearing tremendous pressure right now.】

【Yet I was completely unaware of the General's troubles... how childish of me!】

March 7th: "Huh?"

March 7th: "This new Si Ding of the Dan Ding Division—could it possibly be??"

Stelle: "No doubt about it, it has to be Miss Lingsha."

Stelle: "Good grief, I thought she was just an ordinary physician assisting Bai Lu."

Stelle: "Didn't expect she was actually parachuted in as Si Ding!"

Stelle: "That's no small matter!"

Lingsha: "Young Lady Stelle is too kind."

Lingsha: "It's nothing remarkable."

Lingsha: "I am merely an ordinary physician who happens to bear the title of Si Ding."

March 7th: "Come to think of it, I never heard anything about the Dan Ding Division having a Si Ding before—I thought the position didn't even exist."

Diviner Fu Xuan: "It does exist; it's simply been vacant all this time."

Diviner Fu Xuan: "The Alliance has personally appointed a Si Ding this time, so the Dan Ding Division should finally be able to turn things around."

Brother Dan Heng: "The Luo Fu Dan Ding Division is a mess riddled with holes; setting it right won't be easy."

Lingsha: "I am well aware, but no matter what, I shall do my utmost to try!"

Lingsha: "For no other reason than to give my mentor an answer!"

The video continues.

【Don't think that way! Matters for adults should be worried about by adults in the first place.】

【Besides, what could you do for your General right now?】

March 7th tried to talk Hearing Yanqing out of it. Though what she said was rather hard to hear.

【....】

Hearing Yanqing fell silent at her words.

【Ugh, did I say something wrong again?】

Stelle: "Hahaha, March, you really are a little clever-clogs."

Stelle: "Is that any way to counsel someone?"

March 7th: "Ah, this... I just didn't think it through in time, okay?"

March 7th: "But my intention was just to tell Hearing Yanqing not to overthink it!"

Hu Tao: "Rough words, but not wrong."

Hu Tao: "What she said isn't entirely off the mark."

Hu Tao: "I trust young Hearing Yanqing can grasp the meaning behind it."

Furina: "Young Hearing Yanqing is already outstanding enough."

Furina: "Other children his age are probably still running around wild every day."

Silver Wolf: "Take my advice—kids should do what kids are supposed to do."

Silver Wolf: "Don't put so much pressure and expectation on yourself."

Silver Wolf: "After all, no matter how hard you try now, you can't possibly reach the level of an Alliance General right away."

Silver Wolf: "Ease up a little; be kind to yourself."

Firefly: "Silver Wolf, you actually say such sensible things?"

Silver Wolf: "What? Was I very childish before?"

Firefly: "Not really."

Stelle: "Silver Wolf really does make a lot of sense."

Stelle: "Being wound this tight will only backfire."

Stelle: "Hearing Yanqing, you should relax a bit."

Hearing Yanqing: "Relax?"

Hearing Yanqing: "Mm, I've received your advice, Teacher."

Hearing Yanqing: "I'll give it serious consideration."

Boothill: "Tsk tsk, still a kid and already this competitive!"

Boothill: "What the Wubbaboo—does he even leave anyone else a way to live?"

Boothill: "Kid, when it's time to let loose, let loose!"

Boothill: "There's no end to this rat race!!"

The video continues.

【When it comes to talking, I still have to hand it to you!】

Stelle stood with hands on hips and complained to March 7th.

【Miss March is right—Hearing Yanqing's abilities are meager, and right now he still can't share the General's burdens.】

【... But I can do my best to carry out every task the General assigns me.】

【Let's go. Once I've arranged lodging for the three of you, I still need to head to the Engineering Department to deal with a complaint from the company.】

Hearing Yanqing faltered for a moment, then rallied his spirits once more.

【Look at him, so burdened with heavy thoughts—I'm honestly a little worried.... Let's go with you to the Engineering Department!】

March 7th suggested.

【That's... not quite proper, is it?】

【I'm grateful the three of you are willing to help, but company employees are especially difficult to deal with... I'm afraid it would only bring trouble upon the train....】

Stelle: "I admit, company employees are very difficult to deal with."

Stelle: "But I'm a professional!"

Stelle: "Take me along, and I guarantee I'll smooth over those tiny company employees with no trouble at all."

Paimon: "When Miss Stelle says 'smooth over,' does she mean whipping out the bat and whacking them hard?"

Stelle: "No, no, that's the very last resort."

Stelle: "It's reserved for those who refuse to listen to reason."

Stelle: "For normal people, I've always used the strategy of convincing them with reason first."

Hearing Yanqing: "The problem is, most of the company's employees are pretty overbearing and unreasonable, aren't they?"

Stelle: "Then don't blame me for convincing them with force!"

The video continued.

【Don't worry!】

【When it comes to dealing with company people, our train crew has plenty of experience!】

【You've heard of the Stoneheart Ten, right?】
