Chapter 69

Jing Yuan sighed inwardly, marveling at how thoughtful Jingliu's new disciple was, but perhaps a little too precocious.

He waved his hand, and the Cloud Knights Guards all stepped back.

"This is Penacony, and we cannot arbitrarily break the rules of the world."

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere on both sides immediately relaxed.

"However, Xianzhou Alliance's stance will never change."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yan cupped his hands in greeting, his expression indifferent.

"You may all disperse and return to Luofu," Jing Yuan waved his hand again, ordering the Cloud Knights Guards to retreat. "This operation has disturbed Penacony, I'll go apologize to the administrators here."

Afterwards, everyone dispersed, leaving only Fu Xuan and Jing Yuan behind.

Bai Yan looked away, keeping a great distance from Jing Yuan, as if he was very averse to him.

Jing Yuan looked at Jingliu.

"A newly accepted disciple?"

"It was a chance encounter, and we felt a strong connection, so I accepted it."

Having said that, Jing Yuan didn't know how to continue, so he fell silent again.

At this moment, Fu Xuan approached Bai Yan.

"Kid, you think you can just run away after lying to me?"

"Hmm? I thought the Lord Diviner had foreseen something, but it turns out he didn't? As expected, the Lord Diviner wouldn't even bother to divine the fate of a weakling like me." Bai Yan shook his head, looking quite self-pitying.

"..."

Fu Xuan composed himself and asked with a stern face, "You said you could help her suppress the Mara-struck?"

"It is all thanks to Master's great fortune and Heaven's mercy. What merit have I made? Lord Diviner."

"Tsk!"

This person is so difficult to communicate with!

Not far away, Jingliu glanced over and a smile crept onto his lips.

"Coming from an invisible and mysterious star field, yet not unfamiliar with the affairs of various realms, it seems that the Garden of Recollection has discovered far more than we imagined," Jing Yuan said.

"I must admit that after meeting Xiaoyan, some of my ideas have gradually begun to waver."

"He originally wanted to learn swordsmanship to save his life, but instead he went to fight the disaster on their side, and now..."

At this point, Jingliu his head, feeling his resolve wavering even more.

"...He's smarter than Yanqing, but the way he acted just now really didn't seem fake."

Jingliu: "He's serious, but that doesn't mean he'll start fighting desperately the moment negotiations break down."

"Oh?"

Jingliu smiled but remained silent in response to Jing Yuan's doubts.

Hyperdimensional Space is not something that outsiders can understand!

So Jing Yuan decided to talk to Bai Yan in person.

"Bai Yan."

"Oh, it's General."

"To be honest, we actually—"

"Actually, there is no enmity between us. General, you may inquire further."

What fellow disciples? I don't know them!

Just as Jing Yuan was feeling a bit awkward, Jingliu suddenly called out to Bai Yan.

"Xiaoyan."

"What?"

Jingliu walked over and patted him on the head.

"That matter isn't urgent; we can certainly take our time to plan it out."

Bai Yan grinned and said, "Master, the timing was perfect this time, and Mr. Rochu didn't object, so I took the liberty of making the decision."

Upon hearing this, Jing Yuan looked at Rochu, who had remained silent, but his expression was not surprised.

Rochu said politely, "I'm very sorry, General..."

"What's going on?" Fu Xuan asked Bai Yan, looking up at him.

"This Mr. Rochu has a bold idea he wishes to share with the General, but the General is too busy with other matters, so he can only take this opportunity to explain it."

Fu Xuan glared at him, clearly dissatisfied with this ambiguous statement.

She then swaggered over and listened to their conversation for a while. She left halfway through, did some calculations on her fingers, and after getting the result, she ran back to Bai Yan.

What is Hyperdimensional Space?

She is not interested in anything else.

"The Lord Diviner is truly a prophet, but this matter is beyond my control. Only those with the right destiny may enter."

Fu Xuan pointed at the Nightingale: "She's also a destined person? How did you two become destined?"

The Nightingale had been silently watching Bai Yan since earlier, and when it heard someone mention it, it immediately looked at Fu Xuan with curiosity.

"Perhaps it's because there's a senior in my organization who also has blue hair."

Upon Nightingale finally spoke, asking curiously, "Are you also a singer?"

"She is a Valkyrie who has fought against monsters that the Destruction the world for many years, and she is also an idol, but she is tone-deaf."

"..."

"..."

Bai Yan glanced at Fu Xuan, sensing that the other party's energy was probably almost full, and quickly said, "Lord Diviner, there's no need to be impatient. When the time is right, it will come naturally."

However, this sentence reminded Fu Xuan of the white-haired barbarian holding a doll.

I don't know whether to be angry or laugh.

"Forget it, why bother arguing with a child like you?"

Fu Xuan shook his head.

"You can come to the Xianzhou Alliance from now on, but don't bring anyone else with you, and don't bring anything dangerous, understand?"

"Hehe, thank you very much, Lord Diviner."

"If you have any trouble, you can come to me, but don't create trouble."

"Understand."

Fu Xuan nodded in satisfaction.

On the other side, Rochu and Jing Yuan had almost finished their conversation, and their gazes towards each other were somewhat subtle.

This incident may seem like an accident, but it was actually a scheme orchestrated by Bai Yan on a whim.

Endorsing himself as the "master of the Hyperdimensional Space," he acted as a go-between for Rochu, though the way he did so was rather strange.

In this way, neither Rochu nor Jingliu will have to go to jail for the time being.

When talking to someone with such a face, Bai Yan knew he didn't need to be too direct, because they would use every advantage they had to turn into the results they wanted.

Although the gold pendant was delivered through Jingliu, it was essentially a gift from Rochu.

So Bai Yan took this opportunity to help out in a small way.

Jing Yuan was no ordinary person. Upon hearing the report from his subordinates at the General's Mansion, he immediately sensed that something was amiss.

So I might as well go myself. After all, it would be unreasonable for someone of Jingliu's caliber not to show up.

As the General of Divine Strategy, he could not ignore the opinions of the others on the Xianzhou Alliance. He could not act arbitrarily and always had to have a plausible reason.

Bai Yan had already come up with all these reasons for him.

As for the Rochu, killing Abundance is everyone's common goal, and as for that thing in his possession... we should treat it with caution.

Jing Yuan needs to avoid suspicion from Bai Yan, but Fu Xuan doesn't have to; in fact, she can vouch for Bai Yan's safety.

Xianzhou native are meticulous in their work.

Afterwards, Jing Yuan, busy with other matters, hurriedly bid farewell to the group and left. Rochu followed him, and before leaving, she did not forget to thank Bai Yan.

Fu Xuan gave Bai Yan an antique compass, indicating that she could use it to find her at the Divination Department in the future.

With that, the matter was finally settled, and Bai Yan finally had time to talk to the Nightingale.

"Is that ring-shaped thing the tool you use to open up the Hyperdimensional Space?"

"Uh, yeah."

Why is it like this?

"I don't know. I originally planned to light three incense sticks, but my senses told me I didn't want straight incense, but this kind..."

"That's really interesting, haha..."

The power of Harmony allows the Nightingale to see the unusual items on Bai Yan's body.

For example, Plague Gem and burning mosquito coils.

"Penacony is my hometown, so what about Bai Yan? What's your hometown like?"

"It's alright, it's just that it's been wiped out one era after another by a Honkai, and we're still fighting Honkai to Honkai death in our era."

"I see... Do you have a solution?" the Nightingale asked worriedly.

"Yes, you might not believe it, but I was a major participant."

"I believe that!"

Do you have any plans for the future?

No, what about you?

"There's a place I want to go, mainly because the people there look a lot like my family from before, so I want to go and see it."

Mother Cocolia has already made a big mistake, but Belobog's hasn't yet, so it might not be too late to stop it now.

In addition, there is the planet's debt problem, but so far no one has re-established contact with them.

You can look up Garden of Recollection for this question.

P. S.: 4K today. That's it. Time for a break and to adjust my sleep schedule. I'll do it again another day.

Book 1: Chapter 78: Belobog, oh Belobog, my hometown~

The Black Swan reappeared from beneath the mysterious transparent curtain, its tone somewhat puzzled.

Bai Yan summoned her again; she wondered what it was about this time.

Nightingale and Jingliu were also curious. Previously, Bai Yan had been very indifferent to the people of Garden of Recollection, but now he wanted to find Black Swan.

But considering his previous actions, everyone felt that this should be the important matter.

"What are your instructions, Mr. Bai Yan?"

"Here's the thing, I want to go to Jarilo-VI, but it's almost wiped out by the Star Cores," Bai Yan said, shrugging. "Could you please call the Stellaris Hunters and have them collect the Star Cores? If that's not possible, could you show us the way? I'll go to Jarilo-VI to help the locals summon the gods. Qlipoth can't save them, so please ask the Abundance for help."

A flash of red light appeared in Jingliu's eyes, and he almost wanted to take action to eliminate his own sect.

But then he thought about it again. He had just helped Rochu make the connection so that her plan to kill the Abundance could continue, so he held back from acting out.

The Nightingale covered its beak, unsure whether it was saddened by a planet ravaged by the Stellaron or moved by Bai Yan's compassionate words.

In short, the Black Swan also fell silent for a while.

She then asked, "Mr. Bai Yan, is this your true intention?"

"Partly, but mainly because I don't think King Amber is good enough."

"I see..."
