Watching the Battle Is Risky

Well, if I see the Black Swan again in Penacony later, maybe I can discuss this topic with her.

In the afternoon, Gwen received a communication from Fei Xiao, who was still in Luofu.

"You're leaving so soon?"

In Changle Heaven midst of the bustling crowd, Gwen found the white fox drinking alone.

Of course, they were drinking tea; otherwise, Changle Heaven would have suffered heavy losses.

"After all, I am Yaoqing's general. It's fine for me to go out on official business occasionally, but I can't be away for long periods of time."

Fei Xiao shrugged and casually poured Gwen a cup of tea.

"So it seems our sparring session may have to come to a temporary halt?"

Gwen took the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

The reason he hasn't been going to the Simulated Universe much lately is quite simple: with a real combat-type Emanator sparring partner, who would bother with the Simulated Universe?

"That's possible."

Fei Xiao nodded, picked up his teacup, and drank it all in one gulp.

"This is the first time since I took this position that I have had such a pleasant exchange with others."

There's no need to feel pressured to kill the enemy as quickly as possible to support other battlefields, nor to worry about being too heavy-handed and holding yourself back.

"You're probably the only person who can make me feel this relaxed."

"Oh...

Should I say thank you for the compliment?

Gwen winked and smiled.

"Come on—"

Fei Xiao's fox ears stood up, startled by Gwen's words.

"Ha ha..."

Although the two had to drink tea instead of alcohol because of one person's abysmal alcohol tolerance, they chatted happily and didn't feel anything was amiss...

Yeah, right—

Gwen could clearly sense that Fei Xiao seemed to have some reservations when he spoke, stammering and hesitating before daring to open his mouth.

"Something on your mind?"

Gwen refilled the tea and asked casually.

"...

You figured it out...

Fei Xiao paused as he was about to take a hearty sip of tea, but then drank the tea down and smiled nonchalantly as if he had let go of some burden.

"You didn't try so hard to hide it, how could I not see it?"

Gwen rolled his eyes at the feigning-ignorance white fox and said speechlessly,

"Do you really think all I care about is the thrill of fighting?"

"Ha ha...

I'll punish myself with three drinks—"

Upon hearing this, Fei Xiao immediately gave a forced smile and picked up the teapot to fill his cup.

"Why punish yourself with three cups of wine as punishment? Why punish yourself with tea?"

Gwen seemed to be pointing something out.

"Don't worry, if something happens to Changle Heaven, Jing Yuan will come after me."

Fei Xiao quickly waved his hand.

"Let's go somewhere else. After we finish three drinks, we can start practicing. We'll talk about it after we've had our fill."

Gwen laughed.

"Alright, since the person who's supposed to pick me up hasn't arrived yet, I might as well steal another one."

Fei Xiao into laughter twice.

Before the words were even finished, the two figures had vanished, leaving only a Strale on the table.

A moment later, in the Divine Might Palace, Jing Yuan looked at the energy signal that erupted from an uninhabited planet in the star system where the Xianzhou was docked, and couldn't help but sigh.

"General, what's wrong?"

Yanqing couldn't help but feel puzzled. These two had sparred more than once or twice, so why was Jing Yuan reacting this way?

"My wine collection has been stolen; it's all ancient, fine wine..."

Jing Yuan sighed in exasperation and casually revealed the truth.

"What!

Thieves have broken into the Divine Might Palace?

Yanqing was shocked and was about to volunteer to arrest the person, but noticing Jing Yuan's gaze, she realized something and slowly shifted her gaze—

"Could it be..."

"..."

Jing Yuan remained silent, everything was understood without being spoken.

Yanqing remained silent. Although it wasn't a good thing, considering that the general himself had given away his wine cellar when he hosted a dinner party not long ago, no one could criticize him.

What Yanqing didn't know was that Jing Yuan wasn't just sighing about his wine; he was an old man who didn't care much about drinking tea either.

What truly saddened him was that Fei Xiao indeed failed to complete the mission as planned...

At the same time, a Star Skiff burst in from the edge of the galaxy, heading towards Luofu...

Chapter 930 Watching the Battle is Risky

"Um?"

In a tiny, inconspicuous Star Skiff in the vast sea of stars, an old man with a white beard suddenly sensed something. He went to the control panel, and his seemingly frail fingers tapped repeatedly, bringing up the nearby star map.

"Grandfather?"

Noticing the old man's actions, the black-haired girl sitting next to him, swinging her smooth little feet, asked in surprise.

"It seems we've encountered some unexpected surprises..."

The old man explained in a doting tone that the adjustments had been completed, and the star map changed again, displaying the energy detection mode in combat mode. Two extremely dazzling red dots instantly illuminated the entire cockpit.

"This is!"

The girl's face appeared somewhat pale under the blinding red light. She quickly jumped off her seat, placing one hand on the weapon she had placed on the sword rack beside her.

A massive sword, heavy and dark in color, its length probably exceeding the combined height of the grandfather and grandson.

"Enemy attack?"

Should we contact Luofu Communications for assistance immediately?

Amidst the piercing alarm, a tall woman rushed into the cabin, asking in alarm.

The woman with Vidyadhara ears has long, smooth, dark brown hair, tied up with delicate ornaments, with a few strands falling gently, adding to her graceful appearance.

However, what is most eye-catching is not her pretty and graceful appearance, or her exceptionally tall figure accentuated by her fitted clothes, but rather the red gradient on her hands and feet, as if dyed with a layer of rosy clouds from afar, with traces of scales faintly visible in between.

But at this moment, his eyes, which were usually as deep as night yet clear and lively, revealing intelligence and keenness in every glance, were filled with solemnity.

Judging from her slightly crooked hair ornament and still somewhat tired eyes, she was awakened from her nap.

"That's not necessary..."

Unlike the two somewhat panicked girls, the old man showed no sign of panic. He simply steered the Star Skiff in the direction of the two red dots.

A moment later, a blurry image was projected, with two streaks of light, one gold and one blue, constantly darting and colliding, so much so that even the equipment on the Star Skiff could hardly make out the image.

"The old general seems to have anticipated this?"

Seeing that it seemed there were only two people fighting on that planet or even in space, rather than attacking the Star Skiff, the woman's solemn expression faded somewhat, replaced by a thoughtful and quick look as she turned to the old man.

"I only heard them mention it at the meeting, saying that our General of Heavenly Strike and this young friend who received the blessing of the Emperor Bow God got along very well and often sparred with each other."

If I'm not mistaken, they're sparring right now.

The old man stroked his beard and said with a chuckle.

"Grandpa, why didn't you say so earlier? You made me worry for so long."

Upon hearing that it wasn't an enemy attack but rather a friendly sparring match, the girl puffed up her cheeks and glared angrily at her grandfather.

"Ha ha...

We need to confirm things first, otherwise, if we mistake the enemy for a friendly force, wouldn't we make a fool of ourselves...?

The old man chuckled as he spoke, casually closing the data analysis window on the small screen.

He didn't simply compare the Jing Yuan showed at the meeting to confirm his identity; he confirmed it by comparing energy signals with a certain precision.

"Should we go to Luofu first?"

Should we go and meet these two first?

Completely relieved, she casually tidied her hair ornaments, subtly wiped away the slight traces from the corners of her eyes, and her tone returned to its usual sharpness.

"Hehe...

Since we've come across it, why not take a look from a distance?

The old man chuckled softly and made his decision.

"The Emperor Bow's Seven Generals are each guarding the Immortal Xianzhou. I haven't seen such a sparring match many times in my thousands of years of life. Today, we can say that we have a feast for the eyes."

"But I can't see anything at all..."

The girl, who used to be quite interested in this subject on Zhuming Xianzhou, stared at the screen for a while before saying somewhat dejectedly.

Even though she was a renowned genius girl in Zhu Ming, the second youngest genius swordsman among the "Eight Flame Wheels" of the Zhuming Xianzhou, she was completely clueless and couldn't see anything when facing a duel between two powerful Emanator specialized in combat.

"Oh...

Why is Yunli in such a hurry?

"Let's hear what ingenious method General Huai Yan, shall we?"

Before the old man could answer, the woman chuckled and took out a piece of candy from somewhere, stuffing it into the blue-haired girl's mouth, making the aloof girl's face puff up instantly.

"Forehead..."

Upon hearing this, the old man's expression stiffened slightly, and his tone became somewhat awkward.

"This old man... this old man has no good ideas either. After all, I can't very well ask General of Heavenly Strike and that young friend to slow down and show us, can I?"

"So, Grandpa, you just wanted to see it because you were curious about it, right?"

After swallowing the candy whole, the girl grabbed the old man's arm and shook it vigorously, as if she wouldn't stop until she shook him to pieces.

"Alright, Yunli, such a sparring match is a rare sight. Let's sit down and observe first..."

Seeing this, the woman with slightly Vidyadhara ears chuckled softly, and only after the old man cast a glance at her did she gently tug at the girl.

"Sister Ling Sha, you..."

Just as the young girl Yunli was about to say something, a sword light flashed across the screen. Time seemed to pause for a moment in the Star Skiff that was instantly stained with a layer of red light. The next moment, an even more piercing alarm sounded.

"Grandpa, what was that just now...?"

The girl, who was so shocked that the hairs on her body stood on end, grabbed her grandfather's arm to keep her balance and asked in horror.

A sword aura swept past the side of the Star Skiff.

The old man's voice remained unchanged, showing little fluctuation despite having narrowly escaped injury. Only his fist, which had been subtly clenched within his sleeve, opened again, and the red glow on the Star Skiff's surface quietly faded.

"Even if you can't see the whole picture from this level of sparring, it's still very beneficial to learn from just a few moves or pieces."

"Um..."

The terrifying moment had calmed the gifted girl down. Hearing her grandfather's words, she nodded quietly, recalling the feeling of that moment.
