"Hey, you three, if you're not official members, please don't wander Stargazer Navalia like that."
The employee, dressed in a red uniform from the Artisanship Commission, stopped mid-sentence and said, "Ah... it's Yanqing's Valiant Guard."
Aren't you guys just wandering around here too?
Qiong spoke sarcastically, looking at the so-called "employees" scattered around her, wondering how many of them were undercover agents.
"I'm an official, sent here specifically to investigate a strange problem."
The Artisanship Commission employee stared at the surrounding Starskiff, seemingly lost in thought.
"A strange question?"
Feixiao was immediately suspicious of the Artisanship Commission employee's answer and prepared to continue questioning him.
"That's right, unplanned Starskiff were manufactured, all produced at this dock on the Stargazer Navalia. Did the production line's capacity planning go wrong again?"
The Artisanship Commission employee glanced around again, looking at the list in his hand with a worried expression.
"This is very strange. The Starskiff produced before the Wardance should have been planned out. I'm really sorry, I must focus on the work at hand now. We can discuss any issues later."
The three exchanged a glance, concluding that they were preliminarily ruled out as suspects. They turned and left, heading towards the two employees of the Sky-Faring Commission.
"Who are you people? Don't you know that Stargazer Navalia has been blocked?"
A nearby employee seemed impatient and tried to shoo the three people away.
"Sigh, they're just a few uninvited tourists who wandered in by mistake. Let's talk this out."
The two employees spoke as if playing the good cop/bad cop, but they revealed a huge flaw:
As an employee of the Xianzhou Luofu, it's normal not to recognize General Yaoqing and the Trailblazer, but not recognizing Yanqing, who always leads from the front, is a major oversight.
" The Stargazer Navalia is blocked?" Qiong asked, seemingly surprised.
" Stargazer Navalia is the shipbuilding port of Xianzhou Luofu. If the Sky-Faring Commission wants to block the port, there must be official notification, right?"
Yanqing's questions followed closely behind, and the loopholes in the other party's words were gradually widening, only needing to be tightened slowly like a noose.
"Official documents? Of course. The Cloud Knights learned that someone had infiltrated Stargazer Navalia," the previously impatient employee explained.
"... Oh, that makes sense."
Yanqing suppressed the urge to laugh and continued questioning:
So you're investigating Borisin?
At this point, the two employees finally realized something was wrong and began to give vague excuses to evade the issue.
"We have received instructions from our superiors to seal off this area to prevent unauthorized personnel from interfering with the Cloud Knights inspection. We ask for your understanding."
The three exchanged another glance, then went to a secluded corner.
"A group of Borisin, disguised as strangers, have returned to Stargazer Navalia. The answer is already obvious--"
The person Feixiao was referring to was obvious: the Cloud Knights's wording was slightly problematic, but there wasn't a major error. And the Artisanship Commission employee was simply acting on official business. The answer was completely clear.
"They must be employees of the Sky-Faring Commission." Qiong came to this conclusion after only a brief moment of thought.
"I think so too," Yanqing agreed from the side.
"Do you remember me saying that the Cloud Knights blocked the news and tried to keep everything as it was? This means they shouldn't have blocked the Stargazer Navalia."
Feixiao astutely grasped the crux of the problem and continued:
"However, the two staff members urged us to leave, citing the [blockade of Stargazer Navalia ], which contradicted the Cloud Knights's original plan."
As soon as he finished speaking, Feixiao raised his hand and clashed his fist with his palm.
"Their clumsy disguise has come to an end; they can't escape now, no matter how hard they try."
The three secretly prepared their weapons and walked towards the two Sky-Faring Commission employees again.
"What are you all still doing here? I already said, the Stargazer Navalia has been blocked."
When the mild-mannered employee saw the three return and recalled the previous question, a sense of foreboding arose in his heart, and he prepared to make another evasive answer.
"I never gave such an order."
Feixiao's voice grew colder as he stared intently at the two employees.
"Who are you?"
Almost as if asking a question they already knew the answer to, both sides were already prepared to fight.
"You may never have seen me on the battlefield, but you must have heard my name."
Feixiao's voice carried an air of authority without anger, his gaze scrutinizing the two employees.
"But who gave you permission to answer questions with questions? Tell me how many accomplices you have? Where was the original plan to meet Hoolay?"
"That woman... is Yaoqing's general! What are you waiting for? Make your move!"
No longer concealing his true Borisin revealed his claws and transformed back into his original form. However, the three were already prepared for battle. Qiong took the initiative to bend his arm and gather his strength, then slammed his baseball bat down with unparalleled force. The Bu Borisin instantly sent flying several meters away, crashing heavily into a shipping container.
Another Borisin of the Bu Li Ren attacked Feixiao directly, but two bluish-white gunswords instantly appeared in his hands, crossed in an X shape, firmly blocking the attack. Yanqing's hands moved swiftly, and his flying sword thrust out, pinning one of the Borisin Ren to the ground.
"Hurry, deliver this message to Modu!"
He shouted one last thing, and Bu Liren, who had been Borisin by the baseball bat, struggled to his feet and quickly fled. Feixiao stared at the pinned Borisin, his expression unreadable.
Qiong and Yanqing jogged over and saw Borisin on the ground. Seeing Feixiao shake his head slightly, it seemed that he was not going to execute him now, so Yanqing removed the flying sword that had pinned him down.
Why don't you kill me?
The Borisin couldn't even lift his head, but he still managed to speak.
I still have some questions that haven't been answered.
Feixiao's voice was icy as he began preparing for the next stage of the interrogation.
"Having once been a war slave, you should be very familiar with us, the descendants of the Du Lan..."
The wolf soldier suddenly laughed, his voice full of provocation, attempting to further provoke Feixiao:
"Try it, use all the methods you know to make me talk. My only answer to you... will always be blood and claws."
Feixiao closed his eyes and savored the moment for a moment, then spoke:
"If that's the case, then I'm no different from you. I am the arrowhead piercing the wolf's heart; I grant you a swift death."
The wolf soldier laughed loudly, as if some great wish had been fulfilled:
"... This suits me perfectly. A lone wolf has long been prepared for the possibility of never returning home."
"Unfortunately, you failed to capture my partner... He will warn his companions--"
Feixiao smiled, looking at the fallen Borisin with a hint of disdain:
"Before you close your eyes, you should know that I allowed him to escape. Your companions will lead the Cloud Knights to find Hoolay's whereabouts."
"Aaaaaah--!"
A brief roar from Borisin, initially filled with anger but later turning into despair, echoed over Stargazer Navalia.
