Jing Yuan's Misery

Baiheng, being watched by Jingliu, immediately released Bai Luoming's collar, momentarily at a loss for what to do.

"Nothing much. By the way, Jingliu Liu, why are you here so early?"

"It's nothing, I just received a request for help from someone."

Although Jingliu spoke to Baiheng, his gaze was fixed on Bai Luoming, indicating that the request for help had been sent to Jingliu Bai Luoming.

Bai Luoming had actually sent a message to Jingliu on a whim, but to his surprise, even though the time was so much earlier, Jingliu's communication account remained unchanged.

Looking into Jingliu's eyes, Baiheng immediately understood that this guy had conspired with Jingliu from the very beginning. No wonder her reason didn't work.

But now not only was Jingliu there, but the Helmsman of the Sky-Faring Commission was also there, so she couldn't make a scene. She could only turn her head to look at Bai Luoming and glare at him angrily.

Helmsman glanced at the two men in the cell, a hint of inquiry flashing in his eyes, but out of Jingliu, he didn't say anything more. He simply nodded to Baiheng and said, "Alright, Sword Champion Master has come to protect you. You can leave now."

"Yay!"

Upon hearing this, Baiheng cheered, but her joy didn't last long before the Helmsman of the Sky-Faring Commission continued, "Leaving aside that young friend for now, as for you, Baiheng..."

Based on your recent behavior, I think your driver's license needs to be re-certified.

"That means your driver's license has been revoked!"

"Hey!! Hey, Helmsman! My driver's license!"

Baiheng's joyful expression was still on his face, but his tone was full of undisguised grief and indignation.

"Alright, stop making a fool of yourself here, let's go."

Jingliu looked at the two lively characters in front of him with a helpless expression, sighed, and spoke to Baiheng and Bai Luoming.

"Let's go, Sister Baiheng. Do you really think you can spend the night in this jail cell just because you lost your driver's license?"

As Bai Luoming spoke, he grabbed Baiheng's hand and dragged him out of the cell.

Baiheng's face was ashen as she was mechanically dragged outside by Bai Luoming. After so many years of dominating Luofu, she was finally experiencing her Waterloo.

Goodbye, my driver's license; goodbye, my Starskiff; goodbye...

The three of them left the Sky-Faring Commission. Bai Luoming looked at the dazed Baiheng in his hand, sighed, and said to Jingliu Liu, "Master, what should we do with her?"

"Sigh, what else can we do but send her back? The Helmsman of the Sky-Faring Commission's move was really too ruthless."

"That's right, how could such a good girl suddenly become so foolish?"

"Who are you calling a fool? I'm very smart."

As Baiheng listened to Bai Luoming and Jingliu's conversation, he seemed to notice some key words, regained his senses, and suddenly looked up, glaring at the two of them.

"That's good. Your things are still at the Sky-Faring Commission. Go and collect them yourself."

Bai Luoming looked at Baiheng and released the hand that had been holding hers.

"Huh? You didn't help me carry them? What are you going to help me with? All my things are with me, I don't know where they put them."

"You!"

Baiheng glared at Bai Luoming, then finally sighed deeply, ignored the two of them, and strode towards the Sky-Faring Commission.

Jingliu looked at Baiheng like this, and the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a faint smile, like a snow lotus blooming on the plateau.

However, the smile only lasted for a short moment before Jingliu quickly suppressed it and turned his gaze back to Bai Luoming.

"Alright, disciple, let's go back first. You can stay at my place for now."

Bai Luoming had no objection to his own residence, but he was somewhat puzzled that Jingliu was leaving now.

"Are you leaving already? Aren't you going to wait for Sister Baiheng?"

"She's not really stupid; she knows to go back on her own."

"Okay, fine."

After Bai Luoming finished speaking, he followed Jingliu slowly toward her courtyard.

The two quickly passed the Sky-Faring Commission and disappeared around the street corner in the blink of an eye.

Only then did Baiheng emerge from the Sky-Faring Commission with her belongings. She looked around, but there was no sign of Jingliu or Bai Luoming.

"Honestly, they left without even waiting for me."

Baiheng muttered, clearly this wasn't the first time. In her Remembrance, every time Jingliu pulled her out of the Sky-Faring Commission, he would leave after saying only a few words, as if standing with her in front of the Sky-Faring Commission was a shameful thing.

She didn't care where Jingliu went, and happily headed towards Aurum Alley with the Jade Abacus in her hand. She had really worked hard today, and she was going to treat herself properly.

What? You say you didn't have any money? He picked up the Jade Abacus, shook his head, and opened his mouth—and there it was!

Anyway, her salary is high, so she can still pay back this amount of money.

Meanwhile, Bai Luoming followed Jingliu back to her courtyard. Now, Luofu was completely shrouded in night, and the sky was dark and gloomy, like ink spreading out.

Even though the night was so dark, the sound of someone constantly chopping down wooden stakes could still be heard inside the courtyard.

Bai Luoming stood outside the door, looking at Jingliu with a curious expression, and asked, "Master, what's inside?"

Jingliu stopped, glanced at Bai Luoming, then turned his gaze to the courtyard and explained, "Your senior brother feels a little embarrassed that you caught up with him, so he's doing extra training right now."

"Ah?"

Jingliu ignored Bai Luoming's reaction and strode into the courtyard, with Bai Luoming Jingliu closely behind.

Inside the courtyard, Jing Yuan was covered in sweat, wielding a sword and hacking at the wooden stake.

Even the presence of Jingliu and Bai Luoming in the courtyard did not disrupt his rhythm in the slightest.

Jingliu looked at Jing Yuan, whose clothes were soaked with sweat, nodded in satisfaction, and said to Jing Yuan, "Alright, that's enough for today."

Upon hearing Jingliu's words, Jing Yuan stopped what he was doing. He sheathed his sword and walked straight toward the two of them, finally stopping in front of Jingliu and bowing to Jingliu.

"Master."

"Okay, go back and rest after you've finished practicing. Come early tomorrow."

"Yes, Master."

Upon hearing this, Jing Yuan Jingliu again, then turned and walked out of the courtyard without the slightest hesitation.

By this point, Bai Luoming finally understood that Jing Yuan wasn't insisting on extra training at all; it was clearly...

"Alright, disciple, let's go. I'll take you to tidy up your room; you can sleep here tonight."

Jingliu interrupted his thoughts and walked towards a side room in the courtyard.

"Yes, Master, I'm coming right away."

Bai Luoming didn't hesitate much and followed Jingliu straight to the room.
