A few people said this, and the onlookers who found it boring had already left. Only the four of them remained.
Seeing this scene, Sushang looked around in a bit of a panic.
"I'm sorry, I thought our performance would bring in some popularity," Sushang apologized to Ginevere, "I'm truly very sorry."
As she spoke, she also shot Ji Yuan a fierce glare.
"Don't worry. It's normal for performances to have unexpected issues. And isn't it natural for a brother to care about his sister?" Ginevere patted Sushang's clothes and said with a smile, "If you want to repay me, then help me come up with a more resonant name for the Celestial Ark."
"This?" Sushang's expression turned thoughtful.
Soon, she clapped her hands and said, "I've thought of a name. Ginevere, how about Guinaifen for your name on the Celestial Ark? 'Gui' means auspicious wood, 'Nai' means 'is', and 'Fen' means fragrant."
"Guinaifen?" Ginevere repeated the name a few times, "What a great name! I'll be called Guinaifen on the Celestial Ark from now on!"
Ginevere, or rather, Guinaifen, was extremely happy.
Meanwhile, Ji Yuan and Tingyun stared at Sushang, dumbfounded.
"Are you... my sister?"
Ji Yuan asked Sushang after a moment of silence.
With your cultural level, you came up with this name?
"Hmph, what, you don't believe in my cultural level?"
Sushang said indignantly.
"I've never believed you had any,"
Ji Yuan muttered inwardly.
"You..." Sushang was so angered she could barely speak.
Tingyun spoke up then, "Alright, there's a small restaurant not far from here. I remember the food is quite good. Do you want to go eat together?"
"Okay,"
Sushang nodded.
Ginevere, no, Guinaifen, also nodded in agreement.
The four of them set off towards the nearest restaurant. Along the way, Tingyun casually bought a newspaper.
"Huh? Don't we have news on our phones? Why buy a paper?"
"Because there are many things you can't find online. The Celestial Arks don't publicize them so widely." Tingyun pointed to a piece of news and said, "For example, look at this: the Astral Express, which believes in exploration, will arrive at Herta Space Station soon. That's why I bought the newspaper – to find news that isn't searchable online."
Chapter 32: Ji Yuan: My Sister, You're Disobedient and Dating?!
The Astral Express?
Isn't that the setting from the game?
Although he hadn't played the game, he knew its name. Therefore, he understood that the people on this train should be the legendary main characters.
Ji Yuan's eyes lit up with excitement.
He thought that if he had the chance, he would definitely go and interact with them.
These were the legendary main characters, with the highest potential for growth. Perhaps in a hundred years, they could even kill a Stellaron.
Seeing Ji Yuan's expression, Tingyun smiled slightly and said to him, "Ji Yuan, our Celestial Ark has a pretty good relationship with those Nameless. Would you like to transfer to the trading company? That way, you'll have a great chance to meet the Nameless."
As members of the Ten Great Clans, transferring wouldn't be difficult if one had sufficient ability.
"I'll pass on that."
Ji Yuan refused without even thinking.
He wanted to see the main characters, but he didn't want to risk being alone with Tingyun.
Tingyun tightened her grip on her fan.
Guinaifen, watching from the side, quietly nudged Sushang's arm and whispered, "Shanshan, what's going on between your brother and Miss Tingyun?"
"What's going on? Sister Tingyun is a good friend."
Sushang didn't understand what Guinaifen was trying to ask.
"A good friend? You don't realize Miss Tingyun likes your brother and wants to be his girlfriend, do you?"
"Ah!?"
Sushang exclaimed dramatically.
Her shout immediately caught the attention of Ji Yuan and Tingyun.
"What's wrong?"
Sushang quickly waved her hands, "Nothing, nothing. Little Gui just told me something very strange."
"Oh."
Ji Yuan and Tingyun continued to look around, deciding where to eat.
Sushang quietly and anxiously asked Guinaifen, "How did you figure it out?"
"Shanshan, anyone with eyes can see it. You... you didn't see it, did you?"
Sushang blinked her clear eyes.
Guinaifen covered her forehead in exasperation.
Sushang subtly observed Tingyun, watching her expression, and stroked her chin, trying to put on a thoughtful look.
"You see it this time, right?"
"No," Sushang shook her head vigorously.
Then, seeing Guinaifen's expression, she immediately said, "It's mainly because I really can't imagine my brother being in love. He's not even two hundred years old yet."
In her mind, the possibility of Ji Yuan being in love simply didn't exist.
It was only after Guinaifen's reminder that she finally realized this.
Looking at Tingyun and Ji Yuan, she appeared somewhat preoccupied.
They found a nice restaurant and walked in.
While Tingyun went to order food, Sushang pulled Ji Yuan to a corner of the restaurant.
Ji Yuan, though confused, followed Sushang.
"Brother, I need to tell you something."
Sushang said to Ji Yuan.
"What is it?"
Ji Yuan looked at Sushang curiously.
Sushang looked up and asked, "Brother, are you going to start dating early?"
She wouldn't be comfortable eating until she got a clear answer.
Ji Yuan was speechless.
"First, I'm already working, so dating is normal. Second, I have other things to do right now, and I really don't want to date for the time being."
It would be a disservice to others...
"Oh, I see!" Hearing Ji Yuan say this, Sushang felt inexplicably relieved. But she still reminded her brother, "But Brother, don't play with people's feelings! If you act like a playboy, I'll definitely tell Mother."
Sushang received another chop to the head.
"As for you..." Sushang started, but Ji Yuan preempted her, saying to Sushang, "You're still a child, you absolutely cannot start dating early."
Hearing Ji Yuan's warning, Sushang rolled her eyes at him.
"Me, dating early? Don't worry, I definitely won't."
"You promise?"
"Absolutely!"
"If you lie to me, I'll break that boy's legs."
"Mhm, mhm."
Sushang nodded indifferently.
When the two returned, Tingyun had already ordered the food.
As the food was served, Ji Yuan and Tingyun told Sushang about their next course of action.
The Cloud Knights' next move was not a secret. Since the Orion Trading Company had acted like this, it was inevitable that the Celestial Arks would retaliate. Any faction associated with the Abundance Followers had been issued a kill order by the Celestial Arks, with attacks to be carried out as swiftly as possible.
This approach seemed to waste military power, but because of the Celestial Arks' ruthless actions, many factions were afraid to associate with the Abundance Followers, thus saving them a lot of effort.
Ji Yuan instructed Sushang, "Make sure you stand close to me and Tingyun when the time comes."
"Brother, I'm already a mature Cloud Knight. I can protect myself,"
Sushang said to Ji Yuan with dissatisfaction.
She thought Ji Yuan wanted to protect her.
After all, based on yesterday's performance, Sushang felt her swordsmanship was inferior to Ji Yuan's.
"I'm not here to protect you, I'm asking you to protect me."
Ji Yuan said exasperatedly.
If you're not here, it's too dangerous for just the two of us, Tingyun and me.
"Oh."
Sushang nodded.
However, she still didn't quite believe her brother actually intended for her to protect him.
The four of them finished their meal together.
As they were paying the bill, Ji Yuan immediately felt the system refresh again.
Take a look at the system.
[You had lunch with a legendary acrobat master...]
[You had lunch with a corpse...]
[You had lunch with a widow...]
Ji Yuan glared fiercely at Sushang.
You little sister, how dare you lie to your brother.
No, I have to educate you properly later, let her know that she absolutely cannot fall in love early.
A sister is still a feather duster lacking love.
The Orion Trading Company's encampment.
A famous trading company in the galaxy, its headquarters is an entire planet.
At this moment, within the headquarters, the trading company's guards were patrolling nervously. Various defensive installations were also being continuously set up. Most importantly, many Buli Ren appeared openly among them.
They were also prepared to go to war with the Luofu Starfaring Vessel.
And at this critical moment of tense war with the Starfaring Vessel.
A 'fox person' appeared on the street.
50180909
Brown hair, a fluffy tail behind her, holding a folding fan in her hand, with graceful movements and a stunningly beautiful appearance.
If anyone else from the Luofu Starfaring Vessel saw her, they would recognize her appearance as identical to Tingyun's at a glance.
