Ruan Mei Is Back[Second Update, 3k]
"Um."
Jing Yuan nodded with a smile.
He had already made preparations before this star core eruption.
But at this moment, Genyi changed his tone again.
"There was some unrest in residential areas such as Goldengrove."
"Hmm? Is there some kind of disturbance over there?"
Jing Yuan was also somewhat puzzled.
Genyi said in a deep voice, "On many walls over there, it's written that this star core eruption was caused by Dan Feng. General, shall we go and hunt down that former High Elder?"
His eyes held a hint of indignation.
He was present when Dan Feng caused all that trouble back then. Now that he heard news of him, the old general Genyi was extremely dissatisfied and wanted to arrest him and imprison him in the Prison of Deep Seclusion.
Upon hearing Genyi's words, Jing Yuan's expression turned to surprise.
Immediately,
His expression turned both amused and exasperated.
The chances of Dan Feng arriving on the Xianzhou are extremely low. And the one person on the Xianzhou who would resort to such a low-level tactic to 'frame' him is indeed someone.
"I just don't know Yingxing... no, he should be called Ren now, has already joined the Stellaron Hunter. The leader of the Stellaron Hunter shouldn't let him do something so meaningless."
Even Jing Yuan didn't expect that Ren was currently in a state of free movement.
These acts of graffiti were entirely driven by personal grudges, without any ulterior motives.
Genyi pressed further, "General, what should we do?"
"For now, let's leave him alone."
Jing Yuan waved his hand in response to Genyi.
Astral Express.
Tingyun, still wearing a mask and hood, stood at the train window looking at the starry sky in outer space.
She and Xing had already boarded the Astral Express and were now heading towards their next destination.
Even Himeko and Welt Yang, another adult on the train, were unable to see Tingyun's face or recognize her voice through non-forced means using the mask provided by the Herta.
Xing stood silently beside her.
"The starry sea outside is really beautiful," Xing said to Tingyun.
"Yes, it is indeed very beautiful. The scenery here is rarely seen, even during my journeys to other planets."
March 7th then joined in, asking Tingyun curiously, "Miss Fox, have you traveled to various planets and explored the starry sea quite a bit?"
Tingyun used an alias; everyone else on the train called her Miss Fox.
"Yes, it's all thanks to the Trailblaze Aeon for Trailblaze the way."
Tingyun nodded.
"That Miss Fox must be a very remarkable person. By the way, what is your favorite sight?... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked about your identity."
Just as she was about to ask on March 7th, she remembered Herta's instructions before she got on the bus and quickly made up her mind.
"It's alright. Hiding my identity was out of necessity. Once things are resolved, I will definitely tell you what I look like. As for your question, I can answer it too."
Tingyun's expression revealed a sweet look.
"Of course, it was the time I watched it with my boyfriend."
"Hmm, I believe I'll be able to find out what you look like soon... Wait, you have a boyfriend!"
On March 7th, I realized my mistake too late, and only realized it halfway through what I was saying.
Xing shrugged, looking helpless.
"Yes."
Tingyun said with a smile.
"This is incredible, absolutely incredible! Miss Fox, you are the second person on our train to have a lover."
March 7th said in shock.
Just then, the Conductor Pom-Pom, walked over with small steps, carrying a tray with several glasses of juice on it.
"Come on, you Nameless, have some drinks first."
"Nameless? Me?"
Tingyun pointed to herself, somewhat surprised.
"As long as you follow the train, you're considered one of the Nameless. Even the worst guy, Pom-Pom will acknowledge his Nameless status. So why not you? Pom-Pom doesn't think you're a problem."
Pom-Pom's expression was not very pleasant, as if she was thinking of some unpleasant memories.
Tingyun smiled.
Then, Xing and March 7th picked up the juice together.
Just then, the train's announcement system came on.
[This is the Interstellar Peace News report. Good evening, viewers.]
[[Preservation] Klippefort Aeon's giant hammer slowly fell, the sound of which reverberated throughout the universe, deafeningly loud.]
The Erudition Society has made significant progress in its research on the mysterious phenomenon [stellar core] that appeared since the 2147th century, and major breakthroughs are expected soon. This will greatly alleviate the obstacles hindering interstellar communication.
March 7th rolled her eyes dismissively.
"This broadcast is from the Interastral Peace Corporation. All they do is promote their company and the Erudition Society, which has close ties with them. This is coming soon, but I don't know how long it will take. I've been listening to this a lot since I woke up, but I've never seen any results."
Just then, the next broadcast came on.
[Breaking news! Our reporter in Luofu Starfaring Vessel reports that a star core exploded on the Luofu Starfaring Vessel before the eighth system was activated.]
Upon hearing this, Tingyun perked up.
[Furthermore, according to rumors, many residents claim that the recent star core eruption was caused by Dan Feng, a wanted criminal from the Luofu Starfaring Vessel. Dan Feng is currently acting arrogantly, directly writing "[This was done by Dan Feng]" in many places. The specific details are still under investigation. This station deeply sympathizes with the plight of the Luofu Starfaring Vessel and hopes that the Luofu Starfaring Vessel can resolve the star core crisis as soon as possible.]
"Huh? The bad guy who caused the star core to explode is named Dan Feng? Dan Heng, that name sounds like yours!"
On March 7th, while listening to the radio, he curiously turned to look at the members of the Astral Express, including the cold-faced young man Dan Heng.
In her sight, Dan Heng's expression was visibly unpleasant.
Even though it's just a little bit, it's clearly shown on his expressionless face.
"Hey? What's wrong?"
Seeing his expression, March 7th asked in bewilderment.
"No, it's nothing."
Dan Heng slowly stood up.
"I have some things to do, so I'll go back to my room to rest first."
After he finished speaking, he walked into the room.
Seeing his performance, Welt Young also stood up.
He said to Himeko beside him, "Himeko, I'm going to check on Dan Heng's condition."
"Um."
Himeko nodded.

Dan Heng walked to his dormitory room.
However, before the door was closed, Welt Young walked in.
"Do you mind if I come into your room?"
Welt Dan Heng.
"Yes, I don't mind, Mr. Welt."
Dan Heng shook his head and opened the door, gesturing for Welt Young to come in.
After entering Dan Heng's room, Welt closed the door and asked Dan Heng seriously, "You have things you should do, right?"
Dan Heng and Welt stared at each other for a long time.
Finally, Dan Heng nodded silently.
"Yes, I still have things to take care of on the Xianzhou. However, we are quite a distance from the Xianzhou now."
"It's alright, you can take another route," Welt said to Dan Heng. "You're not the Astral Express, and there's more than one way to reach the Luofu Starfaring Vessel. Just go over there and come back in time."
Dan Heng nodded.
"Okay, I understand. If I can come back, I'll be back very soon..."
At this moment, March 7th said to them, "Hey, Dan Heng, don't say such discouraging things. The Luofu Starfaring Vessel isn't a dangerous place. You're not one of those Abundance Followers, the Luofu Starfaring Vessel won't attack you. Just go and come back."
Xing and Tingyun were also behind them, and they nodded in unison.
Of course, Tingyun hesitated a little when she nodded.
Dan Heng, Dan Feng, is all of this really unrelated?
You should know that Dan Feng is a notorious criminal on the Xianzhou.
Both Welt Yang and Xing witnessed Tingyun's actions. Xing already knew that Tingyun was Celestial Ark Native, while Welt Yang noticed her reaction.
He immediately said to Dan Heng, "Dan Heng, the Herta Space Station isn't far from here. Go back to the Herta Space Station first, borrow a ship from Ms. Herta, and then go to the Xianzhou. Remember to keep in touch with us frequently."
"Yes, I know."
Dan Heng nodded earnestly.
Ji Yuan returned to his home and found it empty.
Huohuo began learning her Remembrance storage technique and planned to teach it to the people of the Ten-Lords Commission. Sushang also left home.
There are still messages from her on my phone.
[Sushang: Brother, the star core erupted today, and there are many things to handle on the Xianzhou. Our Cloud Knights troops have to go on official business and probably won't be home for the next few days.]
Ji Yuan: Okay, I understand. Please be careful.
[Sushang: Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself.]
Ji Yuan put down his phone, knowing that all of this was arranged by General Jing Yuan.
They deliberately separated Sushang and Huohuo, putting them in a safe place.
Now I'm all alone here.
Let's get started.
Ji Yuan first intended to test Bailu's healing abilities.
He picked up a scalpel used in the experiment and made a cut on his arm.
"Hiss--"
The enormous wound made him gasp.
However, he forced himself to endure the pain and began to treat his injuries.
Dragon Lord Arts, Activate!
Ji Yuan silently recited this in his heart.
The energy of magic flowed within his fingers, his fingertips seemingly crackling with lightning. As Ji Yuan's fingers traced the wound, the tingling sensation of the Ji Yuan instantly lessened the pain considerably. Simultaneously, the wound began to gradually disappear before Ji Yuan's eyes.
Looking at his arm, which had recovered completely, Ji Yuan was very happy.
