Chapter 580
Seeing that Jing Yuan was staring at him, Lin Yu deliberately interrupted his communication with the system and continued speaking to Jing Yuan.
"Actually, I'm not leaving because there are some things I need to discuss with General Jing Yuan in detail."
"Although the Palace of Astrum is heavily guarded, it is still not as good as the General's Divine General's Manor."
Seeing Yu Kong's expression change Yukong, Lin Yu ignored the other's hesitant expression and took the initiative to ask Jing Yuan.
"I wonder if the General would allow me to enter the Divine General's Manor to discuss and speculate on the matter of [who brought the Star Core into the Luofu Xianzhou]?"
?
Listening to Lin Yu's speech, the silent Jing Yuan realized that the other party seemed to have much more information than he had imagined.
Moreover, it seems that he hasn't yet had Tabusi contact the members of the Stellaron Hunters to exchange information about Kafka.
But the man Lin Yu called Uncle Yang was now leading his small team, heading rapidly toward Kafka's location.
Moreover, judging from the speed at which that group rushed forward, they did not hesitate at all—this clearly showed that they were certain that Kafka was in that location.
From this perspective, it's highly likely that the other side has more information...
"Jing Yuan will naturally personally entertain our distinguished guests who have provided such great assistance to our Luofu Xianzhou."
At this moment, Jing Yuan, who spoke with a smile, addressed Yukong Lin Yu, who was nearby.
"Yukong, send someone to guide Brother Lin Yu so that he can come to our Divine General's Manor smoothly."
"Yes, General Jing Yuan."
"See you later."
As Jing Yuan's image slowly dissipated within the Palace of Astrum, Yukong seemed to have forgotten the previous unpleasantness and spoke politely to Lin Yu.
"Then, Mr. Lin Yu, please wait a moment."
"Tingyun, you are acquainted with Mr. Lin Yu, so I'll entrust the task of leading the way to you."
"Yes."
After hearing Yukong's command, Tingyun, who had been waiting in the distance, slowly walked to Lin Yu's Lin Yu and smiled slightly at him.
"My Benefactor, you and I are truly destined to meet."
"Now, Benefactor, are you prepared to set off for the Divinity Manor immediately, or...?"
"Of course, I'll go right away."
After all, some things that need to be discussed can only be said at the Divinity Manor.
Even if I have sufficient judgment, without understanding the internal situation of Luofu, Jing Yuan is still more suitable to make decisions than I, an outsider.
He's a smart man; after giving him some information in advance...
—General Shence will definitely make a reasonable judgment.
Meanwhile, inside the Divine General's Manor
Inside the Divine General's Manor, Yanqing, a member of the Cloud Knights who witnessed the entire exchange between Jing Yuan and Lin Yu, spoke to Jing Yuan with great dissatisfaction after Jing Yuan finished his conversation with Lin Yu.
"General, this man has gone too far!"
"Although Yukong Kong's words were sharp, he was also concerned about the safety of our Luofu Xianzhou. He is an outsider—"
"Yanqing."
After interrupting the young guard's angry words, Jing Yuan lazily gave an order to his little apprentice.
"You are prohibited from making any disrespectful behavior towards the people on the Stellaron Hunters."
Having his inner thoughts exposed, the boy deflated like a punctured balloon, and helplessly lowered his head.
"... I haven't finished speaking yet."
Seeing the boy's dejected expression, Jing Yuan helplessly continued speaking to Yanqing.
"They came to help our Luofu Xianzhou solve its problems, and our hospitality has indeed been somewhat flawed."
"Of course, that's not the key point. The key issue is—you're not as good as that man named Lin Yu."
"If you choose to take action with the intention of testing them, then..."
"He probably won't die, but whether he'll suffer a minor injury or serious damage depends on Brother Lin Yu's mood at the time."
PS: 5K, to be continued tomorrow.
I have two things to say.
1. It's still uncertain when Tingyun will be replaced by Phantylia, so this book is based on the assumption that the train crew will encounter real people at the beginning.
2. Some people say that the Xianzhou Alliance's attitude towards the Abundance Pathstrider is different from its attitude towards the Abundance People and the Abundance Star Gods. I certainly know that.
The problem is that we need to consider the situation at the time. In the original story, the group of Cloud Knights who were staggering around the Spaceport suddenly found that someone was healing their bodies with a power similar to the Abundance. And this person was an Outcast. They had just gone through a life-or-death ordeal, so in my opinion, it was normal for them to be wary.
Later, realizing they had overreacted, they stopped making a scene.
Trailblaze Chapter 33. I, Lin Yu, hereby formally report Luocha for smuggling star cores!
"General... is this person really that strong?"
Although Yanqing was the number one swordsman of the Luofu Xianzhou, who could easily kill several Buli of the Buli tribe [Nest Father] and directly sink the Wing Architect Nayun Ship at a young age, he couldn't help but feel a bit arrogant.
However, in front of Jing Yuan, whom he regarded as his closest relative, this young genius was not so incapable of judging the other party's attitude.
At least for now, he can see that Jing Yuan really doesn't want him to fight the other party.
"Yes, really."
In response to Yanqing's question, Jing Yuan nodded slightly.
"When the opponent revealed his power, I, as Seven Arbiter-Generals of the Divine Bow, could sense that he, like us, was Pathstrider on the path of hunting."
"However, even in terms of destiny energy, his strength far surpasses yours."
"But..."
Still unwilling to accept defeat, Yanqing said defiantly.
"If the gap isn't too large, then a certain degree of the gap can be bridged with sword skills, right?"
"Indeed, your idea is theoretically sound, but..."
At this point, Jing Yuan's expression became more serious.
"How do you know that the strength they show us is their full strength?"
"... Yanqing understands."
Under Jing Yuan's persuasion, Yanqing naturally showed no intention of fighting on the surface.
However, this little brat was raised by Jing Yuan himself, Jing Yuan knew very well that his little apprentice would most likely find an opportunity to test the other party's strength.
Alas, although Yanqing is strong enough and mostly sensible, the pride in her heart still needs to be tempered.
If a passenger on the Stellaron Hunters could help me refine his character without harming his life, that would be a good thing, wouldn't it?
However, the man's attitude didn't seem like he was joking.
Could it be that he really knows who brought the star core into our Luofu Xianzhou?
Although no concrete intelligence had been obtained at this time, Jing Yuan had already begun to calculate what actions should be taken after obtaining the intelligence.
The person who brought the star core into the Luofu Xianzhou must have had some ulterior motive.
Given the current chaos on the Luofu Xianzhou, it was inevitable that the other party would infiltrate it.
From these two perspectives, the suspect identified by Luofu Xianzhou, [Stellaron Hunters member - Kafka], is basically the main culprit.
But Lin Yu still uttered those words even after they had already locked onto the Stellaron Hunters...
Could it be that there's more to this story?
If the Stellaron Hunters is not the real culprit, then the problem is even more serious.
After the Stellaron Hunters and the Stellaron Hunters have drawn our attention, the other side certainly won't miss this opportunity to carry out their operation.
After talking with Brother Lin Yu, we should take action as soon as possible.
Hopefully, there's still time to save everything, otherwise, if the problem with the star core spreads further...
—The casualty figures this time will probably be many times greater.
Divine General's Manor
After completing the notification and obtaining permission to enter the Divine General's Manor from the Divine General's Manor, Tingyun, who had been dispatched here by Yukong, smiled faintly at Lin Yu.
"Then, my Benefactor, my mission is now complete."
"This matter concerns the secrets of the Immortal Ship, so I will not accompany my Benefactor into the Divine General's Manor, after all..."
"—As a mere ferryman from the Shipwright Department corps, I am certainly not qualified to participate in this matter."
Seeing that Tingyun was about to leave, Lin Yu suddenly grabbed Tingyun's arm and said to Tingyun calmly.
"Miss Tingyun is too modest."
"As the successor Yukong by the current Shipwright Department, Miss Tingyun was originally one of the candidates for the next head of the Shipwright Department."
"And the status of the Shipwright Department in the Luofu Xianzhou goes without saying. As one of the future high-ranking officials of Luofu, I think it would be a good thing for you to accumulate some merits at this time."
At that moment, after forcefully pulling Tingyun over, Lin Yu whispered in her ear.
"Miss Tingyun, you wouldn't want to disappoint Yukong, would you?"
After listening to Lin Yu's words, Tingyun remained silent for a few seconds before giving Lin Yu a helpless smile.
"My Benefactor is truly all-knowing; he even knows about this matter."
"Since Benefactor are so kind as to accept my offer, then I, Tingyun, will accompany Benefactor into the Divine General's Manor."
"Yes, that's right."
After all, if you run away now, Phantylia and the others will find an opportunity to show themselves, and I might not be able to rescue you in time.
Inside the Divine General's Manor, Jing Yuan, who had been waiting for Lin Yu for some time, saw that Tingyun had also followed Lin Yu into the Divine General's Manor. He asked the two of them with a hint of curiosity.
"Brother Lin Yu, Jing Yuan has been waiting for you for a long time."
"As for Miss Tingyun —this matter is of great importance, so please take refuge in other areas of the Divine General's Manor for a while."
"I understand, General Jing Yuan."
After receiving Jing Yuan's instruction to slack off, Tingyun, who didn't want to get too involved in the matter, immediately breathed a sigh of relief and walked aside.
After saying this, Jing Yuan gave Yanqing a look, and Yanqing, who immediately understood Jing Yuan's thoughts, bowed to Jing Yuan and Lin Yu and then stepped aside.
"The general is indeed very cautious."
Looking at Yanqing, who had stepped aside, and sensing that Jing Yuan had released a powerful life force energy that enveloped the area where the two of them were, Lin Yu said with a slight sigh.
"Using such strong destiny energy to isolate the possibility of 'the walls have ears,' the general is truly meticulous."
"Brother Lin, you flatter me."
Looking at the man in front of him, Jing Yuan put away his polite smile and spoke to Lin Yu with a serious expression.
"Lin Yu, time is of the essence. The sooner we know who's behind this, the more seconds we'll have to plan how to counter them."
"Please enlighten me, Lin Yu —who exactly is trying to harm my Luofu Xianzhou?!"
Lin Yu, who was staring at the other party at this moment, finally understood what it meant to be imposing without being angry.
As the top leader of the Luofu Xianzhou, Jing Yuan is already considered an outstanding leader in all aspects.
When he played the original game, he could sense that Jing Yuan, who seemed incredibly polite to the train crew, was, in a sense, a wolf in sheep's clothing.
While smiling and praising the train crew, he diligently dispatched this special force to help in various places.
Moreover, this was even considered an open strategy; in the story, Fu Xuan even complained, "You're using this surprise attack way too often."
Of course, this doesn't mean that Jing Yuan has any problems.
