Chapter 685

Miss Sushang: "I'm a Cloud Knight too."

Miss Sushang: "Of course I have to be on duty."

Furina: "Is Young Lady Sushang also a Cloud Knight?"

Furina: "Honestly, I really couldn't tell."

Furina: "Mainly because Young Lady Sushang isn't wearing the uniform, so it's hard to recognize."

Stelle: "That's normal, the strong ones don't wear uniforms."

Stelle: "Look at Hearing Yanqing, this Cloud Knight Guard doesn't wear one either."

Miss Sushang: "Ah, well... although, but... I still have some self-awareness!"

Miss Sushang: "What kind of strong one am I?"

Stelle: "Stronger than the average Cloud Knight soldier — doesn't that make you elite?"

Stelle: "You're a powerhouse who can hold out for ages under Hearing Yanqing!"

Stelle: "Worthy of being unmatched below the rank of Guard!"

Hearing Yanqing: "Indeed, I've had the pleasure of experiencing Young Lady Sushang's swordsmanship — very solid and powerful, her strength is no mean feat."

Miss Sushang: "Ah? You all, stop it."

Miss Sushang: "You're making me embarrassed."

Mualani: "It looks like Young Lady Stelle and Young Lady Sushang have a very good relationship."

Stelle: "Of course!"

Stelle: "Me, Sushang, and Xiao Xiao Guizi Huohuo."

Stelle: "The four of us are Luo Fu's most formidable ghost-catching squad!"

Guinaifen: "Hehe, sis, you said it so right!"

Guinaifen: "Once the four of us step out, any demon or monster will get knocked flat!"

Huohuo: "Um... just now Lord Tail said that clearly its contribution was a bit bigger."

Miss Sushang: "Lord Tail?"

Miss Sushang: "Mm, indeed, Lord Tail's contribution cannot be overlooked either!"

Miss Sushang: "Without Lord Tail, catching this ghost really wouldn't have been easy."

Paimon: "Catch... catch ghosts?!"

Paimon: "This is... this is too scary, isn't it?"

Lumine: "Sounds really exciting."

Lumine: "It must be a lot of fun."

March 7th: "Aiya, too bad I didn't take part back then."

March 7th: "Bai Bai missed out on such a great opportunity."

Stelle: "No big deal, when Luo Fu has ghosts again, we'll head out once more!"

The video continues.

Stelle didn't plan to keep bothering Miss Sushang while she was on guard duty,

and after bidding her farewell with a smile, she began heading back.

But along the way, she overheard the conversation of two passersby nearby.

【I am Shehong, an envoy sent by Long Shitao.】

【Lord Long heard that his clansman had been promoted to Siding, and was overjoyed. He originally wanted to come congratulate you in person, but unfortunately his health wouldn't allow it.】

【Therefore today, I was ordered to come, on behalf of my master's house, to pay respects to the newly appointed Siding, my lord Lingsha.】

【I wonder if the Dan Shichang could pass word for me?】

The envoy named Shehong looked expectantly at the Dan Shichang Yuluo opposite him.

【My lord Lingsha has only just arrived at Luo Fu, her life is not yet settled, and her work has not yet been handed over — she truly is busy and has no time to receive guests.】

【Please go back.】

Dan Shichang Yuluo shook her head.

【Then... this modest gift, please pass it on to my lord Lingsha for me.】

Seeing this, Shehong hurriedly took out a generous gift, wanting to hand it to Yuluo.

But she was refused.

【Lord Long's modest gift must be quite valuable.】

【I'm just a small Dan Shichang, I wouldn't dare pass it on. If something went wrong in the middle, I couldn't bear the responsibility.】

Yuluo found a reasonable excuse, leaving Shehong with nothing to say.

【I see.】

【Then when might I be able to see my lord Lingsha?】

After pondering for a while, Shehong asked.

【I don't know either.】

【When my lord Lingsha is free to receive visitors, we will definitely contact your residence first thing. Please go back.】

Yuluo began seeing the guest out.

【Mm... then I'll await good news.】

Stelle: "Is this someone Lord Long sent to cozy up?"

Stelle: "Goodness, this kind of atmosphere really can't be allowed!"

Miss Yunli: "Ha, Sister Lingsha probably long anticipated something like this would happen."

Miss Yunli: "So they must have given this Alchemy Master Captain a heads-up in advance, telling her to just brush it off."

Brother Dan Heng: "Dragon Master... Taoran?"

Brother Dan Heng: "Heh, that's a familiar name."

Brother Dan Heng: "I didn't expect him to still be alive."

March 7th: "What, is he an old acquaintance of yours?"

Brother Dan Heng: "More or less, I suppose."

Brother Dan Heng: "After all, given my former identity, it was inevitable I'd have some connection to the Dragon Master."

Miss Lingsha: "But judging by the current situation—"

Miss Lingsha: "I had only just arrived, and this Elder Taoran was already impatient to invite me over, to win me over."

Miss Lingsha: "I'm afraid his motives aren't pure..."

Brother Dan Heng: "The Dan Ding Division's mess is no small matter, but the Vidyadhara's internal problems are just as numerous."

Brother Dan Heng: "Sigh..."

Brother Dan Heng: "The Vidyadhara's prospects are indeed growing ever more worrying."

Stelle: "Don't lose heart!"

Stelle: "There's always a chance to find a solution."

Miss Lingsha: "Hehe, Miss Stelle speaks true."

Miss Lingsha: "Then I'll take your auspicious words."

The video continued.

After Stelle listened for a while, she didn't pay it much mind,

and returned to the group.

Afterwards, they walked together for a while longer,

and finally arrived near the Dan Ding Division.

【After all these years, the scenery of the Luo Fu Dan Ding Division remains unchanged.】

【The ancient sea is constant, the tides ebb and flow. For us Vidyadhara, there is no homeland more worth cherishing than this.】

Miss Lingsha gazed upon the familiar place,

overcome by a strong sense of emotion stirred by the scene.

【... Is Miss Lingsha a native of Luo Fu?】

Brother Dan Heng, hearing Miss Lingsha's words, asked curiously.

【Yes, I have lived in Luo Fu since childhood, listening to the sound of these waves within the Dan Ding Division while studying alchemy formulas alongside my teachers and peers.】

【Alas, the affairs of the world are fickle, and yet so alike.】
