Chapter 739

Stelle: "Sure enough, it's not just March 7th who suffers practicing the sword — we suffer too!"

Miss Yunli: "Didn't we already meet once at the Alchemy Commission before?"

Miss Yunli: "Why's everyone acting like it's the first time we're meeting?"

General Feixiao: "Haha, that's different."

General Feixiao: "This time it's an official meeting, so naturally we have to be a bit more solemn."

Furina: "General Feixiao, you've come to ask questions now, right?"

Furina: "Why did it take so long?"

Furina: "I thought you'd finished asking ages ago..."

Stelle: "True, the Martial Arts Ceremony is tomorrow — it really is a bit late now."

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "Who knows?"

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "Maybe the General got lazy again, wandering around having fun, and almost forgot about this whole thing?"

General Feixiao: "Nonsense!"

General Feixiao: "Am I that kind of person?"

Diviner Fu Xuan: "That sounds more like something our General would do..."

The video continues.

【Isn't it all just about the matter of the Ambrosial Arbor's rebirth?】

Stelle nodded,

understanding the purpose of their visit.

【Exactly so.】

【Straightforward — I like that.】

【In the report submitted by General Jing Yuan, the culprit behind the Ambrosial Arbor disaster was blamed on the Annihilation Legion, warning that all Celestials should keep an eye on the movements of the Annihilation's Ancestor.】

【Over the years, Destruction's claws have ravaged countless worlds, and the Xianzhoulian Alliance has taken precautions — it just never occurred to them that those lot would actually join hands with Abundance's remnants.】

【The damage caused by this Ambrosial Arbor disaster is far lower than expected — one might call it a stroke of luck amid misfortune.】

【But looking at it from another angle... it also differs greatly from the Annihilation Legion's usual style of poisoning every living thing wherever they go.】

【I naturally trust in the heroic deeds of the Divine Strategy General and the various Nameless, but I can't help being curious about certain details the report failed to elaborate on.】

【Jieciji Society, I hope to have an exchange with the two of you.】

【Let me say this upfront — what I ask may not be what I personally believe.】

【If any of my questions give offense, please don't take it to heart.】

General Feixiao explained a few things to the two of them,

finishing her preparations for the questioning.

【General, please ask freely.】

【It's just that what we can answer is only what we know; and what you ask... perhaps you already have the answer in your heart.】

At General Feixiao's words,

Brother Dan Heng nodded, his expression unchanged.

Silver Wolf: "Interesting — General Feixiao stacks armor too?"

General Feixiao: "What kind of armor-stacking is that?"

General Feixiao: "After all, I'm only stating facts."

General Feixiao: "I came here for this questioning on assignment, so naturally some of the specific questions weren't all drafted by me,"

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "The General can't help herself either — she had to come do this thankless task."

Welt: "Understandable."

Welt: "With the Ambrosial Arbor's rebirth at stake, the Xianzhoulian Alliance can only be cautious."

Stelle: "Pfft, Brother Dan Heng really knows how to talk!"

Stelle: "Now that's the art of conversation!"

Stelle: "I need to learn a thing or two!"

Furina: "Mm, Mr. Dan Heng's words really were quite skillful."

Furina: "Very impressive!"

Hu Tao: "So next is just going through the motions of the questioning?"

Hu Tao: "General Feixiao won't make things hard for people, right?"

General Feixiao: "How could I!"

General Feixiao: "I wouldn't stoop to that sort of thing."

General Feixiao: "Even if there really were any awkward questions, that wouldn't be my intention."

General Feixiao: "Just as I said earlier — what I ask may not be what I believe!"

The video continues.

【Silver-tongued — I like that.】

【Then let the questioning officially begin!】

General Feixiao smiled,

announcing that the questioning could begin.

Seeing this, Stelle and Brother Dan Heng exchanged a glance,

and at the latter's signal,

In the end, Stelle stepped forward and began to debate with Feixiao.

【I'll be blunt: at first, the Astral Express came here guided by the wanted arch-criminal Stellaron Hunters, attempting to resolve the Stellaron crisis.】

【But anyone who walks the galaxy should have heard of the Stellaron Hunters' notorious evil reputation.】

【Why do you nameless guests believe their one-sided story so readily? Is it because someone here is related to them by blood or marriage?】

Stelle: "Huh?"

Stelle: "Dan Heng, didn't you say you were going up earlier?"

Stelle: "How did this job end up falling to me in the end?"

Brother Dan Heng: "Compared to me, you're more eloquent."

Brother Dan Heng: "It's clearly more appropriate for you to go."

Ying: "Goodness, General Feixiao really came at us without holding back."

Ying: "To actually ask such a sharp question."

Paimon: "Uh... do the Stellaron Hunters really have such a bad reputation in the universe?"

Silver Wolf: "Bah, we've just offended too many people, and they deliberately smeared us, that's all."

Silver Wolf: "Not to mention, Sam is described in the universe as barely different from a demon."

Silver Wolf: "He could even stop children from crying at night!"

Furina: "You know what, if I hadn't known that was Young Lady Firefly's ride, I might have been scared too."

Himeko: "The reason the Stellaron Hunters became so famous is also inseparable from the company's hefty bounty on them."

Welt: "But the company's bounty, in truth, wasn't entirely pure in its purpose."

Welt: "I recall that the company's demand regarding the bounty on the Stellaron Hunters was this."

Welt: "The other members' lives or deaths didn't matter, but Elio, who can foresee the future, must not be harmed in the slightest—his ability to prophesy must be preserved intact."

Boothill: "Hahaha, what the hell, that's just how the company is."

Boothill: "Using high-sounding excuses to line their own pockets, that's all."

Aventurine: "You understand, the company's internal affairs are a mixed bag, riddled with contradictions between departments—it's no surprise what kinds of people you find there."

Furina: "In other words, the company's biggest goal in putting a bounty on the Stellaron Hunters is to get their hands on Elio, who can foresee the future?"

Hu Tao: "Tch, that's one well-calculated scheme."

Stelle: "No big deal. Sam's bad reputation—what does that have to do with my Firefly?"

Firefly: "Th-that... uh... there should still be a connection, right?"

Stelle: "No, not at all!"

Silver Wolf: "You really know how to cut ties."

Silver Wolf: "Too bad I don't have another Ma Jia, so I can't do the same for myself."
