Chapter 1391: with translation of chapter title

NO. 7: Just like that, case closed! (Mist

As mentioned before, Xi Qianfeng is also a very busy person; otherwise he wouldn't have become part of the combination with Aomo, JunChuan JiangSheng, and Ludaofu Xiangzheng to forge that highly acclaimed delicate program.

It can even be said that the most universally recognized busy member of Central Tressen is Trainer Xi Qianfeng.

Yes, as the chairman's secretary, JunChuan JiangSheng, who is meticulous about every detail, actually does not like to confide in others about the burden he bears.

Moreover, as the student council president of Central Tressen, Ludaofu Xiangzheng constantly has to handle reports from various branch campuses and deal with his own family's business issues, so naturally he would not casually bring up his work content, most of which he tries to keep confidential.

As for Aomo himself, there's no need to elaborate; although his fame has greatly increased these days and his reputation is gradually improving, when it comes to being busy…

The inconspicuous trait of staying up late, combined with his always leisurely manner of speaking, gives people an impression of relaxed ease; thus, even if you have mentioned your recent busyness on variety shows and in interview footage, those hosts and reporters will think you are joking about a lively topic.

Kids, this isn't funny.

These barely-there publicity effects are nothing compared to his gritty teeth-baring display of genuine emotion at the anniversary ceremony.

A few lines of angry-toned singing can make many people on campus reevaluate him.

Nevertheless, even this cannot shake Xi Qianfeng's status in the trainer overtime realm.

He remains the busiest person in the public eye—this is the gold content of the veteran strong team in the trainer publicity project!

If one speaks of Aomo's subordinates, whose scale is astonishing right from his debut, they can be considered the rising force in the speedrun world.

And the similarly sizable force under Xi Qianfeng can be called the banner of the orthodox path.

Step by step, day by day accumulation.

Amid countless interwoven sweat and tears, while gaining honor and increasing the number of companions, Trainer Xi has been advancing step by step toward the hall-of-fame level of the trainer world, thereby becoming the most outstanding senior of the previous version.

Yet he cannot regain the lost 'leisure'.

Today's trainer newcomer regular meeting, which other seniors attend or not without concern, is the most direct proof.

As the host designated by the chairman to attend, Xi Qianfeng can be said to have been firmly kidnapped by the 'title'.

But he has largely grown accustomed to the fact that in any occasion requiring senior attendance, he cannot escape his own share.

From start to finish he showed no sign of annoyance or perfunctory negative emotion; this 'display' memory also made Aomo, when distracted, sigh.

Sighing is no surprise, given that he is the trainer representative launched as a popular idol standard.

That professional curriculum, which he had privately complained about several times as being too strict, has also continued to be effective to this day.

However, the courses used for image management cannot stop behavioral abnormalities.

Spending precious leisure time on trivial matters is also a choice many people make, but that usually applies when creating shared memories with friends and family.

After many years, when one suddenly recalls those boring past events that one still feels nostalgic for, the efficiency of that time usage naturally becomes irrelevant.

That is also one of the few 'time-wasting' ways acceptable to busy people.

However, the path that Xi Qianfeng and that little girl have walked alongside Aomo and Sai Luo is obviously not one of waiting for such an opportunity.

When leaving the meeting room, he had already been speaking vaguely.

Before arriving at the underground hangar, he was even more evasive, chatting about past events that his companions didn't want to hear.

And when leaving the underground hangar, he neither took the opportunity to say goodbye nor intended to expand on the hangar topic; he merely brought up past events again, which made Sai Luo and classmate Weiguang Feiji quite concerned, giving a gossipy feeling as if hearing those two's secret past.

Past events are indeed past events; whatever secrecy there might be is merely a fading agreement.

I assist you in your source energy cultivation, you point out my training history—this contract, which was actually quite effective at the time, gradually loses its existence as time goes on, but the reason is not some scheme to conceal private interests, nor is it a deterioration of the relationship.

It's merely that both of us were simultaneously considering other ways to improve, and indeed we saw results.

During that period, Xi Qianfeng's dwindling problems and improving mental state did not resemble hitting a bottleneck; rather, it seemed like another fortuitous encounter.

At the same time, Aomo himself also added many books and electronic courses to his terminal in the activity room.

Asking for help is an option, but not necessarily the sole solution; despite having made a seemingly formal agreement, the two of them actually adopted an attitude of 'never seeking help from each other unless absolutely necessary'.

In a situation that isn't really a big deal, this mutual stubbornness actually amounts to an unspoken tacit understanding, moreover a virtue, sufficient to show that the two were generally good students liked by teachers during their school days.

But if the matter escalates, that stubbornness—refusing to seek help until after admitting defeat—could become a lack of flexibility, turning something easily solvable into a major issue that cannot be ignored over time.

By then, is there still the ability to resolve it?

If it's a problem with source energy cultivation, Aomo Lindun probably really can't handle it, since he doesn't follow the normal cultivation path; when faced with something others can't solve, he can only outsource layer by layer, using his connections to ask 'I have a friend' style questions.

Regardless of whether he actually has a friend this time, the fact is that Xi Qianfeng hasn't been so blind as to take a problem that even his high-quality connections can't solve and ask a 'heretical cultivator' with only a high school diploma.

But he likewise faces a situation where others cannot make decisions for him, and he can only hope in this young yet experienced friend who shows complete ease and suavity in interpersonal relations.

emmm……Calm?

Suave?

Upon hearing this, Aomo inevitably had a subtle look.

Especially when seeing Sai Luo beside him, hearing the words, crossing his arms, then nodding—an appearance of deep conviction—his demeanor, which in Xi Qianfeng's eyes was originally calm and unhurried, became even more empty.

It's practically like a high monk in a temple, and it can also set at ease the mind of this old Jidong person, Xi Qianfeng.

Yes, as everyone knows, Jidong people do not ask the clergy of their own developed religion about matters.

Whether it's priests or shrine maidens, they are not responsible for clearing up doubts; at most people go to draw lots in a vague manner.

But if it's a religion developed elsewhere…… monks, priests, they focus on consultation, and everyone says whatever they have to say.

"But I am neither a monk nor a priest, and even have half-demon blood, being a demon who would still be discriminated against by human society six hundred years ago."

In private, Xi Qianfeng's courses also selectively go back, allowing Aomo to further demonstrate his ever-improving observational skills, anticipating the other's thoughts from out of the blue, making those two acquaintances unsurprised, yet causing the little girl to look astonished for no reason.

During a normally proceeding conversation, suddenly Trainer Lindun adds an irrelevant sentence, which nevertheless leaves the other party with a satisfied yet strange feeling, as if one had missed hearing something.

"What's wrong with demons? In my impression, demons also like to listen to various human worries, right?" As befitting a trainer who has under him several horse girls with diverse personalities, Xi Qianfeng's view is also extraordinarily free and progressive, "Moreover, he doesn't stint on posture, even great demons and some demon lords are willing to chime in personally."

"And then give an answer that ordinary people find hard to accept."

Aomo calmly summed up, then sighed: "Desiring but unable to obtain, perplexed and unable to comprehend—what they love is the soul pattern revealed by humans in this entanglement."

"When demons talk about inner beauty, they are actually often scrutinizing a soul riddled with holes."

"Is that so?" Xi Qianfeng, hearing this for the first time, said, "My demon friend says they are looking at the splendor of will."

"The light of a soul that has suffered torment yet never been extinguished indeed corresponds to the splendor of will, indicating that your friend's aesthetic is relatively positive, provided they do not deliberately stage a setting for the other."

Many demons in this world still love depravity and cloying desire, pursuing the process of willful decline just as many past legends did.

Really?!

So what are you asking? Could it still have something to do with that demon friend?

There really is!

Xi Qifeng's eyebrows lit up with delight, as if after making such a big detour, it was all just for Aomo to proactively ask that one question.

He then raised his hand, adding another layer of soundproof barrier on top of the one Aomo had already set up, then looked at Sai Luo, then at Weiguang Feiju, and finally turned his gaze back to Aomo.

I actually dated her before.

Aomo: "Oh?"

Sai Luo: "Huh?"

Weiguang Feiju: "Eh?!"

Xi Qifeng: "That was a few years ago, but it doesn't matter; what matters is now."

Aomo: "Does she want to get back together with you?"

Xi Qifeng: "Yes, but that doesn't matter either!"

Weiguang Feiju: "Huh?! That doesn't matter either?!"

Xi Qifeng: "It doesn't matter."

Sai Luo: "Then what is important?"

Xi Qifeng: "What matters is that I discovered she is now a member of a civilian horse‑racing enthusiasts' association—the very association we've been watching; Feiju should remember it."

"?! Could it be that Legendary Light Association!!" Weiguang Feiju suddenly clenched his fists.

"What what?" Sai Luo completely didn't understand.

Meanwhile, Aomo sat up a bit straighter on the sofa, his expression somewhat subtle:

"Chasing the Legendary Light?"

"Yes! That seems to be the name!" The brown‑haired little girl nodded vigorously, "Trainer Lindon actually knows this too?! I heard it's a niche association."

"Niche but quite renowned in its specific field." Aomo said lightly.

Although it was Umastar's contact field, after becoming a trainer there was no need to hide it excessively; he silently picked up his coffee, took a sip, then turned his gaze back to Sai Luo, who had been waiting for his explanation.

"They chase legends on the racetrack, being extreme fans who glorify horse‑girl achievements. For a simple example, just as Miss Rice Bath, taught by Xiao Lu, cuts off other horse‑girls' winning streaks, she will inevitably draw attacks and abuse from some horse‑girl fans, and this group would be the main force behind it, possibly even harassing and attacking in real life."

"Can we call the police?" Sai Luo remarked sensibly, "It doesn't sound like a big deal."

"It's indeed not a big deal, but Miss Weiguang's reaction seems to point in another direction."

"Eh?"

Weiguang Feiju stared blankly, while Xi Qifeng had already lifted his teacup again with a solemn expression.

"That's right, it's one of the hostile organizations the Carrot Knights have been investigating lately, suspected of being linked to recent threats and attacks on horse‑girl athletes."

"It sounds like love turned to hatred." Aomo said wistfully.

"What?"

"His ex‑girlfriend joined the criminal organization targeting horse‑girls."

"Don't jump to conclusions so hastily!"
