Busy, Everyone's Busy. It's Good to Be Busy

Bai Luoming stared at Dan Feng with an unusually firm expression. Dan Feng stared at his face, then lowered his head, picked up a piece of pastry, took a small bite, and then spoke to him:

"I'm sorry, but the information you provided is very important. It concerns the lives of millions of Cloud Knights, so I must treat it with utmost care. I have no intention of targeting you."

"I understand. It would be abnormal if you believed me so easily."

As Bai Luoming spoke, he picked up a bowl, scooped out half a bowl of clear soup, brought it to his lips, and sipped it slowly.

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased somewhat, Baiheng stood up to smooth things over. She placed a piece of pastry on each of their plates, then picked one up for herself and said:

"Oh dear, Dan Feng, don't be so serious. He's still our junior, after all."

After Baiheng finished speaking, he continued to Bai Luoming, "Xiao Bai, don't mind him. That's just how Dan Feng talks. Besides, the information you provided is indeed very important and needs to be taken seriously. I hope you can understand."

Dan Feng didn't respond to Baiheng's words. Instead, she put down the pastries in her hand, looked up at Bai Luoming, and spoke earnestly.

"I will convey your words to General Teng Xiao. As for whether he believes you, or how he verifies them, that is his business."

"I understand, but I wasn't lying; the Shuhu Rebellion has indeed had a significant impact on the alliance."

Bai Luoming met Dan Feng's gaze, his sincerity evident in his eyes.

Dan Feng remained silent for a moment, then turned his head away from Bai Luoming and said calmly, "If your information is true, I will petition the general to apply for a reward for you."

"Haha, that won't be necessary. I might go back anytime, so rewards won't be of much use."

"Hey, Xiao Bai, you don't understand. As long as your information is true, the Alliance will definitely reward you."

"Besides, if you really don't have a chance to take it, your sister Baiheng will keep it for you, and you can ask me for it later."

Although Baiheng said that, Bai Luoming understood that her words implied that Bai Luoming's information was true.

Moreover, if he really goes back the next second, even if there is a reward, he might not be able to get it from Baiheng.

Thinking of this, Bai Luoming was silent for a moment, then looked up at Baiheng with a big smile and said earnestly, "Then I thank you very much, Sister Baiheng. But I probably won't leave yet; I have some very important things to do."

"Could you tell me what it is? Maybe I can help you."

Baiheng looked curious, his eyes blinking as he stared at Bai Luoming.

Bai Luoming looked at Baiheng with a hesitant expression, then his gaze swept over everyone, met their eyes, and he spoke softly.

"That won't be necessary. Only I can do this; no one else can."

"Alright." Baiheng pouted and stopped asking Bai Luoming questions, focusing instead on the food in front of him.

Looking at Bai Baiheng, Bai Luoming lost his appetite and wiped his mouth before turning to gaze at the distant Starskiff Haven.

As night approaches, the lights of Starskiff Haven, creating a beautiful scene resembling the starry sky of the universe.

Starskiff came and went, like streaks of light, becoming shooting stars against the backdrop of the starry sky.

Bai Luoming watched the Starskiff's trajectory, wondering why Baiheng didn't exist in the future timeline if he had truly saved Baiheng.

If that's all there is to it, can he really save Baiheng? Or rather, change the fate of the High-Cloud Quintet?

Just as Bai Luoming was lost in thought, someone suddenly patted his shoulder. He snapped out of his reverie and turned to look behind him.

Baiheng came into view, tilting her head and smiling sweetly at Bai Luoming.

"What are you looking at so intently?"

"I didn't see anything special, just some reflections."

"Why are you thinking so much at such a young age? Even your master, who is so old, isn't this melancholic."

"..."

Hearing Baiheng's words, Bai Luoming subconsciously turned his head to look at Jingliu, but Jingliu remained seated and did not make any move, clearly not taking Baiheng's words to heart.

"Have you finished eating?"

"Yes, if you don't come to your senses soon, we're leaving. You'll be left here to pay the bill alone, and if you don't have any money, you might have to wash dishes to pay it off."

"No, Sister Baiheng!"

Seeing the terrified look on Bai Luoming's face, Baiheng smiled faintly, gently patted Bai Luoming's shoulder, and said seriously, "Then listen to your sister Baiheng and don't overthink it."

"Alright, that's enough playing, it's time to pay the bill and go."

Dan Feng didn't tolerate Baiheng. Standing at the door, he looked at Baiheng said coldly.

"Also, don't always tease others; you don't know their background."

"Oh dear, High Elder is so serious. Alright, alright, we're coming right now."

Baiheng glanced at Dan Feng, pursed his lips, and retorted a few words to him in an annoyed manner before turning to look at Bai Luoming with a serious expression.

"Don't take Dan Feng's words to heart. He's all bark and no bite; he's never one to mince words, but he's actually very kind-hearted."

"It's alright, it's a blessing to have someone like that as a partner."

Bai Luoming watched Dan Feng's retreating figure, a hint of reminiscence appearing in his expression, but he quickly concealed it.

Baiheng had been paying close attention to his expression and naturally noticed the change, but she didn't say anything and just kept it in her heart.

"Sister Baiheng, are you done yet? Master has already paid the bill."

Jing Yuan's voice could be heard from afar, urging Baiheng on.

"Okay, I'm coming!"

Baiheng responded, and without further hesitation, grabbed Bai Luoming's hand and headed towards where the others were.

Bai Luoming looked at Baiheng holding his hand, struggled slightly, but couldn't break free. Helpless, he spoke to Baiheng.

"Sister Baiheng, things don't seem that bad..."

"Of course it's that bad. You're new here. What if you get lost? You might not be able to find anyone."

"All right..."

Seeing that he couldn't break free, Bai Luoming followed Baiheng.

After walking a few steps, Baiheng led Bai Luoming to catch up with the group of people who had been waiting in the distance.

"Hey guys, you're all waiting?"

Baiheng wasn't embarrassed about being late. He let go of Bai Luoming's hand and waved to them.

"If you had any sense of time, we wouldn't have had to wait this long."

Dan Feng glanced at Baiheng and said irritably.

Baiheng ignored Dan Feng and looked at everyone, changing the subject seriously, "So what do we do next? Should we go for a walk?"

"I'm busy, I need to give Teng Xiao some information about this kid."

"I don't have time either, I'm practicing martial arts with my master."

"That's right, this kid's been a bit lax lately. I was planning to have him do extra training later."

"I need to go back to the Artisanship Commission; I still have things to take care of."

Hearing everyone's answers, Baiheng pursed his lips, turned his gaze to Bai Luoming, and said with some helplessness, "Busy, everyone's busy. It seems only Xiao Bai can keep me company."

"No, he has to come with me to meet Teng Xiao."

Dan Feng's expression was serious, and his tone left no room for argument.

"Oh, it's fine whenever you go, just don't scare them."

Baiheng chuckled and brushed off Dan Feng's words.

"You!... Never mind."

Dan Feng pointed at Baiheng, and after a long while, he finally gave in.

"That's more like it. If anything happens, I can just take him there."

After saying that, Baiheng excitedly turned to Bai Luoming and said, "Let's go, Xiao Bai, I'll show you around Luofu now."
