The General Is Still Making Moves! / What's the Relationship Between Jing Yuan's Master and Hua Yi? Yunli Should Call Hua Yi "Big Brother"

Wearing a small crown, with two neatly combed strands of deep blue hair reaching her waist, and a pair of bright, golden eyes, she was beautiful and lovely.

She even had Jade Bird Skewers in her mouth, eating while moving a chair, which somehow transformed the lively spirit in her eyes into a charmingly naive one.

" Yunli! You child, how can you not be tempted to eat while doing chores?"

"Grandpa, you didn't say I couldn't eat anything before... This is a bird skewer I bought myself on the street, that's why I didn't steal any of the food on the table."

Huai Yan helpless, Huaiyan introduced Hua Yi to the person beside him.

"This is my grand-disciple Yunli. She is shy and timid, so please forgive her for any rudeness."

Is being shy and reserved a sign of being timid and reserved?

Hua Yi didn't try to control his expression and immediately broke into a smile.

"I am a guest, and General Jing Yuan and General Huai Yan are the hosts. If the hosts are too polite, Ji 797, Xing, and I will not be able to eat properly and will feel constrained while eating. With the general's lively granddaughter leading the way, everyone can relax a bit. There is no way we can be considered impolite."

"Alright, don't hold back, you... um, everyone, please sit wherever you like and eat as much as you like."

Huai Yan, with a kind and benevolent expression, gestured to the rest of the Express crew, disregarding the distinction between upper and lower seats and abandoning the etiquette of the Xianzhou) in entertaining guests.

However, he didn't move an inch, standing smiling beside Hua Yi, his attitude perfectly clear.

Wherever Hua Yi sits, Huai Yan sits next to him. The host and guest are either seated at the head of the table or at the foot of the table. This is a way to strike a balance between etiquette and casualness, and it also makes the atmosphere more intimate.

It is said that old people are wise and shrewd. Even though Jing Yuan was known as the General of the Divine Creation, he secretly admired the Old General's considerations.

Something's getting increasingly wrong.

If this continues, Himeko suspects that Emperor's Bow Heavenly General abduct Hua Yi in an incredibly natural way.

As the Express Navigator, I have to do something.

Ren Xing and March 7th excitedly took their seats, picked up their bowls and chopsticks and started eating. Himeko moved lightly to Hua Yi's right side, and with him as the center, she faced off against the generals of the Xianzhou on the left and right.

Instinctively, Himeko judged that this was no longer a matter of personal feelings; it concerned the future and a struggle for [The Path of Exploration], and she could not back down at this moment.

"..."

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment. Huai Yan remained kind and gentle, but did not explain to the Astral Express that it was all a misunderstanding and that they were simply entertaining guests.

There is no misunderstanding now.

Yunli had never seen her grandfather show such an attitude before. She stared at Hua Yi with wide eyes, looking him up and down, her face full of surprise and curiosity.

The silence didn't last long. Hua Yi moved and casually chose a seat to sit down.

So Huai Yan naturally sat to his left, and Jing Yuan moved to the left.

Himeko was sitting to Hua Yi's right, and further to her right were March 7th and Xing.

This time it was Feixiao's turn to sit down first. He picked up a leg of lamb and started gnawing on it with a dashing and handsome Feixiao, but something felt off.

It seems like I'm sitting on the Astral Express?

Well, it's not a big problem. Jingliu is right there too. The important thing is what we're going to talk about next.

"This is Mansion of Delicious Food's signature Spicy Sliced Beef Tripe, made from minced meat and offal from Yellow Stone Ox, cooked with Crimson Cloud Chili Paste. I'll serve you a bowl to try."

"It's bright red and tempting, and the spiciness is intense. Don't believe me, Old General, but I can handle spicy food quite well," Hua Yi said without any politeness.

"Good, good, good. And this is fruitwood-roasted wing roots from Shang Zi Wei, which warms the middle and benefits qi, replenishes essence and marrow. Young friend, you are at the age of growth, so you should eat more of it." "I remember that the Xata'n Terror Bird is ferocious by nature. Its meat is indeed firm and much tastier than ordinary chicken."

"Young friend, you recognize it? You truly have a wealth of knowledge."

Huai Yan smiled and gave Hua Yi a thumbs up, his general's demeanor completely gone, replaced by the image of a kind elder.

"I heard from Jing Yuan that he treated you to two pots of Scalegorge Spring at the Nightless Lord. I also enjoy tea, and I gave you a few boxes afterward. Now that it's time for a proper meal, why not have some thick soup? By the way, you and Yunli are both young people, so you must like desserts. Those plates are for you. Do you like them?"

Oh? Old General, you really invited Hua Yi to dinner?

Regardless of how Yunli felt seeing her grandfather being so kind to strangers, Feixiao was completely dumbfounded.

"General Huai Yan, shouldn't we say something about the chaos in Xianzhou Luofu?"

"Absolutely! Absolutely!"

Huai Yan nodded and stroked his beard.

"When Xianzhou Luofu was in trouble, my young friend saved the crumbling edifice and rescued the Xianzhou from the brink of disaster. Would you be willing to join the Xianzhou Alliance and help each other? Back then, the people of the Xianzhou swore an oath with the Vidyadhara and Foxian to create civilization together, which is why the Xianzhou Alliance is what it is today. If we could rebuild our alliance, it would be another wonderful story."

This is the kind of reaction I'm talking about.

After listening to Huai Yan's words, Hua Yi was impressed by Emperor's Bow Heavenly General's decisive action, but still smiled.

" The Old General means to form an alliance with the Astral Express, right? Otherwise, how can I, a mere individual, compare with the Vidyadhara and Foxian Clan?"

"Young friend..."

"Now that the train is being repaired by Himeko and is embarking on a new Trailblaze the universe, it is in a rather difficult initial stage. If the Xianzhou is willing to establish a friendship, it would be a great help."

The answer was somewhat different from what he expected, and Huai Yan fell into deep thought.

" The Nameless upheld justice and morality and came to Xianzhou Luofu to warn us early on. Now, we have Generals Huai Yan Feixiao to witness this alliance. This Alliance Jade Sign will be given to the Astral Express."

Jing Yuan naturally picked up the conversation and took out an object that looked like a tiger tally.

"Thousands of years ago, when the Xianzhou Alliance was established, all the Xianzhou swore an oath and inscribed it on Jade Abacus as proof. Even if the world were to perish, this oath would not be forgotten. This Jade Abacus is the same, symbolizing the Luofu Cloud Knights ' commitment to the Express crew. It is also a beacon that no matter how vast the Milky Way or how long the journey, the Luofu Cloud Knights will come to join the Train Corps and fulfill what you have entrusted to them."

This is a great gift.

Among the super powers that stand at the top of the entire universe, [ Xianzhou Luofu ] of the Xianzhou Alliance sent out a token. Once the Astral Express accepted it, it would have an incredibly terrifying trump card.

But Himeko bit her red lips tightly, her delicate hand tugging at Hua Yi's sleeve under the table, unwilling to accept the offer.

Chapter 349 The General is still operating!

Despite being the Express Navigator, Himeko was acting like a timid young woman, anxiously expressing her thoughts and leaving the final decision to Hua Yi.

If we consider the Express crew as a whole, the sum of everyone's contributions during the turmoil is certainly worth Xianzhou General offering the Alliance Jade Sign.

But upon closer examination, that's not the case at all!

Protecting the key personnel of the Shipyacht Department, defeating the Buli War Leader, and destroying the Antimatter Legion and the Buli Beast Ships in the starry sky... all the truly significant contributions were made by Hua Yi. If the Astral Express accepts this Jade Abacus, it will consume his merits.

How could we possibly risk harming Hua Yi's interests to covet Xianzhou Luofu's trump card?

The Xianzhou was so generous with its gifts, but the Train could not follow suit and offer something of sufficient value to the Nameless who continued to Trailblaze. This made Himeko feel complicated.

Compared to the super powers at the top of the cosmic pyramid, the Astral Express is far inferior. Can it really keep Hua Yi by its side... well, on the train?

" General Jing Yuan has presented a very generous gift."

Seeing the complex expression on Himeko's face, Hua Yi was deeply moved.

With the appearance of something as invaluable as the Alliance Jade Sign, readily available, the mature and beautiful Navigator seemed to have turned into a little girl, looking preoccupied with her own thoughts.

So cute~

"How about we eat first, giving both sides more time to consider?"

"Young friend, you don't need to be so polite."

Huai Yan was also observing the situation, and from Himeko's reaction, he concluded that " Astral Express does not covet the Xianzhou Alliance's assistance, but instead places Hua Yi in a higher position."

This conclusion made the Old General nod in approval.

The newly appointed Emissary of the Divine Archer Hunt of the world. He previously rode in the Rainbow Car. It is undoubtedly gratifying to be able to make friends with such a group of Nameless who do not covet profit.

" Jing Yuan's actions are a reward for the Astral Express, and I feel there is no reason for me to refuse. Without your help, I don't know how many Cloud Knights soldiers would have sacrificed themselves in this war. There is a saying in the Xianzhou Alliance: 'A drop of water in need is repaid with a spring of water.' What the Express crew has done is far more than a drop of water in need. If we are ever in trouble in the future, we will never stand idly by."

The "we" in this sentence is no longer limited to Xianzhou Luofu.

But Huai Yan didn't rule out the possibility of anything, as he had other expectations for Hua Yi.

Taking advantage of his position sitting to Hua Yi's left, the Old General forcefully handed him the Jade Abacus and gripped his hand tightly.

"It's quite a coincidence. Young friend, you wish to travel the universe, and the Xianzhou, which is a giant ship that travels among the stars, is just right to carry you on your journey."

"General Huai Yan, you... Each of these Xianzhou carries hundreds of millions of people. The Xianzhou Alliance has to consider many factors when it acts. How can we change the course just because of me?"

"Why not? The Zhuming Xianzhou under my command can adjust its course according to your wishes, young friend."

This isn't just empty talk; Huai Yan is serious.

The newly appointed Emissary of The Hunt the starry sky, eliminating evil spirits, perfectly aligning with the core principles of the Xianzhou Alliance.

Even if the Zhuming Xianzhou is a behemoth, and factors such as the route and the space where it docks need to be considered, it can be carefully weighed and the ship can be arranged to complete the rest of the journey once it reaches the vicinity of the target star system that Hua Yi desires.

"Unless the Divine Archer sends down a beam of light to mark the world inhabited by the abominations, indicating to the Xianzhou Alliance that an immediate military campaign is needed, I assure you, I will not disappoint you!"

Wait a minute, Old General, why are you bringing up Zhuming Xianzhou?

It was clearly my side that first established a good relationship with Hua Yi.

Jing Yuan almost extended an olive branch on behalf of Xianzhou Luofu, but remembering the friendship between the Xianzhou Alliance, he held back and spoke tactfully instead.

" Elder Yan was just using an analogy. I wonder if you are comfortable living in the residence arranged by the Shipyacht Department? Xianzhou Luofu can create a new grotto-heaven and enrich its interior according to your wishes."

"Now that things have come to this... it's definitely my turn to speak!"

Jing Yuan chose to be tactful, but Feixiao was clearly not so subtle.

" Hua Yi, you really should come to Yaoqing. The Foxian must also want to see what the great hero Buli War Leader looks like. I guarantee you'll receive a warm welcome!"

"I feel like I'd have to cut myself into eight pieces to satisfy the three generals."

The Xianzhou Alliance's combat strength and material resources are certainly superior to those of the Astral Express.

But Hua Yi could not abandon other truths for the sake of [Hunt].

Jing Yuan and Huai Yan seemed to regard themselves as Emissary of The Hunt. Feixiao was thanking himself for killing the great enemy of the Foxian. If he were to stay in such a super power for a long time, there would definitely be many more things to pay attention to.

Whether or not one can decide their own flight path is another matter. If they disrupt other paths or even launch different Emissary -class attacks, the repercussions will be significant.

The Xianzhou Alliance is the headquarters of [Hunt]. No matter how much Hua Yi uses other people's accounts, he can't rely on the "account" of Emperor's Bow Heavenly General to stir up destruction and Path of Preservation.

"Visiting Zhuming and Yaoqing can be postponed to the future. My sense of time is short-lived, and I will not keep the two generals waiting for too long. If possible, I would like to ask the generals to help collect certain materials to expand the Astral Express. I feel that there are not enough carriages now."

"Leave this matter to me. Zhuming Ming is renowned for its craftsmanship and has plenty of rare materials."

" Xianzhou Luofu's interstellar trade is quite prosperous, so it can be of help."

" The Qingqiu Army has seized quite a lot of spoils from their campaign against the Abundance fiend; they're all piled up in the warehouse. Just give me a list later."

Plans can't keep up with changes.

Huai Yan had originally intended for Yunli to chat casually with the Express crew, but the little girl's attention was entirely focused on Hua Yi, and she was staring at him with wide eyes.

Judging from the Navigator Himeko's appearance, she was also unable to scramble the Express crew.

The newly Emissary of The Hunt failed to join the Xianzhou Alliance directly as he had hoped, turning the Seven Arbiter-Generals of the Emperor's Bow into Eight Heavenly Generals, which is truly a pity.

However, Hua Yi didn't rule out any possibility. Judging from his words, he would visit Zhuming within a hundred years, and there would still be a chance to make an effort then.

This is also a good opportunity to report the situation to the marshal and further establish a friendly relationship with Hua Yi.

"By the way, young friend, are you finding your weapons to your liking? I've heard you have a lance and a greatsword; why don't you try out the Zhuming swordcraft?"

"They're just right for me. I've grown attached to these two weapons and don't want to change them."

Hua Yi wanted to end the discussion.

Otherwise, Huai Yan proposed to personally forge the weapons and enhance the spear and sword.

The Supreme Guardian's Lance contains Alisa's soul, and the unknown nature of the soul cluster remains. The Godfall Sword contains Phantylia, a Great Lord of Ruin.

How could one casually give it to the Emissary of The Hunt forging?

Chapter 350 What is the relationship between Jing Yuan's master and Hua Yi? Yunli has to call Brother Hua Yi".

"After arriving in Xianzhou Luofu, I heard storytellers recount the heroic deeds of the Cloud-to-Cloud Cavalry more than once. I had long admired them, but unfortunately, the story ended with the Five Heroes scattering in different directions."

Hua Yi was changing the subject, but what he said immediately stirred Jing Yuan's thoughts.

"The former Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae Dan Feng has become Dan Heng, and Jingliu, who has been convicted of being a traitor, has also attended this banquet. What is the Xianzhou Alliance's attitude towards this?"

"This concerns Xianzhou Luofu. I believe Jing Yuan already has his own judgment, so I will not say more."

"Back then, Dan Feng suffered the Scales Reincarnation Punishment, and was reborn as Dan Heng. He was still expelled from Xianzhou Luofu, and it has been hundreds of years since then."
