Oh No, My Job!
With a loud "bang" echoing across the training ground, Bailu's Starskiff came to a steady stop.
Bailu Lu leaped off the Starskiff in two quick steps, glanced at the Sky-Faring Commission patrol Starskiff still not far away, and sneered, "Hmph, you're way too early to catch me on the train!"
"Back in the day, I drove... wait, when did I ever drive Starskiff?"
Hearing Bailu's words, Bai Luoming felt a little embarrassed. He shakily stepped off the Starskiff, feeling that even the oppression he had endured at the Herta hadn't made his legs weak. He complained to Bailu, "So you've never driven Starskiff before?! You dared to drag us onto this road?"
Bailu looked at Bai Luoming's expression, chuckled, and said with some regret, "Sigh, doesn't this just prove that I have extraordinary talent? It's a pity that the road is so short; I wanted to drive a little longer."
"No way, if you keep going, I'm afraid I'll throw up inside the Starskiff."
"That's because you're bad at it. This is nothing. It doesn't feel fast at all."
"What?! You... Holy crap! You've got incredible luck!"
Just as Bai Luoming was about to refute Bailu, he saw a Starskiff heading straight towards him.
Bai Luoming's face turned pale, and he hurriedly dodged to the side. But as soon as he dodged, the Starskiff seemed to have eyes, changing direction slightly and continuing to crash into him.
Seeing this, Bai Luoming decisively activated his Preservation power, and a thin golden light appeared in front of him, protecting his entire body.
However, just as he was about to confront the Starskiff head-on, Starskiff came to a steady stop less than an arm's length away from him.
Two Foxian dressed in Sky-Faring Commission employee uniforms emerged from the Starskiff. One of them, while walking, scolded the other, "Go check this out! If you bump into someone, we'll both be in big trouble!"
After saying that, the two of them quickly rushed towards Bai Luoming's direction, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Bai Luoming had not been hit.
Then, Employee B bowed to Bai Luoming and sincerely apologized, "I'm sorry, I almost bumped into you just now."
After saying that, Employee B patted Employee A on the shoulder and pulled him to bow again.
That was close! They were going at full speed to catch up with the Starskiff, and they only managed to catch it when it slowed down and stopped.
However, just as they were preparing to slow down, Bai Luoming happened to walk out of their designated position. What's worse, as soon as they adjusted their position slightly, Bai Luoming jumped towards their new position. Fortunately, they braked in time, otherwise their job security might have been in jeopardy.
Seeing their apologetic expressions, Bai Luoming felt a surge of anger and said to them, "Come on, you didn't just almost, you almost sent me to another world!"
Upon hearing this, the two bowed deeply to Bai Luoming again, apologizing, "We are so sorry, we weren't paying attention to our speed just now, it was our fault!"
Seeing their sincere apologies, Bai Luoming's anger subsided considerably. He said, "Be more careful next time. It's lucky you ran into me. What if you bumped into someone else? Even if you bumped into some flowers or plants, that wouldn't be good either."
"Yes, yes, you're absolutely right. We'll definitely pay attention next time."
"Alright, fine. By the way, what are you people from Sky-Faring Commission doing here? And driving so fast."
Hearing Bai Luoming's words, the two realized their purpose, straightened up, and said seriously to Bai Luoming, "We saw you speeding excessively just now, and we came to confirm the situation."
Upon hearing this, Bai Luoming turned to look at Bailu, who was Bailu beside the Starskiff, peeking out with her head slightly, while the dog furtively observed them.
Seeing Bai Lu 'Bailu appearance, Bai Luoming sighed softly, and was about to bring up his relationship with Sky-Faring Commission to explain to the two of them:
"Well, here's how it is..."
Before he could finish speaking, Jingliu opened the car door beside him and slowly stepped out of the Starskiff.
As soon as Jingliu got out of the car, he took out a token-like object, waved it at the two of them, and said coldly, "This is official business of the Seat of Divine Foresight, and has nothing to do with you!"
Actually, the two of them started to regret their actions when they saw that the Starskiff had landed at the martial arts arena. After all, most of the people who could come to this arena were not ordinary people, otherwise they wouldn't have apologized so much for almost bumping into Bai Luoming.
Even now, seeing Jingliu take out the Seat of Divine Foresight's token, his regret deepened.
"Are you kidding me? This is the Seat of Divine Foresight! They're just lowly employees of the Sky-Faring Commission. If they go head-to-head with the Seat of Divine Foresight, what about their jobs? What about their official positions?"
Besides, anyone who has this kind of token, even if they're speeding, must have something important to do. In that case, speeding is understandable.
Thinking of this, the two exchanged a glance, then swiftly slid to their knees before Jingliu, saying, "We're sorry, we were presumptuous; we shouldn't have checked your car."
Upon hearing this, Jingliu nodded in satisfaction and gave the two of them a cold snort.
Seeing this, the two immediately boarded the Starskiff and headed out of the training ground without looking back.
Seeing the two leave tactfully, Jingliu finally dropped his icy expression and said gently to Bai Luoming, "Are you alright?"
It's no wonder Jingliu's expression was so ugly. Back when the Starskiff almost collided with Bai Luoming, Jingliu had already lost his temper and planned to shatter it directly.
Fortunately, Jingliu managed to control his emotions, otherwise those two might not have been able to leave unscathed.
Hearing Jingliu's concern, Bai Luoming remained calm and joked with Jingliu, "What could possibly happen to me? They didn't run into us yet, and even if they did, I wouldn't be hurt."
Hearing Bai Luoming's words, Jingliu let out a deep breath, looked at Bai Luoming, and said earnestly, "Phew~ It's good that you're alright."
Hearing the deep concern in Jingliu's tone, Bai Luoming became curious. He wondered what Jingliu would do if something happened to him.
"What would you do if something happened to me?"
Upon hearing this, Jingliu frowned, as if pondering Bai Luoming's words.
However, after a long time, nothing came of it. Just when Bai Luoming thought that this matter would not be resolved, Jingliu's body shone with a cold light, and the black veil covering her eyes slipped to the ground, revealing her deep red eyes.
She looked at Bai Luoming and said earnestly, word by word, "If anything happens to you, I'll make them regret ever being born!"
Bai Luoming looked at Jingliu, who seemed to be suffering from Mara-Struck, took two steps back, and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "It's not that bad, it's not that bad, don't get agitated!"
Jingliu watched Bai Luoming take two steps back, his eyes dimmed for a moment, and the aura emanating from his body dissipated.
Just then, Bailu approached from the other side of the Starskiff, looked at the two of them seriously, and said, "It seems we're in trouble..."
Upon hearing Bailu's words, Bai Luoming and Jingliu looked in the direction Bailu pointed. Not far away, a Cloud Knights Lieutenant, with a respectable appearance, was approaching them with a small notebook in his hand.
Soon, the captain arrived at their side, holding a small notebook. He was about to ask Bai Luoming and his group about their purpose in coming here, since not just anyone could come to the martial arts arena.
However, when he walked around the Starskiff and saw the person standing to the side, he trembled and quickly gave Jingliu a Cloud Knights, saying earnestly, "Sword Champion Master!"
After saluting, the Cloud Knights Lieutenant asked Jingliu Liu, "May I ask what brings you here Sword Champion Master?"
Jingliu glanced at the captain and said in a cold voice, "I've come to borrow the training ground."
The captain glanced at Jingliu, then at Bai Luoming who was rubbing his hands together eagerly beside him. Seemingly understanding something, his eyes lit up, and he asked Jingliu, "Sword Champion Master, what do you intend to do...?"
"That's right, I'll have a friendly spar with him."
Upon receiving a definite answer, the captain's face lit up with immense joy. He tentatively said to Jingliu, "Sword Champion, it's perfectly fine to borrow the training ground. However, I wonder if the new recruits could witness the battle between the two of you? It would be a good opportunity for them to see the Sword Champion's prowess."
Upon hearing this, Jingliu's red eyes flickered as she looked at Bai Luoming, seeking his opinion.
Bai Luoming looked at Jingliu and hesitated for a moment before speaking to the captain, "Of course, no problem. But if I lose, don't tell anyone!"
Although that's what he said, his expression was full of confidence, as if he had already won.
Will the cricket, Luofu Sword Champion, win? Yes, he will!
Upon hearing this, the captain's face showed even greater excitement, but his gaze remained fixed on Jingliu, seeking her opinion.
Jingliu was somewhat helpless, but he still nodded and said to the captain, "His opinion is my opinion."
Having received Jingliu's permission, the captain happily went to assemble the Cloud Knights.
Seeing the captain leave, Bai Luoming looked at Jingliu, and Jingliu also looked at Bai Luoming. Their eyes met briefly, but Bai Luoming lost again and looked away.
Seeing this, Jingliu looked at Bai Luoming with some dissatisfaction. If it weren't for the fact that her relationship with Bai Luoming was not yet clear, she would have pressed his head down the moment he looked away, making him look at her properly.
