My Honkai: Star Rail System Arrived Early

Sushang pulled Ji Yuan over to Tingyun, and the two of them flanked Ji Yuan, one on each side. Sushang held his arm, while Tingyun walked slowly with her hands behind her back.

Yesterday, Huohuo, Sushang, and Tingyun had stayed together. This morning, Sushang was scheduled to report to the Cloud Knights.

She wasn't coming as a civilian this time. To be precise, she was a Cloud Knight seconded from the Yaoging Star-skiff to the Luofu Starfaring Vessel. This meant that both she and Ji Yuan's mother held respectable positions within the Cloud Knights; otherwise, she would have had to report immediately upon arrival.

Early this morning, Ji Yuan and Tingyun took her to report.

As they passed Chang'le Sky, Ji Yuan and the others spotted Ginevere, the performer entertaining there. It was Sushang's first time seeing such a performance, and she couldn't help but steal a few more glances.

She wanted to watch longer, but Ji Yuan dragged her away.

"Brother, let me watch a bit longer!" Sushang pleaded with Ji Yuan.

"That's impossible," Ji Yuan said coolly.

"Now that you're a Cloud Knight, you need to start experiencing adult life properly."

Tingyun gently patted Sushang's hand from the side and then said to her, "The Cloud Knights have patrol duties in Chang'le Sky. Can't you just choose to be stationed there when the time comes?"

"Is... is that really okay?" Sushang asked, scratching her head with a hint of shyness.

"There are so many people watching the acrobatics. If the Cloud Knights don't maintain order, problems could easily arise, right?"

"Mhm, yes, Sister Tingyun, you're right..." Sushang nodded in agreement.

Ji Yuan rolled his eyes speechlessly. This sister of mine will probably be sold by Tingyun in the future and still count the money for her.

As he thought this, Tingyun glanced at Ji Yuan, and the intensity in her gaze made Ji Yuan swallow hard. I should hurry up and take Sushang to report.

The reporting process went very smoothly. Sushang's record was spotless, with no issues whatsoever. Soon, someone came to take Sushang to familiarize herself with her work.

Seeing Sushang settled into her normal work, Tingyun looked at Ji Yuan and said, "Let's go. We should report to the Ten Directions Bureau as well."

"Okay," Ji Yuan nodded subconsciously.

However, he immediately reacted, a cold sweat breaking out on his back. No, this is dangerous. Ji Yuan silently took two steps back and looked at the others. He said to Tingyun, "How about we wait for the Cloud Knights who patrol the Ten Thousand Ships Administration and hitch a ride with them?" Being alone together is absolutely out of the question.

Tingyun rubbed her forehead. Seriously, why are you becoming so resistant again after Sushang left? What is it about me that makes you afraid to be alone with me? I'm not going to eat you. I need to find an opportunity to ask you clearly about this. She narrowed her eyes and then gritted her teeth, nodding. "Alright, this humble woman will wait with you for the Cloud Knights to go together." The hand holding her folding fan tightened slightly, as if she intended to use it to give Ji Yuan's head a good whack. She's really making me angry! Tingyun stomped her foot in annoyance but still stood beside Ji Yuan, waiting with him.

Hitching a ride with the Cloud Knights, Ji Yuan and Tingyun arrived at the Ten-Ship Bureau together. As they entered the Ten-Ship Bureau, Ji Yuan went to find Yukong to check out. Just as Tingyun was about to follow, Qingni appeared and walked up to her.

Qingni asked Tingyun, "Where were you yesterday? I looked for you, but you weren't home. And now you're here with Ji Yuan again?"

"Of course, I stayed over at his place last night," Tingyun said with a smile. As she spoke, she frowned and rubbed her thigh. "My leg is so numb~" Her tone was soft, as if she were genuinely troubled by the sensation.

Of course, my legs were really numb. Stomping my feet like that when I was angry, especially in high heels, would make anyone's legs numb.

Meanwhile, upon hearing Tingyun's words, Qingni asked in a slightly accusatory tone, "No, what did you do!?"

Wait—

Just as she was about to ask again, Qingni saw the expression on Tingyun's face, her lips curling upwards as she smirked. She instantly knew she had been tricked.

"What did you do?"

"I really stayed at Ji Yuan's place yesterday. However, it was in the same room as his sister."

Tingyun said with a smile.

"Oh, that's more like it."

Qingni finally relaxed.

At this moment, Tingyun continued, "But we were all under the same roof, so it's not impossible to be in the same room someday."

Qingni tensed up again.

Meanwhile, Ji Yuan approached Helmsman Yukong of the Ten Ships Department.

"Helmsman, I'm back to cancel my leave."

After saying this, he intended to wait for Yukong's instructions and then complete the departure procedures. However, at this moment, Yukong looked up at Ji Yuan.

"Ji Yuan, please wait a moment."

She said, leaning down to pick up some documents.

This movement exposed her full, shapely white legs to Bai Ye.

When it came to the allure of thighs, Ji Yuan dared to guarantee that among the people he knew on the Xianzhou, no one could compare.

Ji Yuan quickly turned his head and asked Yukong, "Director Yukong, is there something?"

Yukong said to Ji Yuan, "It's like this, I reviewed the specific details of your and Tingyun's encounter that day and discovered something very strange."

"What is it?"

"You seem very familiar with the Buli Ren. In the investigations over the past few days, even the most elite Cloud Knights of the Xianzhou couldn't detect the Buli Ren's involvement in this hidden technology."

"Perhaps I have a natural talent for this."

Ji Yuan pondered for a moment and gave Yukong this reason.

The matter of the system was truly difficult to explain.

"I just don't know if Director Yukong will believe my words."

Ji Yuan thought to himself.

Yukong looked at Ji Yuan and nodded slightly.

"Yes, it seems your expertise in this area is indeed remarkable."

She believed him.

Ji Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he heard her continue, "We have now decided to retaliate against the Orion Trading Company. To prevent the Buli Ren from escaping, you are now specially assigned to participate in the battle with the troops, and to identify if anyone escapes after the battle."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan's eyes widened.

ps: I had some things to deal with today, so the update is a bit late...

Chapter 30: Tingyun: Don't even think about escaping!

"I'm going to identify the enemies?"

Ji Yuan asked Yukong again.

"Yes." Yukong nodded slightly. "To prevent even a single Buli Ren from escaping, it's necessary to identify all of them. I see you have a talent for this, so I'm sending you to try."

At the same time, she gave Ji Yuan a meaningful look.

Yukong didn't believe Ji Yuan's talk about innate talent; she knew Ji Yuan definitely had something hidden. However, Yukong wouldn't delve into it. Since a campaign was about to begin, his power should be contributed.

"Can I refuse?"

Ji Yuan asked tentatively.

Going to the battlefield was simply too dangerous. Especially since Ji Yuan knew Tingyun would also be on the battlefield, their combined danger level would skyrocket.

Yukong smiled faintly. Although she didn't say anything, her meaning was clear.

Ji Yuan fell silent.

However, before leaving, he said to Yukong, "Um, Director, the newly arrived Cloud Knights will all be participating in the war, right?"

"Yes." Yukong saw through Ji Yuan's thoughts and continued, "I know your sister is among them. I will have her assigned as a member of your and Tingyun's guard detail."

"Thank you, Director."

Ji Yuan thanked her happily.

Although dragged onto the battlefield by Yukong, this arrangement would better protect his sister and himself.

Oh, and Tingyun too.

She was serving as a bodyguard, so naturally, she wouldn't be on the front lines, making her significantly safer.

And with him and Tingyun by her side, her safety was also guaranteed.

Ji Yuan knew very well that his sister would be a "widow" in a hundred years. A widow meant she survived. With him and Tingyun by her side, her safety could naturally be maximized.

Being on the same star-skiff, it wasn't possible for him and Tingyun to die in space while Sushang alone survived, was it?

"My dear sister, our safety, both Tingyun's and mine, depends entirely on you this time."

He thought to himself.

Ji Yuan made up his mind: after boarding, he would closely monitor his sister's situation and absolutely refuse to act alone.

Yukong instructed, "Alright, later you and Tingyun should get acquainted with the Cloud Knights and those new recruits. War will break out before long."

The Xianzhou Alliance was generally a reasonable organization, but when it came to Abundance Followers, they'd rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go.

"I understand."

Ji Yuan nodded.

"While you're at it, go tell Tingyun."
