Chapter 115

He was a scholar from Sumeru after all; he didn't want Khedive Purshina to come into contact with Lin Mo and Yelan now just because he was afraid of disturbing their rest.

When evening came, he would just tell Lin Mo and Yelan about it.

"Phew."

Seeing Mu Ning suddenly nod and say it was okay, Khedive Purshina felt relieved in his heart.

It seemed that unlike what he thought, this commissioner of the Liyue Ministry of Civil Affairs didn't want him to disturb the two of them now.

But when the two of them had time, it would be okay.

Thinking of this, Khedive Purshina narrowed his eyes; he still had to inquire about where Lin Mo's residence was.

Then pay a visit in person.

While Khedive Purshina was thinking this, Mu Ning had already left.

He still had many things to do next.

Notifying the miners and others to enter the camp below The Chasm, and also dispatching the Millelith to clear the way—it was still very busy.

And Khedive Purshina quickly went to investigate Lin Mo's residence.

As for Zhi Qiong, she headed straight for the Ministry of Civil Affairs office stationed in The Chasm to find Lin Mo and Yelan and thank Lin Mo for his life-saving grace.

"Looking for Lin Mo?"

When Yelan in the office saw Zhi Qiong arrive, she looked surprised: "Life-saving grace?"

Almost instantly, Yelan thought of the situation when Zhi Qiong was following them.

If there was really any life-saving grace to speak of, it certainly wouldn't be those monsters or anything.

Instantly, Yelan thought of the situation on Zhi Qiong's body.

Recalling the situation Zhi Qiong mentioned before, that black sludge, Yelan understood.

She understood Zhi Qiong's words.

"Lin Mo's residence is at..."

Immediately, Yelan briefly mentioned Lin Mo's residence.

Zhi Qiong was full of excitement as she listened, and without the slightest hesitation, she ran over decisively.

"Knock, knock, knock, knock."

When they arrived at the destination, Zhi Qiong knocked on the door gently, and while knocking, she said softly: “Brother Lin Mo, are you there?”

The response to Zhi Qiong was silence.

For a moment, Zhi Qiong scratched her head.

Was Lin Mo asleep?

Thinking of what Yelan had just told her, she thought for a moment and decided not to disturb him.

Let’s wait for Lin Mo to wake up.

And at this time, Lin Mo had already returned to the Luofu, to his own residence.

As soon as he returned to the Luofu, his phone vibrated and made sounds continuously.

Lin Mo took a look; most of them were messages sent by Bai Lu.

[Bai Lu]: “Lin Mo, Lin Mo, I discovered a major event!!!”

[Bai Lu]: “Reply quickly!!”

Looking at the message sent by Bai Lu, Lin Mo rubbed his brow and replied: “Dragon Lady Bai Lu, please speak.”

“Ding-dong.”

Just as Lin Mo sent the message, his phone vibrated.

It was indeed Bai Lu’s response.

Seeing this, Lin Mo shook his head; Bai Lu’s little hands were truly fast.

[Bai Lu]: “I just found out that Qiongshi Bird meat is vegetarian!”

[Bai Lu]: “It’s vegetarian!”

[Lin Mo]: “What is Qiongshi Bird meat?”

[Bai Lu]: “I thought it was meat skewers made from Qiongshi Birds.”

[Bai Lu]: “Turns out, it’s just fruit skewers called Qiongshi Bird.”

[Bai Lu]: “So I can eat it in big mouthfuls now, I can eat it without worry.”

[Bai Lu]: “Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga.”

Through the message sent by Bai Lu, even though Bai Lu didn’t send an emoji, Lin Mo could see how happy Bai Lu was inside.

However, after thinking about it, Lin Mo typed a reply: “By the way, why are you so obsessed with this?”

It was just a meat skewer; he hadn’t seen Bai Lu eat less, so how was this a major event?

[Bai Lu]: “Because although I like eating sugar, meat absolutely cannot be sweet.”

[Bai Lu]: “So before, when I saw those Qiongshi Bird skewers, no matter how golden the syrup coating was, I didn’t dare to get close to it.”

[Bai Lu]: “But it’s different now!”

[Bai Lu]: “Looking at that fresh, red, and dripping appearance.”

[Bai Lu]: “No, the more I talk, the hungrier I get. Are you free? Can you help me buy a few Qiongshi Bird skewers and send them to me at the Alchemy Commission?”

[Lin Mo]: “...That might be a bit difficult.”

Seeing the message sent by Bai Lu, Lin Mo’s mouth twitched slightly.

Just going to the Alchemy Commission to find Bai Lu, the round trip would take more than an hour.

Not to mention that the Luofu was under martial law now, and star skiff flights in the sky were definitely strictly restricted, requiring queuing and waiting.

It wouldn’t be done in two hours.

[Bai Lu]: “Is that so... Disappointed.jpg.”

[Bai Lu]: “Looks like I can only let my maid go buy it.”

Seeing Lin Mo’s reply, Bai Lu sighed and responded, seemingly very disappointed.

Lin Mo: “.....”

Seeing that Bai Lu could let her maid go buy it, Lin Mo rubbed his brow; he didn’t need to buy it himself either.

“Ding-dong, ding-dong.”

At this moment, Yanqing suddenly sent a message, and there was even a vibration.

Lin Mo just remembered that he had been busy replying to Bai Lu’s message and hadn’t replied to Yanqing’s.

[Yanqing]: “Lin Mo, are you free now? I’ve decided to carry out a secret mission and decided to pull you in.”

[Yanqing]: “Please reply when you see this. Time waits for no one. As long as this mission is completed, I guarantee you’ll get a promotion.”

Seeing the message sent by Yanqing, Lin Mo’s expression was surprised.

Yanqing wanted him to carry out a secret mission? What mission?

For a moment, Lin Mo was curious.

While curious, he also immediately typed a reply: “What mission? I do have some time now.”

“Ding-dong!”

Just as Lin Mo finished sending the message, Yanqing’s reply was delivered immediately.

[Yanqing]: “That’s great, you finally replied to me. It’s to hunt down a wanted criminal.”

[Yanqing]: “Do you have time? If you have time, I’ll set off now. Originally, I thought about waiting to collect more intelligence, but I feel time waits for no one.”

[Yanqing]: “I also wanted to ask if you were free to hunt down this wanted criminal together. Your contribution will definitely be great then.”

Looking at the messages sent by Yanqing one after another, Lin Mo’s expression turned strange.

The wanted criminal Yanqing was tracking, wouldn’t it be that Blade?

If he remembered correctly, in the process of hunting him down, Yanqing also met that Luofu Sword Champion, Jingliu.

“According to the situation, the plot originally hadn’t developed to this point, but now it seems it should have been advanced.”

“Blade might have just escaped not long ago, while in the original plot, he had escaped for a period of time, and it wasn’t until the Astral Express crew arrived that it got on the right track.”

“The reason he hasn’t been caught now is because Kafka is following Elio’s path, and now is not the time to be exposed.”

“Yanqing’s hunt this time won’t have any gains, at least not catching this Blade.”

“Blade should be with Kafka now.”

“However, this time is an opportunity to come into contact with Jingliu.”

Lin Mo tapped his fingers on the table, recalling the intelligence he knew.

Yanqing’s action this time, logically speaking, shouldn’t be this fast.

Was it because he advanced it?

Yanqing even wanted to pull him in.

And this tracking wouldn’t find Blade.

With the ability of the Stellaron Hunters, if they didn’t want to be exposed, they wouldn’t be easy to find.

Unless that Diviner Fu from the Divination Commission made a move.

The subsequent events were Kafka exposing herself voluntarily.

However, being able to meet Jingliu this time, Lin Mo felt it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Jingliu, one of the legendary “High-Cloud Quintet,” known by the title “Transcendent Flash.”

Jingliu was born on the Xianzhou “Cangcheng.”

When she was young, Cangcheng was swallowed by the living star “Rahu.” Having escaped death, she joined the Cloud Knights, refined her sword skills, and eventually became the Luofu Sword Champion.

Later, she was listed as one of the “High-Cloud Quintet” along with Jing Yuan, Yingxing, Dan Feng, and Bai Heng, becoming a great hero of the Xianzhou. According to war documents, she had slain the Wingweavers’ feather guards, the Borisin’s father-wolves, and mountain-high beast weapons.

During the Shuhu Rebellion, the High-Cloud Quintet, including Jingliu, fought against the Abundance Emanator “Shuhu” but were defeated. In a critical moment, Bai Heng perished with Shuhu to save Imbibitor Lunae and Jingliu.

In Star Calendar 7379, Imbibitor Lunae and Yingxing attempted to resurrect Bai Heng using the modified Dragon-Transformation Art, but created a monstrous dragon. Jingliu endured immense pain and slew it. After the Imbibitor Lunae Rebellion, Jingliu found Yingxing, who had been transformed into a long-lived species, and repeatedly killed him in the name of “teaching sword skills,” and also abandoned the Shili Sword that Yingxing had crafted for her.

In Star Calendar 7380, Jingliu fell into Mara-Struck. Jing Yuan painfully led the Cloud Knights to crusade against the Mara-Struck Jingliu at the Starskiff Haven, defeating Jingliu with the Divine Lord and ending the disaster. After this battle, Jingliu disappeared and was once thought to be dead.

Since then, the Luofu Sword Champion position has remained vacant; no one has been able to inherit this title since Jingliu.

This person is very likely to have appeared on the Luofu now.

Jingliu appearing on the Luofu, the opportunity for her to show herself is not much.

This time, hunting down that Stellaron Hunter wanted criminal with Yanqing, he will meet Jingliu.

Jingliu must have learned some situation on the Luofu before taking the initiative to find Yanqing, and finally showed Yanqing a sword technique.

If he follows Yanqing in this action, then he will definitely be able to see Jingliu’s panel!
